This paper is trying to explore the impacts of farmer’s cognition of property rights of farmland, capacity of action, characteristics of farmers’ endowment and the features of transferred land on farmers’ behavior of signing a contract when farmers participated in the farmland transfer,using the Logistic model based on the survey of 890 rural households in China.The result shows that farmers’ cognition on exclusive rights of arable land,farmers’ transaction capacity,non-agricultural occupation,and the target and patterns of transaction will have impact on farmers’ signing contract behavior.Therefore,some policy suggestions are proposed as household’s land rights should be stabilized and defined legally, other social groups’ behaviors should be regulated and limited, national laws and policies should be propagandized and explained further to strengthen the farmers’ understanding and help them protect their rights and interests, and finally social security of those farmers who moved to the city should be improved to promote contractization and standardization of farmland transfer so as to ensure those migrant workers’rights and interests.
