“…The SLF proposed by the DFID in 1997 has been the most widely used method for livelihood capital research in recent years (Bebbington, 1999;Bhandari, 2013;Kuang et al, 2020;Yin et al, 2020). Livelihood capital mainly originated from the extensive research on poverty conducted by Chambers and Conway (1992).…”

“…By studying the destruction and disappearance of mangrove forests, Orchard et al (2016) found that local residents depended on mangrove systems to obtain income, maintain their livelihood and cope with changes, which provide significant contributions to the livelihood of the poor. Therefore, it is essential to attach importance to the diversification of farmers' livelihood methods, which can effectively protect the livelihood capital security of individual residents and even families (You and Zhang, 2017;Nicod et al, 2020;Wu et al, 2020;Yin et al, 2020).…”

“…Previous studies have mainly used the sustainable livelihood framework (SLF) proposed by the Department for International Development (DFID) in 1997 to carry out empirical research on changes in farmers' livelihood (Bebbington, 1999;Kuang et al, 2020;Yin et al, 2020). The SLF was mainly used to study the livelihood of farmers in poverty-stricken areas (Gentle and Maraseni, 2012;Liu and Xu, 2016;Deng et al, 2020), the livelihood of land-lost farmers (Nguyen and Kim, 2020) and various factors that affect residential livelihood (Liu et al, 2018;Nicod et al, 2020).…”

To restore and protect the ecosystem service function of coastal zones, some farmers have changed their certain original production methods and lifestyles and some have even relinquished a portion of the economic benefits that could be obtained directly. What impacts do the coastal zone ecological protection policies bring to the livelihoods of coastal farmers? The strict coastline protection of Beibu Gulf, Hepu County, Beihai City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, is taken as an example. Combined with the sustainable livelihood framework (SLF), this paper set up an evaluation index system for the livelihood capital of farmers in the Beibu Gulf coastal zone, obtaining 568 valid questionnaires through a field survey, and use the propensity score matching and difference-in-difference (PSM-DID) method to study the impacts of a coastal ecological protection policy on the livelihood capital of coastal farmers from the perspective of farmer participation. The results show that (1) the coastal ecological protection policy had a significant impact on the natural capital and social capital of coastal farmers that actively participated in coastal ecological protection, which increased by 0.181 and 0.052, respectively. (2) However, it did not have a significant impact on the total livelihood capital, human capital, physical capital or financial capital. Therefore, this paper presents policy suggestions for constructing coastal ecological compensation mechanisms and for promoting active participation by coastal farmers in coastal ecological protection efforts.

“…Adjustments in the agricultural structure is generally a first choice in transforming the rural mode. Farmers adjust the structure of traditional farming, reduce the consumption of natural resources, and adopt diversified modes to maintain local farmer livelihoods (Yin, Yang, & Chen, 2020). In many rural areas, pursuing high-yield agricultural products has become a basic feature of agriculture, however, this is difficult to achieve with the limitations of the traditional mode (Gautam & Andersen, 2016).…”

[Objective] An endogenous mode (EM) for beautiful rural construction (BRC) considers the transformation of rural endogenous energy, and the rational choice of a Rural Revitalization Strategy (RRS). The driving force creating the endogenous mode comes from an actor network process, which is composed of new technology, new industry, and new business forms. The EM is also a process by which the combination of innovations by multiple actors replaces traditional simple exogenous innovation. [Methods] Focusing on Dalishu village (DLS) in China as a case study, this research analyzed the characteristics of endogenous energy transformation in an actor-network node into an endogenous mode of BRC, using a social network analysis method. This paper proposes the theoretical framework of an EM for BRC, which integrates all stakeholders, and promotes the transformation of the BRC mode from materialized productivity to the post-productivity of shared experiential services. [Result] EM is closely related to actor-network construction. The more centrally located the actor node is, the greater the transformation energy is, the higher the transformation efficiency is. The stronger the central potential of the entire network is, the stronger the sustainability of the endogenous mode is. [Conclusion] When considering the five strategic objectives of supply side structural reform, it is important to adjust the strong and weak relationships among different actors, strengthen the interaction among actors across network nodes, and improve the high-quality efficiency of EM. Cultivating actors with high transformation efficiency, strengthening the relationship between network participants, and planning and building a shared space can promote the role and change the status of actors, improving the efficiency of EM.
