Application of the «Reproductive Approach» for the Purpose of Solving the Housing Problem in Russia

The present study subject is to develop a model of the «reproductive approach» for the purpose of improving mechanisms of the housing problem solution. The authors perform an analysis of indicators reflecting housing stock dynamics with an application of mathematical statistics methods. The model takes an account of such factors as an influence of the amount of living space taken into and out of use, scope of total building renovation as well as a demographic situation. Partial derivatives of the function outlining the process of housing stock reproduction make up the basis of the «reproductive approach» model. The application of the model is illustrated by an example of Irkutsk Oblast. Introduction of the model at the macro-level will allow to regulate the housing provision dynamics by means of a balanced alteration in the scope of the reproduced housing. The article substantiates efficiency of comprehensive use of the main forms of the housing reproduction on the basis of the «reproductive approach».
