Farmland as the basic factors of agricultural production and the main source of the farmers’ lives, is closely related to“Agriculture, Countryside and Fanner”issues. However, the phenomenon of farmland abandonment and the business of small-scale in rural areas is quite common, this is not conducive to the fundamental solution of the "Agriculture, Countryside and Farmer" issues. The transfers of land contract is one of the effective means to improving the utilization of farmland and broaden the ways of farmers’income. Therefore, carrying out the transfer of farmland in rural areas has a very important significance for achieving the optimal allocation of farmland, labor and other factors of production, and improving the economic efficiency of agriculture.Retrospect to the existing research results, for the cultivated land transfer, scholars pay more attention on the developed eastern plain areas, while most of the research with the macroscopic perspective mainly focus on detailed discussion about the background of the transfer of farmland system and its role in agricultural production and socio-economic development. In addition, there is no strict divide during the research process on farmers’willingness and behavior, and the selection of the corresponding impact factors is not comprehensive. Based on the microscopic perspective of the farmers located in the western hilly area of Fuling and Qijiang district of Chongqing city, farmers’willingness and behavior were separately discussed. Establishing a model of decision-making behavior, and using logistic binary regression analysis study the main factors of wishes and behavior of the farmers in cultivated land. Farmers in two areas were analyzed, and make recommendations accordingly on the basis of conclusions.According to the data obtained by the household survey, as well as analysis and discussion on this basis, we have the following conclusions:(1) Cultivated land transfer is more common in the study area, but there are still many problems. From the situation of land transfer, subcontracting became the main way for the transfer of farmland. Farmers are more willing to transfer with neighbor or acquaintance, and showed a transfer time of uncertainty. During the transfer process, the circulation acts of farmers are mostly private and only have a verbal agreement, so there is no effective legal protection for the entire circulation. That Making the area of cultivated land transfer exist problems such as farmland into a piece of difficult circulation, circulation objects of single, the flow of the market needs to be improved, farmer awareness of the law is weak and the role of government is not obvious.(2) In the two districts study, most farmers are willing to transfer cultivated land, but the farmers of the two regions show a different circulation will. In Fuling District, farmers’will to transfer turns out to be strong, however, in Qijiang District, farmers mainly maintain the roll-out will and are unwilling to transfer the land. By regression analyzing, besides the family size, the furthest distance of the land and the degree of dependence on arable land, farmers’will in Fuling District is also influenced by the annual household per capita income and their total contracted land, while in Qijiang District, farmers’will is subject to non-farming household income and the degree of perfection of irrigation and water conservancy facilities.(3) As an intermediate variable, the farmers’transfer will is mainly varied according to farmers’own factors, but the realization is strongly influenced by the external environment. Most of farmers living on agriculture are more willing to take in arable land for large-scale production, but due to the constraints of the surrounding arable land supply and the transmission of information, the success of transferring may not be able to achieve; the same circumstances, some farmers living on non-farm production, transferring arable land to else ultimately cannot be realized due to lack of demand and other factors. In addition, some farmers who do not want to transfer, under the influence of the Government, still take the circulation. These have shown the complexity of the influencing factors in the cultivated land transferring process.(4) Fanners’transfer behavior is the result of many factors. The differences of farmers’transfer behavior between the Fuling and Qijiang District are discussed in this issue, and the results show that the farmers in two areas are affected by the same factors in the land transfer process. The dependence of farmers on farmland, government behavior and the degree of perfection of the flow of the market showed a very significant impact, and relevant policies and the idle situation of surrounding farmland is not prominent.
