This article examines ambiguous property rights through a taxonomic and exploratory account of post-colonial rural housing in Chinese Hong Kong. The case of indigenous village housing in post-colonial Hong Kong under a mature system of the rule
of law is used to demonstrate the ambiguities due to a gap between de jure and de facto property rights that may not degenerate into anarchy due to rational choices made under common law constraints driven ultimately by the land market. The implications
of the case study for evaluating ambiguities in property rights in China are also discussed.

The aim of this study was to determine the most sensitive grouping system in depicting and explaining variations of soil attributes around an urban area, in Nanjing. Grouping methods, including urban-rural division, in situ vegetation type, land use
