Description :
This article examines the impact of farmer households’ livelihood assets in mesa and hilly areas of Chongqing on their options of economic compensation patterns for cultivated land protection. The results show that: 1) there is a spatial trend that the higher the elevation, the less livelihood assets are. 2) that their options of economic compensation pattern vary from Chengdu Pattern to Foshan Pattern due to their difference in livelihood assets and difference in location. It concludes that a compensation pattern system has been designed to meet the demands for farmer households mainly according to their shortage in livelihood assets.
