The history of economic development and social progress in any country is a history of gradually getting rid of poverty and poverty eradication.To human society now has developed to a very high stage, people's living standards improved significantly. Poverty still plaguing every country and region.Long term poor governance and strong measures to help the poor made our country achieve remarkable results.But in the past, the starting point of poverty alleviation policy and research is based on the fact that it has already happened. It is lack of knowledge about pre poverty and dynamic poverty.This is not conducive to a comprehensive understanding of whether fanners are poor, whether in the future will fall into poverty.Vulnerability to poverty provide us a good perspective, which can measure the degree of change in the future farmer families suffered the impact of the risk level of benefit in advance, in order to predict the likelihood of poor farmers.And in the factors that determine the vulnerability to poverty of farmers'households, the capital stock is the most important reason.Farmers more capital, stronger ability to resist risk. Among them, the social capital is considered after the physical capital and human capital of third kinds of capital.The important relationship between the social capital and the household income and ability has been proved by many scholars.The Tibetan region of Sichuan and Yunnan is the main battlefield of the new era of poverty alleviation, Tibetan peasant poverty degree is deep and anti poverty rate is high.In the face of risk, the ability to resist risks is insufficient. Whether family social capital can play the role of anti poverty is worthy of further study.Therefore, this paper takea the Tibetan region of Sichuan and Yunnan Sichuan as an example, focusing on peasant family social capital status, vulnerability to poverty and the relationship of them, in order to provide practice and theoretical support for the further promotion of poor governance of our country.This study use dynamic poverty ands ocial capital theory.on the basis of investigation to Litang County and Shangri La city.to conduct a comprehensive analysis for Tibetan farmers' social capital in terms of structural social capital and cognitive social capital.After using the vulnerability as expected poverty (VEP) method and feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) to measure the vulnerability to poverty index,the results were analyzed and evaluated.And the multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the impact of social capital on the vulnerability to poverty of rural households.Finally, based on the theoretical analysis and empirical analysis results, the relevant policy recommendations are put forward to strengthen the social capital and reduce the vulnerability to poverty.Through above research, this paper figures out following conclusions: (1 Vulnerability to poverty is a forward-looking indicator, different from traditional poverty recognized standards and more likely to show that the family is in a state of poverty in the future.(2)The Tibetan farmers'social capital in general is less, the quality is not high, the structural social capital is lack, the social network is closed, the cognitive social capital is abundant, but the homogeneity is high.(3) In the calculation of the Tibetan household vulnerability to poverty index, it is generally high and obvious differences duo to different regions, different family characteristics.(4) Whether the structural social capital and cognitive social capital have a significant effect on household vulnerability to poverty.Through analysis, this paper puts forward some suggestions.Firstly, establishing dynamic poverty consciousness,building the risk warning mechanism and focusing on Tibetan vulnerability to poverty.Secondly, expanding the network space of structural social capital, enhancing cognitive social capital heterogeneity and improving the level of the Tibetan farmers' socia capital.Thirdly,Adhering to the precise poverty and reducing the Tibetan household vulnerability to poverty rate.Fourth, cultivate social capitalpromoting the transformation of social resources and exerting the influence of social capital on the Tibetan household vulnerability to poverty.
