Abstract

Collective homestead ownership is rooted in the important economic system of collective ownership, which is an important manifestation of public ownership of land in our country. In the process of the "three rights separation" reform of the homestead, the pilot areas are actively exploring the exercise mode of the collective ownership of the homestead. Farmers’ willingness to cooperate will directly affect the implementation of policies and the exercise of rights. In order to ensure the realization of the reform goal of "three rights separation", it is necessary to study farmers’ willingness to cooperate and its influencing factors and put forward practical and effective suggestions for the formulation of relevant policies. Therefore, this study takes Pidu District of Chengdu, a pilot area of homestead system reform, as the research area to analyze farmers’ willingness to cooperate with the exercise of collective ownership of homestead. Based on the theory of perceived value and equity, and using the SEM structural equation model, this paper analyzes the influence mechanism of farmers’ perception of interests and equity on their willingness to cooperate in the exercise of collective ownership of homestead. In addition, it provides scientific basis for the government to encourage farmers to cooperate with the exercise of collective ownership of homestead. The research draws the following conclusions: (1) Farmers with collective ownership of homestead have good willingness to cooperate on the whole, but there is room for further improvement. (2) Both perceived benefit and perceived justice have significant positive effects on farmers’ willingness to cooperate with the exercise of collective homestead ownership, and perceived benefit plays a partial mediating role in the influence of perceived justice on the willingness to cooperate. (3) Farmers’ perception of justice has a positive impact on their organizational trust, but because farmers’ organizational trust is mainly based on the interpersonal and human relationship between farmers and village collective cadres, it has no significant impact on their willingness to cooperate with the exercise of collective homestead ownership. Based on the conclusions, the research puts forward three policy recommendations: (1) Fully respect the will of farmers and exercise the collective ownership of homestead prudently and steadily. (2) Establish a sound benefit sharing mechanism to improve farmers’ perception of benefits in the exercise of collective ownership of homestead. (3) Guarantee the open and fair exercise of rights and improve farmers’ perception of equity in the exercise of collective ownership of homestead.
