Abstract:

We establish an evaluation index system, and we evaluate the spatial differences and analyze the major influential factors for the sustainable livelihoods of peasant household in Liangshan prefecture. A brief comparison on the sustainable livelihoods of peasant household is made between Liangshan prefecture and Sichuan province. Additionally, the development level is closely related to the regional resources and environment conditions. Spatial autocorrelation model analysis reveals that there are significant spatial autocorrelations for the sustainable livelihoods of peasant household in Liangshan. Finally the measures are put forward to improve the ability of sustainable livelihoods of peasant household in mountain settlement.

Key words: mountain settlement, peasant household, sustainable livelihoods, evaluation, spatial difference, Liangshan prefecture
