    Ligikaudu 70% kõigist leibkondadest Eestis elab korterelamus, mistõttu on aktuaalne kaasomandi valitsemine võimalikult otstarbekalt. Eestis on umbes 21 000 korteriomandite vormiks olevat kinnisasja ja umbes 470 000 korteriomandit. Korteriühistute ligikaudne arv on 9500 ning kortermaju, kus pole moodustatud ühistut on ligikaudu 11 500. Paljud korterelamud on valinud haldamisvormiks korteriühistu, kuid üle poolte korterelamutest majandab korteriomanike ühisusena, ehk reaalset valitsemist teostab majavalitseja. Korteriühisus tugineb oma tegevuses Korteriomandiseadusele. Korteriühistu tegevus on aga reguleeritud eeskätt Korteriühistuseadusega. Parimaks kortermaja valitsemisvormiks peetakse korteriühistut, mis on ka seadusandja poolt soositum vorm. Justiitsministeerium on algatanud seaduseelnõu, mille kohaselt alates 01. Jaanuarist 2016 muutub korteriühistu ainuvõimalikuks kortermaja haldamisvormiks. Töö eesmärgiks oli leida käesoleval hetkel parim haldamisvorm Elvas, Kirde 10 asuvale Korteriühisusele Kirde 10. See tähendab valikut, kas jätkata korteriühisusena või asutada korteriühistu. Töö eesmärgi saavutamiseks tugines autor erialakirjandusele, koostas korteriühisuse tulude ja kulude analüüsi aastatel 2009-2011 ning erinevaid valitsemisvorme võrdleva tulude ja kulude analüüsi. Nii korteriühistul, kui korteriühisusel on oma organid, mille kaudu ühisomandit valitsetakse. Korteriühistu organiteks on üldkoosolek, juhatus ning revisjonikomisjon. Korteriühisuse puhul on nendeks üldkoosolek, valitseja ning majanõukogu. Mõlemal juhul on kõrgeimaks organiks korteriomanike üldkoosolek, mille otsused võetakse vastu häälteenamusega. Oma olemuselt on mõlemad sunduslikud. Korteriühisus on vastava seadusega automaatselt loodud, ning iga korteriomanik on ühisuse liige. Korteriühistu puhul on tegemist sundühistuga, mis tähendab, et korteriühistut moodustades on selle liikmeteks kõik korteriomanikud, olenemata sellest, kas nad asutamiskoosolekul hääletasid ühistu asutamise poolt või vastu. Majandamisvariante on mõlema haldamisvormi puhul mitmeid. Valiku puhul on olulisemaks kriteeriumiteks korterelamu eripärad (korteriomandite arv, elanike meelsus, nende majanduslik seis jne.) ning säästu saavutamine. Kas asutada korteriühistu või mitte, tuleneb mitmetest asjaoludest. Eeskätt on vaja aktiivseid korteriomanikke, kes oskavad näha korteriühistu eeliseid, selgitavad neid ka teistele ning on valmis võtma enda kanda juhatuse kohustused ning vastutuse. Bakalaureusetööst selgub, et korteriühistu eelisteks on selgem seadusandlik baas, elanike omanditunde tõus, läbipaistvam majandamine ning õige majandamisvormi valiku puhul ka säästu saavutamine. Kuna kommunaalteenuste (küte, vesi- ja kanalisatsioon, üldelekter, prügivedu) hindu ei mõjuta haldamisvormi valik ning remondifondi vajalikkus ning maksete suurus sõltuvad üldkoosoleku otsusest, siis on eesmärgiks säästu saavutamine eelkõige hooldustasus, mis sisaldab ka haldustasu. Kirde 10 puhul on võimlik korteriühistu asutamisel ning isemajandamisel saavutada hooldustasudes kuni 19% -line sääst. Sääst tuleneb sellest, et korteriühistuna ise majandades ei lisandu hoolduskuludele riigimakse, palgakulu (v.a juhatuse esimehe tasu) ning kasumiosa. Korteriühistu liikmetega koostööd tehes saab paljud vajalikud hooldustööd kortermajas ise ära või teha palju odavamalt. Korteriühistu puudustena võib välja tuua korteriühistu asutamise formaalse keerukuse, osakapitali nõude olemasolu ning juhatuse vastutuse probleemide tekkimisel. Puuduseks võib pidada ka raamatupidamiskohustuse tekkimist, millega kaasnevad ka täiendavad kulud. Teisest küljest on raamatupidamisest võimalik saada detailne info korterelamu tulude ja kulude kohta, seega võrreldes praegu korterelamuna valitsejat kasutades majandades, saada selgem ja ülevaatlikum info majandamisest. Korteriühisusel Kirde 10 on olemas korteriühistu loomiseks ning toimimiseks vajalikud eeldused: on olemas initsiatiivgrupp, majaelanikud on valmis koostööks ning autori koostatud arvutustele tuginedes saavutatakse eesmärgipärane sääst kodukuludes.The topic of this BA thesis is: Choice of Administrative Form of Apartment House Based on the Example of the Community of Apartment Owners at Kirde 10. Author of this thesis is Anu Nigol. The thesis is written in Estonian and the capacity of the paper is fifty five pages. The thesis is illustrated by one figure and seven tables. The author used thirty-five different sources of data in writing the paper. Choice of administrative form is a burning topic among the apartment owners because residents have become more aware and price sensitive. According to the data of 2011, there are about 21,000 apartment buildings in Estonia, 55% of them administer their houses as community of apartment owners and 45% have formed an apartment association. The sums residents spend on their homes have increased every year as well as the public pressure to form apartment associations. It is possible to administer the common interest of an apartment ownership as an apartment association or as a community of apartment owners. The aim of this thesis is to find the best current administrative form for the community of apartment owners at Kirde 10. The subject matter of this thesis is a three-storied apartment building at Kirde 10 in Elva. The building has three staircases and was built in 1975. The area of the apartment house is 1017.9 square meters, each floor has six apartments. 18 apartment ownerships have been registered in land register and 40 permanent residents dwell in these. The building is administered as a community of apartment owners and Elva Varahalduse OÜ was chosen as the administrator of the building. The thesis investigates how the apartment association is formed and what kind of obligations and expenses come with it. The author of this paper analyzed the income and expenses of the community of apartment owners during 2009 and 2011. The paper presents advantages and disadvantages of forming apartment association. As a result of a comparative analysis of income and expenses of different administrative forms, the author found out the economic usefulness of administrative forms. In order to form an apartment association, there has to be active apartment owners who are able to see the advantages of apartment association, explain these to others and are willing to take on the obligations and responsibilities of the board of association. The advantages of apartment association are clear legislative basis, increase of sense of ownership, transparent administration and saving money if the right form of administration is chosen. The disadvantages might be the formal complexity of establishing an apartment association and the requirement to have holding. It becomes apparent in the thesis that apartment association has more advantages than disadvantages and when administrating the building on their own, the owners are able to save money and decrease the sums they spend on their homes up to 19 %

    Intervjuu Anu Rauaga / Interview with Anu Raud

    Anu Raud (born in Russia, May 10, 1943) is an Estonian textile artist and author. She is a long-time lecturer at the Estonian Academy of Arts and Viljandi Culture Academy. On the occasion of Raud’s 75th birthday, Helen Kästik and Ave Matsin sat down with her to look back on her life and work as an artist. Even though much has been written about the work of Anu Raud, its main focus has been on her tapestries as carriers of the idea of national identity. The mundane practical aspects of crafting and the social position of the craftsperson have received a lot less attention. These were the topics that were discussed at Kääriku Farm in June, driven by the conviction that the professional choices of an outstanding artist allow us to draw conclusions about the position of art based on heritage craft in both Soviet and independent Estonia. While studying textile art at the State Art Institute, Raud developed a keen interest in ethnographic material thanks to the encouragement of her teachers Mari Adamson and Leila Pärtelpoeg. After graduating in 1967, she was assigned work at the national handicrafts manufacturing association Uku, which had been founded the previous year. Uku was based on an ingenious idea: to provide work to skilled craftspersons all over Estonia in order to preserve and popularise traditional handicraft. As the lead artist for Kihnu, Ruhnu and Southern Estonia, Anu Raud coordinated the work of crafts-people in these regions and went on collection trips to draw inspiration for the design of items based on traditional handicraft. In 1972, Anu Raud returned to the National Institute of Arts, this time as a lecturer, which also gave her more time for personal creative projects. Her work consists of more than a hundred tapestries that have been displayed at nearly 70 solo exhibitions. In April 2018, the Estonian National Museum opened the exhibition Landscapes of My Fatherland on the occasion of her 75th birthday. Raud emphasises that there is a clear message in all of her works: „All tapestries I make bear the scent or at the least a tiny taste of Estonia.“ The tapestries of Anu Raud are a clear expression of her values and show her intimate connection to her homeland, its nature and the culture of its past. Her style is characterised by subtle play of colours and the skilful use of elements from national crafts. The restoration of Estonian independence was followed by a turbulent period in the fates of both the republic and Anu Raud herself. Her work at the National Institute of Arts came to an end and her family was forced to move out of their apartment in Tallinn when it was returned to its former owners. After moving to her father’s home farm at Kääriku near Viljandi, Raud needed to find a new job. In 1994, she became the first head of the newly-opened department of farm design and national crafts at the Viljandi Culture College. While living at Kääriku, she has dedicated a lot of energy to the promotion of the region. Her rich collection of traditional handicraft accumulated over the years is kept at the nearby Heimtali Museum; for the 100th anniversary of the Estonian National Museum, Anu Raud gifted the Heimtali Museum of Domestic Life to the Republic of Estonia. Anu Raud has had a remarkable career and the attention she has received in connection to folk culture is extraordinary. Since 2009, Raud has been a Professor Emeritus of the National Academy of Arts and an honorary member of the Estonian Artists Association; in 2016, she was elected to the EstonianAcademy of Sciences. She has received numerous awards, including the Order of the White Star, 3rd Class (1998), the Kristjan Raud Award (1978, 1994), several awards from the Cultural Endowment of Estonia, the University of Tartu award for contribution to national identity (2013), National Culture Award (2014), and the National Lifetime Achievement Award (2018)

    Development and the G20

    Get PDF
    This publication examines what role the G20 can play in international development. Key findings: Development is a key component of the G20, but there are concerns over the effectiveness of the current development agenda. The criticism includes that the development agenda is too diffuse and mostly distant to the G20’s main activities. But the G20 development agenda has made progress in some important areas, including increasing the resources of the international financial institutions, infrastructure, food security, financial inclusion and reducing the cost of remittances. However development and global economic issues cannot be treated in isolation; development must be ‘mainstreamed’ and clearly seen as part of the G20’s core agenda. To the extent that Australia can help strengthen the G20 when it assumes the chair in 2014, and make tangible progress in such areas as - economic growth, financial regulation, trade, financial inclusion, infrastructure and climate change financing – it can make a significant contribution to promoting development and reducing poverty.
