Analysis Of The Impact Of Fishermen’s Willingness To Retreat To Compensation Based On Sustainable Livelihood Capital

In 2017,the “Central Document No.1” proposed to “take the lead in realizing a comprehensive ban on catching in the Yangtze River Basin Aquatic Life Reserve”.From 2019 to 2020,the central government has successively proposed in the“Implementation Plan for Banning Catch and Establishing a Compensation System in Key Waters of the Yangtze River Basin” until the end of the year In the past,fishermen’s retreat in the aquatic life reserve was completed,and the first to implement a comprehensive ban.In the future,the aquatic life reserve will completely ban productive fishing.By the end of 2020,complete the retreat of fishermen in the main stream of the Yangtze River and important tributaries in waters other than the protected area.The perennial ban on fishing in the Yangtze River Basin has become a necessary prerequisite for the sustainable development of fishery resources in the Yangtze River Basin.However,for nearly 280,000 Yangtze River fishermen to withdraw from fishing activities in the Yangtze River,the fishermen will lose their original means of livelihood.At present,the work of retreating the Yangtze River mainly revolves around the recovery of fishermen’s fishing rights and paid scrapping of special equipment.There is no unified mechanism for the formulation of compensation policies and measures for fishermen after they go ashore.In this context,whether the fishermen’s existing livelihood capital can be used to formulate compensation measures that meet the fisher’s wishes is related to whether the fishermen can quickly adapt to the life of retiring fishermen when they go ashore and ensure that their livelihood capital will not decline.Therefore,this article explores the specific impact of fishermen’s livelihood capital on compensation willingness from a theoretical and empirical point of view,and combines the data from field surveys along the Dongting Lake to propose relevant suggestions to optimize fishermen’s livelihood capital structure and improve fishermen’s ability to adapt to land.Achieve the coordinated development of environmental protection and fishermen’s livelihoods in the Yangtze River Basin.This article first describes the development and role of the sustainable livelihood capital theory.On this basis,it sorts out the domestic and foreign related literature on the use of sustainable livelihoods framework to solve the problem of farmers’ livelihoods and the compensation of fishermen.This part is this article.The foundation and pavement for research.Then,a statistical description of the basic livelihoods of the fishermen in the area along the Dongting Lake,the concerns of the fishermen withdrawing their catch,and the willingness to compensate are made.On this basis,by referring to the research results of scholars in related fields and following the selection principle of evaluation indicators,construct a sustainable livelihood framework indicator system to analyze the problems existing in the fishermen’s livelihood capital in the study area.Finally,through the correlation test and the multiple disordered logistics regression model,the influence of fishermen’s livelihood capital on compensation willingness is obtained.Through research,it was found that the fishermen groups in the Dongting Lake area expressed support for the policy of retreating fishing,which played a positive role in the advancement of fishing retreat on the Yangtze River.However,the basic living standards of the local fishermen are not high,the livelihood problems of the fishermen after the retreat are many,and the vulnerability of the fishermen group is outstanding.These surface problems are based on the perspective of sustainable livelihoods,mainly due to the deviation of the overall livelihood capital of the local fishermen Low,and the gap between the five types of livelihood capital indicators is obvious,and they can influence each other.Before the retreat,fishermen mainly depended on human,financial and physical capital to maintain their livelihoods,and their dependence on natural capital and social capital was low.In recent years,natural capital has shown a downward trend due to overuse.The fishermen’s social circle is relatively fixed,and social capital has never been.Significant increase,which will further require fishermen to invest in the other three capitals to maintain their livelihoods;after the withdrawal of fishing,except for the slow increase in the protection of natural capital due to the ban on fishing in the Yangtze River Basin,the remaining four types of livelihood capital are expected to decline.In general,for fishermen,withdrawing catch will cause a decline in sustainable livelihood capital and a serious structural imbalance.Therefore,by linking the fishermen’s willingness to compensation on this basis,six factors such as age in the birth capital have a significant impact on the compensation willingness.At the level of human capital,age,low education,and large family populations are more likely to be fishermen Social security and monetary subsidy compensation;at the level of financial capital,the fishermen with higher fishing income are more inclined to compensation for employment placement;at the level of material capital,the value of fishing boats and fishing gear has a positive impact on fishermen’s choice of social security and monetary subsidies.In general,the fishermen with a lower overall livelihood level are more willing to choose a one-time short-term compensation method,while the fishermen with a higher overall livelihood level are more willing to choose a staged long-term compensation method.Based on the above research results,this article puts forward some policy recommendations.Based on the different age groups of fishermen,targeted compensation will be provided through three aspects: monetary compensation,social security and employment resettlement.The specific manifestations are a series of measures such as guiding the retreating fishermen to actively transform,increasing capital investment,innovating subsidy forms,relaxing social security restrictions and improving social security mechanisms,improving fishermen’s ability to resist risks and adaptability after landing,and solving the problem of fishermen’s livelihood capital.
