Thinking on the Planning and Construction of Battalion Area in Military Academies (Note)

The reform of the new institutional structure has brought new opportunities and challenges to the construction and development of the PLA’s academies. How to seize the opportunities, better adapt to the new situation, fulfill the new mission, complete the new tasks and realize the new leap has become an important issue facing the PLA’s barracks planning and construction. Combining with the experience of the main camp planning and construction in colleges and universities, this paper will timely reflect on the key issues such as the mode of camp planning and construction in colleges and universities, which may be beneficial to our work. 1. First, to Accurately Grasp the Camp Planning and Construction Mode To fulfill the PLA’s new historical mission in the new stage in the new century, we must make good preparations for the military struggle against “Taiwan independence” and push forward the military reform with Chinese characteristics. At the same time, with the deepening of the institutional restructuring and the use of modern teaching means, the reconstruction and expansion of the barracks are imperative. How to solve the contradiction between the actual construction and development of the camp as soon as possible requires us to study and demonstrate seriously, and take different planning and construction modes according to different situations. Under the urban density, there are roughly three modes for the planning and construction of college barracks: overall relocation, construction of new parks and in-situ reconstruction and expansion. 1) Overall relocation: Due to the large enrollment scale of the school, the expansion and development of the original barracks area are seriously restricted, or due to the high decentralization of the original several barracks areas after the merger of colleges and universities, many contradictions are brought to the teaching and management. Only the overall relocation can solve the contradictions. www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/assc Advances in Social Science and Culture Vol. 2, No. 3, 2020 68 Published by SCHOLINK INC. 2) Construction of new park: In order to meet the needs of training tasks and realize the goals of large-scale education, modern teaching, standardized management and social security, the school requisitioned land for the construction of the new campus through land replacement. The construction of the new campus not only guarantees the need of new training tasks, but also creates a large space for the future development of the school and promotes the development and construction of new urban areas. Adopting the above two construction modes requires expropriation of a large area of land and raising a large amount of funds. It is very difficult to obtain approval after repeated demonstration. Moreover, the construction period from repeated demonstration, approval and approval to phased completion is very long. 3) In-situ reconstruction and expansion: For most colleges and universities, the original land can meet their construction and development needs through functions adjustment and socialization reform of logistics support, or there are urban land for colleges and universities in the surrounding areas, so the in-situ reconstruction and expansion mode should be preferred. This mode is more in line with the viewpoint of sustainable development, because it can force people to economize on land and explore various ways to develop effective land, so as to increase valuable school space and build environmentally conscious buildings. At the same time, this mode is conducive to exerting resource benefits and realizing resource sharing. 2. Second, We should Deal Scientifically with the Three Relations, That Is, the Relations between the New Construction Project and the Original Barracks, Development and Environmental Supporting Facilities The planning and construction of colleges and universities should carry out the scientific outlook on development, adhere to the task demand as traction, on the basis of camp planning, highlight the construction of teaching and scientific research guarantee conditions, pay attention to the construction of living guarantee conditions, strengthen the construction of infrastructure. We should pay attention to absorbing advanced experience and knowledge for our use. Efforts should be made to keep pace with the construction and renovation, lay equal emphasis on scale and efficiency, and further improve the school’s ability to guarantee education, so as to provide a solid foundation for personnel training and scientific research in schools. In the process of planning and construction, the following three aspects should be dealt with scientifically: 1) Properly handle the relationship between the new construction and the original barracks. Colleges and universities resources of existing building is formed after decades of construction and development, for the new development and construction laid a certain foundation, in the preparation of a new planning, attention should be paid to give full play to the role of the resources of existing building, inherit the historical features of the campus, following campus architectural context, and transform and new synchronization. www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/assc Advances in Social Science and Culture Vol. 2, No. 3, 2020 69 Published by SCHOLINK INC. 2) Properly handle the relationship between new projects and development. The most direct and important influencing factors are the education mode and the development of architecture. New construction projects should adhere to the comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable point of view, scientific layout and design, increase the flexibility and practicality of space use, pay attention to improve the public service space, create a space for communication, so as to facilitate interdisciplinary, resource sharing. 3) Properly handle the relationship between new projects and supporting environmental construction. The basic requirement of first-class university is to have first-class hardware environment, and “environment education” is the core goal of humanistic concept in the creation of campus environment. The whole process of project construction must start from the environment, pay attention to landscape, ecology, landscaping and other environmental construction and road, pipe network, sewage treatment and other supporting infrastructure construction, so as to ensure the synchronous construction of environmental supporting and new construction; The inherent characteristics of the base should be emphasized, not only the original green space, water surface and ecology should be kept as far as possible, but also the harmony and unity of humanistic environment and natural environment should be achieved to provide a harmonious and human development space for teachers and students. 3. Third, to Ensure the Quality of Planning, Design and Construction To speed up the construction of colleges and universities, to achieve leapfrog development, and create conditions of high standards, high level and campus environment, urgently need to be based on a high starting point planning, high level design, high-quality construction, outstanding educational condition and environment construction, vigorously promote the school overall strength and image, to build a training, scientific, and cultural atmosphere. 1) Ensure the quality of planning. Planning is the strategy of development, the program of construction and the basis of management. In the construction and management of camp areas, we should pay attention to and strengthen the scientificity and sustainability of the planning. First, make full investigation and research. The investigation includes the current situation, history, culture and other aspects of the camp. The focus of the investigation of the control planning is the status quo investigation, including the layout of barracks, road traffic, construction structures, quality of barracks, teaching equipment, environmental quality, auxiliary facilities and so on.Only when sufficient investigation is carried out can effective analysis and research be carried out so as to find out solutions and put them into the planning. Second, we must grasp the key issues. The establishment of the plan should have a clear guiding ideology and grasp the following key issues on the basis of the functional orientation of the camp: first, the training scale of the school; second, the large functional division; third, the road traffic network; fourth, the environment and ecology of the camp; fifth, the landscape and the setting of diversified open space. The scale of training mainly refers to the scale of camp land and the scale of trainees, www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/assc Advances in Social Science and Culture Vol. 2, No. 3, 2020 70 Published by SCHOLINK INC. which should meet the target of planned land use. Meanwhile, the particularity of the land used by military academies should also be taken into account. Functional partition is mainly the function of the teaching, life, activities such as band division to the scientific, reasonable and feasible, is advantageous to the macro control, its form should have a certain ability to adapt. The road traffic network is mainly the classification and network structure of campus roads, and its vehicle traffic system and walking system should be convenient and unobstructed, and directly connected with various campus resources, that is, “accessible”. Third, consult employees for extensive participation. The compilation of camp planning depends on the majority of staff, through the campus network and other channels to widely listen to the opinions of the masses, and pay attention to their feedback, seeking truth from facts, in order to facilitate the smooth implementation of camp planning. At the same time, through soliciting opinions and introducing the situation, so that the majority of staff to understand the planning, so that th
