农民市民化是我国全面建设小康社会和构建社会主义和谐社会的重要战略之一。无论是主动市民化还是被动市民化, 城市郊区的农民市民化一般都是在城市土地扩张和城市建设重心外移的背景下, 借助于工业化、非农化和城市化的强力推动而进行的。如果我们把农民市民化过程看作一个有机系统的话, 它实际上同时存在着宏观、中观和微观三个不同层面的社会支持结构。可以说, 农民市民化是在城乡比较差异和相关政策的社会与制度背景下, 依赖于农民自身的人力资本, 通过一系列连续的社会网络的综合运作而得以实现的。

In China farmers' transformation into urban inhabitants is one of important strategies for building a well-off society in an all-round way and a harmonious socialist society.In general, their transformation into townspeople in the urban suburbs, whether it is active or passive, is carried out under powerful pushes of industrialization, non-agriculturization and urbanization and in the context of the expansion of urban land and the outward focuses of urban reconstruction.If such a process is regarded as an organic system, in reality it has simultaneously three social supporting systems at different levels of macroscope, mediumscope and microscope.It may be said that farmers' transformation into urban inhabitants is realized under social and institutional backgrounds of urban and rural comparative differences and relevant policies, depending on farmers themselves' manpower capital, and through a series of continuous comprehensive operations of social networks.
