Study On Peasant's Will During Nanjing Urbanization Process

Since the reform and opening, the development of Nanjing urbanization has undergone four periods: slow rising -obvious slowing-steadfast rising-rapid rising. Now the total level of urbanization is high, but we must notice the main cause is Nanjing is a very big city and the population of villages is few. Nowdays, during the change of making villages into cities,only two rural areas of Gaochun and Lishui are left. Although the level of Nanjing urbanization is high, the development is not balanceable seriously: the statistic in 2001 showed the urbanization rate of city areas is 75.89%,but the rate of rural areas is only 22.99%.According to the fifteenth planning , in 2010 the urbanization level of whole Nanjing will increase to above 70% and the urbanization level of the villages will achieve above 50%. During the planning, the rate of villages should increase by 2% or so annually .In the last few years, some districts have been administratively adjusted in Nanjing , but at the same time we should realize with a clear head that the urbanization in organizational system is not to make people live in cities simply. Thereupon, if we want to develop the urbanization course of Nanjing, it is necessary to take pressing measures to quicken the urbanization course of rural areas.But during the course to quicken the urbanization, the peasants are the important microcosmic groundwork and they are the final principal part to actualize it. Their enthusiasm will decide the speed and quality of the urbanization course directly. Thereupon, only after knowing their true will, we can take some pertinent policies and measures to attract the peasants to move to the cities from the villages willingly and change their traditional village living style and value into city living style and value. Consequently we are able to accelerate the urbanization development.The traditional theories of population transference tell us whether the peasants will move to the cities or not depends on how much " prospective earnings" they can get. The higher the "prospective earning" is, the more possibly the transference happens. Now the difference between the cities and the villages is very obvious. Under the background," prospective earnings" depends on the movers' basic fibre and their confidence and competitive ability in participatingin city employment in a way. Their age, sex, level of education, working experience and issue condition can affect their ability to overcome difficulty in moving, their opportunities to be employed, their earnings and their development in future. So in the principle of interest maximize, in the same area different people will make variant transference decisions.This research is based on the theories of population transference. Its objects are three counties of Nanjing. Through the model of duality, the research focuses on the main factors that affect the peasants to move to cities. Through analysing the relation between household factors and their will to move to cities further, this article can see into the difference of their will under different economic development background. When we see into the main factors of affecting the peasants to move into cities, we choose the peasants in villages as objects. The result indicates: The condition of education, earnings not from agriculture and the number of the children at school in the families are the main factors. When we analyzes the relation between the household factors and their will to move into cities, we choose the peasants in villages and the dwellers who have moved to cities under the impulse of the government as the objects. The result after comparing is: The will of the families under different development background has distinction. In the final analysis, the distinction is determined by the distinction of the native economy and employment opportunities. At last, according to the conclusion, we put forward policies and suggestions that accelerate the urbanization course of Nanjing from the hand of increasing the attraction and the country famili...
