The battle against poverty has been an important part of governance at all times and in most countries. In China, targeted poverty alleviation is another great and profound historical change taking place in rural areas, following the reform of rural land system and the household contract responsibility system. Tibet has been one of the largest ethnic areas where the population of extreme poverty occupied some of its part. Besides, the relocation of rural poor in Tibet has many limitations due to its regional specificities and various historic backgrounds. Based on the analysis of the policy, this paper summarized the progress of relocating poor people from inhospitable areas in Tibet. Then, with the research data of 1,739 relocated farm households in the resettlement sites, we studied the satisfaction among the relocated people about the policy and factors influencing the satisfaction based on ordered logit model. The marginal effects of each factor have also been analyzed. Finally, we concluded the practical experience of relocation in Tibet, and proposed several suggestions for promoting the policy, and thereby integrating the relocation for poverty alleviation with rural revitalization strategies effectively.
