Abstract With dual objectives on farmland protecting and economic development supporting, land use planning in China is facing more uncertain needs. Land use planning under the new situation should pay much attention to the harmonious development of the interactive human-land process. Oriented from multi-discipline intersection, place identity theory reveals human-land relationship in the lens of social construction. The combination of land use planning and place identity theory which is based on social construction mechanism may provide alternative solution to explain and tackle the emerging human-land contradictions. Present land use planning research in China focus a lot on the skill and results of planning. The fact that land use planning is a process of social construction is widely overlooked, leading to little attention on the importance and quality of planning process. Starting with the social construction mechanism in land use planning, this paper is to integrate place identity theory which centers on social construction into present land-use planning model in China. Two of the major land use planning models, close and open planning, are analyzed to build the study foundation. A place identity based land use planning model is constructed, which is expected to improve the quality of both process and achievements of land use planning. The study shows that place identity can reconcile the complexities of land use, and is closely connected to land use planning. The place identity based land use planning model proposed in this paper may coordinate regional growth objectives of land capital, economic capital, human racecourses capital and social capital. The model addresses harmony between different land use actors, planning spatial scales, regional development goals and planning strategies at different levels.
