Abstract:

The purpose is to analyze the factors affecting the later stage management and protection of permanent prime farmland from the perspective of farmers’ willingness to participate, so as to improve the status quo of the “attaching importance to construction but belittling management” and put forward some suggestions and countermeasures for the later stage management and protection of permanent prime farmland. Based on the data of 485 households’ willingness to manage and protect permanent prime farmland in Xin'an County, Luoyang City, Henan Province, using the binary Logistic model, this study took the willingness of farmers to participate in the management and protection of permanent farmland as a dependent variable. Twenty-four independent variables were selected and analyzed from five aspects: basic individual characteristics, basic family characteristics, cognition of permanent prime farmland, behavior attitude and subjective norm. According to the results, the following are significant factors affecting farmers’ willingness to participate in later stage management and protection of permanent prime farmland: gender; occupation; the number of permanent prime farmland owned by families; the source of household income; the possibility to build kilns, houses and graves, excavate sand, dig stone, mine, collect earth and pile up solid wastes in the permanent prime farmland protection area; the trust level of government work; the satisfaction degree of information disclosure; the satisfaction degree of government feedback; the influence of friends and relatives; the influence of publicity of government policies. Based on the above analysis results, taking the willingness of farmers to participate in the later stage management and protection of permanent prime farmland as the starting point, the paper puts forward countermeasures and suggestions on the management and protection.

Key words: farmer, permanent prime farmland, later management, willingness to participate, the theory of planned behavior, influencing factors, Logistic model
