INTRODUCTION The second environmental management supervision mission for the Shaanxi post-Wenchuan earthquake restoration and reconstruction project was carried out from Apr 25 - 28, 2012. The mission participants included Mr. Duan Kai, Lou Jing (officials from Shaanxi Provincial Project Management Office) and Yang Jianjun (Freelance Environment Specialist). The purpose of the mission was to review the progress status of implementing the environmental management plan (EMP), which includes: (1) the capability of implementing EMP at county PMOs and project site PMOs; (2) identity the environmental impact of the construction and operation activities to make sure the requirements of environmental impact assessment (EIA) are properly implemented; (3) supervision and evaluation the effectiveness of the mitigation measures; and (4) review the issues raised during the first supervision mission. During the field patrolling, the mission held meetings and discussed with staff of county level PMOs, on-site engineering supervisors, and main contractors, conducted field visits. The findings are summarized as following. 2. INSPECTED PROJECTS The mission has visited all four project countries in two municipalities of Shaanxi province. The visited project sites included both reconstruction of damaged roads and school buildings. For each subproject, the patrol team inspected the construction sites and collected information through onsite 1 interviews and working meetings with staff from project management offices (PMO) at county level and onsite offices. The focuses of the inspection are: onsite environmental management plan (EMP), implementation of mitigation measures, as well as environmental issues encountered and corresponding solutions. The information of inspected sites is summarized in Table 1. Table 1.

OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A. Good practice in environmental management Environmental management of the project has been given a great attention throughout the project management. Each subproject has gone through EIA process and approved by the local government. During construction phase, the project implementation agencies (IAs) inspect the civil works regularly and take account site environmental management as an important aspect. For 2 most cases, onsite environmental management was taken care by the engineering supervision agencies. But for the environmentally sensitive project, such as Hanjiang Bridge project, a dedicated environmental supervision consultant is hired to monitor onsite environmental management throughout the project. The environmental supervision consultant works together with the IAs to help the construction contractor with implementation of environmental requirement developed in the EIA stage and reports results to the local and provincial environmental authorities on a quarterly basis. During the site inspection, the environmental specialist noticed that some of the mitigation measures were taken by the Contractors, i.e. (1) conduct environment and safety training; (2) setup of safety board and sign, equipment of personal helmets; (3) spray water on the access roads to control dust; and (4) timely recovery the construction sites and landscaping, particularly in most of the school building projects. B. Observations and Recommendations a) Chencang District Guozhen Junior High School has finished all the civil work. The complex building, student dormitory and cafeteria have been put into operation. All the construction debris has been removed and the school yard has been landscaped with grass and trees. The sewage and waste water from the student dormitory and cafeteria are collected and pretreated via a septic tank and oil removing device. It is suggested that an oil collecting device should be installed at the outlet of the exhaust fan of the kitchen to collect waste oil and the oil collector and oil removing device must be cleaned regularly and maintained properly. Changqu Junior High School has finished its major civil work. At the moment, there are about 150 workers are doing the internal and external painting and 3 decoration. Most of the workers are from the local villages. No people stay for overnight. Therefore, domestic waste from the construction workers is not an issue. However, the environmental specialist recommends the contractor should strengthen onsite housekeeping, especially for the construction materials. Chencang Primary school is a new development with no interference with the school activities. It is still at its foundation stage. The construction site is far from residential area but near by the city streets. It is recommended the contractor pay a great attention to the construction traffic; make sure the vehicles driven out from construction site are safe and clean. Qianhe Bridge project is one of the environmentally sensitive projects due to its potential impact to the aquatic environment. Most of civil work (all the columns in the river course) has been finished during the dry season. It is recommended that the contractor should strengthen the onsite management and clean up the debris and construction garbage before the rain season avoiding surface water pollution. b) Mianxian County Mianxian No.1 Middle School project includes one teaching building (6,000 m2), one student dormitory (6,200 m2) and one library (5,200 m2). So far, the main project has finished and now is working on the cable installation. It is recommended that the front yard of the Teaching Building should be landscaped as soon as possible. Mianxian No. 4 Middle School project has been completed and put into operation. The construction of play ground is under construction but it is 4 isolated with the teaching and living area. It is suggested the school regularly check the water quality, which is supplied by a deep well in the school, and clean up the septic tank and oil colleting facility to avoiding surface/groundwater pollution. Hanjiang Bridge project is in its closing stage. The potential impact to water course is minimized because of the application of the cantilever casting technology. The project environment management plan is well implemented under the supervision of onsite environmental supervision consultant (Shaanxi Bohou Environmental Supervision) and the local government. c) Lueyang County Lueyang No.3 Middle School Project includes two buildings. The main structure of student dormitory including café (4,000 m2) has been finished and the teaching building project (2,000 m2) is doing ground cleanup. During construction phase, all the students were transferred to Lueyang No. 2 Middle School, therefore, construction activities has no impact on teaching program and students’ life.

Those activities laid the foundation for what has since become a full-fledged emergency response to the 12 May 2008 Sichuan earthquake. The huge scale of the devastation along a swath of territory running from central Sichuan to southern Gansu quickly prompted a major government mobilization. The Government of China worked around the clock to organize and undertake a massive rescue and relief operation to save lives and address the needs of earthquake survivors. The government’s TABLE OF CONTENTS response was impressive in its speed, scope of mobilization, and resource inputs. The scale of damage riveted attention as media reports and citizen 1 Foreword blogs carried the story to a stunned world. It quickly became clear that the public response to this disaster would be on a scale quite different 3 Introduction from previous major disasters in China. Immediately, a national wave of concern and support materialized, and it was not unusual to see cars and 5 Maps buses filled with food, water and volunteers making their way to Sichuan to offer whatever help they could.

  • The Hanzhong Written Poetry of Tang Dynasty and Contemporary Urban Construction in Hanzhong
    2019 International Conference on Social Science and Education (ICSSAE 2019) The Hanzhong Written Poetry of Tang Dynasty and Contemporary Urban Construction in Hanzhong Zhongjun Wang Xi'an Peihua University, Xi'an, Shanxi Province, China [email protected] Keywords: poetry of the Tang Dynasty; Hanzhong writing; urban construction Abstract: Hanzhong is geographically located in the center of the map of China. Its geographical feature is "strategically located and difficult to access in four stoppages". Hanshui River’s origin is through-flowed and has a long history. In the poets’ pens of the Tang Dynasty, its traffic was very convenient, the history and culture were profound, the natural environment was beautiful, and the cultural atmosphere was strong. This paper aims to explore the new findings, new ways to realize the spread of modern Hanzhong City image through the study of Hanzhong's written poetry in the Tang Dynasty in combination with the transformation of Hanzhong's City, and explore the importance of urban communication, endow Hanzhong, a historic and cultural city with a special and innovative connotation in visual form, and provide a feasible proposal and plan. Hanzhong crosses the north and south, and has two water systems of Hanshui and Jialing River. It is known as the “Jiangnan in the Northwest”. Thanks to the city’s profound historical and cultural heritage and outstanding humanities, Tang Dynasty’s countless poets stopped to enjoy them, some sang, some contemplated, some exclaimed, some were curious, some evoked memories of the past while living in the present, some indulged without scruples, all of these injected the romantic and fanatical blood of the Tang Dynasty into Hanzhong City, providing more colorful content for the spread of contemporary Hanzhong City.
