Abstract: Since early 1990's, the economic development in the Yangtze River Delta region has been in a very high speed. Recently, with the speedup of economic unification a new upsurge in economic development has emerged in this region, which will bring strong impact on its land resources, particularly on cultivated land resources. Facing this new situation and from the point view of land administration, some tactics to meet this situation must be adopted. In detail, under the prerequisite of making a better relation between economic development and protection of land resources, the services in supplying land resources for industrialization and urbanization as well as improving people's living condition should be more actively and initiatively enhanced. At the same time, the ideas to protect land resources, especially cultivated land resources should be more firmly and strongly kept in mind. In addition, the relation between the creation of the low valley for commercial costs and the preventon against losing of stateowned landed properties should be properly treated. Moreover, the land market should be more formally managed. Furthermore, the system of land inviting bids and auction has also to be improved, and the innovated way of land storage for future use should be more actively explored. Finally, more attention should be paid on the livelihood safeguard for the farmers who has lost or will lose all or part of their farmland in the course of land condemnation.

Key words: economic unification, land resources, land administration, the Yangtze River Delta
