The Conversion of Farmland to Forests Programme(CFF) developed since 1999 in China has entered the subsequent period for consolidating the achievements had made. In the late more than 10 years of implementing the project, the central government and the various local governments have made a series of policies to guide and implement the construction of the CFF. However, as our country is wide in area, the natural environments of the broad regions of CFF differ a lot from each other, and these areas have got very different social economic development levels, which makes a series of problems demanding further deep research such as whether the central government-guided policy of turning the CFF could be adapted to the actual demands of the construction of the CFF in various areas, how the efficiency of the policy of CFF is, how to assess the efficiency of the policy of CFF, how to consummate and establish the policy system in the consequent period of CFF, and how to establish the path to construct and form the guarantee system to implement the consequent policies.According to the complexity of the project of CFF in our country and the huge difference between various areas in nature and social economy, this thesis selected the reservoir area of The Three Gorges as the specific research area to profoundly research the above problems, which is mainly based on the considerations that in the view of the natural environment, The Three Gorges reservoir area range from the middle to western parts of the Yangtze River, whose hypsography is mainly the mountains and valleys. The ecological environment of this region is weak with frequent natural disasters. Simultaneously, it is the important ecological guarantee protection area in the midstream and downstream of the Yangtze River and the Three Gorges project with important ecological position. In the view of the social economic development, the population of the reservoir area is large, the people and the nature here have intense relationships, the minor nations are various here, and the social and economic development levels in this area are relatively outdated, which make this area one of the grouping poverty areas in the West of China. Besides, this area is also the largest non-volunteering immigrant area for project with complex and sophisticated social problems, and is a classical area with various characteristics of oldness, youth, poverty, reservoir and immigration, which make it possess classical representative characters in the broad west region. Thus the research on the problem of the policy of CFF for The Three Gorges reservoir area not only maintains huge strategical meanings, but also could expose the main problems existed in the policy of CFF and the main solutions thereof in our country presently.Based on the analysis of the above problems and the research targets, it tries to combine the regulated research and the applied research and the quantitative research and the qualitative research, utilizes the related theories in the regional economics, the ecological economics and regulation economics and the public policy to combine the practices of CFF in the reservoir area, and perform the analysis and exploration in the two angles of from up to down and from down to up, in the consequent period of the policy of CFF. Through the use of the specific methods such as the field investigation method, the level analysis method, the currency value method and the farmer willing assessment, it performs full analysis and assessment on the efficiency of implementing the policy of CFF in the reservoir area from the sides of the farmers' willing, the ecological benefits, the social and economic profits and others on the basis of the analysis of the present policy system of CFF in our country. Based on it, it researches the defects and main problems existed in the regulation design and policy system of the present policy of CFF in our country, puts forward the paths and the main content to construct the consequent policy system of CFF, and further analyses the guarantee system to implement the consequent policy system of CFF, and then comes to the research conclusion and the following policy recommendations of the thesis.This thesis is constituted of nine parts in the content structure, the introduction part mainly introduces the research background and the theme meaning, the domestic and abroad meanings, the research methodology, the technique line and the main content and innovative points of the thesis. The content of the first chapter mainly analyses the theory basis for assessing the policy of CFF and the consequent innovation of regulation. The second chapter mainly looks back and cards the several aspects including the present policy system and the practice experience of the project of CFF in our country. The third chapter mainly introduces the efficiency assessment frame and the research area survey of the policy of CFF in the thesis. The fourth chapter mainly analyses the willing assessment of the farmers in the reservoir area towards the policy of CFF and the contradicts and agreements between the policy of CFF and the willing of the farmers and the main elements for producing the problems on the basis of the farmer willing assessment. The fifth chapter performs the assessment research on the present ecological profits of the policy of CFF in the Wanzhou district of Chongqing, which is the case area of the reservoir area, and it performs quantitative analysis on the ecological profits in the case area with the objects valuation and currency value method. The sixth chapter performs the assessment research on the actual economic profits and social profits of the policy of CFF in the Wanzhou district of Chongqing as the case area, in where it uses the level analysis method, bases on the assessment level and the index system and the determination of the weights, and uses the non-dimensional calculation methods to obtain the social and economic profit index and the integral profits and the society and economy of the policy of CFF in the economy and social areas. The seventh chapter bases on the carding of the present theory system of the policy of CFF and the assessment of the policy profits of the reservoir area, performs the profound analysis on the problems existed in the policy of CFF in our country, and analyses the guarantee system for establishing the consequent theory system of CFF and consummating the implementation of the consequent policy of CFF. And the last parts comes to the whole research conclusion and recommendations on the basis of the above analysis.On the basis of the thesis research, this thesis comes to the following research conclusions:Firstly, on the basis of the nine ecological index practicality and the currency value calculation selected in the case area of the Wanzhou District, it comes to the total ecological profit value of 1.04548 million Yuan for CFF, and at the same time, it comes to the specific contributions of the nine ecological index profits of the policy of CFF in this area, in where the profits of fixing carbon and releasing oxygen takes 44.22 percent of the total value, the profits of soil and water conservation and water conservation takes 49.35 percent of the total profit amount, which describes that the implementation of the policy of CFF have benefits on increasing the forest coverage rate of the reservoir area and reducing the soil and water losses, which echoes the main target of the implementation of the policy of CFF in our country and profoundly explains that the change of the ecological conditions of our country is closely related to the specific ecological regulations and the design of the policies.Following that, in the social and economic profit area, the integral profit indexes in the social and economic areas for the policy of CFF in Wanzhou district were 0.0458,0.1365,0.2059,0.2646,0.3695,0.4758, and 0.5678 in the years of 2000-2006, which represents the trend of increasing as time flies. In the selected five social and economic sub-areas, influences and effects differ a lot, in where the policy of CFF plays the most important role in the social structure and the economic development, and the least in the society progress, followed with the population capability and the life quality. The social and economic profit results of the policy of CFF in the reservoir area describes that the policy of CFF in our country has many defects in the area of upgrading the social and economic profits, it is difficult to implement the predicted target depending on the single government guided model and the single department of the forestry. The policy of CFF should be closely combined with the solutions of the three rural problems with huge efforts on implementing the regulation innovation, and then the predicted target will be realized.At last, from the view of the farmer willing assessment, most farmers who have turned the grain plots to forestry have differences in assessing the efficiency of the policy of CFF for various elements, and the policy of CFF have agreements as well as contradicts with the profits of the farmers. The results for assessing the willingness of the farmers describe that there are much space for the policy of CFF consummated and improved in the areas of invoking the activity of the farmers to CFF and maintain their profits, and the social entity for consolidate the fruits of CFF is not stable.Generally, the policy of CFF in our country has obtained obvious stage profits, but the consolidation of the fruits of the policy of CFF face many undetermined elements for the defects of the present policy system in the regulation design and the bias in the execution level. Therefore, how to conquer the regulation defects of the present policy system of CFF and implement the regulation innovation and establish a set of the consequent policy system of CFF with systemic, scientific and predictable characters, and the guidance of the government as well as the tolerance of the stimulation, has become a key for consolidating the fruits achieved by the policy of CFF in our country.
