"Eco-friendly"Governance:A Case Study of Village D To Show APractical Path for Balanced Economic,Social,and Ecological Development in Mountainous Rural Areas
Compared to general rural areas,mountainous villages possess richer natural resources but face challenges such as industrial monotony,elite capture,and ecological degradation.Most scholarly analyses focus on economic development and policy orientation,somewhat neglecting social and ecological perspectives.In reality,the lack of a balanced development perspective among economy,society,and ecology leads to transformation failures.This paper employs the"Two Mountains"concept to build an"ecological"governance analysis framework from a balanced development angle,encompassing"Transformation—Sharing—Protection".Based on an empirical study of a typical village,the paper argues that ineffective transformation between economic,social,and ecological governance hinders livelihood improvement;unequal sharing destabilizes society;and inadequate protection results in ecological damage.The practical path to addressing these relationships is to orient towards livelihood,transform income-increasing methods,utilize the transformation mechanism to enhance green production,to aim for harmony to create a community of interests,to use the sharing mechanism to foster social coordination,to ensure"Three-in-One"governance,to protect the ecological environment,and to use the protection mechanism to promote sustainable development.Coordinated operation of the three mechanisms ensures balanced development in the economy,society,and ecology of mountainous villages.
