Land, nature, and the social environment in contiguous poor regions are harsh and difficult to change. The poor adaptive capacities of the socio-ecological systems of these regions are the main causes of deep, persistent poverty. In February 2016, the Chinese government issued a policy proposing to promote poverty alleviation by relocation (PAR) by means of the “Linking increases in urban construction land with decreases in rural construction land” policy (or simply, the “Link Policy” or LP), which intends to realize the sustainable social and economic development of local villages. Since then, many pilot projects have been carried out across the country based on local resources, environment, and economic development; however, few related studies on these cases have been conducted. After a review of poverty alleviation policies, this paper first introduces the unsustainable conditions of poor rural areas and the implications and advantages of PAR under the Link Policy; we then analyzed the complete PAR process, including formulation, implementation, and completion, by taking Tongyu County in Jilin Province as an example. The study found that the “whole village relocation” model practiced in Tongyu County was relatively successful in terms of improving the living environment, income, and public services of local villagers. On the other hand, there were three main problems: first, many follow-up industries were dominated by the village collectives and heavily dependent on government support or subsidies; second, the newly built village faced the dilemma of “re-hollowing” due to the out-migration of young people and the aging population; third, it was difficult to achieve a true requisition–compensation balance of farmland.

 Accurate poverty alleviation has become an important task in implementing the rural revitalization strategy. Since the 19th CPC National Congress, Chinese government institutions have been striving to take measures to lift poor rural areas out of poverty. This essay takes Tailai district as the blueprint to start the research on precision poverty alleviation, explores and discusses the construction of beautiful villages, proposes strategies for sustainable development, makes people change concepts to coordinate the relationship between interests and concepts. It also points out the target that using the industry as a guide, using technology to alleviate poverty and make the village vibrant. Therefore, the endogenous power will be derived from the roots, and the agriculture, farmer and rural area will be fed back, in order to provide a reference for the Construction of Beautiful Villages in Heilongjiang.

Nowadays, Chinese government is actively advancing the targeted poverty alleviation on a countrywide scale. It is difficult to conduct in some areas e.g. sandy land region and some arid and semi-arid region where the water is a shortage. In these areas, it is more important to solve ecological environment question than developing agriculture. So, to find some economic forest species that held certain ecological function of sand protection was in urgent need. Cerasus humilis, which has good health function and excellent in cold-resistance and drought-resistance, was introduced to Mu Us Sandy land. In this study, we found that this kind plant could well adapt to the sandy climate and bears fruit. In the future, the targeted poverty alleviation in the rural areas of northern Shaanxi will be based on planting Cerasus humilis gradually.

Every development and production process needs to operate within a circular economy to keep the human being within a safe limit of the planetary boundary. Policymakers are in the quest of a powerful and easy-to-use tool for representing the perceived causal structure of a complex system that could help them choose and develop the right strategies. In this context, fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) can serve as a soft computing method for modelling human knowledge and developing quantitative dynamic models. FCM-based modelling includes the aggregation of knowledge from a variety of sources involving multiple stakeholders, thus offering a more reliable final model. The average aggregation method for weighted interconnections among concepts is widely used in FCM modelling. In this research, we applied the OWA (ordered weighted averaging) learning operators in aggregating FCM weights, assigned by various participants/ stakeholders. Our case study involves a complex phenomenon of poverty eradication and socio-economic development strategies in rural areas under the DAY-NRLM (Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Rural Livelihoods Mission) in India. Various scenarios examining the economic sustainability and livelihood diversification of poor women in rural areas were performed using the FCM-based simulation process implemented by the “FCMWizard” tool. The objective of this study was three-fold: (i) to perform a brief comparative analysis between the proposed aggregation method called “OWA learning aggregation” and the conventional average aggregation method, (ii) to identify the significant concepts and their impact on the examined FCM model regarding poverty alleviation, and (iii) to advance the knowledge of circular economy in the context of poverty alleviation. Overall, the proposed method can support policymakers in eliciting accurate outcomes of proposed policies that deal with social resilience and sustainable socio-economic development strategies.

In order to protect cultivated land and balance farmers’ needs and shortage of land, the Chinese government introduced policies to rearrange land use in rural areas. However, many problems, such as unused rural construction land and illegally occupied land, have occurred through implementing land use policies. Rural construction land transformation has been promoted to solve these problems. This transformation was designed to let farmers voluntarily transforming their idle rural construction land. Then, local government could rearrange village layout for developing cultivation, industry and green space. Therefore, in order to analyze the factors that influenced farmers’ decision-making behavior in rural construction land transformation, household surveys were conducted in four typical villages in Jizhou District. After using the Probit model to analyze the data, the results indicated that the willingness to settle in the city, the mode of housing resettlement, the mode of compensation, the rationality of the measurement standards, and the annual total household income positively affected the willingness of farmers to transform their rural construction land. The strong willingness to settle in the city dominated the other factors. Moreover, the age and amount of construction land, the method of construction land acquisition, and the amount of cultivated land negatively affected the decision-making behavior during the transformation of rural construction land. Based on the influencing factors, policy suggestions are proposed from the perspectives of establishing an orderly transformation mechanism, implementing priority transformation, and providing compensation for transforming rural construction land.

The article theoretically substantiates the need to use a special tool to ensure sustainable development of rural territories. As such, it is proposed to use a monitoring system that will allow to analyze, evaluate and control all the factors in the implementation of strategies for their socio-economic development, and will also determine the level of achievement of the goals. Within the framework of the Voronezh region, the analysis of indicators of the socio-economic development of rural territories is carried out, their typical problems are identified. The most common among which are the worsening demographic situation and the underdevelopment of the educational system. On the example of the Vorobevsky municipal district, a typical homogeneous rural territory of the Voronezh region, the influence of strategic planning on its development is shown. It has been established that most of the indicators of socio-economic development are planned with positive shifts, which, however, does not indicate the possibility of actual achievement of the set goals. A comparative characteristic and analysis of the impact of strategies for the socio-economic development of rural settlements on the implementation of the strategy of the Vorobevsky district was made. It was revealed that the mission of the Vorobevsky district combines elements of the missions of rural settlements: the cultural heritage of Berezovsky, a comfortable living environment and entrepreneurship of Solonetsky, a comfortable living environment and agriculture of Nikolsky 1st; The general goal and objectives of the strategies of rural settlements are reflected in the strategy of socio-economic development of the Vorobevsky district. It is proposed to introduce annual monitoring as a tool capable of achieving the goals of the socio-economic development of rural areas, since the existing simple assessment of the formation of target indicators in three stages will not give the desired result. In this regard, the necessity of developing a special methodology for monitoring the implementation of strategies for socio-economic development, which will assess the achievement of the goals of the strategy in percentage terms at a particular point in time, is justified.

The aim of the study is to monitor the social, performance and financial-economic indicators of each rural area of the region on the basis of an analysis of the "problem map" and the "development reserve diagram", as well as to develop long-term programs for social and economic development. Methods. A package of methodological materials was developed to ensure systematic and comprehensive monitoring of the current state of the rural areas in the region and their reserves of socio-economic development. Results. The authors propose a new methodology for monitoring the sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex and rural areas on the basis of an integrated approach aimed to assess the socio-demographic situation, indicators of agricultural performance, financial and economic parameters and municipal management, which distinguishes it from the well-known methods of analyzing statistical data, municipal reports and economic subjects, expert evaluation of indicators and qualimetric method. The complex nature of monitoring, the objectivity of assessments of social as well as the performance and financial-economic indicators allow us to figure out the rating of each rural area of the region, which should be taken into account when providing government support and subsidizing agriculture and supporting the rural areas. Conclusion. We suggest, developed by us, a scheme of the guaranteed strategic development of rural areas which can be implemented in any region of Russia subject to the creation of maps of land zoning, development of regional and municipal schemes for the rational allocations, production and processing of agricultural products, development of a package of regulatory and legal documents, practical tools and recommendations, regulatory and legal framework for improving leases, development of a methodology to monitor the current state of the rural areas and their reserves of socio-economic the development.

This study was designed to map the potential and problems of local resources in improving the rural economy, an understanding of the technology needs for rural economic development and rural economic development strategy through technological approach to poverty alleviation. The method used in this study is a Location Quotient (LQ) to determine whether there is an area of specialization for certain sectors. By LQ analysis intended to look at sectors which are the basis of sectors and sectors not base, then continued into the analysis of SWOT analysis. Results showed that the average index of location quetion most rural areas each having economic potential seed and if it refers to the results of the calculation of average Location quetion (LQ) subsector of agriculture at the top then there are many villages that have criteria for the achievement of the average calculation LQ is greater than one (1) or LQ> 1. Later in this study have also been generated operationally recommendation against the use of science and technology of leading sectors that have been mapped.
