Open burning of straw is the most significant problem of environmental pollution in rural areas. Returning straw to the fields is beneficial to rural environmental management and rural development. Comprehensive utilization of straw in the field not only reduces environmental pollution, but also benefits food production and farmers' income. Because planting farmers, enterprises, and local governments have different interests, it is difficult for the straw return system to operate soundly. In this study, a three-party evolutionary game model of farmers, enterprises, and local governments was constructed to analyze the evolutionary stability of the strategic choices of the three subjects, explore the influence of each element on the strategic choices of the three parties, and use Matlab2022b simulation to further analyze the dynamic evolution of the game behavior of the system subjects under the given benefits and the given subjects, respectively. The study findings showed that the higher the preferences given by the local government, the higher the probability of farmers and enterprises participating in the straw return system. Only with the participation of local governments can the straw return system be operated robustly. Our study findings also revealed that the interests of farmers must be fully protected in order to mobilize the main body and stimulate market dynamics. The overall findings of this study provide useful insights for promoting government agencies to govern the local environment, increase local revenues, and build integrated waste utilization systems.
露天焚烧秸秆是农村地区环境污染的最主要问题。秸秆还田有利于农村环境管理和农村发展。秸秆在田间的综合利用不仅减少了环境污染,而且有利于粮食生产和农民收入。由于种植农户、企业和地方政府的利益不同,秸秆还田制度难以正常运行。本研究构建了农户、企业和地方政府三方演化博弈模型,分析了三方主体策略选择的演化稳定性,探讨了各要素对三方主体策略选择的影响,并利用 Matlab2022b 仿真进一步分析了在给定收益和给定主体下,系统主体博弈行为的动态演化。研究结果表明,地方政府给予的优惠越高,农户和企业参与秸秆还田制度的概率就越高。只有地方政府的参与,秸秆还田制度才能稳健运行。本研究结果还揭示,必须充分保护农民的利益,才能调动主体积极性,激发市场活力。本研究的总体结论为促进政府机构治理当地环境、增加地方收入和建立综合废物利用系统提供了有益的见解。
