Located at the southern foot of Mount Tai, there is a white horse stone village of more than 1,000 people. Since the second half of 2023, more than 10 villagers have been identified as "illegal construction" when building or renovating houses, and the law enforcement department of Taishan Scenic Area believes that they have "built without the review of the scenic area management agency". The villagers said, "I applied through legal channels, but no department accepted it."
The reporters of the public news assistant went to the local area twice to conduct investigations and interviews.
Zhao Chunhua (pseudonym), a villager in Baimashi Village, said that seeing the rainy season approaching, his home was leaking so much that it was difficult to live again. However, the procedures for repairing and renovating houses have been delayed.
When the reporter visited Baima Stone Village, he found that the main body of Zhao Chunhua's house had been completed, and there were obvious traces of capping. In addition, there are many houses in the village that show signs of construction, and all of them are in a state of suspension. Zhao Chunhua said that these semi-finished houses have been investigated and dealt with by the Taishan Scenic Area Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau as illegal construction, and their own houses are also under investigation.

The relevant person in charge of the law enforcement bureau of the scenic spot said that there were more than 10 illegal buildings in the village. "We are enforcing the law in accordance with the requirements of the Scenic Area Ordinance. Before the villagers carried out the construction, they did not declare and review, and there were other problems such as illegal expansion and covering, so these houses were identified as illegal construction in accordance with the law, and they were required to stop the construction and accept punishment. ”
The person in charge said that before the construction of the scenic area, the villagers need to declare to see if it will have an impact on the overall environment of the scenic spot. Violations of the law should be punished, and there should be no leeway.
The villager said: "My family's house did leak rain, and I decided to repair it in the second half of last year. Later, after being investigated and punished, he wanted to make up the procedures and continue to repair the house, but he made difficulties in the process of making up the procedures. ”
According to the materials provided by the villagers, in 2005, the Tai'an Municipal Government Office issued the "Notice of the Tai'an Municipal People's Government on Clarifying the Management Scope of Taishan Scenic Area", clarifying the management scope of the Taishan Scenic Area Management Committee, and excluding Baimashi, Sanhe, Xialiyuan and other villages in the management scope of economic, administrative and social affairs.
Officials from the law enforcement bureau of the scenic spot said that the investigation and punishment of illegal construction of some houses in Baimashi Village is legal and compliant, but they only have the right to enforce the law, and the specific application process for house repairs belongs to "economic, administrative and social affairs", and they have no right to manage it.
However, at the Taiqian Sub-district Office of Taishan District, where Baimashi Village is located, the staff of the Urban Construction Office told reporters that the repair of the houses of the villagers of Baimashi Village, north of Huanshan Road, is not under their management, and they need to consult the Taishan Scenic Area Management Committee.
A person familiar with the matter told reporters that in the past, some villagers in Baimashi Village had submitted applications for repairing their houses, and the application process to the scenic spot was relatively smooth, but in the past two or three years, the scenic spot no longer accepted the repair application, so it could not be reported, and the villagers had needs, so there was a phenomenon of illegal construction.
The reporter learned from the investigation that after the illegal construction in Baimashi Village, in December 2023, the Tai'an Municipal Land and Spatial Planning Review Committee listened to the report of the Municipal Bureau of Natural Resources and Planning on recent planning matters and construction projects, and made it clear that the villagers or units submitted applications to the village committee for house repair, and the village committee agreed to report to the sub-district office, and the sub-district office will review it in conjunction with the Taishan District Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, and then submit it to the Taishan Scenic Area Management Committee, led by the Ministry of Planning and Construction, together with the Hongmen Management Area, the Scenic Area Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau, The Planning Service Center (responsible for checking the architectural style) audits, implements five joint bills for filing, and implements law enforcement supervision by the Law Enforcement Bureau. It is necessary to strictly implement the management requirements of Taishan Scenic Area, and timely do a good job of copying to the Taishan District Party Committee and District Government.
The staff of the Taiqian Sub-district Office told reporters that the village renovation design plan involving Baimashi Village is being introduced and it will take time.
