| dc.description.abstract | Ningxia is a province in China which has struggled with increased natural disasters and less accessibility to water in the rise of climate change. The government of China has therefore established massive migration processes to safeguard both the environment and the people living in the exposed areas. With this together with multiple other ecological policies implemented by the government, the environment has steadily improved, and hundreds of thousands have been lifted out of poverty. But after all is said and done, the environment is shaped by the people living in it. Therefore, it is important to understand how the people perceive and respond to the changing environment. By getting an understanding of the migrant’s perspective and behaviour of the environment they live under, we can gather information on how to best safeguard the environment through the agency of the migrants. This thesis deploys a Narrative Review to gather data from the perspective of the migrants themselves. Through multiple database searches, 31 sources were found to be able to discover the migrant’s perspective and response to the climatic disaster as well as finding possible ways to change the negative side of the migration. This thesis found that topics such as migrants’ knowledge and ecological awareness as well as the government’s role in the migrant’s life satisfaction were important topics to answer this question. Through the sources found, this paper argues that there are three points that are the current obstacles faced by Ningxia’s migrants in their behaviour towards the ecological situation today: ● Knowledge of farming practices as well as knowledge of policies. ● Communication between the migrants and the government as well as internally between migrants. ● Access to information about farming practices and different types of policies. The environment is in focus in this paper, and as such, this paper does not directly try to suggest ways in which to reduce poverty amongst the people of Ningxia, even though the topics are closely related. Rather than that, it tries to find out how best to increase the migrant’s ecological knowledge and awareness which in turn will help the environment as well as having the effect of elevating poverty. | eng |
