Research on the Influencing Factors of Ecological Compensation Policy

Abstract

As an effective measure to encourage people to consciously protect the environment, ecological compensation policy plays an important role in the realization of green development strategy. Based on the field survey data of Maoershan Nature Reserve in Lijiang River Source, the study on the overall situation of satisfaction, the heterogeneity of different types of village satisfaction and the mechanism of livelihood capital's influence on the satisfaction of ecological compensation policy shows that the overall level of livelihood capital of farmers in Lijiang River Source Nature Reserve is low, and the distribution of five kinds of capital is unbalanced, with human capital being the highest and social capital being the lowest. Most of the farmers in the protection area are satisfied with the ecological compensation policy, and the factors that have a significant impact on it include the provision of natural capital, financial capital, material capital, social capital, nationality, technical training, and whether there are compensation measures for not issuing compensation in time. Based on the empirical results, the following suggestions are put forward: first, the quality of cultivated land and forest land should be improved; second, the credit threshold of farmers participating in the policy should be lowered; third, the construction of grassroots governments should be promoted and the policy publicity should be strengthened; fourth, the compensation amount should be guaranteed and the compensation methods should be diversified.
