Effective social mobilization structure and embedded "mobilization tools" constitute the mobilization logic that motivates villagers′ collective action to move. The "demand-supply" relationship formed between villagers′ relocation willingness and local government′s social mobilization is the driving mechanism to promote village migration. The process of village migration is also the social learning process of villagers, the fundamental goal of village migration is to optimize the social basis of rural development and enhance the social vitality and endogenous power of rural development.
