Improvement of domestic territories in Russia is referred to the competence of regional and local authorities. However, with the exception of Moscow, partly the Moscow region and St. Petersburg, the relevant authorities almost do not allocate funds for these purposes. At best, improvement is limited to the central part of the regional "capitals". As a rule, this is justified by the lack of funds in local budgets.
Federal beautification program
In 2017, under the auspices of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation, the project program "Comfortable urban environment" was adopted. It is valid until 2022. The total amount of funding under this program is more than 42 billion rubles, of which approximately 25 billion rubles are planned to be allocated from the federal budget for the improvement of courtyard areas. The constituent entities of the Russian Federation should also take part in this program by allocating about 17 billion rubles for its implementation. The distribution of federal funds depends on the activity of regional authorities and the local population.
Any settlement with more than 1,000 residents can receive funding for the improvement of courtyard areas in 2019-2022. To be included in the program, the corresponding territory must be transferred to the shared ownership of residents of adjacent houses. After completion of work at the “state expense”, all further expenses for the repair and maintenance of courtyard areas are completely shifted to the owners, i.e. residents. They can participate in this both in cash and in kind (“subbotniks”, etc.).
The following works are being carried out under the federal project:
- installation of garbage bins and containers;
- installation of benches;
- organization of car parking;
- installation of lighting equipment;
- repair of yard passages;
- equipment for children's and sports grounds;
- landscaping.
According to the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation, in 2017-2018, more than 20,000 households in different cities of Russia were landscaped as part of this program. Among the leading regions in the implementation of this project:
- Kaluga region;
- Krasnoyarsk region;
- Chechen Republic;
- Kaliningrad region;
- Tomsk region.
Improvement of courtyards in Moscow and the region
In the capital of Russia, the corresponding city program was adopted back in 2011. Since 2015, the city program “My Street” has been operating, within the framework of which the repair and improvement of Moscow courtyards is also carried out. The ideologists of these projects were the influential Strelka Institute of Architecture and Design (chairman of the trustee A. Mamut), as well as the Danish architect Jan Gale, who was invited to Moscow by the city authorities in 2010. Gale is known in Denmark and other countries of the world for his work on the transformation and humanization of urban spaces. The validity period of Moscow improvement programs has been extended for the period 2019-2022.
At present, about 25,000 courtyards have been “ennobled” in Moscow. An active arrangement of adjacent territories is being carried out in the so-called. "New Moscow" ( former districts Moscow region southwest of the capital). In addition to standard work, similar to those carried out under the federal project, the capital's programs include:
- expansion and repair of sidewalks;
- establishment of cycle paths and parking lots;
- laying tiles instead of asphalt pavement;
- installation of barriers at the entrance to the yards (in agreement with local residents);
- designer landscaping.
In 2019-2022, the city government plans to focus on the repair and maintenance of already landscaped courtyard areas.
Critics of the Moscow authorities say that such improvement is too expensive. In particular, in 2017 alone, about 200 billion rubles were allocated for it from the Moscow budget. This not only far exceeds the costs of a similar federal program, but more than the total budgets of many regions of Russia. The well-known economic geographer and specialist in territorial policy N.V. Zubarevich called such expenses for the improvement of Moscow "defiant consumption against the backdrop of an impoverished country." In addition, many note the lack of transparency in the distribution of funds for city projects, overestimated estimates, various abuses, poor quality of work performed, and a refusal to take into account the opinions of residents.
In the Moscow region, there is a program for the improvement of yard areas in many respects similar to Moscow projects. A special regional law was adopted, containing "uniform standards" for such improvement. In 2018, by order of the governor, a specialized regional ministry was established. Every year, approximately 1300-1500 households are "ennobled" in the Moscow region. On the other hand, the amount of funds allocated for these purposes in the Moscow region is several times less than in the capital. Critics point out the poor quality of the work carried out, various violations. The allocated funding in the Moscow region is often not enough to repair and maintain the already equipped yards.
Experts from the Center for Monitoring the Improvement of the Urban Environment checked how the federal project is being implemented in seven regions: Chuvash Republic, Voronezh Region, Primorsky Territory, Tula, Novgorod and Tomsk Regions, as well as in the Republic of Udmurtia. As it turned out, a common problem for all regions is that residents are poorly informed about the project and opportunities to participate in improvement. The activists sent a complete list of all detected shortcomings to the Ministry of Construction of Russia.
According to experts, in the Chuvash Republic, only the draft state program for the formation of the urban environment for 2018-2022 is posted on the official website of the Ministry of Construction. At the same time, meetings of interdepartmental commissions are held less than once every three months, and the head of the region does not personally oversee most of the events. As of October 31, 2017, out of nine municipalities, only two have completed all the improvement works.
An on-site check showed that the municipal improvement program of the city of Cheboksary included courtyard areas that had already been put in order in 2013-2016. In addition, in many cases, when forming a list of objects and draft designs, citizens were given samples of only one manufacturer, and when designing, the standards for creating a barrier-free environment for people with limited mobility were not observed and were not taken into account.
“In the Voronezh region, as it turned out, when applying for improvement, residents did not receive the number of the submitted application in their hands. In connection with the accelerated deadlines for the formation of applications in 2017, plans for the improvement of courtyard territories were developed without taking into account the opinion of citizens, and in fact were imposed by the district administrations. The residents had to approve all this, because otherwise the yards could simply not get into the project,” said Svetlana Kalinina, coordinator of the Center for Monitoring the Improvement of the Urban Environment, a member of the Central Headquarters of the ONF.
At the same time, the websites of some municipalities in the Voronezh Region do not contain information on the implementation of the “Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment” project, despite the fact that all programs must be posted on the websites of municipalities. Also, several cases of changes in the plans for the improvement of yard territories approved by citizens were recorded, since the financing of the project decreased. One of the problems faced by the experts in the region is the lack of properly formalized rights of citizens to land plots under multi-apartment buildings (MKD). Because of this, problems arise for the further maintenance of the courtyard area and property located on it.
Thus, in the Primorsky Territory, demarcated yards owned by residents of MKDs were not included in the program for the formation of a modern urban environment. In addition, it turned out that most residents of the region do not know about the implementation of the project and, accordingly, do not participate in decision-making. At the same time, a meeting of the regional interdepartmental commission is held less than once every three months.
Based on the results of the inspection in the Tomsk region, the experts of the Center concluded that the representatives of the authorities responsible for the implementation of the priority project should be trained in the rules for holding meetings, the basics of information transparency and control over the quality of work. It turned out that the landscaping program for 2018–2022 do not include applications from residents who did not qualify for the program in 2017, but require people to re-collect documents and submit applications.
“Obviously, there are problems in the region with an integrated approach to the implementation of a priority project,” explained Rodion Gazizov, coordinator of the ONF Center for Monitoring the Improvement of the Urban Environment in the Tomsk Region. – For example, when landscaping a courtyard area, attention should be paid not only to asphalt paving, but also to the arrangement of storm sewers, the appearance of the facade of the house, and the presence of sidewalks. It is also important that residents do not have questions about the adequacy of the ratio of the amount of work actually carried out and their cost, so you need to talk with people, consult, take into account their opinion, explain what, how and why will be done.
In the Tula region, experts encountered the poor quality of landscaping work. For example, in regional center at 4 Leiteizena Street, the work has already been completed, however, according to the residents of the house, there are many shortcomings left: for example, there is no lawn on the territory, there is dirt around the slides and horizontal bars. People are also dissatisfied with the fact that they have lost benches near the entrances. ONF activists in the Tula region drew attention to these shortcomings and will make sure that they are eliminated.
In the Novgorod region, according to experts, the authorities approached the implementation of the project formally. In practice, it turned out that when creating a modern urban environment, officials limited themselves to asphalting courtyards. In addition, the developed design projects were not approved by residents in certain districts of the Novgorod region, and the opinion of public activists was not taken into account during meetings in public commissions.
In Udmurtia, there were also comments on the quality of landscaping work. Asphalt roads were also only repaired in almost all checked yards, and not everywhere with high quality. In addition, there are claims to the elements of the accessible environment, as well as to the inconsistency of the design and estimate documentation with the residents.
“Every time we remind you that the priority project “Creating a Comfortable Urban Environment” is aimed at involving residents themselves in the improvement processes, making courtyards and public spaces more convenient for them. However, many citizens simply do not know about the existence of the project, and this must be fought,” Svetlana Kalinina explained.
The really good news is that the federal program for the improvement of yard areas is coming into effect in the period from 2018 to 2022. This name has an extended meaning - not only courtyards, but also squares, parks, squares, embankments will acquire a new look. But the main part of the money is intended for the improvement of courtyard areas.
The federal government allocates an amount of 20 billion rubles from its budget. The money will be distributed among the regions, their administrations will have to think over the correct scheme for the further use of these funds.
Specifically allocated money is intended for the improvement of public places. Permits from ordinary residents to improve squares and parks are not required, since their rights have been violated in this case will not. But the tenants will have obligations after the improvement of the adjacent territories. These places will acquire the status of common house property. The owners of apartments are obliged to pay for the maintenance of the yards in the proper form.
Regional distribution
AT Russian Federation there are 85 regions. They differ in size and population. The city is the largest region in terms of population. federal significance Moscow. However, it is one of the smallest regions in terms of area. The situation is opposite in Yakutia. There are apparently more squares, parks and yards in large settlements. As you can see, the implementation of the program is a difficult task already at the first stage.
Adoption of municipal programs
To receive money from the federal budget, regions and municipalities must develop their own program and approve it. Unusually, this can be influenced by the residents themselves. Landscaping activities are carried out in the yards of apartment buildings only.
The municipal program for the improvement of yard areas, starting in 2018, includes a list of addresses of adjacent plots of apartment buildings in need of improvement. Government Decree of the Russian Federation No. 169 regulates that approval must be made no later than December 31, 2017.
Which communities can participate in the program?
Order of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation No. 691-pr approved guidelines, according to which municipalities with a population of more than 1,000 people participate in the program.
Who now takes care of the yards
According to the housing code, land plot on which the house is located is common property. But for this, a formality must be completed - an official transfer. In fact, most households did not go through this procedure. Therefore, they are considered municipal property.
Every year money is allocated to maintain order in them in accordance with their own taste and financial capabilities. A survey of residents of the house is not carried out and, accordingly, their wishes are not taken into account. The residents of the house do not consider themselves the owners and do not treat the property with particular care.
New rules
In 2022, after the end of the program, new rules will be introduced. Landscaped and pleasing to the eye with well-groomed yards will begin to be considered part of the common property. What this means, the residents already know - they pay for the maintenance of roofs, basements and porches. You will also have to pay for maintaining order in your yards. But for the already established order!
Thus, the state first helps with a lot of money to clean up the yard for a long time, and then this responsibility passes to the apartment owners.
The further fate of each yard depends on the will of the inhabitants of the house. It is important that they understand that the territory of the yard will be included in the program only if they take the initiative. This is decided at a general house meeting, where residents will be introduced to the list of minimum work that can be done in their yard.
The meeting must decide what improvements should be made. If additional types of work are expected, it is necessary to find out whether the tenants are ready to participate in this materially and personally. At the meeting, a person is selected who will further represent the interests of the residents of the house and monitor the safety of the acquired improvements.
Examples of minimum and additional work are indicated in the table.
If a decision is made to carry out additional work, then the number of people who are ready to participate in this should be clarified.
Participation can be:
- Labor. It is free and voluntary. This is participation in subbotniks, construction and painting works, installation of trash cans and benches, gardening, cleaning the territory.
- Financial. This means funds collected in the form of lump-sum payments (the amount must be at least approved in the decision of the meeting), and the involvement of sponsors.
Meetings can be organized by: the housing and communal services board, the management company or initiative residents. For notification, you can post announcements indicating the agenda, spread out notifications in mailboxes, call in person. All decisions taken at the meeting are recorded in the minutes.
Online municipal government you can find out which specific yard is included in the program.
What is needed to include the local area in the improvement program
In order for a specific yard to get into the program, you must perform the following actions:
- Create an initiative group.
- Make a list of desired changes.
- Draw up a yard plan with proposed improvements.
- Conduct a general meeting of tenants, after which a protocol will be drawn up.
- Submit an application for participation in the program to the municipal authorities.
If, according to the cadastral passport, there are several houses in the adjacent territory, then representatives of each of them should be in the initiative group.
The drawing indicates existing objects and planned ones. Proposed innovations must comply with the municipal program. For example, the installation of a monument in the courtyard may not be included there.
A positive decision is made if the majority of those present at the meeting voted for it. Following the results of the meeting, a protocol is drawn up.
Then, an application for improvement is submitted to the municipality. The public commission created there will consider it and organize a public discussion. municipal organization submit for consideration a design project of the yard, which requires agreement with the representatives selected at the general meeting of residents.
Based on the design project, the municipality will organize a competitive selection of contractors to carry out the necessary work. Representatives from the initiative group conduct intermediate control over the progress of work.
Further maintenance of the yard in order can be carried out by the residents themselves or with the involvement of third-party organizations for an additional fee.
Participation in the program and joint discussion of details has an additional bonus - this is the unity of people living in the same house.
See video about the landscaping program:
Around each apartment building there is a house adjoining territory, which belongs to all owners at the same time. The current legislation provides for regular work on its improvement. The plan of these works, quality standards and other rules are described in detail in the article.
The standards for the size of the territory, which belongs to the house, is regulated primarily by the Housing Code (Chapter 6). They also pay attention to urban planning acts, which depend on the specific locality, construction documents and Rules for the maintenance of common property related to an apartment building.
There is no single, specific formula for all cases. However, for each house there is a plan (you can see it in the Management Company or HOA), which clearly shows the boundaries of the territory.
Thus, to determine the area of responsibility for the care and improvement of the yard area First, the boundaries must be clearly defined.. Legally, it can be in municipal or private ownership. In the latter case, the land is considered to belong simultaneously to all owners in shares proportional to the areas of their apartments.
Responsible for landscaping
If the land belongs to the municipality, then representatives of the local Administration are responsible for the improvement. If the adjacent territory belongs to private property, the tenants are responsible. However, in this case, the owners, as a rule, transfer (delegate) their powers to a certain legal entity:
- A management company that is responsible for the maintenance of common property, landscaping, yard cleaning, garbage disposal and much more;
- House committee (from among the owners, appropriate responsible persons are appointed).
Thus, regardless of the size of the local area and the form of ownership of it Responsibility for maintenance lies with the owner(directly or indirectly - i.e. through an agreement with the Management Company). UK provides appropriate paid services paid at the accepted rate.
Apartment owners have the right to demand the fulfillment of obligations under the contract in full. The text of the agreement can be found in the company or taken from a responsible person (for example, from the chairman of the HOA or from the head of the house).
Expert opinion
Salomatov Sergey
Real Estate Expert
In the case of purchasing an apartment in a new building, the owners conclude a contract of sale with construction company. An act of acceptance and transfer of property is also signed (both the house itself and the yard around it). The obligation of the developer to carry out the improvement of the yard should be spelled out in the contract. Otherwise, the owners will not be able to require him to carry out the relevant work.
List of landscaping works
A specific list of works is approved at the local level - in the resolutions of regional governments. Typically, such programs are called "Formation of a comfortable urban environment."
The final list of works can be determined individually for each apartment building. Residents at the general meeting of owners have the right to independently determine a specific list of responsibilities of the Management Company servicing the house (within their financial capabilities). The list of works usually includes the following types:
- Cleaning of the entire area intended for common use, including allocated areas for parking.
- Installation of garbage cans and urns.
- The device of passage from asphalt, sidewalks.
- Installation of curbs and curbs.
- Maintenance of street lighting lamps, periodic inspection and repair work, elimination of the consequences of emergencies.
- Installation of lighting systems for additional purposes (for example, lighting on a sports, playground, etc.).
- Creation, maintenance, expansion, modernization of a playground in the courtyard (and other active recreation areas, if available - for example, horizontal bars, exercise equipment, etc.).
- Landscaping, maintenance of shrubs, trees, flower beds.
- Painting of all stationary structures installed on the site, including fences, benches, bins, supports, etc.
- Seasonal work related to ensuring the safety of residents and tenants - treatment of footpaths with an anti-icing mixture, destruction of icicles, icing, snow crust, etc.
- Installation, maintenance and repair work on the fences of the site, its individual zones (for example, a flower garden, a playground).
- Installation of ramps, railings, and other devices in the yard to create a comfortable environment for people with disabilities.
- Coverage of the territory - natural or artificial turf, asphalt.
- Mounting architectural structures, sculptures, small fountains, etc.
- Creation of zones for walking animals, fencing, maintenance of these territories.
The volume of each type of work has its own unit of measure - in most cases it is a square meter, running meter or pieces. For example, curbs are measured in linear meters, asphalt laying is measured in m 2, and litter bins are installed in units.
Lists of works are compiled for each year, the content of the types of services and prices for them are specified as new information becomes available. Usually the document is approved in advance, before the new year.
Standards for carrying out basic work
Specific standards are established both at the level of federal and at the level of regional legislation (regulations, GOSTs, SNiPs and other documents). The main source of information is the relevant Resolution of the State Construction Committee.
Asphalting
This is one of the most expensive budget items for landscaping yards. As a rule, before making a decision on repairs, at least half of the residents gather, who make the corresponding decision by a majority vote. The work is carried out at the expense of additional financing by the owners (or at the expense of income from the lease of a part of the local area).
Asphalt standards are as follows:
- the height of the layer may differ from the accepted one by at least 15 cm;
- the width of the coating directly around the house is at least 100 cm;
- coverage on the roads directly adjacent to the entrances, as well as in the parking lot - is mandatory.
Fencing Rules
The construction of permanent fences is not prohibited by law, however, when carrying out work, several requirements must be taken into account:
- The fence cannot block the passage, as well as the car entrance to the house.
- The territory of the courtyard cannot be completely limited - so that residents of other courtyards cannot cross it without hindrance.
- However, a playground or parking lot can be completely fenced.
Fences in the parking lot should not interfere with the passage to the house of special vehicles (police, Ambulance, fire engines, etc.).
Gardening rules
When carrying out the improvement of the yard, attention is almost always paid to the landscaping of the territory. It is subject to the following requirements:
- Mowing lawns, shrubs, green hedges is carried out regularly (several times during the warm season).
- Watering is timely, in a dry summer - enhanced.
- The inadmissibility of unauthorized planting of shrubs and trees, as well as their uprooting.
- Compliance with clear boundaries of the green zone, lawns. It is unacceptable to expand it at the expense of footpaths and other areas.
- It is not allowed to use trees as poles, supports, advertising structures, etc.
- Timely cleaning of dead wood, last year's grass.
- It is forbidden to place parking spaces directly in the green zone.
- It is allowed to erect low fences, signal posts for visual highlighting of lawns, areas with trees and shrubs.
Sometimes the green zone in the yards additionally contains an artificial pond. In this case, at the meeting of owners, it is necessary to develop a procedure for caring for water in order to avoid clogging the pond, water blooming, etc.
Arrangement of a playground
Responsibility for the construction of the playground lies with:
- on the developer, if this clause was originally provided for in the contract (for new buildings);
- on the owners of apartments, if the adjacent territory has already been privatized;
- on the municipality (Administration), if there has been no privatization yet.
The requirements for the creation and maintenance of sites are the most stringent, since we are talking First of all, about the safety of children.
In general, when carrying out installation or repair work, the following requirements are adhered to:
- The area for the site is chosen based on the fact that it should be the most distant from the roadway, garbage cans (at least 20 meters).
- Along the perimeter, the site is fenced with trees that will provide shade in the summer.
- Be sure to create a sand cushion to minimize injury when falling. Sand is replaced annually.
- Maintaining cleanliness and hygiene standards.
Employees of the Management Company should monitor the condition of the territory. They clean up trash, make routine repairs, carry out regular inspections with reports, and so on.
GOST requirements for the improvement of playgrounds prescribe the creation of several zones for different age groups. In practice, this idea can not be implemented in all cases. Therefore, they are limited to installing at least one horizontal bar (simulator, game structure) for each age.
Maintenance and overhaul
Under major repairs understand the following types of work:
- landscaping the yard with shrubs and trees, creating a hedge;
- installation of fences, buildings;
- asphalting of parking lots, intra-yard roads and footpaths.
Current repairs include:
- patching of roads;
- work on the maintenance of fences and buildings on the site;
- repair work on children's and sports grounds.
How to participate in the beautification program
The maintenance of the house, including the adjoining territory, is carried out mainly by the Management Company, to which the tenants transfer these powers under the contract. However, in practice, its scope of responsibility is limited to garbage collection, lawn mowing, etc. To carry out a complete renovation of the playground, organize a recreation area and make other large-scale changes, residents have to contact the local Administration.
Step 1. Holding a general meeting
First of all, the owners should gather at a general meeting to decide on the preparation of a plan for the improvement of their yard. In practice, the same yard actually belongs to several apartment buildings at once. Therefore, it is advisable to organize a general meeting with the participation of the owners of all apartments belonging to the micro-site.
An initiative group is preliminarily assembled (for example, elders in the house, at the entrances, chairmen of the HOA) and draw up an announcement about the organization of the meeting. It reflects the information:
- on the composition of the initiative group;
- the date, time and place of the meeting;
- on the agenda (including landscaping the yard).
The decision is taken by a simple majority of votes. At the same time, the quorum (the minimum required amount) is 50% of all owners. and signed by the members.
The results of the meeting are communicated to all owners through announcements within 10 calendar days after the decision has been made. The requirements for drawing up a protocol should be specified in the relevant regulatory document (Order).
Step 2. Yard improvement plan
At the meeting, among other issues, the list, plan and procedure for landscaping the yard are discussed. The plan is drawn up with the involvement of specialists or without them. As a rule, the owners provide a complete list of all works, indicate them on the diagram.
For the needs of the city, a substantial amount is annually allocated from budget funds, which is used to create the most comfortable environment, restoration and restoration work. Rules for the improvement of the territory have been developed and officially adopted municipality, allowing you to effectively organize and plan the amount of upcoming work. This makes it possible to systematically improve and more effectively maintain our capital in proper condition.
The My Street project is large-scale and has been implemented since 2014, gradually affecting all districts of Moscow. Over the previous year alone, more than 60 streets were landscaped in accordance with the plan for this project. Main of programs "Improvement of courtyards" in 2017 started on April 10 and actively continues to gain momentum. It is expected that most of the work will be carried out in June and July. During the peak period, it is planned to use about 2 thousand different equipment and more than 20 thousand workers.
Work on the improvement of the streets of the capital
The plan of the stages of work that was approved department of improvement of Moscow, includes 80 different objects, while their total area varies within 240 hectares. According to the information received, provided to the correspondent by the head of the overhaul department A. Eliseev, now they plan to overhaul more than a third of the facades of buildings that have historical meaning and about 270 yards. In addition, the program includes 12 embankments, including Krasnopresnenskaya, Rostovskaya, Bolotnaya and others.Project "My Street" program 2017 list of streets:
The list of squares and streets to be improved includes approximately 87 objects that this year will be given for large-scale restoration and restoration work. In addition, the improvement of the "main rings" (Boulevard, Kremlin, Garden) will continue in Moscow. Work will also take place on the boulevards. In particular, Chistoprudny, Sretensky, Strastny and other territories are subject to restoration.In addition, major works will also be carried out in the territories near the Krasnopresnenskaya, Sokol, Barrikadnaya and Akademicheskaya metro stations. The landscaping of Kitaygorodsky Proyezd, Ilyinsky Square and Novaya Square will be completed. The large-scale program also includes Karetny Ryad, Varvarka, Bolotnaya and a number of other streets. It is also planned to improve a number of lanes. Among them: Bogoyavlensky, Rybny, Kadashevsky and others. The program for this year includes the Lubyanskaya and Tverskaya Zastava squares. Large-scale work on Tverskaya Street is planned to begin at the end of the Victory Day.
The approximate date of completion of the main construction work is not yet known, but it is assumed that the mayor's office plans to complete most of the program by the City Day. According to the head of the department, the roadway will not be completely blocked - temporary technological overlaps will be used to lay communication systems. The State Department will try to support the most comfortable movement of pedestrians and vehicles. Mayor S. Sobyanin news I posted everything on a specialized website, emphasizing that all the funds received are fully invested in the improvement of the capital's streets.
