Land Administration

VII. Reasonable Adjustment of Land Rights

1. Rights of Foreigners to Acquire and Transfer Land

To protect our citizen's livelihoods and national security within the ROC, any case of land acquisition
or transfer by foreigners must be approved by the relevant special municipality/county/city governments

and reported to the MOI. In 2017, 3,779 plots with a total area of 152.9916 hectares and 1,200 buildings
with a total area of 12.149 hectares were consequently approved for acquisition.

2. Approving the Public Land Appropriation

Because government agencies need public land to establish public enterprises, in 2017 the MOI,
on behalf of the Executive Yuan, approved the appropriation of 1,324 public land plots with a total

area of 93.0921 hectares and 24 buildings with a total area of 0.3856 hectares in accordance with
Article 26 of the Land Act.

3. Approving the Public Land Disposition

In order to deal with the disposition, encumbrance, or leasing of the land owned by special municipalities/

counties/cities for a period longer than ten years, the MOI, on behalf of the Executive Yuan, approved the
disposition of 609 public land plots with a total area of 256.0634 hectares, as well as the disposition of 6
buildings with a total area of 0.0741 hectares, in accordance with Article 25 of the Land Act in 2017.

VIII. Promoting Land Use

The MOI adjures local governments to conduct land readjustment and zone expropriation in order to
promote land use and development in conjunction with urban reconstruction and rural community renewal.
The goal in this case is to promote the synchronous development of urban and rural parts of the country all
in order to provide an excellent quality of life for the residents of these areas.

1. Farmland Readjustment

The MOI has been effecting farmland readjustments since 1958 in order to improve the nation's
environment for agricultural production and also to promote the utilization of farmland. As of 2017, 812
districts covering 393,628 hectares had been completely readjusted (See Table 5-4).
