Using questionnaires, this study analyzed the farmers＇ attitudes and responses towards the range-land enclosure policy(REP). The results show that 92. 4% of the interviewees believed that a significant achievement has been made ever since the new policy went into effect. Meanwhile about 78.0~//0 of the inter-viewees supported the policy. However, a large proportion(42.60//oo) of the interviewees felt that their liveli-hoods had been adversely affected by the REP. Furthermore, 81.8~ of the interviewees admitted that the illegal activities like grazing at night still exist. The study found that the immediate interests of vulnerable groups(low lever education, low lever income, harsh living condition, elders and women, etc. ) were largely ignored, which turned out as the main problem of the deployment of REP. Consequently, we proposed that full attention should be paid to the residents＇ basic living and developing rights. At the same time, for the sake of the comprehensive development of the ecology, economy and society, the local government must develop industries with local advantages.
