Land management right transfer is another significant farmland innovation after the Household Contract Responsibility (HCR) system. It has profound environmental and socioeconomic impacts on our complex society, and relevant research has been increased rapidly during the past decade. These researches mainly involve the policy′s impacts on society, economy and its mechanism. However, as far as we know, the effect of this innovation on landscape is poorly understood. In fact, the relationship between land rights and landscape has been concerned by abroad scholars in recent years. Since the importance of innovation′s effect on landscape at patch level, our study would provide valuable information for policy establishment. In this article, we take Changping district of Beijing as a case, and categorize the rural productive land into three right types as first level landscape and ten land-use types as second level landscape. The right types are Family type, Rental type and Collectivity type respectively. Family type means that farmer gets the right by land allotment of rural community. Rental type means that Farmer or economic organization gets other farmers′ rights by exchange, tenancy or other ways. Collectivity type means that collective organization gets the right by reserving partial land in the process of land allotment of rural community. Based on extracting boundaries of land patches partitioned by rights, we analyzed landscape characteristics of the three land right types and their land-use types respectively by calculating several patch-level landscape metrics. The results show that land management right transfer is subjected to developed areas, where land-use structure is transformed from dominant crop land to various land-use types. Although the patch-level operation scale of agricultural land has increased, a large amount of construction land also leads to fragmentation of regional landscape. Land patches present relatively square shape, however, narrow patches still account for a large proportion in crops land. Furthermore, patches of construction land present mosaic pattern, while the degrees of connected patches of agricultural land-use types remain relatively low. Based on the results, although land transfer enhanced the agricultural land use intensity, non-crop land also imperiled the food security of the region. In addition, construction land patches lead to fragmentation of farmland landscape. As a consequence, it weakened the ecological effect of farmland landscape and increased the risk of environmental pollution. The original intention of this reform is to solve the performance bottlenecks of agricultural production under the HCR system, but our results show that there is a gap between effects of policy enforcement and the goal. So for the future policy optimization and regional ecosystem management, first, we suggest that the government should avoid further fragmentation on the family right type and make collective organizations full guide the land transfer, especially, in the region where the economy and location conditions are relative backward. Second, for the non-crop land use tendency after transfer, besides strengthening land use supervision, government and collective organization should actively support big farming household and impel the connected patches transfer. Last, the government should establish corresponding system of environmental assessment and avoid agricultural land, especially, crop land to be contaminated by industry and recreation activity around.
