Research Of Farmers' Behavior Differences During The Transformation Of Water And Land Ownership Rights System On Wasteland Resources

Wasteland resources in Xinjiang is rich, and is becoming a new tool for development, but its cultivation must basic on irrigation conditions, while the severe water shortage in Xinjiang has become the biggest threat that constrains local wasteland resources utilization, agricultural production and management, ecological environmental protection and regional social and economic sustainable development. Clearly, only access to irrigation water and land ownership rights on the wasteland, can secure development, clarification of property rights is quite important. However, in the process of institutional change on property rights, laws and regulations promulgated by the central government was ultimately enforced by local government. Benefited from their special status, local government intented to redesign irrigation water and land ownership rights system on the wasteland in order to creat expediencies for the relevant interest groups. As a result, local government lacked the real incentives to promote the reform of property rights system, the effectiveness of resource allocation was hampered, for example, ordinary households as a vulnerable group, their legitimate rights and interests were neglected and infringed. The growing struggle for resources and the consequent environmental problems have seriously restricted the coordinated development of society, economy and ecology.Based on the above background, the paper choses Awat county in Aksu city of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region as empirical study.makes wasteland resources and the irrigation water on wasteland as research objects, selects political status and economic status as measure indicators of groups who benefit from the rent-seeking behavior in the process of property rights'allocation, establishes Probit model and Tobit model to analysis that, we use Tobit model to further verify that it is just water rights on wasteland that effects the allocation of land property rights on wasteland, the factor is also the key interest space the beneficiary groups struggle for.The paper is divided into five chapters. Chapter one is Introduction section, which sets out the research background, and proposes research questions, as well as clarified the research objectives and content of the article; Chapter two includes two parts, one gives an overview of domestic and foreign scholars'research progress, the other one is research plan which accounts for the theory the study based on and three hypothesizes, as well as the calculate economic model the paper uses; In order to identify wheter the current system is defective or not.chapter three first briefly introduces the basic situation of research data, explain the need to research, and then carries out the water and land property rights system's comparison between wasteland and the contracted land, and briefly describe and analyze institutional arrangements on water and land ownership rights of wasteland resources from the political status and wealth angles; Chapter four takes the political status and wealth as two key variables, establishes the protection of water rights on wasteland probit model and wasteland quantitative distribution tobit model, and then respectively empirically analyze the results of the two models, so that we can more accurately and scientifically verify the groups who benefit from the rent-seeking behavior in the process of property rights'allocation, and find out the key interest space the beneficiary groups struggle for; The last chapter puts forward some relevant recommendations.
