Abstract  

In the process of targeted poverty alleviation, the problems that traditional data statistic aperture is not unified and that nighttime light data for identifying poverty is studied in a short time usually exist. With Liupan Mountain as an example, the average light index and multidimensional poverty index (MPIstatistical) indices were constructed by using the method of invariant target area and gray relational model with the help of night light and socio-economic statistics. Poverty estimation models were constructed through average light index and MPIstatistics. MPIestimation was generated and used to explore long-term sequence of poverty identification. Some conclusions have been reached: the accuracy of poverty results based on nighttime light image was higher, which can reflect the real poverty degree of the region, and the relative error ranges between 3.14% and 3.52%. The MPI estimated averages of the contiguous special poverty areas respectively are 0.346, 0.353, 0.353, 0.357 and 0.358 in many years. The level of poverty has been reduced year by year. Between 2000 and 2012, there were 3946 counties with extremely poor conditions and 2021 counties with highly poor conditions. The Moran’s I index from 2000 to 2015 respectively were 0.49, 0.45, 0.47, 0.49 and 0.43, indicating that the poverty level in 78 counties exhibits obvious agglomeration. The pattern of poverty is presented with the spatial evolution trend of “relatively less poverty in the eastern and western regions and relatively heavier poverty in the northern and southern regions”.
