Abstract:In response to the mismatch and inconsistency between the government"s will and the cognition of various sectors of society in the construction of national park systems, this paper reveals the policy positioning, goals, and directions of national park construction, and further clarifies the governance characteristics in the practice of national park system construction. The article is based on the policy "tool goal effectiveness" analysis framework, using content analysis method and policy consistency (PMC) index model to quantitatively evaluate 106 national and provincial (district) level national park policy documents. Research has found that (1) the development of national park policy texts has significant phased characteristics, showing a shift from linear governance logic of ecological protection to integrated governance logic of ecology, economy, culture, society, etc; (2) The construction of national parks mainly adopts mandatory policy tools such as supervision and management, responsibility allocation, institutional construction, planning and control, and behavioral control for ecological protection and restoration; (3) The construction goals of national parks are overly focused on protecting natural ecosystems, with a frequency of 36.65%; (4) The effectiveness of national park policy texts mainly emphasizes the six in one policy field, the comprehensiveness of evaluation criteria, and the clarification of policy recipients, while neglecting the certainty of policy timeliness, the subdivision of policy levels, and the systematicity of policy guarantees. In view of this, the article proposes that efforts should be made to continuously improve the construction of national park policy texts from three aspects: diversified allocation of policy tools, improvement of policy objective system, and optimization of policy effectiveness mechanism.
