Study On The Influence Of Social Capital In The Inflow Area On The Residence Intention Of Rural-urban Floating Population

Enhancing the willingness of floating population to reside in cities is a key aspect of deepening the new urbanization centered on people and accelerating the process of agricultural transfer population urbanization.For the rural-urban floating population,entering the new field of the city,the dual unfavorable identities of "farmers" and "outsiders" make them face more pressure in their production and life,suppressing the increase in their willingness to stay.Social capital,as a social resource owned by individuals,can provide various social support for the floating population,enhance their survival ability in cities,and thus have an impact on residence decisions.The willingness of floating population to stay is related to their long-term planning and the economic and social development of the inflow and outflow areas.Therefore,studying the impact of social capital on the willingness of rural-urban floating population to stay is of great practical significance for improving the quality of urbanization in China.Based on the dynamic monitoring data of China’s floating population in 2017,combined with social capital theory and population migration rules,this article first divides the social capital of the inflow areas into three categories: relational social capital,organizational social capital,and institutional social capital.And conduct descriptive statistics on the basic situation of social capital and residence willingness of rural-urban floating population;Secondly,through a binary Logit regression model,we empirically explore the direct impact of social capital on the willingness of rural-urban floating population to reside;Finally,using the mediating variable of urban identity identity identity,the KHB model is used to explore the indirect impact of social capital on the willingness of rural-urban floating population to reside.This study indicates that: firstly,the current rural-urban floating population is short of social capital,and only about 40% of the rural-urban floating population have the will to stay in the city,making the situation of "flowing but not staying" severe.Second,relational social capital,organizational social capital,and institutional social capital have a significant positive impact on rural-urban floating populations willingness to stay.Thirdly,there is heterogeneity in the impact of social capital on residents’ willingness to reside,showing intergenerational and mobility range differences.Fourthly,the sense of urban identity plays a partial mediating role in the process of social capital affecting residence intention.Based on the above findings,in order to improve the situation of rural-urban floating population into the lack of social capital,the formation and accumulation mechanism of the floating population social capital,the following countermeasures and suggestions are proposed.Firstly,create a non discriminatory communication environment and broaden the social network of mobile populations.Secondly,strengthen and promote the construction of social organizations,and increase the absorption of floating population.Third,we should break down the barriers of the registered residence system,improve public services,and improve the institutional guarantee for the floating population.Fourthly,we should focus on giving full play to the subjectivity of the floating population and enhancing their ability to obtain social capital.
