Since opening up to the outside world, the economy of Chinese rural area has gained a great development, the livelihood of the peasants have improved a lot compared to the past. However, while making such a huge achievement, the ecological environment of rural area meets the problem of serious deterioration. Since the number of enterprises in the rural area is huge, product technique is poor and the equipment is relatively primitive, during the production process, large amount of pollutants are poured into the rural area, thereby destroying the ecological environment of rural area. The problem of dirt, mess is very serious, compared to the city, the ecological environment pollution in the rural area is much worse.Some local government department usually imposes restrictions on using the environment Management power, with the intention of gaining a higher economic benefit. On the contrary, Environmental Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) could not effectively utilize its environment Management power, because it has many defects. Plus, peasants are not very well educated; therefore they could limit neither the pollution behavior of the rural enterprise nor the environmental Management behavior. What's more, the environmental Management power is mostly held by local government, neither the mega peasants nor the Environmental NGO owns the proper environment Management power. The above mentioned factors together lead to a poor performance of the rural ecological environment Management system.By a dynamic analysis of the utility function of local government, rural enterprise and peasant, this thesis find that local government always ignore environmental Management, with the intention of pursuing a better economic development. When there is no environment management pressure, rural enterprise lack the motivation of initiating technology innovation, its production technique progress is slow; the pollution of its production always exists. Therefore, under the condition that local government holds all the power of environment management, the optimum development path chosen by local government is not the best path. While the inclusion of Environmental NGO could assist local government choose the best development path. Under the high level and low level technology investment, the rural social welfare level of the optimum development path will sooner or later surpass that of the common development path——that is, the path chosen by local government before inclusion of Environmental NGO.However, since the appearance of the advantage of the optimum development path lags in phase, one generation or several generation of local government could hardly see the benefit brought by it. To realize the optimum development path, profound mechanism insurance is necessary. Central government played the role of the mechanism designer. In the environment Management system designed by central government, the mega peasants have the direct power of supervising Environmental NGO, they could decide the appointment and dismiss of the NGO's main leader. Plus, they have the power of supervising local government. Under the achievement assess system designed by central government, local government will strictly abide by the rural ecological environmental Management system designed by central government. Local government will strictly supervise the production behavior of rural enterprises, and punish them for their pollution behavior. Plus, NGO also own the right of directly punishing rural enterprise for their pollution behavior. Under multiple management, rural enterprise will feel the unprecedented anti-pollution pressure. Under such pressure, rural enterprises will recognize the importance of technology innovation, introduce or develop more environmental production technology, thereby put its production onto the right track.However, since both the education level and environmental consciousness of Chinese peasant are low and Chinese Environmental NGO itself has many defects, it's difficult that the rural ecological environmental management system could run effectively. Therefore, after the foundation of the rural ecological environmental management system, the central government must strengthen and pay attention to the enhancement of the environmental consciousness of mega peasants, and build a good legal and social environment for the development of Chinese Environmental NGO, putting the development of Chinese Environmental NGO on the right track,and realize rural economic endogenous growth.Innovation of this dissertation lies in:For the first time, quantitative research methods are taken to analyze rural environment management authority configuration in China, to construct the equilibrium configuration model of rural environment management from the local government, farmers, non-governmental organizations and township enterprises, and research the equilibrium relationship between the four aspects; By the parameters of environmental quality, this dissertation demonstrates equilibrium configuration of environmental management from Angle of economic endogenous growth。...
