Abstract
The year 2020 was a decisive year when China won a nationwide battle against poverty to build a moderately well-to-do society. The key to combat poverty was placed on practical measures to identify poverty-stricken areas. One of the measures to relieve large numbers of people from poverty was relocation. Yunnan province is predominantly mountainous or hilly with many poor counties that often suffer from natural disasters. Taking the case of a typically poor, mountainous, and highly inaccessible Jinggu County for a special study, this paper evaluates the process of relocating 3,721 households during the years between 2016 and 2018, and the resolution of a series of subsequent problems after relocation. By means of a questionnaire survey, the investigation focuses on the manner by which relocation was carried out and the management of problems that followed. By means of a series of response measures and suggestions, the study will attempt to provide a useful reference on poverty alleviation through a relocation model.
