II. Implementing Sustainable Land Development and Protecting
Housing Rights
1. Ensure Land Use Sustainability and Improve Urban Renewal Policies
To adjust to climate change, assure homeland security, strengthen land consolidation and
management mechanisms, the MOI has announced the National spatial plan, which has established with
specific strategies for national spatial development, growth management, sectoral spatial development,
climate change adaptation, disaster prevention strategies, demarcation of functional zone and land
use control, so as to achieve the goal of safety, order and harmony. The MOI also guides the special
municipality and county/city governments the development of spatial plans to promote the reasonable
allocation of land resources.
For the purpose of implementing integrated coastal zone management, preventing coastal disasters
and damage to the environment, conserving and restoring resources, the MOI mitigates the impact
of environmental sensitive areas through a development and utilization permission review system. The
MOI also keeps up the spirit of “wise use” to regulate every development plan in accordance with the
characteristics of each wetland, respecting people’s rights to use as well as their rights to work and to
prosper.
In order to promote urban renewal actively, the MOI has reviewed and revised the Urban Renewal Act
thoroughly in eight aspects, such as clear reward regulation and tax deduction to solve practical dilemma.
Moreover, the MOI will practice “three plus one defense line” which includes the urban planning review,
hearing holding, application enhancing Review Committee of urban renewal and negotiation platform
establishment to strengthen procedural justice and raise people’s trust. Furthermore, the Urban Renewal
Act will add a new chapter about government-led urban renewal and provide financial aid to perfect the
urban renewal mechanism.
2. Protect Housing Rights and Establish Friendly Living Environment
To enforce housing rights and to achieve the goal of providing 200,000 new rental units over the next
eight years, the MOI has been coordinating land and finance for constructing social housing for each local
governments, providing multi-function support system to take care of the living demand, combining with
experimental projects such as youth entrepreneurial guidance and barrier-free facilities to make social
housing become high-quality dwellings. Additionally, the MOI is actively executing policies that sublease
housing units from private landlords and manage the properties on their behalf. The special municipality
governments have implemented the plan so as to achieve the goal of “Landlords rent houses without
worries, rental agents manage attentively and tenants live with ease”.
