The Process Of Urbanization Residents Of Farmers Research

When we speak of the urbanization, much attention has been paid to expand the city size, improve the urban environment, but the peasant problem in the urbanization process has been neglected consciously or unconsciously. As the urbanization process is accelerating, the process of the peasant's citizenship has been following it, but peasant's citizenship is not a simple problem. What peasants need is not a simple identity authentication, but the rights and interests behind it. Otherwise, peasants will have social danger of marginalization after they become citizens– they are like neither citizens nor peasants. The rights and interests they enjoy will be lost, but the guarantee they are expecting can't be fulfilled. Moreover, on the problem of the peasant's citizenship, more focuses have been paid on the people who have lost their land at present. The author does not deny the positive function of this "passive transformation'', but the author thinks that we should put more energy on "active transformation". This thesis consists of eight chapters and can be divided into four major parts. As follows:In the first part, namely Chapter One, the author gives a reason that he studies the problem of the peasant's citizenship. Because the agricultural industrialization standard is low and labors that can be accepted by agriculture is limited, the push to the surplus labors of agriculture is strengthening, but because "urban shortage" has already shown obviously all over the country, the city's driving force to the rural labors is obviously insufficient. The out-of-balance of "push--draw" leads to the fact that a large number of peasants has poured into cities to look for employment opportunities since the eighties of the 20th century. As the urbanization process is accelerating, the need of the peasant's citizenship is extremely urgent, but the process of the peasant's citizenship is unusually hard because the peasant's citizenship is far from registered permanent residence transformation.The second part includes four chapters. In this part the author explains this problem theoretically. Chapter Two points out the essence of the urbanization is the peasant's citizenship from the connotation of these two concepts. The urbanization is not merely an urban's own development, it also involves the conversion of the system and the adjustment of the industry and the transition of the ideas. The key to the urbanization is the population's urbanization. Though the meaning of the peasant's citizenship is not the same, its essence is similar. The connotation of the peasant's citizenship lies in that it is not a simple transformation of the population structure from rural to urban , more important is the transformation in industrial structure and space distribution structure, that is to say, from traditional work style and life style to modern work style and life style. The peasant's citizenship is the transformation from the silkworm (peasants) to the moth (citizens). No matter how different the urbanization in geography, economics , sociology , demography is , they include identity transformation from peasant to citizen, employment direction from agriculture to non-agriculture, life style from tradition to modernization. Inhabitant and the productive activities are non villagization , so their essence or the core is the peasant's citizenship.In Chapter Three, the author carries on analyzing the problem in the macroscopic and microcosmic ways according to the relevant theory of the domestic and international scholars, and reviews the history of the peasant's citizenship. In fact, the peasants find it is difficult for them to leave their land and farms if they don't leave countryside and don't enter cities. Leaving countryside and entering city, though they can not cut off the native relationship with traditional agriculture and countryside at once, they have entered urban after all, and begin to be affected by urban life style. The impact on them from traditional agriculture an...
