Farmers' Demand Desire for Farmland Water Conservancy Facilities in the Perspective of Income

摘要

Based on the field survey data, hierarchical model was used to analyze willingness and influencing factors of demand for farmland water conservancy facilities of farmers with income difference. The study shows that village characteristics, irrigation expectation deterioration and institutional environment are the main factors influencing farmers' demand. Seen from the results of the income grouping, geographical features, water fee collection rate, deterioration in expected waiting time for irrigation, deterioration in expected irrigation water price are common factors affecting farmers' demand desire for farmland water conservancy facilities, while influence of other factors differs. Farmers' characteristics and planting willingness have no effect on farmers' demand desire. With the increase of income, influencing factors of farmers' demand at the village level are gradually reduced, while those at household level are increased. Policy recommendations are presented based on the findings.
