Yesterday, the Dongguan city environmental protection Bureau explained that complaints more mainly because of Dongguan city planning lags, as well as the result of very limited law enforcement powers of the Environmental Protection Department. Has now taken a number of measures to reduce the number of environmental complaints.
Analysis: urban planning lag is the main reason
Yesterday, the Dongguan city environmental protection department about why a surge charge complaints: one is to continuously enhance people's environmental awareness and self-protection. But in terms of actual situation of Dongguan, city planning lag is the main reason. With with Dongguan economic of fast development and urbanization process of constantly advance, past of city planning in environment management Shang considered lacks of lag increasingly highlights out, various function district layout not reasonable, especially part town (Street) Government for development high profit of real estate project and free change planning control, caused industrial zone and neighborhoods, and educational district interwoven in together, factory and houses, and real estate adjacent, then led to pollution complaints problem constantly.
During the process of dealing with environmental issues, due to the construction of some enterprises, its environmental procedures and basic facilities construction perfect (law, policy and planning grant project), which belongs to the legitimate business, but due to some restrictive environmental standards, in fact, part of the production and operation of enterprises and will affect the lives of the people, so that environmental complaints. Rely solely on environmental enforcement and environmental protection departments are really difficult to solve. In this regard, some people do not understand, and breeds dissatisfaction with the Environmental Protection Department, the case caught in a vicious circle, complaints will naturally go up.
