Abstract

The large-scale relocation and resettlement projects in China have significantly improved the sense of gain, satisfaction, and happiness of the relocated population, and steadily enhancing their sustainable livelihoods is crucial for achieving common prosperity. Based on the sustainable livelihoods theory for farmers and an analytical framework, this article uses survey data from relocated farmers in three provinces of China to measure and evaluate their endogenous development drivers, sustainable livelihoods, and community governance capabilities. The OLS regression model is employed to test the impact of livelihood capital on the sustainable livelihoods of relocated farmers, the mediating effect of endogenous development momentum, and the moderating effect of community governance capabilities. Descriptive statistical analysis reveals that community governance capabilities, endogenous development momentum levels, and sustainable livelihood levels decrease in sequence. The empirical results show that the enhancing effect of livelihood capital on the sustainable livelihood level of relocated farmers, the mediating effect of endogenous development momentum, and the moderating effect of community governance capabilities are all significant.
