Study On Farmers’ Preference For Compensation For Withdrawal Of Homestead

Under the background of urban-rural integration,urban construction land is in short supply,which is difficult to meet the needs of regional development,while rural construction land is idle,which causes a waste of land resources.In order to solve the contradiction between land supply and demand,it is imperative to guide farmers to voluntarily withdraw from the homestead.In 2014,the country carried out the first round of land system reform,made a comprehensive deployment of the homestead system reform,and proposed that the right to use the homestead should be moderately released through the " separation of three powers" of the homestead.In 2020,China carried out a new round of land reform,and the paid withdrawal of homestead was the key exploration of this reform,but the specific ways of policy practice have not yet formed a unified understanding.In the process of policy reform in 33 pilot areas,due to the low compensation standard and single compensation method for homestead withdrawal,farmers are not willing to participate in homestead withdrawal,and their response to homestead policy reform is low.Based on this,this paper studies farmers’preference for homestead exit compensation scheme and the influence of cash compensation,housing compensation and pension on farmers’ willingness to participate,in an attempt to provide reference for local governments to formulate homestead exit compensation scheme.Taking Deqing County,Huzhou City,Zhejiang Province,and Liuyang City,Hunan Province as examples,this paper adopts the method of selective experiment,draws up the compensation scheme consisting of three types:cash compensation,housing compensation and pension,and conducts in-depth interviews with relevant local government departments in the form of field research,issues questionnaires to farmers in the two regions,conducts surveys on farmers’ willingness to quit the homestead,sorts out the collected questionnaires,and uses mixed logit model to make regression analysis on the survey data,thus obtaining farmers’ preferences for the compensation scheme for quitting the homestead in the two regions.The results show that,on the whole,the compensation scheme with high cash compensation can bring greater utility to farmers,and farmers’ preference for cash compensation is quite different;Whether to provide housing in compensation is directly proportional to farmers’ willingness to withdraw from the homestead,and farmers are more willing to choose the compensation scheme of providing housing;Providing pensions in the compensation scheme can significantly increase the utility of farmers and enhance their willingness to participate in the withdrawal of homesteads;From the grouping point of view,farmers in Deqing county are more willing to give up housing compensation and get high cash compensation,while farmers in Liuyang city tend to provide housing compensation schemes;Farmers in Deqing and Liuyang have the same preference for pension,and the pension provided by compensation scheme can bring greater utility to farmers,thus significantly improving their willingness to participate in the withdrawal of homestead.
