Abstract:

Ecological migration is one of the important policy instruments to achieve the two strategic targets of poverty alleviation and ecological civilization construction for China. The scale of ecological migration in Western China is large, and it is of great significance to evaluate its performance, summarize the existing experience and lessons and optimize the implementation of follow-up projects to the green development of ecologically fragile areas in Western China. In order to overcome the shortcomings of inconsistency between project performance and true feelings of migrants caused by ignoring the sense of gain and fairness appeal of migrants, taking Huanghuatan immigration area in Gulang County, Gansu Province as a case, this paper establishes a performance evaluation index system of ecological migration project based on process and outcome to quantitatively measure the project performance and influencing factor. The results show that: (1) The performance evaluation result of ecological migration project of this area is "poor", and the evaluation of the implementation effect of the whole process of the project by migrants is low. The main problems are low level in project participation and policy understanding, too hasty relocation process, substantial increase in total expenditure, poor development benefits of cooperatives, difficulties in local employment, etc. (2) Ecological immigrants with higher economic benefit level have higher performance evaluation of the project, and the benefit level is closely related to their own economic strength. (3) The effect of the ecological migration project on poverty alleviation and income increase is unbalanced, and there are obvious differences in the benefit level of migrants among different groups, and it is necessary to pay attention to the problem of development gap and common prosperity between migrants in the future.
