- Abstract:
-
Large water projects are important ways to alleviate the water stress in China, which inevitably lead to large quantity of ecological immigrants. Reasonable compensation criteria for ecological compensation is extremely important for sustainable ecological projects. Traditional methods fail to calculate the full losses of local residents and lead to unreasonable and unsustainable compensation. To copy with the problems mentioned above, a new method to calculate compensation criterion for ecological immigrants was developed based on ecological footprint theory. Ecological migrations in the South-North Water Transfer Middle Route Project were taken as an example. Ecological footprint and ecological carrying capacity were used to calculate the ecological contribution of immigrants. Results indicate that the recommended compensation criteria was 1 148 Yuan RMB per capita year. The current study may be served as an example for calculating the ecological compensation criteria of ecological engineerings in this region as well as other impoverished areas.
