Land use term: The land use term may be stable long-term use; or term use up to one specific day, month, year. This content depends on each type of land and the basis of land allocation, land lease or recognition of land use rights by the State.

Origin of land use: The origin of land use reflects the basis for forming land use rights of users, such as the state allocating land with land use fees; the state allocating land without land use fees; the state recognizing land use rights; Receiving land use rights transfer; Receiving donations; receiving inheritance; annual land lease payment; land lease payment for the entire lease term.

What is the meaning of land plot information?
