- Abstract:
-
In order to reveal the behavior mechanism of seasonal abandonment of cultivated land in Guanzhong Plain, based on the 342 data obtained by field survey, and using the theory of planned behavior and structural equation model, we explored the influence of farmers ‘behavior attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control on farmers' behavior abandonment of cultivated land. The results show that:(1)farmers' behavior attitude and subjective norms indirectly affect the behavior of abandonment of cultivated land, and the perceived behavioral control has an impact from both direct and indirect aspects;(2)among the behavioral characteristic factors, the direct effect of perceived behavioral control on the behavior of abandonment of cultivated land is the greatest, and the lack of farmland water conservancy facilities and the shortage of labor supply are the key factors that cause the abandonment of cultivated land;(3)in behavior attitude, farmers are not only faced with the low efficiency of grain cultivation, but also affected by the traditional concept of food self-sufficiency, the combined effect of economic rationality and traditional culture has contributed to the attitude of seasonal shortage of cultivated land of farmers;(4)in subjective norms, the effect of individual norms is the greatest, and personal perception and moral restraint can be strengthened in order to curb the seasonal abandonment of cultivated land. It can be concluded that farmers mainly judge whether to abandon farmland according to economic interests, personal perception and inadequate water conservancy facilities. To alleviate the plight of seasonal farmland abandonment, favorable farming conditions should be created for farmers.
