| The problem of poverty hinders social stability and economic development.As the primary project of precise poverty alleviation,relocation to alleviate poverty is the main measure to alleviate or get rid of poverty in deep poverty areas.With the comprehensive completion of the task of poverty alleviation,the follow-up support for relocated farmers has become the focus of work at this stage,and the livelihood development of relocated farmers has attracted widespread attention.Studying the sustainable development of livelihoods of relocated farmers and making suggestions to improve it can further help relocated farmers to stabilize their livelihood development,and is also important for the development of follow-up support for relocated farmers.As the province with the largest number of people relocated to alleviate poverty,Guizhou Province has accomplished the relocation of1.92 million poor people since the poverty eradication campaign,and has achieved milestones in the fragile ecological environment of karst mountains and the concentration of poor people.In order to continuously consolidate the results of poverty eradication in Guizhou province,exploring the livelihood recovery potential of farmers before and after the relocation of poverty alleviation in karst mountainous areas and its influencing factors can promote the sustainable development of relocated farmers’ livelihoods.In this paper,901 relocated households in 34 resettlement sites in 22 counties of 9 cities and states in Guizhou Province were selected as the research sample,and the livelihoods of 901 relocated households were continuously tracked and investigated in four periods before relocation,after relocation in 2019,2020,and 2021;they were divided into urban resettlement,town resettlement,and central village resettlement according to different resettlement methods.We introduced the idea of sustainable livelihoods to construct 18 livelihood resilience evaluation index systems with three dimensions of buffering capacity,self-organization capacity and learning capacity,and quantitatively analyzed the livelihood recovery level of the households relocated from the karst mountains under the change of time sequence and different resettlement methods,and used the contribution model to analyze the degree of influence of each index factor within the livelihood resilience,and summarized the influence of each period and different resettlement methods.The main findings of the study were:(1)the livelihood resilience of farming households in the mountainous areas of the Kushan Mountains was not affected by the relocation process.The main findings are:(1)the livelihood resilience of farm households relocated from karst mountainous areas in Guizhou Province is low,and it shows a trend of increasing year by year before and after relocation,with an increase of nearly 40% from before to after relocation in 2021.(2)The differences in the livelihood recovery potential of farm households before and after relocation were obvious: before relocation<2019<2020<2021;under different resettlement methods: central village resettlement<cityresettlement<town resettlement;(3)The indicator factors affecting the livelihood recovery level of farm households before and after relocation and under different resettlement methods were different,and the indicators of household economic status,social security,and risk coping ability were used as the indicators of the livelihood recovery level of relocated farm households.The key core factors were household economic status,social security,and risk coping ability.Finally,an effective construction approach is provided to enhance the livelihood recovery development of relocated farmers in karst mountainous areas.It is proposed to increase the employment rate and encourage farmers to develop diversified livelihoods to improve buffer capacity;implement social security such as education and medical care to improve self-organization capacity;build an information dissemination platform and enhance training efficiency to promote learning capacity,so as to ultimately achieve the purpose of improving the livelihood recovery level of relocated farmers and help relocated farmers further realize sustainable livelihood development. |
