Research On The Present Situation And Promotion Countermeasure Of The Farmers And Herdsmen’s Sense Of Gain In Sichuan Tibetan Area

As one of the 14 contiguous poor areas,Sichuan Tibetan area has very important strategic position — “To govern Tibet,we must first make Kamba stable”.This is because Sichuan Tibetan area is an old revolutionary base area,ethnic minority area,border area,poor area,Wenchuan earthquake disaster area and ecological sensitive area.Whether this area can enter a moderately prosperous society with the whole country in 2020 will influence the overall development of our country.This article takes 43 farmers and herdsmen in the townships of Mao County and Heishui County(Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture,Sichuan province)as object of study,collecting data by means of semi-structured in-depth interview,unstructured participation observation and symposium,describing the present situation and existing problems of farmers and herdsmen’s sense of gain in Sichuan Tibetan area from the aspects of public infrastructure,income,education,medical treatment,old-age care,housing,grass-roots self-management and religious belief,analyzing the influences of farmers and herdsmen’s sense of gain in Sichuan Tibetan area from three aspects: structural,demography and subjective,and putting forward some suggestions for the improvement of farmers and herdsmen’s sense of gain from infrastructure construction,income increase of farmers and herdsmen,social security enhancement,improvement of cultural quality,protection of legal rights and interests,development of religious function and construction of ethnic relations.According to the article,benefiting from the preferential policies of the western development,the development of Tibet,the reconstruction of Wenchuan after the earthquake,and targeted poverty alleviation,farmers and herdsmen have obtained direct material benefits including education,medical treatment,old-age care,and housing with the rapid economic and social development of Sichuan Tibetan area,so the sense of gain is generally enhanced in the longitudinal comparison.But horizontally compare to other Tibetan areas,Sichuan province and the whole country,the income gap,to a great extent,damages the sense of gain of the farmers and herdsmen in Sichuan Tibetan area.Meanwhile,the contradiction between the rapid growth of material and cultural needs and the desire for a better life of the farmers and herdsmen and the imbalance and inadequate of development has not narrowed significantly.Farmers and herdsmen’s expectations for future and excessive social expectations of the party and government also damage the sense of gain of the farmers and herdsmen.The article also particularly mentions that the dividend effect of the policy is being severely weakened because of the non-just and non-public behaviors of grass-roots staff during the implementation of the policy.And a special mention is also made in the policy recommendations: to play the active function of Tibetan Buddhism by guiding the religion adapting to socialist society;to promote migrant workers from minorities to realize the citizenization as soon as possible by improving the urban ethnic working methods.
