Legal problems of housing and economic policy in the conditions of war and post-war reconstruction

Abstract

The article discusses the problems of legal support of the housing policy of the state in the conditions of war and post-war reconstruction. On the basis of the analysis of the actual state of affairs in the field of housing, analytical materials and theoretical works of researchers, problems are revealed that have become particularly relevant with the beginning of full-scale Russian military aggression against Ukraine. It is emphasized the need to take into account in the measures to ensure the effectiveness of the housing policy in the specified conditions not only the circumstances of national and regional importance (provision of forced migrants and persons whose housing was destroyed or significantly damaged with temporary housing; restoration of critical infrastructure damaged by enemy shelling, which provides residents of buildings with appropriate resources – electricity, water, gas; the safety of residents of multi-apartment buildings, given the lack of bomb shelters in most of them and the disregard during their construction risks associated with war and natural disuster), as well as everyday problems (regarding individual safety residents of buildings in which individual apartments are rented out or used as hostels without notifying neighbors about the persons using such housing; regarding the autonomy of apartments in terms of their provision of electricity, water, etc. in the event of their centralized disconnection due to damage to the relevant infrastructure). Despite the adoption of a number of acts aimed at solving these problems, most of them require appropriate legal support, including: requirements for the safety and energy efficiency of housing; living conditions in multi-apartment buildings from the point of view of openness of information about residents, including temporary residents; stimulating the introduction of the latest technologies to ensure energy efficiency and home autonomy. It emphasizes the complex nature of solving housing problems, which should include economic (regarding financing), innovation (introduction of the latest technologies), construction and operation (regarding compliance with relevant requirements), environmental (regarding environmental safety of construction technologies) and legal (consolidation of appropriate measures on levels of legislative acts) components. A special role will be played by innovative technologies aimed at solving the problems of safety and energy autonomy of housing, measures to stimulate the development and introduction of which need to be established at the level of law.
