How to realize safe living in the renovation of dilapidated houses in rural areas

"do not worry about food and clothing, education, health care government pocket, the guarantee difficulty is safe housing." One of the major difficulties in getting rid of poverty is housing: some remote mountain areas have poor living conditions, but a small number of people are unwilling to move; they want to build big houses even if they have no money, and they would rather owe a lot of debt.

Should the renovation of dilapidated houses in rural areas respect the wishes of the masses or consider the long term? The reporter recently conducted a relevant survey in Huize County, Qujing City, Yunnan Province.

Move or not?

Led by the government to guide the masses to move to livable places

More than a dozen households, a mountain, the living environment is bad, "one side of soil and water can not support the other", the poverty of many farmers in Yunnan is directly related to the living environment. In spite of this, there are still a small number of people who are reluctant to move. "I also know that the transportation below is convenient, the children go to school and the elderly have good conditions to see a doctor, but I was born here, my land is here, and I won't move!"

Xiao Shuyao, deputy secretary of Zhihai Town in Huize County, told reporters that some village groups were so remote that the money for road construction could move the whole village down in places with convenient transportation. The construction cost of water circuits and other public facilities is high. If the poor people in remote mountain areas are still scattered, it will be difficult to fundamentally solve the problems of children going to school and people seeking medical treatment.

"under the leadership of the government, we should try our best to guide the masses to move to livable places." The practice of Huize County is to give priority to the relocation of several types of farmers threatened by natural disasters such as landslides and debris flows, poor transportation conditions, scattered housing, poor development conditions, and high investment in infrastructure construction. mobilize poor families to move to livable places.

"relocation in different places is subsidized, and those who stay in place will reinforce dilapidated houses and ensure housing safety." In the Hengduan Mountain area of northwest Yunnan Province, local policy differences are used to guide people to move to livable areas.

Repair the old or build the new?

Do not dismantle what can be reinforced to avoid blind comparison.

"built a big house to marry the bride." Wang Chunli, a villager of Wayao Village, Zhihai Town, told reporters that in rural areas, the sign of whether life is good or not is housing.

To ensure the safety of housing, we can not only repair and strengthen it, but also demolish the old and build the new. Maintenance and reinforcement saves money, but not all poor households are willing to strengthen their houses. "although it is safe after reinforcement, it is still an old house." The reporter found that there is a phenomenon of building houses in rural areas, especially in poor mountainous areas, and even a family of three farmers build three floors.

"the more the future, the better the policy, the more subsidies, and so on." In recent years, government subsidies for rural housing construction have been growing, which also makes a small number of farmers have a wait-and-see mentality.

Blind comparison will lead to a waste of resources. Government subsidies are mainly to ensure housing safety, housing is not the bigger the better, to meet the needs of life on the line. Liu Zuming, deputy secretary of the Huize County CPC Committee, said: "Housing subsidies only ensure the safety of basic housing, and those that can be repaired and strengthened will not be demolished and built; if the economic conditions are slightly better, they will provide some government subsidies to build new houses and improve housing conditions. In short, the masses should build houses according to their capacity, and it is better to apply safety without increasing the economic burden. "

Go back to your hometown or go to the city?

The policy is accurate and guide the masses to live together.

The reporter learned that some people go out with their families and even buy houses in other places, but they will still build new houses in their hometown and pass them on to future generations. However, few young people are willing to go back to the village. Some of the big houses built with years of savings are virtually uninhabited.

From the perspective of economic, social and demographic development trend, the date of completion of remote rural houses is the time of devaluation. Liu Zuming told the reporter: in order to guide villagers to live in centralized resettlement sites, Huize County gives subsidies of 50,000 to 80,000 yuan per household according to the degree of poverty and the poor population, while the subsidy for decentralized housing construction is far less than that of centralized resettlement. In order to guide the masses to buy new houses in the county seat, Huize County stipulates: "if you buy existing houses in the county seat, demolish old houses in rural areas, and do not trade within ten years, a subsidy of 60,000 yuan meets these three conditions."

Liang Zhiqiang, secretary of the Huize County CPC Committee, believes that changing the concept of public housing not only needs the guidance of government policies, but also cannot be separated from scientific village construction planning. Huize County, due to household conditions, strict subsidy procedures, limited subsidy standards, focusing on helping the most dangerous and economically poor farmers to solve the most basic safe housing, and strive to spend money on the knife edge.
