Research On Community Identity,Village Public Service And Rural Idle Homestead Exit Behavior

With the deepening of reform and opening up and the vigorous development of China’s market economy,as well as the promotion of the new urbanization strategy and the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy,China’s agriculture and rural areas have undergone tremendous changes.A large number of agricultural population has been moving to cities and towns,and the rural population has declined sharply,while the rural construction land has shown a synchronous growth trend with the urban construction land.In the use of rural homestead,the phenomenon of waste,idle and inefficient use is very prominent,especially the idle homestead caused by "multiple houses in one household",the land use efficiency is very low,so it is very important to carry out the reform of the homestead system.In the process of voluntary and paid withdrawal of homestead,farmers are the main body to decide the withdrawal behavior of idle homestead.As the behavioral norms of farmers in specific rural fields,community identity is an important variable affecting the behavioral decision-making logic of farmers.The change of community identity will affect the decision-making logic of farmers’ withdrawal behavior of idle homestead to a certain extent.In addition,the rural public products and services gradually become the foundation of new countryside and fundamental,and peasant household production is closely related to the benefits and the reality of life.The lagging level of village public services will change the community identity of farmers to some extent,and then affect the withdrawal decision of idle homesteads.Therefore,in the context of rapid rural transformation,it is of great practical significance to study and analyze the relationship between community identity,village public services and farmers’ withdrawal behavior of idle homestead in order to improve the utilization rate of homestead,promote the coordinated development of urban and rural areas and promote the implementation of rural revitalization strategy.In this paper,based on the existing research results,combining bounded rationality theory,social identity theory and collective action theory based on the practice of homestead reform in Yushan,Jiangxi Province,548 peasant households and 26 villages were collected from the actual survey data.Firstly,the status quo of land use and the implementation of homestead reform in Yushan were described.Secondly,descriptive statistics were made on the samples,mainly focusing on the withdrawal situation of idle homestead,the status quo of community identity and the level of village public services.Secondly,the Logit model was used to empirically test the influence of community identification on farmers’ withdrawal behavior of idle homestead and its internal mechanism.And the hierarchical generalized linear model of HLM was used to empirically test the regulating mechanism of the influence of community identification of village public services on farmers’ withdrawal behavior of idle homestead.Finally,put forward the reasonable guidance of farmers to quit the idle homestead policy recommendations.The main research conclusions are as follows:(1)community identity is in the status of "identity" on the whole,not in a severe decline but at an average level,but the degree of identity is not strong enough.From the perspective of specific dimensions of community identity,the order of the degree of identity is community belonging,community cohesion and clan concept.(2)community identity of idle land exit behavior has a significant impact on farmers,from the point of different dimensions of community identity,community belonging significant positively promote the idle land farmers exit behaviors,community cohesion is also help farmers out of idle land behavior and idle homestead exit clan concept of peasant household behavior has significant negative effects.Moreover,the comparison shows that community cohesion has the greatest influence on the withdrawal behavior of farmers’ idle homestead.(3)On the one hand,village public services can enhance the positive impact of community belonging on farmers’ withdrawal from idle homestead,on the other hand,it can enhance the positive impact of community cohesion on farmers’ withdrawal from idle homestead.(4)Suggestions such as exploring and innovating rural community management system,actively constructing rural public exchange platform and production mutual assistance activities,rationally guiding the local understanding of ancestral property,and improving village public services are put forward.
