Jiancun [2009] No. 84

Relevant provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government’s Housing and Urban-Rural Development Departments (Construction Committees) and Development and Reform Commissions , Department of Finance (Bureau), Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Construction Bureau, Development and Reform Commission, Finance Bureau:

In order to implement the requirements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on accelerating the renovation of dilapidated rural buildings and expanding pilot projects, we must do a good job To expand the pilot work on the renovation of dilapidated rural buildings, the following guidance is proposed.

1. Clarify the guiding ideology, goals, tasks and basic principles

(1) Guiding ideology. In-depth implementation of the Scientific Outlook on Development, in accordance with the overall requirements of the central government to protect people's livelihood, growth, and stability, and with the goal of solving the basic housing safety problems of rural people in need, carry out pilot projects for the renovation of dilapidated rural buildings, improve the living conditions of rural people in need, and promote basic living security in rural areas. Construction of housing safety guarantee system.

(2) Target tasks. The task of expanding the rural dilapidated house renovation pilot in 2009 is to complete the renovation of approximately 800,000 rural poor households in land border counties, counties in ethnic autonomous regions in the western region, key counties for national poverty alleviation and development, all counties in Guizhou Province, and front-line border farms of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. Renovation of dilapidated buildings. Among them, 15,000 farmers in the three northern regions of Northeast, Northwest and North China are conducting building energy-saving demonstrations in combination with the renovation of dilapidated rural buildings. On the basis of expanding the pilot this year, we will sum up experience, improve the system, and formulate medium and long-term plans to gradually solve the problem of dilapidated housing for rural poor households.

(3) Basic principles. To carry out the renovation of dilapidated rural houses, we must adapt to local conditions, act according to our capabilities, and scientifically and rationally prepare plans and annual plans for the renovation of dilapidated rural houses based on the local economic and social development level; we must highlight key points, practice strict economy, and help poor households in dilapidated houses to renovate and build the most basic safe, economical , suitable, energy-saving, land-saving and hygienic farm houses, and prevent large-scale demolition, large-scale construction and image projects; we must adhere to farmers' autonomy and voluntariness, government guidance and support, implement local responsibilities, and appropriate subsidies from the central government; we must integrate resources, plan first, and strengthen Relevant policies that benefit and support agriculture must be connected; procedures must be standardized, management must be strict, and openness, fairness, and impartiality must be adhered to.

2. Strengthen planning preparation and fund raising

(4) Preparation of plans. All localities should organize professionals to carry out investigations of rural dangerous houses in accordance with the "Technical Guidelines for the Identification of Dangerous Houses in Rural Areas (Trial)". Provincial-level housing and urban-rural construction, development and reform, finance and other departments must, in accordance with the requirements of this guidance and relevant documents, organize the preparation of rural dilapidated house renovation plans and implementation plans, break down the renovation tasks to cities, counties, and townships, and report them to Housing and Urban-Rural Development The Ministry of Construction, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Finance have registered.

(5) Fund raising. Funds for the renovation of dilapidated rural buildings are mainly raised by farmers themselves, supplemented by subsidies from the central and local governments, and raised through multiple channels such as bank credit and social donations. Local finance at all levels should incorporate funds for the renovation of dilapidated rural buildings into annual budget plans, adjust the expenditure structure, and increase the funds required to expand pilot projects for the renovation of dilapidated rural buildings. Each pilot county must integrate resources and make overall plans to organically connect earthquake-resistant housing, nomadic settlement, restoration and reconstruction of farmhouses damaged by natural disasters, renovation of dilapidated houses for poor people with disabilities, and poverty alleviation housing with the renovation of dilapidated rural houses to improve policy effects and fund use efficiency. . It is necessary to encourage and guide social forces to provide donations and funding for the renovation of dilapidated rural buildings. It is necessary to promote financial institutions to provide rural households with loans for the renovation of dilapidated houses by formulating policies and measures such as interest discounts and guarantees. In 2009, the central government will arrange 4 billion yuan in subsidy funds, which will be allocated based on factors such as the number of rural households in the pilot areas, the number of dilapidated rural houses, and regional differences in financial resources. The funds will be jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.

3. Reasonably determine subsidy standards and subsidy objects

(6) Subsidy standards. All localities should reasonably determine subsidy standards based on the actual level of local rural economic and social development and financial resources, and with reference to the rural dilapidated housing renovation methods, cost needs and self-financing capabilities of subsidy recipients. The central subsidy standard is an average of 5,000 yuan per household. On this basis, an additional subsidy of 2,000 yuan will be added to each household in the pilot areas of the Northeast, Northwest and North China to renovate rural dilapidated buildings to energy-saving buildings. On the premise of ensuring the completion of the transformation tasks, various localities can determine the classification subsidy standards for different regions and types based on different situations such as renovation, new construction, repair and reinforcement.

(7) Subsidy objects. The expansion of pilot subsidies for rural dilapidated housing renovation will focus on scattered five-guarantee households, subsistence allowance households and other poor rural households living in dilapidated buildings. A dilapidated house refers to a house that is identified as an entire dangerous house (Grade D) or partially dangerous (Grade C) according to the "Technical Guidelines for Identification of Dangerous Houses in Rural Areas (Trial)".

(8) Review procedures. In accordance with the principles of openness, fairness and impartiality, the review and approval procedures for subsidy objects and subsidy standards are standardized, and voluntary application by farmers, democratic evaluation by villagers' meetings or village representative meetings, review by townships (towns), and county-level approval are implemented. Establish and improve a public disclosure system. Basic information about subsidy recipients and the results of each review process must be publicized in the village affairs disclosure column. County-level governments must organize the signing of contracts or agreements with approved farmers who have renovated dilapidated houses.

4. Implement the basic requirements for the renovation and construction of dilapidated rural buildings

(9) Renovation methods.

The dilapidated houses in rural areas planned to be renovated should be demolished and rebuilt if they are whole dilapidated houses (Grade D), and those that are partially dangerous (Grade C) should be repaired and reinforced. In principle, the reconstruction of houses should be built by farmers themselves. If farmers have difficulties in self-construction and are willing to build the houses, the local government should play an organizational and coordinating role to help farmers choose qualified construction teams to build the houses. Decentralized household renovation should be the main focus. Villages where the renovation of dilapidated buildings is relatively concentrated and meets certain conditions can implement integrated promotion of village planning, renovation of dilapidated buildings, and supporting infrastructure, and improve the entire village.

(10) Construction standards. The renovation of dilapidated rural buildings must control the building area and total cost while meeting the most basic living functions and safety. For extremely poor households whose reconstruction funds are mostly subsidized by the government, the building area of ??renovated and newly built houses should in principle be controlled below 40 square meters, and for other poor households, the building area should be controlled below 60 square meters. The building area can be appropriately adjusted according to the size of the family population. The design and construction of rural houses must conform to farmers' production and living habits, reflect national and local architectural styles, inherit and improve traditional construction methods, and promote technological progress in rural house construction.

(11) Village planning. To renovate villages with a large number of households, it is necessary to prepare village plans, coordinate and integrate construction projects such as roads, water supply, biogas, environmental protection, poverty alleviation and development, toilet renovation, etc., to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of project construction, and to promote the ecological environment of the village's human settlements through the renovation of dilapidated buildings. improve. The reconstruction of dilapidated buildings in rural areas along the land border is mainly based on renovation at the original site. If it is really necessary to build new buildings at different sites, they should be close to the border and not moved back.

(12) Building energy conservation. The energy-saving demonstration of rural housing buildings in the Northeast, Northwest and North China regions is an important part of the pilot program for the renovation of dilapidated buildings, and the key points should be combined and promoted simultaneously. Each pilot county must arrange at least one relatively concentrated demonstration site (village), and qualified counties must arrange one demonstration site (village) in each township. All localities should use local materials and applicable technologies as much as possible, research and develop energy-saving house design and construction methods that are in line with rural realities, optimize heating methods, and promote the use of renewable energy. For enterprises that develop and produce energy-saving materials for rural building buildings and have good social, economic, and environmental benefits, they must implement the current preferential policies such as taxation, financing, and interest discounts. It is necessary to organize rural construction craftsmen and farmers to learn energy-saving technologies and construction management, and do a good job in publicity and promotion.

5. Standardize project management

(13) Fund management. Funds for expanding pilot projects for the renovation of dilapidated rural buildings must be earmarked for special purposes, accounted for separately, and used strictly in accordance with the provisions of the relevant fund management system. Internal control systems must be improved, prescribed standards must be implemented, and interception, expropriation, and misappropriation are strictly prohibited. It is necessary to conduct regular supervision and inspection on the management and use of funds, identify problems, correct them in a timely manner and deal with them seriously. Serious problems must be publicly exposed and the relevant responsible persons held accountable. Those suspected of committing crimes must be handed over to judicial authorities for handling.

(14) Technical services. Local housing and urban-rural development departments should organize technical personnel to go deep into rural areas to understand the situation, compile safe, economical, and applicable farm house design atlases and construction plans, and distribute them to farmers free of charge for reference. It is necessary to organize technical forces to carry out quality and safety inspections, guidance and supervision on the renovation and construction sites of dilapidated buildings. It is necessary to organize and coordinate the production, procurement and transportation of major building materials, and provide free building material quality testing services to farmers. County-level housing and urban-rural development departments should open dilapidated house renovation consultation windows to provide farmers with dilapidated house renovation technical services and project dispute mediation services. Improve township construction management institutions. Strengthen the training and management of rural construction craftsmen. The housing and urban-rural development departments of various regions must organize acceptance inspections based on actual conditions.

(15) Archives and property rights registration. The renovation of dilapidated houses in rural areas must be conducted on a per-household basis and under standardized management. Farmers' applications for renovation of dilapidated houses, government subsidy approval forms, housing information before and after renovation, etc. must be sorted and archived. Areas where conditions permit must promote the informatization construction of rural dilapidated housing renovations and continuously improve the level of standardized, institutionalized, and scientific management. After the renovation, the property rights of the farmers' houses will belong to the farmers, and the property rights will be registered according to the actual situation.

(16) Information report. Provincial housing and urban-rural development departments must work with provincial development and reform and financial departments to submit the renovation plan, renovation progress, completion status, and funding arrangements in early July this year, and submit an annual summary report to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the National Development and Reform Commission in early January next year. Committee and Ministry of Finance. All localities should organize and compile information on the renovation of dilapidated rural buildings, and submit the construction results, existing problems and relevant suggestions to the three ministries and commissions regularly or irregularly in the form of briefings, notifications, etc.

(17) Supervision and inspection. After the annual plan is completed, the provincial housing and urban-rural development department must promptly take the lead in organizing an inspection of the project implementation, and submit an inspection report within one month to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance for filing. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance will organize random inspections.

6. Strengthen organizational leadership and departmental collaboration

(18) Implement local responsibilities. Expand the pilot work on the renovation of dilapidated rural buildings, implement a local government responsibility system, and implement management according to territorial jurisdiction. The renovation project implements the "five-province approach" of planning, tasks, funds, goals, and responsibilities, that is, the project construction plan is distributed to the province, the tasks are implemented to the province, the funds are allocated to the province, and the goals and responsibilities are clearly defined to the province. Local governments are responsible for formulating renovation plans, organizing project implementation, implementing local investment, supervising project quality, integrating and utilizing resources from all parties, and rationally arranging staff and work funds.

(19) Departmental collaboration.

The expansion of pilot projects for the renovation of dilapidated rural buildings involves a wide range of areas, has strong policy implications, and requires a heavy workload. Local governments at all levels must strengthen leadership and establish coordination work leading groups led by government leaders and with participation from various functional departments, with a clear division of labor and close cooperation. The housing and urban-rural development, development and reform, and finance departments of various localities must, under the leadership of the local government, work together with relevant departments such as civil affairs, ethnic affairs, environmental protection, transportation, water conservancy, agriculture, health, poverty alleviation, Disabled Persons' Federation, land and resources, supervision, and auditing. Functional role, jointly promote the pilot project of renovation of dilapidated rural buildings.
