A FUZZY ANALYSIS OF SPIRITUAL POVERTY ALLEVIATION IN DEEP POVERTY-STRICKEN AREAS OF GANSU

Abstract

This paper aims to find the importance and contribution of spiritual poverty alleviation using people’s subjective evaluation data of deeply impoverished areas. The research is conducted according to the method of five-level scale evaluation and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, combined with on-site questionnaires with the masses, and interviews with village cadres. The main findings reveal that the spiritual measures are more important than the material measures, and some of the second-level indicators have relatively low recognition of poverty alleviation contribution, which is an important basis for our targeted policies.
