Empirical Analysis Of The Farmers' Willingness To Participate In The Program Of Plus And Minus Hook Between Urban And Rural Construction Land

With urbanization and industrialization speeding up, the city population increased resulting in urban construction land expanding. However, as a result of the restriction of rurban-rural dual structure (household registration, land ownership, etc.), some rural population (or known as the "amphibious population") have settled in the city, but they still keep rural residencies, which led idle rural residencies and seriously waste land resource. The potential of rural residencies consolidation is great. What's more, the unreasonable structure of urban and rural construction land aggravated the human land conflict and land resource scarcity. So the country puts forward the policy of plus and minus hook between urban and rural construction land in 2004. The policy means to activate the stock rural construction land, mitigate the pressure of construction land expanding to agricultural land and expand the urban construction land. Farmers are the critical stakeholders in the program of plus and minus hook between urban and rural construction land. The policy can be implemented only when the rural construction land reclamation is carried out smoothly based on the respecting farmers' willingness and guaranteeing the legal rights.At present, the policy is still in pilot stage, so it's very significant to research how to promote the policy and advance the rural construction land reclamation for pushing forward the urbanization and new countryside construction and realizing the object of total farmland dynamic balance in practice. So the paper took farmer survey to analyze the farmers' willingness to participate in the program of plus and minus hook between urban and rural construction land, explored the implementation mechanism of the policy to promote the urban and rural balancing development and realize the intensive and economic use of land resource.At first, the paper designed the fanner survey, taking the Jiashan and Jinyun County as the representative of developed and undeveloped economy regions to investigate the farmers' willingness. The paper assumes the farmers' willingness include relocation and compensation. And the relocation willingness is analyzed under two policy scenarios:①some relocation subsidy;②some reconstruction capital and life assurance. The compensation willingness is analyzed under housing compensation and monetary compensation, which are denoted as expectation of housing area and relocation subsidy amount.Then the paper used the econometric model to analyze the relative factors of the farmers' willingness in order to reveal the internal mechanism based on the survey results. The analysis includes three parts. First, the relocation willingness is analyzed under two scenarios with Multinomial Logit Model. As the results showed, the motive factors include house construction plan. family annual income, occupation and land management modes. The resistance factors are present housing area and house construction cost. What' more, the fanners in economy undeveloped areas represented by Jinyun are more active in relocation than those in developed areas represented by Jiashan. Second, the influencing factors of the housing area expectation are analyzed with Multiple Regression Model. The results show that the significant factors include the time of the present housing, the housing cost and housing area amount in Jiashan, while the factors are the gender of the respondents, the family annual income and house construction plan. Third, the influencing factors of the relocation subsidy amount expectation are analyzed with Ordinal Logit Model. The results are that the expectation varies little, only the housing construction cost is influencing under 1% significance level in Jiashan. While the expectation is influenced by family size, annual income and contracted field area significantly in Jinyun.At last, the conclusions are that the urbanization willingness is higher in economy developed region, and monetary subsidy is more effective than other policies. The motive factors of relocation are family annual income and house construction plan, and the resistance factors are present housing condition. Most importantly, the willingness of housing subsidy and monetary compensation is different in different regions. And the measures to activate the farmers' participation willingness are put forward accordingly.
