Executive Summary

1. Background The Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway Project, an ADB financed project, has a route length of about 139.061km, and will be built as an expressway with a design speed of 120km/hour and a roadbed width of 27.0 meters. The project will commence in January 2011 and be completed in December 2013, with a construction period of about 3 years. The implementation plan for land acquisition, house demolition, compensation and resettlement will be put into practice in October 2010, and completed by December 2013. The estimated resettlement expenses of the project are 681.121 million yuan (based on prices of 2011), including basic expenses for land acquisition (occupation) and house demolition, relevant taxes and unexpected expenses, accounting for 10.9% of the whole project budget. 2. Resettlement impacts The main impacts of the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway Project are acquisition of collective land, allocation of state-owned land ,demolition of rural residential houses and temporary land occupation, and no relocation of entity is involved. The land acquisition and resettlement of the project involves 62 villages in 18 Xiangs/towns of Lingbi County, Sixian County, Wuhe County, Fengtang country and Mingguang City, Anhui Province, affecting 10,458 households with 39,731 persons; 10,655.079 mu of collective land will be acquired, including 9,169.386 mu of arable land and gardens, affecting 10,148 households with 38,561 persons; residential houses of 71,644.23 m2 will be demolished, affecting 532 households with 2,011 persons (in which 222 households with 841 persons are also affected by land acquisition); 9,298.23 mu of land will be occupied temporarily, affecting 10,368 households with 38,963 persons temporarily. In addition, the main resettlement impacts of the extension line of the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway (6km, in Jiangsu Province) are acquisition of collective land and temporary land occupation, involving 3 villages in Shuanggou Town, Huining County, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, where 407 mu of collective land will be acquired, affecting 1,227 people out of 317 households; 225 mu of collective land will be occupied temporarily, affecting 681 people out of 178 households temporarily. Although it is an associated component of this Project, it will be entirely financed and implemented by Jiangsu Province and the same principles as the indicated in the RP will be followed. 3. Policy framework and entitlements To avoid or minimize the negative impacts of land acquisition, the affected villager teams and displaced persons have been consulted on the selection of the relocation sites at the feasibility study stage, and the optimum option has been chosen through comparative selection. This Resettlement Plan has been formulated in accordance with the Land Management Law of the People’s Republic of China (2004), the Decision of the State Council on Deepening Reform and Exercising Strict Land Management (Guo Fa [2004] No.28), the applicable policies of Anhui Province (e.g., Notice on the Adjustment of the Compensation Standards for Land for Expressway Construction and House Demolition (Wan Jiao Ji [2007] No.17)), Notice of the Anhui Provincial Government on Promulgating the Compensation Rates for Land Acquisition of Anhui Province (APG [2009] No.132), ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement and policies on social security. The resettlement principles of the project are as follows based on the above policies and through consultation with the local governments and the affected people: (1) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible; (2) The affected people are granted compensation and rights that can at least maintain or even improve their livelihoods in the absence of the project; (3) The affected people are

given compensation and assistance in resettlement whether legal title is available or not; (4) If the land available to everyone is insufficient to maintain his/her livelihood, replacement in cash or in kind and other income-generating activities are provided for the lost land; (5) The affected people fully understand their entitlements, the method and standard of compensation, the livelihood and income restoration plan, and the project schedule, and participate in the implementation of the Resettlement Plan; (6) No land should be acquired before the affected people are satisfied with the compensation and resettlement (plan); (7) The executing agency and an independent agency / third party should monitor the compensation, relocation and resettlement operations; (8) The vulnerable groups (including women) are provided special assistance or treatment so that they lead a better life, and all affected people should have an opportunity to benefit from the project; (9) The Resettlement Plan is consistent with the master plans of the affected counties and towns; and (10) The resettlement expenses are sufficient to cover all affected aspects. 4. Resettlement compensation and restoration measures For permanent land acquisition, compensation includes land compensation fees, resettlement subsidies and young crop compensation fees. In the project counties, the uniform annual output value for arable land is 1,350-1,480 yuan/mu. For farmland, land compensation fees are 6-7 times of the uniform annual output value and resettlement subsidies 14-15 times. For land for construction and unused land, land compensation fees are 5 times of the uniform annual output value and resettlement subsidies 5-6 times. Temporary land occupation includes that for borrow pits and other purposes. The compensation for temporary land occupation includes compensation for young crops / ground annexes, and land reclamation fee. Land occupied temporarily for borrow pits is compensated for at a time at 12,000 yuan/mu for arable land or 4,000 yuan/mu for unused land; and the compensation standard for arable land occupied temporarily for other purposes is 4,000 yuan/mu· year. The occupation period will be 2 years. The compensation for non-arable land shall be determined by reference to that for arable land; land reclamation fee is 4,000 yuan/mu, and no land reclamation fee is available for unused land. Occupation of arable land should be avoided in the temporary land occupation for borrow pits. If this is unavoidable, low-lying land and derelict land with lower output value and likely to be affected by inland inundation should be occupied where possible. Borrow pits can be restored as flood regulating and storage ponds or fishponds. The compensation rates for the demolition of residential houses are: multi-storied houses: 580-710 yuan/m2, brick and tile single-storied houses: 450-650 yuan/m2, brick and thatch single-storied houses: 450-530 yuan/m2, semi-brick-tile single-storied houses: 440-530 yuan/m2, earth wall tile roof single-storied houses350-450 yuan/m2, earth wall thatch roof single-storied houses: 280-450 yuan/m2, simple structure: 180-380 yuan/m2, moving subsidy 500 yuan/person and transition subsidy: 3 yuan/m2·month2. The measures for income restoration of the affected people include cash compensation, provision of technical training and priority in employment, etc. Since permanent land acquisition is caused by road construction mainly, the impacts of the project are in a linear form. Based on statistical analysis, though the amount of land acquisition is relatively large, it is scattered and has moderate impact on the regular agricultural production of rural households. According to the different socioeconomic backgrounds of AVs, the use and relocation of land acquisition fees including land compensation and resettlement subsidy which will be determined by village meeting is also different. In general, land compensation and resettlement could be disbursed to

2 Based on the actual transition period, fixed temporarily at 6 months

affected households directly, collective villagers or invested by the collectives. The crop compensation will be paid to affected households directly. When they get the compensation, the affected households will use the compensation fees for land improvement and the expanded reproduction of household sidelines. Borrow pits can be restored by turning them into fishponds, irrigation ponds or garbage landfills. Demolished houses can be restored by property right exchange or self-demolition and self-building. Anhui Provincial Communications Investment Group Company (ACIG) will arrange a special fund for the technical training of the labor force of the affected households (in which the female labor force is about 50%) together with the labor and social security authorities of the affected counties and cities. In the meantime, a special fund will be set up to support the vulnerable groups, with a total amount of 1,397,600 yuan (0.3% of the total resettlement expenses). ACIG will use this fund specifically to support the vulnerable groups affected by the project together with the labor and social security, and civil affairs authorities of the affected counties and cities. 5. Public participation and information disclosure All affected people have been informed of the key information of the Resettlement Plan in many ways, such as meeting, interview, villager team discussion, public participation meeting and community consultation (with 30% being women), and involved in the project through the above activities. Their opinions have been taken into account in the Resettlement Plan. The resettlement information booklet and the Resettlement Plan will be distributed to the affected people or village by the end of March 2011 and the draft Resettlement Plan will be published on the ADB website by the end of March 2011. An appeal channel has been established, and all agencies will accept complaints and appeals from the affected people free of charge, and all costs reasonably incurred will be disbursed from the contingency expenses of the project. 6. Complaints and appeals An appeal procedure has been formulated to settle disputes over compensation and other resettlement benefits for the purpose of responding to the affected people’s complaints timely and transparently. Possible complaints may arise from the acquisition of collective land, temporary land occupation and house demolition, etc. In this respect, the Anhui Provincial Communications Department (APCD), the highway administration bureaus of all levels and the affected town governments and village committees will coordinate and settle complaints and appeals possibly arising from the resettlement process. The displaced persons may file an appeal for any aspect of resettlement, including compensation standards. 7. Organization The APCD Foreign-funded Project Management Office (PMO) is the executing agency of the project, ACIG is the implementing agency of the project, and the relevant communications bureaus (headquarters) of all levels and town governments will be responsible specifically for the implementation of the Resettlement Plan. 8. Monitoring, evaluation and reporting To ensure the successful implementation of the Resettlement Plan, the project will perform internal and external monitoring of the implementation of resettlement. The internal monitoring agency of the project is the Anhui PMO. Internal monitoring will be executed jointly by ACIG and other competent authorities (e.g., land and resources bureau). A monitoring report will be submitted to ADB semiannually. The Anhui PMO will entrust an independent monitoring agency to perform external monitoring and evaluation semiannually. The monitoring and evaluation expenses will be included in the estimate of resettlement expenses.

9. Budget for resettlement expenses All expenses incurred during land acquisition and resettlement will be included in the general budget of the project. Based on prices of January 2010, the total resettlement expenses of the project are 681,121,900 yuan, including 186.134 million yuan for Lingbi (27.33%), 229,205,900 yuan for Sixian county(33.65%), 172,307,200 yuan for Wuhe county (25.30%), 80,144,900 yuan for Mingguang (11.77%) and 13,329,700 yuan for Fengyang County (1.96%), or including expenses for the acquisition of rural collective land of 312.902 million yuan (45.94%), compensation for temporary land occupation of 125,733,080 yuan (18.46%), compensation for demolition of rural residential houses of 44,621,400 yuan (6.55%), compensation for infrastructure and ground attachments of 30.869 million yuan (4.53%), and taxes and management fees of 166,996,400 yuan (24.52%).

1 Overview

1.1 Brief description of the project

1.1.1 Background of the project

During the Tenth Five-year Plan period, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council proposed the strategic decision to promote the economic and social development and the rise of central China with a view to promoting the balanced development of different regions and the interaction between eastern, central and western China, realizing the complementation of advantages and joint development, giving full play to the development potential of central China, driving China’s economic development and opening up, and accelerating China’s industrialization and urbanization, and building a well-being society in all aspects. In 2005, with a view to promoting the rise of central China and the balanced development of different regions, the Ministry of Communications prepared the Outline of the Development Plan to Promote the Rise of Central China and the Development of Highway and Water Transport. In the same year, in order to grasp opportunities to rise and based on the principles of fulfilling the eastward development strategy and intensifying the traffic links with the Yangtze River Delta, the Anhui Provincial Government enacted the Key Points of Expressway Network Planning of Anhui Province. The project is included in the above planning. On December 18, 2006, in order to strengthen the regional traffic cooperation between Anhui and Jiangsu Provinces, and promote the balanced development of inter-provincial traffic, the governments of both provinces entered into a cooperative agreement on further strengthening traffic cooperation. According to this agreement, Anhui Province will further strengthen the construction of eastward traffic trunks in implementing its eastward development strategy; Jiangsu Province will support Anhui’s eastward development, and assist Anhui in the construction of eastward traffic trunks. During the Eleventh Five-year Plan period, both provinces will strengthen the connection of inter-provincial expressways, and endeavor to build 6 expressways including the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway. In early 2007, the Anhui Development and Reform Commission published the Outline of the Economic and Social Development Plan of the Urban Agglomeration along the Huaihe River during the Eleventh Five-year Plan Period, specifying the guidelines, basic principles and development objectives for the economic and social development of the urban agglomeration along the Huaihe River (including Suzhou, Bengbu, Huaibei, etc.), and proposing that a sound integrated traffic network would be established, and many expressways including the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway would be built. In early 2008, the State Development and Reform Commission planned a number of optional ADB financed projects, and required that the preliminary work for the relevant projects should be accelerated. The Anhui section of the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway was included in planning. In June 2008, the ADB Technical Assistance Fact-Finding Mission visited Anhui Province, discussed the Anhui Road Network Development Project (including the Anhui section of the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway) included in ADB’s Country Partnership Strategy for 2010 with the competent authorities, and generated a memorandum. On November 11, 2009, the Anhui Provincial Development and Reform Commission gave a reply on the detailed design of the project (APDRC Design [2009] No.199). According to the detailed design, the route of the project starts from around

Liangzhuang north of Lingbi County and east of Cuilou on the Jiangsu-Anhui border, runs southward through Chaoyang, Yugou, Damiao, Changgou, Caogou and Dinghu, crosses Tuohu Lake, crosses the Huaihe River at Xiaoxi Town, Wuhe County, runs along the west side of National Highway G104, and ends near Gangji, Guangming City, where it is connected with the Mingguang-Bengbu section of the Nanjing-Luoyang Expressway, with a full length of about 139.061 km.

1.2 Social and economic benefits

The social and economic benefits of the project are as follows: 1) Promoting the rise of central China and the implementation of Anhui’s eastward development strategy, and accelerating the integration into the Yangtze River Delta The proposed project is an integral part of the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway, an inter-provincial highway between Jiangsu and Anhui, and has been included in the Outline of the Development Plan to Promote the Rise of Central China and the Development of Highway and Water Transport of the Ministry of Communications. The project will create a high-speed traffic link from Xuzhou to Nanjing, and another shortcut that connects Shandong, north Jiangsu and northeast Anhui to Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Shanghai and other parts of the Yangtze River Delta. It is significant for strengthening the economic ties between the underdeveloped central provinces and the developed eastern coastal regions, especially the Yangtze River Delta Economic Circle, converting the resource advantage of central China into an economic advantage, shortening the economic gap between the regions, promoting the rise of central China, implementing Anhui’s eastward development strategy, accelerating the integration into the Yangtze River Delta, and building a harmonious society and a well-being society in all aspects. 2) Promoting the rise of central China and the expressway network plan, and intensifying the expressway network At the end of 2005, the Anhui Provincial Government enacted the Key Points of Expressway Network Planning of Anhui Province. In the future, an expressway network composed of “4 longitudinal and 8 transverse expressways” will be created in the province. The project is located in northeast Anhui, connecting Lingbi, Sixian, Wuhe and Mingguang, and is an integral part of the “first longitudinal expressway” in the “4 longitudinal and 8 transverse expressways”; it has great significance for improving Anhui’s expressway network system gradually, increasing eastward export, and strengthening inter-provincial ties. 3) Promoting the economic development of the areas along the route, and accelerating the development of the urban agglomeration along the Huaihe River The project runs through Sixian and Lingbi Counties of Suzhou City, Wuhe County of Bengbu City and Mingguang City of Chuzhou City. There is still an economic gap between the areas along the route and the surrounding areas, especially the Yangtze River Delta. Statistics show that since the Tenth Five-year Plan period, the average GDP growth of the counties (cities) along the route is 5.3%-9.2%, lower than the average level of Anhui Province (annual average GDP growth 10.6%); per capita GDP was about 5,776 yuan in 2006, 57.4% of Anhui’s average level (10,055 yuan) only; and Lingbi and Sixian Counties are province-level key counties for poverty relief and development. The project will expand the effective demand of the 3 counties (Lingbi, Sixian and Wuhe) and one city (Mingguang) along the route, increase job opportunities, and drive economic growth, and help improve the efficiency of the integrated transport system and the investment environment, thereby producing far-reaching positive influence on regional economic development. Suzhou and Bengbu Cities run through by the project are an integral part of the urban agglomeration along the Huaihe River, which consists of the 6 cities of Huaibei, Bozhou, Suzhou, Bengbu, Fuyang and Huainan as well as Huoqiu and Shouxian Counties of Lu’an City, with a land area of about 1/3 of the province, and a total population of about 1/3 of the province; this region boasts a significant resource advantage, and rich mineral and labor resources. Since the Tenth Five-year Plan

period, the economic strength of this region has been improving, new progress has been made in infrastructure construction and the development of basic industries, and the degree of opening up has been improving; however, issues such as small total economic volume, low level of industrial structure, weak industrial foundation, and low degree of industrialization and economic opening up still exist. The project will help further strengthen the traffic and economic ties between the cities (counties) along the route, the urban agglomeration along the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River Delta, and has great significance in promoting the economic development of the cities (counties) along the route, giving full play to the advantage of rich agricultural, labor and mineral resources, driving the construction of industrial parks, building an industry cluster of further processing of farm and sideline products, strengthening the light textile industry cluster, supporting the development of a new building material industry cluster, and improving the opening up level of this region. 4) Building the most convenient high-speed traffic link between Xuzhou and Nanjing, and saving social resources There are two main high-speed traffic links between Xuzhou and Nanjing, which are the Xuzhou-Bengbu Section of the Beijing-Taipei National Expressway to the Bengbu-Nanjing Section of the Nanjing-Luoyang National Expressway, and the Nanjing-Suzhou-Xuzhou Expressway. After the completion, the project will become the most convenient high-speed traffic links between Xuzhou and Nanjing, whose operating mileage is shorter than the two existing links by about 40km, greatly improving the traffic between the central city Xuzhou in northern Jiangsu and Nanjing, the sub-center of the Yangtze River Delta. The project will facilitate the creation of a convenient traffic link from Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Shangqiu and Zhengzhou Cities of Henan to Nanjing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, have great practical significance in shortening the spatial and temporal distance among cities, saving social resources, and improving transport efficiency and service level, and is an important measure of improving the regional expressway network.

1.3 Investment estimate and implementation plan of resettlement

The construction investment in the project is about 6.245 billion yuan, which will be raised from the following 3 sources: ADB lending, domestic bank lending and funds raised by the employer. The resettlement expenses are 681.122 million yuan, accounting for 10.9% of total investment, all being domestic counterpart funds. The overall construction period of the project is 3 years, from January 2011 to December 2013. In conformity with the construction period, the Resettlement Implementation Plan will be implemented from December 2010 to the end of 2013.

2 Impacts of the Project

2.1 Measures to avoid or minimize land acquisition and house demolition

2.1.1 Principles for design and relocation site selection of the project

Land acquisition and house demolition will be minimized at the construction stage on the following principles: ¾ Avoiding or minimizing the occupation of existing and planned residential areas; ¾ Avoiding or minimizing the occupation of high-quality arable land; ¾ Utilizing existing national and local roads to lead to the proposed construction area; and ¾ Avoiding or minimizing the occupation of environmentally sensitive zones. ¾ Involve affected people in detailed design of alignment and passageways and selection of borrow pits to minimize resettlement impacts.

2.1.2 Comparative selection of options

According to the overall direction of the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway, and in consideration of the layout of cities and towns, overall transport layout, and geographic and geological conditions along the route, and the social impacts, land acquisition and house demolition of the project, the design agency has demonstrated and compared the 3 routing options of the project. In the comparative selection, measures to avoid the impact of land acquisition and house demolition have been well considered. The number of lanes has been reduced from 6 to 4, reducing land acquisition and house demolition; on the other hand, to reduce the environmental impact on the Tuohu Reserve, the Tuohu section has been optimized to avoid house demolition. The measures to avoid resettlement of the project are shown in Table 2-1. In addition, during the detailed design stage, the measures to avoid or minimize land acquisition and house demolition will be further optimized through further consultation with affected people.

Land occupied temporarily will be identified by the affected people based on the construction needs during the construction period. ¾ Demolition of buildings: buildings within the red line, including masonry concrete, masonry timber and earth timber residential houses, masonry concrete, masonry timber and earth timber buildings used by enterprises, stores and schools, etc., flat grounds, wells, enclosures and tombs, etc. ¾ Affected ground attachments: ground annexes within the red line, including fruit trees, miscellaneous trees and young crops on arable land ¾ Affected infrastructure: demolished or damaged power, communication and water conservancy facilities ¾ Affected population: households whose tangible and intangible properties are lost wholly or partially due to the project. In the project, this includes households with any land, building or affected ground attachments located within the red line, and households whose livelihoods are lost wholly or partially due to the project.. ¾ Affected collective: Any collective with any land, building or affected ground annex located within the red line ¾ Type of impact: impact of land acquisition for any land within the red line, impact of house demolition for any building or ground annex within the red line, and impact of housing for any affected living condition

2.4 Methods and process of survey

During August-November 2008, the engineering technicians of the Anhui Provincial Communications Planning, Survey and Design Institute conducted a survey

of the affected physical indicators in the affected areas with the assistance of the affected villages and villagers as required by ADB to learn the resettlement impacts of the project. From December 2008 to March 2009, the resettlement survey team of Anhui Communications Vocational & Technical College (ACTVC) and Hohai University conducted a sampling survey of the social and economic conditions of the rural households (1,359 households, accounting for 11.3% of all affected households) in the areas affected by land acquisition and house demolition. The survey covered household population, impacts of land acquisition and house demolition, household economic condition and willingness for resettlement, etc. In January 1, 2011, Hohai University conducted an update survey of the RP. During the survey, the survey team also listened to the opinions of the village committees and the villagers about land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement, and conducted extensive consultation. The main findings were as follows: 1) Almost all affected rural households welcome the project and know the project will be commenced soon. 2) Almost all affected households thought the impacts of land acquisition to them were slight. After land acquisition, they could cultivate the remaining land and prefer to cash compensation, 3) Although the Project involves 5 counties, the affected households thought the uniform compensation rate should be established to show the fairness; 4) The compensation should be disbursed in time and transparently and intermediate links should be minimized as much as possible; 5) Prior to house demolition, it should arrange the house relocation site and disburse the compensation.

2.5.2 Impact analysis of acquisition of collective land

The villages affected by the project have 404,461 mu of arable land in total before land acquisition, 1.545 mu per capita, and 9,141.1005 mu of arable land will be acquired in the project, with an impact rate of 2.0%. After land acquisition, per capita arable area will be 1.51 mu. Since the project involves road reconstruction in a linear distribution, the people affected by land acquisition will lose part of their land only. A comparative analysis of the arable land of the affected villages before and after land acquisition has been made according to the social and economic survey. Among the 62 affected villages, none has a land loss rate of over 10%, and land loss rate ranges from 9.44% (Mingxi Sub-district, Mingguang City) to 0.16% (Guanyintang Village, Zaoxiang Town, Fengyang County). Generally, the affected villages have a very low land loss rate. In terms of crops, the affected villages in Lingbi and Sixian Counties grow wheat and corn mainly, and those in Wuhe County and Mingguang City not only grow wheat and corn mainly, but also grow paddy rice. In terms of income loss, per capita loss ranges from 405.65 yuan (Jiuxianwan Village, Chengguan Xiang, Wuhe County) to 129.01 yuan (Fangtai Village, Toupu Town, Wuhe County). An analysis of the villages affected by land acquisition is shown in Table 2-4. According to survey and calculation, among the 38,561 people from 10,148 households affected by land acquisition, 2,222 people from 529 households have a land loss rate of 0~9%, 34,033 people from 9,050 households have a land loss rate of 10~19%, 2,306 people from 569 households have a land loss rate of above 20%. Among the 514 households with a land loss rate of 0~9%,8 households (1.5%) have less than 1 mu of arable land, 51 households (9.9%) have 1-3 mu, 148 households (28.9%) have 3-5 mu, and 307 households (59.7%) have over 5 mu. Among the 9,125 households with a land loss rate of 10~19%, 132 households (1.4%) have less than 1 mu of arable land, 907 households (9.9%) have 1-3 mu, 2,626 households (28.8%) have 3-5 mu, and 5,460 households (59.8%) have over 5 mu. Among the 509 households with a land loss rate of above 20%, 7 households (1.4%) have less than 1 mu of arable land, 50 households (9.8%) have 1-3 mu, 147 households (29.0%) have 3-5 mu, and 305 households (59.8%) have over 5 mu. The analysis of the degree of impact of the households affected by land acquisition is shown in Table 2-5 and Table 2-6. In addition, the affected areas are labor export areas, where most of the labor goes to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai for employment. They usually have an employment period of about 9 months a year, and return during the busy season of farming and the Spring Festival only. Going out for employment has become an important source of income of the affected households in the affected areas. In sum, the land acquisition of the project has relatively little impact on the regular agricultural production and agricultural income of the rural households.

According to the field survey, all the households affected by land acquisition ask for cash compensation and have the following willingness for resettlement: a) Readjust the structure of crop cultivation from one focused on cereal crops with low economic efficiency into one focused on crops with higher economic efficiency, such as vegetables and sweet potato, or increase the scale of stockbreeding (pig, cattle and sheep, etc.), or develop household sideline operations, chosen by 1,959 households, accounting for 19.3% of all households affected by land acquisition; b) Utilize the development opportunities brought by the expressway and invest land compensation fees in small businesses, such as catering, general merchandise and repair, to increase household income, chosen by 852 households, accounting for 8.4%; c) Use land compensation fees for skills learning and training, and to look for job opportunities from the outside, chosen by 7,337 households, accounting for 72.3%. The restoration plan for the impacts of land acquisition is shown in Table 2-7.

2.7 Temporary land occupation

Temporary land use for construction means land occupied temporarily during the construction period, including borrow pits, production, living areas and roads occupied temporarily during construction. All land occupied temporarily by the project is collective land, with a total area of 9,298.63 mu, affecting 38,963 people out of 10,368 households temporarily, including 2,742.9 mu in Lingbi County (29.5%); 3,705.93 mu in Sixian County (39.85%); 2,232.9 mu in Wuhe (24.01%); 440.7 mu in Mingguang (4.74%),and 176.2mu in fengyang(1.89%). In terms of land type, 484.5 mu of paddy field (5.21%), 8,329.88 mu of dry land (89.58%), and 484.25 mu of unused land (5.21%) will be occupied temporarily. The average period of temporary occupation is 2 years. The impacts of temporary land occupation are shown in Table 2-9. Among all the land occupied temporarily by the project, borrow pits will occupy 5,425.73 mu (58.35%). Borrow pits will be located in mountain land or unused land where possible to

avoid any adverse impact on rural households. If occupation of arable land is unavoidable, the following principals would be taken: (i) avoid creating unusable land and adverse environmental impacts, (ii) the selection of sites for borrow areas and spoil areas should include consultation with affected villages and should be in accordance with the township/ villages master plans, land use plans and the new countryside construction plans; (iii) the sites should be concentrated and the impact on arable land should be minimized; (iv) where possible, site should be selected in low-lying land with bad soil quality; (v) according to the wills of local people, local geographical conditions and environmental regulations, the deep excavations could be restored as part of the local canal system, fishponds, farmland or landfill through different construction methods.

2.10.2 Affected vulnerable groups

For the purpose of the project, vulnerable groups mean the disabled, Wubao, widows, low-income or poor person and ethnic minorities. Based on the survey, the affected population is composed entirely of Han people. The main vulnerable groups affected by the Project are the disabled, Wuhao5 (Five Guarantees), widows and low-income persons6. According to the survey, it is estimated that 2230 people of 687 households (including 63 households are disabilities, 206 people of 84 households are Wubao, 1762 people of 468 households are low-income and 120 people of 72 households are widows) fall into vulnerable groups and need special attention. The vulnerable groups affected by the project will be further identified based on their family structure, labor employment, family resources possessed and other objective conditions, and the information mastered by the local civil affairs authorities. Once any affected household is identified as a vulnerable group, the implementing agencies will offer special assistance during the implementation of resettlement.

5 “Wubao” refers to the person who not only loses the labor abilities and income, but has no dependent person regulated by laws. The “Wubao” could get the subsidies or assistance from government as follows: 1) Grain and oils, subsidiary food and fuel; 2) Living goods including clothes, quilt etc, and pocket money; 3) Basic residential housing, 4) Medical subsidies; 5) Funeral affairs 6 The annual per capita net income is below 1067 yuan.

2.10.3 Affected women

19,682 women are affected by the project, accounting for 49.54% of the total affected population. According to the survey, the affected women enjoy the same legal rights as men, including contracting of arable land, receiving education, family planning, participation in election, etc. Most of the interviewed female laborers think they have the same autonomy in production and operation as men, and can elect to work or do small business freely. With the flow of rural labor, male and female laborers in a household are in such a division of labor that “men are in charge of external affairs, and women in charge of family affairs” typically. Men deal more with nonagricultural industries, while women deal more with agriculture. More women do housework, bring up children, deal with household sidelines (e.g., household cultivation), and work locally. According to the survey, the proportion of the affected women working outside is about 2/5 that of the affected men. The working hours of women are usually 1.2 times those of men. Like men, women go to developed provinces and cities, such as Jiangsu, Shanghai and Zhejiang, for work. In terms of industry, women are more competitive in such industries as catering, social services and apparel processing, but less competitive in such industries as building and transport. The impact on the affected women’ income comes mainly from the reduction in agricultural production arising from the acquisition of arable land and the impact on household cultivation arising from house demolition, while the per capita income from crop cultivation and stockbreeding is up to 1,080 yuan/person, accounting for 26.0% of household income. In terms of education, boys and girls enjoy equal opportunities in receiving education, and as long as children study hard, their parents would do their best to support their school education. According to the survey, women have the same concerns as men: (a) the compensation standards should be in strict conformity with the state laws and polices, and the compensation fees should be in place timely; (b) the compensation fees should be paid directly to the affected rural households; and (c) it is preferred that new houses are built and housing sites are allocated before house demolition. Women have the following needs that are different from men: (a) women ask for an equal degree of cash compensation and land replacement; (b) women ask for training on crop cultivation, stockbreeding and manual work; and (c) in most households, men play a dominant role in participation, while women also expect to participate in village-level management. The compensation fees should be preferably signed by both spouses for confirmation. See Appendix 3 (Part A) for the gender analysis.

4 Legal Framework and Policies

4.1 Laws, regulations and policies applicable to resettlement

The resettlement policies for the project are formulated based on ADB policies and the applicable laws, regulations and policies of China mainly, including: 1) ADB policies ¾ Involuntary Resettlement, November 1995 ¾ Gender and resettlement , February 2003 2) Laws, regulations and policies of the PRC ¾ Land Management Law of the People's Republic of China (effective from January 1, 1999, amended on August 28, 2004) ¾ Decision of the State Council on Deepening Reform and Exercising Strict Land Management (Guo Fa [2004] No.28) (October 21, 2004) ¾ Guidelines on Improving Compensation and Resettlement Systems for Land Acquisition (MLR Fa [2004] No.238) (November 3, 2004) ¾ Measures for the Administration of Preliminary Examination of the Land Used for Construction Projects (Ministry of Land and Resources Order No.27) (November 1, 2004) 3) Provincial and local policies ¾ Circular of the Anhui Provincial People’s Government on Doing Well in Compensation and Resettlement for Land Acquisition to Protect Farmers’ Lawful Rights and Interests Practically ¾ Detailed Rules of Anhui Province for the Management of the Collection and Use of Farmland Reclamation Fees (Cai Zong [2001] No.1061) ¾ Procedures of Anhui Province on the Implementation of the Land Management Law of the People’s Republic of China (December 1, 2002) ¾ Circular of the Anhui Provincial Finance Department on Farmland Occupation Tax on Highways ¾ Guidelines of the Anhui Provincial People’s Government on Doing Well in the Employment and Social Security for Farmers Affected by Land Acquisition (Wan Zheng [2005] No.63) ¾ Notice on the Adjustment of the Compensation Standards for Land for Expressway Construction and House Demolition (Wan Jiao Ji [2007] No.17) (see Appendix 5) ¾ Notice of the Anhui Provincial Government on Promulgating the Compensation Rates for Land Acquisition of Anhui Province (APG [2009] No.132)

4.2 Abstract of ADB policies

The three important elements of the involuntary resettlement policy are (i) compensation to replace lost assets, livelihood, and income; (ii) assistance for relocation, including provision of relocation sites with appropriate facilities and services; and (iii) assistance for restoration to achieve at least the same level of well-being with the project as without it. Some or all of these elements may be present in a project involving involuntary resettlement. For any ADB operation requiring involuntary resettlement, resettlement planning is an integral part of project design, to be dealt with from the earliest stages of the project cycle, taking into account the following basic principles: (i) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided whenever feasible. (ii) Where population displacement is unavoidable, it should be minimized by

providing viable livelihood options. (iii) Replacing what is lost. If individuals or a community must lose all or part of their land, means of livelihood, or social support systems, so that a project might proceed, they will be compensated and assisted through replacement of land, housing, infrastructure, resources, income sources, and services, in cash or kind, so that their economic and social circumstances will be at least restored to the pre-project level. All compensation is based on the principle of replacement cost. (iv) Each involuntary resettlement is conceived and executed as part of a development project or program. ADB and executing agencies or project sponsors, during project preparation, assess opportunities for affected people to share project benefits. The affected people need to be provided with sufficient resources and opportunities to reestablish their livelihoods and homes as soon as possible, with time-bound action in coordination with the civil works. (v) The affected people are to be fully informed and closely consulted. Affected people are to be consulted on compensation and/or resettlement options, including relocation sites, and socioeconomic restoration. Pertinent resettlement information is to be disclosed to the affected people at key points, and specific opportunities provided for them to participate in choosing, planning, and implementation options. Grievance redress mechanisms for affected people are to be established. Where adversely affected people are particularly vulnerable groups, resettlement planning decisions will be preceded by a social preparation phase to enhance their participation in negotiation, planning, and implementation. (vi) Social and cultural institutions. Institutions of the affected people, and, where relevant, of their hosts, are to be protected and supported. Affected people are to be assisted to integrate economically and socially into host communities so that adverse impacts on the host communities are minimized and social harmony is promoted. (vii) No formal title. Indigenous groups, ethnic minorities, pastoralists, people who claim for such land without formal legal rights, and others, who may have usufruct or customary rights to affected land or other resources, often have no formal legal title to their lands. The absence of a formal legal title to land is not a bar to ADB policy entitlements. (viii) Identification. Affected people are to be identified and recorded as early as possible in order to establish their eligibility through a population record or census that serves as an eligibility cutoff date, preferably at the project identification stage, to prevent a subsequent influx of encroachers or others who wish to take advantage of such benefits. (ix) The Poorest. Particular attention must be paid to the needs of the poorest affected people, and vulnerable groups that may be at high risk of impoverishment. This may include those without legal title to land or other assets, households headed by females, the elderly or disabled and other vulnerable groups, particularly indigenous peoples. Appropriate assistance must be provided to help them improve their socio-economic status. (x) The full resettlement costs are to be included in the presentation of project costs and benefits. This includes costs of compensation, relocation and restoration, social preparation and livelihood programs as well as the incremental benefits over the without-project situation (which are included in the presentation of project costs and benefits). The budget also includes costs for planning, management, supervision, monitoring and evaluation, land taxes, land fees, and physical and price contingencies. Where loans include subprojects, components or investments prepared only after project approval and loans through financial intermediaries that are likely to cause involuntary resettlement, sufficient contingency allowance must be allocated for resettlement prior to approval of the loan. Similarly, resettlement plans should also reflect the timeframe for resettlement planning and implementation.

(xi) Eligible costs of compensation. Relocation and restoration may be considered for inclusion in ADB loan financing for the project, if requested, to assure timely availability of the required resources and to ensure compliance with involuntary resettlement procedures during implementation.

4.3 Laws, regulations and policies of the PRC

For the Project, the Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China is the major legal basis. Ministry of Land Resources and Anhui Province have also promulgated some related regulations and policies. The relevant items on resettlement are shown in Table 4-1. The Decision of the State Council on Deepening Reform and Strengthening Land Administration (Ref. GF [2004]28) was issued in Oct. 2004 and sents out: (i) the principles of land acquisition compensation and resettlement compensation, (ii) the compensation standard, (iii) land acquisition procedures and (iv) monitoring system. Correspondingly, Ministry of Land Resources issued Guidelines for Strengthening Land Acquisition Compensation and Relocation System (Ref. No. [2004] 238). These documents are as shown in Table 4-2. These douments are key PRC laws and regulation for this Project.

4.4 Main differences between ADB policies and laws of the PRC

Compensation for houses ¾ Difference: ADB policies require compensation standards for replacement costs. Laws of the PRC think depreciation is reasonable, and the compensation standard for an old house should be lower than that for a new house of the same structure. ¾ Solution: Compensation standards are based on replacement costs in all ADB financed products. Compensation for land ¾ Difference: ADB policies require that compensation should be sufficient to offset any income loss, and restore long-term income-generating potential. Chinese standards are based on average annual output value, but may be unrelated to the cost of income restoration. ¾ Solution: The early-stage solution is to provide replacement land, which is hardly possible. Cash compensation is the preferred choice of most people, though they cannot guarantee the reasonable use of these compensation fees. Therefore, ADB needs to further technical support to monitor the income of seriously affected households, especially those of vulnerable groups and assistance should be provided by local governments to assist those who need support. Compensation for resettlement of vulnerable groups ¾ Difference: ADB policies require that special compensation is granted to all vulnerable groups, especially seriously affected households faced with pauperization. Chinese provisions do not require social analysis, and compensation is based only on the quantity of loss. ¾ Solution: Special funds are available to assist the vulnerable groups, who will be identified during the detailed survey. All measures have been specified in the Resettlement Plan. Consultation and publication ¾ Difference: ADB policies require the affected people are aware of all relevant information, and consulted with as soon as possible. Chinese provisions have improved the transparency of disclosure and compensation. However, the affected people do not play a strong role in project decision-making, and the disclosure period is usually too short. ¾ Solution: Consultation has begun at the early stage (before and during technical assistance). APCD agrees to disclose the Resettlement Plan to the affected people as required by ADB. Lack of legal title ¾ Difference: ADB policies require all demolished houses, whether lawful or unlawful, shall be compensated for at the same standards. According to Chinese laws, people without local registered residence may not be entitled to the same compensation as local people. In addition, the prevailing Chinese laws stipulate that no compensation shall be provided for the acquisition of land and houses of unlawful owners. ¾ Solution: For ADB financed project, all affected people, whether lawful or unlawful, whether having ownership or right to use, will be protected. The same compensation standards will apply as required by ADB. Resettlement monitoring, evaluation and reporting ¾ Difference: ADB requires internal and external resettlement monitoring. However, there is no such requirement in Chinese laws, expect for reservoir projects.

¾ Solution: Internal and external resettlement monitoring systems have been established for all ADB financed products, and have been included in the Resettlement Plan. The requirements for internal and external reporting are specified in the Resettlement Plan.

4.5 Principles for compensation of the project

The principles for compensation and entitlement of the project have been formulated in accordance with the laws, regulations and policies of the Chinese government and ADB, with the aim of ensuring that displaced persons can obtain sufficient compensation and assistance measures so that their production and livelihoods are at least restored to pre-displacement levels. The principles for resettlement of the project are shown in Table 4-33.

Table 4-3 Principles for Resettlement of the Project Principles 1 Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible. The affected people are granted compensation and rights that can at least maintain or even improve their 2 livelihoods in the absence of the project. 3 The affected people are given compensation and assistance in resettlement whether legal title is available or not. If the land available to everyone is insufficient to maintain his/her livelihood, replacement in cash or in kind and 4 other income-generating activities are provided for the lost land. The affected people fully understand their entitlements, the method and standard of compensation, the livelihood 5 and income restoration plan, and the project schedule, and participate in the implementation of the Resettlement Plan. No land should be acquired before the affected people are satisfied with the compensation and resettlement 6 (plan). People should not be displaced until the allocation of a housing plot has been agreed upon. The executing agency and an independent agency / third party should monitor the compensation, relocation and 7 resettlement operations. The vulnerable groups (including women) are provided special assistance or treatment so that they lead a better 8 life, and all affected people should have an opportunity to benefit from the project. 9 The Resettlement Plan must be consistent with the master plans of the affected counties and towns. 10 The resettlement expenses are sufficient to cover all affected aspects.

4.6 Cut-off date of compensation

For the Project, the cut-off date was decided on Sep, 25th, 2010. Newly reclaimed arable land, newly built houses or settlement in the affected areas of the affected people will not be included in the scope of compensation or subsidy after the cut-off date. Any house built or tree planted for extra compensation only will not be included.

4.7 Determination of compensation standards for resettlement impacts of the project

4.7.1 Acquisition of collective land The compensation rates for the acquisition of collective land have been determined in accordance with the Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China, the Guidelines on Improving Compensation and Resettlement Systems for Land Acquisition, the Measures of Anhui Province on the Implementation of the Land Management Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Notice of the Anhui Provincial Government on Promulgating the Compensation Rates for Land Acquisition of Anhui Province, and other applicable regulations and policies, and based on the information provided by the land and resources of the affected counties (cities), and the field survey. In the project, land acquisition is governed by the compensation rates

outlined in the Notice of the Anhui Provincial Government on Promulgating the Compensation Rates for Land Acquisition of Anhui Province. The detailed compensation rates for the acquisition of rural collective land are shown in Table 4-4. Once any land acquisition compensation policy of Anhui Province varies, the compensation rates of the project will be adjusted accordingly.

4.7.2 Compensation for temporary land occupation Compensation fees for temporary land occupation include compensation for young crops/ground annexes, and land reclamation compensation. ¾ Land occupied temporarily for borrow pits is compensated for at a time at 12,000 yuan/mu for arable land (paddy field, dry land) or 4,000 yuan/mu for unused land; ¾ Other temporarily occupied land will be compensated for at the annual output value of the land for the period of impact; the compensation for non-arable land shall be determined by reference to that for arable land; ¾ Land reclamation fee is 4,000 yuan/mu, and no land reclamation fee is required for unused land. To reduce the impact of land acquisition on young crops, the project will be constructed after harvest or before seeding as the case may be. According to the construction design, the period of temporary land occupation is 2 years. The compensation standards for temporary land occupation are shown in Table 4-5.

5 Resettlement and Income Restoration

5.1 Purpose of resettlement

The purpose of resettlement of the project is to design a resettlement and restoration action plan for the people affected by the project, so that they benefit from the project, and their standard of living is improved or at least restored after the completion of the project.

5.2 Resettlement and restoration plans for affected villages

5.2.1 Introduction of resettlement and restoration plans for affected villages The acquisition of collective land involves 62 administrative villages in 18 townships of Lingbi County, Sixian County, Wuhe County, Mingguang City and Fengyang County, Anhui Province; 10,655.079 mu of collective land will be acquired, affecting 10,148 households with 38,561 persons, including 2,861.0535 mu in Lingbi County (26.85%), 3,696.7515 mu in Sixian County (34.69%), 2,234.2185 mu in Wuhe County (20.97%), 1,673.4585 mu in Mingguang City (15.70%) and 189.579 mu in Fengyang County (1.78%). In terms of land type, 906.9765 mu of paddy field (8.51%), 8,234.124 mu of non-irrigated land (77.28%), 28.2855 mu of orchard (0.27%), 1,015.434 mu of other farmland (9.53%), 281.535 mu of housing land (2.64%), and 107.9715 mu of land for construction and unused land (1.01%) will be acquired. According to the survey, the villages affected by the project have 404,461 mu of arable land in total before land acquisition, 1.545 mu per capita, and 9,141.1005 mu of arable land will be acquired in the project, with an impact rate of 2.0%. After land acquisition, per capita arable area will be 1.51 mu. Since the project involves road reconstruction in a linear distribution, the people affected by land acquisition will lose part of their land only. A comparative analysis of the arable land of the affected villages before and after land acquisition has been made according to the social and economic survey. Among the 62 affected villages, none has a land loss rate of over 10%. Therefore, land acquisition has little impact on the regular agricultural production and income of the rural households (see Section 2.5.2 for the impact analysis of land acquisition). According to the sampling survey of the willingness for resettlement of 432 households, all affected households require cash compensation, and will use the compensation fees for business, crop cultivation, stockbreeding and skills learning mainly. In the field survey, almost all affected rural households welcome the project; the affected households think the project can improve the traffic conditions and make their production and life more convenient, such as grain and vegetable transport, and going out for work. The construction and land acquisition of the project will affect the villages to varying degrees. Therefore, the restoration plan is based on the degree of impact, the availability of the remaining land resources and the willingness of the affected people. Through adequate consultation with the village committee and the affected households during the social and economic survey, different economic restoration options have been defined. As discussed above, for most villagers, the impact of land acquisition is relatively low, and the degree of impact is even. After the land is acquired, the affected people still have a certain amount of land, so most of them prefer cash compensation. For the affected people, this method will ensure that all compensation and rights get to their hands fully and timely.

5.2.2 General strategy of restoration measures for permanent land acquisition The project involves permanent land occupation of 62 villages. The livelihood restoration measures for the displaced persons mainly include: a) Direct cash compensation: Determine the compensation standards for land acquisition and the amount of arable land lost in strict accordance with the applicable state and local policies, and pay compensation fees timely to the affected households directly. The compensation fees received by the affected households can be used to grow cash crops, develop household stockbreeding and to deal with nonagricultural production activities. b) Improvement of agricultural production conditions: The village collectives will raise funds and use some of the compensation fees for the acquisition of the collective land for infrastructure construction in order to improve agricultural production conditions, increase the output of crops, increase farmers’ income indirectly and improve their standard of living, such as improvement of pumped wells, pump stations, pipelines and other irrigation facilities for farmland, improvement of drinking water facilities for villagers to solve their difficulty in domestic water supply, building village roads, and subsidizing widows. c) Agricultural restructuring: The villages will adjust their crop cultivation and stockbreeding structure using their geographic location and market conditions to increase agricultural income. d) Skills training, labor transfer, increase of nonagricultural cash income: With the development of the economy, some labor-intensive enterprises (toy, apparel and machine processing plants) in the Yangtze River Delta have shifted to the affected areas in order to reduce costs using the local labor advantage. The people’s governments of the affected cities and counties will enact relevant policies to create more nonagricultural job opportunities. According to the survey, about 35% APs chose this option. e) Endowment insurance of farmers affected by land acquisition: Eligible farmers affected by land acquisition 12 may affect the endowment insurance of farmers affected by land acquisition voluntarily, as shown in Appendix 7.

In the meantime, during the construction of the project, the implementing agencies will take some assistance and supporting measures, including: a) During construction, the affected people will be arranged for labor service with priority, which will bring cash income to the affected people. b) The affected county will give priority to the affected people for jobs in local industry or labor export (at-home work for industry). c) During the whole production restoration process, technical training can be organized for the affected people, such as training on the cultivation of cash crops and stockbreeding. Technicians from the agricultural and labor and social security authorities will be invited to give training on agriculture and cultivation in the affected areas, so that every affected rural household can receive at least one session of agricultural or nonagricultural technical training. These measures will serve to improve the quality and output of crops, increase the economic income of the affected people,

12 Generally, this means affected agricultural population not having the basic living and production conditions or with a per capita arable area of less than 0.3 mu after land acquisition. For farmers affected by land acquisition aged 60 or more for men or 55 or more for women, the pension received by everyone per month shall not be less than 80 yuan in principle paid by government, APs may contribute more voluntarily to increase their pension payments.

and restore their livelihoods. 5.2.3 General strategy and measures for demolition of residential houses The project involves house demolition of 40 villages. Through preliminary survey and consultation, the displaced households will be resettled in the following ways: a) After cash compensation, the affected households will select a suitable housing site for self-demolition and self-building as they wish, chosen by 167 households, accounting for 31.39%; b) By signing the agreement, the collectives will plan housing sites for self-demolition and self-building in a unified manner, chosen by 365 households accounting for 68.61%. The willingness for demolition of residential houses and resettlement of rural residents is shown in Table 5-1.

The housing to be demolished will be reloated nearby, which means all relocation sites are within the same village; new countryside villages are adjacent to the old village center. It is surveyed that the new countryside villages will have modern public facilities and services and the cost of which will be supported by local government.

5.2.4 Resettlement and restoration plans for key villages In order to further make clear the impacts of the project and improve the effectiveness of resettlement, the relevant traffic authorities, town governments, administrative villages and villagers have been gathered to hold discussions based on the information provided by the feasibility study report. The impacts of the project, land acquisition and house demolition, and the next-step measures for economic restoration were discussed. According to the analysis of the survey data of the land acquisition and house demolition impacts of the affected villages, resettlement and restoration plans have been developed for 23 key villages, which are listed in Table 5-2 and described in sections below.

At the preparation stage of the Resettlement Plan, the survey team organized women to participate in the impact survey of the project, and consulted them about their ideas for the income restoration plan. Women approve of the project and think the project is good to traffic improvement and land acquisition has little impact on their

livelihoods. They expect cash compensation, employment in the project and training on crop and fruit tree cultivation, and stockbreeding techniques. Aiming at the willingness of women, 30% of women will get unskilled job opportunities at the implementation stage. In addition, the principle of equal pay for equal work will apply to both men and women. However, use of child labor is prohibited. Part of the technical training should be designed to develop women’s labor skills, such as breeding, sewing and weaving skills, in order to keep their income stable. 100,000 persons will receive resettlement training, with not less than 50,000 females (50%). Meanwhile, they can have access to relevant information during resettlement, and participate in consultation and resettlement. The compensation agreement will be signed by both spouses. See details in Appendix 3-Part B Gender analysis of women during resettlement.

5.5 Assistance measures for vulnerable groups

According to the survey, the main vulnerable groups affected by the Project are the disabled, Wubao, widows, low-income persons and households seriously affected by the Project. According to the survey, it is estimated that 2230 people of 687 households (including 142 people of 63 households are disabilities, 204 people of 84 households are Wubao, 1762 people of 468 households are low-income and 120 people of 72 households are widows) fall into vulnerable groups. In addition, 2,466 people of 589 households losing above 20% land and 2,432 people of 639 households relocated are identified as seriously affected households. During the whole relocation process, the PMO, the implementing agencies and local governments will pay particular attention to the resettlement of the vulnerable groups. They will not only be resettled for livelihood and production according to the implementation plan of the project, but also be provided certain assistance to improve their living and production conditions. The Anhui PMO has set up a special fund to support the vulnerable groups at 0.3% of the basic resettlement expenses, namely 1.35787 million yuan. The PMO will use this fund as the living allowance for the vulnerable groups during relocation and at the early stage of resettlement together with the labor and social security bureaus and civil affairs authorities of the affected cities and counties. The key measures are as follows:

5.5.1 Measures for the Disabled, Wubao and Widows 1) The village collective retains the land compensation and resettlement subsidy and provides monthly allowances and medical expenses free to Wubao. 2) Special allowances will be provided to the Disabled. 3) The training and employment as a priority to labor force in these households.

5.5.2 Measures for low-income or poor households 1) Skill training will be provided to 2 family members, at least one female. 2) Priority employment (such as outside jobs or work for the Project construction) will also be provided. 3) The pension will be provided by local government.

5.5.3 Measures for seriously affected households 1) Skill training will be provided to 2 family members, at least one female. 2) Priority employment (such as outside jobs or work for the Project construction) will also be provided.

3) When possible, replacement land should be arranged as a priority if desired by the APs.

5.6 Restoration plans for temporarily occupied land

Temporary land occupation involves sand and stone yards, borrow pits, blending plants, spoil grounds, and production, living areas and roads occupied temporarily during construction, with a total area of 9,298.63 mu. The land area occupied temporarily for borrow pits is 5,425.73 mu. Through extensive consultation with the affected rural households, rural collective land occupied temporarily may be restored by the rural households, village collectives or implementing agencies. The restorer will be agreed on by representatives of the affected rural households, the village collectives and the implementing agencies. To reduce the impact of land acquisition on young crops, the project will be usually constructed after harvest or before seeding, and a prior notice will be given to the affected households to reduce their losses. 5.6.1 Restoration plan for land occupation for borrow pits Land occupied temporarily for borrow pits13 should be mountain land or unused land where possible; If occupation of arable land is unavoidable, borrow pits will be located in low-lying land and derelict land with bad soil quality and low output value, and connected to the local canal system as flood regulating and storage ponds. This will minimize the impact on agricultural production, and make it easy to drain farmland and mitigate the hazard of inland inundation, improving overall agricultural output value indirectly; According to the willingness of the affected people, borrow pits may also be used as fishponds for aquaculture, whose output value will be higher than that of crop cultivation. The restoration of borrow pits can also be combined with the local village/town planning and the strategy of building a new socialist countryside to avoid land waste and environmental impacts. In addition, land used for borrow pits will be compensated at the standards for permanent land acquisition, and such compensation is greater than the actual loss of arable land. Through a combination of the above measures, borrow pits will have almost no adverse impact to the villagers. 5.6.2 Restoration plans for other temporarily occupied land During construction on temporarily occupied land, strict measures will be taken to protect surface soil and avoid any irrecoverable impact. During excavation, surface soil (recommended thickness 30-50cm) will be collected and piled up separately, and soil loss prevention measures will be taken. After construction, subsurface soil will be backfilled first, and then surface soil will cover the surface evenly, and the site will be leveled to alleviate the impact on the quality of arable land. Temporarily trampled land during construction will harden and should be plowed immediately after construction to restore its looseness. The field irrigation and drainage canals, facilities and plowing roads will also be restored to ensure the basic requirements for farmland irrigation can be met after reclamation. The compensation for temporary occupation of rural collective land is greater than the actual loss of arable land, and the villagers’ livelihoods will not be affected.

5.7 Restoration plan for infrastructure

The affected special facilities and ground annexes will be compensated for by the

13 The sites of borrow pits will be finalized at the detailed feasibility study stage.

implementing agencies to property owners, and then restored by property owners. The restoration measures for demolished facilities must be planned in advance. In practice, these measures should be tailored to practical conditions, be safe, efficient, timely and accurate, and minimize adverse impacts on the nearby residents. For the affected municipal public facilities, the demolition agency should act on the construction drawings of the project, and minimize demolition without affecting construction. The demolition agency should rebuild (or relocate) the affected pipelines before demolition without affecting the regular lifestyle of the residents along the route (including those not to be relocated). In addition, for the production and living facilities (canals mainly) affected by the project, the design agency conducted an extensive survey of the project’s possible impacts on the production and livelihoods of the local residents in the form of discussion and questionnaire survey at the survey and design stage to collect opinions from the local people’s governments, competent authorities, social organizations and local residents. These opinions have been mostly embodied in the project design. Based on field exploration, the design agency took appropriate engineering measures for the affected production and living facilities at the design stage. For example, for canals disconnected due to highway occupation, culverts will be built in the roadbed or new exposed canals parallel to the highway built within the protected area of the roadbed; canals damaged by construction will be repaired after the completion of the project. Canals will be built by the construction team or by villagers in a compensated manner. All these costs have been included in the general budget of the project, and are no longer listed in the budgetary estimate in this report.

6 Resettlement Organization

7.2 Complaints and appeals

Public participation is encouraged throughout the preparation and implementation of the Resettlement Action Plan. Therefore, it is likely that great disputes will not arise. However, some unexpected issues may arise from this process. In order to address such issues and ensure the successful construction and land acquisition of the project, a transparent and effective appeal channel has been established. The basic procedure is as follows: Stage 1: If any right of any displaced person is infringed upon in any aspect of land acquisition and resettlement, he/she can report this to the village committee. Either the committee or the displaced person may seek for a solution from the town government through consultation. After receipt of an appeal, the town government will record it, and study a solution together with the committee and the displaced person within 2 weeks. Stage 2: If the complainant is dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 1, he/she may file an appeal to the municipal/county communications bureau (headquarters) after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within 2 weeks. Stage 3: If the complainant is dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 2, he/she may file an appeal to the Anhui PMO or ACIG after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within 2 weeks. Stage 4: f the complainant is still dissatisfied with the disposition of the Anhui

PMO or ACIG, he/she may file an appeal to the administrative authorities with competent jurisdiction level by level for arbitration in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Law of the People’s Republic of China after receiving such disposition. Stage 5: If the complainant is still dissatisfied with the arbitration award, he/she may bring an action to a civil court in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Law after receiving such award. All agencies concerned will accept the affected people’ complaints and appeals free of charge, and all costs reasonably incurred will be disbursed from the contingency expenses of the project. At the whole construction stage, this appeal procedure will remain effective so that the affected people can use it to solve relevant issues. The above appeal channel and the right of appeal will be notified to the displaced persons through the participation process at a public meeting and the resettlement information booklet. In the meantime, appeal proceedings will be published to the affected population people through media.

8.2 Resettlement investment plan and sources of funds

The sources of the resettlement funds are counterpart funds from local finance and domestic loans. Before construction or during implementation, the investment plan will be implemented in stages in order not to affect the production and living conditions of the rural households affected by land acquisition, as shown in Table 8-2.

By end of 2010, Anhui Provincial Communications Investment Group Company has raised adequate funds for LAR. Table 8-2 Resettlement Investment Plan of the Project Year 2011 2012 2013 Total Investment (10,000 yuan) 34056.09 27244.88 6811.22 68112.19 Proportion 50% 40% 10% 100%

8.3 Management and disbursement of resettlement funds

The land compensation and the resettlement subsidy will be used in adequate consultation with the villagers’ opinions; the crop compensation will be paid to the affected people directly; the compensation fees for infrastructure and annexes will be paid to the entities and individuals concerned. To ensure that the resettlement funds are in place timely and fully, and to ensure the restoration of the production, livelihoods and income level of the affected rural households, the following measures will be taken: ¾ All expenses related to resettlement will be included in the general budget of the project; ¾ The land compensation and the resettlement subsidy will be paid up before land acquisition so that all affected people can be resettled properly; ¾ To ensure the successful implementation of land acquisition and resettlement, and to ensure that all funds are disbursed on schedule, all levels financial and supervisory organization will be established.

9 Resettlement Implementation Plan

9.1 Principles for resettlement implementation

According to the implementation schedule of the project, the construction works will commence in January 2011 and be completed in December 2013. To ensure that the resettlement schedule is linked up to the construction schedule, land acquisition will start from October 2010 and end in October 2013. The basic implementation principles of resettlement are: ¾ Land acquisition should be completed 3 months before the commencement of construction. The specific time of commencement should be determined as necessary for land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement. ¾ During resettlement, the affected people should have opportunities to participate in the project. Before the commencement of construction, the scope of land acquisition will be disclosed, and a resettlement information booklet will be distributed for the purpose of public participation. ¾ All types of compensation should be paid to property owners directly in full within 3 months from the date of approval of the land acquisition compensation and resettlement plans. No entity or individual should use the compensation fees for properties on their behalf, and such fees should not be discounted during disbursement for any reason.

9.2 Implementation schedule of resettlement

The general resettlement schedule of the project has been developed according to the implementation progress of land acquisition of the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway Project. The specific implementation arrangements may be adjusted for any deviation in the overall progress of the project. The implementation schedule of resettlement is shown in Table 9-1.

10 Monitoring and Evaluation

To ensure the successful implementation of the Resettlement Plan and realize the goal of resettling the displaced persons properly, the implementation of the land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement activities of the project will be monitored and evaluated regularly as required by the ADB resettlement policies, including internal and external monitoring.

10.1 Internal monitoring

The internal monitoring agency of the project is the Anhui PMO. Internal monitoring will be executed jointly by ACIG, the municipal/county communication bureaus (headquarters) and other competent authorities (e.g., land and resources bureau). The PMO will prepare a detailed internal monitoring plan for the land acquisition and resettlement activities of the project. The scope of monitoring includes: (1) The survey and coordination of and suggestions for key issues of the displaced persons and the implementing agencies during implementation; (2) The restoration level of the household income of the displaced persons after land acquisition; (3) The resettlement and restoration level of the displaced persons after house demolition; (4) The restoration and resettlement of the vulnerable groups in the population affected by land acquisition and house demolition; (5) The disbursement, use and availability of the compensation fees for land acquisition and house demolition; (6) The degree of participation and consultation of the rural households affected by land acquisition and house demolition during implementation; (7) Resettlement training and its results; and (8) The management agencies for resettlement implementation in the affected areas, the training and working efficiency of the implementation personnel. The PMO will submit an internal monitoring report to ADB quarterly. In such reports, the statistical data of the past 3 months will be tabulated to reflect progress through comparison of the actual and planned use of the land acquisition, resettlement and compensation fees.

10.2 External monitoring

As required by the ADB policies, the PMO will employ a qualified, independent resettlement agency with experienced in ADB projects as the independent resettlement monitoring agency. The external monitoring and evaluation agency will make follow-up monitoring and evaluation of resettlement activities, monitor the progress, quality and funds of resettlement, and provide advisory opinions. It will also make follow-up monitoring of the production level and standard of living of the displaced persons, and submit monitoring and evaluation reports to the PMO and ADB. The external monitoring outline is shown in Appendix 11. 10.2.1 Scope and methods of external monitoring (1) Baseline survey The external monitoring agency will make a baseline survey of the villages affected by land acquisition in the project, and collect baseline data on the production level and standard of living of the monitored displaced households (standard of living, production and income levels). The survey of production level and standard of living will be conducted semiannually to track variations in this aspect. The survey methods include follow-up survey of typical sample (sample size: 10% of households affected by land acquisition, 20% of households affected by house demolition, 50% of affected villages; the sample households will be sampled randomly), random interview and field observation to collect necessary data. A statistical analysis will be made on this basis for evaluation.

(2) Regular monitoring and evaluation During the implementation of the Resettlement Plan, the external monitoring agency will perform regular follow-up resettlement monitoring of the following activities twice a year through field observation, follow-up survey of the sample households and random interview with the displaced persons: ¾ Disbursement and amount of compensation fees; ¾ Training; ¾ Support to the vulnerable groups; ¾ Restoration and reconstruction of infrastructure and special facilities; ¾ Resettlement and restoration of production and livelihoods; ¾ Compensation for property losses; ¾ Schedule for the above activities (applicable at any time); ¾ Resettlement network organization; ¾ Use of compensation fees for collective land and income of the displaced persons; ¾ Increase in employment income of labor; and ¾ Whether the affected people benefit from the project. (3) Public consultation The external monitoring agency will attend the public consultation meetings to be held during the implementation of resettlement. By attending these meetings, the external monitoring agency can evaluate the results of public participation. (4) Complaints The external monitoring agency will visit the affected villages regularly, and inquire of the town governments and the implementing agencies that accept complaints about the disposition of complaints. In the meantime, it will also meet complainants and propose corrective measures and suggestions for the existing issues so that the implementation process becomes more effective. 10.2.2 External monitoring reporting The external monitoring and evaluation agency will submit a monitoring report and an evaluation report to ADB and the PMO semiannually. The reporting schedule is shown in Table 10-3.

Appendix 2 Identification of Resettlement Impacts of the Extension Line of the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway (6km, in Jiangsu Province)

In addition, the project will extend from Anhui Province into Jiangsu Province by 6km to connect the Xuzhou-Huai’an Expressway in Jiangsu, and the resettlement impacts of this extension (6km, in Jiangsu Province) have also been identified preliminarily. Although it is an associated component of this Project, it will be financed and implemented by Jiangsu Province. A Resettlement Impacts Based on a preliminary estimate, the main resettlement impacts of the extension line of the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway (6km, in Jiangsu Province) are acquisition of collective land and temporary land occupation, involving 3 villages in Shuanggou Town, Huining County, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, where 407 mu of collective land will be acquired, affecting 1,227 people out of 317 households; 225 mu of collective land will be occupied temporarily, affecting 681 people out of 178 households temporarily, as shown in Table 1.

D Policy, compensation standards and expenses The compensation policy for the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway (Jiangsu section) shall be the Opinions on the Implementation of Compensation and Resettlement for Land Acquisition of Key Construction Projects of (Su Zheng Ban Fa [2005] No.125). The compensation fee for acquisition of arable land (paddy rice and dry land) shall be 12,000 yuan/mu, the resettlement subsidy 11,000 yuan/mu, and the crop compensation 600 yuan/mu; the compensation fee for temporary land occupation shall be 1200 yuan/mu, and the reclamation fee 6,000 yuan/mu. Based on calculation, the basic resettlement expenses (excluding tax) of the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway (Jiangsu section) are 11.225 million yuan. E Restoration measures The households affected by the extension line (6km, in Jiangsu Province) of the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway will receive higher compensation fees than the compensation policy of the project. It can be expected that the extension line (6km, in Jiangsu Province) of the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway will have little impact on the income and livelihoods of the affected people. F Public participation, organization and monitoring In order to enact the resettlement policy, and prepare and implement the resettlement plan, the agencies concerned have paid special attention to the participation of the affected people and consulted them on the relevant issues. At every stage, public participation in resettlement and restoration activities will be encouraged. Jiangsu Provincial Communications Investment Group Company will be responsible for the planning, management and implementation of the compensation and resettlement of the displaced persons of the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway (Jiangsu section), as well as rebuilding, income restoration and resettlement monitoring, etc. 1) Jiangsu Provincial Communications Investment Group Company will be responsible generally for the planning, implementation and management of land acquisition and resettlement; 2) The Huining County Communications Bureau and Land and Resources Bureau shall conduct land acquisition according to the statutory procedure; 3) Other agencies, including town governments and village committees, will asset the Huining County Communications Bureau and Land and Resources Bureau in conducting land acquisition and house demolition, and direct the affected people to restore their income as soon as possible. The resettlement plan of the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway (Jiangsu section) will be included in the monitoring plan of the Xuzhou-Mingguang Expressway, as detailed in Chapter 10.

Fully realize the importance and urgency of ensuring the employment and social security of farmers affected by land acquisition With the industrialization and urbanization of rural areas, there are an increasing number of farmers affected by land acquisition. It has become an urgent task in our province’s economic and social development to solve production and livelihood issues for farmers affected by land acquisition. Establish a sound employment mechanism and social security system for farmers affected by land acquisition to provide a stable source of income and reliable basic living guarantee to farmers affected by land acquisition, and solve their long-term livelihood issues. This is an embodiment of the important thought of the “Three Represents” and an objective requirement for building a well-being society in all aspects, and has great and far-reaching significance in protecting the lawful rights and interests of farmers affected by land acquisition, maintaining social and political stability, improving the investment environment, and promoting the comprehensive, sustained, rapid and balanced economic and social development of our province. Governments at all levels shall take it an important task and a priority to promote the employment of farmers affected by land acquisition, and accelerating the establishment of the social security system for farmers affected by land acquisition, and perform this task perfectly. 2. Principles to be followed in ensuring the employment and social security of farmers affected by land acquisition (1) Identify subjects of employment and social security reasonably: Subjects of the employment and social security of farmers affected by land acquisition are the agricultural population losing all or most of farmland within the planning area of a city (including organic town) approved for land acquisition by the State Council or the provincial people’s government pursuant to law. Out of the planning area of a city (including organic town), the agricultural population not having the basic living and production conditions, or having a per capita arable area of not less than 0.3 mu, or no longer occupying farmland within rural collective economic organizations after voluntary adjustment and not to be non-locally resettled by local people's governments after land acquisition approved pursuant to law shall also be identified as subjects of employment and social security. The specific criteria and term for the identification of subjects of the employment and social security of farmers affected by land acquisition shall be determined by municipal and county people’s governments based on local conditions. The procedure for the identification of subjects of the employment and social security of farmers affected by land acquisition is: A farmer affected by land acquisition files an application personally; the members of the village collective economic organization, village committee or villager team discusses his/her eligibility;

the town people’s government or sub-district office studies and publishes his/her eligibility; the labor and social security, and land and resources authorities review his/her eligibility, and report to the municipal or county people’s government for determination. (2) Highlight priorities: All local governments shall take the employment of farmers of employment age affected by land acquisition, the endowment insurance of farmers affected by land acquisition and the solution of basic livelihood issues of poor farmers affected by land acquisition as the priorities of their work, and ensure the medical treatment of farmers affected by land acquisition and the education of their children. Effective measures shall be taken to ensure that the standard of living of farmers affected by land acquisition is not reduced due to land acquisition, and that their long-term livelihoods are guaranteed. (3) Scientific measurement and calculation, unified planning, adaptation to local conditions, and steady progress: All local governments shall make unified planning of reform, development and stability, and the near-term, medium-term and long-term interests in local social and economic development, the connection between the employment and social security system for farmers affected by land acquisition with that for other urban residents, and the protection of the interests of farmers affected by land acquisition with different terms of land acquisition and reasons, and inside or outside the urban planning area on the basis of sufficient survey and study, detailed occupation data, and detailed basic information of the land and farmers affected by land acquisition; design practical and feasible specific measures for the employment and social security of farmers affected by land acquisition through scientific measurement and calculation, formulate definite operating procedures and strict working requirements, provide guidance for different types, and ensure steady and orderly progress. 3. Turn the registered permanent residence of farmers affected by land acquisition properly. Farmers affected by land acquisition are encouraged to move to towns. When farmers affected by land acquisition apply for the nonagricultural status in household registration, municipal and county (district) public security authorities shall go through the relevant formalities for them and register them at a nearby jurisdiction free of charge. Those having been turned into the nonagricultural status shall have the same rights to social security, education and residence as the local urban residents, and shall not be discriminated against by any entity or individual. 4. Promote the employment of farmers affected by land acquisition in diverse forms. Governments at all levels shall bring farmers affected by land acquisition into the urban employment system. Public benefit jobs shall be developed to place farmers affected by land acquisition. Where conditions permit, a certain proportion of land used for construction acquired by the state may be reserved for resettlement to absorb the employment of farmers affected by land acquisition. Land users shall give jobs suitable for farmers affected by land acquisition to them first. Farmers affected by land acquisition are encouraged to find jobs and start business independently. Unemployed farmers affected by land acquisition shall be brought into the reemployment service system actively, provided with free vocational training, advice on employment policies, employment information, vocational guidance and referral services; they shall be organized in a planned and orderly manner to participate in employment training and vocational skills training, so as to improve their employment skills and competitive power; and also provided with employment assistance and business startup guidance. 5. Ensure the social security of farmers affected by land acquisition properly (1) Farmers affected by land acquisition that have been turned into the nonagricultural status and are eligible for the basic endowment insurance of

enterprise employees, the basic medical and unemployment insurances for urban workers shall be brought into the scope of these insurances; those having livelihood difficulties and eligible for the minimum living guarantee for urban residents shall be brought into the scope of the minimum living guarantee for urban residents. If rural social endowment insurance and rural cooperative medical systems have been established, and the rural minimum living guarantee system is tried out locally, farmers affected by land acquisition that still have the agricultural status in household registration shall be brought into the scope of the corresponding insurances and guarantee; for those eligible for rural aid for the extremely poor and rural minimum living guarantee, their basic livelihood issues should be solved by providing them with rural aid for the extremely poor and rural minimum living guarantee. (2) Establish an endowment insurance system for farmers affected by land acquisition gradually. An endowment insurance system for farmers affected by land acquisition shall be established gradually throughout the province in about 3 years’ time. Farmers affected by land acquisition having attained 16 years of age upon land acquisition and not covered by urban basic endowment insurance may effect the endowment insurance of farmers affected by land acquisition voluntarily, the funds of which shall be raised jointly by the local government, the village (team) collective and individuals. The contribution of the government shall be disbursed from land transfer income and other incomes for compensated use of state land, and the contribution of the village (team) collective shall be disbursed from the land compensation, the operating income of the collective economic organization, and other incomes of the village (team) collective. The government and collective contributions shall be used to grant basic endowment insurance benefits, and the standard thereof shall not be less than 80 yuan per person-month. The personal payment shall be used as a supplement to endowment insurance benefits. All local governments may guide and encourage farmers to pay premiums to enrich endowment insurance funds and improve the level of endowment insurance. The starting age of receiving endowment insurance benefits shall be 60 years for men and 55 years for women. The finance, and land and resources authorities shall assist in transferring endowment insurance funds for farmers affected by land acquisition to the special account of social security funds opened by the local finance authorities timely and fully, while giving a notice to the labor and social security authorities of the same level. The personal payment, and the government and collective contributions shall be managed in separate account books, in which the latter shall be subject to municipal or county unified planning in principle. If the insured dies, the balance of the principal amount of his/her personal payment may be inherited with interest pursuant to law. Farmers affected by land acquisition eligible for the urban basic endowment insurance of enterprise employees may elect to effect such insurance. In this case, the personal payment to the endowment insurance of farmers affected by land acquisition shall be refunded to the insured at a time, and the endowment insurance of farmers affected by land acquisition shall be cancelled thereupon. 6. Strengthen the leadership of the employment and social security of farmers affected by land acquisition. Governments at all levels shall attach great importance to the employment and social security of farmers affected by land acquisition, and strengthen leadership practically. The leaders chiefly responsible shall take the lead personally. The labor and social security authorities are in charge of this work, and shall play a leading role practically, and the finance, land and resources, agriculture, civil affairs and public security authorities shall perform their respective responsibilities and work closely to ensure the employment and social security of farmers affected by land acquisition. The propaganda, supervision and inspection of the employment and social security of farmers affected by land acquisition shall be strengthened to protect the lawful rights and interests of farmers affected by land acquisition pursuant to law. All municipal and county governments shall formulate the implementation

procedures for the employment and social security of farmers affected by land acquisition according to these opinions and the practical situation, and promote the employment and social security of farmers affected by land acquisition steadily and actively. Where the endowment insurance system for farmers affected by land acquisition cannot be put into practice by 2008, the local people’s government shall explain the reason specifically to the provincial people’s government.

Each of the affected towns and villages has 1-2 leaders responsible chiefly for the assistance in resettlement. The agencies responsible for land acquisition and house demolition in the project include: ¾ APCD Foreign-funded Project Management Office ¾ ACIG Municipal/county (including county-level municipal) communications bureaus (headquarters)17 ¾ Town people’s governments ¾ Village committees (neighborhood committees) ¾ Project design agency ¾ Independent monitoring and evaluation agency ¾ Other agency: Land Resource Bureau, House Demolition Office, Women Federation and Labor Bureau, etc.
