Abstract:What is the “public interest”? How to define the “public interest”? This is a main issue in the process of rural land acquisition in recent years.As China’s urbanization and industrialization speed up the process,a large number of rural land change into non-agricultural land,the number of landless peasants sharply increase,giving rise to a large number of conflicts and social contradictions.The reason leading to various conflicts and contradictions lies in the fact that the public interest be generalized and land acquisition compensation mechanism is extremely unreasonable.To protect the rights of landless peasants,we must clearly define the scope of public interest and improve China’s land requisition compensation mechanism.In this paper,through explore the meaning of public interest,the methods of defined and the main body of defined,at last,put forward the recommendations for the public interest as defined in the legislative process.
