ABSTRACT
As one of the important contents of the new development concept, the green
development concept is an important guideline for the national development strategy.
To promote social and economic stability in rural areas, realize low-carbon
development in rural areas, and build a harmonious society between society and
ecology. Based on the concept of green life, through SWOT analysis to explore the
advantages and disadvantages of rural social governance, from the four aspects of
economic development, social development, carbon emissions, and ecological
environment, to construct an evaluation system for the impact of low-carbon emission
policies on rural social governance. The hierarchical progressive relationship between
the indicators, the weight of each indicator is calculated by the analytic hierarchy
process, and the comprehensive evaluation value of the social governance effect of
the research target in the past five years and the evaluation value of the secondary
indicators are obtained. The obtained evaluation results show that the comprehensive
evaluation value and the positive index values have increased by 0.056, 0.032,
0.0039, and 0.043, respectively, while the negative index value of the study area has
decreased by 0.32. Development, carbon emissions, and the ecological environment
have a greater positive promotion and positive impact.

1. INTRODUCTION
Climate change is a common challenge faced by human society in the 21st century,
and every country has an inescapable responsibility for controlling carbon dioxide
emissions [1-2]. As a result, policies such as mandatory carbon emissions, carbon
taxes, carbon trading, and carbon offsets have emerged and become the main
measures to control carbon dioxide emissions [3-6]. The purpose of a low-carbon
emission policy is that the construction and development of the social and economic
system can achieve low-carbon emissions [7-8]. Low carbon emissions can be
defined in different ways. One is to realize the common vision of human society, that
is, to achieve the emission level under the global low-temperature target. Greenhouse
gas emissions to achieve lower greenhouse gas emissions pathways [9-10]. The
concept of low-carbon emissions proposed in the world refers to achieving lower
greenhouse gas emissions at a certain time [11].
The low-carbon emission policy of the agricultural society is to avoid the use of
pesticides, fertilizers, etc. to offset the emissions of livestock enteric fermentation, rice
fields, biomass burning, and manure treatment, and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions; characteristics of energy flow to avoid nitrous oxide and biogas emissions
in cultivated or dry peatlands [12-15].
Rural social governance under the concept of green life is an innovative model, and
its basic characteristics are overall development, interaction and high efficiency
between industries, and comfortable and harmonious development of the social
environment, to promote the sustainable development of rural society [16-19]. Its core
is not to sacrifice agriculture and food, not to damage the ecology and the
environment [20]. Taking farmers' interests as the starting point, realizing the
integration of infrastructure and equalization of public services, promoting the steady
development of rural society and economy, realizing a well-off life, and building a
harmonious society [21-25].
Since the reform and opening up, the exploration of rural social governance has
gradually attracted the attention of scholars at home and abroad. Reference [26]

a prototype and a model for a quality future for sustainable rural development in
Cameroon. Literature [28] reviewed and synthesized extensive spatial studies of
oligotrophic mountain streams in rural southern Appalachian Mountains and
concluded that, despite higher forest retention rates, rural land-use activity is driven by
altered and predominantly enhanced landscapes - Stream connections significantly
reduce water quality. Rural water quality problems can be greatly alleviated through
well-known best management practices, which raises the question of socio-ecological
governance using best management practices. Reference [29] uses a key multi-level,
multi-scale management model to illustrate the entire process. The author's project
role involves developing local community management skills while protecting social
welfare and environmental health. And process results are analyzed to facilitate local
and larger regional impact. Transformative environmental governance solutions
actively address potential challenges while fully recognizing feasible thresholds of
vulnerability conditions, thereby promoting more comprehensive social engagement
and local empowerment. Reference [30] uses the multi-model comparison and
regression optimization techniques of spatiotemporal analysis of rural civil bulk coal
governance consumption to analyze provincial panel data and examines the time
effect and spatial spillover effect of consumption to solve governance problems. The
results show that the governance of rural credit cooperatives should adhere to the
principle of inter-provincial coordination, determine the governance policy based on
the conditions within the province, establish a subsidy mechanism, use resource
competition to guide the changes in rural credit cooperatives and coordinate with
urbanization. In short, scholars have paid more and more attention to the governance
of rural society, and their research has yielded fruitful results. However, the
governance of rural society should not only be realized through the above aspects,
but requires every villager to be aware of their responsibilities and obligations to
nature, reflect on the existing way of life, implement it based on action, and choose a
green way of life to promote the harmonious development of human and nature.
The proposal of the concept of green life indicates that we will pay more attention to
the issue of green life, adhere to the guidance of the concept of green, and implement
it in all aspects of social life. Therefore, according to the SWOT status analysis results
of rural social governance under the concept of green life, this paper constructs an
evaluation model for the impact of low-carbon emission policies on rural social
governance. The impact of emission policies on rural social governance, to actively
comply with the realistic trend of rural social governance under the concept of green
life, improve and innovate rural social governance methods, strengthen rural
residents' green and low-carbon awareness, and upgrade the original single
governance of rural society to the level of low-carbon social governance, and
constantly improve the rural social governance system.

The SWOT analysis method was first proposed by a management professor at the
University of San Francisco in the early 1980s. Although some people have
mentioned internal strengths and weaknesses, external opportunities and threats,
these changing factors, are the contribution of the SWOT method. It lies in the
creative use of systems thinking to comprehensively analyze these factors [31]. The
so-called SWOT analysis method is to list various main internal strengths and
weaknesses, external opportunities, and threats closely related to the research object
through investigation and then uses the idea of systematic analysis to match various
factors to analyze, this leads to a series of corresponding strategies [32]. It was
originally intended to provide a scientific basis for corporate strategic decisions, but
due to its simplicity and clarity, the analysis method has been widely used in related
research in other fields in recent years [33]. As an important part of developing low-
carbon rural areas and the concept of green life, rural social governance under low-
carbon emission policies provides an opportunity for rural areas to achieve leapfrog
development [34]. Through SWOT analysis, we can clarify the advantages and
disadvantages of rural social governance, grasp external opportunities, and actively
prevent possible threats and risks, which is conducive to clarifying the strategic
direction of rural social governance and formulating scientific, reasonable, and

effective governance countermeasures. Taking a rural area as the research target, the
SWOT analysis results from the concept of green life are shown in Table 1.
2.1. ADVANTAGES
1.
Economic foundation for low-carbon development: the implementation of
relevant policies has led to the continuous increase of farmers’ income, the
steady increase of agricultural comprehensive productivity, the continuous
optimization of agricultural internal structure and planting structure, and the
continuous improvement of policy support and scientific and technological
innovation system. Carbon countryside provides a certain economic
foundation.
2.
Extensive low-carbon forms and technologies: for the study area, low-carbon
agricultural forms and technologies already exist. The main modes are
conservation-oriented agriculture; high-efficiency agriculture; pollution-free
agriculture; recycling mode of planting and breeding waste; rural clean energy;
tourism and leisure agriculture.
3.
Energy conservation and emission reduction have relative cost advantages:
affected by economic conditions, the low level of investment in productive fixed
assets in rural households limits the use of advanced technology and efficient
agricultural equipment and aggravates the current situation of high energy
consumption and low energy efficiency in rural production and life. This status
quo means that its energy utilization has a large room for improvement, the
cost of energy conservation and emission reduction is relatively low, and the
implementation of low-carbon emission policies and the construction of low-
carbon rural areas have certain relative cost advantages.
4.
Carbon sinks and biomass resources are abundant: reasonable production
behaviors such as returning farmland to forests, afforestation, land erosion
control, organic matter remediation, soil fertility restoration, improving feed
technology, and improving the production efficiency of pastures in the research
area are conducive to the absorption, fixation, and transfer of carbon dioxide,
and play a role in "reducing sources and increasing sinks" for agricultural and
rural carbon emissions.
2.2. DISADVANTAGES
1.
Decentralized operation hinders the promotion of low-carbon emission policies:
the decentralized farmers' production and business model is the main reason
for the lack of investment in agricultural production in China and the lack of
stamina for rural economic development. By 2020, only 46.13% of farmers will
participate in industrial operations, and the proportion of dairy cattle and pig
breeding will only be 16.47% and 28.43%, which will seriously restrict the
development of a low-carbon agricultural society.

Ed.44 | Iss.12 | N.2 April - June 2023
311
2.
Lock-in effect of "high-carbon" development mode: the natural development of
rural society makes the development cognitive lock-in effect obvious, and the
acceptance period of new technologies and new ideas in rural areas is long.
3.
Environmental protection system construction gap: there is no special rural
environmental protection law, although some laws and regulations are involved
in low-carbon rural social governance, the operability is poor, the applicability is
not strong, and detailed management regulations and environmental protection
infrastructure construction are even fewer, and there are only 3 or 5 centralized
rural sewage treatment stations and garbage treatment stations.
4.
Low quality of agricultural practitioners: the development of agricultural
mechanization has released a large number of the rural labor force, and the
transfer of rural surplus labor has caused problems such as rural hollowing,
agricultural concurrent employment, women's aging, and aging. Among the
agricultural technicians in this region, 56.49% have only primary titles, and only
3.8% have a high school or above.
5.
Lack of funds for low-carbon agricultural development: in recent years, the
proportion of fiscal support to agriculture in total fiscal expenditure has only
increased from 6.49% to 10.24%. Under the influence of factors that tend to
profit, the idle funds in the vast rural areas have flowed to urban areas with
high returns, and farmers' passive investment in agricultural production and
financial support for agriculture is limited, resulting in a lack of funds for
agricultural development.
2.3. OPPORTUNITIES
1.
High attention at the political level: the affirmation of the green role of
agriculture by some international organizations has strengthened the emphasis
on the implementation of low-carbon emission policies at the rural political
level. In the technology and planning for strengthening energy conservation
and emission reduction in agriculture and rural areas, it is required that the
penetration rate of biogas suitable for farmers and the comprehensive
utilization rate of crop stalks should reach 55% and 85% respectively.
2.
Preliminary establishment of carbon trading market: the natural carbon sink
effect of the agricultural system can offset part of carbon emissions and
promote the smooth transition of rural society. In addition, carbon trading will
bring more projects to provide technical and financial support for the
implementation of low-carbon emission policies.
3.
The energy crisis requires the implementation of low-carbon emission policies:
agriculture is the only field that produces biomass. Therefore, developing low-
carbon emission policies, especially improving the comprehensive utilization

2. Lock-in effect of "high-carbon" development mode: the natural development of
rural society makes the development cognitive lock-in effect obvious, and the
acceptance period of new technologies and new ideas in rural areas is long.

environmental protection law, although some laws and regulations are involved
in low-carbon rural social governance, the operability is poor, the applicability is
not strong, and detailed management regulations and environmental protection
infrastructure construction are even fewer, and there are only 3 or 5 centralized

3. The energy crisis requires the implementation of low-carbon emission policies:
agriculture is the only field that produces biomass. Therefore, developing low-
carbon emission policies, especially improving the comprehensive utilization
https://doi.org/10.17993/3ctecno.2023.v12n2e44.306-329
rate of rural biomass resources, can alleviate the energy crisis to a certain
extent.
4.
The academic research boom promotes the development of low-carbon
emissions: the establishment of various research institutions and the conduct
of seminars are not only conducive to the implementation of rural low-carbon
emissions policies but also provide conditions for active participation and
introduction of international low-carbon cooperation projects. Corresponding
technical and financial support was provided for rural social governance.
2.4. THREATS
1.
The overall technology research and development capacity is limited: actions
to address climate change will make human society step into a low-carbon
society after experiencing an agricultural society, an industrial society, and an
information society, and a series of technological innovation activities will also
be carried out. The policy will become an important part of comprehensive
national strength.
2.
The impact of food security is significant: the population pressure in the study
area is high and the contradiction between man and land is serious. The
traditional concept of food security encourages the development of chemical
agriculture to a certain extent and hinders the development of low-carbon
agriculture.
3.
Great pressure on emission reduction: this region is at the end of the industrial
chain in the division of labor system, and the heavy industry using energy as
raw materials accounts for a high proportion of the economy. The
implementation of low-carbon emission policies will also limit the development
of related high-emission industries and restrict the development of the local
economy.
4.
The emission reduction sharing mechanism has not yet been formed:
greenhouse gas emissions are bounded, but the impact of emissions is not
bounded. Emission reduction commitments are directly related to their
interests, which makes it difficult to form emission reduction opinions.

3. THE IMPACT EVALUATION SYSTEM OF LOW-
CARBON EMISSION POLICIES ON RURAL SOCIAL
GOVERNANCE
3.1. THE FRAMEWORK OF THE EVALUATION INDEX
SYSTEM
Table 2 shows the comprehensive evaluation system framework for the impact of
low-carbon emission policies on rural social governance.
The specific description of the three-level indicators is as follows:
1. Gross output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery: this
indicator reflects the total scale and total results of agricultural production
within a certain period.
2. The proportion of GDP of the primary industry to the total GDP (%): the ratio of
agricultural output value to the three major industries, we can clearly
understand the development of agriculture.
3.
Farmers' per capita net income (yuan/person): this indicator refers to the
annual per capita income of farmers in rural areas. The increase in income
increases farmers' low-carbon awareness.
4. Agricultural mechanization level: this indicator is obtained by dividing the total
power of rural machinery by the sown area of crops. It is the use of mechanical
equipment to replace the labor of farmers, improve planting speed and
efficiency, and bring higher economic benefits.
5. Agricultural product production price index: this index shows the price changes
of production factors in agricultural production, and prices generally rise with
time, so this index can reflect the impact of market price changes on low-
carbon agriculture.
6.
Agricultural commodity retail price index: this indicator shows the changes in
the value of agricultural products and indirectly reflects the planting volume of
agricultural products.

3.2. AHP EMPOWERMENT
Based on the hierarchical progressive relationship between the indicators in the
index system and the principle of determining the weight of the indicators according to
the AHP method, the weights of the evaluation indicators of each layer in the target
object are calculated [35]. The calculation process of index weights at each level is
generally divided into the following five basic steps:
1. Build a progressive hierarchical structure model: by sorting out the previous
research results, the evaluation index system of the rural social governance
effect under the low-carbon emission policy is divided into three layers: A target
layer, B criterion layer, and C indicator layer. There is an affiliation relationship
between each evaluation index layer.
2. Constructing a pairwise judgment matrix: first, compare the judgment matrix of
the evaluation indicators in each level concerning each index in the previous
level, and for the indicators of the same level, according to the 1-9 scaling
method. By comparing them in pairs, the relative attribute measurement value
of the evaluation of rural social governance effects can be obtained [36]. As
shown in the following formula:
(1)
The comparison matrix can be obtained according to the relative
attribute measurement value of the index. The conditions that the matrix should
meet are:

value of the social governance effect of the research target in the past five years and
the indicator values of rural economic development, social development, carbon
emission, and ecological environment are calculated, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2.
Figure 1. Schematic diagram of the comprehensive evaluation value of social governance
effect
According to the comprehensive evaluation value of the rural social governance
effect in the study area in Figure 1, it can be found that the evaluation value of the
governance effect before 2019 has increased significantly, although the social
governance level in the region has shown a downward trend after 2019, but the
decline is small, that is to say, although the rural area in order to pursue high-standard
economic development, agricultural investment is increasing, resulting in a small
increase in carbon emissions, but after the implementation of the low carbon emission
policy under the concept of green life, the rural area has adopted the treatment of
returning farmland to forest, afforestation and land erosion reasonable production
behaviors such as organic matter remediation, soil fertility remediation, improving feed
technology, and improving the production efficiency of pastures are conducive to the
absorption, fixation and transfer of carbon dioxide, and play a role in "reducing
sources and increasing sinks" in agricultural and rural carbon emissions, so that the
progress of social governance level effectively controls the degree of carbon
emissions in agriculture to a certain extent, so the downward trend of comprehensive
evaluation value after 2019 is insignificant compared with the upward trend.
To specifically analyze the problems existing in social governance under the low-
carbon emission policy, the evaluation values of social governance effects were
calculated for each index of economic development, social development, carbon

Figure 2. Evaluation of the effect of rural social governance under low-carbon emission
policies
The calculation results of the rural economic development index values in Figure
2(a) show that in terms of economic development in this rural area, the secondary
indicators have the highest evaluation values in 2021, mainly because the following
three indicators have higher evaluation values: the total output value of agriculture,
forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, the proportion of the GDP of the primary
industry to the total GDP, and the average net income of rural residents. Among them,
the total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery in the
countryside is the sum of the output value and the value of by-products. With the

vigorous implementation of the low carbon emission policy, with low-carbon concepts
and technological transformation and innovation of rural production and lifestyle,
through the adoption of increased publicity, the implementation of technological
transformation, economic interest guidance and the establishment of supervision
mechanisms and other corresponding measures to break the cognitive, technical lock-
in effect, under the leadership's attention and macro-level policy support and other
related political measures, change the political lock-in effect, improve the
requirements of low-carbon rural areas, and promote the governance and
development of a low-carbon society, The evaluation value of the total output value of
agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery has gradually increased from 0.02
in 2017 to 0.0358 in 2021. Although the primary industry in the research area
occupies an important weight, the proportion of primary industry GDP to total GDP in
2021 is the highest, as high as 0.0358, which is mainly caused by the slow
development of the secondary industry and the tertiary industry in the old industrial
base in recent years, and the agricultural development is relatively normal in
comparison. With the implementation of the low carbon emission policy, the average
net income of the people is increasing, and in 2021 to reach a maximum of 0.0351,
the economy continues to develop, and the investment in low-carbon environmental
protection will increase, indirectly reducing agricultural carbon emissions, for the rural
area is only a microcosm of the increase in national income. The rising trend of rural
economic development evaluation values in the past five years shows that low carbon
emission policies have a greater role in promoting rural social governance, and
through simple technical treatment, the agricultural system returns some wastes and
biological resources to agricultural production and life in the form of organic matter
and energy. It not only reduces the waste of guanidine hydrochloride, improves soil
organic matter, and increases the production of clean energy in rural areas, but also
increases farmers' incomes from multiple channels and promotes the sustainable
development of a low-carbon economy in agriculture and rural areas. The more
developed the rural economy, the more it can drive the development of low-carbon
emission policies, and the higher the requirements for rural social governance. The
economic development index continued to rise after it was at a low level of
development. On the whole, the agricultural economic development index of the study
area continued to rise, which was the most favorable factor to promote the level of
social governance in the countryside.
Figure 2(b) shows the calculation result of the social development index value of
the village. It can be seen that in terms of social development, the evaluation value
moves forward in a wave-like manner with the advancement of the low-carbon
emission policy, and the evaluation value in 2020 is the highest at 0.121. This is
mainly because all aspects of society are constantly developing, and rural society is
keeping pace with the times and making continuous progress. Under the low-carbon
emission policy, the quality of rural employees has gradually increased, the number of
agricultural technicians has gradually increased, and the system of agricultural
technology extension stations has been continuously upgraded, all of which have
promoted rural social governance and economic development. The high quality of

relevant practitioners enables farmers to gradually form a low-carbon awareness,
actively participate in low-carbon production and life, and further increase the depth
and intensity of rural social governance. Due to the low carbon emission policy to
expand the rural capital investment in related aspects, and under the general attention
of the academic community, various research institutions have been established,
various seminars have been held, and low-carbon cooperation projects have been
carried out, which have provided relevant theoretical, technical and financial support
for rural social governance, and increased the government's investment and attention
to agriculture, forestry and water affairs, and finally, as a result, the consumption level
of rural residents increased from 0.178 in 2017 to 0.031 in 2021, so that the
evaluation value of the financial expenditure on agriculture, forestry, and water affairs
also increased year by year. However, to obtain a higher level of the agricultural
economy, the sown area of crops has increased year by year, resulting in a decrease
in the evaluation value of the sown area of crops from 2017 to 2021, and agricultural
carbon emissions will also increase every year. The evaluation value of rural electricity
consumption is declining year by year. Although the low-carbon emission policy has a
certain effect on the governance of rural society, social progress has also led to an
increase in energy consumption, which increases electricity consumption and carbon
emissions.
The calculation result of the agricultural carbon emission index value is shown in
Figure 2(c). In terms of agricultural carbon emissions, the evaluation results of this
village have different scores for small-scale agriculture. Due to the low carbon
emission policy by emphasizing the non-excessive use of machinery, fertilizers,
pesticides, and agricultural film, efforts to control carbon emissions in the planting and
animal husbandry industries, effectively alleviate the high carbon emission situation,
expand the forestry coverage, gradually enhance the carbon sequestration capacity,
so that carbon emissions are relatively reduced, and the development of fisheries is
encouraged under geographical restrictions, so that the evaluation value of
agricultural carbon emission indicators has decreased year by year, and has
decreased by 0.32 in the past five years.
Figure 2(d) shows the calculation results of the ecological environment index
values in the study area. As can be seen from the trend of the curve in the figure, the
ecological environment evaluation value of the rural area is generally increasing year
by year, and it will decrease slightly in 2021, indicating that the ecological environment
has been paid more and more attention, and the investment has also increased year
by year, resulting in a decrease in carbon emissions and low carbon emissions. The
level of governance of rural society by emission policies is getting higher and higher.
From 2017 to 2021, the evaluation value of the rural ecological environment will first
rise and then decline, and the evaluation value will be the largest in 2020. Since the
study area is dominated by mountains, the forest coverage has not changed much in
the past five years. The low-carbon emission policy enhances the drought resistance
of farmland by requiring complete water conservancy facilities, so that it can maximize
the use of land under the specified environment, resulting in a higher score for the

effective irrigation area of farmland. Various research institutions in academia have
been established successively, various seminars have been held successively, and
low-carbon cooperation projects have been carried out successively, which has
provided good financial support for the increase of local financial environmental
protection expenses, so that the trend of its evaluation value in the past five years has
been consistent uptrend, rising from 0.0208 to 0.0362. The evaluation values of the
two indicators of rural toilet penetration and total agricultural water use are increasing
with the promotion of low carbon emission policies, indicating that the research area
has turned the advantages of its development into actual economic advantages
through the implementation of low-carbon emission policies, and continuously
strengthened this positive cycle, to improve the self-development ability of the rural
economic system, achieve the leapfrog development of low-carbon rural areas, and
continuously improve the level of social governance in the countryside from the
perspective of environmental protection. And under the condition of limited R&D
capacity, by focusing on the research and development of selected technologies, from
the perspective of national strategy, the research and development of low-carbon
technologies, to improve the independent innovation capacity of core technologies,
and making full use of the natural spillover effects of commercial technology trade and
technology to continuously improve scientific research. Therefore, the construction of
harmless treatment plants has increased, and the evaluation index value of the
number of harmless treatment plants has shown a positive upward trend, reaching a
maximum value of 0.0321 in 2021.
5. DISCUSSION
Rural areas are an important part of the economy and society. For a long time, due
to the inclination of national policies at the macro level, the rural economy has been
impoverished and weak, which has become an obstacle to the further development of
the economy and society. Under the background of the concept of green life and low-
carbon emission policies, it is of great significance to study how rural areas can get
out of the "high-carbon" development dilemma, improve their self-development
capabilities, and achieve leapfrog development. The downsides are:
1. Due to the insufficient collection of some data, the relevant data on rural social
governance are not fully grasped.
2.
The personal understanding of low-carbon emission policies is not deep
enough, the research on rural areas is not enough, and the impact of low-
carbon emission policies on rural social governance is not deep and
comprehensive enough.
3.
Due to limited capacity, there are many deficiencies in the understanding of
rural social governance issues. The opinions and suggestions are not yet
mature and need to be further expanded and supplemented in the next step.

effective irrigation area of farmland. Various research institutions in academia have
been established successively, various seminars have been held successively, and
low-carbon cooperation projects have been carried out successively, which has
provided good financial support for the increase of local financial environmental
protection expenses, so that the trend of its evaluation value in the past five years has
been consistent uptrend, rising from 0.0208 to 0.0362. The evaluation values of the
two indicators of rural toilet penetration and total agricultural water use are increasing
with the promotion of low carbon emission policies, indicating that the research area
has turned the advantages of its development into actual economic advantages
through the implementation of low-carbon emission policies, and continuously
strengthened this positive cycle, to improve the self-development ability of the rural
economic system, achieve the leapfrog development of low-carbon rural areas, and
continuously improve the level of social governance in the countryside from the
perspective of environmental protection. And under the condition of limited R&D
capacity, by focusing on the research and development of selected technologies, from
the perspective of national strategy, the research and development of low-carbon
technologies, to improve the independent innovation capacity of core technologies,
and making full use of the natural spillover effects of commercial technology trade and

harmless treatment plants has increased, and the evaluation index value of the
number of harmless treatment plants has shown a positive upward trend, reaching a
maximum value of 0.0321 in 2021.
5. DISCUSSION
Rural areas are an important part of the economy and society. For a long time, due
to the inclination of national policies at the macro level, the rural economy has been
impoverished and weak, which has become an obstacle to the further development of
the economy and society. Under the background of the concept of green life and low-
carbon emission policies, it is of great significance to study how rural areas can get
out of the "high-carbon" development dilemma, improve their self-development
capabilities, and achieve leapfrog development. The downsides are:
1. Due to the insufficient collection of some data, the relevant data on rural social
governance are not fully grasped.
2. The personal understanding of low-carbon emission policies is not deep
enough, the research on rural areas is not enough, and the impact of low-
carbon emission policies on rural social governance is not deep and
comprehensive enough.
3. Due to limited capacity, there are many deficiencies in the understanding of
rural social governance issues. The opinions and suggestions are not yet
mature and need to be further expanded and supplemented in the next step.

6. CONCLUSION
The concept of green life reveals the harmonious symbiosis between man and
nature and points out a new path to realizing the coexistence of development and
protection of ecology. Rural areas are the basic unit of society. Driven by low-carbon
emission policies, rural society has begun to gradually transition to low-carbonization.
Therefore, this paper takes the concept of green life as the core and uses SWOT
analysis to clarify the advantages and disadvantages of rural social governance. The
weight of the evaluation indicators at each level of the evaluation system for the
impact of low-carbon emission policies on rural social governance is determined by
the method, and through the comprehensive evaluation value of the social
governance effect in the past five years and the development trend of the indicator
values of rural economic development, social development, carbon emission, and
ecological environment. The following conclusions are drawn:
1.
By adopting reasonable production behaviors such as returning farmland to
forests, afforestation, land erosion control, organic matter restoration, soil
fertility restoration, improvement of feed technology, and improvement of
pasture production efficiency, it is beneficial to the absorption, fixation, and
transfer of carbon dioxide, which is beneficial to agricultural and rural areas.
Carbon emissions play the role of "reducing sources and increasing sinks",
strengthening the level of social governance to effectively control the degree of
agricultural carbon emissions, and increasing the comprehensive evaluation
value of rural social governance effects from 0.754 in 2017 to 0.81 in 2021.
2.
Use low-carbon concepts and technologies to transform and innovate rural
production and lifestyles, and break the cognitive and technical lock-in effects
by taking corresponding measures such as increasing publicity, implementing
technological transformation, guiding economic interests, establishing
supervision mechanisms, etc. Under the leadership's attention and macro-level
policy support and other relevant political measures, change the political lock-
in effect, improve the low-carbon requirements in rural areas, promote the
governance and development of a low-carbon society, and make some waste
and biological resources as organic substances and energy. In the form of
returning to agricultural production and life, reducing guanidine hydrochloride in
waste, improving soil organic matter, and increasing the production of clean
energy in rural areas. It also increases farmers' income through multiple
channels, promotes the sustainable development of agricultural and rural low-
carbon economies, and continuously increases the value of the rural economic
development index from 0.118 to 0.15.
3.
The low-carbon emission policy has expanded rural investment in related
aspects, and under the general attention of the academic community, various
research institutions have been established successively, various seminars
have been held successively, and low-carbon cooperation projects have been
carried out one after another. Social governance provides relevant theoretical,

technical, and financial support, increases the government's investment and
emphasis on agriculture, forestry, and water affairs, and greatly increases the
value of rural social development indicators, reaching the highest value in 2020
at 0.121.
4. By emphasizing that machinery, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and agricultural
films should not be used excessively, efforts should be made to control carbon
emissions from planting and animal husbandry, effectively alleviate high carbon
emissions, expand forestry coverage, and gradually enhance carbon
sequestration capabilities. The emission is relatively reduced, and the
development of fishery is encouraged under geographical restrictions, which
reduces the evaluation value of the rural carbon emission by 0.32.
5. The low-carbon emission policy requires complete water conservancy facilities,
enhances the drought resistance of farmland, maximizes the use of land under
the specified environment, and provides good financial support for the increase
of local fiscal environmental protection expenses. By turning the advantages of
its development into real economic advantages, it can improve the self-
development ability of the rural economic system and realize the leap-forward
development of low-carbon rural areas. The ecological environment index
value of the study area has increased by 0.043 within five years.
