Idle Homestead:Concept Connotation,Formation Mechanism And Management Path

With the increasing demand for human resources in the development of social economy,a large number of labor forces in rural areas move frequently between urban and rural areas,and farmers no longer confine themselves to rural areas,which had caused the idle homestead.And rural "build new did not tear down old" phenomenon which made homestead problem more acute.Therefore,it is of great significance to carry out the research on idle homestead and explore the treatment of idle homestead,to improve the utilization rate of land and improve the living and production environment in rural areas.Based on this,the study defined the concept of idle homestead and took Jingning County of Gansu Province as the study area,collected data through questionnaire survey,analyzed the present situation and characteristics of idle homestead,explored the formation mechanism of idle homestead,and put forward the control path accordingly.And combined with farmers' wishes to analyze the feasibility of different paths.The main conclusions were as follows:(1)Idle homestead refered to the homestead caused by "builds the new and does not tear down the old" without the main body of use.According to the cause of formation,the utilization of buildings on the ground,the main body of use,and so on,will be divided into different types of idle homestead.(2)The idle homestead was seriously of Jingning County,idle rate as high as 20 percent,far higher than the national average level of 10 to 20 percent.The distribution was mainly from the point to the surface,the density of residential land in the south-central towns was larger than that in the west and in the north.(3)From the four dimensions of homestead location,farmers' cognition,economic development and management of homestead system,the formation mechanism of idle homestead was explored respectively.Combined with the current situation of residential land idle in the study area,it was found that the deficiency of system management was the root cause of the idle homestead.On the basis of theoretical analysis,the influencing factors of idle homestead were deduced from four dimensions,and the influence degree of each influencing factor on idle homestead was analyzed by using binary probit regression model.The results were as follows: the distance from the county,the distance from the main road of the village,the number of buildings above the ground,the total number of families,the types of farmers,the per capita income of the family,the transfer of the homestead to the house which had a significant impact.(4)Based on the analysis of the formation mechanism,this paper put forward fourkinds of governance methods,which were paid withdrawal of idle homestead,free withdrawal,circulation of homestead,and renovation of homestead from four dimensions respectively.Multiple Logistic regression model was used to analyze the feasibility of different governance paths from the perspective of farmers.The results showed that:(1)the farmers' willingness to accept paid withdrawal was higher than that of others(37.96%),followed by homestead transfer(28.7%),and the transformation of homestead was 20.37%.Farmers have the lowest willingness to accept unpaid exits,only was 5.56%.(2)Age of farmers,education level,number of idle homestead,type of peasant household,location of homestead,whether or not Understanding the policy of "one household,one house" were the main factor that affected the farmers to make different choices.
