Most of the public supports construction of the Project. They consider that construction of Nanjiang Binlu could promote economic development of Fuzhou City. Most of interviewees support national construction. Construction of the Project can make sight along the road become more beautiful, provide entertainment place for residents nearby, improve housing condition of residents, who lived in shacks in the past and make the value of land along the road added and communications more conveniently.
(2) Issues worried by the interviewees
1) Interviewees within the range of demolition have concerns upon following issues:
① Compensation after demolition; There are a lot of laid-off workers along the road. Parts of them are low-income group of the city. Their family financial background is bad and housing area is small. Most of interviewees worry about that they have not enough money to buy new hosing through compensation paid by the government and they couldn’t pay expense of real estate management.
② Living problem after demolition; Residents who own shops along the street keep their life through renting their shops and commercial operation, therefore they worry about that living difficulties would be met because they couldn’t buy new shops.
③ Problems in Fanchuanpu Church; In case Jiangbin Road locates 20 meters beyond the Church, heavy pressure of the road will cause weak ground base of the Church fallout because weighted unevenly, at the same time vibration brought about by passing vehicles will destroy main body of the Church violently. In case Nanjiang Binlu refers to the original frame, most area of the Church’s plaza and surrounding space will be taken. As a result, team in charge of keeping order of converses will feel very difficult to keep order, and serious hidden trouble will be caused.
2) Interviewees beyond the range of demolition have concerns upon following issues:
Households along the road worry about the increase of vehicle flow would bring about not only convenience but also environmental problems of noises and exhausts. Interviewees suggest that vehicles shall be controlled and oversize vehicles shall be prohibited on Nanjiang Binlu except public buses.
