Abstract/Summary:
Urban and rural integration requires free flow of resources and production means between urban and rural area to form the relationship of "depending on each other, complementing advantages, urban area supporting rural area, rural area promoting urban area as well as joint development". Cultivated farmland is a kind of primary resources means that farmers own and its free flow is crucial to the development of urban and rural integration. Peasant householders are the direct subjects of production of cultivated farmland, whose behavior plays fairly significant role in decision making of cultivated land transference. Yet, householders'transferring out the cultivated land is the result of various factors. Therefore, examining and studying householders' transferring out cultivated land and the influencing factors and making related policies, which has important theoretical and practical significance.Using land rent theory, land property rights theory, economies of scale theory, the land market theory analysis the basic principles of cultivated land transfer, and then put forward hypothesis on the basis of defining the relevant concepts and elaborating research assumptions. Later, we analyze the process of land transference, use empirical data to test the hypotheses, and propose relevant policies and recommendations about the development of land transference market. The main conclusions are as follows:(1)The investigation result showed that 65.87% of householders transferred out the cultivated land, into the low percentage of arable land. Transfer model include lease, contract farmers, and the radius of land transference was short. The constraint of transfer out and into was different.(2) The result showed the main influencing factors were age of householder, total population, whether there are village cadres in the family or not, proportion of non-agricultural incomes, stability of land ownership, land brokenness, transferring price, transaction costs. Seen from the impact of each factor, proportion of non-agricultural incomes, whether there are village cadres in the family or not, stability of land ownership and transaction costs play relatively big role in land transference.(3) proportion of non-agricultural incomes, stability of land ownership, per capita area of cultivated farmland land brokenness, transferring price, educational background of householders and social security have positive correlation with householders'transferring out the cultivated land, and transaction costs has negative impact, which not conducive to the cultivated land. Seen from the impact of each factor, proportion of non-agricultural incomes, stability of land ownership, transferring price and transaction costs play relatively big role in land transference.(4)We should promote the agricultural land reform effectively, and increase the stability of land ownership; develop the tertiary industry actively, increase the proportion of non-agricultural income; establish social security system in rural areas, reduce the social security function of land; strengthen educating and training, improve the overall quality of farmers; improve the land transfer market, determine a reasonable transferring price, reduce transaction costs, thereby promote the land transference effectively and improve the efficiency of land resources.
