Xinhua News Agency reporter Lin Deren Yang Fan Ma Kai
The county seat is an important part of my country’s urban system, and it is the key support for the integrated development of urban and rural areas. In recent years, great progress has been made in the construction of sports-related infrastructure in the county seat. In the first half of this year, the “Opinions on Building a Higher-level National Fitness Public Service System” and “Opinions on Promoting Urbanization with the County as an Important Carrier”, etc. Documents have been issued one after another, pointing out the direction for the future development of county sports.
County sports-related practitioners and experts told Xinhua News Agency reporters that under the background of the progress in the construction of county sports infrastructure, the next step should be to adapt to local conditions, fully relying on the resource endowment of each county, to achieve the precise layout of sports infrastructure, and better meet the needs of local people’s fitness needs.
With rapid development, the sports facilities in the county have changed their old appearance
In Shexian County, Handan City, Hebei Province, is located the largest Wuzhishan Ski Resort in southern Hebei Province. Under the traction of the Beijing Winter Olympics and the rich ice and snow sports venues in the county, Shexian County has led 250,000 people to participate in ice and snow sports.
Lin Tao, deputy director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau of Rongjiang County, Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou Province, introduced that at present, Rongjiang County has badminton courts, basketball courts, table tennis courts, standard football fields, tennis courts, indoor swimming pools and other hardware facilities. There is also an ecological sports park with an area of 300,000 square meters in the old city. There are fitness trails, basketball courts, futsal fields, beach volleyball courts and badminton courts in the park. Smart fitness equipment is also installed.
Lin Tao said: “Sports in Rongjiang County should be the epitome of Chinese sports. Whether it is mass sports or competitive sports, the participation of ordinary people is relatively high, reflecting the environment of China’s big sports.”
From a national perspective, there are many counties with upgraded sports infrastructure. According to the “Data Bulletin of the Sixth National Sports Venue Census”, at the end of 2013, there were 12.45 sports venues per 10,000 people in the country, and the per capita sports venue area was 1.46 square meters. By the end of 2021, the national per capita sports ground area has reached 2.41 square meters.
Huang Jun, deputy director of the Guiyang Sports Bureau, said: “The sports development of the county seat has played an important role in driving the development of sports in surrounding rural areas and undertaking municipal sports-related work in the overall pattern of sports in China. “
Adapting measures to local conditions, the county sports a hundred flowers bloom
In the vast territory of China, counties located in different regions have different resource endowments, and on such a diverse soil, a variety of county sports models have also grown.
In Hainan Qiongzhong Li and Miao Autonomous County, football has become one of the three major industries developed by the county. Relying on the “Qiongzhong Women’s Football” brand built over the years, the county is stepping up the construction of the Qiongzhong Women’s Football Demonstration Base.
Since the National South Training Base in Baisha Li Autonomous County of Hainan was completed and put into use in October 2018, it has attracted many national boxing teams, national triathlon teams, national wrestling teams, national modern pentathlon teams, and national archery teams. The “National Brand” team came to train and prepare for the battle.
The superior natural conditions are the most important reason why Baisha is favored by many national teams. Kang Minli, deputy secretary general of the China Boxing Association, said that the high content of negative oxygen ions in the air of Baisha will help athletes recover from high-intensity training.
Relying on the unique local natural conditions, Yangshuo County, Guilin City, Guangxi has developed a variety of sports formats, and rock climbing is one of the biggest highlights. Zhou Yan, secretary of the Yangshuo County Party Committee, said: “There is a popular saying in the rock climbing industry, ‘Chinese rock climbing sees Yangshuo’. The karst landform in Yangshuo has been praised by many Chinese and foreign rock friends as ‘the most suitable limestone for rock climbing’. At present, 64 rock fields have been developed in Yangshuo County. , more than 1,200 lines.”
Xiao Shuhong, dean of the School of Sports Business of Beijing Sport University, said that documents such as “Opinions on Promoting Urbanization with County Towns as Important Carriers” and “Opinions on Building a Higher-level Public Service System for National Fitness” will have important implications for the development of sports in county towns. The huge promotion effect provides a direction for solving the bottleneck problem of county sports development.
Xiao Shuhong believes that in order to develop the national fitness business in the county, it is necessary to lock in high-quality resources with local characteristics, which can not only meet the fitness needs of local people, but also build local brands through the development of events, tourism, etc., so as to form a “one county, one product”. Effect.
Precise layout, “built” is more “useful”
From construction, to utilization, to maintenance and upgrading, the construction of county sports infrastructure is also a systematic project. Zhao Jianguang, director of the Tourism and Culture Bureau of Qiongzhong Li and Miao Autonomous County, said that after the construction of sports hardware, operation management and maintenance are required, and the venue cannot be “baked in the sun” to avoid waste of resources. We must follow a market-oriented operation model and have hematopoietic capabilities.
Zhai Hongfei, director of the mass sports department of the Xinjiang Sports Bureau, who has been in the village for two years in Bachu County, Kashgar, said: “I think the first point in the construction of sports facilities in the county seat should consider the convenience of the people, so that the masses can easily carry out sports activities. .”
Regarding the key points that need to be paid attention to in the construction of sports infrastructure in the county, Xiao Shuhong said that it is necessary to resolutely focus on the people, meet the real needs of the people, meet the living habits of the people, and meet the real sports needs.
“If you use it, build it; if you don’t need it, don’t build it. It must be done according to the needs, not the more the better. The construction of sports facilities is a measure, not a goal. We must maximize value, that is, achieve maximum value with minimum cost. Seeing that others have large venues, and I want to do large venues myself, this approach is too formalized, and it will also lead to a waste of resources.” Xiao Shuhong said.
Zhai Hongfei said: “When a county has a unique sports culture, a certain sport has a good atmosphere and a high overall level, or has good infrastructure and a high level of competition, it may become a provincial or district sports center.”
