Abstract: The dwelling paradise reflects the vision of migrants and the ultimate goal of rural revitalization, as a manifestation of the human-land relationship with humanistic feelings, which can be used as a new yardstick for judging the realization degree of multiple goals for rural reconstruction. This study takes the migrants in Wuwei city, which is located at the foot of the Qilian Mountains on the northern edge of the mountain ranges, analyzes the differences in groups and spatial distribution of cultural elements and recognition evaluation of migrants' dwelling paradise on the identification framework, and uses Ordinal Logistic Regression to identify the obstacles and potential under multi-situation. The results show that: (1) In Wuwei city, migrants are primarily non-agricultural households and fatalists. Their main livelihood is migrant work. Income composition varies greatly among migrants of different types. (2) Expectations and standards of a dwelling paradise are diversified. The elements of migrants' paradise are centered around the family, village construction, income, opportunity, agriculture and government guarantees. A total of 54.8% of migrants believed that their current resettlement place met their inner expectations of living in a paradise. Recognition scores for dwelling paradise in Gulang county, relocated households, agricultural part-time households and autonomyists are the highest. (3) Influencing factors include the total annual income of the family, the length of residence, the ratio of minor dependents, the multiplicity of livelihood risks, vertical economic deprivation, sense of belonging and the amount of industrial input. The last four factors are the key obstacles. (4) As the relative deprivation and relationship trust variables are introduced, the positive influence of household income increases, whereas social integration causes the positive influence to decline. With the inclusion of industrial input variables, the negative effects of the multiple livelihood risks and vertical economic deprivation are reduced. The greater the investment in government industry, the more likely migrants are to increase their recognized settlements. This study extends the perspective and analytical dimension of eco-migration rural revitalization, and might be able to support the development of differentiated models for paradise construction.
