Development of Zhongshan Cemetery Administration Bureau

With the acceleration of urbanization, the potential ecological value and brand effect of Zhongshan Cemetery Scenic Area have become increasingly prominent. However, the phenomenon of incompatibility between the scenic area and the various honors of the national key scenic spots still exists. Due to various reasons left over from history, there are nearly 100 units in the scenic area. The number of outsiders is constantly increasing. The land in the scenic area is constantly being encroached on. Illegal buildings are repeatedly prohibited, and the surrounding environment is dirty and messy. In 2004, the scenic spot decided to invest nearly 4 billion to implement comprehensive environmental improvement of the Sun Yat-sen Cemetery Scenic Spot. At present, 2 billion yuan has been invested, and more than half of the comprehensive environmental improvement tasks have been completed. The scenic area has a completely new look.

(1) Take high starting point planning as the guide. To protect scenic areas, planning is the first step. Scientifically formulating and implementing plans and correctly handling the contradiction between resource protection and development are important prerequisites and foundations for the sound development of various tasks in the scenic area. In March 2004, the "Detailed Plan of Zhongshan Cemetery Scenic Area" passed the expert review. In April, it was approved by the Provincial Department of Construction and reported to the National Ministry of Construction for filing. The approval of the "Detailed Regulations" provides planning basis and guiding opinions for the comprehensive improvement of the environment of the Zhongshan Cemetery Scenic Area. In May, the headquarters invited the American Yidao Company to conduct the "Planning and Design of the Outer Edge Scenic Area of ??Zhongshan Scenic Area". In August, it passed the expert review and was announced to the public. This plan effectively integrates various resources within the scenic area on the basis of strictly protecting the core area of ??the scenic area. Adhere to the ecology and naturalness of the scenic area, emphasize the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, and emphasize the coordinated development of the city and ecology. Taking into consideration the fact that the scenic spot is in the center of the city, the plan also carries out special designs for road traffic inside and outside the scenic spot. In April 2005, the Environmental Engineering Assessment Center of the State Environmental Protection Administration issued a technical assessment report on the environmental impact report for comprehensive improvement of the scenic environment.

(2) Make every effort to solve the problem of demolition. With the strong support of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, the renovation project is progressing smoothly and is being implemented in an orderly manner according to the established plan. The comprehensive environmental improvement plan is to demolish 13 existing natural villages, 9 residential areas, 31 industrial and enterprise units and more than 3,700 households in the scenic area. The total planned demolished building area is 700,000 square meters. In the demolition work, the party committee of our bureau attached great importance to it, made careful arrangements, and actively participated in the work of cadres and workers. It has organized more than 140 cadres from the government to clarify the division of labor and assign responsibilities to people. They will come to publicize policies and assist in relocation. The staff took the trouble to publicize the policy to the demolition workers, patiently and meticulously did a good job in the ideological work of the workers, and tried every means to solve the demolition problems. They conscientiously implemented the guiding ideology of "people-oriented, affectionate operation" in their work, put themselves in the shoes of the workers, and helped workers in need to effectively solve practical problems. question. The 740 demolition households directly undertaken by our bureau were all moved out of the scenic area in just two months, becoming a "model" move for our city to break through the difficulties of demolition, which has been fully affirmed by the leaders of the municipal party committee and government and widely praised by all sectors of society. . Since the demolition of the Weituo Lane area was first launched in May 2004, the first phase of the renovation project has been completed, and the demolition work of the three remaining areas of the second phase of renovation is in progress.

(3) Comprehensively launch the “one ring and two areas” project. According to the environmental improvement project construction plan, the "one ring and two areas" construction project has been started. The "one ring" refers to the inner ring road, and the "two sections" refer to the Meihuashan expansion (Plum Blossom Valley) section and the Dongdamen section.

The inner ring road (Taipingmen-Dongdaemun) is 10.9 kilometers long. The function of the inner ring road is, firstly, to connect the outer edge scenic spots in the scenic spot, and secondly, to form the traffic distribution system of the scenic spot with other peripheral roads, and to conditionally control the traffic from the city through right-of-way management to reduce air pollution. and noise pollution. The third is to create new landscape paths and tourist experiences to showcase the rich resource landscapes along the route. The inner ring road was completed and opened to traffic in October 2005.

Meihua Mountain expansion (Plum Blossom Valley). The construction of the park will combine the protection of the Ming Xiaoling World Cultural Heritage and the expansion of the Meihuashan Plum Garden. Through a large number of plum blossoms and other garden landscape construction, the "No. 1 Plum Mountain in the World" will be built, with an area of ??1,500 acres and more than 30,000 plum blossoms planted. The park's greening, landscape construction and tourist supporting facilities have been fully completed and officially opened to tourists at the opening of the Nanjing International Plum Blossom Festival in 2006.

Maqunpian is the east gate construction, mainly including the east entrance reception center and large parking lot. It is the gateway to the scenic area to welcome tourists from the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway and nearby urban arterial roads. The construction of this project is about to be completed.

After the comprehensive environmental improvement project is completed, the overall pattern and landscape environment of the scenic area will be qualitatively improved, becoming a new highlight of the ISO14000 national demonstration area. In 2004, our bureau completed the restructuring and transformation of the bureau-affiliated commercial institutions. Eight commercial institutions that were originally engaged in scenic garden construction, tourism development, business services, image photography, Baima Park and real estate management were restructured and converted into enterprises.

In order to ensure that the ecological environment will not be destroyed due to restructuring, we have explored a new path for restructuring. In accordance with the national "Interim Regulations on the Management of Scenic and Historic Areas", "Regulations on the Management of Scenic and Historic Areas in Jiangsu Province", and "Nanjing Municipal Government" In accordance with the relevant provisions of the "Regulations on the Management of Zhongshan Cemetery Scenic Area" and the policies and regulations on franchising of brother provinces and cities, the "Zhongshan Cemetery Scenic Area Franchise Management Measures (Trial)" were formulated.

The promulgation of the "Measures" has better solved the contradiction between the ownership and management rights of commercial institutions and the ownership and management of land, real estate and unique and scarce scenic resources in scenic spots, and has provided a good foundation for the improvement of the landscape and environment of scenic spots. Protection provides a legal basis. The implementation of the "Measures" provides strong supervision for the restructured companies to engage in production, operation and service activities in the scenic area, and strengthens the environmental protection functions of the administration. The Ministry of Construction held an on-site meeting in Nanjing in May 2004 to promote our experience in scenic spots across the country.

In order to ensure the operation of the new mechanism, on April 9, 2004, the Administration signed a franchise contract with the new enterprise after restructuring. In accordance with the "Measures", the ecological environment is effectively protected through the contract. For example: In September 2004, during the maintenance of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum road, the construction unit Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Real Estate Company had a weak awareness of environmental protection, causing undue damage to ancient and famous trees. The administration fined it 10,000 yuan. In May 2005, a tourism company built communication facilities in an amusement park without permission, and the administration forcibly demolished them on the 12th of that month. Since the company's restructuring, we have investigated and dealt with nearly 20 cases of behavior that had a negative impact on the environment.

The practice of the past two years has shown that the implementation of franchise management measures is an effective way to standardize the behavior of restructured companies and realize the protection of scenic area resources and environment. In accordance with the standard requirements, in order to maintain and maintain the natural ecosystem of the scenic area, our bureau issued and implemented the "Ecological Scenic Area Construction Outline" on September 16, 2004. The ecological scenic spot is an advanced model of scenic spot development established in the Sun Yat-sen Cemetery Scenic Spot based on the requirements of the Scientific Outlook on Development and ecological principles. It is based on the premise of sustainable utilization of resources and ecological environment protection, on the principle of coordinating the harmonious development of man and nature, relying on modern science and technology to protect, manage and utilize resources, giving full play to the advantages and resource potential of diverse species allocation, and creating a good Scenic spots with natural ecological conditions, beautiful natural and cultural landscapes, high-quality service facilities and management levels, and the ability to advocate and carry out eco-tourism.

The goal of the "Outline" is: by 2010, build the Sun Yat-sen Cemetery Scenic Area into a scenic area with strict ecological protection, rich ecological species, excellent ecological environment, balanced ecosystem, prosperous ecological culture, and development of ecological tourism. , realize a virtuous cycle of the natural ecosystem, and play a radiating demonstration function in the process of Nanjing's construction of "Ecological Nanjing". The implementation schedule of the "Outline" has been scheduled. We will enhance environmental awareness through organizing publicity and education; use environmental systems to improve management levels; raise funds and increase investment; invest in scientific research talents to improve scientific and technological levels; transform management functions and provide systems Guarantees and other measures will be taken to ensure that the goals of the Outline are achieved as scheduled. In accordance with the environmental policy of our bureau and combined with the actual work, we focused on environmental performance and strengthened the following work:

(1) Taking the opportunity of declaration to improve the environment. Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It is one of the largest existing imperial mausoleums in my country. In order to better protect this precious historical and cultural resource, since August 2000, our bureau has officially launched the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum application for the "Ming and Qing Royal Mausoleums" world cultural heritage expansion project and in accordance with the "World Cultural and Natural Heritage Convention" 》Regarding the six standards of "cultural heritage", the comprehensive environmental improvement project of Ming Xiaoling Protected Area will be fully implemented. The cultural relics protection and environmental improvement of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum are carried out from the inside out, "first the body and then the environment". There are 22 major renovation projects and nearly 50 sub-projects. The cultural relics are "renovated as they were before". The results of the renovation and environmental improvement have been fully recognized by experts from the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and people from all walks of life. On July 4, 2003, Ming Xiaoling Tomb was included in the World Cultural Heritage List.

(2) Strengthen biodiversity protection. After years of protection and management, the scenic area is now rich in forest resources, with more than 600 vegetation tree species in 113 families, including 470 rare trees of 28 species. The forest coverage rate of the scenic area has reached 70.2%, and the greening construction is still at 20 per year. The rate of growth of 10,000 plants (holes). In terms of the prevention and control of pine wood nematode, a series of scientific research results have been achieved, which has effectively curbed the spread of pine wood nematode disease and has been recognized and praised by experts at home and abroad. There are also many types of animals in the scenic area, with 63 species of birds alone. The gray magpies that were artificially raised by our bureau in the past have multiplied and now have become a common bird in the scenic area and can be seen everywhere. A relatively stable biological chain has been formed in the scenic area, presenting a scene of "birds singing and flowers fragrant". In 2003, the scenic spot was approved as a national forest park by the Ministry of Forestry.

(3) Ensure the safety of forests in scenic spots. In accordance with system requirements, we have established and maintained emergency preparedness and response procedures to identify potential accidents and emergencies, respond promptly, reduce environmental risks, and avoid economic losses. Since the operation of the system, we have strengthened the control of potential accidents and emergencies, strictly implemented relevant regulations, and paid close attention to fire drills to ensure nothing goes wrong. Last winter and this spring, forest fires broke out twice in the Hengshan branch of Dongshanqiao Forest Farm in Jiangning District. The provincial and municipal fire prevention headquarters requested reinforcements from the forest fire brigade of our bureau. We activated the emergency plan and rushed to the scene quickly. Our rapid response and fire-fighting capabilities were greatly affected. High praise from city leaders.

Through special management, the environmental quality of the scenic spot has been significantly improved, it has promoted the progress of environmental protection work, and accumulated valuable experience in concentrating efforts to solve difficult problems.

Through the creation of ISO14000 national demonstration areas, the environmental conditions of the scenic spots have been greatly improved, and tourist satisfaction and reputation, as well as the number of tourists, have also increased significantly. "There is paradise above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below, and the most beautiful thing is the Nanjing Green Corridor." The environment promotes economic growth. In 2003, 2004, and 2005, the tourism revenue of the scenic spot was 120 million yuan, 145 million yuan, and 168 million yuan respectively, with annual growth rates Reaching 21% and 16%, exceeding the 12.4% growth level of the national tourism industry in 2005. Practice has proved that the creation of national demonstration areas has promoted the development of scenic tourism economy. Looking back at the achievements made in the creation of the demonstration area, our main experiences are as follows:

(1) Seize the opportunity and improve the environment of the scenic spot

In 2004, the municipal party committee and the municipal government decided to invest in nearly 40 We believe that this is a once-in-a-lifetime historical opportunity to implement the comprehensive environmental improvement of the Sun Yat-sen Cemetery Scenic Area. It can solve the problems that we have been hoping to solve for many years but have been unable to solve. We are determined to seize this rare opportunity, take advantage of the situation, and adhere to the natural ecological environment. Focusing on and focusing on "mountains, water, and green", we will build Zhongshan Scenic Area into a national first-class, shocking and influential "work that carries the tripod", fully demonstrating the charm of Zhongshan Scenic Area's real mountains and waters. During the comprehensive environmental improvement, nearly 7,000 acres of green space will be added to the scenic spot. The forest coverage rate of Purple Mountain will increase from the current 70.2% to 80% in 2010. This will directly contribute to increasing Nanjing’s green GDP, creating a good living environment, and maintaining the city. Contribute to ecological balance.

On April 27, 2005, Kuomintang Chairman Lien Chan led a delegation to visit Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Under the severe situation of cross-strait relations, this move attracted worldwide attention, and domestic and foreign media followed up and reported the entire process. The administration seized the opportunity and demolished three street stalls. The three road stalls have been operating for more than 20 years, with an annual income of nearly 5 million yuan. However, they have a negative impact on the landscape and do not meet the landscape requirements of international first-class scenic spots. We seized the opportunity of important receptions and properly handled various conflicts. It solves the problems left over from history and improves the image of the scenic spot.

(2) Integrate the forces of all parties to jointly protect the environment

The environmental work in the Zhongshan Cemetery Scenic Area is extensive and large-scale, and has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. We must continue to To improve the level of protection management, we must draw on the strength of all parties, mobilize various positive factors, mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties, and jointly protect the scenic environment.

Incorporate the restructured company into the environmental management system. In 2003, in accordance with the principles of "decoupling, classification, transformation and revitalization", our bureau carried out property rights system reform on operating companies, implemented asset reorganization, personnel transfer and labor relations adjustment. After the restructuring, all companies were converted into private enterprises, and management Bureau "decoupled". Considering that the production, activities and services of various restructured companies are mainly carried out in scenic areas, their environmental behavior must be strengthened. After repeated efforts, our bureau has incorporated 6 restructured companies into the environmental management system, ensuring that all business activities and services of the restructured companies are under the supervision of the system, achieving effective control of important environmental factors and promoting environmental management of scenic spots Work.

Strengthen the influence on relevant parties. Within the scope of the Sun Yat-sen Cemetery Scenic Area, there are 96 large and small units such as scientific research institutions, institutions, schools, hotels, sanatoriums, and military units. Through environmental remediation, 31 polluting enterprises were moved out of the scenic area. Encouraging policies were formulated to promote the establishment of an environmental management system, and a "Notice on the Establishment of ISO14001 Environmental Management System" was issued to units stationed in the scenic area, and 6 regulations including financial support and rewards and commendations were formulated. Many units in the area have established environmental management systems. . After repeated publicity and education and multiple inspections and supervision by our bureau, the Nanjing Military Region Hotel in the scenic area quit occupying forest land. The 73670 troops built two garbage transfer stations by themselves to regularly transport garbage out of the scenic area. The provincial Zhongshan Cadre Sanatorium and the International Conference Hotel , Zhongshan Institute of Botany and other large units stationed in the area have built sewage treatment systems.

Mobilize citizens to participate in environmental protection. We attach great importance to publicizing environmental protection to citizens by setting up large-scale environmental policy billboards at the main entrances of each scenic spot, placing various signboards to protect forest vegetation in the main scenic areas, and setting up billboards promoting the deeds of advanced environmentally friendly citizen Chai Ganyue at each entrance to the mountain. We have distributed leaflets on environmental protection to mountaineers, launched a campaign for tens of thousands of people to pick up garbage on mountain climbs, and formed a team of environmental protection volunteers to guide and educate tourists to protect the environment of the scenic spot and establish a good tourism order. Under our long-term publicity and guidance, protecting Mother Mountain has become a conscious behavior of Nanjing citizens, and many touching stories have emerged like the old man Chai Ganyue who has been protecting the ecological environment of Purple Mountain for several years.

(3) Apply scientific and technological means to improve management capabilities

In the work of the demonstration area, we adhere to scientific planning and scientific research, promote system development, and promote the continuous improvement of scenic area management capabilities. We have made full use of the relatively concentrated advantages of Nanjing's higher education institutions and relied on the wisdom of professors and scholars to promote the protection of landscape resources and the environment. Cooperated with Nanjing University to complete the "Zhongshan Scenic Area Tourism Development Plan", and cooperated with Southeast University to compile the "Zhongshan Cemetery Scenic Area Detailed Regulations". We asked the Jiangsu Provincial Forestry Survey Institute to assist in completing the inventory of forest resources in the Sun Yat-sen Cemetery Scenic Area. In July 2004, we cooperated with Nanjing Forestry University and planned to spend three years conducting an inventory of the animal resources in the scenic area.

On the basis of planning and scientific research results, environmental construction and environmental protection work in scenic spots are more feasible and scientific.

In 2004, our bureau established the "3S" system (satellite remote sensing RS, global positioning system GPS and geographical information system GIS), established an accurate and efficient monitoring system for ecological scenic spots, and monitored the forest landscape resources in scenic spots. Provide visual information support for current status and dynamic changes, conduct timely and accurate monitoring, and provide basis for various planning and designs. Currently, the "Digital Zhongshan" project that uses a multimedia display system to show the charm of Zhongshan and the spirit of Zhongshan is also being studied. It is expected that an expert appraisal meeting will be held at the end of 2006 for acceptance.

(4) Strengthen three-level monitoring and maintain continuous improvement of the system

Under the auspices of the top manager, our bureau organizes members of the bureau leadership team to conduct environmental management theory and knowledge training every year , has become a routine; a management review with the participation of all middle-level cadres is organized every year to evaluate the operation of the system and study the next step and the future development direction of the system. Through our repeated publicity, education, and training, the environmental awareness of all employees has gradually improved. After the environmental awareness of the leadership increased, environmental protection was emphasized in decision-making. Since its establishment, nearly half of the overall key goals have been closely related to environmental protection every year. After the environmental awareness of middle-level cadres increased, they paid attention to environmental protection in investment promotion, project construction and operation and management. In the comprehensive environmental improvement, environmental protection was taken as an important indicator and every effort was made to reduce the impact on the environment. Employees gradually formed the attitude of saving water, saving electricity and saving energy. With good habits of saving oil and paper, water and electricity consumption have dropped significantly after the operation of the scenic area system. In 2002, they dropped by 29.2% and 21.2%; in 2003, they dropped by 10% and 7%; in 2004, they dropped by 2% and 7%.

We have paid special attention to the training of internal auditors since the establishment of the system. Internal auditors implement the AB system, with two internal auditors in one unit. As professional talents, they are uniformly managed by the Bureau's Human Resources Department to ensure the relative stability of the internal auditor team in our bureau and the continuity of system work. In August 2003, the Promotion Office sent two internal auditors to participate in external auditor training to improve the system management level. In August 2004, we sent 13 environmental management staff to participate in internal auditor training, further enriching the internal auditor team. In July 2005, we organized training on the new standard. The Promotion Office also organizes 3-5 internal auditor trainings every year based on the specific conditions of system operation. Through multi-level and multi-form training, the environmental management capabilities of internal auditors are improved. Through the solid work of the internal auditor team, we strictly implement three-level monitoring, promptly discover deficiencies and weak links in the environmental management system during the three-level monitoring, and take preventive and improvement measures to achieve the purpose of continuously improving the environmental management system.

(5) Gaps and improvement directions

The operation of the system focuses on continuous improvement. We will focus on improving the following work in the near future:

1. Water environment work must be highly Pay attention to. The water body in the scenic area is an important natural landscape. The overall water environment quality is good, but the water surface area is small and there are varying degrees of siltation. We plan to carry out dredging work in conjunction with comprehensive environmental improvement, expand the lake area and water capacity, and pay attention to strengthening the ecological landscaping of the revetments. At the same time, we will continue to implement "rainwater and sewage diversion" to ensure that all sewage is effectively collected and connected with urban sewage pipes. The system is well connected to prevent surface water pollution.

2. Air pollution and noise pollution need to be effectively controlled. Zhongshan is the basis for the oxygen balance of 6 million people in Nanjing. It is an important purifier for absorbing urban CO2 and other pollutants. The total economic value of ecological assets generated by the scenic spot every year reaches 1.31 billion yuan. However, due to the impact of traffic, there is still air pollution and noise pollution in the scenic area. With the deepening of comprehensive environmental improvement work, the scenic spot is about to face changes in the overall traffic pattern and the redistribution of the outer edge scenic spots. We will combine the construction of the inner ring road, main entrances and parking lots to formulate a hierarchical management plan for scenic spot road rights as soon as possible. Reasonably control the entry of social vehicles and try to operate environmentally friendly vehicles internally to effectively reduce exhaust emissions and noise pollution.

3. There is an urgent need to vigorously introduce and train professional talents. Developing human resources is the key to the protection, management and development of scenic spots. The top priority is to recruit talents with professional environmental protection knowledge, cultivate a group of outstanding management talents, give full play to people’s subjective initiative, and provide Promote the human resource guarantee needed for the ISO14001 construction and development of scenic spots.

4. The impact on relevant parties still needs to be gradually strengthened. Due to administrative system reasons, we do not have the ability to directly intervene with relevant parties stationed in the scenic area and can only provide positive guidance. At present, we must seize the opportunity of comprehensive renovation, use the influence of the provincial and municipal governments to coordinate and solve some historical problems, gradually clean up some buildings that are inconsistent with the plan and inconsistent with the landscape, control the expansion of units stationed in scenic spots in accordance with the law, and prevent land encroachment and Establish charter construction and do a good job in environmental protection publicity and education to jointly protect the natural landscape, cultural landscape and ecological landscape of the scenic area.

The process of building a demonstration area is a process in which we continue to learn, improve, and improve. Through creation, we have improved the modernization level of scenic spot management, transitioned from decentralized, partial, and short-term management behaviors to overall, macro, and long-term management, and from low levels to high standards and high levels, and continuously improved the scientific nature of management behaviors. , systematicity and continuity.

Through creation, we continue to make progress and continuously improve in environmental construction, environmental management, environmental quality, etc., and the environmental conditions of the scenic area have been greatly improved. The ISO14001 environmental management system has laid a solid foundation and provided great impetus for the sustainable development of scenic spots. Sun Yat-sen Cemetery Scenic Area will strictly comply with standard requirements, strictly protect scenic resources, insist on continuous improvement, and strive to create a "domestic first-class, internationally famous" scenic area with the high standards of a "national demonstration area".
