Informed by Coasian transaction cost reasoning from a neo-institutional economic perspective, this literature review identifies and examines 225 available research works involving 188 sets of author entries spanning from 1919 to 2019. All are on or connected with land readjustment, with a focus on lot boundaries as rigidly delineated. Over the years researchers and practitioners have considered and reconsidered land readjustment under various names in different forms (whether consensual or non-consensual among land owners affected) but almost invariably involving replotting of proprietary boundaries and reallocation of rights to realigned lots in a new layout as an alternative to state taking of land (eminent domain) or developer purchase of all properties. This literature review, connected with the adoption of a policy proposal, is unique in three ways as far as land readjustment is concerned. First, it has a time span of just over a century from 1919 to 2019 and traces works on Japan from the 1920s. Second, it cross-references the works reviewed. Third, it has a theoretical interest in property rights with a specific focus on boundaries as a dimension of those rights, and articulates land readjustment as a subset of the transfer of development rights. Fourth, it employs ‘culturomics’ (Michel et al. 2011, Roth 2014) in fathoming the context of the concept land readjustment and associated terms.

从新制度经济学的角度，科亚斯交易成本推理提供信息，这篇文献综述识别并检查了 225 篇可用的研究作品，涉及 1919 年至 2019 年的 188 组作者条目。所有这些都与土地调整有关或与土地调整有关，重点是土地严格划定的界限。多年来，研究人员和从业者已经考虑和重新考虑了以不同形式（无论是受影响的土地所有者之间自愿还是非自愿）的各种名称的土地调整，但几乎总是涉及重新规划所有权边界和重新分配重新调整地块的权利，以新的布局作为国家征用土地（征用权）或开发商购买所有财产的替代方案。这篇文献综述与通过一项政策提案有关，就土地调整而言，在三个方面具有独特性。首先，它从 1919 年到 2019 年有一个多世纪的时间跨度，追溯了 1920 年代在日本的作品。其次，它交叉引用了所审查的作品。第三，它对产权有理论兴趣，特别关注边界作为这些权利的一个维度，并将土地调整作为发展权转让的一个子集。第四，它采用“文化组学”（Michel et al. 2011, Roth 2014）来理解土地调整概念和相关术语的背景。它对产权有理论兴趣，特别关注边界作为这些权利的一个维度，并将土地重新调整作为发展权转让的一个子集。第四，它采用“文化组学”（Michel et al. 2011, Roth 2014）来理解土地调整概念和相关术语的背景。它对产权有理论兴趣，特别关注边界作为这些权利的一个维度，并将土地重新调整作为发展权转让的一个子集。第四，它采用“文化组学”（Michel et al. 2011, Roth 2014）来理解土地调整概念和相关术语的背景。
