Study On Urban Public Health In Chengdu During The Republic Of China

Public health refers to public utilities related to the life and health of people in a country or region.It is usually organized by the government and formulated relevant management systems for the purpose of preventing diseases and ensuring public health.The study of modern public health in cities is an important part of the study of urban history,which has gone through a long period of exploration and research.The initial public health research mainly focused on medical and health.Later,with the continuous cross-cutting of various disciplines and in-depth research,the research field of public health was gradually expanded and penetrated into all aspects of people's daily life.The problem of municipal solid waste disposal is one of them,but there are still some shortcomings in academic circles.Municipal garbage accumulation,so that no one cleans or improper cleaning,will not only occupy land,seriously affect the appearance of the city,but also pose a great threat to people's health.Reasonable municipal refuse treatment should include complete and reasonable organization,management system,division of labor,personnel training,reward and punishment system,source of funds,various waste treatment equipment,etc.Therefore,its governance level is directly linked to the degree of modernization of the city.Therefore,in the period of the Republic of China,the garbage disposal problems of the relevant departments in Chengdu were mostly carried out from these aspects.We should not only fully investigate the local streets and population at that time,but also formulate a series of feasible clean laws and regulations.But in the past forty or fifty years,the development of health management in Chengdu was not smooth.During this period,the health management institutions were changed several times,and the public health office in Chengdu established in the 1930 s was once abolished.After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War,under the pressure of huge population growth and urban management,the public health work in Chengdu was finally managed by Sichuan Health Department,Chengdu Municipal Government and Chengdu Public Health Office.In addition to further improving the previous health regulations,they also adopted various practical measures to strengthen the management of environmental health.Such as public health propaganda,implementation of staff rewards and punishments,organizing citizens to clean up,setting up garbage cans and dumps,formulating reasonable waste disposal programs,etc.These measures and systems have improved the health condition of Chengdu to a certain extent,and provided tremendous rear support and guarantee for the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan.But the government's policy seldom involves the interests of cleaners,who live in distress and low status,not only do they not feel the protection of personality,but also do not have any benefits to enjoy.Cleaning up garbage for cleaners,more than just a livelihood,there is no modern public health awareness and responsibility.Therefore,they often breed negative and rebellious feelings,and the government departments "fight wit and courage",which brought a lot of trouble to the garbage disposal work at that time.Generally speaking,the development of public health is the inevitable result of urbanization,and also a higher level of urbanization,which reflects the progress of regional civilization.Although there were some deficiencies in the garbage disposal work in Chengdu during the Republic of China,on the whole,the public health situation in Chengdu had been significantly improved,and the results laid a good foundation for the further construction of urban public health.
