Abstract

The development of the rural economy and society is inextricably linked to the development and use of land. The law gives village officials the power to handle land use affairs on behalf of all members of the village. In the process, corruption has appeared in some village officials. Because of the huge amount of money involved in corruption cases in this area, it harms the interests of villagers and the credibility of the government. The purpose of this article is to investigate whether there is a significant correlation between land use and village cadre corruption; on the other hand, it is to determine which factors have an impact on this kind of corruption, and to make suggestions for reducing this phenomenon. This article theoretically analyzes the reasons for this phenomenon based on the existing literature. The theory believes that this is because the local government uses land as the main means to increase fiscal revenue, and the developers and local public officials are formed a community of interests to some extent for their own interests.. Based on the influencing factors pointed out in the literature, the investigation and analysis of whether there is a correlation between land transfer and expropriation and the corruption of village cadres, the results show that there are no significant correlation between them in Henan. Although land-related policies and development have a fundamental impact on rural society, the development and use of land may only provide an opportunity, but it does not directly affect the corruption of village cadres. It can be observed that the factors affecting the corruption of village cadres It is multifaceted. However, there is a significant positive correlation (significantly at the 0.05 confidence level) between factors such as higher-level assessment pressure, information disclosure, and the level of cadres' integrity. From the perspective of the village, if this kind of corruption occurs, it is sometimes difficult to stop the village farmers, and can only rely on the constraints and checks and balances of the higher-level government. Therefore, to reduce the occurrence of this phenomenon, it is possible to improve the transparency of information in the process of land development decision-making and implementation, as well as higher-level governments and departments to strengthen supervision and evaluation, and guide village cadres to clean administration through the party's ideology.
