Abstract: Based on the farm household′s questionnaire in Shangrao County of Jiangxi Province, the paper analyzed the mechanism of farm households′ behavior of WSCI. Factors, influencing mostly farm household's behavior of WSCI are: regional economic development, partfarm behavior of farm households, agricultural land area and quantities of family agricultural labor. In order to analyze the relativity between farm household′s behavior of WSCI and these parameters, a linear regression model was established by the software SPSS. Farm household′s behavior of WSCI was mostly influenced by partfarm behavior, income structure and agricultural land area of farm households. Partfarm households, who had more income from nonagriculture, invested less in water and soil conservation. And farm households with more agricultural land area also paid less attention in investing water and soil conservation. At last, some pieces of advice were given to prompt farm household′s behavior on WSCI.

Key words: water and soil conservation, farm household′s behavior of water and soil conservation, decisionmaking model, Shangrao County
