With global warming,environment worsening and biodiversity decreasing sharply. People face to the rigorous environmental problem. Establishing nature reserves is the important measurements of ecological and environmental protection. However, there are certain conflict between the Nature reserve establishment and the surrounding community development. Especially how to solving the problem of the employment and income of the surrounding communities'farmers effectively is becoming the sticking point of constructing nature reserve and developing the surrounding community.The purpose of this article is taking the example of zhejiang nature reserve to analyze and evaluate the composition of the empolyment and income of the surrounding farmers whom belonging to the different grade nature reserve (national and provincial) or the different locations of the same nature reserve (such as buffer zone, experimental area and the periphery in the same nature reserve). Then taking the method of metric model to analyze the kinds of influencial factors about whether the peripheral farmers of nature reserve participate in non-farm works, to providing the reference of making the reasonable managing policy for nature reserve.The results indicate that:(1)Considering the income level, the peripheral farmers'income of national nature reserve is higher than those in provincial nature reserve, and the outer farmers'income of nature reserve is higher than those located in nature reserve area. (2)Judging from income composition, non-agricultural income is the main source of their household income; the forestry income proportion of the peripheral farmers who locate in the national nature reserve is higher than those farmers in provincial nature reserve, but the agricultural income of provincial natural reserves is higher than those farmers in the national nature reserve; the forestry income proportion of the farmers who locate in the nature reserve is higher than those outer farmers, but the agricultural income of the outer farmer is higher than those farmers in the nature reserve. (3) Considering the employment composition, non-farm works is the main empolyment for the farm household; the forestry working time of the peripheral farmers who locate in the national nature reserve is higher than those farmers in the provincial nature reserve, but the agricultural working time of peripheral farmers who locate in the national nature reserve is lower than those farmers in the provincial nature reserve; the forestry working time of the farmers who locate in the nature reserve is higher than those outer farmers.Some suggestions: (1) strengthening technical training to the peripheral farmers of the nature reserve to improve ablity of the non-farm capability and opportunity of the surrounding farmers'households. (2) Our countries should increase the compensation to the peripheral farmers of the nature reserve or take the method of ecological immigratiion. (3) Developing distinctive agriculture and forestry industry to reduce the farmers'dependence on forest resources, and improve the income level of the surrounding farmers.
