Conflict Analysis of Concentrated Rural Settlement Development During Post-disaster Reconstruction in China: A Multi-agent Simulation

Housing reconstruction is critically important to realize sustainable post-disaster reconstruction. Concentrated rural settlement (CRS) development was promoted after the 5.12 Sichuan earthquake in China. Existing studies focus on the process of CRS reconstruction while overlooking potential conflicts during the reconstruction. This study aims to investigate the behavior of farmers and local government during CRS reconstruction. Evolutional game analysis is used to find the evolutionarily stable strategy for farmers and local government. Multi-agent simulation is used to validate the evolutional trend of farmers’ and local government’s behavior during CRS reconstruction. The impacts of critical factors on the evolutionary stable strategy have also been investigated. Without proper management, there would be conflicts between farmers and local government in CRS development during post-disaster reconstruction. The findings can facilitate the local government to better promote CRS development during post-disaster reconstruction.

Evolutionary Game Analysis and Simulations for Intra-Village Conflict of Collective Land Expropriation

With rapid urbanization, the social risk caused by collective land expropriation has been increasing. Land conflict rather than the farmers’ burden has been the first important issue affecting social security in rural areas. The existing studies on land conflict pay few attentions to intra-village conflict of collective land expropriation. The behavior logic and evolution rule of farmers and village committee remains unknown during the conflict of collective land expropriation. Therefore, the governmental measures lack solid basis to solve such conflicts. This study conducts evolutionary game analysis to find the evolutionary stable strategy of farmers and village committee during conflicts based on the assumption of bounded rationality. Through NetLogo platform, multi-agent based simulation is conducted to validate the results of evolutionary game analysis. This study provides theoretical references for solving intra-village conflicts during collective land expropriation.  *通讯作者:彭毅,杭州市浙江财经大学公共管理 学院,Email:pengyihz@zufe.edu.cn
