his article analyzes People's Republic of China’s policies and actions regarding livestock grazing
in Inner Mongolia. A policy analysis of spatial changes in livestock grazing was conducted, and the current
situation and historical overview of the past were reviewed chronologically. In reviewing this social spatial
change in Inner Mongolia, we consider it within the context of the overall policies implemented since the
Chinese government's "Land and Pasture Ownership" policy, first implemented in 1979, to the present day.
Pasture policies and practices have shaped the livelihoods, urbanization, demographic structure, and social
change of modern Inner Mongolian herders. This article also compares and analyzes the main Western and
Eastern theories and concepts regarding social spatial change, and discusses them within the context of a
literature review.
