Abstract

Traditional researches have reduction strategies of poverty. With the application of concepts such as “ability” and “risk” in the field of poverty research, households’ vulnerability has become new perspective of poverty research because of its forward-looking perspective in recent years, it can also effectively reduce local residents' dependence on local natural resources, reduce environmental pressure and improve environmental quality. Livelihood vulnerability research can provide risk early warning and achieve targeted assistance prediction for the livelihood vulnerability of households. It also influences the sustainable development of economy and ecology. Studies of vulnerability to poverty are mainly aimed at the meaning and the measurement of poverty and ecological protection. Domestic literatures combined with actual situation have mostly drawn lessons on foreign to empirical tests with relevant survey data. Taking northern Tibet in Tibet Autonomous Region as the research area, this paper constructed an evaluation index of vulnerability of poor households from three aspects: risk, livelihood capital and adaptability. We used household index data to analyze the key factors that affect the vulnerability of poor farmers based on the comprehensive index method and according to the divisions of sustainable livelihood framework of livelihood capital. The aim of the study was to provide references for effectively distinguishing vulnerable groups of poor farmers, and establishing and adjusting the policy of rural poverty alleviation, and, at the same time, it can effectively improve the local ecological environment and enhance the environmental ecological carrying capacity.
