Abstract

This study proposes the use of push‐pull‐mooring model to investigate the main factors behind farmers' willingness to withdraw from rural homesteads with unique survey datasets taken from a pilot area in China. Our empirical results, which were derived from partial least squares structural equation modelling, mostly support our theoretical hypotheses, suggesting that policy cognition is a meaningful moderating factor that reflects farmers' individual attitudes, environmental influences, and social norms and plays a significant role in farmers' decision‐making processes. Our findings have strong policy implications for developing a “strategy of rural vitalization” and reforming the current rural homesteads system in China. Este estudio propone el uso de un modelo de empuje‐atracción‐enganche para investigar los principales factores que explican la voluntad de los agricultores de abandonar las granjas rurales, a partir de conjuntos de datos de encuestas únicas realizadas en un área piloto en China. Los resultados empíricos, derivados de un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales de mínimos cuadrados parciales, apoyan en su mayoría las hipótesis teóricas del artículo, lo que sugiere que la cognición política es un factor moderador significativo que refleja las actitudes individuales de los agricultores, las influencias ambientales y las normas sociales, y que desempeña un papel significativo en los procesos de decisión de los agricultores. Los hallazgos tienen fuertes implicaciones políticas para el desarrollo de una “estrategia de revitalización rural” y la reforma del sistema actual de granjas rurales en China. 本稿では、中国のパイロット調査対象地域から得られた独自の調査データセットとPPM (Push‐Pull‐Mooring)モデルを使用して、農村部の集落から退去したいという農家の意向の背景にある主な要因を調べる。この実証研究の結果は、PLS‐SEM (partial least squares structural equation modelling:部分最小二乗共分散構造モデル)を用いて導出したものであるが、我々の仮説を概ね支持するもので、政策の認識は、農家の個々の意見、環境の影響、社会規範を反映し、農家の意思決定の過程において重要な役割を果たす、意義ある調整因子であることを示唆している。本研究の知見には、農村部活性化の政策策定と、現代の中国の農村集落システムを刷新するための強力な政策的インプリケーションがある。
