Abstract: As a key component of both overall land use planning and land consolidation planning, rural residential land consolidation was also one of the important procedures in building a new socialist countryside. The author sought to explore the sequence of rural residential land consolidation at the level of administrative villages. In this paper Liuhe District, Nanjing City was chosen as the study area and evaluated at the level of administrative villages by the consolidation order indicators. After calculating the weighted average scores of assessment units, the villages were classified into 3 categories, including the short-term zone, the mediumterm zone and the long-term zone according to the urgency for residential land consolidation via the clustering method. The area of the short-term zone which was under the most urgent need of consolidation was 2247.21 hm² while those of the other 2 types of zone were 9574.23 hm² and 2852.51 hm² respectively.
