The results showed that Tianjin’s districts can be divided into three categories on the basis of the economic restriction for cultivated land potential transforming from the consolidation of rural residential area: (1) no economic restriction district, 1≥a（coefficient of economic restrictive correction）≥0.6, included three districts: Xiqing District, Beichen District and Dongli District; (2)certain economic restriction district, 0.6＞a ≥0.3, included six districts: Tanggu Distircrt, Jinnan District, Wuqing District, Ninghe District, Hangu District and Dagang District; (3)large economic restriction district, 0.3＞a ≥0, included three districts: Ji District, Baodi District and Jinghai District.
