Research On Sustainable Operating Mechanism And Assessment Of Small-scale Irrigation Works In Shandong Province

Small-scale irrigation works is an important infrastructure of agricultural production and plays an important role in agricultural production。Because of the diversified forms and small engineering scale, the difficult problem of project management has yet to be resolved. Ultimately, these projects can not be sustainable operation, and project benefits have been seriously affected.In this thesis, by analyzing the characteristics and exist problems of small water conservancy projects in Shandong Province, the effective management mechanisms and the government’s management methods, which provided technical support for the sustainable operation of small water conservancy projects, are proposed. The major contents are as follows.Firstly, by analyzing the construction of small water conservancy projects in Shandong Province, especially the problems of operation and management, the reasons for these problems are found in six aspects:the lack of oversight mechanisms, management organization and system is not perfect, low management capacity, lack of funds and effective operational mechanism. At the same time, the main factors that affect the sustainable operation of the small water conservancy projects as the "natural conditions"、"government","social economy"、"operating mechanism" and "capital investment" are proposed.Secondly, combined with the sustainable operation of the definition and characteristics of small water conservancy projects, the elements which affect the sustainable operation of small water conservancy projects and the relationship between the various elements are studied. Then six kinds of management mechanism of sustainable operation for small water conservancy projects which is in line with the characteristics of small water conservancy projects is established as follow:establishing accountable management mechanism、financial security mechanism、government guidance mechanism、farmers’ self-management mechanisms、supervision mechanism and personnel recruitment mechanisms.Thirdly, the functions and management methods of government departments in the management of small water conservancy projects are studied. The main functions of town governments are divided into the plan, organizing, directing, coordinating, controlling. The functions of township government are management and service. The Management methods of county government are supervision and management, technical guidance, introduction of talents, and economic support as well as grading and classification management. The management methods of township government are organizing, assigning responsibilities, supervision and inspection.Frothy, The three-layer index evaluation to evaluate the operating conditions which contains5first level indexes,17two indicators and45three indicators has established. Qualitative indicators are to be quantified by using the D-S evidence theory, and then the Evaluation model of small water conservancy projects are established by AHP. At last the model was verified with an example.
