As an inevitable trend of human development, urbanization is the only way leading to modernize a country. From the instinct of urbanization, the urbanization is a process of the change of mode of production from agricultural to industrial, and the transformation of lifestyle from the rural areas to urban. Nevertheless, the subject is rustics, and the urbanization is the urbanization of the peasants no matter whether the mode of production changes, or lifestyle changes. By entering the city, involving into the city, or in-place urbanize peasants can changes their mode of production and lifestyle. Under the realistic backgrounds that traditional urbanization has already arouse serious social problems both in urban and rural areas, such as developed areas facing the shortage of peasant-workers, and peasants "upstairs", that is they unwilled lose their land and forced to live in apartments, this paper present an analysis on development of peasants from the prospective of in-place urbanization, based on the conditions of rural economic transition, to explore new path for the development of the Chinese peasants, which is precisely the value and significance of this study.The essence of rural economies transition is the unification of modes of production and lifestyle. Although China's rural economic transformation has its a reality particularity, its essence is no exception. On the basis of the analysis in rural China and its limitations, this thesis reviews the theory and practice of rural economic transformation. It comes to conclusion that the main body of rural economic and social transformation is the peasants, the inner basis is industrialization and urbanization, and small scale farming must to be changed in production methods and lifestyle. From the start pointing of rural economies transition, which is industrialization of rural production and urbanization of rural lifestyle, it firstly precedes analysis on rural industrialization, which is the foundation of urbanization, from its connotation, features and necessity and the experience and lesson of Chinese rural industrialization. Then, it explores the urbanization, which has adverse effect on rural industrialization, from its intention, nature and regular pattern and the experience and lesson of Chinese urbanization. By expounding the relationship between rural industrialization and urbanization to inspect and verify that inherent unity of rural industrialization and urbanization is the rural economies transition. One content that on the review of the experience and lesson of Chinese traditional urbanization, in-place urbanization is the inevitable way and new pattern for Chinese urbanization.Under Chinese realistic background, the in-place urbanization, which is the necessary ways of Chinese rural economic and social transition, of peasant is significant and indispensable. The in-place urbanization is the process that the peasants, who do not migrate to urban areas, achieve the standard of urban areas, by the fundamental transformation of production and lifestyle. In other words, it is the process that the peasants can really own their citizenship through the change of mode of production from agricultural to industrial, and the transformation of lifestyle from the rural areas to urban. The essence of in-place urbanization is the realization of peasant's identity, with the fundamental transformation of production and lifestyle. The in-place urbanization is the course that urban functions gradually establish and improve a process in rural areas, through the improvement of the quality of skills of peasants and increase of rural productivity. The urgency of rustic problems, the limitation of traditional urbanization which cause serious social problems, the severity of problems that are triggered by dualistic structure of urban and rural economy, rural economic transition and the immanent demands of urbanization are all the proof for the signality and necessity of Chinese in-place urbanization. Of course, the Chinese in-place urbanization is not only necessary but also feasible. Its feasibility is mainly reflected:as the main body of urbanization, gradual improvement of peasants'quality of skill is the inner basis; the achievement of rural industrialization is the practical basis; the rapid development of modern transformation and communication is the precondition; the radiation effects of the existing center of town is extrinsic motive; the continuous growth of farmers' income and national emphasis on the problems is the direct motive; agricultural mechanization and industrialization is the inner driving force; implementation of the strategy "constructing new countryside" create a favorable policy environment; successful example of the farmers'practice of in-place urbanization also proved to farmers in-place urbanization not only a fantasy, nor is the inspiring slogan, but the international theory and practice based on the path of development. In China, in-place urbanization of peasants conforms to the internal needs of the urban-rural relations and economic and social development, and accord with the general aspirations of the rural population in the country's, which is total population of more than50percent, its implementation is inevitable. Therefore we can say that the in-place urbanization of peasants is the non-resistant historical trend.In-place urbanization of Chinese peasant is necessary and feasible, but its development requires the accumulation of the necessary conditions. Therefore, adopting various measures to enhance the farmers' quality skills, promoting the development of rural industrialization, boosting rural cooperative economic organizations, gearing up the development of industrial and commercial enterprises and small towns are important to the development of China. Besides, under the existing terms and conditions, development of stock cooperative system and capital of farm are the inherent requirements of development of the urbanization. Of course, these measures should not and can not be divorced from the protecting policies to in-place urbanization. In the implementation and development of in-place urbanization, further innovative industrial policy should be issued, land system should be reformed, the rural social security system should be improved, and the villagers' autonomy system which is suitable for rural development of in-place urbanization should be established and improved.
