回顾与展望:近十年我国农民用水协会研究述评

Retrospect and Prospect:Review on Research of China's Water User's Association in Recent Ten Years

20世纪90年代中期以来,在我国政府的推动下,农民用水协会得到迅猛发展。研究人员围绕这一社会实践,就农民用水协会的基础研究、运行机制、作用、存在问题和解决对策等方面做了大量探讨。整体来说,既有研究在研究内容上重视对农民用水协会功能、问题与对策的研究,在研究方法上倾向于采用区域经验研究法,呈现出不成体系等特点。基于此,提出要进一步发掘农民用水协会的学术研究价值,引导其健康发展,进而更好发挥其社会价值,则需要重视农民用水协会产生和发展的社会基础等深层研究,加强系统化的规范性和实证性研究,重视多学科背景专家的研究团队建设。

Since the mid 90＇s,Water User＇s Association（WUA） has rapidly developed with the help of the Chinese government. During this time, researchers carefully studied WUA and its development. These studies focused on operating mechanism, functions, existing problems and solutions. Taken as a whole, as for the research content, the study puts the stress on functions, problems and solutions/coun- termeasures of WUA, as for the research method, the study tends to use regional experience research method,which shows immethodical characteristics. Therefore, this paper proposes that in order to fur ther explore social and academic values of WUA, guide its healthy development and better develop its so- cial values, it is necessary to attach importance to the deeper research, such as mechanical operations and social foundations, strengthen the use of historical, comparative, and quantitative analysis and pay much attention to the group constuction of scholars with multiple disciplines and varied expertises.
