Alxa League Benefit Evaluation Of Ecological Migration Project

Since the second half of the20th century, the human society is facing many environmental problems due to the irrational economic behavior and global climate change, land desertification is one of them. The Alashan of Inner Mongolia is one of the most serious desertificational areas in China. Its ecosystem becomes very fragile and it is also the source of the sandstorm in China. The meadow of pasturing area and ecosystem is seriously degraded and the natural hazard like sandstorm is more and more because of the factitiously unreasonable exploitation in long time, such as overgraze and excessive deforestation, and the growing drought caused by climate change. Many people fall into poverty caused by drastic shock of desertification. And start of the purpose of economic, society and ecology’s harmonious development, the Alashan government begins a eco-migration project from the mid-1990s. The eco-migration project plays a very important function to promote the desertificational area’s economic, social and ecological benefits’improving as a public policy.In the study, we consider the ecological immigrant project in Alashan of Inner Mongolia as the research object. First, we take a full picture of the local ecological migration’s implementation through field investigation and questionnaire interview. And then I study the economic, social,culture and psychology and ecological benefits that generated by the ecological immigrant project from the micro-level using the method of statistical investigation and the field research. In the first part of the study, I give a introduce of the implementation of the ecological immigrant project in Alashan. Second, I structure the comprehensive-benefits evaluation index system of the ecological migration based on the truth and availability of the data. On this basis, I evaluate the comprehensive-benefits from the economic benefits, social benefits, culture and psychology benefits and ecological benefits using the descriptive analysis method and AHP method. Results suggest that the comprehensive-benefits is fairly significant. The economic benefits, social benefits, culture and psychology benefits and ecological benefits improve significantly all. In the last part, I give some advice to improve the ecological migration project’s benefits more based on the results of evaluation. I hope these advice can help the ecological migration project carry out much more well.
