A Study On The Farmers’ Uncooperative Behavior Of Farmland Transfer On The Analytical Framework And Explanations Of The Peasants Rationality

In recent years, with the effects of government policies and related agricultural reforms, the rate of farmland circulation has increased, but still are keeping in a relatively lower level, compared with other developing countries. Therefore,it has been a major issue of China agriculture reforms, recently, that how to speed up the rate of farmland centralized-transfer of scale, optimizing the allocation of land resources that could enhance farmland resources, efficiently, and promote the degree of the modernization of agriculture, highly, realizing the target of intensive farming management on larger scale. Scholars, at home and abroad on farmland transfer in China mostly have focused on the influence factors, such as, the present condition of rural land transfer, farmland transfer-market, institutions and policies on rural land circulation and so on. There are a few of research and findings on farmers transfer behavior, on the micro level, concentrating on the characteristics and reasons of farmers transfer-behavior, in broad strokes.Most of all, there are few on the formation process and mechanism of farmers uncooperative behavior of agricultural land transfer, that would hinder the transfer process, definitely. And this dissertation has constructed a theoretical frame of peasants rationality, consisting of two parts, instrumental rationality and value rationality.(the former one refers on survival rationality and economical rationality, the later one mostly is connected with socialization rationality in the process of farmland transfer)It not has provided the reasons of farmers uncooperative behavior of endogenetic type, because of unwillingness to circulate farmland, but also has revealed the exogenous-type one, lacking of transfer-land recipients and necessary exterior-condition.Reviewing those findings and research on peasants behavior and related theories, this dissertation has made a concrete introduction and analysis of the concepts, types, tendency on peasant rationality, and then revealed the relationship between peasant rationality theories and farmers behavior, firstly. This dissertation also has clarified and proved the relationship of the three parts, explicitly, farmers, uncooperative behavior and peasants rationality. By the way of rural empirical research, the present condition of farmland transfer could be over viewed in the southeast region of Guangxi and the reasons for farmers uncooperative behavior on the process of farmland transfer could be deduced from the typical cases, by investigation, observation, depth interviewing, questionnaire surveyConsidering the instrumental and value rationality, the dissertation has not provided suggestions to meet survival, economical, socialization needs of peasants, but also to improve the agricultural environment and attract agriculture organizations of farmland demand, in order to promote their willingness of farmland transfer and eliminate the obstacles during the land-transfer process and speed up the land-transfer rate, reaching on the target of the agricultural management on large scale.
