自20世纪70年代末实施经济改革开放政策以来，中国城市出现了显著的增长和扩张，导致大量农田被用于城市建设。考虑到保护农田和为城市发展提供选择的需要，中央政府于2005年提出了环城政策。在该计划下，农民通过将原来的宅基地整合为农田，重新安置到集中的社区，并允许转让用于城市建设的土地配额。连环线政策的实施使农村农业和生活方式发生了结构调整，但从农民视角对连环线政策的研究还很有限。本文调查了农民对城乡结合部政策的满意度，并对影响因素进行了探讨。以湖北省鄂州为例，对集中社区的农民进行了面对面访谈，以了解他们对环线政策的满意度。采用结构方程模型（SEM）对访谈数据进行编码和分析，以确定影响农民满意度的因素。结果表明，农民的参与意愿、对衔接政策的了解程度、安置前的生活条件和安置补偿对政策实施满意度有显著影响。我们建议，农民和地方政府之间需要进行有意义的磋商，并改善沟通，以提高政策结果的社会可接受性。为尽量减少移民安置对社会的影响，在项目实施中应优先考虑城市化村庄，并由地方政府提供长期支持计划，帮助农民转变生活方式。
Since the launch of economic reform and openness policy in the late 1970s, Chinese cities have witnessed significant growth and sprawl, resulting in a large amount of farmland converted for urban construction. Given the need to both protect farmland and provide options for urban development, the central government proposed the Link Policy in 2005. Under this scheme, farmers are relocated into centralised communities by consolidating their original homestead into farmland, and enabling the transfer of land quotas for urban construction. The implementation of the Link Policy has restructured rural farming and lifestyles but studies on the Link Policy from a farmer's perspective are limited. This paper investigates farmers' satisfaction with the Link Policy and explores the underlying factors. Using Ezhou in Hubei Province as a case study, face-to-face interviews were undertaken with farmers in centralised communities to understand their satisfaction with the Link Policy. Interview data were coded and analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to identify the factors affecting farmers' satisfaction. The results show that farmer's willingness to participate, knowledge of the Link Policy, living conditions before resettlement, and the compensation for resettlement had significant influence on satisfaction with policy implementation. We suggest that meaningful consultation and improved communications between farmers and local governments are needed to enhance the social acceptability of policy outcomes. To minimize the social impacts of resettlement, urbanised villages would be prioritised in project implementation and a long-term supporting scheme should be offered by local government to assist farmers in their lifestyle transition.
