“…Social assets remained in the models of the entire area and the service support area, exerting a significant impact on farmer income in both cases, which is consistent with the results of most previous studies [45,61,62,65,68,[81][82][83]. However, social assets had no significant impact on the income of residents in the core attraction area and secondary service support area, which is in line with the view of Myroniuk that "social assets do not necessarily affect income" [65].…”

Livelihood assets have a significant impact on the livelihood options and income of tourism communities. The level of tourism development and the type of natural tourism communities often exhibit spatial differences. By using the method of sustainable livelihood and examining the main factors that affect community income from the perspective of spatial heterogeneity, it is possible to identify the livelihood assets that play the most critical role in the development of sustainable livelihoods and income generation in the community, which helps provide more reasonable advice on tourism destination management. In this article, we conducted a case study on 16 communities in and around Jiuzhaigou Nature Reserve in Sichuan Province, China, and divided the communities into three types, i.e., core attraction areas, service support areas, and secondary service support areas, according to the geographical and spatial characteristics, tourism development level, and livelihood type. The participatory assessment method was adopted to obtain in-depth interviews and questionnaire data from 256 rural households, which was utilized to construct four multivariate regression models to investigate the effect of livelihood assets on community income and the spatial difference of the factors that affect community income. The results showed that (1) livelihood assets exert a significant impact on community income in tourist areas, with a remarkable spatial difference; (2) the types of livelihoods and the effective utilization of livelihood assets have a significant impact on farmers' incomes; (3) the type and amount of livelihood assets have a certain impact on the choice of livelihood; and (4) a farmer's livelihood type determines the utilization method and the effective utilization of livelihood assets.

“…The impact of reduces water flow into the Saskatchewan River Delta is a large reduction in the community's ability to trap animals and hunt, all traditional activities and local food sources. The findings align with an international study completed by Nguyen et al, [41], which reveals that dams have substantial impacts on the natural environment, namely, reduced downstream sediment deposition, impaired fish migration, reduced and altered timing of river flow, and flooded upland reservoir areas with associated impacts.…”

The term “water security” continues to gain traction in water resources literature with broad application to human health, water quality, and sustainability of water supply. These western science applications focus almost exclusively on the material value of water for human uses and activities. This paper offers voice to other interpretations of water security based on semi-structured interviews with Indigenous participants representing varied backgrounds and communities from Saskatchewan, a Canadian prairie province. The results indicate that water security from an Indigenous perspective embraces much more than the material value of water. Five themes emerged from this research that speak to a more holistic framing of water security to include water as a life form, water and the spirit world, women as water-keepers, water and human ethics, and water in Indigenous culture. This broader interpretation provides a more nuanced understanding of water security, which serves to enrich the water security narrative while educating western science.

“…Natural capital in our paper is measured at the household level and defined the natural capital as cultivated land and forest land. NGUYEN et al (2017) demonstrated that the more cultivated land the household have the more possible returns the household can get in a village in central Vietnam. Generally, more cultivated land the household have means they can allocate more land for plantation of economics plants to earn more returns than planting rice, and less likely to immerse in poverty (HUANG et al, 2006).China is a country with very complicated terrain with geographical features characterized by mountains, hills, plateaus, and deserts, and the cultivated land is distributed unevenly over the country.…”

Livelihood capitals on income inequality among rural households: evidence from China

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We used the data of the China Labor-force Dynamics Survey 2014 to examine the effects of livelihood capitals which include natural, material, human, financial, and social capitals on total household income, per capita income, agricultural income, wage income, operational income, and property income inequality among rural households in China. Results showed that different kinds of livelihood capitals have different effects on different types of rural households’ income. Specifically; (1) although, the area of cultivated land reduces agricultural income inequality, it increases per capita income inequality. (2) Forest land area enlarges per capita income inequality and total household income inequality. (3) Tractor variable reduces inequality in agricultural income and total household income. (4) While reducing the property income inequality, education variable enlarges the wage income inequality, the per capita income inequality and the total household income inequality. (5) Book variable reduces property income inequality. (6) Loan variable increases inequality in agricultural incomes. (7) Party variable reduces the agricultural income inequality. (8) Although, the internet variable increases agricultural income inequality, and property income inequality, it reduces wage income inequality, operational income inequality, per capita income, and total household income inequality.
