Reasonable alternatives should also be provided, and we should not rely solely on "blocking" to prevent communities from "enclosing land for growing vegetables"
In the suburbs of Shanghai, it is often seen that some property owners in some communities privately occupy and destroy public green spaces and "enclose the land to grow vegetables." On the one hand, this behavior destroys the original greening design of the community and affects the overall beauty; on the other hand, for vegetable seedlings to thrive, fertilizer is essential, which causes problems such as mosquitoes, garbage, and odors, and neighbors are often unbearable to disturb them. Conflicts and disputes continued.
According to relevant laws and regulations, the illegal act of destroying greenery is dealt with by relevant law enforcement departments. However, every time the law enforcement department staff come to the scene to dissuade them and leave, the vegetable planting behavior "resurges" again. The reasons may be inseparable from the following factors: First, some elderly owners lack entertainment activities and social channels, are lonely and bored, and regard growing vegetables as a pastime and fun; second, some owners do not understand the legal provisions or do not know how to do it. Respect, believing that public green space is the "back garden" at the door of one's home, which can be used and modified at will; third, some owners are influenced by traditional rural concepts and believe that growing vegetables can save expenses, ensure food safety, increase income, etc.; fourth, some owners The property management company has poor management or inaction, and failed to promptly discover and stop the behavior of enclosing land for growing vegetables.
I believe that in order to stop the "enclosure of land for vegetable cultivation" in communities from the root, we must "combine blockades and blockades" and take multiple measures at the same time. It is recommended that the following measures can be taken:
First, strengthen publicity and education to improve owners’ legal awareness and sense of civic responsibility. Through radio, television, newspapers, WeChat groups and other channels in the community, we can popularize the "Civil Code of the People's Republic of China", "Shanghai Greening Regulations" and other relevant legal provisions to the owners, so that they understand that privately occupying and destroying public green spaces is illegal and illegal. behavior will be punished by law.
The second is to strengthen community management and supervision, and promptly detect and stop enclosures for growing vegetables. Public green spaces in the community can be comprehensively protected and managed by setting up surveillance cameras, increasing patrol personnel, and setting up reporting hotlines. Once someone is found to be occupying or destroying public green space without permission, they should be immediately dissuaded and asked to restore their original status; if they do not listen to dissuasion or cause serious consequences, they should be held accountable in accordance with the law.
The third is to provide reasonable alternatives to meet the vegetable growing needs of some owners. Legal and compliant planting space can be provided for owners who are interested in growing vegetables by building community vegetable gardens and leasing farmland. At the same time, we can also organize various cultural activities, volunteer services, etc. to enrich the owners' spare time life and enhance their awareness of caring for the community environment.
The fourth is to establish a long-term mechanism to achieve normalized management. A good governance atmosphere and order can be formed in the community by formulating and improving relevant rules and regulations, establishing reward and punishment mechanisms, and strengthening communication and coordination. At the same time, effective communication channels and collaboration mechanisms should be established between government departments, property companies and owners to achieve timely detection and information sharing of violations in order to carry out normalized management.
