What Is the Operation Logic of Cultivated Land Protection Policies in China? A Grounded Theory Analysis

Cultivated land protection policies (CLPP) are essential for maintaining social stability, guaranteeing food security, and ensuring sustainable development. However, a mismatch exists between policy performance the objectives that influence implementation of CLPP, system mechanisms CLPP must be revealed explored. Based on literature review, this paper summarizes current dilemmas China’s cultivated at theoretical level, preliminarily depicts external foundation in view topography spatial distribution land. This uses texts as research samples based grounded theory to construct an analytical framework. The results show operation logic is founded situation–structure–motivation–action–space–outcome. Accordingly, systematic analysis in-depth understanding will help re-examine profound relationship text effect from such perspectives transnational, trans-regional, multi-scale. It also helps reveal hidden scientific value spatiotemporal pattern protection, serve formulation relevant future. Under background new era ecological civilization, it urgent enhance operational effectiveness identifying focus implementation, scientifically formulating great significance its success.
