Study Of The Systematic Assessment Of Conversion Program Of Cropland To Forest In China

The Conversion Program of Cropland to Forest is such an ecological program which has the widest outreach,the biggest scale,the most input,the strongest policy and the closest relationship with peasants in the history of ecological construction of forestry and grass industry of China.The policy of conceding land to forestry is a public policy which has extensive and far-reaching influence.It has very important practical significance to analyze and evaluate the policy of conceding land to forestry using policy-evaluation method.The research object is integrated process of the policy of conceding land to forestry.That is setting the constitution,execution and effect of the policy of conceding land to forestry as analysis and evaluation objects,using the analysis framework of public policy for reference,basing on the data of "Monitoring Report of the social and economical benefits of national forestry key projects",using the multiple objective analysis to systematical analyze and evaluate the policy of conceding land to forestry,then establishing analysis and evaluation system and specific evaluation index to estimate integrated effect of the policy of conceding land to forestry in order to promote sustainable development of the policy of conceding land to forestry and provide reference for government.The first chapter,preface generally arranges the whole-length research framework and specifically introduces the research background,objects,purpose,significance and process.The second chapter is a brief retrospection and summary of research status of the policy of conceding land to forestry both home and abroad.It also systematically summarizes fundamental theories corresponding to the analysis and evaluation of the policy of conceding land to forestry which lay the foundation of following research work.The third chapter firstly introduces the brief programming of conceding land to forestry and the programming process,then analyzes the policy system of conceding land to forestry and put forward the estimation framework of conceding land to forestry which includes the evaluation process,principle, content,index system and specific methods.From the forth chapter to the seventh chapter,a whole-process analysis and evaluation has been done from three separate perspectives:constitution, execution and effect by using the logical framework of public policy.The forth chapter mainly reviews the macroscopic and microscopic background in order to reveal the necessity and significance of constitution of the policy of conceding land to forestry.The fifth chapter stresses execution of the policy and its tracks,deflection of execution progress and its cause and solution.The sixth chapter analyzes and evaluates the effect of the policy of conceding land to forestry from actualization of ecological goals,influence to peasants' income,social and economic structure of rural areas and food security.By using multiple objective estimation,the seventh chapter establishes a systematical evaluation index system based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process and the policy goals,and then estimates the effect of the policy of conceding land to forestry.The eighth chapter summarizes the main conclusions and innovations of whole research and put forward policy proposal to promote sustainable development of the project of conceding land to forestry.In closing,the main research conclusions are as follows:a) the policy of conceding land to forestry is a public policy which are necessary to be discussed using public policy analysis framework from public policy perspective;b) constitution of the policy has its necessity,significance and rationality;c) the policy system progresses dynamically and becomes more consummate with the process of corresponding projects;d) execution of the policy is favorable generally,but there are some deflection on the conceding amount,conceding outlay and conceding effect.The main reason is that design of the policy is deficient and the management is imperfect;e) effect of the policy is significant:ecological goals of policy design achieve well and peasants' income increases,the regulation of rural industrial structure is promoted and its threat towards food security becomes more and more slight,f) the general estimation result to the effect of the policy indicates that the integrate effect is significant and the project of conceding land to forestry should keep going on.Meanwhile,there are several policy proposals as follows:a) improving the participation in constitution of the policy;b) coordinating the relationship better between ecological goals,economical goals and social goals of the project;c) regulating the demonstration,supervision,coordination and feedback mechanism;d) optimizing supporting policies of the project to ensure integrity and systematization of the policy setup and sustainability of the project process.Key innovation points of the research are:a) systematical and whole-process evaluation to the policy of conceding land to forestry from its constitution,execution and effect by using the analysis framework of public policy;b) integrated and quantized evaluation to multiple effects of the policy of conceding land to forestry based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process.
