    With the rapid advance of our country's modernization construction, the urban scale is expanding and the population is increasing, causing a large number of cultivated land resources to suffer different degrees of damage. Under the background of advocating sustainable development strategy, the focus of attention has been on how to solve the problem of cultivated land effectively. Comprehensive understanding and assessment of cultivated land value is one of the effective ways to solve this problem. Cultivated land is an indispensable material basis and means of living for national economic growth, as well as a cornerstone for maintaining social stability. However, affected by natural conditions and human exploitation, the area of cultivated land is decreasing year by year, and the phenomenon of cultivated land destruction is becoming increasingly serious. The underlying reason lies in that people do not correctly understand the value of cultivated land and only pay attention to the economic value of cultivated land for a long time. It does not pay attention to the non-market value of farmland. Therefore, this paper aims to explore how to establish a set of scientific and reasonable cultivated land non-market value assessment system and apply it into practice, so as to provide a basis for the government to formulate policies and further promote the smooth development of cultivated land protection work.

    On the basis of referring to the existing literature at home and abroad, this paper makes a comprehensive discussion on the connotation and composition of the non-market value of cultivated land. Based on the fact that the non-market value of cultivated land is composed of social value and ecological value, a complete evaluation system of the non-market value of cultivated land is constructed from the perspective of its existence significance through the perspectives of existence, selection and legacy. Hefei City of Anhui Province was selected as the research object, and 500 urban and rural residents were selected to conduct a questionnaire survey using the conditional valuation method (CVM). Through sorting out the data collected by the questionnaire, the cognition status of local residents on the protection of cultivated land, the non-market value of cultivated land and the willingness to pay for the non-market value of cultivated land were obtained, and the non-market value of cultivated land in Hefei in 2021 was calculated based on this. Meanwhile, the comprehensive method was adopted for comparative study to further verify the rationality of the calculation results of CVM. Finally, The main factors influencing respondents' willingness to pay non-market value of cultivated land were analyzed. The results showed that: (1) The non-market value of cultivated land in Hefei, Anhui Province in 2021 calculated by CVM is 63,375,5525,300 yuan, and the non-market value of unit cultivated land area is 131,500 yuan /hm². (2) The non-market value of the unit cultivated land area calculated by the comprehensive method is 1,313,800 yuan /hm². Through comparative analysis, the calculated results of CVM are more convincing. (3) The factors that significantly affected the participation of urban residents in decision-making were age, education level, annual household income, whether they had participated in environmental protection public welfare activities such as cultivated land, whether they had engaged in agricultural production and management activities, whether they had ecological tourism experience, and their feelings towards cultivated land. The factors that significantly affected the participation of rural residents in decision-making were gender, annual household income and whether they were village cadres. Factors that significantly affected the payment decision of urban residents were education level, annual household income, whether engaged in agricultural production and management activities, years of residence in Hefei, and feelings on cultivated land. The factors that significantly affected the payment decision of rural residents were gender, household annual income, and affection for farmland.

     This study elaborated the connotation and composition of the non-market value of cultivated land, used scientific evaluation methods to calculate it reasonably, and put forward corresponding policy suggestions according to the land use status of the study area, hoping to promote the rational development and utilization of cultivated land resources, and provide reference for the assessment of the non-market value of cultivated land in other areas.
