Research On The Livelihood Of Herdsmen In Mining Areas Under The Framework Of Vulnerability-resistance Analysis

Since the beginning of the new century,the social work’s attention to sustainable development has provided a new perspective for examining the impact of industrial and mining development in the pastoral areas of Inner Mongolia in my country.With the continuous acceleration of China’s modern industrialization process,the demand for energy resources is also increasing.As the pastoral area of??Inner Mongolia,which is rich in mineral resources,it has also become the target of vigorous development.With the progress of industrial and mining development,the local economy has rapidly improved,but there are negative costs hidden behind it.Herdsmen,as the main body of pastoral areas,not only have not increased their income in the process of industrial and mining development,they are also facing ecological and social fragility.Sexual risks,and there are also certain deficiencies in the resilience of herders and communities.This research uses vulnerability-resilience as the analytical framework,and selects the W flag copper mining area in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region as a case.Starting from the vulnerability of the local pastoral area,it uses on-site interviews and observations to explore the livelihood vulnerability and multiple subjects of herdsmen Participate in the process of resilience.The case study shows that the livelihoods of W Banner herders are both fragile in terms of ecological and social environments,and there is a certain lack of resilience at the herder and community levels.In the context of industrial and mining development and vulnerability,herdsmen’s livelihood costs have increased,production methods have changed,and the sustainability of their livelihoods have weakened.The community culture has been impacted by the industrial and mining economy,and the development of community organizations has been weak.In view of this,this research puts forward suggestions to improve the resilience of herders from three levels of herders,communities,and governments,with a view to reducing the risk of herders’ vulnerability and promoting the sustainable development of livelihoods.
