Analysis on the Farmers’ Satisfaction with Reform Experimentation of Rural Land Expropriation System <br/>—An Empirical Analysis for Liuyang

Abstract

Based on the data of farmers’ survey and the reform practice in Liuyang city, which is one of the nation first experimentation regions of batch rural land system reform, this paper establishes the evaluation system of farmers’ satisfaction, and analyzes the farmers’ satisfaction and factors which influence farmers’ satisfaction. The results show farmers’ satisfaction of the reform is low and many segments urgently need to be further strengthened. Significantly, the low compensation standard is an important reason for the poor satisfaction of farmers. The five factors of farmers’ hierarchy differentiation, including occupational diversification, income change, gender, age and education degree, all have a positive impact on farmers’ satisfaction through disparate pathway. The implications are that every experimentation region should establish and improve dynamic update mechanism of land expropriation compensation standard and land expropriation decision-making mechanism, as well as improving farmers’ security land-lost mechanism to achieve the further development of reform.
