Project Overview

Current Situation：

With the large-scale construction and undertaking of non-capital functions advancing simultaneously in Xiongan New Area, a large number of resettled residents, enterprises and migrant construction workers have gathered. Public attention to local ecological security keeps rising. There is an urgent need to translate highly professional environmental monitoring results into accessible popular science carriers, so as to give play to the public service function of the monitoring base.

Cause Analysis：

First, the core environmental monitoring business and public ecological popular science were carried out separately in the past, and high-quality resources were not open to and shared with the public.

Second, there is a shortage of exclusive offline popular science venues, lacking a long-term exhibition platform for relocated groups.

Third, the popular science content lacks pertinence, and professional monitoring jargon creates high barriers to public understanding.

Fourth, channels for public participation are limited, and a sustainable mechanism for public supervision over environmental governance has not been established.

Improvement Objectives：

Based on the core responsibilities of the Center, since 2021, we have fully revitalized existing resources including automatic monitoring stations, standardized laboratories and smart monitoring big data platforms, and built a standardized and regular ecological environment popular science service platform, namely the Xiongan New Area Ecological Environment Sharing Center. By introducing innovative technologies such as VR digital experience, a targeted popular science content system for different groups and scenarios will be established, together with a regular public opening mechanism, guiding the public to actively participate in the co-governance of ecological environment in Xiongan New Area.

项目背景

问题现状：随着雄安新区大规模建设与承接疏解同步推进，大量安置居民、企业和外来建设群众汇集，公众对本地生态安全关注度持续攀升，急需将高度专业的环境监测成果转化为通俗易懂的科普载体，以释放监测阵地的公共服务属性。

原因分析：一是环境监测核心业务与公众生态科普以往呈分线推进，优质资源未向社会开放共享。二是线下专属科普阵地供给不足，缺乏面向疏解群体的长效展示窗口。三是科普供给精准度欠缺，专业监测术语接受门槛高。四是公众参与渠道单一，未建立群众监督环境治理的稳定路径。

改进目标：立足中心主责主业，自2021年起，全面盘活自动监测站点、标准化实验室、智慧监测大数据平台等存量资源，建成标准化、常态化的生态环境科普服务窗口（即雄安新区生态环境共享中心）。通过引入VR数字化体验等创新技术，构建分群体、分场景的科普内容体系，建立稳定公众开放机制，引导群众主动参与新区生态环境共治。

Project Implementation

This project is implemented by Xiongan New Area Ecological Environment Monitoring Center as the primary developer. Centered on empowering the construction of the popular science platform relying on core monitoring business, the project promotes venue construction, popular science content development and regular public services in phases.

Restructure organizational mechanism and establish an integrated working team featuring "Monitoring + Popular Science". Led by the responsible leading official of Hebei Xiongan New Area Ecological Environment Bureau, the Center sets up a special working group to facilitate efficient collaboration among technicians engaged in monitoring, publicity and laboratory work. The monitoring department sorts out monitoring principles, indicators and real-time data; the laboratory displays instruments and practical operation procedures; the general publicity department transforms professional texts into popular science materials and organizes offline activities. This mechanism thoroughly addresses the pain points including the lack of full-time popular science staff and scattered resources.

2.Revitalize hardware resources and build a physical popular science exhibition platform. To solve the problem that the public cannot gain direct access to monitoring equipment, a dedicated popular science zone is arranged within Xiongan New Area Ecological Environment Monitoring Center, equipped with high-standard electronic screens for visualized monitoring data, physical exhibition areas for monitoring instruments and graphic display boards. Professionals are available on-site to explain testing procedures such as atmospheric PM2.5 and water quality COD. Professional equipment is turned into vivid teaching aids to make up for the deficiency of offline popular science venues.

3.Leverage innovative technologies to build a "zero-waste" green popular science scenario. To tackle the difficulty for non-professional visitors such as primary and secondary school students to participate in professional environmental monitoring experiments, the Center innovatively introduces digital technologies including VR (Virtual Reality) and develops an immersive virtual laboratory. Targeting key groups such as teenagers, VR devices are adopted to simulate practical testing procedures of water quality and soil. This innovation completely eliminates potential safety hazards when the public enters real chemical laboratories. Meanwhile, it avoids toxic and harmful waste liquid and consumable waste generated by traditional offline popular science experiments, greatly reducing depreciation loss of large precision instruments and power consumption, and realizing "zero waste" and "low energy consumption" throughout the whole popular science process.

4.Establish a long-term mechanism and streamline the local ecological environment popular science and exhibition process. The whole exhibition workflow is optimized, covering systematic themes including ecological evolution and governance projects of Baiyangdian Lake, biodiversity restoration, cutting-edge monitoring operations (automatic monitoring and digital experiments), and Party building work under ecological background. Through systematic content restructuring, localized expression is greatly improved, forming a new shared ecological environment popular science system with distinctive Xiongan characteristics that fully meets public demands.

项目实施

本项目由雄安新区生态环境监控中心作为主要建设单位实施，围绕监测主业赋能科普窗口建设主线，分阶段推进阵地搭建、科普内容开发及常态化公众服务落地。

1. 重塑组织机制，构建“监测+科普”一体化专班。中心由新区生态环境局业务分管领导牵头成立专项工作小组，统筹监测、宣传与实验室技术人员高效协同。监测部门负责梳理各项监测原理、指标与实时数据；实验室负责展示仪器设备与实操流程；综合宣传部门负责科普文案转化与线下活动组织，彻底解决科普无专职队伍、资源分散的痛点。

2. 盘活硬件资源，打造实体科普展示窗口。针对群众无法直观接触监测设备的痛点，在新区生态环境监控中心划定科普专属区域，高标准布设可视化监测数据电子屏、监测仪器实物展区及图文展板。开放专业人员现场讲解空气PM2.5、水质COD等检测流程，将专业设备转化为生动教具，补齐线下阵地短板。

3. 依托创新技术，打造“零废弃”绿色科普场景。针对非专业的中小学生等人员无法直接参与专业环境监测实验的痛点，中心创新引入VR（虚拟现实）等数字化技术，开发了沉浸式虚拟实验室。面向青少年等重点群体，利用VR设备模拟真实水质、土壤检测实操流程。这一创新不仅彻底消除了公众进入真实化学实验室的安全风险，还完全避免了传统线下科普实验产生的有毒有害废液和耗材废弃物，大幅节约了大型精密仪器的折旧损耗与电力消耗，实现了科普全过程的“零废弃”与“低能耗”。

4. 建立长效机制，打通本地化生态环境科普展示流程。全链路优化科普展示流程，精心打磨涵盖白洋淀生态变迁与治理工程、生物多样性恢复、前沿监测实操（自动化监测与数字化实验）以及生态背景下党建工作等全流程内容。通过系统化的内容重构，全面提升了本地化表达，成功构建起契合新区特色、高度满足公众需求的生态环境共享科普新体系。
