Research on targeted land poverty alleviation patterns based on the precise identification of dominant factors of rural poverty: a case study of Siyang County, Jiangsu Province, China

Abstract Poverty is a common problem faced by various social and economic forms. Eliminating poverty major issue of concern research all over the world. Land policies for alleviation are an effective means affecting land agriculture development, increasing productivity cultivated land, promoting growth in farmers’ income production. In recent years, it has played important role poverty-stricken areas. However, needs township units have not been precisely identified, one-size-fits-all unable to effectively allocate resources. Consequently, actual efficiency severely restricted, leading regional differences alleviation. response this bottleneck, study takes Siyang County Jiangsu Province as case adopts geographical detector model diagnose identify spatial differentiation characteristics dominant factors townships. The results can be summarised ‘four poverty—four types townships—four targeted patterns’. Detailed follows: rural labour, technology, resources, financial support. townships county were thus classified into four according main factor poverty: labour-constrained, land-constrained, capital-constrained, technique-constrained, proposed patterns different constraint then improve effectiveness development successfully achieve precise reinforce strategies revitalising communities.
