Building houses in rural areas is a basic right for farmers to protect their own rights and interests, but in the past, farmers were allowed to build houses at will as long as they had sufficient funds and did not affect the interests of their neighbors. In order to avoid the recurrence of the phenomenon of illegal construction, the law has clearly stipulated that farmers must apply for and obtain approval before building houses. In addition, if farmers do not obtain approval for building houses or do not strictly follow the approved content in the process of building houses, such as unauthorized construction or unauthorized construction in other places, unauthorized changes to the main structure, etc., they will be recognized as illegal buildings.
In order to lay a good foundation for rural planning and demolition work, many places have imposed restrictions on the area where farmhouses can be built. For example, Shijiazhuang requires that urban villages prohibit the renovation of rural houses, and that the height of rural houses should not exceed three floors. In addition, many localities have begun to strictly implement the policy of standard area of homesteads, and farmers can choose to pay for the part that exceeds the standard area, but the excess area cannot be used for construction. In short, farmers must apply before building a house, and must strictly follow the approval requirements during the construction process, and at the same time, rural construction has corresponding regulations in the area, number of floors and area, and buildings that do not meet the regulations will be regarded as illegal buildings.
It is worth mentioning that if the local government prepares to carry out demolition and relocation plans, farmers will be notified in advance to prohibit the renovation of farm houses, and houses built without permission will not be covered by compensation.
Recently, Fujian Province issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Safety Management of Rural Villagers' Housing Construction", which further strengthened the safety management of rural housing construction. The notice clearly requires that the implementation of scaffolding construction specifications and fire prevention measures be strengthened, and construction sites that are found to have potential safety hazards in two or more consecutive inspections will be immediately ordered to stop work for rectification. This measure shows that in the next process of rural housing construction, in addition to requiring the use of construction tools to be more standardized, the prohibition of open flame operations and the arrangement of fire prevention facilities will also become mandatory requirements. If the safety management requirements are not met, the construction of the house will be halted and the construction can only be continued after the requirements are met.
In addition, Fujian Province also requires the builder to specify the specific responsibility of each part of the work when applying for the construction of the house, in addition to designating the craftsman to take the lead, and submit the training certificate of all craftsmen. This measure shows that in terms of "employing people," the requirements for peasants to build houses have also been further strengthened. If the builder does not have a qualification certificate, the building approval will not be issued, and the farmer will have to find another qualified team and resubmit the complete materials.
In view of the further tightening of rural housing construction, peasants should pay attention to some matters. First, other regions may follow the example of Fujian Province, and the scope of measures to further strengthen the construction of rural houses will be expanded, so it is recommended that farmers who plan to build houses should prepare early. Secondly, the approval time for farmers to submit their housing construction applications is usually about one month, and it is recommended that farmers prepare and submit materials in advance to avoid delaying the construction period.
Summary: The impact of the adjustment of rural housing construction policies on farmers cannot be ignored. **Strengthen the supervision of the renovation process of farmhouses and further strengthen the management of construction safety, mainly to protect the interests and personal safety of farmers. However, at the same time as the policy adjustment, farmers should also actively adapt and comply with the regulations to ensure that the housing construction process is legal and compliant, and in the long run, rural housing construction should pay more attention to safety, environmental protection and reasonable planning, so as to provide farmers with a comfortable, safe and livable home.
The adjustment of the policy also needs to adapt to the process, and farmers need to communicate and cooperate more closely, and more guidance and help should be provided to help farmers understand the changes in the policy and solve the problems encountered in the process of building houses, and at the same time, farmers should also consciously abide by the relevant regulations to ensure the quality and safety of building houses. Only through the joint efforts of farmers can we achieve rural construction and a happy and beautiful life for farmers.
Rural housing construction is an important rights and interests of farmers and people's livelihood issues, and society should attach great importance to it. **It is necessary to strengthen supervision and improve relevant policies and laws and regulations to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of farmers are not violated and their safety and well-being are guaranteed. At the same time, farmers should also strengthen their awareness of self-protection, comply with relevant regulations, and reasonably plan and manage their own housing projects to ensure their safety and sustainable development. Farmers' housing is an important force to promote rural development, and only by forming a good cooperative relationship with farmers can we jointly promote rural construction and farmers' happy life.
