Russia: Housing Innovation Management of Development

Introduction:

The relevance of the study is due to the imperfection of the state policy in the field of housing innovation in construction based on the introduction of organizational, managerial, and technological innovations to provide citizens with comfortable and affordable housing with low operating costs for its maintenance. At the present stage of economic development, instability of world financial markets, and falling real income of the Russian population one of the important issues is the search for new mechanisms for development and improvement of measures of social support for the population.

At the same time, one of the most important state tasks is to improve the living conditions of citizens through the development and implementation of appropriate state policies. Therefore, effective management of this industry plays a critical role in the entire economy of the country and affects both the investment climate of the territory and the quality of life of citizens.

Housing Innovation In Construction:

The country is experiencing an inefficient use of resources for the production of a unit of production. Studies conducted by experts have shown that in Russia, the production of a unit of production requires several times more energy than in developed countries, such as Japan, Germany, and the United States. These circumstances characterize the extremely costly level of the Russian economy, especially in the construction industry. It should be noted that the need for housing innovation in construction is due to the following reasons:

 Increasing the level of competition and the need to function in a constantly tightening competitive environment, both at the global level and in a specific country and region.

 The rapid development of progress in various areas of the world economy against the background of stricter environmental requirements.

 The development of trends to minimize energy costs to create a unit of product or service.

 Increasing requirements for environmental friendliness and efficient use of resources, including energy, in the operation of housing.

 Solving social problems of balanced economic development, including by creating conditions for providing citizens with affordable and high-quality housing.

 Increasing interest in housing autonomy and the use of “green” technologies to reduce the cost of maintaining buildings.

Materials And Methods:

As part of the study, foreign and Russian methods for developing housing innovation in the construction industry were studied in detail. Thus, most countries of the European Union, North and South America, as well as Australia, Japan and a number of Asian countries, realizing the importance and prospects for the development of innovative housing construction, have established the necessary management structures in their authorities. In particular, in the framework of international agreements, green building councils have been set up with headquarters in the UK.

Conclusion:

Taking into account the conducted research, it is proposed to focus the state’s strategic efforts on improving the management of innovations in the housing industry in the following areas:

1. Regulatory and legal incentives for the development of material production industries that specialize in creating new energy-saving and energy-processing construction materials and technologies by providing various benefits within the framework of a program-oriented approach and state subsidies.

2. Creating a favorable investment climate for financing innovative housing construction projects. It is proposed to Supplement the relevant legal acts with rules that provide tax, property, land benefits and deductions, as well as preferential loans and the application of accelerated depreciation rules for investors, developers, and manufacturers who ensure the development and implementation of innovative products at levels not lower than those approved by the authorities.

At the same time, the direct size of the implementation of the relevant innovations is proposed to be divided into several levels: basic, medium, and high, based on which to set the size of the corresponding benefits for the construction industry entities. This circumstance will ensure the desire of market participants to constantly improve their products and services, thereby forming a transition to an innovative vector of development of both the construction industry and related industries.
