A Study On The Deterring Factors And Their Paths To Resolution Of Farmers’ Participation In Habitat Improvement

The report of the 20 th CPC National Congress clearly proposed “building a livable,workable and beautiful countryside,” and the Party Central Committee and the State Council deployed a five-year action plan for improving the rural habitat environment from 2021 to 2025.The logic of the state’s deep involvement in transforming farmers’ living world through relevant policy practices fully reflects the essential working principle of “asking the people for what they need and highlighting farmers’ subjectivity.” Farmers are the masters of rural areas,the direct or indirect creators and victims of environmental problems,and the direct beneficiaries of environmental remediation.Rural environmental problems can only be fundamentally solved if farmers participate in it.However,there are still some problems in the current practice of farmers’ participation,such as the widespread phenomenon of “the government does the work while the masses watch”,and the farmers’ mentality of “rural construction is only the government’s business” and the mentality of “having the government underwriting,” and the problem of farmers are passive and inactive in the implementation of rural construction policies.In rural construction,these problems have become deterrents to farmers’ participation in habitat improvement and need to be solved by taking strong measures.This paper focuses on a typical village,H Village,a model village of rural governance in Wuhan,to analyse the factors that hinder farmers’ participation in habitat improvement and explore the ways to resolve them,so as to enhance the breadth,depth and effectiveness of farmers’ participation and achieve the goal of helping rural construction.This paper uses questionnaires and field interviews to collect information,and uses binary logistic regression models to analyse the key indicators of farmers’ participation,and combines the actual situation of farmers’ participation in habitat improvement with relevant interviews to draw the following conclusions: the factors that hinder farmers’ participation in habitat improvement include,on the one hand,farmers’ low level of awareness,obvious individualism,weak sense of responsibility,collective identity,limited ability to participate,and low level of involvement.On the other hand,there are factors at the village and government levels,such as the single channel of village participation,the limited level of government response and the inertia of the various actors,and the lack of policy incentives,resulting in a lack of driving effectiveness.To address these problems,this paper proposes to enhance the effectiveness of farmers’ participation in habitat improvement by raising their awareness,strengthening their sense of responsibility,opening up channels for their participation,creating a good atmosphere for participation and strengthening top-level policy design.
