Abstract:
Several local governing bodies are involved in the ecological environmental management of the middle route of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project. As a limited rational economic person, considering their economic benefit, local governments make different action decisions and play games with each other, which have a negative effect on ecological environmental management.The graph model analysis method was used to dynamically describe the strategic interaction among the local governments in the ecological environment governance of water sources in the middle route. First, the main agents in the ecological environment governance in water resources and their respective strategy sets were analyzed. Then, based on the concept of lexicographic preference, the feasible statuses of the conflict were explored. The GMCRⅡ software with five different definitions of equilibrium of NR, GMR, SMR, SEQ, and SIM was used to analyze the equilibriums of the conflict. Finally, considering the actual situation of water resources in the middle route of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project, the dynamic evolution of the ecological environment governance conflict was shown by the diagram.In the process of ecological environment governance, incentive and compensation policies were used by the management institutions of water resources in the middle route to adjust the benefits of local governments, whose strategic choices turned to consider environmental governance. Based on the incentive and compensation policies, industrial support policies were used to adjust local governments’ benefits which resulted in changing their strategic choices to emphasize environmental governance.The result showed that the incentive policies used by management institutions of water resources in the middle route can effectively promote local governments to actively participate in the ecological environment governance, and promote the ecological environment governance conflict to evolve into a state of equilibrium. It is an effective way for the management institutions of water resources in water source of the middle route to guide local governments to cooperate by exploring a variety of incentive models in combination with the development needs.
