General Description 1.1 Project Background 1.1. I Project Source The proposed S328 Nanzhao-Funan-Yangqiao highway section is one of the highway maintenance component of Anhui Province applying for the World Bank loan. This component is selected from more than 400 highway sections totaling 8000km long, based on the comparison conducted by Anhui Provincial Communications Department of China. The criteria of selection for the highway maintenance component are: (1) Beneficial to the economic development in the poverty stricken areas; ( 2 ) Favorable to transportation centralization and decentralization of the main route (Hefei-Anqing Highway ) ; (3) Fitted for the provincial 1IOh five-year plan of highway improvement, and priority given to the sections which have started construction and completed tasks of subgrade widening or land acquisition under the 9' five year plan so as to improve efficiency of the whole route and the highway network; (4) The existing road sections cannot meet the increasing demand for transportation and need rehabilitation. (5) The average indicators (PQI) of road pavement quality are low and pavement is poor. S328 Nanzhao-Funan-Yangqiao section is located on the north of Huai River of Anhui Province where the major transportation relies only on road for there is no railway to reach these areas. Therefore the improvement of road pavement and the increase of the communication capacity directly relate with the local economic development and people's living quality. As the economy develops and the transportation increases, the existing road with low grade, narrow pavement and poor quality cannot mect the demands of economic development and transportation. Thus, Anhui Provincial Communications Department is applying for the World Bank loan (remaining volume) to support the rehabilitation of S328 Nanzhao-Funan- Yangqiao highway section for the sake of improving local condition of transportation to the outside. stimulating local economic development and bettering the people's life. According to the requirement of Anhui Provincial Communications Department of China, in July 2001, Anhui Provincial Highway Administration Bureau entrusted the job to Hefei Design & Research Institute, Ministry of Coal Industry, of environmental assessment and preparation of the environmental impact assessment on S328 Nanzhao-Funan- Yangqiao section of highway maintenance. 1.1.2 Status of Environmental Assessment The assessment unit, after accepting the entrustment, set up an environmental assessment group in July 2001. The group together with Anhui Provincial Highway Administration Bureau and Anhui Provincial Highway Survey and Design Institute carried out field visits and public participation and consultation along S328 Nanzhao--Funan- Yangqiao highway section. The group conducted deep field investigation relatingts environmental status and environmental protective targets along the section. Based on the site visits, data collection and further study of the I project feasibility study report and under the direction and assistance of the environmental experts of the World Bank, the group worked out the draft "Environmental Impact Report of S328 Nanzhao-Funan-Yangqiao section of Highway Maintenance Component of the World Bank- financed Anhui Provincial Highway Project of China". Now the report is submitted to the World Bank for review. 1.2 Aim of the Environmental Assessment The report shall make qualitative or quantitative anticipation analysis and assessment on the possible environmental impacts caused by the project construction, on the base of the investigation into the natural and social environment and environment quality within the assessment scope of S328 Nanzhao-Funan-Yangqiao section, and combined with the understanding of the environmental status and relative environmental issues along the section. The report shall point out the potential problems and propose effective and reasonable alleviating measure correspondingly. The alleviating measures shall be put into practice to reduce the environmental impact during the project construction and operation to the lowest degree. The following targets shall be reached as well. (1) Provide basis for the decision making relating the project, fairly and objectively identify and describe possible environmental impacts during the construction as well as the impacted scope and degree, so as to assure the rationality and appropriation of the construction and operation of the project. (2) Investigation result shall be presented in the report based on the understanding towards the public opinions via the investigation along the section. (3) Various measures of prevention; alleviation and reduction to the lowest degree of the negative impacts shall be proposed, established on the result of environmental impact anticipation and applicable compensation methods shall be proposed as well. The aim is to identify negative impact before the construction, raise attention in finalizing the design document and bid contract, and carry out the alleviation methods during the construction period. (4) The environmental assessment shall work as decision making reference, provided to the highway administration Bureaus and local government institutions along the section in making environmental administration plan and environmental development programs. 1.3 Report Preparation Basis 1.3.1 The World Bank Requirements (1) "Environmental Assessment" (OP4.01), the World Bank, January 1999. 1.3.2 The National Environmental

  • Dark Side of the Chinese Moon
    REVIEWS Chen Guidi and Wu Chuntao, Zhongguo nongmin diaocha [Survey of Chinese Peasants] People’s Literature Publication Company: Beijing 2004, 460 pp Publication suspended March 2004 Yang Lian DARK SIDE OF THE CHINESE MOON A growing literature in recent years has documented the disparity between rural and urban living standards in China, and the deteriorating situation of the country’s 900 million peasants. Li Changping’s bestselling Telling the Prime Minister the Truth, He Qinglian’s Modernization’s Pitfall and other pathbreaking works have explored the social costs of China’s headlong econ- omic development. Intellectual journals and the popular press alike have devoted acres of space to the crisis in the countryside. Amid this ferment, Chen Guidi and Wu Chuntao’s Survey of Chinese Peasants stands out for its vivid narratives of peasant life and for the real voices of the toilers that speak from its pages. Not only does it name the names, one after another, of the petty local tyrants whose abuses and brutalities make these agricultural labourers’ lives a living hell. The Survey also raises the underlying political question of how this situation came about. Chen and Wu—they are husband and wife—both come from peasant backgrounds, in Anhui and Hunan Provinces respectively, although they have made their careers as writers in the city. Wu had written warmly of her village childhood in an earlier essay, ‘Cherishing a Faraway Place’, while Chen, a novelist, had written on environmental questions. On 1 October 2000 they set out from Hefei, the provincial capital, some 500 miles south of Beijing, to explore the conditions of peasant life throughout the fifty-plus counties of Anhui, from the floodplains of the River Huai to the Yangtze Valley, travelling by bus or even on foot to reach the remotest villages.

  • Private Libraries in China: Their Diversity, Informatization, and Role As Public Spaces
    Private Libraries in China: Their Diversity, Informatization, and Role as Public Spaces Wang Zizhou 王子舟, Yin Peili 尹培丽, and Wu Hanhua 吴汉华 Abstract Private libraries in China—most of which were created by bottom-up processes, not top-down government mandates—offer a diversity of services to a range of constituencies. They offer individuals space for reading and study, information exchange, interpersonal com- munication, IT training, amusement, recreation, and entertainment. They offer schools and communities an aggregated abundance of social resources in a learning-centered atmosphere, which in turn enhances school- and community-based cooperation. For society as a whole, they offer support for the elimination of “knowledge poverty,” and a boost for public service and civil society. Thus they function, to some de- gree, as community informatization commons and community-based public space. Introduction The private libraries discussed in this paper are not-for-profit libraries founded by social entities including nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), corporations, and individuals. Private libraries provide free ser- vices just like public libraries. But they are either privately owned (as in libraries founded by individuals) or operated by private organizations (as in libraries founded by NGOs or corporations). This makes them dif- ferent from public libraries. They are not-for-profit, self-governed, and staffed by volunteers. And in mainland China, most private libraries are located in rural and urban low-income communities. In mainland China, the twenty-first century brought with it a rise in social consciousness about public welfare and charity and an influx of NGOs and private libraries. We set out to research these processes— specifically, the state of Chinese private libraries—in 2008.
