中国的快速城镇化推动了乡村发展转型与空间重构，农村居民对于土地退出、定居的想法正发生着变化。基于2014午在南京市江宁区的问卷及访谈调查，本文探索了发达地区大都市边缘区中农村居民针对宅基地退出和未来定居的意愿。通过运用访谈资料和回归模型，本文发现村庄属性、一些个人主客观因子都影响着农村居民对于土地退出和未桌定居的津策。本文还发现，相当多的农村居民倾向于在邻近小城镇定居，对宅基地退出普遍持负面态度。随着宅基地财产功能的提升、城乡一体化进程推进等方面的变化，关于宅基地流转制度的改革势在必行。

英文摘要：

The rapid urbanization in China has improved the transformation of rural development and the spa- tial restructure of rural areas. The changes of both macro and micro contexts, such as the raising of ＂increas- ing vs. decreasing balance＂ land-use policy, the increase of rural land compensation, rural inhabitants＇educa- tion level, and the rate of non-agricultural employments, as well as the large emergence of the new genera- tion of rural inhabitants, have largely influenced rural inhabitants＇ considerations of both quitting rural hous- ing plot and future settlement. Previous studies have focused on the rural inhabitants＇ intention or behaviour of quitting rural housing land or the features and conditions of rural migrants in urban areas, limited research has associated both rural land and settlement. In order to bridge the gap, based on a survey in a suburb dis- trict in Nanjing in 2014, the paper tries to explore rural inhabitants＇ intention of both quitting rural housing plot and their future settlement in the metropolitan fringe in the developed region. The paper finds： 1） The conditions of village, the human capital of rural residents and the advantages of resettled sites significantly influence rural inhabitants＇ intention of both quitting rural housing land and future settlement. 2） In the metro- politan fringe of Nanjing, nearly half of rural inhabitants did not intent to give up their rural housing land for compensations, and most of them have a negative attitude towards current compensation policy. 3） After quit- ting rural housing land, a number of rural inhabitants in the metropolitan fringe of Nanjing tend to live in lo- cal towns other than large cities, partly due to the sufficient employment opportunities, good urban amenities and social resources.
