The performance evaluation meeting for the 2020 "Comprehensive Demonstration of Disaster Prevention Technology in Southwest Ethnic Villages" was held in Anshun city, Guizhou province from March 11 to 12. It is a project of the "13th Five-Year Plan" National Key R&D Plan "Green and Livable Villages and Towns Technological Innovation" led by Sichuan University. The project is jointly undertaken by Sichuan University, Tsinghua University, Chongqing University, the Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Architecture Design and Research Group. Xiong Feng, a class II professor and dean of the College of Architecture and Environment, SCU, is the project leader. Nearly 90 people from the expert group, project team, and local leaders attended the meeting.
The expert group and project team visited the demonstration site of the project - Gaodang Millennium Buyi Village, Zhenning county, Anshun city On the 11th. As a joint research project undertaken by Tsinghua University, Sichuan University, Kunming University of Technology, and Anshun Architecture Design and Research Institute, the village showcases the technical research and development and engineering demonstration in terms of the layout and location of the village system, space optimization, ecological wetland restoration, and traditional residential renovation.
On the 12th, the expert group conducted comprehensive performance evaluations of the five topics of the project. Xiong Feng reported the overall situation of the project to the expert group. Subsequently, the project leader, Liu Jinfeng, a research fellow from the Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment of the CAS, Song Fei, an SCU professor, Liu Yifeng, a deputy chief engineer of China Architecture Design and Research Group, Chen Youpeng, a professor of Chongqing University, and Zhou Zhengxu, an associate professor of Tsinghua University, delivered a report on the research and development as well as implementation of the project via video presentation.
Focusing on the two main technical lines of safety and livability in ethnic villages, the expert group believed that the five topics of the project have either met or partially surpassed all assessment indicators, and the expected goals have been achieved. The experts affirmed the important achievements of the project, and unanimously agreed that the village passed the comprehensive performance evaluation.
This is the first project that SCU has undertaken under the national key research and development plan "Technical Innovation in Green and Livable Villages and Towns", with a research and development expenditure of nearly 100 million yuan and a cumulative investment of over 300 research and development personnel. Since the launch of the project in October 2020, the research team has overcome huge impact of the pandemic, and successfully completed technical research and development and engineering demonstration tasks, working out a series of innovative scientific and technological achievements. Enriching the basic theory and technological system in relevant fields, the research/project team has made contributions to the disaster prevention, safety, and livable development of ethnic villages in southwest China, achieving significant social and economic benefits by means of demonstration.
