“…Those farm households have a various source of family income, the dependence on agricultural production is relatively low, if the farmers believe that the WRH compensation can guarantee their future life, they will tend to withdraw. In addition, the CAF farmers almost have no non-agricultural employment ability, even though they have great intention to withdraw from rural homesteads, they should not be encouraged to withdraw, to prevent increasing the unstable of society, which is inconsistent with some existing studies (Liu et al, 2020(Liu et al, , 2021.…”

The rapid pace of urban development and farmer differentiation has led to large-scale migration of farmers to cities, resulting in the abandonment of rural homesteads in China. This study aims to explore the key factors influencing farmers' willingness and choices to withdraw from rural homesteads and find the key factor of different groups of farmer differentiation degree.Data from 479 farmers in Weinan and Shizuishan and multigroup structural equation model were used for analysis. The results showed that labor supply shortages in completely non-agricultural farmer households had the greatest influence on their willingness to withdraw from rural homesteads. Whether a withdrawal compensation could guarantee farmers' future livelihood has the greatest influence on willingness to withdraw from rural homesteads among non-agricultural and agricultural farmer households. The per-capita area of rural homesteads has the greatest influence on willingness to withdraw among completely agricultural farmer households.Regardless of the farmer differentiation degree, whether the withdrawal compensation can guarantee their future livelihood significantly affects farmers' willingness to withdraw from their rural homesteads. The policy implication of the study was that, for different levels of

Due to the difference and complementarity between rural endowments, the potential energy difference was generated among rural units, which created the prerequisite for factor flowing.…”

The networks of factor flows in rural areas are the main support for rural revitalization, which has become one of the research trends in rural geography. Taking a typical industrial town in China as an example, the study explored the operating characteristics of rural factor flow networks and the relations of multi-factor flows based on the social survey method and fine-grained flows data. Results showed that population flows, capital flows and policy flows increased significantly in rural areas. Thereinto, population flows, especially labor flows, mainly ran into the townships and industrial cluster villages, so did capital inflows and outflows, while policy flows ran around the township. The villages with dense population and capital flows formed the "central villages", which had exceeded the township in the two flow networks. Policy flows and capital flows played a guiding role in population flows, so did the policy flows on the capital flows. Meanwhile, the population flows and the capital flows could reinforce each other. In conclusion, a multi-center structure network with the separation of economic center and administrative center had been formed in rural areas. And there was a close interaction between these factor flows. Furthermore, the theoretical model of town-village symbiotic network was constructed.

“…On the other hand, these pilot regions are at different levels of economic development and topographical characteristics, which might be helpful in increasing the representativeness of samples To be specific, Luxian County is one of the 15 national level pilots on rural homestead acquisition and approval, paid use of homesteads, and mortgage loans [7]. Situated in Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan, Pidu District and Qionglai City are exploring rural homesteads exit mechanisms within the context of urban-rural integration, comprehensive land remediation, high-standard farmland conservation, new countryside building, and rural vitalization [56]. Topographically, the sample villages are located in the southern mountain area (Luxian and Qionglai) and Chengdu plain (Pidu), respectively.…”

Village committees, as grassroots spontaneously formed by rural collective members in China’s hierarchy system, play an irreplaceable role in the management of rural public affairs. Based on the filed survey dataset taken from three pilot counties/districts in Sichuan province, we explored the significant role that village committees played in farmers’ withdrawal from rural homesteads (WRH). Our empirical results, according to binary logistic regression (BLR) modelling, indicated that the WRH was significantly affected by the triple roles of village committees, among which information intermediary was the most effective followed by the trust builder and then the coordinated manager. Firstly, village committees’ involvement facilitated the WRH by improving policy transparency and decreasing information cost. Secondly, the depth of village committees’ participation (i.e., being involved in multiple phases) positively affected the WRH given its signification of the participation of farmers. Whereas the breadth of participation (i.e., considering various demands of different participants) negatively affected the process of WRH by reducing the decision-making efficiency. Thirdly, farmers’ trust in institutions played a positive role in the WRH, but their confidence in village cadres had limited impact. We therefore argue that promising village committees should act as “all-round stewards” in the decision-making of rural households, which not only includes the transmit of information between those above and those below, but also needs to actively strive for farmers’ trust by letting their voice heard. Based on our empirical findings, this paper finally proposed some policy suggestions, such as strengthening mutual communication, empowerment of rural grassroots, encouraging farmers’ participation and improving formal institutions.
