國家住建部正式設立城市管理監督局

The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development recently issued a notice confirming the setting up of an affiliated Urban Management Supervision Bureau to guide and supervise urban patrol officers, or chengguan, across the country.

國家住建部近日印發通知，明確將設置"城市管理監督局"作爲其下屬機構，並由該局負責指導和監督全國城管。

The newly established Urban Management Supervision Bureau showcases the central government's determination to streamline urban management nationwide.

新成立的"城管局"顯示出中央政府提高全國城市管理工作效率的決心。

Four regions including Shanghai and Jiangsu have set up their own urban management offices.

目前，包括上海和江蘇在內的4個地區已設立了本地的城市管理處。

The establishment of such a bureau has long been called for.

設置這樣一個部門是長期以來公衆一直呼籲的。

Urban management authorities at all levels are often assigned tasks that are supposed to be taken care of by other departments, such as the environmental protection bureaus and police. And their routine enforcement activities have faced numerous questions even challenges.

各級城市管理部門經常會被分配給一些本應屬於其他部門所負責的任務，比如環境保護局和警察局。而城管部門的日常執法活動也面臨着許多問題，甚至是挑戰。

Among all, hiring a great number of urban patrol officers on temporary contracts is widely seen as the most disputable move, as it has resulted in serious clashes with unlicensed street vendors.

在所有問題當中，僱傭大量臨時的城市巡邏人員被普遍視爲最有爭議的舉動，因爲這一舉措導致了與無照街頭小販之間的嚴重衝突。

The temporarily hired and untrained officers are from time to time accused of using excessive force when enforcing the law. This will now come to an end as urban management enforcers will now be under stricter supervision.

這些臨時僱用、未經培訓的人員有時在執法時會被指責濫用武力。不過這一情況將隨着城市管理執法人員經受更嚴格的監督而結束。
