First, adhere to the concept of eco-town construction and realize "three synchronizations" development.
Since the Eleventh Five-Year Plan, especially in recent years, Yaxi Town has firmly established the concept of "development is the last word, people's livelihood is fundamental and ecology is fundamental", vigorously implemented the development strategy of giving priority to the environment and enriching the people with characteristics, and has become an "international slow city", a national ecological town, a provincial-level characteristic pilot town and a municipal-level key new city, showing a development trend of accelerated economic development, superior ecological environment, efficient low-carbon production and harmonious and healthy life.
-industrial development and ecological construction have improved simultaneously. Compared with developed areas, Yaxi Town has unique advantages in natural resources in ecological construction, although its location and transportation are not dominant, and its industrial base is relatively weak. In this regard, the town insists on not sacrificing the environment for temporary development, resolutely abandons the old road of "pollution first and then treatment", actively explores a new road of "promoting development with the environment", and resolves industrial disadvantages by amplifying ecological advantages, so that industry and ecology change from "contradiction" to "benign interaction". Focus on developing eco-leisure tourism, efficient modern agriculture and low-carbon circular economy, and build a modern industrial system with local characteristics. Actively learn from the development experience of foreign slow city movement, take the lead in starting the construction of ecological slow city in China, invest huge sums of money to build a hundred-mile eco-tour covering 48 kilometers and 50 square kilometers, and successfully hold the "Golden Flower Tourism Festival" for three consecutive years, making eco-tour a comprehensive holiday base and a national agricultural tourism demonstration site famous in Nanjing and even the whole province.
-economic growth and enriching the people and benefiting the people are advancing simultaneously. Giving priority to enriching the people in economic growth and embodying the purpose of benefiting the people in accelerating development are the important development principles that Yaxi Town has always adhered to. In recent years, the town has correctly handled the relationship between economic development and people's livelihood construction. While promoting the main economic indicators to maintain an average annual growth rate of more than 20%, we will continue to strengthen social construction focusing on enriching the people and benefiting the people, so that the people can truly enjoy the fruits of economic development and realize the simultaneous advancement of strengthening the town and the village and improving people's livelihood. By developing industries, supporting entrepreneurship, promoting employment and organizing cooperation, we will strive to build a diversified and long-term income growth mechanism. The town creates more than 2,800 new jobs every year and transfers more than 3,200 rural laborers. The per capita net income of farmers has maintained a double-digit growth, and more than 92% of families have reached a comprehensive well-off income level. The town has been rated as a provincial health town, a strong sports town, a full employment town in Nanjing, an advanced town of rural endowment insurance and an advanced collective of rural practical projects.
-Urban agriculture and beautiful countryside develop simultaneously. Yaxi Town insists on closely combining the development of urban agriculture with the construction of beautiful countryside, closely combining with the development of ecological journey, and closely combining with the cultivation of leisure tourism, fully demonstrating the global ecological characteristics of town gardens, suburban forests, road trees and rural forests. On the one hand, they vigorously develop urban agriculture, with scale, brand and intensification as the direction, and expand the production, ecology and life functions of agriculture. The proportion of efficient facility agriculture in the town reached 57%. On the other hand, we will speed up the construction of beautiful countryside, invest 20 million yuan every year for the comprehensive improvement of village environment, and vigorously implement the "Six Upgrading" project focusing on infrastructure, greening and beautification, and water body improvement. Comprehensively promote the "six clean-ups and six constructions" project focusing on cleaning up garbage, cleaning up straws and cleaning up ponds. In rural areas, sewage treatment networks, garbage treatment networks, green tree-lined networks and sanitation networks that are integrated with towns and villages have been formed. All villages have reached the "five noes" standards such as no garbage and no gutter. /kloc-more than 0/00% of the villages have achieved the goal of "five noes" such as having sanitation facilities and professional sanitation teams. All villages have formed the characteristics of "five noes" such as ground green, road green, shore green, village green and courtyard green, and created 1 national ecological village.
Second, do enough articles on ecological resources and strive to promote the green rise.
A good ecological environment is the most distinctive development feature of Yaxi Town, and it is also the most valuable superior resource. Yaxi people insist on ecological protection and development as the starting point, fully tap the potential of ecological development, and vividly interpret the profound connotation of scientific development with their own unique practice.
(A) the implementation of ecological town strategy, carefully shape the ecological journey. If the ecology of Yaxi was "protected" because of traffic and location in the past, since the establishment of the strategy of "building a town by ecology", Yaxi has actively chosen the road of coordinated development of economy, society and ecological civilization. Since 2006, they have invested a total of 320 million yuan to plan, develop and build eco-tours with high specifications. First, according to the idea of "ecological orientation and overall consideration", from the aspects of project planning, product system, service facilities, basic engineering and ecological protection, detailed rules for tourism facilities, sightseeing agriculture, road traffic and constructive detailed rules for greening along the line, water system landscape and village layout have been compiled and formed, and a relatively perfect ecological slow city construction planning system has been constructed.
Second, according to the idea of "global development and group layout", four major functional areas, namely, international slow city theme park exhibition, beautiful countryside eco-sightseeing holiday, colorful bridge plum agricultural entertainment experience and Jingshan bamboo sea cultural leisure and health preservation, have been carefully laid out, so that eco-tourism can fully display the beautiful features of hilly natural scenery, facility agricultural landscape and rural scenery. Third, according to the idea of "connecting dots into a line and connecting beads into a chain", the surrounding village environment will be transformed with characteristics, the natural scenic spots along the line will be upgraded ecologically, the regional sightseeing facilities will be finely matched, the layout of villages such as Yaodang, Lanxi and Li Qiao will be optimized, a new project of "Huizhou village residence" in Dashan will be built, and a number of ecological highlights such as Hongfeng base, tea culture garden and orchard picking, as well as Wangyu Island and Haifeng Building will be built.
(2) Give full play to the advantages of ecological resources and vigorously develop advantageous industries. Yaxi town firmly grasps the influence of international slow city, pays attention to the integration of resource packaging, and forms the industrial characteristics of green, ecological and enriching people. Guided by urban modern agriculture, we will strengthen the comprehensive development of agriculture, build ten thousand mu of tea gardens, ten thousand mu of bamboo gardens, ten thousand mu of orchards, ten thousand mu of flowers and seedlings, ten thousand mu of organic food and other characteristic production bases, and form a characteristic industry of "one product in one village and one product in several villages". At present, the scale of high-efficiency facility agriculture in the town is 63,000 mu, and the collective economic income exceeds 1 10,000 yuan/village with high-efficiency agricultural characteristics, and high-efficiency facility agriculture accounts for 56% of the village collective economic income. Based on regional characteristics, we will focus on developing rural tourism and business services. Elaborately create a number of fine tourist routes such as Jinhua Sea Tour, Farming Experience Tour, Outdoor Sports Tour, Bamboo Sea Exploration Tour and Low-carbon Health Tour, and successively create a number of characteristic rural tourist attractions such as Li Qiao Tea Culture and Yaodang Vineyard, which has driven the explosive growth of the town's tourism revenue. In 2008, it received 45,000 tourists and earned 3.88 million yuan. In 2065, it was 438+00, which soared to 320,000 tourists and 28 million yuan respectively. Insist on pollution control with an iron fist, shut down more than one quarry, sand yard and plastic factory 10 successively, and urge relevant enterprises to complete the upgrading of sewage disposal equipment. As an important border trade town, Yaxi Town, based on its own resource characteristics and location characteristics, has built a trade city of building materials and characteristic agricultural products, and combined it with tourism and catering industries to realize the synchronous development of trade and real estate, tourism, catering and other related services.
(3) Plan feasible ecological measures to enrich the people, and actively broaden the channels of income increase. The concept of "no pains, no gains" is deeply rooted in many people's hearts. Good ecology and beautiful environment once became synonymous with poverty and backwardness. However, the people of Yaxi have found another way and played a beautiful "combination boxing" of ecological wealth. First, vigorously cultivate the brand of ecological agricultural products. It has successively obtained 12 pollution-free production certification bases and 6 organic certified agricultural products. After Asaph Xu rice, Xufeng tea, Ziyuan grape and other agricultural products obtained organic status, the market price rose by a minimum of 2 times and a maximum of 10 times, and the wages of local tea pickers also rose to 320 yuan per catty of fresh leaves. Efficient agriculture absorbs rural labor force 10800 people all the year round, contributing 30% to farmers' income. The second is to actively support the development of "farmhouse music" in the ecological journey. The first batch of 6 farmhouse restaurants in Dashan Natural Village opened. On the first day of the small holiday in Tomb-Sweeping Day this year, 1800 private cars poured in, and every family's business was booming, with a turnover of over 60,000 yuan that day. The villagers sent out such feelings: I didn't expect so many tourists, and I didn't expect business to be so good. Third, actively develop eco-efficient algae culture. "Gaochun crab, grass in the stream". This is a slogan printed on a billboard in expressway. With the development of crab industry in Gaochun county, the demand for grass saving has increased greatly. Yaxi town began to use polder to promote planting grass and save money. After several years of development, the current area has reached more than 8,000 mu, and the average net benefit per mu can reach more than 5,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the average benefit per mu of crab farming, and it has become another industry with obvious effects of enriching the people.
(D) Building ecologically livable towns and creating beautiful countryside in the south of the Yangtze River. Yaxi town takes the construction of towns and villages as the starting point, improves the urban infrastructure from both hardware and software, develops social public utilities, and becomes the most livable and beautiful model of new countryside. The first is to scientifically divide functional areas. According to the topographical characteristics of high in northwest and low in southeast, they put forward three leading functional areas, namely, the hilly area in northwest mainly develops ecological industries, the market town area in the middle and large agriculture, and the industrial and trade economy in the southeast. This functional planning gives full play to the suitability between land characteristics and functional requirements, and becomes the basic planning of Yaxi town construction planning and land use planning. The second is to improve the basic supporting facilities. In recent years, they have actively cooperated with the construction of domestic trunk highways such as Provincial Highway 239, Provincial Highway 246 and Laoya Road, and raised funds to build more than 70 kilometers of rural roads. Complete the embankment reinforcement project of Chundong Passage and the construction of supporting facilities, improve the reach of Xu He Project, and improve the flood control and drought resistance of the whole town. The task of "Green Nanjing" construction project is 6.5438+0.5 million mu, and the forest coverage rate of the whole town reaches 30.2%. Two major problems that plague the rural environment, garbage collection and domestic sewage treatment, have been solved, and the garbage treatment system of group collection, village concentration, town transfer and county treatment has been improved. Ecological sewage treatment facilities have been built in each village, realizing sewage entering the factory and rainwater entering the pond. Most people praise that they have invested10.50 billion yuan to complete the regional network water supply reconstruction project. By the end of June this year, all the people in the town will drink sanitary and clean tap water. The third is to develop rural social undertakings. We will build a town cultural building and a town generation service center with high standards, and build a number of village-level clinics, farmer's bookstores and cultural activity rooms. The participation rate of the new rural cooperative medical system reached 100%, and the participation rate of the new rural cooperative medical system was close to 100%, and the rural minimum living security and five guarantees were guaranteed.
Third, learn and popularize the experience of Yaxi to promote the development of rural science.
Yaxi Town has always adhered to the people-oriented principle, vigorously promoted ecological sustainable development, and made great efforts to build green villages, affluent villages, affluent villages, happy villages and vibrant villages, setting a banner for scientific development in the vast rural areas of our city.
(1) The practice of Yaxi shows that there is no contradiction between ecological protection and economic development. Today's green mountains and green hills are tomorrow's Jinshan Yinshan. Only by taking ecological priority as the basic strategy can we promote sustainable development and build a green new countryside. The ecological tour of Yaxi Town has become the first international slow city in China, turning the barren hills into green treasures and showing people a unique way of ecological development. Nowadays, the concept of protecting rural ecological characteristics and putting an end to blind development has penetrated into the hearts of people in western Shandong. This coincides with the important condition of the "Eight Conventions" of the international slow city "to protect and maintain a pure natural environment". In the past, in order to pursue the rapid growth of local economy, Yaxi Town has also gone through the old road of traditional development. However, under the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development, Yaxi people adjusted their development ideas in time and resolutely shut down polluting enterprises. Resolutely abandon the "parabolic" development path of quick success in the short term and paying off debts at the expense of environmental pollution in the long term, and embark on the "accelerated linear" development path with slow speed in the early stage and steady improvement in the later stage on the premise of protecting the ecology, and get out of the strange circle of "economic development-ecological destruction-environmental governance-economic retrogression". Although the reason for this choice is simple and clear, it is in the context of emphasizing the use of data indicators to judge political achievements. Facing the pressure of the rapid development of Brother Town Street, we need enough determination to keep the bottom line of ecological development. It takes extraordinary courage to accumulate the greatest financial resources and adhere to the route of ecological construction; It takes great perseverance to persevere and create green development products. This is the magic weapon for Yaxi people to build the first "international slow city" in China and the only one in China.
(2) The practice of Yaxi shows that planning is a blueprint for scientific development. Without scientific planning, there will be no scientific development. Only by taking planning as the key to development can we promote all-round development and build a prosperous new countryside. Yaxi Town can achieve comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development, thanks to its long-term development path, which is based on high-grade and high-quality scientific planning. The green hills and green waters of Yaxi Town are ups and downs, which has a unique charm. In order to protect the original natural features and landscape features and give full play to the advantages of the plate, when formulating the overall development plan, they highlighted the fragmentation of functions, ensured the coordination between man and nature, economy and landforms, and the rural villages were scattered and the mountains, rivers, fields and forests were integrated. The development plan of the new round of eco-tourism in Yaxi is to seize the development opportunity brought by the "international slow city" and develop the area of about 50 square kilometers in the hilly and mountainous areas of northwest Yaxi into an eco-tourism demonstration area and a characteristic economic industrial belt. Town and village construction planning should be guided by classification, seize the development opportunity of key new towns, expand the framework and functional zoning of Yaxi town, transform the facade along the street by stages and improve the infrastructure, speed up the construction of farmers' concentrated residential areas and professional markets, introduce advanced business forms, and develop Yaxi town into a border trade town with perfect functions, beautiful environment, commercial prosperity and livable ecology. Especially in the transformation of villages, we do not engage in large-scale demolition and construction. It not only pays attention to maintaining the original village style and Huizhou ancient architecture style, but also promotes the modernization of safe water supply, sewage treatment and garbage disposal, and has embarked on an unusual road of new rural construction.
(3) The practice of Yaxi shows that the advantages and disadvantages of a region's development are relative, and the past disadvantages can be transformed into the present advantages according to local conditions. Only by taking regional characteristic industries as the breakthrough direction can we promote characteristic development and build a rich new countryside. Short in size and long in size. To achieve a breakthrough in the development of township economy, we must recognize the advantages and disadvantages of our own development, adhere to the road suitable for local resource endowment, adjust measures to local conditions, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and make every effort to cultivate projects with industrial advantages, resource advantages and demand advantages. There is no doubt that the biggest disadvantage of Yaxi Town for a long time is its remote location and blocked traffic, and its biggest advantage is the original ecological green water and green mountains. How to transform advantages into productivity and competitiveness is an urgent and important task for Asian people. They raised the development of characteristic economy to a strategic and overall height, optimized the allocation of productive factors on a broader stage, and creatively regrouped human, financial, material, information and resources through continuous excavation, reference, innovation and fission, thus breaking a new path with more characteristics, making the comparative advantage of Yaxi Town's development manifest and its market competitiveness significantly enhanced. 10 years ago, Li Qiao village was unknown. It was a small mountain village with a collective annual fixed income of only 8,000 yuan, which was regarded as a "backcountry" by others. In recent years, the disadvantages in the village have become advantages. Relying on the ecological tour, the village vigorously develops organic agricultural products and organic tea. The price of tea rose from 500-600 yuan per catty in the past to more than 5,000 yuan now, and the collective income of the village kept rising. Last year, the disposable income reached 5.7 million yuan, and the comprehensive strength of the village jumped to the 23rd place among the top 100 villages in the city. There are many such examples. Li Qiao Village is only a microcosm of the success of the characteristic economic strategy.
(4) Yaxi's practice shows that happiness is hidden in the hearts of ordinary people, and happy or unhappy people have the most say. Only by taking people's livelihood happiness as the core goal can we promote harmonious development and build a happy new countryside. The core of Scientific Outlook on Development is people-oriented. Whether the development direction and road are correct or not, the primary criterion is whether it can meet the interests of the people. As an underdeveloped town, people in Yaxi, especially village cadres, are particularly eager to realize the leap-forward economic growth in a short period of time and get rid of the hat of being a revitalized town as soon as possible. However, Yaxi people have a steelyard in their hearts, putting economic development and ecological protection at both ends and favoring ecological protection; Putting economic benefits and improving people's livelihood at both ends is more inclined to improve people's livelihood; Putting short-term explosive growth and long-term sustainable development at both ends is more inclined to sustainable development. In the process of development, we should not blindly seek quick progress or unilaterally pursue GDP. Instead, we take enriching the people and benefiting the people as the starting point and the end result of our work, and strive to improve people's happiness. Although the financial resources at the township level are limited, the Party Committee and government of Yaxi Town never hesitate to invest tens of millions of yuan to do practical things for the people. People in Yaxi feel that in recent years, the roads are clear, the water is clear, the environment is beautiful and the cultural life is rich. In particular, the whole town people drank safe tap water, and some villages implemented rain and sewage diversion and installed complete water supply and drainage facilities, which was unimaginable in the past. Although the per capita net income index data of farmers in the town is not very high, the happiness of Yaxi people is not only written on their faces, but also buried in their hearts. "I enjoy the well-off life now", a simple but emotional sentence by a villager, vividly shows the harmony and well-being of Yaxi people.
(5) The practice of Yaxi shows that strengthening the construction of leading bodies is the fundamental guarantee to promote the scientific development of villages and towns, and innovating the party building work at the grass-roots level in rural areas is an inevitable requirement for strengthening and consolidating the foundation. Only by taking reform and innovation as unremitting pursuit can we promote endogenous development and build a dynamic new countryside. The Party Committee and government of Yaxi Town have carried forward the simple and pragmatic traditional folk customs in their work, and formed a work style of seeking truth and being pragmatic and starting a business. Pay attention to practical results in the work, constantly innovate the service mechanism, improve service efficiency, keep quiet, and not seek false reputation. In selecting and employing people, we should adhere to the "four-fold" orientation with emphasis on hard work, performance, conduct and recognition. Town leaders attach great importance to the interests of the masses, and town cadres spend at least half a month going deep into grassroots, enterprises and farmers to help resolve contradictions and solve difficulties. Adhere to the democratic management system, institutionalize the permanent system of party congresses, and invite party representatives to participate in democratic recommendation and evaluation in the process of selecting and appointing cadres. We will make every effort to strengthen village-level capacity-building, take the promotion of a new round of "strong foundation projects" as the starting point, broaden the channels for direct election of rural cadres by public, and ensure that talents go to the grassroots level and cadres are selected from the grassroots level. At present, there are three village party secretaries in the town who are also real town-level cadres. Some village cadres who have made outstanding achievements in the "Strong Foundation Project" are included in the establishment of township-owned institutions and enjoy economic treatment with reference to the personnel standards of township institutions. Choose a leader to drive a wealthy village. In 2008, the disposable income of all administrative villages in Yaxi Town exceeded 500,000 yuan, and the goal of eliminating the village collective economic income of 500,000 yuan was achieved four years ahead of schedule. It is with a series of institutional innovations and scientific management that there are beautiful streams with green mountains and green waters and harmonious humanities, and there are happy streams with economic prosperity, ecological civilization, exquisite culture, harmony and well-being.
