Qingyuan Geographic Environment and Regional Development
Coordinating the comprehensive development of urban and rural areas and pursuing the coordinated development of the region have always been the direction of Qingyuan's endeavor. In order to solve the imbalance of regional development, Qingyuan, under the guidance of the scientific concept of development, has planned the layout of "Three Circles and Four Belts" with an international vision and strategic thinking, and has basically formed a "reasonable layout, strong support, excellent ecology, industrial clusters, and ecologically sound development" by reinforcing the role of the driving force of the industrial economy, accelerating the construction of green agricultural products bases and ecological tourism bases, and synergistically pushing forward the development of modern agriculture and modern service industry. It has basically formed a new pattern of reasonable layout, strong support, excellent ecology, organic integration of industrial clusters and town clusters, and competitive development in the south, center and north. At the same time, Qingyuan has created a new situation of scientific development through the solid promotion and continuous innovation of "planning to the household, responsibility to the person" poverty alleviation and development. Cracking the regional development imbalance "Qingyuan model" is worthy of reference in the mountainous region as the leader of scientific development, the pursuit of coordinated development of the region on the road, Qingyuan's development can be summarized into three levels. The first level is to look at the province, the whole country and even the world, Qingyuan constantly emancipate the mind, improve the idea, open the door, constantly improve the foundation, optimize the environment, attract investment, constantly participate in the domestic and international industrial competition and the division of labor cooperation, the total economic volume continues to grow, the overall strength continues to improve. Data show that from 2004 to 2008, Qingyuan's GDP rose from the province's 16th to 12th, GDP per capita rose from 17th to 10th, industrial added value above designated size rose from 18th to 10th. Monotonous data vividly shows: Qingyuan in the realization of the developed areas to catch up with the amazing explosive force. Compared with the development of developed regions, Qingyuan has further realized coordinated development. The second level is for the Qingyuan district. With the historical leap from "cold pole" to investment hot spot and from agricultural city to industrial city, the development of southern, central and northern regions of Qingyuan has shown differences in development speed due to the differences in geographic location, natural conditions, openness level and so on. In response to this situation, Qingyuan has made the economic layout of "three circles and four belts", and through the construction of Foshan (Qingyuan) Industrial Transfer Demonstration Park, Foshan Chancheng (Qingxin) Industrial Transfer Demonstration Park, Guangdong Overseas Chinese Industrial Park and Guangdong Nationalities Industrial Park, which are located in the "three circles", the city has developed into an industrial park for overseas Chinese. In this way, the south, center and north of the city show the development pattern of competing and advancing together. As far as the various regions of Qingyuan are concerned, coordinated development has also been further realized. The third level is for the rich and some poor people. The imbalance in the development of these two groups exists not only in the cities, but also in the rural areas, not only in the southern region, but even more so in the central and northern regions, which are both regional and decentralized. For this reason, Qingyuan adheres to the policy of "government-led, social participation, self-reliance, development and poverty alleviation", focuses on the planning of helping poor villages and the planning of the construction of a new socialist countryside, combining short-term support with stabilizing poverty eradication, developmental poverty alleviation with relief poverty alleviation, and support for the development of poverty alleviation with the enhancement of the quality of the unswervingly push forward the poverty alleviation and development. "Planning to the household responsibility to the person" work, the city's efforts to fight a war of poverty alleviation and development. At the same time, mobilize the whole society to actively participate in poverty alleviation and development. Strengthening organizational leadership, the implementation of responsibility; good publicity and mobilization, to build a "big poverty alleviation" work pattern; integration of resources, focusing on the realization of poverty eradication; adhere to the classification of guidance, and continue to innovate ways and means of poverty alleviation and development, and strive for practical results. Through poverty alleviation through housing, employment, industrialization, mutual aid funds for poor villages, the "Dayu Cup" competition, peer-to-peer support, migrant poverty alleviation, and the construction of old districts, Qingyuan's poverty alleviation work has continuously formed new initiatives and opened up new horizons, and effectively reduced the number of people living in poverty. In the scientific development, cracking the regional and urban and rural development imbalance, Qingyuan layer by layer, step by step, very worthy of attention and reference. Scientific layout to drive the city's economic progress in order to create a new industrialization of the ecological new city, Qingyuan put forward to create a "strong green economy, Lingnan livable city, South China Leisure Capital" of the overall strategic objectives of scientific development. But how to build a bridge between reality and goal? Qingyuan soberly realized that the current challenges faced by the transformation of the development mode, environmental protection requirements, rising resource costs, competition around the intensification of the lack of human resources, poverty alleviation and other aspects of the task. How to crack this series of problems? In this regard, Qingyuan carried out some dialectical thinking: Chen Jiaji, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, emphasized that, as a late-developed areas, "good" and "fast" is equally important, no "fast" there is no "good", "good", "fast", "fast", "fast", "fast", "fast", "fast", "fast". Without "fast" there is no "good", without "good" there is no "fast", we must break through the "good" and "fast" is not the same as "good" and "fast". "Fast" either/or misunderstanding, truly recognize that scientific development is "good" and "fast" unity. In order to seize the development opportunity, Qingyuan, according to the requirements of the central and provincial party committees, closely linked to the actual development of the local community, after repeated demonstrations, put forward the "three circles and four belts" development ideas, by strengthening the role of the industrial economy to drive the accelerated construction of green agricultural products bases and eco-tourism and leisure bases, and synergistically promote the development of modern agriculture and modern service industry, the basic formation of a reasonable layout, strong support, and the development of modern agriculture and modern service industry. Basically form a new pattern of economic development with reasonable layout, strong support, excellent ecology, and organic integration of industrial clusters and town clusters. The new concept of "three circles and four belts" is proposed under the premise of comprehensively considering the natural conditions and location advantages of each region, which lays down the future economic development pattern of Qingyuan. This is also the Qingyuan Municipal Government to the world's vision, look for coordinates outside of Qingyuan, outside of Qingyuan to seek development, with an international vision and strategic thinking to consider the development, firmly grasp the development trend of economic globalization and regional economic integration, with excellent wisdom to use all aspects of the resources, and further improve the level of open economic development, so as to inject a new impetus for the scientific development of Qingyuan. Xu Pinghua, mayor of Qingyuan City, said, first of all, the southern economic circle, including urban areas, high-tech zones, Qingcheng District, Fogang County, as well as the southern part of Qingxin County, Qingxi Plain. This economic circle is the city's central region, is the city's economic development of the main force, but also the main battlefield, facing the main task is strong and rapid development. The direction of development is to focus on promoting industrial optimization and upgrading, the development of high-end industries, give full play to the role of radiation. Second is the central economic circle, including Yingde, Yangshan and fresh north. This area has a better foundation for development, resources are also relatively rich, the direction of development is to focus on building a good development of the hard and soft environment, to undertake a good gradient transfer of industries in the Pearl River Delta. Again, there is the northern "Sanlian" economic circle, including Lianzhou, Lianshan and Liannan. This area has two minority autonomous counties, is the province's important ecological reserve, but the industrial base is relatively weak. The direction of development is mainly to *** build ethnic industrial parks as a carrier to attract investment, to create high-quality industries, while assuming the function of ecological barriers. "Four belts" is the economic belt along the Beijiang River, Qinglian high-speed economic belt, Beijing-Zhuhai high-speed economic belt, Qingfo highway economic belt. Among them, the Beijiang coastal economic zone, combined with ecological advantages, resource advantages and existing industrial advantages, focusing on creating less pollution, high efficiency, structural characteristics of the eco-industrial development belt; Qinglian high-speed economic zone, the Beijing-Zhuhai high-speed economic zone, the Qingfo Highway economic zone, the standard highway belt economy. Through the "three circles and four belts" new layout of economic development, Qingyuan south of the central and northern part of the development of competing developments, the development pattern, in recent years, the city's counties (cities and districts) have achieved double-digit growth, which is fresh growth rate is located in the province's 67 mountainous counties in the first. Innovative poverty alleviation ideas to open *** with the pace of prosperity through the layout of the "three circles and four belts", within the city to achieve a balanced, overall coordination and promotion. While finding ways to liberate productive forces, increase social wealth through economic development, feed agriculture with industry, and support rural areas with cities, Qingyuan vigorously implements the "targeted therapy" "planning to the household, responsibility to the person" approach to poverty alleviation and development. Poverty alleviation and development methods, more direct and precise allocation of poverty alleviation resources of institutions, enterprises and public institutions, reduce resource consumption, and realize the targeted removal of poverty; at the same time, grasp the key points, adopt measures such as "one policy for one village, one method for one household", carry out the fixed unit, fixed person, fixed point, fixed responsibility to help, focusing on cadres' pairing to help, support for industrial development, education and training arrangements, funds for the reconstruction of dilapidated houses. The focus is on pairing cadres to help each other, supporting industrial development, providing education and training, providing direct subsidies for the reconstruction of dilapidated buildings, and implementing safeguards for households, so as to effectively reduce the number of people living in poverty in accordance with local conditions. Poverty alleviation and development, and the realization of coordinated development of urban and rural areas have always been the top priority of the work of the municipal party committee and the municipal government of Qingyuan. Municipal Party Committee Secretary Chen Jiaji has repeatedly to help farmers to visit the poor, and village cadres and poor households **** plan to develop production, poverty alleviation and income generation. He also funded the village of 5,000 yuan, three poor households for the development of production of 1,000 yuan each, by the village professional cooperatives are responsible for technical guidance, three poor households are expanding the planting of 2 acres of winter melon, each household can increase their income by 6,000 yuan. At the same time, the village to arrange 200,000 yuan of poor village mutual funds for the village poor mutual development of production. Mayor XuPingHua also many times to the village into the household, to give 3 hanging support poor households 1000 yuan each condolence money, financial assistance to poor households ZengGuoPing to buy new rice milling machine head, so that it can go to the village for the villagers to grind rice, and greatly increase the family income, to the remaining two poor families are encouraged to their children to technical school, and for their tuition and living expenses. Secretary and the mayor of the body, has played a great role as a model, through the implementation of poverty alleviation and development "planning to the household, the responsibility to the person" work, the implementation of cadres and poor households paired to help, each helping units and cadres actively for the poor to come up with ideas, selected practical help projects, increase the income of poor households to accelerate the pace of poverty eradication, has achieved great results. The city has achieved great results. By May, the city has implemented 867 support units, cadres to help 31,383 households, the financial input of 24,837,000 yuan (10 million yuan of municipal finances, 14,837,000 yuan of county-level finances). Among them, the municipal units have docked 83, 2991 households, respectively accounted for 73.5%, 58% of the task; county units have docked 722, cadres to help 25,133 households, respectively accounted for 95% of the task, 96%. At the same time, Qingyuan carefully planning, innovative poverty alleviation and development "planning to the household, responsibility to the person" ideas, mechanisms and ways. Five outstanding, five combinations": outstanding production development, focusing on combining with the construction of new rural areas; outstanding quality improvement of the poor labor force, focusing on combining with the provincial party committee's "double transfer" strategy; outstanding industrial poverty alleviation, focusing on combining with the upgrading of the level of agricultural industrialization; outstanding whole village advancement. The level of industrial poverty alleviation, focusing on combining with the enhancement of agricultural industrialization; highlighting the whole village to promote, focusing on combining with the work of counterparts to help; highlighting the consolidation of foundation, focusing on combining with the "ten million" cadres at the grassroots level in the countryside. In order to solve the problem of the lack of starting capital for the development of production of poor households, Qingyuan Municipal Finance annually arranges more than 5 million yuan for the establishment of mutual aid funds for poor households, recycling, rolling development. Mutual fund operation mainly has mutual fund + professional cooperatives + poor households, mutual fund + large households (village cadres) + poor households, mutual fund + full shares, mutual fund + leading enterprises + poor households, mutual fund + leading enterprises + whole village advancement and other five modes. On the basis of 25 pilot villages last year, Qingyuan has selected 20 villages to carry out mutual fund work this year. At the same time boldly explore and innovate, expand the scope of poverty alleviation funds to benefit from the poor households' mutual funds to the farmers' professional cooperative organizations, select 5-8 professional cooperative organizations with the conditions to carry out the pilot project of mutual funds for the poor households, and the professional cooperative organizations to use the mutual funds to drive the poor households to develop their production and increase their incomes to ensure that by 2012, all of the objects of assistance to achieve stable poverty alleviation. Qingyuan's initiative has been recognized by Wang Yang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China and Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of the People's Republic of China, who called for the promotion of the Qingyuan model of poverty alleviation and development of mutual aid funds at a teleconference and television conference on poverty alleviation and development held earlier in the province's "Planning to the Households, Responsibility to the People". Implementation of the "Outline" to narrow the gap with the Pearl River Delta If the planning of the "three circles and four belts" economic layout and the implementation of the "planning to the household, responsibility to the person" poverty alleviation and development, is to promote the urban and rural areas of the Qingyuan region and the coordinated development of the region of the powerful initiatives, then the Qingyuan in the whole of the Guangdong to plan, narrow the gap with the Pearl River Delta region has become the title of the meaning. As a programmatic document for early and pilot implementation in Guangdong Province, the "Outline of the Plan for the Reform and Development of the Pearl River Delta" (hereinafter referred to as the "Outline") has come out of nowhere, and has brought great opportunities for Qingyuan to catch up with the Pearl River Delta. The Outline clarifies the strategic position of the Pearl River Delta as a "pilot area for exploring scientific development model", takes Guangdong as a benchmark for reform, opening up and scientific development, and deploys a new round of reform and development of the Pearl River Delta region with an open vision and a global outlook, with a number of test beds, pilot zones and demonstration zones constructed for the promotion of strategic economic restructuring and transformation of the development of the Pearl River Delta region. The construction of a number of experimental fields, pilot zones and demonstration zones will help promote the strategic adjustment of the economic structure of the PRD region, change the mode of development, and continue to promote scientific development. At the same time, the Outline calls for the PRD to take the lead in setting up a more open economic system, accelerating the integration of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and comprehensively strengthening economic and trade relations with the world's major economies and participating in the international division of labor. Whether it is to take the initiative to accept the radiation drive of the Pearl River Delta, or to take the initiative to participate in the division of labor and cooperation, the implementation of the Outline and docking with the Pearl River Delta is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Qingyuan. As the prefecture-level city closest to the Pearl River Delta, Qingyuan has basically formed a three-dimensional transportation network of water, land and air with Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway and Guangzhou-Qingdao Expressway as the main skeleton, which is an important hub connecting the Pearl River Delta and the inland cities; Guangzhou-Le, Erguang and Foqing-From expressways under planning and construction, and Wuhan-Guangzhou Railway Passenger Dedicated Line, in particular the Pearl River Delta Intercity Railway connecting Qingyuan, which will make the "co-location effect" of Guangzhou and Qingyuan possible. The "same city effect" is fully revealed. With the sustained and rapid economic and social development in Qingyuan, has the economic foundation for integration into the Pearl River Delta economic circle; in addition, Qingyuan is listed as a key development area by the province, will enable Qingyuan to become an important area to undertake the radiation driven by the Pearl River Delta. Qingyuan has made it clear that it should seize the opportunities of the new round of development, define its own position in the division of labor of regional economic integration, take the initiative to dock with the Outline, accelerate the integration into the Pearl River Delta from the aspects of transportation, industry, city, concepts and institutions, realize good and fast development at a higher level, become the backyard of the Pearl River Delta, a supporting base of advanced manufacturing industry in the Pearl River Delta and a place of growth of emerging industries, and become the "a strong city with green economy, a livable city in Lingnan, and a leisure capital in South China". Transportation docking. First of all, speed up the construction of highways and intercity rail, promote the expansion of Guangzhou-Qingdao Expressway, Erguang, Guangle and Foqing from the four expressways Qingyuan section started construction this year, Shantou Zhan, Shankun Expressway, Qingyuan section of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" during the start of construction, and strive for the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan". At the end of the period, the formation of a total mileage of 1,088 kilometers of "five vertical and three horizontal" highway network; strengthen coordination and cooperation to promote the extension of the inter-city rail to Qingyuan this year, shorten the time and space distance with the Pearl River Delta, and promote the co-citizenization with Guangzhou. Secondly, accelerate the construction of waterways and airport express lines and improve the Baiyun Airport Qingyuan terminal service functions. Industrial docking. Give full play to the location advantage of neighboring the Pearl River Delta, combined with the "double transfer" work, relying on the provincial demonstrative industrial transfer park - Foshan (Qingyuan) Industrial Transfer Park and Foshan Chancheng (Qingxin) Industrial Transfer Park, Guangdong Overseas Chinese Economic Industrial Park, Guangdong Nationality Industrial Park and other key parks, through scientific planning of industrial layout, improve the park infrastructure and supporting service facilities and other measures, take the initiative to accept the Pearl River Delta industrial transfer, and further expand the scale of building materials, non-ferrous metals, biopharmaceuticals and other industries, and take the initiative to integrate into the Pearl River Delta modern industrial system division of labor supporting the Pearl River Delta region to become a supporting base for the advanced manufacturing industry. Urban docking. By doing live mountains, water, green, culture, people and other articles, focusing on the protection and development of a good ecological environment, improve the urban function of supporting measures, the construction of Qingyuan to become the backyard of the Pearl River Delta, the Pearl River Delta region to become the first choice for leisure and vacation destinations and to attract residents of Guangzhou and the Pearl River Delta region to settle in Qingyuan.
