“…The existence of administrative boundaries and fragmented policies further lead to high market barriers and transaction costs (Gao & Long, 2014 ). Hence, according to transaction cost theory, on the one hand, it is necessary to reduce transportation costs by improving transportation accessibility (Huang & Zong, 2020 ); on the other hand, it is necessary to reduce market segmentation by establishing a Nanling economic cooperation zone (Zhou, 2005 ). The establishment of a Nanling economic cooperation zone is conducive to coordinating policies within the region and forming a unified large market, which can promote the reasonable flow of goods, capital, talents, technology and other factors of production by reducing transaction costs (Mihaela & Moga, 2012 ; Wu et al, 2021 ).…”

China has made remarkable achievements in solving absolute poverty and entered into the stage of solving relative poverty which takes on multidimensional characteristics. Solving multidimensional relative poverty is the key to promoting social equity and achieving coordinated development. Based on the data of ten counties in the Nanling Yao ethnic group area in China from 2011 to 2018, we used the entropy weight method to study the degree, main influencing dimensions and distribution of multidimensional relative poverty. We found that external risk contributed the most to multidimensional relative poverty, followed by internal risk, economic development opportunity and potential development opportunity. Counties with moderate multidimensional relative poverty accounted for the largest proportion, multidimensional relative poverty was not significantly alleviated from 2011 to 2018, but some counties have different multidimensional relative poverty levels. In order to solve the multidimensional relative poverty, it is necessary to establish a Nanling economic cooperation zone, develop characteristic industries and focus on supporting counties with deep multidimensional relative poverty.

“…In recent years, increasing studies focused on China to explore the effects of big push of transport investments on accessibility, as well as the spatial disparities in different parts of China have been revealed (Huang & Zong, 2020; Shaw and Fang et al., 2014; Wang & Zhang, 2019; Xu and Zhou et al., 2018). However, there is a gap in terms of illustrating ethnic disparity of accessibility, as well as the possible influence of ethnic composition on accessibility, which is also a part of challenges of accessibility research (Wee BV, 2016).…”

Tibet is the main consist of the Tibetan Plateau and also inhabited by minorities in China. How to promote its road accessibility and narrow the gap between different ethnic groups should draw more attention. This study analyzes both territorial accessibility (At) and potential accessibility (Ap) in Tibet from 2010 to 2020, as well as the disparities within and between main ethnic groups, exploring whether ethnic minorities undertook the accessibility disparity or loss. The findings are as follows: (1) At and Ap are characterized by a center‐periphery structure with a remarkably improvement and spatial difference from 2010 to 2020. The disparity between counties tends to widen slightly, whereas the increment of At shows the opposite feature. (2) The Hui and Han ethnic groups enjoy better accessibility than Tibetans, and the other ethnic minorities have insufficient accessibility, though with prominent improvement. The disparity in At within ethnic groups is smaller but tends to widen; by contrast, that of Ap is larger but tends to narrow. The Hui ethnic group enjoys relative equal accessibility, which tends to be more so, while Tibetans face unequal accessibility with no obvious improvement. (3) The proportion of Tibetans is negatively correlated with the improved accessibility, but those of the other ethnic minorities are positively correlated with the increment of At, indicating that the accessibility improvement in Tibet tilts to the ethnic minorities in remote areas. The overall spatial disparities in accessibility in Tibet tend to widen, but this does not totally apply to those between and within ethnic groups. Nonetheless, the construction of transport infrastructure alone may not be able to achieve equality. Above results may provide reference for related research and policy making for remote and minority areas in China and other similar regions.

“…For many years, China has attached great importance to poverty management in ethnic areas. However, due to the poor ecological environment, frequent natural disasters, a weak industrial base, and insufficient endogenous motivation for the self-development of poor subjects, ethnic areas have a high degree of vulnerability and a high incidence of relative poverty, making the task of consolidating the effectiveness of poverty eradication all the more urgent and arduous [ 1 ]. China has consistently emphasized the need to solidly promote common prosperity, especially in the new stage of development, and has focused on guaranteeing stable poverty eradication and establishing a long-term mechanism for the governance of relative poverty.…”

Reducing multidimensional relative poverty is one of the important issues in the current global poverty governance field. This article takes 12 ethnic regions in China as the research object and constructs a multidimensional relative poverty measurement system. The calculated multidimensional relative poverty index is decomposed according to provinces, cities, dimensions, and indicators. Then, the Dagum Gini coefficient and convergence analysis are used to analyze spatiotemporal heterogeneity and convergence characteristics. The results show that the multi-dimensional relative poverty situation of various provinces in ethnic minority areas has improved from 2012 to 2021, among which Tibet province is the most serious and Shaanxi is the best. According to the analysis of convergence, it was observed that there is no σ-convergence of multidimensional relative poverty in ethnic areas in general, and there is absolute β-convergence in general and in the southwest and northwest regions, and there is no absolute β-convergence in the northeast region. Based on this, policy recommendations for reducing multidimensional relative poverty are proposed at the end of the article. Compared with previous studies, this article focuses on ethnic regions that are easily overlooked. Starting from the dimensions of economy, social development, and ecological environment, the poverty measurement system has been enriched.
