Abstract

In this paper, fifteen indicators from four dimensions are selected to construct an evaluation system for the happiness of land-lost farmers. The factors affecting the happiness of land-lost farmers are analyzed using the rough DEMATEL method. The results show that land expropriation compensation (F6) and job stability (F7) are the driving factors for improving the happiness of land-lost farmers. The government can improve the social environment policies, such as land acquisition, social security, and employment to influence other factors and improve the level of happiness of land-losing farmers. This study has important guiding significance and reference value for the reform of China’s land expropriation, the protection of land-lost farmers’ rights and interests and the improvement of their happiness, and the maintenance of social harmony and stability.

Highlights

Since the 1980s, with the acceleration of China’s urbanization, land expropriation has released large-scale benefits of land, and made more and more farmers lose their land, and become a special group, land-lost farmers [1]
Land-lost farmers are facing changes in production and lifestyle and difficult to integrate into urban life in the short time due to the huge differences between urban and rural culture. ey might be under pressure from employment, life, spirit, and other aspects because of the imperfection of social security and land expropriation compensation system, and their happiness index has been greatly affected
In order to solve this problem, the rough DEMATEL approach is applied to evaluate the happiness of land-lost farmers in the process of urbanization in China

Summary

Introduction

Since the 1980s, with the acceleration of China’s urbanization, land expropriation has released large-scale benefits of land, and made more and more farmers lose their land, and become a special group, land-lost farmers [1]. According to a report released by the National Academy of Economic Strategy under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, China’s urbanization rate will reach 70% by 2035. Is means that China’s urbanization progress will continue, and the number of land-lost farmers will become larger and larger. The Chinese government is trying to protect the rights and interests of land-lost farmers through economic compensation and other measures [3,4,5,6,7]. Land plays multiple roles, such as means of production, economic sources, and social security. If the problems of land-lost farmers are not handled properly, they may have a negative impact on China’s social development and political stability. erefore, land-lost farmers have been widely concerned by the government and scholars in recent years [8, 9]
