重点生态功能区不仅是国家和全球生态系统保护的重要主体，也是维护当地居民生计的重要腹地。生计韧性研究有助于更好地了解重点生态功能区贫困和高度脆弱群体的适应策略和发展需求，对促进长期可持续性至关重要。基于575户家庭的调查数据，从缓冲能力、自组织能力和学习能力三个维度构建了生计韧性评价指标体系。采用加权求和法评价农户生计韧性，并通过多元回归模型分析影响因素。结果表明，农民生计韧性整体水平较弱，农民自组织能力显着高于缓冲能力和学习能力。我们发现，生态政策、户主年龄、生计多样性、家庭规模和环境依赖是影响农民生计韧性的关键因素。我们认为，应考虑和实施建立农民技术培训体系、促进生计多元化、完善和实施积极的生态政策、建立长期有效的风险预警、应急响应和扶贫机制等新方法。
Key ecological function areas are not only recognized as the critical subject for national and global ecosystem protection, but also the crucial hinterland for maintaining the livelihood of local residents. Studies on livelihood resilience contribute to better understand the adaptation strategies and development needs of poor and highly vulnerable groups in key ecological function zones, which is crucial to promoting the long run sustainability. Based on the survey data of 575 households, this paper constructs the livelihood resilience evaluation index system from three dimensions of buffer capacity, self-organization ability and learning ability. The method of weighted sum is used to evaluate the livelihood resilience of farmers, and the influencing factors are analyzed by multiple regression model. The results show that the overall level of livelihood resilience of farmers is weak, and the self-organization ability of farmers is significantly higher than their buffering ability and learning ability. We found that ecological policy, age of head of household, diversity of livelihoods, family size, and environmental dependence are the key factors that affect the resilience of farmers' livelihoods. We argued that, new methods such as establishing a technical training system for farmers, promoting livelihood diversity, improving and implementing active ecological policies, and building long-term and effective risk warning, emergency response, and poverty alleviation mechanisms should be considered and implemented.
