Coupling coordinated evaluation of sustainable livelihoods and ecological livability of farming and herding households in semi-agricultural and semi-pastoralist areas of northern China
This research uses survey data from 231 farming and herding households in Bairin Right Banner,Chifeng City,Inner Mongolia,China,to evaluate the sustainable livelihoods and ecological livability of farming and herding households,with analyzing the factors influencing the coupling coordination degree.The study found that:1)Livelihood capital is a key resource for sustainable livelihoods of farming and herding households,and green production is a key element of ecological livability.2)The levels of sustainable livelihoods and ecological livability of farming and herding households in the semi-agricultural and semi-pastoralist areas of northern China are both at a low level,and there are significant differences in spatial and geographical distribution.3)The coupling coordination degree of sustainable livelihoods and ecological livability for farming and herding households is generally low.Most villages are at the intermediate or lower degree of coordination,and the proportion of villages with high-quality coordination is relatively low.4)Improving livelihood capital,promoting green production,building green ecology,and promoting green lifestyles significantly contribute to the improvement of the coupling and coordination of sustainable livelihoods and ecological livability for farming and herding households.
