ABSTRACT
The exploitation of mineral resources occupied and destroyed a large amount of land and damaged the ecological system seriously. How to perfect the incentive policies and regulations in mining areas is an urgent institutional problem to be solved in the construction of ecological environment. This paper, taking the mining city Wu’an as an example, takes field investigation to interview the local government, mining area development enterprise, reclamation enterprise and local peasants, and conducts data analyzing by constructing the structural equation model with Amos 17.0 to clarify the dominant factors and obstacles that influence the land reclamation incentive policies and regulations enforcement. The results show that (1) different stakeholders have different cognitions to the factors that hinder the implementation of incentive policies and regulation; (2) the interactions between local governments and other stakeholders, especially local peasants, are obviously weak, and the government guaranteed the interests of local peasants insufficiently; (3) the government’s supervision to the incentive policies and regulations enforcement is not enough, and the main responsibility between different stakeholders is not clear. This paper also proposes some reasonable suggestions to perfect the incentive policies and regulations of land reclamation in mining area.
