Study on the Implementation Status and Efficacy Evaluation of the River Chief Policy
By constructing a four-dimensional policy efficacy evaluation model of"policy intensity-policy ob-jectives-policy measures-policy feedback",this study evaluates the efficacy of the River Chief Policy and ana-lyzes the impact of various policy measures on water quality.The findings are as follows:(1)The current River Chief policy texts have strong guiding efficacy,but the policy measures are singular,lacking in com-prehensiveness and low in public participation.(2)The River Chief policy texts still focus on"winning by quantity",neglecting the specific content of the policy texts and the integrity of policy implementation.(3)Command-and-control policy measures can effectively improve water quality,while economic incentive and informational policy measures have a negative impact on water quality improvement,and voluntary participa-tion policy measures cannot significantly affect water quality.Based on these findings,further amplification of policy efficacy is proposed through the establishment of collaborative provincial-level river chief mecha-nisms,long-term governance,and support mechanisms for the River Chief system.
