Not long ago, the National Development and Reform Commission officially issued the list of Reform measures and experiences and practices in the National Ecological Civilization Experimental area. A total of five reform measures and experiences and practices were included in Longyan City, Fujian Province, including the "Longyan Zijin Mountain Model" for mine ecological restoration and management ". The reporter recently made a special trip to Zijinshan Park, a typical example promoted by the National Development and Reform Commission throughout the country, for an interview.

Governance and construction at the same time to achieve the transformation of waste into treasure

Today's Purple Mountain Park, with fragrant grass and blue lakes, attracts many citizens to come for leisure and play every day. It is hard to imagine that this was once a devastated abandoned mine left after long-term coal mining.

In 2010, Longyan City and Xinluo District decided that the abandoned mining area of Zijinshan should be managed by enterprises under the leadership of the government, and turn waste into treasure through both governance and construction. The specific form is: the government formulates the construction land transfer plan according to the general land use regulations, and the project owner undertakes the comprehensive development of the abandoned mining area land, that is, on the basis of ecological restoration and geological disaster management, realize the first-level development of land, form the usable construction land, and transfer it on an open, fair and just market platform, so as to fill the local finance and feed back the ecological restoration and management of the abandoned mining area.

In 2012, the project plot in the north of Zijinshan Park first started comprehensive management and development. At that time, there were 2842 mu of coal mined-out subsidence area in the north.

Since the start of the project, more than 18 million cubic meters of loose mountains have been cleared, and the ecological circulation system and beautiful landscape have been rebuilt on the damaged mountains, effectively preventing and reducing pollution, and improving the production and living environment of the mining area and surrounding people.

In 2014, the first state-owned construction land use right in the project area was publicly sold. The land type is residential land, covering an area of 101 mu, and the total transaction price exceeds 0.22 billion yuan. This marks the successful implementation of the measures of both governance and construction. The city and district levels have carried out comprehensive planning for the abandoned mines in Zijinshan, creatively developed and utilized mine land resources, and achieved the coordinated development of economic, social and environmental benefits. It has made a useful exploration for the city to carry out ecological restoration and management, save and intensive land use, and has also become a new green business card of Longyan.

Promote Green Development by the Hand of the Market

Mine ecological restoration and management is a difficult problem that many resource-based cities will face, and it is a short board in the construction of ecological civilization in such cities. According to remote sensing monitoring by the Ministry of Natural Resources, by the end of 2018, the country's land area damaged by mining had reached more than 5400 million mu. Among them, the historical mines alone occupy more than 3400 million mu of damaged land.

More than 200 years ago, Adam Smith put forward the prototype of the theory of "invisible hand" in The Wealth of Nations. Today, this concept has long been widely circulated and verified.

Under the guidance of Xi Jinping's thought of ecological civilization, Longyan City has found a combination of the role of the government and the market, using the "hand of the market" to restore and manage abandoned mines, save and intensively use land, create ecological human settlements projects, and promote green development. the idea of restoring and managing the ecological environment of mines is becoming more and more open, and the prospect is getting better and better.

The reporter combed the way of "government led, market operation, unified planning and step-by-step implementation" of Zijinshan, that is, to give full play to the leverage role of the government, promote the appreciation of land through urban planning and implementation of relevant transportation and municipal projects, and then openly sell land plots to attract investment for ecological restoration and project development. In line with the principle of building if it is appropriate to build and green if it is appropriate to build, the enterprise carries out land disaster management, distinguishes the situation of different geological areas, and adopts measures such as reinjection mortar treatment, or concrete and piling, to form construction land and green land that can be used safely.

The "hand of the market" has exerted unimaginable power. In addition to solving the financial problems of mine restoration and management, the development of the Zijinshan Park project has generated considerable investment, profits and taxes, etc., promoted the expansion of urban space, and realized ecological and economic benefits. The organic unity of benefits and social benefits.

The "hand of the market" also forces enterprises to study market demand, strengthen innovation, win the trust of the public with scientific and professional restoration and governance, and attract popularity and increase selling points with a large number of livelihood projects. As a result, the company has introduced professional teams to comprehensively explore mining areas and participate in restoration and governance; develop new cities based on the concept of green ecology and healthy sports to meet the needs of modern human settlements; support the construction of children's playgrounds, national fitness centers, multi-functional training bases, bicycle tracks and other livelihood projects, and open to the general public; strengthen supporting facilities in basic education, research, home care, leisure and health.

Create a modern and happy community with temperature

Suddenly like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees pear blossom. Today, desolation has long disappeared, and a modern and happy community with beauty and livability and harmony between man and nature is "blooming" in Zijin Mountain ". Longyan Zijinshan Park, the province's first market-oriented mining area ecological restoration project, has become a part of Longyan citizens' life circle after more than 6 years of governance and development.

Governance, construction and development are all aimed at improving people's livelihood and making people's lives better. Into the Purple Mountain Park, I saw the sky blue, green, clear water, elegant, and people. On the grass in the sun, the children smile brightly and run wantonly; in the fragrant and romantic sea of flowers, young people are full of vigor and joy.

Under the guidance of Longyan's goal of "building an ecological modern city in southwest Fujian and creating a happy Longyan with temperature", Zijinshan Park is planned and constructed with the concept of city level, with complete sports venues and facilities and beautiful landscape. At the same time, actively echoing the work of speeding up the high-quality and balanced development of education in the central urban area in Xinluo District, a total of 7 kindergartens, 3 primary schools, 1 junior high school, 1 Senior high school school and 1 teacher training school have been planned in the north and south. A total of 17722 students can be accommodated from kindergarten to Senior high school planning degree. At present, two kindergartens, one primary school and one junior high school have been built in the north. The new campus in the south of Zijinshan junior high school and the third kindergarten of Zijinshan are under construction and are expected to be put into use next year.

Modern happy community is not only reflected in the hardware facilities, community culture is also an important aspect. Zijinshan Community insists on leading community governance with Party building and creating a brand of "Community Building and Ideal City" community activities. It has successively set up Zixia Tide Club, Zixia Basketball Club, Zixia Art Troupe, Zixia Reading Club, Zixia Football Club, Zixia Running Club and other organizations to jointly carry out activities and harmonize neighborhood relations. The implementation of the "go home to do things, convenient and fast" appointment delay mechanism, the service from "work leave, special work" to "go home from work, on the way to do things" convenience direction.

In February 2019, the Xinluo District Government signed a contract with the project owner to continue good experience and good practices to promote the governance and construction of the southern Zijinshan project.

With regard to the "Longyan Zijinshan Model", the National Development and Reform Commission mentioned in its document that Longyan City has vigorously carried out comprehensive mine renovation, carried out a dragnet inventory and renovation of Zijinshan mining area, shut down all coal mines and polluting enterprises in the area, and implemented greening, beautification, fragrant flowers and purification projects to restore the original ecology of the mining area to the maximum extent. Adopt government-led, market operation, unified planning, and step-by-step implementation to promote key projects such as sports and leisure theme parks, sports complexes, national fitness centers, and resort hotels, and build urban sports-themed residential parks.

It is understood that the Zijinshan Southern Project will focus on creating four major supporting facilities for education, medical care, cultural tourism, and commerce on the basis of the 3A scenic spot in the northern country, and build Zijinshan into a comprehensive theme park and human settlement with the largest scale and the most complete facilities in Longyan. The plate will help build an ecological modern city in southwest Fujian, create a happy Longyan with temperature, and provide more replicable and popularized reform experience for the construction of the national ecological civilization experimental area.
