Abstract

This paper takes Shaxi Town, Jianchuan County as typical case, exploring villager participation in traditional village protection in Yunnan Province, by interviews and questionnaires on-site. The results show that the villagers are playing a role in the village protection, but only relying on the influence of traditional culture and its simple cognition, the engagement is not high. At the end of this paper, two suggestions to improve the villagers' participation in village protection will be given.
