Examining the performance of the Ministry of Roads in fulfilling the President’s housing promise for 6 months
According to Fars News Agency’s economic correspondent, the coming to power of the 13th government and the promise to build four million housing units in four years, revived the hope of people and construction-related businesses to get rid of the back-breaking recession of the past eight years.
The previous government, which started its first four years by stopping Mehr Housing as the largest development project after the revolution, in the second four years proposed the construction of 400,000 housing units as part of the National Action Plan, but in the end only 315,000 projects Housing entered the system. So far, less than 90,000 of these 315,000 housing units have been seriously funded and built.
Now, six months after the 13th government took office, the housing units of the National Housing Movement have been added to the units of the National Action Plan, and the housing policy is moving in the direction of strengthening the width sector.
With regard to this issue, citing the statistics of the Housing Bank as the operating bank for the payment of facilities to construction projects can to some extent determine the status of assignment of housing construction projects in the country, including the National Housing Action Plan with the National Housing Movement.
* Details of the 6-month performance of the Ministry of Roads in the field of housing
According to the latest documented statistics from the summary of the status of the projects of the National Housing Movement this year, until the beginning of March of last year, 132,709 applicants in the form of 6,112 projects have been introduced to Bank Amel to receive housing construction facilities.
The largest share of applicants introduced to the Housing Bank is related to 33,848 housing units for 3,332 self-owned projects.
After Maliki’s own projects, the most applicants introduced to the bank are 32,443 housing units of the Housing Foundation, which includes 2,402 projects.
Based on this, so far, 22 thousand and 737 applicants in new cities, 18 thousand 201 applicants in the form of projects of the General Directorate of Roads and Urban Development, 22 thousand 781 applicants for projects of the Executive Headquarters of Imam Khomeini and 2 thousand 699 applicants to the Municipal Cooperation Organization to receive Amel Bank Housing facilities are introduced.
In addition, by February 20, 2014, the figure of 6,878 million Tomans has been transferred from the applicants of the National Housing Movement plan to the accounts of the builders.
The amount of the company’s share paid by the bank in the form of housing construction facilities up to the mentioned date, equivalent to one thousand and 711 billion tomans, has been registered to 939 projects.
According to the statistics, a total of End In February of this year, 8,589 billion tomans were transferred from the two places brought by the applicants and the share of the company paid by the Housing Bank to the account of the builders of the National Housing Movement.
* Weakness of the Deputy Minister of Housing and Construction in providing conditions for financing the construction of housing
Despite the start of the financing of housing units, no bank has so far contributed to the projects of the National Housing Movement, except for the Housing Bank.
Based on the existing conditions, it seems that the Deputy Minister of Housing and Construction of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development has not been able to create good conditions for introducing applicants to the banking system. In this regard, based on the only available statistics obtained based on the output of the TEM system, the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development until the beginning of March 1400, has introduced only 6,112 housing construction projects to a bank.
Based on the information obtained from the TEM system, apart from the Housing Bank, the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development has not yet introduced the applicant to other banks in the country.
On the other hand some applicants Self-owned They claim that the mechanisms of the Deputy Minister of Housing and Construction of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development are in no way facilitating the receipt of facilities by the banking system, and incidentally, these legal contradictions and disputes have prevented the receipt of housing facilities.
In this regard, some experts in the field of housing believe that the Deputy Minister of Housing and Construction may have become an obstacle to the national housing movement, according to the form of Jim Self-owned زمین They do not use the land and subsidized facilities, it was canceled, but again these applicants ask for Jim form and they have closed the work of an issue that was canceled before.
In this situation, it seems that the performance of the Deputy Minister of Housing of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development in introducing the applicants of the National Housing Movement to the bank is not in accordance with the law, and this is one of the reasons for creating problems for the people.
* The construction of 1 million houses requires 50,000 hectares of land
In addition to the issue of housing construction facilities, land supply is also considered as an important bottleneck of the National Housing Movement, so the land required for mass production of housing in the mentioned way for the infrastructure of each housing unit, taking into account the architectural and urban planning requirements 50 meters per person And considering the household dimension of 3.3, on average in the country, the infrastructure of each residential unit should be considered 165 meters.
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. It should be noted that the amount of land mentioned above is required for the construction of housing and the ratio of the area of roads and public places in accordance with urban planning criteria should be added to the amount of land provided.
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, with the goal of building one million housing units.
In this regard, the Minister of Roads and Urban Development recently stated in an interview: “ The land will be ready for the construction of 2.4 million units out of the 3 million urban units on the agenda by the end of 1400.»
* Land statistics should be expressed in hectares
A noteworthy point in the issue of statistics related to land supply of the National Housing Movement is the expression of statistics based on statistics on the number of housing units. However, expressing statistics in this way can create the ground for widespread ambiguities. To get this, suppose you have a 1,000-square-meter plot of land to build a house. As long as this land is purely available to you and urban planning regulations do not deduct it from its area for public buildings, according to the law, you are allowed to establish infrastructure in 60% of this land. In other words, you can build more than 600 meters of this land and consider 400 meters for spaces such as life.
In this case, you can build only a 600-meter residential unit in this 600-meter infrastructure, or you can have 60 residential units by converting this land to 6 100-meter units and adding density, for example, in 10 floors.
Note that in all these cases you had only one plot of land of 1000 meters, but in the first case you have built only one residential unit of 600 meters and in the next step 60 units of 100 meters on 10 floors in this fixed land.
On this basis, when the statistics of land supply are expressed on the basis of residential units, it is not clear that the land provided has considered each residential unit as a few meters and in several floors.
Earlier, the CEO of the New Cities Development Company announced the provision of land for the construction of 608,000 housing units, but after facing a question about how much land is intended for the construction of these 608,000 housing units, he stated that for this Residential units of land with dimensions of 15,000 hectares have been determined.
According to the CEO of the New Cities Development Company, more than 40 residential units must be built per hectare of the provided land. Based on this, if we want to consider each household according to the latest population and housing census equal to 3.3 people. With the land provided per hectare of the National Housing Movement located in the new cities, 134 people live.
In this regard, Mohammad کلناتی“The Minister of Roads and Urban Development frequently talks about reviving the way of life in accordance with Iranian-Islamic patterns, but while the average density per person per hectare in the country is 55 in Each hectare is intended to create a 2.5-fold density in the National Housing Movement.
According to this expert in the field of architecture and urban planning, “shrinkage” and high density of floors were considered as weaknesses in some projects of mass production of housing.
He continued: “In such circumstances, it seems that providing statistics based on hectares of land provided can determine the possibility of discussing the adequacy of these lands, and the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development should express the land provided to build one million housing units per hectare.” .
* Record fast Most Housing registration between governments
One of the positive points of the performance of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development, contrary to the issue of facilities and land, was the registration of people, where the speed of registration of applicants in the thirteenth government was higher than any other government. Nevertheless, the applicant registration process closed on the last day of 1400, while experts They believed that the registration system of the National Housing Movement should not be closed until the end of the assignment of four million houses.
In this case, if the reason for the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development not to renew the registration is the aggregation of applicants’ information, this issue can be done in stages at the same time as the registration time is open and there is no technical interference.
Considering the performance of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development in the field of housing construction with the focus on providing land, facilities and registration of people, it seems that fulfilling the President’s promise to build four million houses requires more efforts from the Deputy Minister of Housing and Construction. Continuing the trend of the past 6 months, it may take time to achieve the goal of boosting housing production in the country.
In this regard, measures such as the weekly formation of the Supreme Housing Council chaired by the President can provide the basis for solving many problems and speed up the construction of units of the National Housing Movement.
