The Agricultural Land System Inherent In The Study System And External System

Land institutions influence farmers' enthusiasm for agricultural production directly and affect the distribution of land output, which is closely linked with farmers' vital interest. Studying the inherent laws of land institutions' change has the important theoretical and practical significance. This paper tries to study the change of farmland institutions from the sides of internal institutions and external institutions and to discuss the motivational mechanism of the institutions change on the basis of predecessors' work.Guizhou is the typical undeveloped district in China. Land has more important significance for farmers. This province's reformation of farmland-use system started early, was implemented strictly and the effects were palpable. Our country's some important farmland policies came from this province's experiment. Meitan and Jinsha of Guizhou province are respectively the national and Guizhou's pilot area for farmland institutions' reformation and the relative achievements of the reformation of these two counties have been accepted by the country's policies and regulations. Meitan and Jinsha's way of institutions experiment was to take the principle of "no redistribution of land for new population" as the core, to redefine the right of the corporate estate, to really establish the basis of farmers' long-time expectation of farmland-use, at the same time to take supporting measures looking for the economic support of new institutions. This paper uses the data collected by questionnairing farmers in Meitan and Jinsha to analyze the internal institutions and external institutions in the change of farmland institutions.The practice of experiment areas tells us: the reformation of land institutions does not only have to have external institutions, but also have to dialogue with the history ,with the tradition and with the farmers, and must take the majority's acceptance as the premise. That means internal institutions are very important which can influence the external institutions. The reformation of external institutions should take the major internal institutions into consideraton and should be compatible with it. At the same time the external institutions can guide, influence and improve the internal institutions to survive.
