"Every time there is a banquet for thousands of families, the whole community is like a big family, more lively than during the Chinese New Year." Wu Caixia, a resident of Changcheng Garden Community in Jinfeng District, Yinchuan City, described community life this way.
In Yinchuan, there are banquets for hundreds of families and thousands of families, allowing people of all ethnic groups to sit around the table and share friendship. The joy and laughter in the community also reflect the changes brought about by the construction of a complete community.
The construction of a complete community takes the walking distance of residents as the basic unit, coordinates and improves supporting facilities, public spaces and convenient services, and improves community governance mechanisms to better meet the daily needs of residents.
In recent years, Yinchuan has relied on urban renewal to promote the construction of complete communities, combining improving the living environment and improving public services with promoting ethnic unity, and promoting people of all ethnic groups to move from spatial cohabitation to emotional integration.
Old communities "renovated" to create new lives
Yinchuan has established a four-level linkage system of "municipal overall planning, county and district responsibility, street implementation, and community specific implementation", established multi-department collaborative special teams, and introduced municipal construction standards.
Focusing on the shortcomings of community facilities and services, Yinchuan has established a "6+21" core indicator system, supporting 15 unique physical examination indicators, forming a "64+15" urban physical examination system. Through a comprehensive survey of the community's base, a "one community, one policy" transformation plan was formulated.
In response to the problem of construction funds, Yinchuan explored diversified financing models, broadened funding channels, and promoted the implementation of transformation through project scheduling, supervision and evaluation, and public review.
At present, Yinchuan has built 22 complete communities at the autonomous region level, and Jinfeng District Minsheng Garden, Tongfu Homeland and Lingwu City Zhenheta Community have been selected as national pilot projects.
Small grids gather co-governance
Yinchuan has extended the party organization system to communities and buildings, improved the five-level party organization system of streets, communities, communities, buildings, and central party member households, and promoted the integration of party organization coverage and governance grid.
At the same time, various localities are cultivating "red properties" and "red industry committees" and promoting cross-service and four-party consultation. Relying on the red meeting hall, residents’ demands are collected and neighborhood conflicts are discussed together.
Government agencies, enterprises, merchants, and social organizations have revitalized their positional resources. Relying on the "iYinchuan" APP, the community has established three lists of resources, needs, and projects to meet the needs of elderly care, childcare, medical and other services. The "Pomegranate Seed" lecture hall, ethnic unity discussion corner, neighborhood shared space and other places provide convenience for residents to study, discuss and communicate.
Residents have also become an important force in community building. In the Xixia District Sharing Community, Wang Juru has participated in the "Mate and Mutual Assistance" program for eleven consecutive years, pairing up with many college students who came to Ningbo to study. "I have always felt that all ethnic groups are one family, and we should care for and help each other." Wang Juru said.
With the participation of more residents, the "Twinship and Mutual Assistance" program has expanded from one family to 182 families and 209 students, covering 28 provincial-level administrative regions.
Daily interaction enhances neighborliness
In the renovation of old residential areas and micro-renewal of communities, Yinchuan coordinated the construction of shared courtyards, theme squares, "Pomegranate Seed" cultural corridors, Tongxin Bookstores, and supporting facilities such as "Red Pomegranate" child care centers, and integrated Chinese excellent traditional cultural elements into community landscapes and corridor culture.
Relying on traditional festivals, various communities regularly hold activities such as neighborhood festivals and family banquets. The Great Wall Garden Community has held Thousand Family Banquets for 13 consecutive years, becoming a vivid epitome of neighborhood interaction and integration.
Shared interests also connect residents. "We, sisters of all ethnic groups, dance with the same movement, sing with the same tune, and we are a family in life." said Song Sizhen, leader of the "Soul of Dreams" art troupe in Mengyuan Community.
Yinchuan has also established a "Pomegranate Seed" propaganda team, an ethnic cultural volunteer service team, and a "Pomegranate Seed Mediation Room" to recruit veteran party members and village sages to participate in dispute mediation; it regularly visits and assists families in need, and writes the content of ethnic unity into residents' covenants.
Doorstep service is more heartwarming
Yinchuan has invested a total of more than 800 million yuan to supplement the shortcomings in elderly care, childcare, medical and other services, and gradually build a community service system covering all age groups.
In pilot communities, day care centers, elderly canteens, and built-in child care centers are being built one after another, and the "property + elderly care" door-to-door assistance model is also being explored.
For elderly people living alone, Yinchuan has installed more than 2,300 sets of intelligent sensing devices. When an elderly person encounters an emergency, he or she can call for help with one click.
Community health service stations have been upgraded simultaneously, and services such as family doctor contracting, chronic disease management, and free health clinics have continued to be carried out. Old pipe networks, gas pipelines, fire protection facilities and security systems have been renovated, and safety hazard inspections have become the norm.
Convenient services are also extending to doorsteps. Yinchuan has opened convenient maintenance and collection agency services in more than 30 communities, and built a "neighborhood cloud" online platform to facilitate residents to report their demands and sign up for activities. At the same time, we will build pocket parks and slow-moving greenways, promote garbage classification, conduct selections for beautiful buildings and the most beautiful courtyards, and guide people of all ethnic groups to build shared ecological homes.
From environmental improvement to service improvement, from diverse co-governance to neighborhood integration, Yinchuan implements the construction of a complete community into daily changes that residents can feel and feel. The "small unit" of the community connects thousands of households and also carries the "big story" of national unity. People of all ethnic groups have enhanced understanding and deepened friendship while living together, learning together, building together, sharing, and enjoying together, and jointly painted a new picture of "the residents of Yinchuan's multi-ethnic community are as close as one family."
