本研究提供了关于中国西南部云南省多民族农村社会土地租赁实践的特征、过程和后果的详细证据，这些证据很少被探索过。通过考虑种族维度，它为现有的土地租赁和控制文献做出了贡献。研究结果表明：在选定的汉族景颇族多民族农村社会中，民族间的土地租赁是一个非常普遍且值得注意的特征。汉族家庭从邻近的景颇族家庭租用并积累了很大一部分农田和林地。这样做是为了扩大经济作物和用材林，而不是景颇族家庭的活动。民族间的土地租赁主要是由于民族生活方式和其他动态的社会政治原因导致的资源资产差异所导致的发展能力和对农业商品化的态度不同而引发的。因此，景颇族家庭的收入差距不断扩大，这主要是由于农田和林地的减少，同时也发现了积极的民族互动的可能性。这些发现有助于重新思考中国的土地租赁政策，也为土地或其他资源的种族间相互作用共存的任何多民族地区的农村可持续发展提供了有用的见解。
This study presents detailed evidence on the characteristics, processes, and consequences of land rental practices in a multi-ethnic rural society in Yunnan Province, Southwest China, which have rarely been explored. It contributes to the existing literature on land rental and control by considering the dimension of ethnicity. The findings show the following: Interethnic land rental is a very common and noteworthy feature in the selected Han-Jingpo multi-ethnic rural society. Han ethnic households rented and accumulated a large proportion of farmland and forestland from neighbouring Jingpo ethnic households. This was done to expand cash crops and timber forest, as opposed to the activities of Jingpo ethnic households. Interethnic land rental was mainly triggered by different development capabilities and attitudes towards agricultural commercialization supported by differences in resource assets due to ethnic living patterns and other dynamic socio-political reasons. Consequently, Jingpo ethnic households are experiencing an increasing income gap due largely to declines in farmland and forestland, while possibilities for positive interethnic interactions were found. These findings are relevant for rethinking land rental policies in China and also provide useful insights for rural sustainability in any multi-ethnic area where interethnic interactions of land or other resources coexist.
