Abstract
The Kubuqi Desert is the seventh-largest desert in China. Under the leadership of the central, autonomous region and local governments, the ecological situation has undergone historic changes. In this paper, we select Hangjin Banner and Dalate Banner, which have the most widely distributed deserts and use 347 households as the research perspective to construct the evaluation index system of the government's ecological environment governance effect. The entropy method is used to evaluate the governance effect, and the ordinary least squares and quantile regression are used to compare the evaluation differences of different publics. The research found the following. (1) The public believes that the government's ecological governance measures have achieved good results in the third-level index analysis. The ecological environment in the desert area has been significantly improved; that is, the survival rate of trees has increased, the area of vegetation coverage and vegetation types have increased, and the frequency of sandstorms has decreased. However, the intensity of sandstorms and the flow of water sources did not change significantly. The various types of public income have increased significantly compared to before the governance. The public takes the ecological priority as the concept and actively participates in the government's governance implementation, which means that the ecological awareness and behavior are higher. (2) Among the second-level index, the weights and scores in descending order are public economic characteristics: 45.53% and 0.4840, public ecological behavior: 25.62% and 0.1682, public ecological effect perception: 18.35% and 0.1240, and public ecological awareness: 10.51% and 0.0291. The comprehensive evaluation result is 0.8054, which is in the first grade, and the effect is excellent. (3) The public comprehensive evaluation results of the two regions are similar. Hangjin Banner is 0.8209 and Dalate Banner is 0.8557, both in the first grade. The effect is excellent. (4) In the OLS regression results, gender has a significant positive impact on evaluating the government's ecological environment governance effect. Age, ethnicity, and occupation have a significant negative impact. As the quintile increases, the influence of gender, age, and ethnicity first increases and then decreases. The maximum regression coefficient of gender at the 50% quantile is 0.714, which has a significant positive effect. Age has a significant negative impact at each quantile. The regression coefficient of ethnicity at the 50% quantile is the highest -0.357, which has a significant negative impact. Occupation only has a significant negative impact at the low quintile.
Highlights
In today’s increasingly severe ecological environment problems, countries worldwide are actively exploring ways to realize the rational development and utilization of environmental resources
The ecological environment management of the Kubuqi Desert has become a representative case in environmental environment management, sand prevention, and control in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China, and even the world
To achieve the expected environmental goals, managers should prevent and control the pollution impacts produced in social and economic development to achieve the unity of economical, social, and ecological benefits [1]. e United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) pointed out how to make environmental decisions and who makes decisions. is process is called environmental governance [2]. at is to say, environmental governance is the exercise of power over natural resources and the environment, including the decision-making process of laws and public institutions such as government agencies and village committees to make power specific
Summary
In today’s increasingly severe ecological environment problems, countries worldwide are actively exploring ways to realize the rational development and utilization of environmental resources. In the 1990s, vegetation construction was regarded as the most significant infrastructure construction During this period, the Kubuqi region implemented various ecological and economical projects following “resource development and environmental protection” principles, adapted to local conditions, classified guidance, regional implementation, and gradient promotion [4]. The evaluation of ecological governance effects from the public’s perspective includes analytic hierarchy process (AHP) decision analysis method [15], analytic hierarchy process (AHP)-fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) method [16], entropy method [17, 18], etc. Different methods have their advantages and disadvantages.
