Russians named important criteria for housing safety

Russians perceive security as a set of solutions, from technical equipment to repair features, according to a survey conducted by developer SK10, which was reviewed by Izvestia on May 26.

Every sixth respondent (17%) noted the importance of using fire-resistant finishing materials, and surveillance cameras were a priority for 13% of respondents. The intercom and fire doors mentioned 6% and 7% respectively. The majority (57%) of the study participants immediately noted the importance of all elements.

The respondents consider the most important factors that affect both the feeling in the space and the quality of the interior. High ceilings and durable materials scored an equal number of votes (18%). Natural colors and glass doors were indicated as significant by 10% and 8%, respectively. For 46% of respondents, the image of a "pleasant" entrance is influenced by a combination of all these options.

What risks does this mechanism have for those who want to improve their living conditions

Speaking about the disadvantages of public places, 30% of respondents pointed to the lack of surveillance cameras. At the same time, 14% of respondents clarified that there are not enough places to store strollers and bicycles. There are also those who are dissatisfied with the number of elevators (11%) and the lack of illumination of the entrances (8%).

"The entrance, the front door, the lobby — whatever we call the space from which the house begins, it directly affects the quality of people's lives. Therefore, residents especially appreciate its characteristics, which allow them to feel comfortable and safe. Many of the solutions identified by the survey participants can only be worked out at the design stage. This is a signal for developers that they need to carefully consider public spaces, taking into account the needs of future residents," said Sergey Kisterev, head of the commercial product department at the SK10 development company.

Earlier, on May 16, it was reported that every fifth Russian would like to put up for sale a cottage in order to buy an apartment in the capital. At the same time, one in three (33%) estimates their suburban real estate in the amount of 6 million to 10 million rubles, according to the results of a study by Level Group.
