Analysis of Hidden Danger in Farmer's Rights and Interests during Farmland Transfer——An Evaluation of Rights Safeguarding Effect of Farmland Transfer Contract

Taking Shuangliu County,Chengdu City,China as an example,evaluation index system for the rights protection effects of farmland transfer is established contract from three aspects of basic information,transfer agreement and legal safeguards in the contracts.According to the investigation data,weight of evaluation index is determined by both entropy weight and Analytic Hierarchy Process.Comprehensive index method is used to evaluate the rights protection effects of farmland transfer contract in the flat dam,high hill and low hill in Shuangliu County,Chengdu,China.Result shows that the transfer agreement of farmland and the basic information of contract greatly affect the rights protection effects of farmland transfer contract.There are differences in the five indices of the information of the signature of contract,pricing for payment,time limit for farmland transfer,transfer mode of farmland,and use range of farmland transfer.During the farmland transfer in reality,there are three hidden dangers in farmer's land rights and interests,which are the ill-formed transfer behavior,the relatively low income of farmers from farmland transfer,and the quality decline of farmland and difficult full reclamation in transfer period.Based on the evaluation result and investigation data,countermeasures are put forward to improve the rights protection effects of farmland transfer contract.

A Review of Farmland Fragmentation in China

Here, we describe research on farmland fragmentation using the summary and comparison analysis approaches. The definition of farmland fragmentation, main research fields and measurement methods are reviewed. The connotation of farmland fragmentation is clear and has been widely recognized, but methods for determining fragmentation require further work. Farmland fragmentation research in China mainly focuses on the causes and its effect on agricultural production, particularly the negative impacts. The relationship between farmland fragmentation and land consolidation has received increasing attention; the relationship between farmland fragmentation and land transfer less so. Research in this area mainly draws on economic research methods, and geographical spatial analyses are absent. Several suggestions are made, including additional comparative studies across different areas based on different economic and social backgrounds; strengthening research on the relationship between farmland fragmentation and the comprehensive regulation of rural land; and adoption of RS and GIS methods.

人口流动视角下的耕地利用行为及其影响因素研究

Due to rapid socio-economic development and urban-rural integration,the rural population is increasingly moving away from the primary industry,leading to a noticeable transformation of rural farmland use.This paper analyzed the changes in farmland use and the mechanisms in 213 villages of Longxi county,China in 2020,using multiple linear regression models,based on the aforementioned situation.Analysis revealed main findings:(1)Male and young and middle-aged emigration levels are concentrated in areas with higher and lower values,the emigration of talent is more evenly distributed.Overall,male emigration rates were high in all directions and low in the central area,whereas the young and middle-aged emigration rates exhibited a pattern of high loss in the north and south extremes,and low loss in the central area.The emigration of talent demonstrated a pattern of low losses to the east and high losses to the west of the G30 national highway.(2)Primary farmland use behavior was self-cultivation,then abandonment and finally transfer,with over 60%of the total area in 179 villages used for self-cultivation compared to less than 5%in 164 villages allocated for transfer,while less than 30%of the area in 179 villages was abandoned.(3)Significant differences were observed in the factors that influenced various farmland use behaviors,emigration of male,young and middle-aged and talent were the common influencing factors observed among all three types of farmland uses.The loss of males,young and middle-aged had a significant association with reduced self-cultivation while the emigration of talent led to an increase in self-cultivation use.Increased emigration of all three population constituencies significantly increased farmland transfer and abandonment.The conclusions carry significant theoretical and practical implications for enhancing the coordination of rural human-land relationships and improvement of the understanding of the relationship between population migration and farmland use.
