[Objective] Land use conflict, as the spatial manifestation of conflicting human-land relationships, has a profound impact on regional sustainable development. This study aimed to examine the paradigms and main content of land use conflict research and provide a theoretical and practical reference for scientific and effective management of land use conflict in the new era of China. [Methods] A series of achievements and progress of land use conflict research were systematically reviewed. [Results] There are some weaknesses in the current research of land use conflict in terms of the construction of basic theoretical system, the formation of scientific and systematic conflict evaluation system, the in-depth study of conflict evolution mechanism, the improvement of conflict simulation accuracy, and the formation of effective governance pathways. Future research on land use conflict should take “basic theory construction-conflict identification, evaluation, and evolution process analysis-mechanism analysis-effect and influence analysis-situation simulation and prediction-regulation pathway and feedback identification” as the basic framework. Based on the perspective of multidisciplinary integration, studies should focus on the construction and improvement of the basic theories of land use conflict according to the dynamic mechanism theory, the accurate identification and comprehensive evaluation of land use conflict based on multiple attribute characteristics, the spatial-temporal evolution process of land use conflict at typical scale and in typical areas, the evolution mechanism of land use conflict based on multi-scale and multi-dimensional interaction, and the recognition and evaluation of the comprehensive effect of land use conflict oriented to sustainable development, and carry out systematic research on land use conflict simulation and path optimization based on actor behavior. [Conclusion] It is of great theoretical and practical significance to construct a theoretical basis for multidisciplinary integration and carry out systematic research on the development of relevant methodologies and research paths, which will guide the deepening of land use conflict research and promote regional sustainable development.
