Generally, the homestead land use areas of these two villages exceeded those of the national standard. In addition, the vacancy rates of these two areas were relatively high, which were 18.5% and 27% , respectively. The levels of intensive use in the two villages were different: the intensive degree of homestead land use of Nanchai Village was 0.9594 and that of Shijiayu Village was 0.7291.
