  • land consolidation boosting Poverty Alleviation in china theory and practice
    Land Use Policy, 2019
    Co-Authors: Yang Zhou, Liying Guo, Yansui Liu
    Abstract:

    Abstract Regional impoverishment is an external manifestation of unbalanced human-land relationship in specific areas. The important role of the full utilization of land resources in alleviating the man-land contradiction has been gradually recognized. As one of the most prominent Poverty-stricken countries in the world, China has been innovating the way of land use to alleviate Poverty. Under the background of land system innovation, land consolidation is an instrument to alleviate Poverty. This study first analyzed the mechanism and path behind land consolidation boosting Poverty Alleviation, then systematically reviewed the evolution of China’s land policies related to Poverty Alleviation since 1978, and finally explained the successful practice of land consolidation boosting Poverty Alleviation through a typical case study. Results show that land consolidation has multi-functional characteristics. Land consolidation has played an active role in increasing cultivated land area, promoting agricultural production scale, improving rural production conditions and living environment, alleviating ecological risk and supporting for rural development. It also helps to create employment opportunities, promote the capitalization of land resources, widen the way for farmers to increase their income, solve the predicament of lack of land, technology and funds faced by the development of poor areas and revitalize rural economy, thus contributing to rural development and Poverty Alleviation. Nevertheless, third-party assessment of the whole process of socio-economic and ecological impacts of land consolidation is still needed. Decision-making of land consolidation needs to take full account of different stakeholders’ interests and bottom-up participation is also necessary. These findings will provide beneficial reference for making-decision for sustainable land use and effective Poverty Alleviation in other developing countries.

  • targeted Poverty Alleviation and its practices in rural china a case study of fuping county hebei province
    Journal of Rural Studies, 2019
    Co-Authors: Yuanzhi Guo, Yang Zhou, Yansui Liu
    Abstract:

    Abstract After nearly seventy years of Poverty Alleviation, China has basically solved the problem of providing food and clothing to the rural poor. However, the islanding effect of the distribution of the poor and the marginal diminishing effect of the antiPoverty resources, which restrict the effects of Poverty-eliminating strategies, are increasingly obvious. In this context, targeted Poverty Alleviation is designed by the Chinese central government. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically analyse targeted Poverty Alleviation and explore the mechanism of its practices. In addition to reviewing the process of antiPoverty in rural China, this study investigated the connotation of targeted Poverty Alleviation and considered the case of Fuping in Hebei Province to explore targeted antiPoverty practices. Results showed that Poverty Alleviation in rural China could be divided into six stages, and the essence of targeted Poverty Alleviation lied in helping those who truly needed help and achieving genuine outcomes by accurately identifying and assisting Poverty-stricken households, accurately managing objects and measures and accurately assessing antiPoverty effectiveness. The practices of targeted Poverty Alleviation in Fuping county mainly involved industrial development, resettlement assistance, financial and educational development, together with medical security and land consolidation, all of which built an endogenous and sustainable mechanism enabling regional development. This study suggests that targeted Poverty Alleviation is an innovative strategy which is suitable for overcoming the islanding effect of Poverty distribution and helping policymakers formulate detailed and targeted measures to eliminate Poverty.

    Journal of Poverty Investment and Development, 2017
    Co-Authors: Sher Khan
    Abstract:

    The main objective of this paper is to analyze the role of micro credit in Poverty reduction for the period 2009 to 2011. This shows that due to utilization of micro credit literacy rate is increased and there is a decrease in Poverty occurs. All the results are highly significant and due to micro credit the literacy rate of several families have increased and some were remained unchanged. On the basis of pair t-statistic we have rejected the null hypothesis (ho: lesser the role of micro credit, lesser would be the chances of Poverty Alleviation) and accepted the alternative hypothesis that (HI: higher the role of micro credit, greater would be the chances of Poverty Alleviation).  This paper concluded that the micro credit plays a very vital role in Poverty Alleviation and government and regulatory authority should try to increase the volumes of micro credit and subsidized the micro credit institutions to facilitate and enlarge the volume of credit. Socially and economically viable projects should be financed. Keywords: Micro credit, Poverty Alleviation, paired T-statistic, Observation, Interviews
