This paper is dedicated to explore ways of new rural construction of Hainan in aspects like overall features, patterns, core motivations and endogenous capacity of sustainable development, and promote suggestions on sustainable development of Hainan civilized eco-villages construction. B. Create prosperous life with green well-off Keywords-Civilized eco-villages, Sustainability, Empirical, Research Eco-culture is the generalization of people's attitudes and activities towards nature, and corresponding belief, ideality, ideas and behaviors. Major considerations are: rural cooperative medical service coverage, rural endowment insurance coverage, average number of agricultural technician in ten thousand, Gini coefficient of rural population, popularizing rate of ecological education in small or medium-sized kindergartens, average education year of rural population, culture and entertainment spending proportion of rural area, etc. I. INTRODUCTION Since 2000, great achievement has been observed in the civilized eco-villages’ construction in Hainan, but the construction remains in its elementary stages. From the regional point of view, this paper is to study the core driving forces and endogenous capacity that influence the civilized eco-villages sustainability, and discuss the rural sustainable development of Hainan in the context of new rural construction, city and countryside integration and international tourism island construction, exemplifying the capability of developing civilized eco-villages in Hainan, and proposing the advice that international tourism island construction should be developed in the direction of benignity and mutual benefit with civilized eco-villages, the scientific foundation of development. II. INTENSION ANALYSIS OF SUSTAINABILITY A. Develop production and ecological economy Civilized eco-villages can be activated by developing green ecological tourism economy and making changes in traditional rural economic increase. Major considerations are: net income per peasant, proportion of primary industry, proportion of rural ecological tourism economy, cyclic economy giving priority of methane, popularity of methane, pollution-free fruits and proportion of agricultural acreage, etc. ____________________ This paper is supported by Hainan Ministry of Education Higher Education Research Funding "A study on civilized eco-villages sustainability in the context of Hainan international tourism island construction". Grant No.: hjgk2011-86. Green well-off means the comprehensive well-off dominated by ecological optimization. Major considerations are: Average life expectancy, Engel coefficient, living quality index, water qualification rate, life informatization degree, etc. C. Promote social development in Eco-culture D. Establish environment scientific management in ecological Ecological environment is the lifeline of sustainable development of Hainan Civilized eco-villages in both natural and civil aspects. Major considerations are: rural satisfaction of making government affairs public, rural satisfaction of social security, farmland variation in common use, ecological forest coverage, total forest coverage, average water usage in ten thousand agricultural GDP. III. SYSTEM FORMULATION ON SUSTAINABILITY A. Evaluation model of Hainan Civilized eco-villages sustainability Two key points of the model, as is shown in Fig. 1, are: the build-up of evaluation index system, and the choice of evaluation methods. Multiple-index Comprehensive Evaluating Method is a way of converting indicators with different dimensions which describe different aspects into dimensionless relative values, and combining those values into one overall evaluation[11]. Quantification: Indicators can be divided into two categories, quantitative indicators and qualitative indicators by property. Dimensionless disposal: This is also known as standardization or normalization, methods to eliminate dimensional effects via mathematical transformation. Suppose we have a linear relationship in dimensionless disposal, changes in actual value will cause proportional changes in standardized value. The formula is: Zi = ( Xi – X )/S (1) Here Xi is the actual value, X is the standardized value and S is the standard deviation. Establish index system of sustainability evaluation Gather data for evaluation S/=(Y1/, Y2/, …YN/), S/ is the actual value of indicator ,YN/ is indicator S=(Y1, Y2,…YN), S is the target value of indicator ⊿=S-S/=(Y1-Y1/,Y2-Y2/,…YM-YM/), ⊿1= Y1-Y1/ , ⊿ 2= Y2-Y2/, ⊿M= YM-YM/ ⊿=(⊿1,⊿2,…⊿M), qualified if⊿I =0, unqualified if⊿I﹥0 Data analysis and processing Get evaluation results Determine evaluation methods Expert investigation Objective method P C C A A Sustainability realization and development levels Subjective method F u z z y Comparative analysis Weight determination Establish target value of sustainability indicators Fig. 1 Evaluation model of civilized eco-villages sustainability Adjusting the formula according to the characteristics, and we get the standardization formula of reverse indicators. Some indicators are qualitatively described based on subjective judgment, which cannot be denoted by numbers but levels instead, so they should be classified into specific levels according to subjective judgment, after which scores can be acquired and standardized[8][10].。 B. Evaluation model of Hainan Civilized eco-villages sustainability Two key points of the model, as is shown in Fig. 1, are: the build-up of evaluation index system, and the choice of evaluation methods. Multiple-index Comprehensive Evaluating Method is a way of converting indicators with different dimensions which describe different aspects into dimensionless relative values, and combining those values into one overall evaluation. Index combination: an overall evaluation by combining different indicators in Multiple-index Comprehensive Evaluation. Linear Weighted Sum is a common combining technique in comparative analysis, and this paper is no exception[9]. Weight determination: weight determination methods are developed according to purpose and number of index. In the evaluation of civilized eco-villages’ construction, we choose contrastive Analysis to determine weights, regarding the multi-hierarchical characteristics of index system. C.

Reinforce protection measures on ancient villages, buildings and 4other intangible cultural heritages by bringing up a batch of influential cultural villages. Peasants should be guided to respect sciences and transform improper traditions by training and publicity, finally improving the literal and moral quality levels.。 4 REFERENCES Fig. 2. Sustainability level of Hainan civilized eco-villages in 2009(%) IV. ADVICE (1) Economic growth is the primary motivation of the sustainable development Civilized eco-villages. Longeffect mechanism should be established in developing rural ecological economy, to ensure the sustainable growth of farmers' income. Many industries can be planned surrounding the construction of international tourism island, such as village tour and agritourism, and with standards established and orderly growth, we can set up many successful examples. (2) Population quality is already a bottleneck for rural sustainability improvement, and civil ecological environment are not yet enough. Peasants should be encouraged and supported to be entrepreneurial personnel by increasing investment in rural education and training of migrant workers. (3) Large variance and pressure is observed in environmental protection level, and rural sustainable development can be ultimately ensured only by strictly prohibiting misuse of cultivated land and maintaining the dynamic balance of agricultural acreage.
