Abstract:Based on the survey data of 130 villages of Danzhai County of Guizhou Province, after analysis, this paper indicates that the utilization rate of current rural household firedamp pools is lower, the situation of the construction and utilization of the firedamp pools is not only related to the economic situation of the villages and the households but also is influenced by policy implementation. The number of the pools in model villages is more than that of the pools in non-model villages, as a whole, its abandoning rate is lower than that of non-model villages, the number of the pools uniformly required by governments is more than the pools required by individuals, but the abandoning rate of the pools is higher than that of the pools required by individuals, the governmental subsidy for the pool construction obtained by poor villages is lower than that of non-poor villages from the perspective of capital support, and the funds for the pool construction required by governments is basically approximate to the self-funds of the households. Thus, governments should pay attention to different demands of different households, use different support policies, boost willingness and enthusiasm for the households to construct and use the pools, meanwhile, expand the scope of model villages and increase the support to poor households.
