In recent years, we have also found that there are fewer and fewer implementation plans related to rural land acquisition and demolition. I remember that in the past, in the process of urbanization, many rural areas would be requisitioned and demolished, and farmers also received a lot of compensation after being resettled. Later, with the acceleration of the pace of new rural construction, there were more cases of rural infrastructure construction, and the situation of land acquisition and demolition of houses was also common.
But now, with the continuous construction and development of rural areas, many infrastructure constructions have been improved, and the layout of the villages in this development has now been basically completed. In this context, without project construction, there are fewer rural demolitions. In some places, demolition and relocation have been gradually stopped, and concentrated resettlement areas for farmers have been built instead.
However, at the same time that the demolition and relocation of rural areas is gradually stopped, have you noticed that many localities have already begun to take action and have taken new measures to renovate some unsafe farmhouses in rural areas. So how do you deal with it? Let's take a look.
In the rural areas of the mainland, villagers who have the conditions have already built houses in their hometowns, and for the low-income people who do not have the conditions, they are now unable to renovate their dilapidated houses by themselves. This kind of unsafe farmhouse is also a big hidden danger in the village, and in case of natural disasters, there is also a risk of collapse at any time, threatening the life safety of the householder.
Therefore, in the No. 1 document released this year, the mainland also requires all regions to continue to implement the two major policies of rural dilapidated housing renovation and rural housing seismic renovation. At present, the measures taken by various localities are mainly to deal with dilapidated houses in the form of reconstruction and reconstruction, repair and reinforcement of dilapidated houses, and seismic renovation.
To put it simply, if there are potential safety hazards in the housing of low-income people, they can apply for measures such as reconstruction and reinforcement, and the state will also give reconstruction subsidies and renovation subsidies. For farmers who need to be renovated against earthquakes, a more stable and earthquake-resistant design scheme is used to renovate their farmhouses. In this way, the housing security of low-income people is guaranteed.
Seeing this, I believe everyone also knows how the mainland will deal with some unsafe farmhouses in rural areas starting in 2024. Now it will not be resettled in the form of demolition and relocation, but will respect the wishes of the peasants and rebuild on the spot. This is good news for the majority of low-income populations.
I remember that in the past, during the period of poverty alleviation, many places adopted the method of "ex-situ poverty alleviation and relocation" to build centralized resettlement areas for villagers in the housing security policy for poor households, and resettled them in one place. Now, the renovation of dilapidated houses for low-income housing security measures shows that the state still respects the wishes of farmers.
Of course, although the implementation of these three transformation measures is also being accelerated in various localities, there are also clear regulations on the target, and only low-income people can apply. That is, only rural subsistence households, rural people supporting people living in extreme poverty, rural poverty monitoring targets, rural subsistence allowance marginal families, and expenditure-based families in difficulty are allowed. Other subjects are not allowed to participate at this time.
In addition, according to the policy arrangement, the mainland's funding arrangements for the renovation of dilapidated houses will not end until the end of 2025, during which period, if low-income people have the need to renovate dilapidated houses, they can also apply to the village in advance, so as not to miss this round of policies.
Okay, the above is the rural housing safety and security measures that I have interpreted for you, what do you think about this? Has your village started to declare? Let's talk about it.
