Abstract:

With the purpose of improve the habitation of the rural residents and prove up the relation between the economic income and energy consumption structure of peasant, the data about the household incomes and energy consumptions of peasants in Mentougou district of Beijing were collected. The objective of this research was to determine how the household incomes influence daily energy consumptions using regression and others statistical methods. The results showed that with the increase of household income, the total household energy comsumption elevated linearly. The total energy consumption increased 80.42 kgce with every increasing household income of 1,000 yuan.. Non-renewable energy such as coal, liquid gas and electricity etc. increased significantly while the renewable energy such as traditional biomass decreased with the increasing household per capita income. Furthermore, levels of household per capita income influenced the ratio of clean energy to non-clean energy. The proportion of non-clean energy such as coal and traditional biomass declined with increasing household per capita income. However, the ratio of clean energy comsumption such as liquid gas and electricity increased at the same time. This result indicated that the increasing per capita income probably allowed people to pay more attention to health and technologies of making energy cleaner need to be studied.
