[Objective] The purpose of this study was to analyze the evolution trend of policies of supervision and maintenance of land consolidation projects between 2000 to 2016 and thus reveal the evolution law in order to provide a theoretical reference for further formulating reasonable management policies for land consolidation.[Methods] The content analysis method was employed.[Results] ① A large number of relevant policies had emerged during study term and the average items reached 6 from 2009 to 2016

involving 20 provinces; ② The existing policies' forms were mainly notices

opinions

and management regulations and so on

and therefore

the level of effectiveness of those policies was rather low; ③ The national policies were concentrated in 2000 to 2008

mainly about subject and measurement

and the local policies were mostly released in eastern and central regions

mainly about subject and fund; ④ The number of specialized policy was far less than the comprehensive policy.[Conclusion] The existing policy system is still lack of detailed rules and regional difference and it is strongly suggested to evaluate the policies' effect

increase the interactivity between national and local policies

and improve the institutional structure of the policy system.
