IsiXeko saseNew York sithatha indlela enzima yokunciphisa inani leempuku esixekweni.Imifanekiso kaGetty / Kaitlyn Flannagan yoMqwalaseli Kwiinyanga emva koSodolophu uBill de Blasio watyhila iqhinga elibanzi lokubulala iigundane zeSixeko saseNew York kanye apho baziva bekhululekile khona, isixeko sesibini esinamabala kweli lizwe kujonge ukuthatha indlela enobundlongondlongo yokutshabalalisa izitshabalalisi ezikhohlakeleyo kube kanye.
NgoJulayi 2017, de Blasio kwaziswa Initiative Rat Reduction Initiative, i-32 yezigidi zeedola, icebo le-arhente ezininzi zokunciphisa inani labemi besixeko ngeepesenti ezingama-70 kwezona ndawo zixhaphakileyo- iGrand Concourse, iChinatown / East Village / Lower East Side neBushwick / Bedford-Stuyvesant- ngokunciphisa ukutya imithombo kunye neendawo zokuhlala. Iindlela zibandakanya ukumisa isamente kumgangatho ongaphantsi wezindlu zikawonke-wonke, ukuthenga izikhongozeli zenkunkuma ezingcono kunye nokwanda kwenkunkuma kunye nokunyanzeliswa kolwaphulo-mthetho olunxulumene nempuku.
Kule veki, iSebe lezeMpilo kunye neNgqondo yesiXeko (i-DOHMH) liqalise ukutshabalalisa iqhwa elomileyo kwiipaki ukuthintela ityhefu yesibini kookhetshe kunye nezilwanyana zasendle -indlela i-Arhente yoKhuselo lokusiNgqongileyo (i-EPA) evume ukuba isetyenziswe njengesibulali zinambuzane. Ngo-2016, i-DOHMH yaqalisa iprojekthi yokulinga umkhenkce eyomileyo eColumbus, eTompkins Square naseSeward parks eManhattan apho imingxunya yeerat esebenzayo yehla ukusuka kuma-60 ukuya kwangama-36, ama-368 ukuya kuma-20, kwaza kwangama-13 ukuya kwangoku-2, ngokwahlukeneyo.
Kwaye ngo-2014, i-DOHMH yalinganisa inkqubo yeRat Reservoir kwiindawo ezintandathu ezinokuxinana okuphezulu kweempuku eManhattan naseBronx. Inkqubo ijolise kwiikoloni zerat kunye neemeko ezithandekayo kwiigundane ezivela ezindleleni, ekubambeni izitya, kwimingxunya yemithi nakwiipaki nakwizakhiwo. Kunyaka kamva, inkqubo yandiswa yaya kwiindawo ezingama-45.
Kwisithuba nje esingaphezulu kweminyaka emibini, i-10 kuma-Rat Reservoirs angama-45- ngaphezulu kwama-20 epesenti-asungulwe ngonyaka ka-2015 aphumelele, ngokuka-Corinne Schiff, usekela-komishinala we-DOHMH wezempilo kwezendalo. Isixeko siphumelele ngeepesenti ezingama-80 zokuncitshiswa kweempawu zeempuku kunye neemeko ezifanelekileyo kwiigundane kwiipaki ezili-15 ngaphakathi kwamachibi eempuku.
Kwintlanganiso yeBhunga lesiXeko ngoLwesibini kusasa, iBhunga latyhila ipakethe yeebhili ezisibhozo ezifuna ukulwa nengxaki yeempuku.
Siqinisekile ukuba le nzame ibanzi yokujongana nabamelwane abasindwa ngumsebenzi weempuku eziphezulu izakufezekisa ukuphuculwa kwexesha elide, utshilo uSchiff. Kodwa singaphumelela kuphela ukuba wonke umntu usebenza kunye. Uluhlu lwemithetho ezakwaziswa iya kuthi ixhase iinxalenye ezingundoqo zenkqubo kwaye ingundoqo kwimpumelelo yayo.
Umthetho oyilwayo, owaziswa nguManhattan Councilwoman uMargaret Chin, ungavumela i-DOHMH ukuba ichonge iindawo zokunciphisa iirati kwaye igunyazise ukuba isakhiwo esineendawo zokuhlala ezisithoba okanye nangaphezulu zibeke inkunkuma ukuze ziqokelelwe phakathi kwe-4 kusasa kunye ne-6 kusasa. kumaziko enkonzo yokutya xa ulwelo lushiye ngasemva emva kokuqokelelwa kwenkunkuma.
Yonke ingxowa yenkunkuma igcwele ukutya, kwaye ikhona nje iiyure ezili-10 okanye nangaphezulu yonke imihla, utshilo. Yiyo loo nto sizama ukwenza lo mqhubi wenqwelomoya, ukubona ukuba singayilinganisela ekuseni na ukuze inkunkuma ihlale apho mhlawumbi iiyure ezimbini ngaphambi kokuba ithathwe.
Igqwetha likaRhulumente u-Letitia James wazise umthetho ofuna ukuthotywa kweempuku- imigibe kunye nezithiyelo-zenzeke ngaphambi kokuba kunikezelwe imvume yokwakha.
Uye waphawula ukuba ukusukela ekuqaleni konyaka ophelileyo, amakhaya angama-354,360 kunye namashishini asileleyo kuvavanywa iirati kwaye ezongezelelweyo ezingama-22,493 zabonisa iimeko ezinobungozi ekubeni semngciphekweni wokuhlaselwa ziimpuku. Ubonge isixeko ngokugunyazisa ukuba kutshatyalaliswe iireyithi ngaphambi kokuba kunikezelwe imvume yokudiliza.
Ngokwenza njalo, siza kuqinisekisa ukuba abahlali bahlala bekhuselekile kwaye besempilweni ngokuqinisekisa ukuba uninzi lweempuku luyasuswa, endaweni yokunikwa ithuba lokufudukela okanye ukwandisa, utshilo. Sinako kwaye kufuneka siqhubeke nokutyala imali kwikamva lesixeko sethu ngokwandisa imigaqo-nkqubo esele ikho kunye nokwenza imigaqo emitsha yokunciphisa kakhulu inani leempuku.
Uye walatha nakwimpembelelo yengqondo yabantu abalekela iigundane kubomi babo bemihla ngemihla, kunye nomngcipheko kwimpilo yoluntu, ebhekisa kuqhambuko lwamva nje lwe-leptospirosis, isifo esinqabileyo nesibulalayo esinokubotshwa ngqo kwiigundane.
Xa uJames wabuza uMkomishinala woGutyulo uKathryn Garcia ukuba ngaba lukhona na uhlobo lolawulo lokuzalwa kweempuku, wathi enye inkampani ikhuthaza ukuzalwa okunjalo kodwa akukho datha ininzi ebonisa ukuba iyasebenza ngoku.
Eminye imithetho eyilwayo ifuna i-DOHMH ukuba ingenise ingxelo yonyaka ngenkqubela-phambili yokuncitshiswa kwempuku kwimimandla yokuthomalalisa iirati kwaye ifuna ukusekwa kweenkonzo zokutya, abavelisi kunye nabathengisi abathengisayo ukuba bohlule baphinde basebenzise inkunkuma ephilayo. Omnye umthetho oyintlawulo unyusa isohlwayo kubantu abaphindayo abophula umthetho wenkunkuma yesixeko.
Iigundane ziye zangena esixekweni ukusukela ngeminyaka yoo-1700 kwaye banegalelo kubume be-Big Apple njenge isixeko esingcolileyo esizweni.
Akucaci ukuba zingaphi iigundane ezihlala kwisiXeko saseNew York. Uqikelelo lwangaphambili babeke inani leempuku naphina ukusuka kuma-250,000 ukuya kumashumi ezigidi, kunye uqikelelo lwamva nje ukuyibeka kwizigidi ezibini. Kukho abantu abazizigidi eziyi-8.5 abahlala kwisiXeko saseNew York.
Kwaye kubonakala ngathi kukho umahluko phakathi kweedolophu zeNew York City.
Ngo-Novemba ngo-2017, umfundi ophumelele isidanga kwiYunivesithi yaseFordham kunye noogxa bakhe wafunda I-DNA yeempuku eManhattan kwaye yafumanisa ukuba iigundane ezihlala phezulu-kumantla e-59th Street-kunye nasezidolophini-emazantsi e-14th Street-zahlukile ngokwemfuza kwaye zahlulwe nguMidtown. Ngelixa iMidtown ineempuku, ayinayo imali yenkunkuma yasekhaya kunye neeyadi ezingasemva ezikhethwa ziigundane, bazifumene.
USchiff uthe isixeko sibe nempumelelo ekupheliseni inani leempuku kumachibi eempuku.
Sijonge ezo mpawu zeempuku kwaye sibukele ukwehla, kwaye sibona impumelelo yokwenyani, utshilo.
Isixeko sinefayile ye- Rat Portal yoLwazi, usetyenziso lweemaphu olusekwe kwiwebhu apho umsebenzisi anokujonga khona idatha yokuhlolwa kweerati ngedilesi okanye nge-borough, ibhloko kunye neqashiso. Kwi-2017, i-DOHMH igqibe ukuhlolwa okungama-24,602 kwimimandla yokunciphisa iirati kwaye yafumana iipropathi ezingama-3,771- iipesenti ezili-15.3-ezazinempawu ezithile zomsebenzi weempuku. Isebe lifuna ukwehlisa amaxabiso okusilela aye ngaphantsi kweepesenti ezine ekupheleni kuka-2018.
Njengenxalenye yenkqubo yesalathiso seempuku zesebe, abahloli bahamba bebhlokhi ukujonga yonke ipropathi ukuba ayinazimpawu zeempuku kunye neemeko ezifanelekileyo kwiigundane, kwaye bahlola iipropathi ukuphendula izikhalazo. Xa imiqondiso yeerati okanye imiqathango yeerat iqatshelwe, abanini bepropathi bafumana iiMiyalelo zoMkomishinala ezifuna ukuba zilungiswe okanye kungenjalo bajamelane nezohlwayo.
Kwangoko kulenyanga, iSebe leZococeko lesixeko (i-DSNY) lithathe indawo yeebhasikithi zenkunkuma ezivulekileyo ezisele zivulekile kwimida yokuthomalalisa iitoti ngeenkonkxa zentsimbi ezinganyangekiyo okanye ukuqinisa inkunkuma yelanga. I-DSNY ikwandise inkonzo yenkunkuma kunye nenkonzo yokuhlala kwiindawo ekujoliswe kuzo.
UGarcia uqaphele ukuba kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo, abasebenzi beDSNY babone ukwanda kweziganeko zokulahla ngokungekho semthethweni kuso sonke isixeko.
I-DSNY ikholelwa ekubeni ukonyusa isohlwayo solwaphulo-mthetho kunye noluntu olwenzelwe isenzo sokulahla ngokungekho semthethweni kuya kunceda ekuthinteleni lo msebenzi unganyanisekanga ngabantu abanqwenela ukunqanda ukuhlawulwa kweendleko ezifanelekileyo zokulahlwa kwezinto zabo ezingafunekiyo, utshilo.
Uye wathi iDSNY ikhuphe isamani kubantu abalahla inkunkuma yabo kwiibhasikithi zenkunkuma yoluntu. Kodwa ulwaphulo olo alunakukhutshwa ukuba umntu ulahla ngokungafanelekanga inkunkuma kwindawo ejikelezileyo okanye ecaleni kwebhasikithi yenkunkuma yoluntu.
Ukwandiswa kwengqikelelo enokuhlawulwa yokugubungela inkunkuma yasekhaya okanye yorhwebo ngokungafanelekanga ebekwe kwezinye iindawo zikawonke-wonke okanye zabucala kuya kunika i-DSNY esinye isixhobo esibalulekileyo sokulwa lo mbandela wobomi, uGarcia uqhubeke.
