Cultivated land fragmentation (CLF) is a common phenomenon of use in the world, which has an essential effect on agricultural production. Given limitations single level previous study influencing factors CLF, this utilizes hierarchical linear model (HLM) to explore CLF from township and county levels Jiangsu Province, puts forward policy suggestions for relieving CLF. The results indicate that spatial distribution shows obvious characteristics Jiangsu, gradually increases north south. Besides, structure exists 43 % differences come townships, 57 counties. Furthermore, affected by multilevel factors, average patch area, GDP, proportion secondary tertiary industries, population density, road accessibility are dominant at level, explain 76 main include intensity, urbanization rate, 64 Ultimately, positive interaction with county-level overall guidance township-level specific implementation should be established alleviate Specifically, we scientifically formulate planning use, arrange consolidation projects according local conditions, readjust optimize economic structure, coordinate kinds demands revitalize inefficient urban land. At while strictly implementing policies, also promote focusing basic farmland construction rural residential readjustment, pay attention layout production industrial orderly transfer surplus laborers. This provides new perspective research important guiding formulating policies accelerate sustainable utilization cultivated
