| Resumo: | In process of China’s industrialization and urbanization, how to realize the sustainable livelihoods of land lost farmers has become an urgent problem in society transformation. The thesis constructs Land Lost Farmer Households’ Sustainable Livelihoods Framework;; defines the sustainability of livelihood pathway from perspective of behavior pattern;; studies their livelihood conditions and selection mechanism of livelihood pathways;; and proposes suggestions for compensation policies for land expropriation. It concludes that the problems of policies included low standard of compensation, low coverage of social security, and lack of employment support, which led to relatively high dissatisfaction with policies and dependence on the government. For land lost farmers households, faced with land lost shocks, the asset-and-goal-based livelihood behavior is the most important factor to affect livelihood pathway and finally determine livelihood outcome. The livelihood assets base determines the capability to adjust livelihood behaviors, and the goals-oriented livelihood attitude determines the intention of adjusting behaviors. Because of the relatively good base of livelihood assets before land lost, the whole matching rate between assets and behaviors and income increased after land lost, showing the overall improvement of livelihood pathways’ sustainability, but the gap among households was widen and livelihood demands were different. Some suggestions are proposed as: to meet diversified demands of households by policy portfolio package to enhance base of livelihood assets;; to fully exert the leverage function of policies to motivate active livelihood behaviors;; and to optimize external livelihood environment to create more of employment or entrepreneurial opportunities for land lost labors.
