The "Regulations for Urban Physical Examination and Evaluation of Land and Space Planning" was officially released——

Chinese cities will have a "physical examination" every year

  Whether the urban waterlogging is serious, the urban traffic is not congested, whether the allocation of primary and secondary school degrees is balanced, whether the medical and elderly facilities are adequate... Starting this year, around the above indicators that are closely related to urban planning and people’s lives, all cities in my country will usher in every year Of regular "physical examinations."

  Recently, the Ministry of Natural Resources issued the "Regulations for Urban Physical Examination and Evaluation of Land and Space Planning" (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations"), which will be implemented on June 18, 2021.

In the opinion of industry experts, this system will become an important tool to promote the high-quality development of cities in our country, improve the effectiveness of the implementation of land and space planning, and make cities better and life more convenient.

What to check: an indicator system reflecting urban ecological production and life

  Humans need regular physical examinations to judge the health of the body.

The same should be true for the health of urban development.

The seventh census showed that the urbanization rate of China's permanent population is close to 64%. Therefore, it is very important to monitor and evaluate the development of cities.

So, from which aspects will the city physical examination be carried out?

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Natural Resources, my country regularly conducts urban physical examinations and assessments to detect shortcomings and risks in urban space quality in time, provide reference for government decision-making, optimize land and space planning arrangements, and adjust government investment priorities. In order to improve the level of urban governance and make our city more suitable for business, livability, enjoyment and travel.

  Therefore, the "Regulations" set specific indicators for urban physical examination and evaluation from the six dimensions of safety, innovation, coordination, greenness, openness, and sharing, covering ecology, production, and life.

Among them, 33 basic indicators, such as per capita annual water consumption, groundwater level, cultivated land retention, total construction land area, urban permanent population density, etc., must be selected for each city's physical examination and evaluation.

There are also 89 recommended indicators that each city can choose to use according to its own development stage and key tasks.

Based on these indicators, cities can be compared horizontally with other cities, or they can be compared vertically with their own past to find gaps and shortcomings.

  The reporter saw that in the indicator system, many items are closely related to the daily lives of ordinary people, and can directly reflect the quality of life and convenience of urban residents, and are intended to solve the problem of “difficult and worrying” around residents through physical examination and evaluation.

For example, the number of beds in medical and health institutions per 1,000 people, the average commuting time on weekdays, the 10-minute walk coverage of community elementary schools, the 10-minute walk coverage of community middle schools, the coverage of 2 kilometers of urban-level hospitals, and the 5-minute walk of community elderly care facilities Coverage rate, number of public rental housing, 15-minute community living circle coverage, vegetable market (fresh supermarket) 10-minute walk coverage, football field facilities 15-minute walk coverage, per capita park green area, etc.

  "The "Regulations" establish physical examination evaluation indicators and standards from two aspects of urban development status and planning implementation dynamics, so as to discover the'focuss' in urban health. Its unique feature lies in tightly grasping the regularity of urban development and planning implementation The dynamic nature of the new era demonstrates the wisdom of land and space planning in the new era." said Wang Wei, director and associate professor of the Department of Urban Management, Central University of Finance and Economics.

How to check: survey data is supplemented by the participation of main residents

  Accurate, simple, and effective urban physical examination and assessment cannot be separated from the convenient acquisition of massive data and technical support, as well as the participation of residents living in it.

  The "Regulations" clarify that the physical examination and evaluation work is organized by the city's people's government, and the city's natural resources department is responsible for the specific implementation in conjunction with the responsibilities of national land and space planning, approval, dynamic maintenance, and implementation supervision.

A combination of self-examination and evaluation and third-party physical examination and evaluation can be adopted.

  "Spatial data is the advantage of the natural resources department." The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Natural Resources said that the third national land survey just concluded has fully grasped the distribution and distribution of cultivated land, garden land, woodland, grassland and other land types in my country from the data level. Utilization situation.

In addition, the natural resources department also has annual survey, surveying and mapping, geographic and national conditions monitoring, remote sensing imagery and other land and space status data and land and space planning data at all levels, as well as daily management data such as land use and sea approval, land right confirmation, and law enforcement inspection.

  Therefore, most of the inspection indicators of the annual urban physical examination assessment can be directly extracted from these data or generated results, without the need for another special investigation.

At the same time, these data collection and calculations can be directly completed on the "One Map" implementation supervision information system of land and space planning. With the powerful computing power and algorithms of computers, statistical analysis can be carried out more conveniently and intelligently.

As a result, not only can work efficiency be improved, but also the objectivity and accuracy of urban physical examination data can be ensured.

  In the past few days, many Changchun citizens have participated in the urban physical examination questionnaire survey through the WeChat applet.

The reporter learned that the release of the "Regulations" provides a new platform for the people to participate in urban governance in an orderly manner.

The Ministry of Natural Resources encourages localities to use Weibo, mini programs and other convenient methods to allow citizens to evaluate the health status of the city and their satisfaction with urban development; and requires cities with the conditions to develop mobile applications such as "Urban Happiness Measuring Instruments", which are efficient Collect citizens' opinions and present them in a dynamic, intuitive and concise manner, and strive to promote the "People's City People's Construction, People's City People's Evaluation".

When to inspect: one year for one-year inspection and five years for one assessment

  The "Regulations" proposed that the characteristics of the urban development stage and the implementation effect of the overall land and space plan will be regularly analyzed and evaluated in accordance with the method of "one-year inspection and five-year evaluation".

  In terms of implementation, the annual physical examination will be carried out every year in conjunction with the city's annual land change survey, and the five-year evaluation will in principle be consistent with the five-year planning cycle for national economic and social development.

The annual urban physical examination and evaluation work will be launched in the first quarter and strive to be completed in the second quarter of that year.

The final physical examination and evaluation report of key cities across the country will also be released to the public in due course to protect citizens' right to know, participate and supervise the implementation of urban planning.

  "A good urban development situation is a multifunctional solution that can systematically deal with many socio-economic challenges. On the contrary, an unbalanced urban development situation will trigger a series of serious socio-economic problems, leading to the so-called'urban disease'. ".

Li Dong, senior research specialist of the China Institute of New Urbanization, Tsinghua University, believes that the initial establishment of a set of regular physical examination and evaluation working mechanisms and evaluation index systems suitable for the actual conditions of Chinese cities, diagnosis and treatment of disease, will be the key to improving the modernization of urban governance. To guarantee, the fields and indicators of physical examination and evaluation should also be gradually improved.

  Since 2018, the Ministry of Natural Resources has conducted pilot medical examinations and evaluations in Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Changchun and other cities, and has formed relevant report results and experience.

The reporter learned that at present, provincial-level natural resources departments such as Beijing, Shanxi, Anhui, Shandong, and Guangdong have issued documents to deploy comprehensive urban physical examination and assessment work in the provinces, and other provinces will also deploy them.

  The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Natural Resources said: “We will increase our efforts to summarize and promote the experience and practices of various regions, listen to the opinions of the masses, and promote the gradual improvement of the urban physical examination and evaluation system throughout the country. A powerful system for improving the quality of life and improving the quality of people’s lives."
