Researches on policy tools for water pollution prevention and control of China:A quantitative analysis based on policy text from 1984 to 2020
Since the"13th Five-Year"Plan,the ecological civilization construction of China has achieved remarkably;however,the environmental problems are still serious.As one of the important contents of ecological civilization construction,water pollution prevention and control need to be further promo-ted and strengthened during the"14th Five-Year"Plan period.Constructing an analysis framework by taking the water environment policy texts of China as the research object since 1984 is based on the bas-ic types of water environment policy tools,and combines the three dimensions of water pollution poli-cy,governance process,policy issuance time and policy actors.Through the collection,sorting,coding and quantitative analysis of water pollution prevention and control policy documents,it was found that the water pollution prevention and control policy system of China is relatively comprehensive.Howev-er,there are problems such as the imbalance in the use of policy tools,the weak governance links in the whole process of policy tools and the monotonous structure of the actors of policy tools.In the future,it is necessary to adjust the use proportion of flexible and rigid policy tools,strengthen the supply of the whole-process governance tools of water pollution control policies,promote the diverse participation of water pollution control policy actors,and improve existing policy tools and innovate new ones.
