The Process And Mechanism Of Disaster Relief, Reconstruction And Development To Poverty-stricken Communities

Rural community is the earliest form, and the main place in which China's farmers live. After the reforms and opening up, for various reasons, farmers always has been in a weak status in the interaction with the outside world. The legitimate rights of farmers were not guaranteed, and conflicts between farmers and outside were intensified, which affect the development of rural community. In the new century, the state has entered the period which industry nurtures agriculture, cities support the countryside, the rural and urban coordinated each other for development. In agriculture, health, education and other areas, government introduced a number of policies to benefit the farmers, which have been boosting the community development. The policies and resources come to the countryside, enabling the conflicts between farmers and the outside to be weakened. Instead, the cooperative relationship has been improving gradually.There is large areas overlap between Wenchuan earthquake and poverty-stricken areas, and poverty-stricken rural communities were severely damaged by the earthquake. The disaster relief and reconstruction of poverty-stricken rural communities are extremely concerned by CPC Central Committee and the State Council, all sectors of society have also provided reinforcement. Policies and resources of reconstruction are advantageous for cooperation between poverty-stricken rural communities and supporters, facilitating reconstruction-after-disaster of poverty-stricken villages.This thesis detailedly describes the whole process of earthquake relief work, reconstruction and development after the disaster of Makou Village. And by building an explanative frame of legitimacy base for cooperation between the farmers and the outside, it analyzes the cooperative mechanism between communities of poverty-stricken villages. In the phase of relief period, the elites gathered the people to remove off the danger, creating the mechanism to fairly distributing the relief supplies, building temporary shelters. The plan which roads, housing, infrastructure, irrigation facilities and agriculture industry development etc in the rural community was drawn up and implemented, during the reconstruction-after-disaster stage. The facilities of the village were restored and improved. One of the features of the cooperation between Makou village and supporters is the organizational characteristics. The supporting departments organized a headquarter reckoning the district government as the core and the counties as the units. The headquarter set up many working groups to build the organizational mechanism of department cooperation via the guidance of the district government and the coordination of the Office of Poverty Relief, enabling each unit cooperated one another and the effective combination between reconstruction resources and resources of benefiting farmers, which maximize the efficiency for the suffering areas. Systematism motivated by the kernel resource appears in the process of reconstruction. Moreover, by democratic voting to organizing the general group and sub-group of each project, the continuity of project implementation and the integrity of community reconstruction can be taken. Meanwhile, organizational approach is created for people participation in the construction. In addition, this thesis, in the new period of rural community development, indicates that to build a relationship between farmers and outside world is necessary and, the cooperation has gradually become the important power for sustainable development to boosting rural communities (particularly the poverty-stricken villages). And, the elites from the type-of-enterprise-operation villages such as Wang Xianlie, in the case, are the important power for boosting cooperation between farmers and the outside world.
