Part A Introduction

A.1 Brief Description of the Community and Its History

A.1.1 Profile

Sanxiaokou Sub-district is located in the central city of Luyang District, Hefei City, Anhui Province, China. Located in the city moat, it is adjacent to Lu’an Road and Tongcheng Road in the east, and connected to Xiaoyaojin Street; linked to South Ring Road in the south and West Ring Road in the west, and bordered on Baohe District and Shushan District; it joins North Ring Road in the north, close to Haozhou Road.

Covering an area of 2.92 square kilometers, it holds the office buildings of Anhui Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security, Anhui Provincial Department of Finance, Anhui Provincial Department of Justice, Anhui Provincial Department of Education, Anhui Provincial Public Security Department and other government agencies and institutions. It is 7 kilometers away from Hefei New Municipal and Culture District. Such arterial roads as Changjiang Road and Jinzhai Road pass through the city. Metro Line 2 and the planned Line 5 meet at Sanxiaokou. Its transportation, therefore, is very convenient.

Within this region, there are 35 commercial buildings such as Dongyi Square, Renhe Building, Jincheng Building and Run’an Building, and a number of featured commercial outlets and blocks such as Chenghuangmiao Market, Ladies’ Street and Baida Group Shopping Center. Among them, the Sanxiaokou CBD, the Special Dining Street of Weinan Road, the Lao Baoguan Commercial Food Plaza, and the Baida CBD have earned a high reputation in the Anhui province and even in the whole country in the recent years. They have gradually exerted strong influence and radiation on the economic development of Luyang District. After a comprehensive renovation, Ladies’ Street has become a highlight in the business world of Hefei province. The service industry dominated by the commerce and trade has become a new breakthrough point for the sustained economic development of Sanxiaokou Sub-district.

A.1.2 Natural and Human Environments

Located between the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River, Sanxiaokou Sub-district is in the mid-latitude zone. The temperature is cold in winter and hot in summer, and mild in spring and autumn. It belongs to the transitional zone from warm temperate zone to subtropical zone.

A.1.4 History and Development

Sanxiaokou was named after the story of Zhang Mei, Zhang Zhu and Zhang Songsan, who filially served their mother. In March 2012, the original Yimin Sub-district, Guangming Sub-district and Anqing Sub-district was merged to form Sanxiaokou Sub-district, with an area of 2.92 square kilometers. It includes six communities: Dafudi Community, Huilongqiao Community, Chenghuangmiao Community, Gongwan Community, Xipingmen Community and Xinghua Community.

To create a comfortable and pleasant living environment, the sub-district has planned and developed to build a safe community. In recent years, it has focused on creating distinctive neighborhoods to highlight its unique culture. Now it has one national commercial model neighborhood, three municipal commercial model neighborhoods and seven district-level commercial model neighborhoods.

In the region, there are 9 schools, 1 nursing home, and 3 hospitals; 37 institutions, 12 supermarkets, bazaars, 3 construction sites, 25 high-end hotels, 39 hotels, 8 Internet cafes, nearly 900 “Nine Small Places” mainly including small shops.

Part B Safe community work so far

B.1 Introduction

In 2013, the sub-district started the construction of safe community. In June 2014, it was named Hefei Urban Safe Community, Anhui province. In 2015, it was named the Anhui Provincial Safe Community. In March 2016, the construction was launched for an International Safe Community.

Based on the seven guidelines of the International Safe Community, we have established a governing body for building a safe community. By integrating the relevant cross-border institutions and sectors in the community, a work committee of construction has been established with multi-level cross-border cooperation based on the sub-district office and related professional group of safety promotion work. In addition, we have developed a program and a working plan for safe community construction, and carried out a baseline survey of residents’ injuries and publicity activities. Finally, we have planned and implemented 9 injury-prevented programs (e.g. transportation, fire protection, schools, children, the elderly, work and public places, home, violence prevention, and publicity training) and 24 safety promotion projects. As of August 2018, the project effectiveness, awareness rate and satisfaction rate have reached the expected goals of safe community construction.

B.2 What are the Community’s politic visions on safety?

Under the guidance of “Everyone has the equal right to health and safety”, we are committed to increasing the safety awareness and precautionary skills of community members and reducing all kinds of dangers so as to “create a harmonious Sanxiaokou safe community”.

B.3 Why is the Community Interested in Being a Member of the International Safe Community Network?

According to the goal of safe community construction, we have integrated risk management mechanism into the construction of community. The community safety construction has been promoted through fulfilling all the objectives set for risk management. We have provided residents with training of safety skills to comprehensively increase public safety awareness and precautionary skills. We have managed the risks of commercial buildings by comprehensively controlling the risks in key areas to reduce all kinds of accidents.

B.4 Advantages already found as a result of the Safe Community work.

B.4.1 The Safe Community Concept Has Gained Popularity

In the past five years, we have continuously deepened cross-border cooperation in the community construction, and social resources have been further optimized. The community safety concept has gradually gained popularity. By forming volunteer teams, we have advocated self-management and self-discipline, joint prevention and joint governance in the safety promotion work. Therefore, people have gradually acknowledged the necessity of participating in the safe community construction.

B.4.2 Effective Models Have Been Obtained for Safety Management of Community.

Community construction has become an important carrier for the community to speed social construction, and an important platform for maintaining social security. It has improved community safety by strengthening basic management and implementing safety promotion work. An effective mechanism has been formed for risk management, and key risks haven been effectively controlled, providing a good guarantee for economic and social development in the region.

B.4.3 Risks Has Been Reduced so that Different Kinds of Injuries Have Dropped

Compared with 2013, there was a significant decline in all types of injuries at the end of 2017. For example, students’ accidental injuries were reduced by 10.38%, accidental injuries of the elderly by 16.99%, accidental injuries of disabled persons by 24%, traffic accidents by 21.6%, and the number of fires in residential quarters by 25%. At the same time, many hazards have been eliminated, for example, the fire hazards in “Nine Small Places” have been reduced by 40%, and the hazards of living elevators have decreased by 57.14%. The safety factor has been improved of various types of places, greatly heightening the safety feeling of residents.

B.5 Difficulties Faced in Implementing Safety Promotion Work in the Community

B.5.1 Difficulties in Funding for Safety Promotion Projects

The difficulties faced by the community in implementing safety promotion work are mainly the capital investment in improving the security environment. Up to now, the capital investment in the safe community construction is mainly aimed at the public environment, and the environment has not been fully covered inside the residential buildings and enterprises and institutions.

B.5.2 The Enthusiasm of Residents Needs to be fired to Participate in Safety Promotion Work

At present, some residents are not enthusiastic about participating in safety promotion work due to the following two reasons. First, some people are busy with their business during working day, while they are busy with their housework during holidays, so there are not many time and opportunities for them to participate in the community activities. Second, some young and middle-aged residents are not enthusiastic about participating in the safety promotion work due to the lack of participation awareness, believing that security issues are the responsibility of government agencies or organizations.

B.5.3 Temporary Residents Are Not Motivated to Participate in the Work

Most of them think that they are temporarily living in the community, so they are not enthusiastic about participating in safety promotion work. When the project team implements interventions in the safety promotion work for them, their participation is insufficient and further incentives is needed.

B.6 Funding and Volunteer Services in Safe Community Work

B.6.1 Funding for Safety Promotion Work

From 2013 to 2018, the sub-district has invested RMB 8.47 million in the community safety promotion work. See Table B.1.

Part C Basics about the Safe Community work at the Executive level

C.1 Injury risk overview in the community

(1) Most residents lack of good safety awareness

According to a survey in 2013, the residents have an inefficient safety awareness. About 23% and 42% of residents have insufficient knowledge about the dangers by piling igniting combustibles in the corridor and occupying fire exits separately. About 20% of residents do not know how to deal with sudden elevator failures.

(2) Regulatory pressure on safe production is increasing

Different industries are very loosely distributed in the region, with nearly 900 “Nine Small Places” (that is, small schools or kindergartens, small hospitals, small shops, small dining places, small hotels, small song and dance entertainment venues, small Internet cafes, small beauty bathing places, small production and processing enterprises). These industries are densely staffed with non-standard self-management, and there are many fire hazards. With the increase in construction projects, the regulatory pressure on 13 construction sites is also increasing.

(3) Pressure on road traffic is gradually increasing

There are many major roads in the region, with 5 arterial roads and 12 secondary arterials. Adults’ commute time is basically the same as children’ school time and home time. As a result, the increase in the number of vehicles has put a lot of pressure on traffic construction and management. Some key sections are prone to traffic accidents, such as the intersection of Changjiang Middle Road and Jinzhai Road, densely populated residential areas, and the sections with many schools. In 2013, there were 481 traffic accidents in Sanxiaokou Sub-district, causing 17 injuries in total.

(4) More measures are needed to be adopted to prevent campus injury incidents

There are many schools in the region, but the campus safety for schools, especially kindergartens, still needs to be improved. School environments are prone to cause injuries to students, and protection measures are not effective enough. School entrances are adjacent to main roads, and quite a few people and vehicles mixed there. The risk is relatively high for traffic accident. In 2013, 2 traffic accidents took place at the school entrance.

(6) The number of solitary elderly is increasing

The sub-district has a total of nearly 16,000 elderly people over the age of 65, including 134 solitary elderly. According to a survey, 42.7% of the elderly most expect to obtain domestic services, 21.3% have had falling accidents, and 54.5% have had collision injuries. Because there is no one to take care of, the solitary elderly are prone to accidental injuries such as falls and sprains at home.

(7) More efforts are needed to prevent fires in residential areas and “Nine Small Places”.

Commercial and residential buildings are used for catering business and other activities, resulting in a large amount of soot and high-temperature gas emissions. In the absence of special exhaust vents and insulation and heat insulation measures, the fire risk is relatively high. 2,1800 households have installed pipeline natural gas, but gas hoses are aging and damaged seriously and some residents have privately built or expanded illegal buildings for their convenience of life. These buildings covered gas pipelines in the community, resulting in higher risks for home gas. In 2013, there were 48 fires in the community, including 31 ones at residential houses and “Nine Small Places”, accounting for 64.6%. There are many fire hazards in these small places.

(8) Many hidden dangers exist in some public places and community infrastructure

There are many old streets and self-managed small neighborhoods, which have many blind spots in video surveillance due to the lack of monitoring equipment. Many burglaries and electric vehicle thefts have happened in the past years.

(9) The elevators are in disrepair in many public places and high-rise buildings

The sub-district is an integrated community of business and living. There are many risks in crowded places such as Xinghua Park. Because there are many business organizations and large and dense crowds, these super high-rise buildings have always been a high-risk environment for fire accidents requiring key control. 347 elevators have been used in shopping malls, supermarkets, office buildings and high-rise residential buildings in the area. These elevators have been used for nearly 30 years. The equipment and facilities of the elevators have also been aging, such as lighting damage, car swaying, and caller damage.

C.2 Which objectives are formulated for governing the Safe Community work?

C.2.1 Overall objects

Under the vision of constructing a safe community, we strive to passing the International Safe Community Certification in 2018 and become a member of the International Safe Community network by controlling key risks, reducing all kinds of accidental injuries, and increasing residents’ safety knowledge and emergency response capability through a working mechanism with the guidance of government, cross-border cooperation, residents’ full participation, and project leading, and an effective operation mechanism of safety promotion work.

C.2.2 Specific objects

By the end of 2017, the number of workplace accidents shall be lower than the limit set up by the district government. Traffic accidents shall be reduced in a large scale and no serious traffic accidents shall take place. The number of deaths caused by traffic accidents should not be more than that in the previous year. Rate of burglary cases is not less than 5% per year. No abnormal deaths shall occur in schools and kindergartens. Fall injuries on the elderly shall be reduced by 10%. No fire deaths or accidents shall happen with a single loss of more than 1 million yuan in the community. Other types of accidents and injuries shall fall by 10% to 35%.

C.3 How is safety prioritized in the community budgets since the Program Started?

According to the next year’s budget of promotion project submitted by each project team, the International Safe Community Construction Committee will formulate a plan and preferentially submit it to the Luyang District Government for financial support. The district government has special funds for safe community construction, and the funds will be arranged according to the requirements of the safety promotion work. The community will also give priority to the funding needs of related projects directly related to people’s safety. See Table B.1 (P5) for details.

C.4 Economic Incentives Are Adopted to Promote Community Safety

Economic incentives are used in the implementation of safety promotion projects. First, the safe community construction will be included in the annual assessment for all administrative staff, and appropriate economic rewards will be given based on their performance. Second, residents are encouraged to take safety measures in their home living by providing subsidies for them in the residents’ safety project. For example, subsidies are provided to residents for taking gas-safety measures, and safety equipment facilities are provided for free to vulnerable groups.

C.5 Rules and Regulations Prepared by the Sub-district for Promoting Community Safety in addition to National Regulations.

In accordance with the guidelines for the construction of international safe community, we have developed the work plan and its corresponding work system based on the situation of Sanxiaokou Sub-district. In general, the system can be divided into two aspects. The first is the basic management work system (18 items) and the emergency plan (4 categories) to regulate the daily safety operations of community. The second is the operational system for the construction of international safe communities, including cross-border organizational operations, information exchange and communication, risk identification and evaluation, measures for managing the implementation of safety promotion work, methods for keeping monitoring records on accident injury, annual review and other key work systems, to make the construction of safe communities programmed and institutionalized.

E.2 Projects Covering Specific Categories of the Environment

E.2.1 Program for Safely Using the Elevator


347 elevators are used in shopping malls, supermarkets, office buildings and high-rise residential buildings in this sub-district. Most elevators have been in use for nearly 30 years. As the service time of supporting elevators is very long, there are outstanding hazards in them. In 2013, a total of 73 elevator inspections were organized and a total of 49 hidden dangers were discovered. The dangers mainly include four types of problems: lighting damage, car swaying, caller damage, and no annual inspection. In addition, according to the questionnaire survey, 93.01% of people often take elevators, 15.17% of people have encountered elevators falling, and about 20% of people have insufficient knowledge about elevator safety.


① Completing the information of elevators to manage them in a unified manner

The program team has unified the management of 347 elevators in this region through establishing registration account for each elevator according to its type and use area, and specifying the main responsibility of elevator safety.

② Setting up an elevator-safety supervision team

The program team has formed a supervisory group for elevator safety. The group member consists of the sectors of quality supervision, housing construction, industry and commerce, public security, urban management, thus forming an elevator-safety grid management system with three levels of supervision of sub-district, community and building.

③ Establishing an elevator-safety inspection team

At least once every six months, the team has conducted a network-based investigation and inspection on the use of elevators in supermarkets, shopping malls, hotels, hospitals, construction sites and other crowded places.

Figure E-6 Special Inspection of Elevator

④ Replacing old elevators, and adding information and warning signs

Since 2014, 6 old elevators have been replaced in Hefei Xinshiji Building, Xinghua Park Management Committee, Sanxiaokou Sub-district Office, Runan Building, etc.; 77 elevators have been repaired to eliminate 233 hidden dangers. At the same time, 347 “Notice cards for safe elevator use” were posted in the elevator.

(3) Program effect

Each year, the project team conducts special inspections for elevators with hidden dangers. The cumulative number of inspections is 2,060, and 666 hidden dangers are investigated and rectified. From 2014 to 2017, the risks of elevators decreased by 16.07%, 3.55%, 12.05% and 14.29% year by year. In addition, from the classification of hidden dangers of elevators, the hidden danger of elevator is the car sway. And such danger is also reduced year by year, reflecting that the security has been improved of the elevator’s hardware facilities.

E.2.2 Fire Prevention and Controlling Program for “Nine Small Places”


The sub-district is in the center of Hefei, so that it is densely populated. 869 “Nine Small Places” are widely distributed in this region. The employees are generally migrants, with strong mobility and frequent work changes. In addition, among 48 fires in 2013, 14 occurred in “Nine Small Places”, accounting for 29.2% of the annual amount. At the same time, in 2013, the team conducted safety inspections on 1,428 business organizations, finding 341 fire hazards in the “Nine Small Places”.


① Implementing a fire grid management model to strengthen a three-level working mechanism

In this mechanism, a member unit is responsible for one of 6 communities. Each community constitutes a middle grid, in which the community head will lead the fire protection specialists, the community police, and the community staff to carry out the work. Each medium grid is divided into 12 small grids, each consisting of one lead, two members, one policeman, and one fire-safety instructor.

Figure E-10 Supervision Network for Safety Production

② Classifying the statistics on the “Nine Small Places” to achieve unified management

All business organizations in the sub-district have been registered to establish different types and levels of registration ledgers in accordance with key industry, field and region. According to the incidence of hidden dangers, they are divided into three classifications, organizations requiring key supervision (inspected once a month), organizations needing general supervision (inspected once every quarter), and organizations requiring inspection supervision (inspected once half a year).

③ Conducting regular safety checks

In addition to daily inspections, the team has carried out special and centralized fire-safety inspections during the periods of “Two Festivals”, “May 1st”, and “100-day Security Check”, “Six Eliminations”, and special rectifications for fire safety in crowded places. From 2013 to 2017, a total of nearly 11,000 fire safety inspections were organized, and more than 3,700 hazards were found in the “Nine Small Places”. All fire hazards have been rectified and eliminated.

④ Posting fire grid chart, risk-source warning sign

Fire grid charts are posted in each neighborhood and stores along the street, including the name of 1 grid lead, 2 grid members, 1 police officer, 1 fire safety instructor, and emergency contact number. Up to now, a total of 400 fire grid charts have been issued in “Nine Small Places”. In addition, the sub-district distributed risk-resource warning signs for the kitchen of each catering unit. Up to now, a total of 206 warning signs have been issued.

Each year, the team conducts fire-safety educations twice for each of six communities. It has set up mobile publicity posts, distributed 200 CDs, 5000 promotional materials, and 20,000 publicity works about fire safety.

(3) Program effect

By the end of June 2018, the project team had cumulatively investigated and eliminated more than 3,700 fire hazards in the “Nine Small Places”. From 2013 to 2017, the numbers of fire hazards in the “Nine Small Places” accounted for 59%, 51.14%, 52.02%, 48.07%, and 39.12% of the total numbers respectively. At the same period, the number of fires in the “Nine Small Places” was 14, 7, 18, 5, and 1, respectively, showing a general downward trend.

E.2.3 Program for Safely Using Gas


The sub-district is in the center of Hefei City with numerous residential buildings. With the economic development, the living conditions of residents have been improved. Liquefied gas and pipeline natural gas are widely used among most of residents. By the end of 2013, a total of 317 organizations used liquefied gas, and 2,1800 residents and 52 organizations used pipeline natural gas. Gas hoses, however, are aging and damaged seriously. And some residents privately built or expanded illegal buildings for their convenience of life. These buildings cover gas pipelines in the community, resulting in higher risks for home gas.


① Establishing an operating system for rectifying the buildings over gas pipelines.

Establishing an operating system for rectifying the buildings over the gas pipelines, and forming a joint system of law enforcement for the Sub-district Mass Center, Hefei Gas Group, District Housing and Construction Bureau, and District Urban Management Bureau.

② Conducting regular safety inspections for gas use

Two comprehensive inspections are conducted of gas safety for small restaurants, small restaurants and home users each year. At the same time, the sub-district office and the Hefei Gas Company and the community committees jointly launched a large-scale investigation on the hidden dangers of gas pipelines. After conducting an inspection of 53 residential communities in the region, the teams confirmed the illegally occupied position and its related buildings and appendages by comparison with the underground gas pipeline map.

Figure E-14 Inspection of Gas Safety Figure E-15 Inspection of Gas Safety

③ Organizing rectification of illegal buildings to eliminate hidden dangers in gas pipelines

In response to the hidden dangers such as illegal construction or attachments, every illegally-involved party was interviewed to inform of the dangers and seriousness of the hazards of the illegal buildings above the gas pipeline, and ordered the concerned parties to demolished by themselves within a time limit. From 2013 to 2018, the team has conducted 40 special inspections and eliminated 77 hidden dangers.

④ Replacing old rubber gas hose with stainless steel gas hose

Staff of neighborhood committees and of gas company went to the door to measure the length data of the hose on site to replace the old rubber hose with the stainless-steel hose. A total of 206 small dining organizations on this sub-district have been replaced with stainless steel gas hoses. For household gas users, the sub-district has preferentially replaced for 187 elderly households with stainless steel hoses.

⑤ Promoting gas-safety knowledge in the community

During the annual “Safety Promotion Month”, the sub-district office and the Hefei Gas Group jointly launched a special training for gas safety. The number of people participating in the training is about 120, involving small catering owners and community residents. In addition, the project team has used the bulletin board, brochures and safety reminders to publicize the common sense of gas safety. Fire experience rooms have been used to help residents learn how to use fire extinguishers and escape and respond to fires. The number of participants is 15,000.

Figure E-16 Gas Safety Training in Community

(3) Program effect

The program team has cooperated with the relevant sectors to carry out gas-safety hazard investigation and update underground iron pipe; eliminate the illegal buildings over the gas pipeline and 195 gas leaks in the residential community; replace stainless steel gas hoses for all small restaurants and half of households in the community, greatly reducing the risk of gas accidents. There have been no fire accidents caused by gas since the implementation of the project.

E.2.4 Program for Preventing and Controlling Fire in the Old Neighborhood


At present, there are missing, aging and damage to fire facilities in residential areas. Original fire-pipe network and fire hydrants has lost their function of fire protection. Many people have run small restaurants in residential areas, resulting in serious fire hazards. Residents of the old community often piled up debris in public corridors and balconies, so the fire risk is more prominent in the neighborhood. In 2013, there were 48 fires in the sub-district, including 31 residential houses and nine small business households, accounting for 64.6%.


① Establishing the “Four Clearance and One Check” action team and conducting regular inspections

The sub-district has set up a fire safety “Four Clears and One Check” special action leading group, responsible for organizing, leading and coordinating the special action in the region. At the same time, the sub-district office and the public security police stations are responsible for the specific work of the action. Up to now, the leading group has carried out 193 special operations, and a total of 147 hidden dangers have been cleared up.

② Updating fire equipment

The sub-district has updated and added fire facilities in the old neighborhoods. In 2014-2017, a total of 775 emergency fire-fighting boxes have been set up, and a total of 1,550 dry-powder fire extinguishers of more than 2 kg have been put into operation; 19 outdoor fire hydrants have been added to 10 old neighborhoods; and 2 miniature fire stations have been set up in residential areas.

⑦ Adopting a social supervision system

The sub-district has adopted a social supervision system for major fire hazards. In 2014, this system has been used to supervise the rectification of fire hazards in the Anbei Community. In 2015, it has been adopted to supervise the rectification of the hidden fire dangers in the Qiguitang Food Market. In 2017, this system was used to supervise the special rectification of electrical line of No. 350 Jinzhai Road.

(3) Preventive effect

The number of electrical fires in old communities from 2013 to 2017 is gradually decreasing every year. The number of electrical fires in 2017 decreased by 72.23% compared with 2013; the fire accident caused by ignition source in residents’ life increased from 2015 to 2016, and then the project team has intervened in time. The number of fires caused by ignition source in residents’ life in 2017 has dropped to 2. There have been no fire accidents in this community since the beginning of 2018. There was no fire accident caused by charging electric motorcycle within five years.

E.2.5 Program for School Safety


According to injury monitoring data, many students are prone to scratches and bruises in some places such as teaching areas and playing areas. At the same time, there are hidden risks such as old teaching buildings, falling walls, and pits in sports venues due to disrepair. School’s safety system needs to be further improved, and safety education needs to be further strengthened. Primary and secondary school students are naturally active and like to chase and play in the campus, causing accidental injuries. In 2014, there were 20 accidental injuries among students in school, due to the playing features of students.


① Improving the safety of school environment

Each stairway has been equipped with anti-tread measures, emergency evacuation road maps and safety warning signs. On the campus, traffic warning signs such as no bicycle riding and vehicle parking are highlighted, as well as vehicle speed bumps. Guardrails of the corridor in the teaching building have been raised. Damaged floor tiles have been replaced. Plastic tracks have been replaced that do not meet the safety and environmental protection standards in the playground. Soft packaging handling is used in the basketball stand to ensure its safety. The building structure around the power distribution cabinet has been removed and protective fence has been added to the cabinet.

Figure E-21 Bathroom Renovation Figure E-22 Renovation of Power Distribution Cabinet

② Setting up an emergency organization

A team of volunteer safety supervisors is formed by dozens of faculty and staff members to prevent accidents and handle emergencies as soon as they appear in their own sections.

③ Formulating effective management systems

A more perfect campus safety responsibility system and a reward-and-punishment system have been established. Each year, the school signs a safety management responsibility agreement with the class and departments. Safety leaders are identified for all parts of the campus, making the school’s safety work a network. Safety management responsibilities are specified to each person, and prevention and control measures have been implemented for all types of accident risk.

④ Carrying out publicity and education

Schools have launched a safety publicity and education column on its website to publicize and update the knowledge and cases of traffic safety, fire safety, electricity safety, sports safety, safety precautions. Through the newspapers, publicity windows and school-made exhibition boards, schools have launched the “One Theme per Month” safety education activities; they have organized teachers and students to participate in the safety-knowledge contests. In addition, security professionals and legal experts have been invited to conduct class safety education and training for class teachers, and a “Class Teacher’s Safety Education Manual” has been prepared and sent to class teacher to guide the safety education for the class.

Figure E-23 Publicity and Education

⑤ Conducting emergency drills

School have organized teachers and students to conduct one or two emergency evacuations and fire drills each year, and provided training courses for voluntary safety supervisors. Expired fire extinguishers are used for teachers and students to practice their fire prevention skills.


After the intervention of the project, the campus environment has been significantly improved at its safety, and the awareness of parents has been significantly increased in participating in campus safety. From 2014 to 2018, the total number is 93 of accidental injuries at the campus, 20, 22, 26, and 25 respectively. Risks are identified at the campus, and effectively controlled through the operation of project.

E.2.6 Programs for Traffic Safety


In recent years, the number of vehicles has increased sharply, but enough parking lots has not been completed in time, resulting in serious parking violations of motor vehicles.

Illegal operations were very common for motor vehicles. Drivers often stopped on the road to pick up or wait for passengers. In 2013, there were 19 general traffic accidents in the region, resulting in 17 injuries and 462 minor traffic accidents, caused by motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle.


① Establishing a comprehensive law enforcement office with necessary equipment and facilities

A comprehensive law enforcement office has been set up with law-enforcement patrol cars and computers. The staff includes two police officers from the Fourth Traffic Police Brigade, two staff members from the Luyang District Transportation Management Office, and two Sub-district Urban Management Team members.

② Carrying out enforcement actions

Traffic police, transportation management and urban management cooperate with each other to strengthen patrol monitoring on key sections of the Changjiang Middle Road, Jinzhai Road and Mengcheng Road that are prone to violations. From 2015 to 2017, they imposed penalties on 2,506, 18,467, and 13,463 traffic violations.

③ Carrying out special road renovations

In response to the disrepair of the key roads in this region, the project team has formulated a special rectification plan to comprehensively renovate the key sections.

④ Adding traffic facilities and warning signs

When renovating the road surface, the team has added traffic lights at the intersection of Renmin Road and Hongxing Road, and changed a section of about 350 meters long of Renmin Road from Changjiang Middle Road to Hongxing Road from two-way road to a one-way street. The reconstructed section has 12 individual driving signs, 6 banned signs and 2 pedestrian crossing signs.

E.3 Projects Cover Specific Categories of Situations

E.3.1 Social Security Prevention Plan (for four types of preventable cases)


There are many old neighborhoods in this area, with poor hardware facilities and software. There are obvious deficiencies in both the public security hardware and the private security hardware in residential buildings. The rented houses in the old neighborhoods account for more than 40% of all houses. Compared with local households, temporary residents have significantly lower anti-theft awareness. In 2013, there were 303 public security cases in the region, including 162 cases of burglary and 125 cases of electric-vehicle theft.


① Establishing a public security management system and patrol teams

Each community committee has set up a 5-7-person voluntary patrol team in accordance with its own conditions. The team conducts irregular inspections in areas where multiple security cases occur. The security patrol team under the police station has a total of 50 members. This patrol team is divided into foot-patrol group, plainclothes group and car-patrol group to support the police station’s public security work. Up to now, the team has assisted the police in carrying out more than 900 tasks. A total of more than 40 suspects of various crimes have been arrested, more than 20 fights have been stopped, more than 20 disputes have been resolved, and more than 200 times of service have been provided to the general public.

The project team has tried to lay smart mattresses on the six elderly people’s beds. This mattress can detect the quality of sleep and heart rate of the elderly. At the same time, it can also set the time limit for the elderly to leave the bed. In the evening, when the old man gets out of bed and reaches a certain time limit, the alarm will be automatically triggered. Once the abnormality of the heart rate and blood pressure of the elderly is detected, an alarm will be triggered, so that the nursing home can fully understand the their situation. Moreover, when the elderly have an accident, the medical staff can also provide medical assistance to them in time.
