Analysis of factors affecting small-scale farmland water conservancy construction based on the perspective of farmers’ subdivision

Abstract This paper uses the survey data of Baoying and Shuyang counties in Jiangsu Province to analyze the investment intentions and behavioral orientations of different types of farmers on the construction of small-scale farmland water conservancy facilities, and constructs a Logit measurement model to explain the factors affecting the farmers’ willingness to invest. The results show that: Farmers’ willingness to invest is positively correlated with whether they are village cadres or not, household agricultural income, block arable land area, demand for farmland water conservancy facilities, evaluation of village cadres, comparison with surrounding village water conservancy facilities, and whether there are government involvement projects. It is also negatively related to the age of the farmer, the proportion of the working population, and whether or not he/she participated in the investment.
