We conducted this research to clarify the new framework to control the conversion of agricultural lands and land development without the control of the City Planning Act (CPA), as well as the influence of the abolition of zoning under the CPA considering conversions of agricultural lands in an area defined by the Act on Establishment of Agricultural Promotion Areas (AEAPA) and the Agricultural Land Law (ALL). As results, we found the distinguished influence upon the conversion of the Class 2 agricultural lands in the former urbanization control area. Within the former urbanization control area, the Class 2 agricultural lands converted to stores by land leasehold as a relatively large project, as well as houses by ownership transfer as small projects. Conversion of the agricultural lands to small apartments was supply-side controlled conversion and would not meet the demands of housing for rural migrants. The Class 2 agricultural lands in the suburban area without the land development control by the CPA, the agricultural lands converted to different types of land use. The AEAPA and ALL need to have acts to control land use of converted agricultural lands by zoning of rural area.
