Conversation with the Mayor---Topic: How to Create a National Sanitary City

Clear goals, highlight key points, and promote the creation of national sanitary cities to achieve new results

Creating sanitary cities is a practice carried out by urban residents to improve their material living space and spiritual enjoyment space. Activity. The implementation of the activities to create a national sanitary city will greatly improve the appearance and image of urban sanitation, improve the level of comprehensive urban management, and improve and expand the overall functions of the city. In recent years, our province has carried out construction work at multiple levels and in various forms, and has made breakthroughs in urban and rural environmental improvement, rural water and toilet improvements, and sanitation management in tourist attractions, which have been welcomed by the masses. Although our province's construction work has taken gratifying steps and achieved considerable development, compared with economically developed provinces and cities, there is still a big gap in the scale, grade, standards and level of construction. At present, only Licheng County in our province has entered the ranks of national sanitary towns (counties), and no city has yet entered the ranks of national sanitary cities. Facing the severe situation, complying with the laws of urban development and accelerating the pace of creating a sanitary city is a very important and arduous strategic task before us. The overall goal requirements are: striving to create national sanitary cities and sanitary villages and towns must achieve breakthroughs, that is, *** City, *** City, *** City, *** County, and other qualified cities, counties, and towns must strive to Entered the ranks of national sanitary cities and sanitary towns (counties). At the same time, it is necessary to create a rush to catch up in the province, create a number of provincial-level health cities, and improve the overall construction level of the province. Party committees and governments at all levels must enhance their sense of responsibility and urgency, and in accordance with the requirements of the 16th National Congress and the Third Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee, firmly establish and implement the Scientific Outlook on Development, clarify goals, highlight key points, pay close attention to implementation and improvement, and make great efforts to Make great efforts to find a path of creation that is suitable for local reality.

1. With disease prevention as the key goal, improve the overall level of public health. We should take improving the public health environment as a breakthrough, persist in improving indoor and outdoor environmental sanitation, effectively control environmental pollution, and maintain a clean and beautiful city environment. The work of eliminating the four pests (rats, flies, cockroaches and bedbugs) focusing on rodent control will be carried out in depth, detail and solidly, and the transmission routes of infectious diseases caused by the four pests will be cut off. Strengthen the standardized management, supervision and inspection of food hygiene, public environmental sanitation and drinking water hygiene

2. Focus on improving urban sanitation infrastructure and improve public health management capabilities. Pay attention to the combination of long-term and short-term, pay close attention to the construction of urban sewage treatment plants and garbage treatment plants, and significantly increase the urban sewage and garbage treatment rate. Standardize and build garbage bins, garbage collection points and public toilets in cities, and speed up the construction of urban environmental sanitation facilities. We will vigorously carry out comprehensive improvement of the urban environment, promote cleaner production, develop centralized heating, and build smoke control areas and noise compliance areas. Increase urban greening area and improve urban environmental quality. We will effectively strengthen environmental supervision over key enterprises, key areas and key river basins, seriously investigate and deal with various environmental violations, and resolutely prevent the occurrence of various environmental accidents.

3. Based on the overall planning of urban and rural development, focus on overall improvement. While doing a good job in creating a sanitary city, we will use points to lead areas, connect urban and rural areas, expand new areas, expand coverage, and continue to carry out in-depth activities to create national sanitary villages and towns and provincial-level advanced health units. To create sanitary villages and towns, we must carry out in-depth work on improving water supply, toilets and stoves in rural areas, change customs, pay attention to hygiene, change backward lifestyles and hygienic habits in rural areas, and solve the problems of "chaotic stacks of firewood and grass, random piles of manure and soil, random dumping of garbage, random spilling of sewage, and poultry". "Animals running wild" and other five chaotic phenomena, we actively advocate a civilized, healthy and scientific lifestyle. When the new round of "National Health Villages" evaluation is about to be launched across the country, cities must strive to be on the list and cannot fail. The work of creating advanced health units and large enterprises must further consolidate the results, improve the level, extend to advanced health communities, integrate social resources, innovate systems and mechanisms, mobilize social forces, try our best to provide good conditions, and strive to build a beautiful environment, joy and peace, and good public security new community. Responsibility systems must be implemented in units and residential areas, and the masses must be mobilized to ensure a clean environment, complete sanitation facilities, hardened roads, smooth pavements, and good greening and beautification.

3. Comprehensively popularize health education, pay attention to the cultivation of basic behavioral habits of citizens, get rid of stereotypes and bad habits, vigorously advocate a healthy and civilized lifestyle, and create a positive and healthy humanistic environment. Effectively bring patriotic health work into the legal track, advocate patriotic health work in the form of law, constrain and regulate personal behavior, give patriotic health work new connotation, new vitality and new vitality, and promote social health management to become regular and regular. Standardization and institutionalization.

1. Unify thinking and enhance confidence

In recent years, in order to speed up urban construction, the municipal party committee and municipal government have mobilized and organized the people of the city to do a lot of fruitful work. Only the urban foundation More than 1 billion yuan has been invested in the construction of facilities, which has brought fundamental changes to the three rivers and six banks, main streets, and city appearance. The city's quality has been significantly improved, and it has been highly praised by all walks of life and foreign guests. In 1998, our city won the title of "National Advanced Health City", in 2001, it was named "China's Excellent Tourism City", and in 2003, it was named "Guangdong Province Civilized City". In recent years, it has received high praise in the national city health inspection evaluation and the provincial health city review. These have laid a good foundation and created favorable conditions for our city to create a national sanitary city.

Compared with the "National Sanitary City Standards", most indicators in Shaoguan urban area have reached or basically reached the national sanitary city standards. But there is still a certain distance, and there are four outstanding problems: First, the urban domestic sewage treatment rate is only 19, and the national sanitary city standard must reach 40; second, the existing domestic waste landfill has insufficient capacity and the sewage system is not up to standard. , it is necessary to choose another site to build a new one; third, to eliminate the "four pests", according to the national sanitary city standards, three of them must meet the standards. Currently, only rodent and fly extermination meet the standards, and the other task of mosquito eradication is quite arduous; fourth, the public health Awareness needs to be strengthened. Littering, spitting, and hawking are more prominent. The sanitary conditions in urban-rural fringes, small streets, and food stalls are relatively poor.

Carrying out the creation of a national sanitary city and improving the health quality of all citizens are the inherent requirements for building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way proposed by the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and are a concrete embodiment of the important thinking of the "Three Represents". We must fully understand the necessity and importance of creating health and enhance our sense of responsibility and mission. Mainly from three aspects of unified understanding:

The creation of a national sanitary city is a concrete manifestation of the important thought of practicing the "Three Represents". Creating a beautiful and clean urban environment is an inevitable trend in urban development. With the progress of society and the improvement of people's living standards, citizens have higher and higher requirements for urban environmental sanitation. The pursuit of health and high-quality life has become the common wish of the general public. Therefore, the activity of creating a national sanitary city is a comprehensive social project that is popular among the people and is closely related to the health and vital interests of the people. All contents and indicators of creating health reflect people-oriented, with the ultimate goal of improving the level of environmental sanitation and ensuring the health of the people. Creating a national sanitary city is not an image project or a performance project, but a public support project that actually benefits the masses. It is a concrete manifestation of the important thought of "Three Represents".

Second, the creation of a national sanitary city is a concrete action to establish and implement the scientific outlook on development. The basic connotation of the Scientific Outlook on Development is to adhere to people-oriented and achieve comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable economic and social development. Chuangwei is an inevitable product of our city's social and economic development, and it is also an urgent need for social and economic development. The improvement of urban health conditions will inevitably improve the quality of life of the people, promote social harmony and stability, optimize the investment environment, and contribute to social stability and unity, and healthy economic development.

In the process of creating a national sanitary city, it embodies the people-oriented principle in terms of improving sanitation levels and ensuring the health of the people; in terms of improving the city's image, improving its competitiveness, and promoting economic development, it embodies the development of the economy. principles; from the perspective of strengthening the party's governing ability, improving social management capabilities, strengthening the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people, actively listening to public opinion, and mobilizing the whole people to participate in social innovation, it embodies the construction of political civilization; from the perspective of improving the people's awareness of In terms of hygiene awareness and hygiene level, it embodies the principle of spiritual civilization construction; in terms of improving the urban environment and reducing life pollution, it embodies the principle of sustainable development. Therefore, the entire process and actual results of health creation work are concrete actions to firmly establish and implement the scientific outlook on development.

Creating a national sanitary city is an urgent need to accelerate the economic and social development of our city. In recent years, our city has successfully created an outstanding tourist city in China and a civilized city in Guangdong Province by vigorously implementing the three strategic priorities of "investment attraction, urban construction and private economy" and focusing on "expanding the urban framework, highlighting urban characteristics, and invigorating urban management" , which has effectively promoted the continuous acceleration of our city's economic development, significantly enhanced economic strength, rapid changes in the city's appearance, continuously enhanced urban competitiveness, continuous improvement of people's living standards, and comprehensive development of various social undertakings. At present, our city's economy has entered a period of accelerated development. According to the current situation, in order to achieve the goal of "building a strong economic city in northern Guangdong and striving to be the vanguard of the development of mountainous areas in the province", we must accelerate economic development. To accelerate economic development, in the final analysis, we must improve urban competitiveness and vigorously develop the urban economy.

National Sanitary City is a very precious city business card and a considerable intangible asset for a city. Therefore, the establishment of a national sanitary city can further expand our city's popularity, enhance its image, enhance its attractiveness, and improve its competitiveness, thereby promoting the rapid economic and social development of our city and accelerating the realization of "building a strong economic city in northern Guangdong and striving to become a global city." The pace of the goal of "becoming a vanguard in the development of mountainous areas in the province".

Therefore, we must be determined and confident, adhere to the party committee leadership, government leadership, department coordination, and national participation, and with the spirit of determination and determination, we must unite as one to win the victory in creating a national sanitary city.

2. Clear goals and implement tasks

In order to do a good job in this health creation work, the municipal party committee and the municipal government carefully analyzed the background and conditions of the health creation work, and After careful study of the guiding ideology, work objectives, and main tasks, we believe that creating a sanitary city is not only necessary, but also has the foundation, conditions, and capabilities to achieve the national sanitary city standards through hard work.

The guiding ideology and work goals of our city's creation of a national sanitary city are: guided by Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of "Three Represents", establish and implement the scientific outlook on development, adhere to people-oriented, mobilize the whole party, and mobilize the whole people. Take action, implement responsibilities, work together, unite as one, and go all out to achieve the goal of national sanitary city standards in about two years. By creating a national sanitary city, we will further enhance the general public's awareness of general health, improve the city's health outlook, improve the overall level of urban health, protect people's health, create a high-quality living environment, working environment, and investment environment, comprehensively enhance the city's taste, and make Shaoguan The city will become a clean, hygienic, ecologically sound, neat and orderly city with a beautiful environment, distinctive landscape characteristics, and full of vitality and vitality, promoting the construction of "three civilizations", a harmonious society, and sustainable development.

The creation of national sanitary city standards includes 10 aspects, more than 60 projects, and 768 scoring contents. The main contents include patriotic health organization management, health education, city appearance and environmental sanitation, environmental protection, sanitation in public places and drinking water sanitation, food hygiene, prevention and control of infectious diseases, elimination of "four pests" in urban areas, units and residential areas 10 aspects including health and public opinion polls.

According to the provisions of the "National Sanitary City Standards" and the "National Sanitary City Assessment and Naming Methods", in addition to being a provincial-level sanitary city, all applicants who apply for a national sanitary city must also meet five conditions (i.e. hard indicators): First, urban life The harmless treatment rate of garbage is ≥ 80; second, the urban domestic sewage treatment rate is ≥ 40; third, the green coverage rate of built-up areas is ≥ 40, and the per capita green area is ≥ 6 square meters; fourth, the annual daily average of total suspended particles in the atmosphere (TSP) ≤ 0.08 mg/cubic meter (southern cities); Fifth, in urban areas, three of the tasks of rodent control, fly control, mosquito control and cockroach control must meet the standards stipulated by the National Patriotic Association and the other shall not exceed Three times the national standard. Comparing the above-mentioned 10 aspects of the National Sanitary City Standards and the 5 application conditions, the following aspects need to be strengthened in order to meet the National Sanitary City Standards.

1. Accelerate the construction of urban infrastructure and improve urban functions.

Urban infrastructure construction is the foundation for sanitation and it also costs the most money. According to the standards, we must focus on the construction of the following projects within two years:

1. Speed ??up sewage treatment The construction of treatment plants will ensure that the urban domestic sewage treatment rate reaches more than 40%. The construction of the second sewage treatment plant will start in the first half of this year and will be put into use before the end of the year.

2. Accelerate the construction of garbage disposal sites to ensure that the harmless treatment rate of garbage reaches standards. The newly built garbage disposal site must be constructed according to standards, and construction should be started as soon as possible and put into use by the end of next year.

3. Accelerate the hardening of urban roads and the transformation of urban sewer pipe networks. The urban-rural fringe (villages in the city), small streets and alleys, and urban fringe areas have not yet fully achieved hardening, and there is a phenomenon of bare soil, which can easily form sanitary dead corners. The mixed use of sewer drainage and sewage pipe networks in urban areas has put great pressure on the harmless treatment of domestic sewage in our city, and the transformation task is very arduous. We must start by solving outstanding problems, raise funds, and speed up transformation to meet the requirements.

4. Build and renovate a number of public toilets with higher standards, add necessary sanitation machinery and facilities, and strengthen cleaning capabilities and the operating capabilities of garbage transfer stations.

2. Achieve compliance with mosquito control standards and consolidate the results of rodent control and fly control.

Getting rid of the "four pests" is the threshold for obtaining the qualification of a national sanitary city. If you fail to achieve it, you will not be able to enter the national sanitary city. Among the "four pests", our city achieved the standards of "rat and fly eradication" in 1989 and 1997 respectively, but still fell short of one item. From now on, on the basis of consolidating the results of rodent control and fly control, we must carry out mosquito control work to achieve the three standards of eliminating "four pests". We will continue to adhere to the principle of combining professional teams with mass movements, combining environmental management with drug disinfection, and combining regular operations with surprise attacks. We will actively carry out mass patriotic health campaigns, carry out environmental sanitation, clear dead corners, and eliminate breeding sites. Meeting mosquito control standards should be the focus of eliminating the "four pests". At present, the mosquito control infrastructure in urban areas of our city is still very weak. Open ditches are common in urban areas and there are still many places where water accumulates. To achieve mosquito control standards, we must first mobilize the masses to improve their respective environmental sanitation, eliminate stagnant water, and eliminate mosquito breeding grounds. Secondly, it is required to organize efforts to fully install facilities with "four prevention devices" as soon as possible in urban streets, alleys, unit residential areas, etc. Third, clarify responsibilities, scientifically divide work, and implement a target management responsibility system in accordance with the principle of "managing each department and integrating each department" to ensure that responsibilities are in place and assigned to each person. Fourth, in accordance with the principle of "treating both the symptoms and root causes, and eliminating the root cause", strengthen environmental sanitation improvement and drug spraying.

Third, strengthen urban management and rectify dirty, chaotic and poor areas.

The city's urban-rural fringe, small streets, alleys, urban fringes and markets are still relatively dirty and messy, with phenomena such as random selling, parking, posting, and hanging. Look up. To solve these problems, we must follow four principles. First, the principle of property rights management. Whoever owns the property rights is responsible for it. It is your industry and you have to manage it, including the management of sanitation. Second, according to the industry management principle, the competent department of that industry shall be responsible for the management of that industry. Third, the principle of regional management (that is, the principle of territoriality), these health dead spots will be managed by that region wherever they are located.

Fourth, based on the principle of functional management, all unfinished buildings and public housing will be managed by the Municipal Construction Bureau. All market operators and operators have the responsibility to improve environmental sanitation, and the industrial and commercial administration departments and the Municipal Economic and Trade Bureau must strengthen supervision and management in accordance with the law. Sub-district offices and neighborhood committees have the responsibility to supervise all sanitation dead spots within the region. Any place that occupies the road for business, sells indiscriminately, throws, vomits, posts indiscriminately, or builds indiscriminately shall be rectified and supervised by the urban management department. All districts and relevant departments must effectively perform their functions, organize forces, pay close attention to implementation, and eliminate dirt, chaos, and errors.

Fourth, strengthen food hygiene and public place hygiene supervision.

The health department should take the initiative to work with relevant departments such as industry and commerce, food and medicine, quality supervision, agriculture, education, etc. to strengthen the "five major health systems" including food hygiene, school hygiene, public place hygiene, occupational hygiene and drinking water hygiene. "Supervision and management. Regarding the sanitation issues of mobile street stalls, market cooked food stalls and snack shops, as well as the issue of operating on the road, urban management, health, industry and commerce and other departments must intensify law enforcement. The health department must step up inspection and supervision of health problems that exist in public places such as movie theaters, dance halls, saunas, and hair and beauty salons.

5. Strengthen environmental protection.

Conscientiously implement the "Environmental Protection Law", strengthen the online supervision and control system of pollution sources in key enterprises, continue to clean up and rectify illegal pollutant discharge enterprises, carry out rectification projects to make the river water clear in the Zhenjiang River section, reduce smoke pollution, and protect water sources, investigate and deal with illegal activities that violate environmental protection regulations, eliminate hidden dangers of major environmental pollution accidents, and ensure that various indicators meet standard requirements.

6. Strengthen hygiene awareness and develop good hygiene habits.

Creating a national hygienic city must start with everyone developing good hygiene habits. The purpose of creating a national health city is to promote a scientific and civilized lifestyle and improve citizens' self-care capabilities. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out extensive health education, cultivate healthy psychological quality, and form a good social custom in the whole society that "starts with me, everyone pays attention to hygiene, and everyone loves cleanliness".

7. Do a good job in collecting and compiling information.

The application materials for the National Sanitary City are large, systematic and comprehensive, requiring full support and active cooperation from the three district governments and various functional departments of the city. All departments and units must start from now on and designate dedicated personnel to compare the "Standards" and collect, compile and organize them with high requirements and high quality. These materials include a full set of documents, supporting information and original materials declared to the province and the country, such as domestic sewage treatment plants, water plants, garbage disposal sites, health education, density monitoring data for the removal of "four pests", etc. These materials are necessary and must be checked, and they must be done well.

3. Carefully organize and strive for practical results

The municipal party committee and municipal government have formulated the "Shaoguan City Work Plan for Creating a National Sanitary City" and will use about two years to achieve the goal of creating a national sanitary city. Time is tight, the tasks are heavy, and the requirements are high. We must strengthen organizational leadership, take immediate action, and do everything possible to do all the work to create a national sanitary city.

First, strengthen leadership and pay close attention to implementation. In order to effectively strengthen the organizational leadership of sanitation work, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government decided to establish a Shaoguan City Leading Group for Creating a National Sanitary City, with Mayor Xu Jianhua as the leader, Executive Vice Mayor Chen Luping as the executive deputy leader, and Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee Member Li Ping. Vice Mayors Qiu Longji and Zhang Zhicai serve as deputy team leaders, with the three municipal districts and 32 related departments as members. There is an office under it, with Yang Xiaoming, secretary-general of the municipal government, as the director of the office, who is specifically responsible for the organization, coordination, and coordination of health creation work. Coordinate and supervise inspections and other work. Each district and each responsible department must also set up working groups accordingly, with the top leader taking overall responsibility and the leaders in charge of specific tasks to carry out the sanitation work in their respective jurisdictions and departments in an organized and planned manner. At the same time, responsibilities must be implemented at all levels: first, according to the national sanitary city standards and target requirements, tasks must be decomposed to various districts and relevant responsible units, and implementation must be carried out according to the principle of "who is in charge, who is responsible"; second, tasks must be implemented at the street level Sign responsibility letters with factories, mines, enterprises, and grassroots at all levels, and implement them at all levels; third, we must mobilize the enthusiasm of the people in the city to create health, turn government decisions into conscious actions of the masses, and ensure that the creation goals are achieved as scheduled.

Second, unity and cooperation, overall linkage.

Creating a national sanitary city is a systematic project with wide coverage and high work correlation, involving all aspects of work. Therefore, all district governments and departments must unite and cooperate, work together, each perform their duties and responsibilities, so that there are people at every level and people at every level to manage, and they must do a good job one by one according to time, progress, quality and quantity. implement. You can't negotiate terms, prices, or pass the buck. All units and departments must give green light to all the work involved in creating health, deal with urgent matters urgently, handle special matters with due diligence, take the initiative to serve, and work together to ensure that all work in creating health is implemented.

Three national mobilization, everyone participates. The campaign to create a national sanitary city must be made known to every household, known to everyone, and participated by all people. Propaganda work must be carried out throughout the entire health creation process. News media such as newspapers, television stations, radio stations, etc. should create promotional columns and vigorously carry out publicity reports. TV and radio stations should broadcast Chuangwei's propaganda during prime time. All sub-district offices and community committees should publicize sanitation activities through wall posters, blackboards, slogans and other forms. All agencies, groups, schools, hospitals, factories and mines should also vigorously publicize them. The Municipal Health Creation Office should hold a good briefing on health creation, promptly report the situation and release information on health creation, summarize and exchange practices and experiences in a timely manner, and praise good ones and criticize bad ones. It is necessary to produce large-scale health promotion billboards at the city's main entrances and exits and major urban public places, install relevant advertisements in bus shelters, and print a batch of health promotion leaflets or brochures to distribute to residents. At the same time, we actively seek for higher-level news units to publicize our city's health creation work. We need to set off a publicity climax for health creation throughout the city, build momentum, and create a strong atmosphere for health creation.

Fourth, focus on key and difficult points and advance comprehensively. It is necessary to control the "National Sanitary City Standards" and task objectives, and follow the working principle of "grasping key points, breaking through difficulties, and advancing comprehensively" to conscientiously do a good job in the creation work. It is necessary to take the elimination of "four pests", environmental sanitation improvement and enhancing citizens' health awareness as breakthroughs, implement responsibilities, implement measures, implement personnel, and continuously advance to effectively solve outstanding problems in the creation work. To achieve the goals of health creation, a large amount of funds need to be invested, and multiple channels such as financial investment, investment promotion, and social fundraising must be adopted to solve the problem. Fiscal investment is mainly used for the construction of urban public infrastructure; if it can be solved using the operation of the market economy, it must be solved by attracting investment and absorbing social funds; the required capital investment in the front and courtyard of each unit and department shall be provided by each department. Units and departments must raise their own funds to solve the problem.

Five, do a good job in supervision and inspection, and implement tasks at each stage. The health creation work is roughly divided into three stages: publicity and start-up, construction to meet the standards, and sprint to meet the standards. The work tasks of each stage must be implemented. In the first half of this year, basic work such as formulating target planning and implementation plans, implementing responsibilities, and publicity and mobilization will be completed, and the work of creating a national sanitary city will be fully launched. Before the end of the year, we will mainly complete the provincial survey on mosquito control standards, the construction of the second domestic sewage treatment plant in the urban area, and start the construction of a harmless treatment site for urban garbage. The first half of 2006 is the sprint stage for "Chuangwei" to reach the standard. All responsible units in each district must compare their responsibility goals, determine people, time, and tasks, and do everything possible to complete the work of creating sanitation. The Municipal Establishment Leading Group will organize regular or irregular supervision and inspections. Adopt a combination of individual inspections and comprehensive inspections, and a combination of temporary inspections and regular inspections to discover problems in a timely manner and make rectifications within a time limit to form a set of supervision and restraint mechanisms. The procedure for declaring a national sanitary city is to first be recommended by the Provincial Patriotic Association, and then the National Patriotic Association organizes relevant experts to review, organize surveys and unannounced visits based on the review results, and then carry out assessment, identification, and naming. Therefore, we must do all our work thoroughly and withstand inspections (undercover visits).

Comrades, the work of creating a national sanitary city is time-tight, the task is heavy, difficult, demanding and wide-ranging. I believe that as long as we establish the determination and confidence to win, carry forward the spirit of Shaoguan people to do great things, and rely on the joint efforts of the people of the city, we will be able to achieve the goal of creating a national sanitary city.
