Abstract

The external environment has an important impact on farmers’ willingness to withdraw from rural homesteads. Based on the data from 392 farmers in Wuhan and Suizhou City from July to November 2021, we explored the significant role that the external environment played in farmers’ willingness to withdraw from rural homesteads. The empirical results, according to the binary Logit model, showed that the number of homesteads, location, and economy positively affect farmers’ intention to withdraw from their rural homesteads, and the effect in turn decreases. Famers in a village with no tourism resources are more likely to be willing to withdraw from their homesteads. Based on the empirical findings, this paper finally proposed that local governments should adopt a targeted policy to encourage farmers to orderly withdraw from their rural homesteads.
