Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 22 (Reporter Wang Youling) The guidance issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development and other five departments on the 22nd made it clear that we should strengthen the management of rural housing construction, strengthen the safety management of existing rural housing, and accelerate the improvement of the long-term safety management mechanism of new rural housing.
Recently, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development, the Ministry of Emergency Management, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the General Administration of Market Supervision jointly issued the Guiding Opinions on Strengthening the Management of Rural Housing Construction. The guidance is clear. By 2025, we will achieve closed-loop supervision of the whole process of rural housing quality and safety, effectively control the safety risks of rural housing, and generally improve the quality and safety of rural housing; By 2035, a comprehensive management system and technical standard system for rural housing construction will be established, and the quality of rural housing construction will be greatly improved.
The relevant person in charge of the Village and Town Construction Department of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development said that there are a large number of rural houses in China. For a long time, farmers have built, used and managed their own houses. With the economic and social development and the continuous improvement of farmers' living standards, the area of new rural houses is becoming larger and larger, the number of floors is getting higher and higher, and more and more rural houses are used for business. With the growth of housing age, a large number of existing rural houses gradually highlight the potential safety hazards.
The guidance is clear, strengthen the safety management of existing rural housing, regularly carry out the investigation and rectification of potential safety hazards of rural housing, adhere to the principle of "who owns who is responsible, who uses who is responsible", and clarify the main responsibilities of property owners and users for housing safety. Establish a regular inspection mechanism for rural housing safety, combine farmer self inspection, town and village inspection, county inspection, law enforcement inspection and mass supervision, and timely identify and take effective measures to eliminate potential safety hazards.
The guidance clearly stated that the management of rural housing used for business should be strictly enforced, and the rural housing used for business activities should meet the relevant safety requirements. The property owner and user should strictly implement the relevant provisions on the safety management of self built commercial housing, and ensure that the housing has the conditions for safe use before carrying out business activities. The reconstruction and expansion of rural houses shall be carried out, and relevant approval procedures such as land use, planning and construction shall be handled according to law. The design and construction shall be carried out in strict accordance with relevant engineering construction standards.
The guidance proposed that we should speed up and improve the long-term mechanism of safety management of new rural housing, and put the quality and safety supervision of rural housing through the whole process of rural housing construction. In accordance with the principle of "who approves, who supervises, who is in charge, who supervises", the administrative approval and safety supervision will be effectively linked. Reasonably arrange the land for rural housing construction, practically ensure the safety of rural housing site selection, strictly standardize the design and construction, and the design and construction of new rural housing should meet the requirements of the current national seismic fortification and other relevant quality and safety standards.
