Better Gymnasiade, Better Jinjiang

A major event presented itself as an opportunity for a city to promote a new round of high-level development. In Oct 2017, Jinjiang won the bid to host ISF Gymnasiade 2020, becoming the second city in China to hold the international youth sports event after Shanghai. Since then Jinjiang has been preparing for the event.

The Jinjiang municipal government has announced sixteen different action plans, which will be implemented while preparing for international youth sports. In combination with the project of public wellbeing advancement, the city will further upgrade itself to promote the comprehensive improvement of public transport, urban landscape and ecological environment, to display a better image of Jinjiang and to essentially promote the development of the city and make the city more attractive.

Overall improvement of public transport

Cai Zhenxing, from Jinjiang Municipal Construction Company, is the representative of the road construction project at the Shoe and Textile Manufacturing Base of Jinjiang. The construction of Xiefang Avenue is a municipal-level project, which was officially started on August 1, 2018. As front-line personnel of this project, Cai witnessed the change of the Avenue out of nothing.

“The total length of the Avenue is about 2.1 km. After more than one year’s construction, the completion of construction means that the road network around the city’s No.2 Sports Center has been established and improved,” said Cai Zhenxing. He further pointed out that due to the walking distance between the Avenue and the No.2 Sports Center, this road project is also a major part of the transport preparation of Gymnasiade. The comprehensive road network will also further promote the economic development of the new district of Eastern Jinjiang.

A comprehensive road network is as important as the lifeline for a city’s development, which is also a reflection of a city’s image. To ensure a comprehensive road network for the Gymnasiade, Jinjiang Transport Bureau has made a full plan from the aspects of road construction and transport system improvement, including an upgrade of the public transport system (airport, railway station and their surroundings, high-speed road area, etc.), parking facilities, and transport management.

“This year, we’ll focus on speeding up the construction of double-ring road Quanzhou Bay, Eastern Expressway and Jinjiang Jiangnan Expressway, and build a new high-speed rail network connecting Tian’an Bridge, Jinjiang Bridge, and the ring expressway,” said the representative from Jinjiang Transport Bureau. He also introduced that Jinjiang will break the new Longshi Road, Hengjiu connecting line, Dongshi connecting line, and the No.8 Road. At the same time, the city will promote road construction in the south area of Chidian and the area around the city’s Convention and Exhibition Center. The implementation of an integrated transport construction plan including the optimization of the transport system of airport, railway station, and high-speed road area will help to improve the transfer system and then the commuting efficiency so as to promote the city’s comprehensive transport construction and management.

Guarantee environmental quality, upgrade city landscape

“By examination, we found that two pipes used for direct discharge of sewage were broken. Through coordination, they have been rectified and connected to the main pipe network,” said Wu Wenyou in early July. This law enforcement official from Luoshan Squadron of Jinjiang Bureau of Ecology and Environment was finally assured with the settlement of the case. 

A specific campaign has been launched in Jinjiang three months ago to examine and rectify the pollution discharge outlets of the Jiushijiuxi River. Under the leadership of Wu, members like Cai Dapeng and Ding Guide are responsible for the examination of the downstream of Lingpan Bridge in Meixi Village. In the process of tracing the source, the direct discharge of sewage problems was found in Pollution Discharge Outlets No. 42 and No. 48, of Cizao Printing Base and Taichang Village in Cizao Town respectively. Now the problems have been solved through coordination.

“We will propose scientific rectification measures based on the principle of ‘one case, one policy’, and then build a systematic working system to examine and monitor those pollution discharge outlets, tracing sources of relevant problems and proposing further rectification methods. The ultimate goal is to promote the realization of clean water, smooth flow of rivers, green riverbank, and diversified ecology.” Lin Zhixiong, the director of Jinjiang Bureau of Ecology and Environment mentioned.

To improve the ecological environment, Jinjiang will launch a total of 12 programs from three aspects, including constantly propelling the construction of environmental infrastructure, the construction of rural scenery project of the Jiushijiuxi River, and implementing the prevention and control of pollution.

According to Wang Qinglong, director of Jinjiang Bureau of Forestry and Landscaping, in upgrading the city landscape, Jinjiang mainly focuses on the construction of main locations such as hotels, competition venues and scenic spots, and main routes like Jinxin Road, Shuanglong Road, and Jinguang Road, as well as some significant demonstrative aspects of the city. It simultaneously propels the comprehensive remediation of road space, building elevation, greening landscape, and nightscape lighting. 57 projects are either under construction or completed to upgrade the city’s quality, beautify the city landscape, and demonstrate the charm of the city.

“The air quality of Jinjiang has become better and better,” said Mr. Chen, a citizen of Jinjiang. The Gymnasiade is a window for Jinjiang to demonstrate itself to the world, and the environmental quality is undoubtedly a direct way to showcase it.

Emergency system improves the capacity of comprehensive security

“Got it! Head out now!” is most frequently said by the first-aiders in Jinjiang 120 Emergency Center. During the outbreak of COVID-19, the total number of emergency calls and the cases of emergency and accident doubled than usual. Thanks to the first aiders’ excellent quality and the advanced emergency system, patients were all safely transported and received timely and effective treatment, which made a great contribution to the prevention and control of the pandemic outbreak.

Such a major role that the 120 Emergency Center played during the COVID-19 can not be separated from the construction and improvement of its system in these two years. Since the successful bid for the 18th ISF Gymnasiade, Jinjiang municipal government has enhanced its comprehensive security capacity by setting up Gymnasiade Security Command Center as well as organizing service teams of medical care, international liaison, and volunteers.

Ji Ganghong, Director of Jinjiang Health Bureau, said that in the past two years, Jinjiang had accelerated the construction of the medical security system on sports events, and great efforts had been made especially on the construction of 120 emergency systems which had also achieved impressive results.

On March 18, 2019, Jinjiang 120 Emergency Command and Dispatch System was officially launched. It is the most advanced system in Fujian province after the Provincial Emergency Center and Xiamen Emergency Center, which also marks Jinjiang’s medical security on large-scale events entering the intelligent era. Up to now, the Jinjiang emergency network system has been set up, including an emergency command center, 4 emergency sub-centers, and 9 first aid stations, which successfully realized the goal of “building a 15-minute emergency medical circle”.

This year, Jinjiang municipal government plans to install AEDs (defibrillator monitors) in 50 more public places, though 10 such places were set up last year. These places are named “Anxin Sites” with the meaning of “for safe and peaceful hearts”. Besides, in the past two years, various medical and health institutions have been organized to give free first-aid training for those in villages, enterprises, institutions, and other places, which constantly consolidates the good social foundation of “everybody’s trained, for everybody’s aid.”

  牵手“世中运”晋江的“脸”在改变

　　一场重大赛事改变一座城市。牵手“世中运”，是晋江提升城市品质的机遇。

　　晋江市策划实施16个专项行动计划，在做好赛事组织工作的同时，结合“民生补短板、城市提品质”工程，对城市进行系统“精装修”，推动综合交通、城市景观、生态环境等全面提升，更好地展示晋江的面貌，让赛事真正推动城市发展，让整座城市更有魅力。

　　完善交通体系 推进交通建设全面提升

　　蔡振兴是晋江市市政公司鞋纺城配套道路现场代表，鞋纺大道是鞋纺城配套道路项目中的一条市政道路，于2018年8月1日正式开工建设。作为项目建设的一线人员，蔡振兴见证了鞋纺大道从无到有，从“四处滩涂”变成“四通八达”的变化。

　　“鞋纺大道全长约2.1公里。经过一年多的建设，鞋纺大道的竣工，意味着二体周边路网已打通、完善。”蔡振兴说，鞋纺城配套道路紧邻晋江市第二体育中心，是世界中学生运动会的重要配套道路建设项目之一，路网的完善也将进一步推动晋东新区经济发展。

　　交通是城市的重要命脉，与城市形象息息相关。为保障世中运综合交通，晋江市交通运输局从道路建设和提升、公共交通保障、停车设施提升、机场及周边提升、动车站及周边提升、高速出入口提升、世中运道路交通需求管理及保障措施研究等方面做了通盘考虑。

　　“今年，我们重点加快二重环湾、东部快速路、晋江南高速连接线建设，构建高铁新区连接田安大桥、晋江大桥、环城高速快速通道网络。”晋江市交通运输局有关负责人介绍，晋江还进一步打通龙狮公路、横九线、东石连接线、市域8号路。同时，推进池店南片区、会展中心区域等配套道路建设，打通3条断头路，完善区间路网；优化机场、动车站、高速出入口等重要枢纽交通环境，完善接驳换乘系统，提高通行效率，通过实施综合交通项目，推进晋江交通建设与管理全面提升。

　　保障环境质量 提升城市景观风貌

　　“经过协调，我们排查发现的两处污水直排的断头管道已经整改完成，并接入主管网。”7月初，晋江生态环境局罗山中队执法人员吴文佑心中的大石总算落地。

　　今年6月，晋江启动专项行动，对九十九溪入河排污口进行排查整治。吴文佑带领小组成员蔡达鹏、丁桂德负责梅溪岭畔桥下游段的排查工作，在溯源的过程中，发现磁灶印刷基地42号入河排污口、磁灶太昌村48号入河排污口存在污水直排情况。经过协调，目前已完成了整改。

　　“我们将按照‘一口一策’的原则提出科学整治措施，最终建立入河排污口排查、监测、溯源、整治等工作体系，推动实现流域‘水清、河畅、岸绿、生态’。”晋江生态环境局局长林志雄表示。

　　在生态环境提升上，晋江今年持续推进环保基础设施建设、九十九溪流域田园风光项目、落实污染防治攻坚战等三大方面的12个项目。

　　晋江市林业和园林绿化局局长王清龙表示，在提升城市景观风貌上，晋江围绕酒店、场馆、景区等重要节点，晋新路、双龙路、晋光路等重要路线，以及重要城市展示面，同步推进道路空间、建筑立面、绿化景观、夜景照明综合整治，建设 57个城市品质提升项目，扮靓城市颜值，彰显城市气质。

　　“晋江的空气质量越来越好了。”市民陈先生说，世中运是晋江向世界展示自己的一个窗口，而城市的环境质量无疑是最直接的感受之一。 

　　搭建急救体系 提升综合保障能力

　　“收到！马上出发！”这句话是晋江市120院前急救人员说得最多的话。新冠肺炎疫情期间，急救总电话数、总事件数较往常均翻了一番，但急救人员以过硬的素质、先进的体系，用一趟趟安全、稳妥的转运，让每个患者都能接受及时有效的治疗，为打赢疫情防控阻击战做出重大贡献。

　　能在疫情防控中担当起主力军作用，离不开近两年晋江市120急救体系的加快建设和完善。自成功申办世中运后，晋江成立世中运安保指挥中心，建强医疗卫生、外事外联、志愿者等服务团队，落实各项专项保障，全面提升综合保障能力。

　　晋江市卫健局局长纪刚宏表示，这两年，晋江加快赛事医疗保障体系建设，特别是在120急救体系建设上下了大力气，也取得了很大的成效。

　　2019年3月18日，晋江120急救指挥调度系统正式启用，这是继省急救中心、厦门市急救中心后，我省最先进的一套系统。这也标志着晋江大型活动（赛事）医疗保障进入智能化时代。目前，晋江已形成1个急救指挥中心、4个急救分中心、9个急救站的急救网络体系，成功实现“打造15分钟急救医疗圈”的目标。

　　今年，晋江在去年建设10个安心场所的基础上，还计划投建50个安心场所，为50个公共场所购置AED（除颤监护仪）。同时，近两年，晋江还组织各医疗卫生机构深入村居、企业、机关等地，开展急救知识公益培训，不断夯实“人人学急救、人人懂急救”的良好社会基础。
