摘要

行政院農業委員會於民國97年推動「小地主大佃農」政策，藉由農民持有農地使用權型態來擴大農場經營規模，藉以活化休耕地。然依據1909年Young名言指出：「給予一個人一塊貧瘠的土地所有權，他將使其變成一個花園，但若給他承租一個有九年租約的花園，他將使其變成荒漠」。政策鼓勵以農地使用權方式擴大農場經營規模時，是否會因此造成農地利用不效率？或對農地利用帶來何種影響？因此，本文以宜蘭縣三星鄉農民為調查對象，分析「小地主大佃農」政策下之農地使用權型態對農地利用影響。本文採取的研究方法，除了對相關文獻回顧整理外，並在個案地區進行問卷調查。研究發現，農民持有農地使用權在「激勵農民努力從事農業生產」、「有助於擴大農場經營規模」及「對農民維護農地環境有幫助」等三方面，與農民持有農地所有權影響相同。最後，針對目前「小地主大佃農」政策提出一些後續政策調整及修正之建議。

In 2008, Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan proposes ＂Small Landlords and Big Tenants＂, expanding the family farm and activation of fallow land by farmers owning types of using right. However, according to Arthur Young (1909): ＂Give a man the secure possession of a bleak rock, and he will turn it into a garden; give him a nine years lease of a garden, and he will convert it into a desert.＂ When policies to encourage expanding the family farm by farmers owning types of using right, will result in agricultural land inefficient use or cause what kind of influence in agricultural land use? In order to clarify it, this paper attempts to examine farmers in Sanshing Township, Yilan County in Taiwan, to analyze patterns of owning types of using right impact on agricultural land use under the policy of Small Landlords and Big Tenants. We adopted text analysis and Survey. We found farmers owning types of using right affects by the same owning types of ownership in three dimensions, encouraging farmers to engage in agricultural production, expanding the family farm, and protecting agricultural environment. Finally, we aim at ＂Small Landlords and Big Tenants＂ put forward some suggestions.
