Abstract

The production and living conditions of reservoir resettlements are relatively poor after relocation; therefore, the Chinese government has specifically issued policies that require post-relocation support projects in resettlement areas. Existing research and practice show that game theory can be applied to the relationship between the Resettlement Development Department and other government departments (OGDs); for this reason, we construct an evolutionary game model of both sides through field study and literature research. With the analysis of the replication dynamics, evolutionary strategies and stability of the game system, the results show that the benefits of both sides are maximized and the governance effectiveness is most significant when the RDD actively plans the PReS projects and the OGD positively supports the project. This study empirically and mathematically proves the significance of cross-departmental cooperation and enriches the study of collaborative governance among multiple government departments.
