摘要：随着我国市场经济的飞速发展，工业化、城市化进程的加快，许多农民失去了土地，某种程度上逐渐向城市的市民转变。这是一种农民被迫城市化的现象，但在某些经济比较发达的农村地区，已经出现了农民主动在城市购房，并向城市转移的现象，笔者针对这一现象以一个村为对象做了实证研究，探讨农民主动选择在城市购房的经济、社会、文化原因，并讨论这种购房热潮对农民以及城市建设的影响。

如今随着农民经济能力的提高，生产方式和思想的转变，在江苏经济较为发达的苏南苏中地区，出现了这样一种现象：农民有了剩余资产后，不愿意在农村建新房而是到市区跟城市居民一样买房，即使资金难以维持高涨的的房价，农民也会退而求其次，选择在乡镇购房，总之，农民“安土重迁”，不愿意离开土地生活的思想已经不像过去那么根深蒂固，农民逐渐从土地上脱离出来，走进了城镇。这种买房策略跟农民失地的被动买房性质是不一样的，不是因为没有土地耕种或者新农村建设的推广而被动“上楼”，更多的是农民主动选择自行到城镇购房。
笔者就针对苏中经济较为发达地区的村庄进行调查，研究当地农民买房的动机，通过问卷调查和访谈的形式分析导致农民产生这种动机的原因。
