——Investigation report on the establishment of the land coordinator system in Ningling County, Henan Province. Since 2007, there have been gratifying changes in the protection of cultivated land in Ningling County, Henan Province.

From January to October, the number of land petitions in the county dropped from 97 in the previous year to 58, and land violation cases dropped from 596 in the previous year to 298, a decrease of 40% and 50% respectively, and the number of land violations in the province was eliminated.

Jing Yue level petition.

The county’s 800,000 acres of cultivated land are effectively protected.

A few days ago, when reporters visited this vibrant land and explored the reasons for this achievement, Jia Hongyu, secretary of the county party committee, said with emotion: "The land coordinators have contributed a lot." Assisting the land management office to manage and utilize the land well at the end of 2005

, the structural reform of the 14 township land and resources offices in Ningling County has all been put in place. The land and resources bureaus and grassroots offices have new teams, new personnel, and new tasks. Everyone's enthusiasm for starting a business is unprecedentedly high.

However, we encountered a problem at work, that is, land violations occurred frequently and the number of land petitions remained high. Land and resources management personnel were unable to take precautions and were always in a passive situation.

Just as the comrades described: one village destroyed its farmland and sold the land, and another village built houses on arable land; before the masses planted trees on farmland, someone jumped up and petitioned... Faced with the severe situation of cultivated land protection, the bureau

The party group had to sit down and hold a special meeting to brainstorm and come up with good strategies.

Unit directors complained that "supervision is difficult", "enforcement is difficult" and their work is difficult to do.

To sum up, there are three main situations: First, land violations are widespread and widespread, and land and resources management personnel focus on one thing and ignore the other, and wait until the facts are discovered, causing losses.

A director of the Institute of Land and Resources said: "I don't have clairvoyance or ears. There are four or five people in charge of one institute, and they are in charge of dozens of administrative villages, hundreds of natural villages, and tens of thousands of people. They run around and say hello every day.

Don't come here." Second, the grassroots cadres are not actively cooperating. Some think that the matter has nothing to do with them. They hide and push when they want. Some even stand aside and "watch the fun."

Third, land and resources management personnel cannot live in rural areas every day and guard cultivated land all the time, which provides time and place for lawbreakers to take advantage of loopholes.

They played tricks and engaged in guerrilla warfare with the land and resources management personnel. While you were patrolling during the day, they were breaking the law at night. While you were doing propaganda in the east of the village, they were going to the west of the village to dig up soil.

In order to change this situation, comrades also used their brains. Some proposed to find local cadres as "insiders" and "bodyguards" for the farmland to nip the problem in the bud.

Some people also believe that the land and resources management department cannot fight alone. Protecting cultivated land is the foundation of people's livelihood and is the most concerned, direct and practical interest of farmers. They should mobilize the masses and mobilize all aspects of power so that farmers can truly enjoy the right to know,

The right to participate and supervise.

The more participants discuss, the clearer their ideas become and the more unified their opinions become.

Finally, *** colleagues realized that to stop land violations and effectively protect the safety of cultivated land, the land management department alone was far from enough. It was necessary to identify a capable cadre in each administrative village to assist the land management department to make good use of the land. This person

It is best to have rural Party branch secretaries serve concurrently, because they have the highest prestige among the masses, have people to listen to their words and help in their work, have influence, appeal and cohesion, and can take on the important task of protecting the red line of cultivated land.

After reaching the consensus, the Ningling County Land and Resources Bureau regarded it as a major event and made a detailed report to the Shangqiu City Land and Resources Bureau and the county party committee and county government, and received their attention and support.

The county government specifically issued a document in Ningzhengban [2006] No. 2, requiring all towns and villages to select from the current village branch secretaries or village committee directors through mass recommendation, leadership control, and land and resources bureau review and approval and issuance of appointment certificates.

Each administrative village is assigned 1 to 2 land coordinators, who are responsible for publicizing land laws and policies, and assisting the Department of Land and Resources in farmland protection and land dispute mediation.

In February 2006, the 498 land coordinators they formally hired took office in the county's 366 administrative villages.

Later, foreign units came to learn from it. At that time, someone asked: "How did you come up with the idea of ??having land coordinators?" "Land coordinators were not thought of out of thin air. They are the result of the development of land and resources management at a certain historical stage.

It is a product of the times and has its objective inevitability. We just adapt to the requirements of the development of the situation. Because their duties are to assist the land and resources management of the land, they are called land coordinators, referred to as "county land coordinators".

The answers given by Feng Yemao, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Bureau of Resources, made the visitors nod frequently and give warm applause.

The management system is improving day by day. The land coordinator is like a newly unearthed seedling on the 798 square kilometers of land in Ningling County. Although it is strong and has good development momentum, it still needs sunlight, water, fertilizer and other growth factors, and must be carefully cared for.

and management.

County leaders have repeatedly told the land department: "Land coordinators are a new thing. They must be cared for more, pay attention to training, standardize management, boldly experiment, and only succeed, not fail, so as to continuously push forward the land cause." Land coordinators

After taking office, he was indeed very enthusiastic and motivated, and became the right-hand man of the land personnel. However, three obvious problems soon emerged.

First, some people do not have a strong sense of responsibility and are afraid of offending others. They do not speak up when encountering problems and avoid conflicts. They plant more flowers and plant fewer thorns, and want to be a "good old man".

Second, there is a lack of knowledge about land and resources and a weak concept of the legal system. They cannot talk about principles or laws, and even violate legal regulations.
