The Study Of Peasant Households’ Participation Behavior And Influencing Factors In Linkage Between Urban-Land Taking And Rural-Land Giving Project

With the implementation of Linkage Between Urban-land Taking and Rural-land Giving project(LUTRG), it conducive to the rational flow of urban and rural construction land. It is an innovation of the land use system and can relieve the pressure of city construction land expansion. As the implementation of LUTRG project less than ten years, LUTRG project appear low participation degree, farmers rights and interests is damaged, conflict occurs frequently, policy anticipated effect is not obvious and so on. Let the peasant households participate in the projects effectively, help peasant households more fully understand the LUTRG policies, it conducive to the peasant households supervise the government behavior, protect the peasant households’ basic rights more effectively, improve the efficiency of land use, sustainable utilization of land resources. Therefore, it has the positive significance to research the peasant households’ participation willingness, their participation degree and influencing factors in LUTRG project.The paper takes three areas in Echeng district, Ezhou city, Hubei province. First, analyzed the peasant households’ participation behavior in LUTRG by descriptive analysis; then Logistic Regression Model to take the empirical analysis of factors influencing peasant households’ participation behavior in LUTRG. Then we get the conclusion:(1)We should strengthen the cognition of peasant households in LUTRG policy and information openness. The degree of peasant households’ satisfaction with the LUTRG is not well. About 71.67% peasant households know little about LUTRG policy. More than half of peasant households know the TUTRG though the village cadres and announcement, also many peasant households know know LUTRG when the project put into effect. Only 33.33% peasant households consider the information is openness. In policy advocacy, 45.88% peasant households think the LUTRG policy advocacy is not in place. 85% peasant households recognize LUTRG. It is means that peasant households don’t know LUTRG policy deeply. The window away of seeing and learning about LUTRG policy is limited, It should be more transparency.(2)Many peasant households are satisfied with LUTRG project. In the research area, 25% peasant households think the degree of satisfaction commonly, over half of peasant households are satisfied with LUTRG project. 13.33% peasant households have great satisfaction with LUTRG.(3)The peasant households’ desire to participate in the LUTRG is very high. In the research area, there are 120 peasant households. For about 78.33% peasant households want to participate in LUTRG, but still 21.67% do not.(4)It is unsatisfied that the peasant households’ participation degree in LUTRG no more than fifty percent. The average participation degree is only 0.45. The peasant households’ participation degree from ”very low” to “relative high” or “very high” respectively are 19.17%,27.50%,25.83%,27.50%. In every stage of LUTRG project, the participation degree in the initial decision stage of LUTRG is 0.64, the participation degree in the design stage of LUTRG is 0.5, the participation degree in the construction stage of LUTRG is 0.37, the participation degree in the management stage of LUTRG is 0.62. The participation degree in the construction stage is at level of “relative low”.(5)In every stage of LUTRG project, the request for case and adopt is “relative bad”. In the research area, only 56.67% peasant households’ seek for opinions; in the design stage of LUTRG, 63.33% peasant households’ give their advice and opinions, only 35% peasant households’ opinions accepted; in the construction stage of LUTRG only 35.83% peasant households supervise the construction, only 26.67% peasant households’ opinions accepted; in the management stage of LUTRG, about half of peasant households do not take part in the state.(6)From the descriptive analysis, we can know that many factors may influence the peasant households’ participation enthusiasm in LUTRG. According to the qualitative analysis, the profession of household’s head, the education of household’s head, the labor of a family, households’ cultivated area, arable land crushing degree, price satisfaction of agricultural products is uncertain to peasant households’ participating willingness in LUTRG; the profession of household’s head, the education of household’s head, the labor of a family, households’ cultivated area, arable land crushing degree, the proportion of agricultural income, price satisfaction of agricultural products is uncertain to peasant households’ participation degree in LUTRG. The community economy development level, community cadres’ attitude to the LUTRG, increase sources of income in the surrounding area, right adjustment of LUTRG, the impact of construction subsidy in LUTRG is positive. The impact of the age of household’s head and the proportion of agricultural income is negative on households’ participating willingness. The age of household’s head has the negative impact on household’s participation degree.(7)According to the significant level, factors that affect households’ participating willingness are listed from high to low:Increase sources of income in the surrounding area, the degree of farmers’ satisfaction with the LUTRG, the education of household’s head, the area of each cultivated field, the change of homestead’s areas. The degree of farmers’ satisfaction with the LUTRG, increase sources of income in the surrounding area, the education of household’s head, the change of homesteads’ areas have the positive impact on households’ participating willingness, while the impact of the area of each cultivated field is negative. According to the significant level, factors that affect households’ participation degree are listed from high to low:whether to set up quality monitoring group, the proportion of agricultural income, whether to set up land ownership adjustment team, right adjustment of LUTRG, the definition of the power and responsibility of LUTRG, community economy development level, community cadres’ attitude to the LUTRG. The impact on proportion of agricultural income and community economy development level is negative in LUTRG, while other factors’ impact is positive.In order to improve the enthusiasm of peasant households to participate in LUTRG project, the specific methods are as follows:(1)Increase the propaganda and improve the peasant households’ recognition about LUTRG policy;(2)Increase the participation in the construction stage of LUTRG and improve peasant households’ satisfaction;(3)Improve facilities in the LUTRG area and promote the rational flow of local labor;(4)Government guidance, reasonable compensation, encourage peasant households participate in LUTRG project and strengthen the construction of legal system;(5)Improve the land circulation market to promote agricultural large-scale operation.
