Abstract
Based on research into the theory of household assets and the welfare of farmers, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)-entropy weight method and cloud model were used to study the welfare level of land-lost farmers’ households under the different livelihood assets of Taohuayi Village, Taohuasan Village and Taohuawu Village in Taohua Town, Nanchang City. The results show that (1) The comprehensive welfare level of asset-deficient farmers’ households is between the “bad” and “medium” levels and is closer to the “bad” level. The comprehensive welfare level of asset-balanced farmers’ households is between “general” and “good” and is closer to the “good” level. (2) Judging from the various functional activity indicators that affect the welfare of the land-lost farmers, after the asset-deficient farmers’ households lose their land, the welfare level of the family’s financial situation, social security, living environment, mental status, development opportunities, and political participation are generally at low to medium-low levels, and only living conditions are at medium-to-high levels. (3) The welfare level of the living environment of the asset-balanced farmers’ households is at a moderately low level, and the welfare of the remaining functional activities is at a medium to a medium-high level. We then propose corresponding policy recommendations. After losing land, it is necessary to implement a differentiated circulation guarantee and support policies to achieve targeted compensation and support for the land-lost farmers’ households to improve the welfare level of land-lost farmers’ households under different living asset allocation.
Highlights
The results show that the impact of rural-urban land conversion on the welfare of land-lost farmers at various ages is different, and the functional indicators of land-lost farmers at various ages have different directions and degrees of change following rural-urban land conversion
We find that the total value of 212 livelihood assets of the land-lost farmers’ households is located in the interval (0.913–3.125)
This paper only studies the differences in the level of welfare effects of land-lost farmers’ households under different livelihood asset allocations
Summary
China is experiencing urbanization and industrialization at an unprecedented rate [1], which is an inevitable trend and a strong driving force in China’s economic and social development. The conversion of land between different uses in the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors plays a very important role in the socio-economic development of a country or region [2]. As one of the principal means of land-use conversion [3], rural-urban land conversion provides a land resource guarantee for urbanization and the inevitable performance of regional social and economic development in land resource allocation [4]. Rural-urban land conversion means that in the process of expanding urban development scale and increasing urban land demand, urban land demanders use economic or administrative means to transform agricultural land around cities into urban construction land to meet the needs of urban land demanders for land development [5].
