Abstract
The Push and Pull Theory was originally used to study human migration, and has since been enriched and refined. Push and Pull Theory holds that the factors which promot e population transfer mainly include the push factor, pull factor, intermediate obstacle factor and individual factors. Based on the Push and Pull Theory and field investigation, a Logistic regression model is established, and the forces driving rural homesteads into market circulation are l ooked at in this study through quantitative investigations. The study finds that better employment opportunities and higher income, quality infrastructure and educational resources, household registration system reform, and better access to education and skills training for farmers in cities have a positively significant impact on the market based rural homestead circulation, while excessively high urban housing prices, poor levels of rural infrastructure an d social security, age of farmers, location of homestead and the ways farmers want to be compensated have a significantly negative impact. Some policy suggestions are put forward to optimize policies related to homestead transfer in the market from urbanization, rural infrastructure development, house hold registration system reform, risk assessment and compensation mode, etc .
