Abstract:
Using the methods of map visualization, hot spot analysis, spatial autocorrelation, and regression analysis, and taking population, arable land and per capita farmland in County level as the indexes, the change process of population redistribution and per capita arable land and its economic and social effect are clarified. The results show that, with the effective guiding on the population migration from the government, the spatial agglomeration characteristics of population density and per capita farmland increased; under the impetus of large-scale production campaign, the quantitative trend of per capita farmland under the condition of homogeneous land represented by average elevation and latitude has been gradually realized. In order to solve the problem of the refugees influx, food shortage and uneven distribution of agricultural population in the border area, the government of Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region has proposed economic policies, such as rewarding immigration and large-scale production campaigns, attracting larger scale agricultural population redistribution in the Border Region, while the per capita farmland has changed significantly accordingly. The research indicates that, relevant policies and measures of the Border Region government have given full play to the population carrying capacity of each county in the border area, which is an advantageous attempt to optimize the matching between human resources and material resources.
