“…Third, these results provide new insights into how farmland lease-out affects rural household livelihood, and therefore complements the former conclusions that farmland lease affects livelihood [58][59][60]. This study contributes to the literature by improving our understanding of the influence of land on the livelihood framework.…”

Rapid urbanization and the gradual disappearance of urban and rural barriers have accelerated rural surplus labor migration. This study focused on the rural household’s livelihood from the perspective of farmland lease-out. Using 382 rural households’ data in Jiangxi Province, we used the seemingly unrelated regression and binary logistic models to analyze the impact of farmland lease-out on rural households’ livelihood capital and livelihood strategy. The results indicated that farmland lease-out did not affect rural households’ human capital but had a negative impact on social capital, natural capital and future life expectation, and had a positive impact on financial capital and physical capital. Farmland lease-out had a significant negative impact on agricultural pluriactivity-type livelihood strategies, while having a significant positive impact on off-farm employment livelihood strategies. In addition, the scale of farmland lease-out had a positive impact on the off-farm pluriactivity and off-farm employment livelihood strategies.

Floods, ever since the dawn of human civilization, have been seen as causes of massive disasters. Since its onset, the influence of human activity has increased, making this calamity more severe. Vulnerability to flooding is complex and multifaceted and it is a matter of critical importance. Since the scale of damage changes with location and with time, determining how susceptible a community is to flooding is of paramount importance. The research is an effort to summarize the methods developed to evaluate flood risk. By examining the authors and terms most commonly cited in the works of others, actionable tactics were uncovered. High-resolution data and a multidimensional approach to vulnerability assessment can enhance current procedures and strategies for estimating flood risk. This research recommends merging hydrodynamic models, geospatial methodologies for flood assessment to present a more complete view of flood vulnerability. It is potentially helpful in identifying methodological inadequacies for measuring flood risk at various geographical scales. The study analyzes several vulnerability components. This research has the potential to fill critical knowledge gaps in our understanding of how to measure exposure to flood risk across a variety of geographical scales.

How fishermen produce and live has been a hot topic of academic concern in recent years. However, existing research has focused excessively on marine fishermen. Inland fisheries make a significant but often overlooked contribution to rural livelihoods in developing countries. In this paper, we constructed a framework for fishermen’s livelihood strategies and used questionnaires and in-depth interviews to study 275 households of inland fishermen in a professional fishing village at Poyang Lake. The results show that (1) the impact of the comprehensive fishing ban has led to significant changes in the livelihood capital of inland fishermen, leading to fishermen being forced to change their livelihood strategies. (2) The current livelihood strategies can be divided into four categories, which are non-fishing employment, self-employment, public welfare positions and retirement respectively. (3) Livelihood capital such as age, education, social interaction and fishing rights influence their choice of livelihood strategies. (4) The fishing ban proposal generally meets the interests of fishermen, but there is some capacity for improvement in terms of implementation details and policy flexibility. Based on these findings, we recommend that the government conducts further in-depth research and adjusts and improves its policy options in good time. To the satisfaction of all parties, the current policy protects the environment and achieves sustainable human development, making Chinese contributions and proposing Chinese plans to address global environmental change.
