  • Governance Research of Chinese Rural Finance Exclusion Based on Peasant Survey*

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract The construction of people’s livelihood in rural areas not only needs to meet their basic require- ments such as elders’ care, medical care, and insurance and so on, but also needs to encourage people living in rural areas and make them have confidence to earn a better live through the im- provement of self-development ability. “Insufficiency of self-development ability” and “the lack of opportunity of development” are two of the most important barricades, which interact rural “finance exclusion” as both cause and effect and exert reciprocal intensification as well. The inter- viewing result from the 1938 random samples of local citizens living in villages and towns, which belong to 5 provinces and 26 counties and cities, shows that “lack of funds” is the hugest barricade that prevents peasants improving their self-development ability. The situation is mostly caused by “non-physical finance exclusion”. To govern this situation, the diversity of rural finance require- ments and financial ecology cannot be separated and combination usage of different kinds of go- vernance tools is needed.

  • Are China's Water Resources for Agriculture Sustainable? Evidence from Hubei Province
    sustainability Article Are China’s Water Resources for Agriculture Sustainable? Evidence from Hubei Province Hao Jin and Shuai Huang * School of Public Economics and Administration, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Shanghai 200433, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-21-65903686 Abstract: We assessed the sustainability of agricultural water resources in Hubei Province, a typical agricultural province in central China, for a decade (2008–2018). Since traditional evaluation models often consider only the distance between the evaluation point and the positive or negative ideal solution, we introduce gray correlation analysis and construct a new sustainability evaluation model. Our research results show that only one city had excellent sustainable development capacity of agricultural water resources, and the evaluation value of eight cities fluctuated by around 0.5 (the median of the evaluation result), while the sustainable development capacity of agricultural water resources in other cities was relatively poor. Our findings not only reflect the differences in the natural conditions of water resources among various cities in Hubei, but also the impact of the cities’ policies to ensure efficient agricultural water use for sustainable development. The indicators and methods Citation: Jin, H.; Huang, S. Are in this research are not difficult to obtain in most countries and regions of the world.

They play an important role in land resource systems and sometimes are more important than that of the natural setting. The study aims to build a comprehensive framework for assessing unconsolidated cultivated land (UCL) in the south-central and southwestern portions of Hubei Province, China, which have not experienced project management and land consolidation, to identify the roles of natural and especially socioeconomic factors.

    Together We Stand, United In Love “In the Name of Love” Planning Committee Week Two Report 2020/02/24 - 2020/03/01 This was a busy but happy week for the planning committee. As soon as we received a portion of donations last week, we immediately purchased 20 oxygen concentrators and sent them to five hospitals in Wuhan. On the morning of Monday, Feb. 24, we purchased an additional 10 oxygen concentrators to be sent to another three Hubei hospitals. These eight hospitals were the result of a careful selection process and were determined to have the most urgent need on the frontlines. Since purchasing the devices, we have kept a watchful eye on their movements every day. Though our shipments encountered delays due to road closures in certain regions, as of Mar. 01, 28 of the 30 donated oxygen concentrators have reached their intended hospitals. The other two are still en route to their destination of Wufeng Tujia Autonomous County No.2 People’s Hospital. Details of Spreadsheet of all the recipient hospitals Hospital proof of receipt Hospital proof of receipt Hospitals receiving shipments Donations have continued to come in this week, and our “Restaurants in Action” event has received enthusiastic support from community restaurants.
