Construction of the Relative Poverty Index System of Rural Residents in China and its Spatio-temporal Evolution
This paper aims to construct a multidimensional relative poverty index system for rural residents in China and explore the spatio-temporal evolution characteristics of the relative poverty of rural residents,so as to provide reference for actively solving the problem of relative poverty.In this paper,the entropy weight TOPSIS method and A-F method are combined to construct an index sys-tem from five dimensions:income,health,education,living conditions and spiritual entertainment.Based on the results of the constructed index system,a spatial autocorrelation model is introduced to explore the spatio-temporal evolution of the relative poverty of rural residents in 31 provinces,auton-omous regions and municipalities in China except Hong Kong,Macao and Taiwan.It is found that the provinces and cities with higher degree of rural relative poverty gather in the central area of Chi-na,and the provinces and cities with lower degree of rural relative poverty gather in the coastal area of China.Therefore,in order to actively solve the problem of relative poverty,a regional multidi-mensional relative poverty index system should be established according to regional differences.
