for farmlands that were adjusted in 1971 by up to four meters, provided there are parallel water sup-
ply and discharge channels with concrete U ditches and also graded and paved roads with additional
pebbles. From 1988 to 2021, 910 districts covering an area of 94,647 hectares were completed (See
Table 5-8).

3. Rural Community Land Readjustment
There has been a serious lack of general planning and landholding compilations among local
rural communities. This situation has resulted in both poor environmental quality and spurious title
transfers of rural land rights. To correct this problem, the MOI started and completed land alterations

for rural communities, which involved 56 districts covering an area of 409 hectares, during the period
from 1987 to 2021.

4. Urban Land Readjustment

In order to enhance public construction and sound city integral development, the MOI not only ini-
tiated the exploration of suitable areas to implement urban land readjustment, but also encouraged

landowners to implement these procedures by organizing appropriate readjustment assemblies. As
of the end of 2021, 1,109 districts, totaling 18,265 hectares, have been completed under urban land

readjustment programs nationwide. Thus, due to these urban land readjustment programs, the MOI
has made 6,285 hectares of land available for public facilities, and 11,638 hectares for building pur-
poses, saving the government a total of NT$1,131.8 billion in construction expenses (See Table 5-9).
