Research On Lateral Transfer Payment Of Xiang River

The upper tributary of the Xiang River is rich in water and natural resources. It is an important zone of conservation of water resources in protecting ecological environment. And it bears the responsibility of providing normal water. With the high-priced ecological environment quality, not only the upper reaches of the Xiang River, but also all the region of the Xiang River will get more benefit.The work of protecting the water resource of the upper tributary of the Xiang River faces many problems, such as the pressures of socio-economic development, the predicament of industrial development and so on. But the existing vertical transfer payment system fails to properly solve these problems. This is reflected in: the environment funds invested in the upper tributary of the Xiang River can’t satisfied the actual demand, financial transfer payment is decentralized and doesn’t form a cohesive force on the environment, the supply of public service between upper and lower regions of the Xiang River is widely varied. Therefore, the establishment of Xiang River lateral transfer payment system and the promotion of the coordinated and sustainable development of the Xiang River is very important.Combinating he theoretical contents of lateral transfer payments, the public goods theory, the externality theory and the environmental theory, we can get the theoretical basis that of the establishment of Xiang River lateral transfer payment system. The effect of lateral transfers can fully confirm that lateral transfer payment system can promote the win-win between upper and lower regions of the Xiang River.The internal and external practices of lateral transfer payment system fully indicate its feasibility and superiority. Obtained by some analysis ,we can get the practical conditions of the establishment of Xiang River lateral transfer payment system: the clear protected areas at the upper end and benefited areas at the lower end in the relatively independent drainage areas, the promoter action of the project of "two types of society", and the fairly big gaps in the economic production and financial capability between upper and lower regions of the Xiang River. Combined with the actual situation of the Xiang River, this article focuses on introducing how to constitute the framework of the Xiang River. A lateral transfer payment system mainly includes: the fundamental principles of the implementation, the range and the forms, the determination of the amount of transfer payments, the operation mechanism and management mechanism. And the emphasis should be he determination of the transfer payments of the lower end of the Xiang River.
