The Realistic Dilemma and Implementation Path of Campus Football Development in Minority Areas under the Background of Rural Revitalization Strategy

On February 25, 2021, the National Poverty Alleviation Commendation Conference solemnly announced to the world that poverty alleviation has achieved comprehensive victory. Rural revitalization strategy is the new era to accelerate rural development, promote the integration of urban and rural development of the general starting point, the proposal of rural revitalization for the development of rural sports to create favorable conditions, but also provides an important opportunity for the vigorous development of rural campus football. Under the guarantee of the national government, the poverty alleviation in ethnic minority areas has achieved initial results, but the geographical location of ethnic minority areas is remote, the distribution of personnel is relatively scattered, the educational environment is backward, and the teachers are insufficient, and many key problems still need to be "tailored". Campus football is the only way for the development of school sports in minority areas and a strong support for the high-quality development of school sports in rural areas. The development of campus football in minority areas is conducive to breaking the single physical education teaching mode in rural areas, promoting the all-round development of students' body and mind, awakening the sportsmanship of people in minority areas, and reducing the possibility of education in minority areas returning to poverty. Therefore, in combination with the national policy background of rural revitalization, this study investigates the difficulties and problems in the development of campus football in border minority areas by means of literature, questionnaire and field investigation, in order to analyze the predicament of campus football in minority areas, and aims to provide ideas for better development of campus football in minority areas.

Sustainable Development of Farmers in Minority Areas after Poverty Alleviation Relocation: Based on an Improved Sustainable Livelihood Analysis Framework

As an essential regional planning policy, poverty alleviation relocation has a significant impact on the regional economy, environment, and social well-being and is critical for sustainable development. Based on the development of minority areas in Yunnan, this study improves the traditional sustainable livelihood analysis framework and constructed a livelihood capital evaluation system including natural, physical, financial, social, human, and cultural capital. Furthermore, the measurement standard of sustainable livelihoods is proposed, which requires not only the enhancement of livelihood capital but also the coupling and coordinated development of all capital components. Based on the data of Menglai township from 2015 to 2021, this study estimates that farmers’ livelihood capital has increased after relocation, and the level of coupling and coordination has improved. Still, it has yet to reach extreme coordination. Hereafter, the theoretical framework of internal and external factors affecting livelihood capital is constructed, and the influencing factors of livelihood capital are obtained through regression analysis. This study provides a new tool for evaluating livelihood capital in minority areas, obtains new findings on the sustainable development of farmers’ livelihood capital after poverty alleviation relocation, and expands a new perspective for studying the influencing factors of livelihood capital.

Developing a Sustainable Business Model of Ecotourism in Ethnic-Minority Regions Guided by the Green Economy Concept

China as a relatively large group of ethnic minorities in a country, the existence of ethnic minorities on the development of society had a great impact. At present, mass tourism in minority areas has brought many positive benefits, but also produced negative effects such as environmental pollution, local culture extinction and over-commercialization, which affected the business model of sustainable development of tourism in minority areas. Therefore, this paper aims at optimizing the environment, culture, commercialization and other issues of tourism in ethnic minority areas, and promoting the sustainable development of tourism in ethnic minority areas. Using principal component analysis and high-order confirmatory factor analysis model, this paper discusses the basic situation of tourism environment in minority areas from the perspective of tourists’ cognition. Taking the 4A-level scenic spots in three emerging areas of China as a case study, this paper provides a reference for the future tourism development of emerging areas, and considers the impact of COVID-19 epidemic. Firstly, it introduces the current tourism development in emerging areas. Then, the scale is designed by high-order factor analysis. Six first-order factors and 31 s-order factors are used to analyze the perceived quality of tourists in ethnic areas. Finally, this paper evaluates the tourism development in minority areas through the above design. In this paper, a total of 863 random tourists are investigated. It is found that the perceived quality of tourists in emerging market areas is the inclusive perception and evaluation of tourists. It involves the supply of tourism enterprises, the service of tourism staff, infrastructure and public management, the life of community residents and personal tourism experience. This paper comprehensively evaluated the tourism development of emerging areas from the above six aspects, and provided reference for the future green sustainable development of tourism in emerging areas through factor analysis. The research results provide a reference for optimizing the basic mode of tourism environment, culture and commercialization in emerging areas. Meanwhile, it also contributes to optimizing the research methods of tourism development and user perception in emerging market areas.

With the iterative development of computer big data technology, it is applied to the survey of gender equality of ethnic minorities. It is found that at least half of them are at a higher level of gender inequality based on gender equality indicators, which indicates that there are big problems in social development and gender equality of ethnic minorities. Based on this, this paper first analyzes the current situation and problems of gender equality and social development of ethnic minorities, then carries out a survey of gender equality and social development of ethnic minorities based on computer big data, and finally gives the countermeasures and suggestions for gender equality and social development in minority areas.

Research on the Sustainable Development of Villages in China’s Minority Regions Promoted by Cultural Factors<br/>—A Case Study of Changyang Tujia Autonomous County in China

The harmonious and sustainable development of countryside is the key topic of current rural area development in China. The heterogeneity of the geographical environment results in the basis of diversified development modes of villages, besides, the regional differences of culture formed various “regional gene” in rural development. Under the background of cultural highlights and rural revival, cultural tourism has become a key factor of rural area development in minority regions, which featured by minority culture exhibitions and folk culture experiencing activities. Due to the impetus of the cultural tourism, both the introversive developing pattern in traditional rural areas and the social organization structure of these villages have been changed; nevertheless, this mode is bringing uncertain factors to rural areas development. This paper takes the villages of Tujia Autonomous County in Hubei Province as an example. Based on the historical development information of this region, the research tries to figure out the connotation of the Tujia culture; thereafter, the author attempts to generalize the core competitiveness of rural tourism through the activity planning of characteristic culture, which combined with rural industry development, social interaction, environmental renovation and rural reconstruction, to establish a sustainable development framework of the countryside. The study attempts to provide useful experience through this case to give some ideas on how to make breakthroughs on rural development in minority areas.

A dynamical system study for the ecological development of mineral resources in minority areas

The distribution of mineral resources in China is mainly concentrated in minority areas. However, the technology of mineral resources development in minority areas is relatively backward and the utilization rate isn't high. Unreasonable exploitation for mineral resources has caused tremendous damage of mining environment, which restricts the sustainable, healthy and stable development of mining areas. Therefore, how to construct the ecological industrial chain of mineral resources in minority areas has become an important issue of mining sustainable development. In this paper, a SD model with the characteristic of minority areas is established by constructing the dynamical system flowchart that takes mineral resources-environment-economy-society (MEES system) as the main research object based on system dynamics simulation, combination determining weights, and fuzzy sets, etc. In addition, taking Tibetan minority areas for an example, this paper predicts the tendency of the MEES system in the region. Meanwhile, this paper designs four different development modes to provide the operable choice and reference for exploiting the mineral resources in minority areas.

Reflections on the Difficulties of Educational Development in Minority Areas of Western China

At present, the development of education in western China’s rural and ethnic minority areas faces problems including the management of boarding schools, the education of left-behind children, and changing the functions of schools. Resolving these problems requires not only changing traditional ways of thinking, but also placing minority education in the context of reconstructing the ecology of cultural education in western China. It requires evaluation of the social and cultural effects and implementation by expanding the functions of school education.

The Problem of Science Education in Minority Areas—Based on a Study in Gansu Province of China

After 60 years of development, minority education not only has made great achievements in China, but also faces many problems. Among them is the problem of science education. The students learning in high school in the basic education in minority areas have faced particular difficulties in learning science. The teaching quality is not high, students generally fear the sciences and select the arts, and there is a structural imbalance in minority college student choices of majors. The proportion of minority college students in the arts and humanities far exceeds the proportion choosing the sciences. The minority science education problem has a great impact on both the economic and social development of minority areas and on improving the quality of minority education. In order to improve science education in minorities of China, this article proposes several suggestions: (1) Implement an open and integrated minority education system; (2) adjust the discipline structure at colleges serving ethnic minorities; and (3) improve basic science education in minority areas.

On the Laws and Causes of Socio-economic Territorial Differentiation in Minority Areas in China

Abstract On the basis of applying quantitative and qualitative approaches as well as GIS technology, this paper established an index system to make a comprehensive evaluation on socioeconomic development of minority areas in China. The result showed that socio-economic development in minority area presents a series of characteristics that the north is high and the south is low, center-margin pattern is obvious and the areas with middle and lower development indices are distributed centrally and continuously. However, the causes of the socioeconomic characteristics mainly include natural conditions, economic development basic, population cultural quality, regional combination and development conditions of mineral and energy resources, informal institutional factors and distribution of major traffic lines.

China’s Policies for Minority Nationalities in Higher Education: Negotiating National Values and Ethnic Identities

The last quarter of the twentieth century brought increasing tensions between those who demand local and those who demand national identities. In some cases these tensions led to the dissolution of nation-states along ethnic lines, as in the former Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. Because schools serve not only the economic but also the political integration needs of nation-states, the education system provides an arena within which to view the relations between national and ethnic identities. Political authorities and educators in many nations claim that their public educational systems are meant to provide disadvantaged minorities with educational and economic opportunities equal to those of the majority. Yet the challenge facing all systems is how schools can help minorities to gain access to a social and economic system that is dominated by the values of the majority while, at the same time, retaining their separate ethnic group cultures and identities. China’s approach to the problem of educating its more than 100 million minority nationalities is relevant to this question. With the world’s largest population and up to 100 different mother tongues, China grants numerous preferences to minorities. Since the 1980s preferential policies for minorities have been promoted in China toward decreasing differences in education and living standards as well as reducing tensions between various minority groups and the majority Han. These policies have the ultimate aim of ensuring ethnic stability, national integration, and economic development in minority areas. Such policies include bilingual education and university admissions quotas for minority applicants. This study explores China’s educational policies for ethnic minorities in one particular academic setting, the Central University for Nationalities (CUN) in Beijing, and how these policies are experienced by the students who are supposed to benefit from them. The study takes an emic perspective by looking at the perceptions of minority students at CUN on how these policies shape their social and economic opportunities and at how these
