Based on the viewpoint of driving forces, current China’s collective construction land can be simply classified into two patterns, outside-driven and inner-driven. The former is government-guided mode and belongs to coercive institutional mode, the latter is autonomous mode of peasants and belongs to induced institutional change. The two patterns are different in some ways such as leading force, core mechanism, market access type, property attribute, advantage and disadvantage, and the relation between them is a kind of complementary relation instead of substitution relation. In the future, the transfer of collective construction land should uphold the principle of government leading and farmer autonomy, depend on the synergy of market regulation and government regulation, and follow the institutional evolution path with the combination of induced and coercive mode. China should rapidly set up a system to permit collective land to legally access to the market, rationally allocate the earnings from the development and transfer of collective land, cultivate transfer market for collective land, properly solve the problems in surplus labors employment in rural areas, and actively explore new community development mode with government-led and community-autonomy.
