What is neighborhood sports?

Neighborhood movement means that residents or local units are worried that construction projects (such as garbage dumps, nuclear power plants, funeral homes and other neighborhood facilities) will bring many negative effects on health, environmental quality and asset value, thus stimulating people's disgust complex and breeding the psychology of "don't build in my backyard", that is, taking strong, resolute and sometimes highly emotional collective opposition or even boycott.

In the era of industrial civilization in China, the allusion of "beggar-thy-neighbor" is another version: the local people are unwilling to bear the pollution cost of "beggar-thy-neighbor", which leads to the collective resistance of the government to introduce projects.

Government departments plan economic projects or public facilities, the benefits are enjoyed by the whole society, but the negative external effects are borne by nearby residents, so they are opposed by residents around the site.

This "neighborhood effect" of "don't build in my backyard" has become a common phenomenon in the international community; Understanding and guiding the "neighborhood effect" is also a challenge for all countries in the world.

Influencing factors of neighborhood avoidance movement:

Neighborhood effect is one of the manifestations of social failure, which means that the beneficiaries of the result are only willing to pay the cost equivalent to others, but not willing to pay high costs.

Neighborhood projects have the risk of environmental pollution and health damage, which reduces the development opportunities of the project location. Moreover, if the risk is out of control, it will lead to the destruction of the ecological environment and even affect the health of residents, which means that the project site has to bear more risks and responsibilities, thus creating the psychology that it is a policy victim and the project should not be built in my backyard.

Neighborhood effect in society is the expression of human nature and the result of entanglement between rational economic man and irrational social man, which should be solved rationally, not simply and rudely, nor can it be expected to be achieved overnight.

Some projects have potential risks of environmental pollution and human health damage, which belong to neighborhood avoidance projects.

On the one hand, its products or raw materials may have the risk of environmental pollution and human health hazards. For example, PX (p-xylene) in PX project is not a high-risk and highly toxic chemical, but it has certain toxicity, and long-term repeated direct contact or large inhalation will cause certain harm to human health; Another example is the garbage generated by the garbage incineration power generation project, which is also a solid pollutant.

On the other hand, there will be risks of secondary pollution in the construction and operation of such projects, such as soil erosion and ecological environment damage caused by the construction process, and emission of waste gas, waste water, solid waste and noise during the operation process.
