The Research Of Social Supporting Network Of Land-lost Farmers

Along with the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization, and a mass of expropriation of countryside collective land, many farmers are compelled to leave their land which is bound by a common destiny. Therefore, a large number of farmers who have lost land appear out. The problem of land -lost farmers has becoming an important problem which determines whether China can realize its sustainable development in the process of urbanization and keep the stability of the whole society in the process of social reform and development. So, land-lost farmers should receive attention from academy.This paper mainly aims to study the social supporting networks of the last-land peasants in Chongqing Beibei. Several research methods such as literature, questionnaire and individual interview are employed to collect relevant information and data. In this paper, the general characters of feeling supporting net, financial supporting net and employment net of land-lost farmers are discussed. Also, the size, similarity and difference as well as their relationships of these nets are analyzed. In general, supporting nets of land-lost farmers are small, have same characters and little difference, but keep a tight distribution. The conclusions are drawn out as below:â… : The scale of land-lost farmers'emotional supporting network, finance supporting network and employment supporting network are 3.62, 3.14, and 2.64, respectively. The homogeneity of the supporting network is high, heterogeneity is relatively low. Their relationship is dominated by blood relationship, at meanwhile, the double identity of land-lost farmers provide their social support network with urban characteristics and modern characteristics, and with double characteristics of traditional society and modern society.â…¡: Social supporting network of land-lost farmers have gradually been changed from semi-closed to semi-opened. Before land expropriation, most farmers took their land as their basic source of economy and social security. They seldom communicated with outside except their villagers. It can be said that they live in acquaintances society and isolated society, and the radius of their relationship circle is very small; however, the overall resettlement after they lose their land break through their original social relations and reemployment make them communicate with outside more and more. Consequently, the previous closed social supporting net is gradually going to semi-opened one and their relationship radius is getting bigger and bigger.â…¢: Land-lost farmers' social life have changed a lot, however, the ligament based blood and terra relationship has not been changed at all and the tendency of choosing in inside is very obvious. At the same time, their special life situation makes their job-relation more important. Between traditional and modern, their contacting members are mainly from family, taking feeling as communicating foundation, and their communication fields are limited with village members before they lose their land while their communication is getting more and more rational, emphasizing on possessing and accumulating social resource.
