Analysis of Factors Influencing Farmers' Participation in Forest Farmers Cooperatives Based on Empirical Research of Zhejiang Province

Based on field research data of farmers in Zhejiang Province, the authors analyzed factors influencing farmers' participation in forest farmers cooperatives (hereafter referred to as FFCs) by the binary logistic regression model. Results show that understanding of farmers about cooperatives has a great influence on their behavior of participation in FFCs. Besides, educational level of householders and existing member scale of cooperatives also have significant influence on farmers' behavior of participation in cooperatives. Therefore, it is required to strengthen propaganda of cooperatives, deepen their understanding of cooperatives; cultivate new high quality farmers to provide talents for development of cooperatives; establish incentive mechanism to encourage farmers to participate in cooperatives.

Effect Evaluation of Collective Forestry Tenure Reform and Forest Farmers' Willingness to Participate in the Reform: A Case Study of Shaowu, Fujian Province

Since 2003, China has carried out the pilot of collective forest tenure reform (CFTR). Inrecent years, there have been lots of researches about evaluation of the CFTR, which are, however,mostly qualitative research with little focus on the quantitative research. This paper used the AnalyticHierarchy Process (AHP) and expert assignment method to define the comprehensive evaluation indexes and monitoring indexes of the CFTR. In this study, the authors did a quantitative evaluation of the CFTR in Shaowu, Fujian Province, which was scored as 0.844, indicating more significant effect. The authors investigated 100 farmer households there, and the data showed that the average household income has grown by 49.2% in the 6 years after the CFTR implementation, while the forestry incomehas grown by 108.3%, indicating that farmers’ income increased significantly after the CFTR. Factor analysis shows that CFTR has been the key factor to increase farmers’ income.

Analysis on Impact Factors for Forest Management Income of Forest Farmers in China

Based on the investigation in Anji County of Zhejiang Province and Ba'nan District of Chongqing, this paper analyzed the characteristics of forest management behaviors of forest farmers in China and the impact factors for forest management income, and then came up with some policy recommendations to increase the forest management income of forest farmers. It argued that the factors to impact on forest management income of forest farmers in China include the choice of forest products type, the elements in forest production and management, the development of forest products processing sector at regional level, and the government's forest management system. It is suggested that government promote the production of non-wood forest products, guide the forestry sector restructuring, reform the logging management system and forestry public finance and taxation system, regulate forest land transfer and foster forest products processing enterprises to increase the farmers' income forest management.

Analysis of Farmers' Needs for Forestry Information and Technology in Yunnan's Hot Zone: Based on Empirical Survey in Menglian County

Lack of public forestry information and techniques has restricted the development of forestry management and the income increase of rural farmers in hot region of Yunnan province. Therefore it is necessary to provide forestry information and techniques to rural areas so as to compensate for the information gap between urban and rural areas. Based on the survey about farmer demand for information and technique in Menglian County,the paper analyzed the supply methods and demand characteristics of forestry information and techniques. The results showed that the farmers had very strong demands for forestry information and techniques with diversified trend. But the farmers got the information with backward method and single service supply approach,and it lacked effective expression mechanism for their demands.

Study on Farmers' Cognition and Willingness to Plant Trees during Collective Forest Right Reform Based on Data from Plain Areas of Henan Province

On the basis of the survey data from plain areas of Henan Province,farmers' cognition and willingness to plant trees in collective forest right reform are studied. According to statistical analysis and regression equation of binary logistic regress analysis,it is generally believed that different participants have various attitudes to the reform,with regard to if planting trees or more,reform variables have a distinct effect,as well as income variable and loaning or lending variable. At last,some advices are put forward,that is,the government should strengthen collective forest right reform,accelerate matching reform and increase policy and financial support to forestry farmers.

Factor Analysis on Subsidy Preference of Private Forest Owners

Forest farmers are the basic micro-subjects in southern collectively owned forest, and their willingness towards forest management directly influences forestry development. Thus, to provide subsidies to forest farmers is an important means to encourage the farmers' enthusiasm to manage the forest and promote the healthy and sustainable development of private forest. In order to reduce the supply-demand contradictions and improve the implementation effects of the subsidies system, the design of the system should be based on the real needs of forest farmers. On this basis, a questionnaire survey was designed in this paper to study the preferences of forest farmers to different types of subsidies in the southern collectively owned forest and the influencing factors were analysed by the Logistic Model to search for the reasonable design of the system. It was concluded that the forest farmers with different backgrounds show different preference to the subsidies, which, to a certain extent, reflects the development bottlenecks of forestry, and lays a foundation for the design of subsidies system.

非认知能力与山区农户信贷排斥——以浙江省公益林收益权质押贷款为例

信贷排斥是农村金融供需中普遍存在的现象,降低信贷排斥对促进农村金融发展具有重要意义。基于浙江省12个县(市)农户实地调查数据,运用大五人格量表构建非认知能力指标,并采用Probit模型实证检验了非认知能力对农户公益林收益权质押信贷排斥影响及其作用机制。研究结果显示,非认知能力越高,越能降低农户信贷排斥程度,经一系列内生性处理与稳健性检验后该结论仍然成立;进一步研究发现,非认知能力越高,越能降低农户信贷排斥中的自我排斥程度;机制检验发现,农户非认知能力提升通过增加社会资本和增强风险偏好进而降低信贷排斥。研究结论为推动农村金融高质量发展提供了理论和实践指导,同时为实现乡村振兴和山区农户共同富裕提供了政策启示。

生态公益林的保护建设离不开林农的积极参与,本文基于计划行为理论,以广西林农为特定研究对象,采用随机抽样的方法进行,在各县(市、区)随机选取辖区两个乡(镇、街道)作为调查点,运用二元Logistic模型实证分析林农参与生态公益林保护建设意愿的影响因素。结果显示:林农的年龄、生计来源状况、经济社会地位、家庭收入状况、对生态公益林的功能作用和生态补偿状况的认知评价等因素对其参与生态公益林管护有显著影响。基于研究结论,进而提出加大生态公益林保护建设的宣传力度、持续提高林农森林素养、争取提升生态公益林补偿补助标准、提高财政补偿资金的兑付率、拓宽林农增收渠道、增加林农收入来源等建议。

参与竹林国家储备林项目对林农收入的影响研究

关于国家储备林项目的研究一直是乡村振兴研究的热点,但多关注项目本身如何更好实施,少有研究关注其对林农收入的影响,且基本是定性研究,少有定量研究。基于此,利用倾向得分匹配法(PSM),以平村实施的竹林国家储备林项目为例,实证研究了参与竹林国家储备林的林农与未参与的林农收入的差异。

影响农户参与林业合作经济组织因素分析——以福建省为例

采取分组抽样的方法，对福建省主要林区的永安市、将乐县，延平区、建瓯市、松溪县和德化县6个县（市、区）的30个村180户农户的调查结果：30个村共计有正式的林业股份合作经济组织9个，经营的山林占15．4％；非正式林业合作经济组织208个经营的山林占46％；100％的农户自愿参加“三防”专业协会。影响农户是否参与林业合作经济组织的因素可以归结为：其他产业发展对农户收入替代；就业替代水平；农户家庭基本特征和地方林业部门的政策导向。

为什么小规模林农没有选择场内交易——来自浙江的实证研究

集体林权制度主体改革完成之后,小规模林农成为林业生产要素的重要经营主体。为解决林地经营主体细碎化与林业适度规模经营的矛盾,林权交易市场应运而生。对浙江省杭州、临安、温州、龙泉、遂昌、安吉等地400户小规模林农的调研发现,大多数小规模林农选择私下交易,而没有参与林权交易市场的场内交易。经分析发现,场内交易确实降低了交易中的搜寻成本、谈判成本和执行成本,即交易成本并不是影响小规模林农场内交易的主要原因。经进一步计量分析发现,林地流转面积、林农是否知道林权交易中心对小规模林农选择林权交易方式影响显著;而家庭收入、林业收入占比、农户个人特征等其他因素对小规模林农交易方式无显著影响。林农对林权交易市场的认知度不高是未参与场内交易的主要原因。最后,在实证研究的基础上,提出相应的政策启示。

基于林农视角的赣江源公益林生态补偿满意度评价研究

以赣江源区林农作为研究对象,采用入户随机调查了135份有效样本,构建了林农满意度的评价指标体系,采用熵权法和专家赋权法组合方式确定指标体系的权重系数,以模糊数学原理为基础构建林农满意度的综合评价模型。林农对生态公益林的生态效益满意度最高、对公益林区管护人员护林效果满意程度最低,40%的林农对公益林补偿标准不满意。并提出优化公益林生态补偿政策建议,为完善自然保护区及水源地森林生态效益补偿提供参考。

农户造林投资行为影响因素实证研究——以福建省为例

探讨了影响农户造林投资行为因素,对影响农户造林投资行为因素进行实证分析,提出相关政策建议:(1)建立林农造林合作组织;(2)从政策、资金和技术上对林农造林投资给予扶持;(3)创新农村金融制度,扩大林农有效融资渠道等;(4)地方林业管理部门定期对林农进行相关知识的培训,对林农林地资源进行有效管理,加强对林农造林的服务意识;(5)对于林农荒山造林及不属生态保护范围内的林地,提高采伐指标,用市场的手段来有效调节。

农户参与林业专业合作社的影响因素分析——基于浙江省的实证研究

基于浙江省实地调研的农户数据,运用Logistic二元回归模型,对农户入社的影响因素加以分析,结果表明:农户对合作社了解与否对其入社行为影响巨大,对合作社越了解的农户,入社的可能性越大;户主文化程度以及合作社现有的社员规模等因素,也对农户入社行为产生显著影响。因此,一要加大对合作社的宣传,加深农民对合作社的了解;二要培养高素质的新型农民,为合作社发展提供人才支撑;三要建立激励机制,鼓励农户参与合作社。

生态公益林建设对林农收入影响的实证分析——以浙江省长兴县和衢江区为例

生态公益林建设是我国为解决日益严峻的生态问题而采取的重大举措。利用浙江省林农调查的面板数据,以林农各项收入为因变量,通过计量经济模型分析了生态公益林建设对林农收入的影响。研究表明,生态公益林建设对浙江山区林农林业收入存在负面影响,但对林农非农就业收入和总收入的影响不显著。完善生态公益林补偿制度,拓宽非农经营渠道,是实现生态公益林可持续发展的根本途径。

林农经济林经营效率及其影响因素分析——以赣南原中央苏区为例

以赣南原中央苏区13个县(市)200个林农为样本,首先运用DEA方法对经济林经营效率进行测算,结果显示:林农经济林经营综合效率偏低,技术效率不高,规模效率较低,94%的DEA处于无效的样本均呈规模报酬递增趋势,适度扩大规模将会增加效率;然后运用Tobit回归模型实证分析经济林经营效率的关键性影响因素,实证结果表明:经济林年均支出、经营管理、市场销售、是否接受过经济林技术培训对经营效率有正向影响,林地块数对经营效率有负向影响,而性别、年龄、受教育程度、务农人数占家庭人口的比重及是否加入林业合作社对经营效率影响不显著。基于上述分析,提出以下对策建议:引导适度规模经营,提高规模经营效益;加快林权配套改革步伐,提高林地资金投入水平;科学规划重组林地,降低林地细碎程度;转变经营管理观念,提升集约经营水平;实施产供销贸一体,促进营销渠道畅通,对提高赣南苏区林农经济林经营效率具有一定的实际指导价值。
