2/3of China’s current total population living in rural areas, majority of population living atthe edge of oasis economic zone, located far from the center of the city and with poor naturalconditions local peasants.

Recently, peasant’s income began to get improved a lot,with the development of the social and economy, but there have still been manyproblems emerged.

Compare the Xinjiang farmer’ssituation with the national peasants, it can be seen that the income gap betweenXinjiang peasants and national peasants is indeed expanding. One of the majorreasons leading to such a gap is Xinjiang’s unique natural and geographical conditions.Poor geographic conditions made the oasis economy into a closed self-loop form. Dueto the geographical restrictions, there is existing less economic ties between oasisblocks, in this way, formed a relatively closed oasis, self-reproduction, self-survivaland self-development of the peasants formed Closed self-loop oasis economy. Since the beginning of reform and opening up policy this situation improved a lot, butXinjiang, as a less developed minority areas, agricultural proportion is very high, totaleconomic output is very small, transportation accessibility is poor, towns are difficultto develop into a city, and these directly affect the income of peasants and lead to thepeasants income gap. Because of these, study the impact of geographical factors onpeasants income in the arid areas has great significance to build a harmonious society,promote economic development, change livelihood of the people and solve thepoverty problems.
