Research Abstract

Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, environmental degradation by human production activity such as the unplanned reclamation by population growth or excessive pasturage is worse. Poverty of inhabitants of the district makes more environmentally charge it, and existence of the vicious circle that environmental damage affords poverty is pointed out as a cause. Chinese Government carries out some policies for the solution. A representative policy is called "Returning Cultivated land to Forest Land "or "Returning Cultivate land to Grass Land". This policy prohibits agriculture and stock farming in the cultivate area which deteriorated, and changes back cultivated area into a forest land and grassland. In addition, grazing is prohibited and switching from small livestock to Large-sized livestock is measured in some area.
In this study, our aims are to evaluate this Environmental policy, as Returning Cultivated Land to Forest, Grass Land from view points of Physical Geography and Human, economic Geography. Our group started regional research in Busen. Shisiouki from 2003 to 2005. As a result, we pointed out three features as bellows. First, from GIS testing on Land environmental situation and human land use, Desertification in Inner Mongolia is becoming more serious. Second, from research of Agricultural management in Research area, under environmental policy, agricultural management is changing from small livestock to large one. This makes farmers getting more income, and more loan money in order to introduce Large-sized cattle. Third, from research of physical geography, Climate condition and land erosion, vegetation are becoming no good situation/
