Benefits of building a one-story house in the National Housing Movement / Ministry of Roads Use the capacity of the law to provide land


According to the economic correspondent of Fars News Agency, the Minister of Roads and Urban Development recently spoke on a TV program about the government’s plan to build one-story villa housing units in the framework of the National Housing Movement program.

Rostam Ghasemi, while emphasizing the construction of villa housing units in the National Housing Movement, stated: “ In cities where there is no land problem, we should not go to high-rise buildings and for example in Bam, because we did not have a land problem, we gave 200 meters of land to applicants. »

The emphasis of the Minister of Roads and Urban Development on not moving towards high-rise construction is an issue that is confirmed by the experience of mass housing production in recent years. For example, in the case of the Mehr housing project, which targeted the construction of 4 million housing units, with qualityMost Residential units were houses built as villas in new cities such as the new city of Amirkabir.

* Land restriction for housing construction is an illusion

When it comes to building a one-story house, the first issue raised is the issue of land restrictions. In other words, opponents of the construction of one-story residential units use the excuse of moving to increase the height of residential units as a matter of land restrictions.

At the same time, land restrictions in a country with the size and climate of Iran are basically meaningless, because the horizontal development of cities and villages, especially in sparsely populated areas, is easily available.

In general, many people, looking at the faces of metropolises and high-rise buildings located in these areas, think that there is no more land for construction, and that is basically why high-rise construction has reached its peak with significant densities. In order to be aware of the error of this issue, it is enough to look at other small cities in the country to find out how much of the barren land that can be built in the country has not been used.

Muhammad حمیدزادهIn an interview with Fars News Agency, a housing expert said: “The illusion of land restrictions was created due to the wrong policy of determining the urban space, and if we refer to government documents, we will see that a large amount of land in the same urban space is at the disposal of “There is a government.”

“There is a legal capacity to use government land to build housing in the law on the jump in production and housing supply, and the Ministry of Roads must make maximum use of this capacity,” the housing expert continued.

* The construction of one million houses requires 50,000 hectares of land

In this regard, the land required for mass production of housing in the above-mentioned way for the infrastructure of each residential unit, taking into account the requirements of architecture and urban planning is 50 meters per person, and considering the household dimension of 3.3 on average in the country, the infrastructure of each housing unit should be 165 meters to be considered.

According to the law, the permissible ratio of infrastructure to the total land of each resident should be considered 60%, so on this basis, each one-storey residential unit with an area commensurate with the household dimension in the country should be considered 275 meters of land.

According to calculations, the net land required to build one million housing units per year is 27,500 hectares.

The amount of the mentioned land is required for the construction of housing and the ratio of the area of ​​passages and public places in accordance with the urban planning criteria should be added to the amount of the provided land.

In this regard, with a minimal view, the ratio of the area of ​​residential units to the passages should be considered equal to 40 to 55 percent. In such circumstances, the National Housing Movement needs at least 50,000 hectares of land each year, aiming to build one million housing units.

According to reliable information, so far only 30% of the land needed to build one million housing units has been provided in the first year of the government, and the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development must increase the speed of land supply more than before.

* Reduce the cost of building housing for one-story units

Given the land needed to build one-story villa housing in the National Housing Movement, there are many benefits to the project, in addition to owning one million families.

Accordingly, the most important advantage created around this issue is the significant reduction of construction costs per square meter of residential units.

In this regard, Hamid Ahmadi, a civil engineering expert, pointed to the decline Cost “Housing construction in an interview with Fars News Agency says:” When you build a one-story apartment unit, costs such as elevators, stairs, and land to create communal areas are minimized, which reduces the cost of building a home.»

Accordingly, based on calculations Meters It is estimated that the cost of building a residential unit per square meter of an 18-storey residential unit is more than twice the cost of constructing one square meter of one-storey housing.

* How is the electricity and water of the villa housing provided?

The issue of reducing the price of housing is not the only advantage of one-story housing units, and organizing the issue of energy and water in the home sector in the form of one-story units is a simpler task.

In fact, a single-storey residential unit can provide the ground for the establishment of energy-producing units such as solar panels to generate electricity and hot water due to creating more family security and sufficient space, and if the government pays attention to this area, these units will be provided. Provides energy from the perspective.

In addition, rainwater collection units can be located in these residential units, which can provide significant savings in water consumption and provide the lifeblood needed for important non-drinking activities.

The mentioned benefits for villa housing units, along with creating a sense of calm for the families applying for the National Housing Movement, are a good justification for the government to use its legal capacity to provide enough land to build one million villa housing per year and move towards achieving the 13th government.
