Property right adjustment of rural land serving as the core of rural land consolidation plays an important role in the reduction of land fragmentation and man-earth conflicts,in the advancement of the mass production and modernization of agriculture and the improvement of the land utilization efficiency.Therefore,land ministry attaches great importance to the property right adjustment of agricultural land.Farmers are the main body of the property right adjustment in rural land consolidation,participation of farmers in property right adjustment has self-evident significance.However,practical situation is less than satisfactory.On the one hand,in our country rural land consolidation dominated by government is the ?top-down? implementation mode and farmers are mainly passive participants,which cause that farmers‘ participation in property right adjustment in rural land consolidation becomes formalistic.On the other hand,limited by the spotty knowledge level of farmers and their own ?peasant ideology?,it results in farmers short of knowledge about property right adjustment in rural land consolidation.Plus,the situation of rural land ownership is intricate.Therefore,it is difficult to start the work to guide farmers to participate in property right adjustment in rural land consolidation.In this paper,based on the theory of planned behavior,with field investigation in 34 administrative villages of a dozen of villages and towns such as Xianning City,Daye City,Anlu City,Ezhou City,Tianmen City and Shayang County,gains 644 valid questionnaires,there are for the survey to study the actuality of farmers‘ cognition and behaviors as well as correlated problems for property right adjustment in rural land consolidation for our country,construct behavior SEM mechanism model joined by farmers in property right adjustment of rural land and research the impacts of internal and external factors of farmers‘ cognition and others on farmers‘ behaviors.Through analyzing key factors behind farmers‘ behaviors,we will provide thoughts and scientific basis for government that orderly guides farmers to take part in property right adjustment in rural land consolidation in future and promote the smooth settlement of disputes for rural land property right and ?three agricultural? problems.Through the research this paper comes to the following conclusions:(1)The contents about farmers‘ cognition(attitude toward the behavior,subjective norms and perceived behavioral control)for property right adjustment in rural land consolidation are as follows: All three-dimensional mean value of farmers‘ cognition in hilly area is lower than the mean in the plain area,which may be that in hilly area with resource endowment,the economic situation and developmental level of each area are much poorer than the situation in the plain area.The output that farmers invest in farmland is lower than the output in the plain area and it is relatively poor for farmers to concern and understand the farmland,so investigation situation is in conformity with reality.(2)There are a certain differences among influence factors of cognition for farmers in different regions.Farmers in in hilly area sort decision factors of cognition for property right adjustment in rural land consolidation in accordance with the significance level of influence degree and they are economic development level of villages,educational level for every head of household,agricultural infrastructure conditions,cropland quality,whether being a village cadres or not,non-agricultural labor input,the number of people in family,proportion of aging population,proportion of agricultural income,agricultural labor input,degree of land fragmentation as well as distance from town respectively.Farmers in plain area sort decision factors of cognition for property right adjustment in rural land consolidation in line with significance level and they are economic development level of villages,whether being a village cadres or not,distance from town,proportion of agricultural income,degree of land fragmentation,educational level for head of household,cropland quality,non-agricultural labor input,agricultural infrastructure conditions,the number of people in family and total area of contracted land.(3)When farmers‘ cognition(attitude toward the behavior,subjective norms and perceived behavioral control)is good,farmers have a strong willingness to property right adjustment,but their behavior response is much worse;mean of three dimensions,cognition of attitude toward the behavior for farmers,ranks from great to small as follows: ?economic benefit?,?social benefit? and ?ecological benefit?,which demonstrates that farmers generally take an affirmative attitude to the benefits of property right adjustment in rural land consolidation that can increase economic benefit,promote rural harmony and improve the environment,etc;mean of three dimensions,cognition of farmers‘ subjective norms,ranks from great to small as follows: ?external influence relation?,?external claim? and ?external action?,which shows that farmers‘ cognition for subjective norms of property right adjustment in rural land consolidation is influenced by the outside world and there is a certain social pressure;compared with attitude toward the behavior and subjective norms,farmers‘ perceived behavioral control is weaker,and its perceived intensity is general and ?controlling belief? is poor,which indicates that farmers are not optimistic about their ability and confidence widely;government organization‘s supports are poor,which shows that government and relevant organizations have limited support for farmers to participate in property right adjustment in rural land consolidation and are short of professional skill and empirical support that property right adjustment needs in rural land consolidation.The lack of organizational support explain the difference between farmers' cognition and behavior.(4)In land consolidation,action logic of farmers‘ participation in property right adjustment follows ?perception to willingness to behavior‘ route,and farmers‘ participation action will be influenced by their participation willingness,cognition(attitude toward the behavior,subjective norms and perceived behavioral control)and other antecedent factors.Farmers‘ behavior intention plays a completely intermediation role between cognition and behavior response for property right adjustment in rural land consolidation.In property right adjustment in land consolidation,farmers‘ behavior have ?spontaneity‘ and ?causality‘ dual logic,and its ?causality? behavior logic supported by organization plays a dominant role.The complexity of property right adjustment strongly limits the farmers‘ actions,and government organization‘s supports play an extremely important role in farmers‘ participation in the land ownership adjustment.In order to improve the farmers‘ behavior response to property right adjustment in rural land consolidation,the research puts forward the following recommendations: first,strengthening the propaganda of property right adjustment policy in rural land consolidation and improving farmers‘ attitude and cognition to property right adjustment in rural land consolidation;second,perfecting the land contract system,establishing a sound mechanism that farmers participate in the property right adjustment in rural land consolidation and improving farmers‘ cognition of subjective norms for the property right adjustment in rural land consolidation;third,strengthening basic education investment in rural areas,promoting farmers‘ educational level and comprehensive quality and strengthening farmers‘ cognition of perceived behavioral control for the property right adjustment in rural land consolidation;fourth,respecting farmers‘ true will for the property right adjustment of land consolidation,determining farmers‘ dominant position and reasonably carrying out property right adjustment in rural land consolidation on the premise of farmers‘ will;and fifth,government and relevant departments should increase the degree of organizational support,provide training and technical support that property right adjustment work in rural land consolidation needs for farmers,actively share successful experience of other similar areas about property right adjustment,eliminate the perception of farmers on the risk of property right adjustment and external resistance and inspire farmers‘ participative behavior.
