Decision-Making Evaluation of the Pilot Project of Comprehensive Land Consolidation from the Perspective of Farmers and Social Investors: A Case Study of the Project Applied in Xianning City, Hubei Province, in 2020
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
It is a very good research that can support decision making in LUC project.
I have a very minor comment:
Sections 3.1 and 3.2 have similar titles. It will be good to fid a new title for 3.2 and put the one of 3.2. to 3.1. They are only 2 perspectives in this research. I think it can be misleading to say 'different perspectives' while they are only two.

In relation to the above, I express the opinion that the work submitted for review should be published in its entirety after taking into account the comments of the reviewer but not require a review again.
