Analysis of the impact of livelihood capital on farmers'environmental awareness in Qinba mountains of southern Shaanxi province
Taking Qinba mountains in southern Shaanxi province as an example,this study adopts participatory rural assessment method to describe the current situation of farmers'environmental awareness from three dimensions of environmental knowledge,ecological concept and environmental protection behavior.Based on this,multiple Logistic regression and Tobit regression models were established to study the key factors affecting farmers'environmental awareness.The results show that:(1)The livelihood capital of the overall farmers in the Qinba mountainous area of southern Shaanxi is relatively lacking,and the distribution is unbalanced;the environmental awareness of farmers is mainly divided into three types:weak,medium and strong.(2)Physical capital has always been the key livelihood capital that affects farmers'environmental awareness from weak to strong,and human capital stock is the basic guarantee to greatly improve farmers'environmental awareness.(3)Various livelihood capital has a significant effect on various dimensions of farmers'environmental awareness,and can guide and educate farmers to improve their environmental awareness by adjusting farmers'livelihood capital.(4)For different types of farmers,the level of environmental awareness is different,and the degree of impact of livelihood capital on the environmental awareness of various types of farmers is different.On this basis,countermeasures and suggestions for promoting farmers'environmental awareness and future research directions are put forward.
