According to the website of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development recently issued a notice on the pilot work of rural housing construction, proposing that by 2020, pilot counties (cities, districts, and banners) in each province (district, city) will build a number of replicable and popularized demonstration rural housing projects. Farm house design services, craftsman training management and other farm house construction management systems have been initially established, forming farm house design and construction management experience that can be replicated and promoted.

The notice proposes that provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) with better conditions strive to build a number of demonstration farm houses before the end of 2019. By 2035, the construction of rural houses will be generally managed, farmers’ living conditions and rural landscape will generally improve, and farmers will basically live in livable farm houses that adapt to the new lifestyle.

The notice clarified the content of the pilot and explored a mechanism to support farmers in building livable rural houses. Vigorously carry out rural housing construction pilots, and actively explore how to support the masses in building a group of livable demonstration farm houses that are popular with farmers and have modern functions, rustic appearance, cost-effectiveness, structural safety, and green environmental protection. According to the appropriate points and areas, Build livable demonstration farmhouses and demonstration farmhouse groups based on the principles to form replicable and scalable demonstration experience, and promote the improvement of farmhouse design and construction levels through demonstration leadership.

The notice clearly calls for exploring a service mechanism for organizing rural house design forces to go to the countryside. Pilot counties (cities, districts, and banners) should organize surveys on the current status of farm house construction, understand farmers’ housing needs, and study and refine regional traditional architectural cultural elements and spatial structures based on local climate changes, regional features, folk customs, cultural inheritance, and functional needs. Propose basic standards and technical guidelines for rural house construction, and organize architects, planners and other experts as well as technicians and experts who have gone out from rural areas to understand construction and love the countryside to carry out rural house design services.

The notice clearly calls for exploring the establishment of a training and management system for rural construction craftsmen. Cooperate with colleges and universities and academic groups to strengthen the construction of the rural construction craftsman team, actively organize and carry out relevant training, and explore the establishment of a rural construction craftsman training system and management system that is consistent with rural realities to improve the capabilities and quality of rural project construction personnel. Explore the establishment of a village-level rural housing construction facilitator mechanism, and absorb experts and college student village officials who go to the countryside to serve as part-time village-level rural housing construction facilitators. Where conditions permit, we can promote the inclusion of village-level rural housing construction facilitators into public welfare services. Job guidance directory.

Notify the requirements and organize and implement the pilot. After selecting the pilot counties (cities, districts, and banners), the housing and urban-rural development departments of each province (district, city) must submit the pilot list and pilot work plan before the end of February 2019; establish a long-term mechanism for designers to go to the countryside; implement the government The construction concept of rural houses "created jointly by experts and farmers"; scientifically design the functional space layout of rural houses; promote the application of modern construction methods of rural houses; promote the improvement of the appearance of the village through the construction of rural houses. The design of farm houses must fully study and analyze the regional characteristics and cultural characteristics of the area, and actively explore individual designs based on the overall style of the village.

The notice also requires that the design of farm houses must fully study and analyze the regional characteristics and cultural characteristics of the area, and actively explore individual designs based on the overall style of the village.

The notice emphasized that all localities should formulate pilot work requirements and acceptance standards according to local conditions, and organize experts to conduct acceptance inspections of livable demonstration farm houses. In principle, construction and acceptance should be completed before the end of October 2019. (Source: Sino-Singapore Jingwei)
