Research results showed that, the rural residential reclamation potential was relatively high, in 2020 the theoretical potential and realistic potential were 1458.2 hm2, 371.31 hm2, the average consolidation potential coefficient amounted to 43.78%. Each village potential difference obvious, most of them distribution in Ⅱ, Ⅲ level, large increase cultivated land area were less; landform and the level of economic development was the main factors influencing the rural potential in the region.
