Analysis on the characteristics and influencing factors of relative poverty in Karst Mountain Area
Relative poverty is one of the issues that need to be tackled in global poverty reduc-tion.Taking the Huajiang demonstration area in Guizhou Province in Southwest China as an ex-ample,the authors constructed a relative poverty measurement system with three dimensions of living standard,viability and economic status from the perspective of social deprivation,conduct-ed a quantitative study on the relative poverty of a sample of 581 households in the Huajiang demonstration area,analysed the spatial characteristics of the relatively poor households,and de-tected the geographical factors affecting poverty.The results show that:(1)farmers living in lo-cations with high altitude,large slope and undulating terrain are more likely to suffer from rela-tive poverty;(2)natural factors are the dominant force affecting relative poverty,and are the ba-sis for the formation,development and evolution of relative poverty,while social factors also have a certain influence on relative poverty.At the same time,the interaction detection of the Geographic Probe shows that there are significant interactions among the factors.Measuring the relative poverty level of the Huajiang demonstration area and each village group and exploring its influencing factors can provide theoretical references for improving the realisation of the sus-tainable development of the Huajiang demonstration area and for countries to tackle the challeng-es of relative poverty in karst mountains.
