农户的景观认知能力对农业可持续发展的影响

为了探明农户对农业景观的感知水平是否会对将来农业的可持续发展产生影响,通过问卷调查于2012年4—5月在河南省巩义市开展了相关调查研究。研究结果显示:受访农户普遍能够认识到农业景观的经济和生产功能及其服务,但对农业景观的其他功能及相关服务并没有明显认知;受多重因素的影响,有42%的受访农户明确表示不愿意改变他们当前的发展状态;约有25%的受访农户表示,政府提供经济补偿是他们愿意参与退耕还林生态工程的主要原因,这也充分说明了在经济利益的驱动下农户有景观改造和改变农业发展模式的意愿。今后应进一步深入探讨农业景观管理、农户发展意愿与政府决策之间的相互关系,为缓和局地人地关系矛盾并促进未来农业的可持续发展奠定重要的研究基础。

Farmers’Cognition on Agricultural Landscape Affecting Sustainable Development of Agriculture

In order to explore whether local farmers’cognitions have effects on the future sustainable development of agriculture, a questionnaire survey was carried out from April to May in 2012 in Gongyi, Henan Province. The results showed that most of the interviewed local farmers could recognize the economic and productive functions and services of agricultural landscape. But there was no obvious evidence indicating that those interviewed local farmers had high cognitions on other functions and services of agricultural landscape, such as ecological, cultural and regulatory functions. 42%interviewees affirmatively expressed their inclination for current situations, 25% interviewees would like to take part in the“Grain for Green Project”instead of growing crops because of the economic compensations offered by the government. This indicated that economic interest was the main driving force for farmers to do some changes on agricultural landscape. Therefore, more deeply studies on the relationships among agricultural landscape management, farmers’ developmental intension and government’s decision needed to be conducted in the future.
