Therefore, geographical endowments are important bases for the determination of the spatial allocation of compensation payments in social ecological compensation; （3） based on the EGE, the government can determine the spatial allocation of social ecological compensation scientifically, and avoid the ＂sweeping approach＂ phenomenon in the policy making process of ecological compensation.展开更多
