According to Ashkan Mirarmandehi (the CEO of Divar), the Ministry of Roads has not fulfilled its obligations in the field of connecting platforms to the real estate and housing system.
According to Iran digital economy annotation, in response to the publication of the “Warning of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development regarding the blocking of the real estate section of Divar and Sheypoor”, the CEO of “Divar” asked the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development to act on his threats while explaining the measures taken by this platform.
Ashkan Armandehi referring to the history of this incident said: Divar has been connected to the real estate and accommodation system since 18 Mehr 1402 and in the process of registering an ad, any user who wants to publish a property ad can use this system and receive It shows the matching of the national code with the postal code.
According to Armandhi, the problem is that the friends of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development have been stuck for several months on a matter of taste about the location of the login button in this system without considering the user interface design standards.
He added: “In a meeting held on 11 Shahrivar 1402 with the presence of the Minister of Communications, the commitment to create a connection portal to the real estate and housing system was determined for the platforms, and we fulfilled our commitment in the shortest possible time. In the same meeting, obligations were set for the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development, which have not been fulfilled so far.
Armandehi explained about the commitments of the Ministry of Roads: “Among the commitments of the ministry was that if someone other than the owner intends to advertise a property, he is allowed to publish the ad only if he enters the owner’s national code and mobile number when registering the ad on the platform. And after the approval of the owner, permission to publish the advertisement will be given.”
Armandehi continued: “Implementation of this issue is one of the duties of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development, but no action has been taken to specify this process so far.” I am surprised by the position of the friends of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development who only emphasize on the issue of blocking. “We have fulfilled our obligations for 7 months, and every user can see the connection portal to the real estate and accommodation system in the process of registering a property ad.”
The CEO of Divar also pointed to the technical problems of the web service of the real estate and accommodation system and said: “We wrote a letter to The head of the special digital economy working group has announced a number of flaws in the system and requested their correction.”
“In Bahman 1402 and after 4 months passed since the door of this system was added to Divar, after the meetings we had with the officials of the Ministry of Roads,In a letter to the head of the special working group for digital economy, we have announced a number of flaws in the system and requested their correction.”
According to him, “the delay in responding, the low rate of approval of the sent requests (only 10 percent), the wrong criteria for authentication, such as the fact that the user can verify his ad by using the postal code of an unrelated property, are among the flaws of this system. But so far no action has been taken to solve these issues.”
Armandehi also said: “Of course, we are used to this recurring situation, because since 1398, the devices that fail to perform their duties every year during this season, which is the peak period for tenants’ relocation, simply want to blame the platforms due to criticisms and complaints. . For several years, they said that the prices should be removed from the site, they ordered a suspension for one year, and now they are talking about blocking.”
The CEO of Divar added: “We have even prepared a list of those who have purposefully published unreal ads in the real estate sector, and we have started the process of suing them for violating the rights and wasting the time of our users. Because this issue is one of the main concerns of the Wall to increase the quality of ads.”
At the end, Armandehi emphasized: “We have also activated another system called Venify on 10 Azar 1402 to authenticate users who advertise properties. “Preventing the publication of unreal ads is one of our main goals and plans, and we welcome any action that is effective in achieving this goal, and we are ready to cooperate and interact for its implementation.”
