Research On The Restricting Factors And Countermeasures Of The Farmers’ Water Cooperative Organization In Heilongjiang Province

Since 2004, there were 12 "number one" central documents which included eight documents had mentioned farmers’ participatory irrigation management and the importance of farmers’ water cooperative organization in the agricultural production and put forward to develop farmers’ water cooperative organization, support it as the main body of small irrigation and water conservancy project construction and management, actively develop the rural water conservancy engineering professional management. After two outside surveys, farmers’ water cooperation organization began formally established in 2000 in Heilongjiang province, belonging to the non-world bank model, relying on top-down government establishing, lacking of project funding support, also lacking of government support and guidance in operation. For a long time, the development of farmers’ water cooperation organization in Heilongjiang province is generally poor and still in its infancy, had not play a real role, been badly in need of construction. For this reason, this paper will begin with the status quo of farmers’ water cooperation organization development in Heilongjiang province, combining with the characteristics of its establishment and operation, explore the existing problems in the development of it, try to find the factors which restrict the development of the farmers’ water cooperation organization in Heilongjiang province. From the restricting factors,rebuilding or modifying current operation mechanism to promote the development of farmers’ water cooperation organization in Heilongjiang province.In this paper, through reading literature, field visiting, and the combination of empirical analysis and normative analysis method, we study the restriction factor in the development of farmers’ water cooperation organization in Heilongjiang province. First of all, through the analysis of data and sorting define the relevant concepts of farmers’ water cooperation organization, take on the property rights theory, institutional change theory and the cooperative economy theory as the theoretical support of this article. On this basis, through field visiting survey for many times, this paper analyzes the development of farmers’ water cooperation organization in Heilongjiang province present situation and existing problems. and then select five factors to build the factors of restricting farmers’ water cooperation organization in Heilongjiang province development in theoretical assumptions; human capital, physical capital factor, system factor, external factor of the farmer, external relationship, and thus build the restraints on the development of farmers’ water cooperation organization in Heilongjiang province empirical analysis framework. Using factor analysis method to confirm the validity of the theoretical assumptions, win five of the original variables to explain the common factor, among them, the government support factor for the development of farmers’ water cooperation organization is the most important constraints, and the economic base factor, irrigation capacity factor, human capital factor is significant, farmers factor of restriction effect significantly weaker. At the same time win the comprehensive score of invested farmers’ water cooperative organization development, only two countries were good, the others were poor. At last, constructing mechanism to promote the development of farmers’ water cooperation organization, the government should strengthen the investment capital, technology,talent and regulation, also provide the legal guarantee of policy and democratic governance. At the same time, the farmers’ water cooperation organization should structure irrigation water management, rewards and punishment mechanism, project classification responsible for the maintenance mechanism, water users participation mechanism as the internal mechanism of foothold, ultimately the efficient operation of internal and external mechanism of safeguard measures are put forward.
