In recent years, Shidian County has developed and utilized idle land resources through the "Urban and Rural Construction Land Increase and Decrease Linkage Project", revitalized the stock of abandoned industrial and mining land, turned abandoned mine land resources into "treasure", and recultivated cultivated land, forest land and grassland, so that abandoned industrial and mining land "spring again".
The project of linking the increase and decrease of urban and rural construction land, that is, the increase of urban construction land and the decrease of rural construction land, refers to the construction of a new and demolished demonstration area according to the overall land use plan, which is to form a new and demolished demonstration area by combining a number of rural construction land plots (i.e., demolition plots) and plots intended for urban construction (i.e., new plots) to be used for urban construction. The goal of saving and intensive use of construction land and making the layout of urban and rural land more reasonable.
Since 2024, Shidian County has organized and implemented 5 projects linked to the increase and decrease of urban and rural construction land after comprehensively sorting out the abandoned mines, with a planting completion rate of 87.07% in the reclamation area, and the 5 projects linked to the increase and decrease of urban and rural construction land are expected to complete the field construction by the end of July, and the acceptance of the project will be accelerated in August. After the completion of the project, it is expected to generate economic benefits of about 317 million yuan, which will contribute to the revitalization and development of Shidian countryside.
With the implementation of the project, the "scars" of the former mines in Shidian County are slowly healing, and will gradually realize the "green and gold".
"The abandoned mine has been abandoned for many years, and the devastation has not only affected the image of the village but also wasted land resources, after the implementation of the increase and decrease linked project, the abandoned mine in the past is gradually becoming fertile soil, which is indeed a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and the corn planted on the cultivated land that has been restored has grown green in the past, which makes us sincerely happy." A Lixin, a villager in Hazhai Village, Mulaoyuan Township, said.
