Abstract

Farmers' intentions is the intrinsic motivation of the urban–rural harmony development. However, there are few reports examining the factors influencing farmers' intentions. Based on the household questionnaire survey in Pukou district of Nanjing City, the main driving factors to farmers' intentions in metropolitan fringes of China and regional differences therein were quantitatively analysed. The results show that: (i) many factors, especially farmers' education and satisfaction with urban–rural life, influence farmers' intentions to urban–rural harmony. It needs improve the level of farmers' knowledge to stimulate their intentions on urban–rural harmony; and (ii) dominating factors, including land scale‐operation intentions, satisfactions with relocation, and worries about retirement, affect urban–rural harmony in different function zones. It should implement different modes of urban–rural harmony according to differentiations of regional characteristics and farmers' intentions. Las intenciones de los agricultores son la motivación intrínseca del desarrollo de la armonía urbano–rural. Sin embargo, hay pocos informes que examinen los factores que influyen en las intenciones de los agricultores. Tomando como punto de partida la encuesta del cuestionario de hogares en el distrito de Pukou de la ciudad de Nanjing, se analizaron cuantitativamente los principales factores que impulsan las intenciones de los agricultores en las zonas metropolitanas periféricas de China y las diferencias regionales al respecto. Los resultados muestran que: i) muchos factores, especialmente la educación de los agricultores y su satisfacción con la vida urbana y rural, influyen en las intenciones de los agricultores de lograr una armonía urbano–rural. Es necesario mejorar el nivel de conocimiento de los agricultores para estimular sus intenciones sobre la armonía urbano–rural; y (ii) los factores dominantes, incluyendo las intenciones de operación a escala de la tierra, las satisfacciones con la reubicación, y las preocupaciones sobre la jubilación, afectan la armonía urbano‐rural en diferentes zonas funcionales. Se debería implementar diferentes modalidades de armonía urbano‐rural de acuerdo con las diferencias de las características regionales y las intenciones de los agricultores. 農家の意思が、都市と農村の調和による発展の本質的な動機となる。しかし、農家の意思に影響を及ぼす要因を調べた報告はほとんどない。中国の南京市浦口区における質問票を用いた世調査に基づき、中国の大都市周辺における農家の意思に対する推進力となる主な要因と、その地域差を定量的に分析した。結果から以下のことが示される。1)多くの要因、特に農家の教育と都市‐農村生活に対する満足度は、農家が都市と農村の調和に前向きであることに影響する。都市と農村の調和に対する農家の意思を刺激するには、農家の知識レベルを向上させる必要がある。2)土地の規模の運用に関する意思、移転に対する満足度、廃業に対する懸念など、多くの農家が抱える要因が、異なる機能ゾーンにおける都市と農村の調和に影響を及ぼす。地域の特性や農家の意思を識別し、その違いに応じたモデルにより都市と農村の調和を実施すべきである。
