Abstract: There are some essential differences between cropland and rangeland. Cropland can often be seen as a private renewable resource, while rangeland is usually a public renewable resource, so since the Household Responsibility System in Pasturing area (HRSP) was put in force, the so-called "tragedy of commons" in pasturing area has become worsened. The HRSP should put into account of the difference between rangeland and cropland. The government should take over the main responsibility of property rights, exclusive from herders; the HRSP should involve the household only in benefit allocation, not in rangeland utilization, and should encourage cooperation among herders, instead of building so small ranches in rangeland; and autonomous management and regional management should be encouraged, with the HRSP serving as the foundation of collective actions among herders. So it is crucial to reform the HRSP for better rangeland management. This is important for a sustainable development in pasturing area.
