Abstract

The aim of study is to evaluate the pastoralists' livelihood capital of Huogeqi sum in Inner Mongolia within mineral exploitation. We construct mineral exploitation sustainable livelihood framework to reveal the relationship between livelihood capital and livelihood strategy, basing on sociological and statistical method such as questionnaires, entropy and logistic regression analysis. The results indicated that: 1. the stock of pastoralists' human capital, material capital, cultural capital is higher, and the stock of natural capital, social capital and financial capital is lower. 2. Pastoralists' livelihood strategies can be divided into livestock type, mixed type and non-livestock type. 3. The pastoralists with higher stock of natural capital and cultural capital incline to choose livestock strategy and mixed strategy, pastoralists with higher stock of human capital and financial capital are apt to select the non-livestock strategy. 4. Mineral exploitation and the shortage of pastoralists’ capital will limit the adjustment for better livelihood.
