Abstract: The present study took the pastoral complex in Lujia Village as an example to establish a comprehensive evaluation system of land use benefit. Both analytic hierarchy process and variation coefficient method were applied to determine the weight of indexes, and the land use benefit was analyzed from aspects of social benefit, economic benefit and ecological benefit, respectively. It was shown that the proportion of social benefit, economic benefit and ecological benefit decreased successively in the early stage of pastoral complex construction in case of Lujia Village, and the comprehensive land use benefit achieved significant growth after the construction of pastoral complex. The social benefit and economic benefit increased rapidly during 2016-2017, yet the growth was limited in 2017-2018. The ecological benefit grew steadily by a little extent during 2016-2018. In general, the construction of pastoral complex had positive impact on social and economic development and environment protection, and posed remarkable impact on social and economic benefits, while its enhancement on ecological benefit was not obvious in the short term.

Key words: pastoral complex, variation coefficient method, land use evaluation
