MOI ESTIMATES URBAN RNEWAL WORTH NT$2.7 TRILLION TO ECONOMY|雙北老屋3.4萬棟有耐震風險 內政部推重建

The Legislative Yuan's Internal Administration Committee has begun its initial review of a draft bill to reward and expedite the reconstruction of old and dangerous urban buildings. Minister of the Interior 葉俊榮 said that Taiwan has many old houses in need of rebuilding, especially in Taipei and New Taipei City where about 45% of all houses are over 30 years old. He also said that the first phase of rebuilding alone could drive $2.7 trillion NTD in economic value. The Ministry of the Interior has drafted a bill to reward and expedite reconstruction of dangerous and old urban buildings to address worries of major damage in earthquakes. Initial review of the bill has begun in the Legislative Yuan, with legislators on both sides worried about how the bill would fit with the current Urban Renewal Act and questioning the lack of supporting measures. ==TSENG MING-TSUNG KMT Legislator== Traditional apartment buildings have a large amount of units and complex ownership structures. It will be difficult for these buildings to fit the requirement that all owners of the land and legal structures to agree to rebuild. ==CHAO TIEN-LIN DPP Legislator=== Will this bill be detrimental to the current Urban Renewal Act? What kind of competition or coordination will there be between the two? The draft bill offers a bonus floor-to-area ratio allotment for reconstruction projects, 1.4 times that of the current legal maximum. The bonus floor-to-area ratio may not be transferred. The house tax on the rebuilt structure will be reduced by 50% for life. These rewards apply to all structures over 30 years old that have been rated as deficient in earthquake resistance, as well as structures over 40 years old with no elevators that have been condemned or designated as dangerous. Minister of the Interior Yeh Jiunn-rong said that the rebuilding of old structures could drive NT$2.7 trillion in economic value. ==YEH JIUN-RONG Minister of the Interior== If 40% of the structures, or 34,000 buildings, are rebuilt, and each rebuilding project costs NT$80 million, this will create NT$2.72 trillion for the construction industry. ==CHANG CHIN-OH Professor, NCCU Dept. of Land Economics== When people live in dangerous places, the government should intervene with its power. But now the government is not intervening, they're just offering rewards for improvement. This is clearly inappropriate. Academics say that the draft bill has more symbolic than actual value, and that the government should not conflate dangerous and old structures. They also said that such a bill should be accompanied by codifying structural inspections of old buildings into law. TRANSLATED BY：JOHN CHEN 立法院內政委員會今天初審都市危險及老舊建築物加速重建獎勵條例草案，內政部長葉俊榮表示，台灣有很多老舊房屋，尤其是雙北市，約有45%的房子已經超過30年，其中有3.4萬棟屬4、5層樓建築物，有耐震上的風險，希望加速老屋重建，同時他也提到，初估第一階段老屋重建，可望帶動2.7兆元的產值。 擔心地震會造成重大災情，內政部要推動「都市危險及老舊建築物加速重建獎勵條例」草案，上午在立法院進行初審，朝野立委擔心，老屋重建條例是否與現行的都更條例產生競合關係，並質疑沒有配套措施。 ==國民黨立委 曾銘宗== 一般傳統公寓因為戶數非常多 產權非常複雜 難以符合它的要件 是全體土地及 合法建物所有人同意的要件 ==民進黨立委 趙天麟=== 這個條例本身會不會跟 都更條例產生排擠的情況 還是它是怎麼樣的競合關係 這項草案提出的容積獎勵上限，法定容積的1.4倍，而且改建後不再移轉，房屋稅可以終身減半徵收，而適用範圍包含屋齡超過30年，經耐震評估，有重建需要者，以及超過40年並且沒有電梯，需限期強制拆除或有危險的建物，同時葉俊榮表示，老屋加速重建，初估可能帶動2.7兆元的產值。 ==內政部長 葉俊榮== 用40%去算 大概3.4萬棟的話 每棟營造成本 如果是8000萬元 創造的營建產值 約是2兆7千2百億元 ==政大地政系特聘教授 張金鶚== 住在危險的地方 政府就應該公權力介入 結果政府沒有公權力介入 只用獎勵的方式讓它來 達成改善的目的 顯然有不是很恰當 不過這項草案，卻被學者認為條例宣示意義大於實質效果，危險房屋與老舊房屋是兩件事情，政府將二者併在一起談有點奇怪，如果真的要通過，也建議要讓房屋健檢制度法制化。 記者 郭采彥 陳昌維 台北報導
