Abstract

The reform of homesteads has a multidimensional impact on the welfare of farmers in different locations. Based on Sen's welfare function theory, this study constructs a welfare evaluation index system for farmers under the background of homestead reform from five aspects: living condition, economic condition, social security, community living, and psychology. Using the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to compare the changes in the welfare level of farmers in three different locations of villages before and after the reform of homestead, and using a multiple linear regression model to test the influencing factors that cause differential changes in farmers' welfare. The research results reveal the following: (1) The overall farmers' welfare level has greatly improved after the reform, with the total fuzzy index increasing from 0.491 to 0.712, an increase of 45%. The highest increase was in the social security, which increased by 51.8% after the reform. The overall farmers' welfare level has increased in the following order: remote villages, urban villages, and suburban villages. (2) In suburban villages, the improvement of living condition, economic situation, and social security welfare is the most observed, while in suburban villages is psychology. (3) Family characteristics have an overall negative impact on welfare. In urban villages, the main factors are change in housing area, rental income, and whether own urban housing; while suburban villages are housing area and rental income.

探索宅基地制度改革背景下不同村庄农民福利的变化及影响因素

宅基地改革对各地农民的福利产生了多维度的影响。本研究以森的福利函数理论为基础，从生活状况、经济状况、社会保障、社区生活和心理五个方面构建了宅基地改革背景下的农民福利评价指标体系。运用模糊综合评价法比较宅基地改革前后三个不同地点村庄农民福利水平的变化，并运用多元线性回归模型检验导致农民福利差异化变化的影响因素。研究结果表明(1）改革后农民的整体福利水平有了很大提高，总模糊指数从 0.491 提高到 0.712，提高了 45%。增幅最大的是社会保障，改革后增加了 51.8%。农民整体福利水平的提高依次为：偏远村、城中村、城郊村。(2) 在城郊村，生活条件、经济状况和社会保障福利的改善最为明显，而在郊区村则是心理上的改善。(3) 家庭特征对福利的总体影响是负面的。在城中村，主要因素是住房面积变化、租金收入和是否拥有城市住房；而在城郊村，主要因素是住房面积和租金收入。

期刊介绍： Habitat International is dedicated to the study of urban and rural human settlements: their planning, design, production and management. Its main focus is on urbanisation in its broadest sense in the developing world. However, increasingly the interrelationships and linkages between cities and towns in the developing and developed worlds are becoming apparent and solutions to the problems that result are urgently required. The economic, social, technological and political systems of the world are intertwined and changes in one region almost always affect other regions.
