Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore what are the influencing factors on resettled farmer’s satisfaction and occupancy under the policy of the balance between urban construction land increasing and rural construction land decreasing in Xinjin County, Chengdu City. Questionnaires, statistical analysis and logistic regressions were employed. The results indicate that the higher educated farmers will be more satisfied with the relocation areas. An increase in the number of public facilities and the associated maintenance costs will decrease the resettled farmer’s satisfaction. Farmers who have moved to new communities are more satisfied with infrastructure, supporting facilities and property management, especially the living environment. The main tasks completed by farmers are the tillage land and to do work for their new community. The positive factors that contribute to the famer’s satisfaction, include land-rights guarantees, compensation for land consolidation, sewage treatment and the living environment. In contrast, public facilities, commercial service networks and resettled area’s maintenance are negative factors for farmer’s satisfaction. Meanwhile, the key factors to promoting harmony between urban and rural construction are to establish relevant laws and regulations, reasonable operation and management mechanisms, farmer-rights protection mechanisms, and to protect famer household income, as well as to improve agricultural production and farmer’s non-agricultural employment opportunity.
Highlights
China has experienced a rapid and far-reaching transition in the past three decades with a mass rural immigration to urban areas [1]
Quantitative analysis is taken in the logistic regression and the definitions of variables in this model are stated as below (Table 2)
Variables are introduced into the logistic regression model according to their definitions to test statistical significance of each variable
Summary
China has experienced a rapid and far-reaching transition in the past three decades with a mass rural immigration to urban areas [1]. The government plans to expropriate rural construction land for urban construction, without changing the quantity or quality of agricultural land areas in the project, so that land can be used more effectively through a sustainable arrangement [6]. As one of the first provinces that carried out the Connecting Model Project organized by the MLRC [7], Sichuan province has made an active effort to explore how to balance urban and rural development and construct a new socialist countryside. Such exploration has gathered plentiful experience and formed the unique
