Abstract: In the context of poverty alleviation and relocation,livelihood capacity plays a significant role in the choice of livelihood strategies.As an analytical paradigm that integrates initiative and resistance,livelihood capacity originates from the discussion of adaptive capacity in the study of vulnerability and sustainable livelihood,and is a combination of endogenous capacity and the capacity given byexternal resources.It is a capacity structure formed by the combination of capacity and process.In the follow-up development of poverty alleviation and relocation in different places,livelihood capacity has become an important mechanism affecting the relocation of households to shake off poverty and become rich.Although the relocation families are faced with the survival challenges of landless resettlement and low mobility,the relocation of poverty alleviation in the easy place has enhanced their ability of independent choice.In the process of selection and adjustment,due to the lack of life capacity,the relocation households choose a survival strategy of pendulum mobility.In this way,they deal with the livelihood dilemma with the "replication" and "transformation" of productive elements,so they have better adapted themselves to the new environment,and formed a kind of swinging livelihood.

Key words: relocation of poverty alleviation in different places, relocation families, livelihood capacity, pendulum mobility, swinging livelihood
