Because of its geographical reasons, the land border region in the area of theborder among nations plays a unique role of economic, political and cultural. China’sland border is22,000km length, the border areas border on14countries, over30nations live with the same nation in the adjoined counties. The total area of its landborder areas ups to2.12million square kilometers, accounting for about22%of thecountry’s total area. International political status enhanced as China’s economicstrength, and the international cultural exchange becomes more frequently. The roleof the land border areas opening as a window highlights, therefore, the depth andbreadth of the study in this region has a significant meaning to our foreign economy,politics and cultural development.Floating population issues uniquely occurred in the specific social, economic,and historical conditions of China. In the promotion of China’s rapid economicdevelopment, urban pattern changed dramatically, and many social problems derived.Floating population boosts Chinese economy but also practices Chinese problems.Defining the land border areas as the scope of the study, the emerging of populationfloating behavior and its impact within demonstrate its special regionalism. Based onthe deep analysis on the outflow area, the special local advantages of the land borderareas highlight, and have distinguished socio-economic and cultural conditions fromthe inland areas, hence to analyze the impact of population outflow behavior factors.Using2011dynamic monitoring data in the survey of the three types of areas ofthe land border areas (ecologically fragile areas, land border areas and ethnic minorityareas), integrated with demography, sociology, statistics, law, geography, macroeconomics, regional economics and other relative theories to study the floatingpopulation issues in border areas. This study idea borrows the Western populationmicroscopic theory of migration from the theoretical level---analyzing migrationmotives and migration decision, to explore the selectivity of migration and itsconsequences, in the framework of costs and benefits, further analyzed the science,socio-economic, cultural and other characteristics of the consequences of themigration selectivity. From the empirical research level, according to the survey dataof floating population status quo on the land border areas, explained one by one fromthe outflow of population and family characteristics, population outflow conditions,the socio-economic development situation of the outflow areas; then used SPSSstatistical software presuming and verifying which features are important factorsaffecting population outflow from the perspective of the outflow of population andfamily characteristics; at last, analyzed the impact of the outflow behavior on outflowareas (overall) and left-behind family (composed of units), and expounded from thevarious levels of social, economic, political, cultural etc.In this paper, the results obtained from the dichotomous data of Logistic.: gender,age, marital status, time of marriage, education level, residential place, and if there isa migration experience or whether migrated from other place in a total of eightindependent variables with statistical significance, that have an impact on migrationselectivity and its consequences.This article consists of seven chapters, can be divided into three parts based onthe logical relationship between the content.The first part is the introduction and theoretical part, involved in the first twochapters. The introduction presented the research background, the purpose andsignificance of research ideas, research methods and data sources, as well as theresearch contents and innovation; the theoretical part defines and describes theconcepts using in this article, summarized and elaborate the relevant theory of population movements. Meanwhile, the summarized and analyzed of the research onthe floating population and land border areas by domestic and foreign scholars.The second part is a core part of this article, including all content of the third,fourth, fifth and sixth chapters. The third chapter is introduced about thesocio-economic development and general demographic changes, focusing on naturaldemographic changes, migration changes and social change status on the land borderareas. Chapter4is about the status and the characteristics of population outflow, firstintroduced the population outflow status of the land boarder areas from the historicperspective, and then described the size and flow direction of the outflow population;followed by description and analysis on the characteristics of the outflow populationgroups and families, mainly on the description of the personal characteristics fromangles of gender, age, education level, residential places. The description of familycharacteristics is mainly on the source of family income, family structure and otherlevels. The fifth chapter is the analysis of the factors affecting the population outflowof land border areas. As the core chapter, this chapter is mainly through researchassumptions and statistical analysis to do regression analysis on the factors affectingpopulation outflow, verified the hypotheses and using the data as basis for furtherdescription. Chapter6is also a core chapter, mainly on the influence of populationoutflow behavior on the outflow areas. The content explained deeply from twoaspects: First, the impact on left-behind families, that is to explore an effectivestrategy by independently analyzing impacts on left-behind families and left-behindgroups; second is the impact on socio-economic development of the outflow areas,that in the analysis of the status of the social life of the outflow areas, practicalproblems appeared, such as land idle, the deficient infrastructure construction,deterioration of human capital structure which seek proper solution for the localactual situation.The third part is a summary of the whole writing including Chapter7. On one hand, concluded former writing conclusions and suggestions on land border areasdevelopment, on the other hand raised the flows of this writing, as well as the outlookfor the research in the field.Research innovations embodied at three levels: First, the selection of theresearch scope: the land border areas. Population mobility of the land border regionhas its particularity, in this paper by using the survey data related to the border region,effectively distinguish the differences among different land border areas, to guideeconomic and social development of border areas with geographical differences intodifferent positions and directions, then to achieve particular path of development. Theresearch perspective selection: the view of outflow areas. At present, literaturesdiscuss about the population mobility and its influences from the angle of the outflowarea are limited, therefore, this work seeks to research deeply from the perspective ofthe outflow areas, analyzes the present status of population mobility of the landboarder areas, discuss about the impact of the population outflow on outflow areasfrom social, economic, political and other levels. The third is the selection of theanalytical model: introducing the TAM model from the theoretical level to analyzethe degree of acceptance on agricultural technology. This model using a perspectiveof individuality, combined with its demographic characteristics, and thus bothorganically linked, from a demographic point of view to explain the personalacceptance of the technology.
