区域农地市场发育对农户水土保持行为的影响及其空间差异--基于生态脆弱区江西省兴国县、上饶县、余江县村域农户调查的分析

The paper analyzed the farm households' decision-making progress of soil & water conservation and its two-stage conceptual model.It also discussed the impacts of rural land market on the farm households' behavior of soil & water conservation.Given that,the article established models for the relations between the land market and soil & water conservation,and the models' parameters were estimated with Heckman's two-stage approach by using the farm household questionnaires in Xingguo,Shangrao and Yujiang counties of Jiangxi province.The paper analyzed the impact of rural land market on farm household's behavior of soil & water conservation and its regional difference with the result of model estimation.The results show that the perception of soil & water loss and the tax & fee on the farm land have significant influence upon the soil and water conservation from the view of the population;however,because of different social and economic condition,and soil & water loss,there are differences of the influence among the three sample counties.These differences go as follows in detail: In Xingguo County,the rent-in land area and its cost have remarkable effect on the farm households' soil & water conservation behavior;In Yujiang County,the rentin land area,rent-in cost and rent-out land area remarkably influence the farm households' behavior of soil and water conservation,with the influence of the rent-in land area being greater than Xingguo County;In Shangrao County,only rent-out land area has significant influence on the behaviors of soil & water conservation;In all samples,Xingguo County and Yujiang County samples,the rent-out income has no significant influence on the farm household's decision-making behavior soil and water conservation.Finally,the paper put forward some suggestions on how to bring the soil & water loss under control and use land resource in sustainable ways.
