Using questionnaires

this study analyzed the farmers＇ attitudes and responses towards the range-land enclosure policy(REP). The results show that 92. 4% of the interviewees believed that a significant achievement has been made ever since the new policy went into effect. Meanwhile about 78.0~//0 of the inter-viewees supported the policy. However

a large proportion(42.60//oo) of the interviewees felt that their liveli-hoods had been adversely affected by the REP. Furthermore

81.8~ of the interviewees admitted that the illegal activities like grazing at night still exist. The study found that the immediate interests of vulnerable groups(low lever education

low lever income

harsh living condition

elders and women

etc.) were largely ignored

which turned out as the main problem of the deployment of REP. Consequently

we proposed that full attention should be paid to the residents＇ basic living and developing rights. At the same time

for the sake of the comprehensive development of the ecology

economy and society

the local government must develop industries with local advantages.
