Objectives of Resettlement Plan & Definition of Resettlement Vocabulary This Resettlement Plan (RP) is developed according to the Laws and Regulations of PRC and Hunan Province, as well as the resettlement policy of ADB. The purpose of this document is to set out a policy framework and an action plan for the Resettlement and Rehabilitation of the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) to ensure that they will benefit from the project and their standards of living will improve or at least be restored after the project impact. This RP is a legally binding agreement between the Executing Agency (EA) – Key Project Office under Hunan Provincial Water Resources Department (HPWRD) and both the ADB and the local government offices involved with resettlement implementation, whereby HPWRD will be responsible to ensure the action plans are adequately financed and will coordinate relevant cities and counties to implement resettlement in accordance with the resettlement plan approved by ADB. The Resettlement Plan compiled by Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources will be formally approved by the Hunan Province Water Resources Department representing the Hunan Province People’ s Government. Acquisition of land and other assets for the project will adversely affect the livelihood of persons who live, work or earn their living on the land that will be acquired for the project. PAPs are defined as those persons whose income or livelihoods will be adversely affected by land acquisition for the project. PAPs include the following categories: a) Persons who have a title, right, interest, in structures (private houses and auxiliaries, houses of enterprises or public buildings), land (including housing plot, land for public facilities, land occupation for agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry fishery and subsidiary occupation) or any other asset acquired or possessed, in full or in part, permanently or temporarily; b) Persons who use the structures, land or assets described above; or persons whose business, occupation, place of residence or habitat adversely affected; or c) Persons whose standard of living is adversely affected as a consequence of land acquisition and/or resettlement activities.
Definition of the PAPs: “Affected Persons” means persons who on account of the execution of the project had or would have their: a) standard of living adversely affected; or b) right, title or ownership in any house, land (including housing plot, farmland and grazing land) or any other fixed or movable asset acquired or possessed, temporarily or permanently; or c) business, occupation, work or place of residence as well as habitat adversely affected. PAPs may be individuals or legal entities such as a company, a public institution.
1 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
Definition of PAPs is not limited or restricted to their legal registration or permission to live or conduct business in the affected location, or their titles to property. Thus it includes: a) All those affected by the project regardless of their legal rights or absence thereof to the assets being taken; and b) Persons without residential permit to live in a certain area. Therefore all such persons who are affected will need to be considered and recorded as PAPs, regardless of their legal status regarding assets, land or location. All PAPs are entitled to the improvement or at least restoration of their standards of living, and compensation for the material losses they suffer. Compensation for assets will cover replacement cost. No deductions or discounts will be applied to the compensation amount for depreciation or other reasons. All PAPs deriving an economic benefit from the affected land and property are entitled to receive rehabilitation benefits in addition to the compensation for their assets lost. Those PAPs without title, authorization or legal permission to reside, conduct business, cultivate land or construct structures are eligible for rehabilitation of their livelihoods and compensation for their assets in a fair manner compared with those with formal legal title, authorization or permission to the assets. The term Resettlement includes: 1) The relocation of living quarters; 2) Finding acceptable new employment for those whose jobs are lost or severely affected; 3) Restoration (or compensation) of affected productive resources such as land, workplaces, trees and infrastructure; 4) Restoration of other adverse effects on PAPs’ living standards (quality of life) through land acquisition, indirect resettlement impacts or other project impacts; 5) Restoration of or compensation for affected private and public enterprises; 6) Restoration of adversely affected on cultural or common property. Rehabilitation means: the restoration of the PAPs’ resource capacity to continue with productive activities or lifestyles at a level higher or at least equal to that without the project. The objective of this RP is to provide a plan for the resettlement and rehabilitation of the PAPs so that their losses will be compensated and their standards of living will be improved or at least restored to the pre-project levels in a sustainable manner. Affected productive resources of businesses, enterprises (including shops) and public facilities and infrastructure will also be improved or at least restored to their pre-project levels.

Summary of Resettlement Plan for Xinhua County Flood Protection Subproject A. Introduction 1. The proposed Xinhua County Flood Protection Subproject will finance the following constructions: 1) Newly build Chengdong flood protection dike of 7.75 km; 2) Reinforcement, heightening, and widening Chengxi flood protection dike of 4.5 km; 3) Newly build 4 water gates, the dredge of waterway, the highway for flood prevention, and others; 4) One newly build waterlogging drainage station, total installed capacity of 465kw; 5) One newly build water relieving channel, 3 newly build blind gates. The resettlement plan covers all the content above, all the project impact and resettlement measures are investigated in detail, all the indices, resettlement measures and compensation standard are checked and approved by local people’s government in project area. 2. The project executing agency for the Hunan Flood Control Project is the Key Project Office of Hunan Provincial Water Resources Department (HPWR). Following ADB requirements, a draft resettlement plan has been prepared by HPWR under the assistance of ADB consultants, which was based on feasibility study of the project and detailed survey of resettlement impacts and extensive consultation among affected people and local governments. B. Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement 3. The proposed Xinhua County Flood Protection Subproject will affect 6 administrative villages of Meiyuan Development Zone in Xinhua County, 44 villager’s groups, and 4 enterprises and institutions. According to the detailed impact survey, about 31.56 ha of land will be acquired, of which, about 93.18 percent is farmland, comprising paddy field (73.12 percent), dry farmland (20.27 percent), vegetable land (0.42 percent) as well as 6.19 percent of rural housing plot and enterprise land. Approximately 11.63 ha of land will be occupied temporarily during the construction phase. Based on per capita farmland in affected villages, the permanent farmland acquisition will affect 596 households directly and 1839 persons. 637 persons need to be resettled in project -affected area. On average, each affected person would lose only 0.008 ha of farmland, which represents 13.97 percent loss of their current cultivated land. 4. Besides land acquisition, the buildings with their floor space of approximately8212 square meters would be demolished. The demolition would relocate 32 households and 172 persons. About 93.55 percent of houses are made of brick concrete and brick wood structures. The brick concrete accounts for 65.66 percent of the total demolition houses area. The relocation will provide an opportunity to improve current housing condition for relocated households. For most relocated households, they will be moved a short distance to another site which is not far from their original village. 5. Other affected assets include the infrastructural facilities of communications, telecommunications
3 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
and hydropower, walls, sunny ground, wells, ponds and economic trees. All land, housing, and other assets will be compensated at replacement value. C. Policy Framework and Entitlements 6. For people unavoidably affected, the resettlement objective is to achieve equal or better income and living standards in line with the PRC Land Administration Law (1998) and the ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement. The HPWR will ensure that any people losing land, housing, other assets or income source will be assisted to fully restore their income and living standards. The Hunan Provincial Government in 2000 issued Methods of Hunan Province for Implementing the Land Administration Law of PRC in which stipulates the regulations for land compensation, resettlement subsidies, young crop compensation, house compensation and other measures to carry out resettlement. According to the policy, the total compensation (land compensation, resettlement subsidy and young crop) will be set at Y13,393 per mu for paddy field; Y9,375 per mu for dry farmland, Y18,393 per mu for vegetable land, Y10,373per mu for rural housing plot; and Y13,393 per mu for enterprise land. Those people losing land temporarily during construction will receive a payment equivalent to production value foregone for the period of loss, which is expected to be 2 years. The land used temporarily will be restored by the contractor to the original condition, or else additional funds will be provided to the owner to restore the land. For structures to be demolished, replacement value will be provided to the affected households based on compensation rates adopted in the affected districts, which is set at Y327 per square meter for brick-concrete structure, Y270 per square meter for brick-wood structure, and Y386 per square meter for earth-wood structure of non-residential housing, Y318 per square meter for the brick-wood structure. For those who lost their houses, they will be provided with funds to obtain new housing sites and to connect with road, electricity and water within the current villager’s group or administrative village. There will be no reduction in house compensation for depreciation, and people will be allowed to salvage materials from their old houses. D. Resettlement Strategy 7. Efforts to minimize resettlement effects have been made after consultations with local officials during the course of the adjustment in the initial feasibility study. The adjustment results of the feasibility study has resulted in 125.77 percent reduction of house demolition, that is 10328 square meters. And the number of relocated households was kept to only 32. For those unavoidably affected, the resettlement strategy is to replace losses of housing, land, other assets, infrastructure, and income.
8. 1) In the affected persons, 637 persons need the economic rehabilitation. ① In the 41 villager’s
4 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
groups of the 6 affected village, the left farmland in 28 villager’s groups is kept above 0.5 mu/ person, the cultivated land acquisition of the project is mainly the land in Xiaolu District of the Zhixi reservoir, and the contracted land of farmers are not affected, so the livelihood and production of local farmers are slightly affected. The villager’s group will provide the compensation directly to them according to the land lose of affected persons, the compensation will be used for augment of the agricultural input, improvement of the agricultural condition, or other non-farm income activities;
② In 13 vilager’s group, the left farmland per capita is lower than 0.5 mu and part of contracted
farmland are affected by the project after land acquisition. Based on the resettlers’ desire, the following means will be adopted for economic rehabilitation, such as improvement for field water resource facilities and agricultural conditions, development of cultivated land and re-distribution of fruit gardens. 2) Among the affected persons, 32 households and 172 persons in 5 administrative villages will be affected, residential houses with their floor space of 5272 m2 will be demolitioned and resettled. It is initially determined that the relocatees will be resettled within the original villages and groups, provided with compensation equivalent to current housing construction, and the housing plot will be arranged by villages and groups as a whole so that they can build houses by
themselves. The housing plot of resettlers is mainly the timber land, the land standard is 180 ㎡; 3)
Three enterprises and one institution in the project area will be affected by the land acquisition and resettled and rebuilt as a whole. Through consultation, 4 enterprises and institutions will be resettled by cash compensation, they will be rebuilt in other sites within the original site after getting the proper compensation. 9. The Key Project Office of HPWR will ensure that the resettlement entitlements are provided to the affected persons prior to the ground leveling and demolition commencement. Land compensation and resettlement subsidy will be paid to the affected village collectives or individuals. Housing compensation and compensation for young crops as well as other assets will be provided directly to people losing those assets. Compensation for infrastructure such as electrical and communication fixtures will be paid to the concerned government departments for restoration. 10. The resettlement regulations have standard provisions for moving allowances to assist the affected people during the transition phase. Also, the contractors for the project will be requested by Key Project Office of HPWR to give priority to resettlement affected households in the allocation of unskilled jobs during construction, which will be handled through consultation with the township and village leaders. E. Institutional Arrangements 11. The Hunan Provincial Government will assume the overall responsibility for implementing
5 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
resettlement according to the approved RP approved by ADB loans project office. A Project Resettlement Office within HPWR will be directly responsible to the leadership during the project implementation process, coordinate work relations of county (city, districts), in order to guarantee that the project construction of the main body as well as demolition and resettlement of land acquisition is conducted smoothly; Xinhua County People’s Government is in charge of leading group of Xinhua County, the main responsibilities are to strengthen the leading of the project implementation process in the subordinating area of the county, coordinating the relations of the subordinating Development Zone, and guarantee the project construction of main body as well as demolition and resettlement of land acquisition can be conducted smoothly. County PMO is set up under the leading group, responsible for dealing with daily affairs. County resettlement implementation management office is set up under County PMO, assuming the overall responsibility of management, planning, implementation, coordination, supervision, and monitoring, and take the primary responsibility for the resettlement consultation, implementation and timely delivery of entitlements, with assistance from concerned Development Zone and villages. F. Vulnerable Group 12. According to investigation, the project-affected persons all belong to Han and no ethnic minority involved. 13. According to the survey and statistics provided by affected villages and townships, among total affected people, about 16 households and 65 persons are vulnerable people, accounting for 3.22 percent of total affected people, most of whom are poor people and elders living alone with annual average income lower than 856 yuan/year. According to the Resettlement Plan, vulnerable groups will receive the following additional assistance: (i) physical help in housing construction and relocation free of charge and (ii) a special subsidy will be paid to enable them to maintain their living standards while constructing their houses. The specific amount for such assistance will be determined according to the actual condition and their needs. For this purpose, HPRW agreed to set aside a special fund with 1 percent of total resettlement cost, which will be used to provide direct and needed help for those vulnerable people. G. Consultation and Grievance Redress 14. The demolition resettlement policies and laws of nation, province, and county requires disclosure and consultation with affected persons. The affected persons have been notified about the key elements of the RP during meetings and interviews. Prior to implementation, there will be further consultations arranged by township and village officials to discuss specific impacts on each village and how they will be addressed. The people losing housing will be offered a choice of housing sites; and those losing agricultural land will have the opportunity to consider suitable income replacement
6 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
alternatives. All villagers will also have input to decisions on how to utilize the collective compensation funds. 15. Six months prior to resettlement implementation, a resettlement information booklet will be distributed to all affected townships, villages and households by Key Project Office of HPWR. The information booklet contains the resettlement scope, expected timeframe, compensation rates for land and other assets, other assistance to replace assets, relocation and economic rehabilitation strategies, and the grievance redress mechanisms. The county, township and village officials will ensure that any concerns raised by the affected persons are quickly addressed. 16. In case of grievance, affected persons will lordge their oral or written complaint first to the village committee or the resettlement office of Development Zone. If their complaint is not settled in ten days, they can seek redress at the county resettlement office within one month. If still unresolved within two weeks, the HPWR will try to achieve a solution. The final redress would be sought, if necessary, in the civil courts, in accordance with the Civil Procedure Law. H. Monitoring and Reporting 17. The detailed plan for internal and external monitoring and evaluation is included in the RP. HPWR will engage a qualified monitoring agency to carry out independent resettlement monitoring and evaluation. The independent monitoring agency will ascertain the extent to which the affected people have (i) received their full entitlements on time and (ii) fully restored their livelihoods, income levels and living standards. It will also conduct a baseline survey prior to resettlement, semi-annual investigations during resettlement and annual survey updates for two years after the completion of resettlement. The household survey will include a representative number of those severely affected by loss of land, those losing housing, and those classified as minority and economically vulnerable. 18. A quarterly reporting system is being established in the Key Project Office in HPWR. HPWR will report to ADB on the progress of land acquisition and resettlement through resettlement progress reports. The HPWR will also provide ADB with copies of the independent monitoring and evaluation reports to be prepared twice a year during resettlement implementation and once a year after resettlement completion. After completion of land acquisition and resettlement, HPWR will prepare a resettlement completion report and submit to ADB. I. Finance and Implementation Schedule 19. The RP budget estimate is Y16.0251 million, for all costs including compensation, resettlement subsidy, payments for other assets such as housing, moving allowances, subsidy for vulnerable groups, fees for resettlement administration, and monitoring and evaluation. Key Project Office of HPWR will guarantee to supplement the resettlement budget, as may prove necessary, to meet any
7 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
shortfall which emerges in achieving the resettlement objectives. 20. The resettlement implementation schedule has been prepared based on the project construction content, project quantity, project time limit, resettlers, resettlement means and others. Housing demolition and relocation would be carried out within 4 years. 1. General Description of Project 1.1 Project Background Hunan Province is located on the south bank of middle reaches of Changjiang River, bordering Jiangxi Province on the east, neighboring the Wuling Mountains on the south, connecting Guangdong Province and Guangxi Province, and close to the Guizhou Province and Chongqing City with the unbroken mountains in Guizhou and Chongqing areas. Changjiang River separates Hunan Province and Hubei Province on the north, and nearly 70% cities of Hunan Province are located in mountainous areas or hilly areas. These cities lie in the areas with relatively high ground elevation, and the landform varies greatly. These areas are subject to the flash flood though they are affected little by the Dongting Lake and the propping of tail water level of the four rivers. Because the river level in mountainous areas rises sharply and abruptly with great flow velocity, the cities along the river are always destructively damaged. In November of 1999, Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources worked out the report on urban flood-control planning in Hunan Province according to Flood-control Planning Outline for Changjiang River Drainage Area and Compilation Outline for Urban Flood-control Planning (Ministry of Water Resources [1998] No.215 Document). This report covers 91 cities, plans for the 1,830,000 urban populations, and 2253 km2 urban areas. The embankment-construction-oriented project plan is determined in the report, and the existing embankments to be heightened and reinforced are 1037.16 km in total, and the would-be-built embankments total 600.53km. Only the cities of above-county-level and once seriously damaged by the flood in the mountainous areas of Hunan Province will be covered by this urban flood-control project in this time. They shall be the economy developed area, such as Xiangtan, Zhuzhou, and Hengyang, which are all the very important industrial cities, boasting the various industries of machinery, electronics, metallurgy, chemicals, building materials, paper making, mining, medicament, and foodstuff. And, of the local areas these cities shall be the centers of finance, communications, and business as well as the science and education centers, where the municipal or county government is located, and moreover the distributing center of agricultural produce, industrial product, and commodities. Their economic status is very important. These cities are the main centers for the economic development of those areas with dense
8 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
population, and are clustered with properties. If these cities are submerged or suffered great losses, the economic development of local areas will be seriously affected. In addition, the manpower and material resources are abundant in these cities; it is the main rear base for flood-control and providing disaster relief. The submergence of these cities will bring the disaster relief and rehabilitation works into a passive situation. In years, the government at every level in Hunan Province and the local masses took great pains and sacrificed a lot for fighting floods in these cities, and enormous achievements were achieved. According to statistics, in the 36 urban areas undertaking the project, total 286.628km long flood-control embankments, and 141 drainage water gates, and 124 drainage pump stations of 15648 kW have been built. Because the flood-control works is improving slowly, the present urban flood-control standards of these cities are low, which are only for the 4-year-occurrence~20-year-occurence floods, and their waterlogging drainage abilities are only for floods between 3-year-occurrence~8-year-occurence, and only a few cities are in the fortified status, while most cities are undefended or incompletely defended. At present, the urban flood-control standard in project area is low. The flood disasters hit there in successive years. According to historical record, great floods occurred in 1980,1981,1983, and 1988 after the frightful flood cataclysms in 1954 and 1955. The losses caused by flood and waterlogging rose year after year. In the 1990s, flood disasters frequently happened, and the losses due to the flood disaster rose sharply. In 1991, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, and 1999, large floods and waterlogging disasters happened successively, which caused great losses. Many cities were submerged wholly or partly, and nearly all cities are damaged by flood and waterlogging to various degrees. In 1991, the losses caused by flood disaster amount to 760 million yuan; in 1993, the losses caused by flood disaster amount to 1870 million yuan; in 1994, the losses caused by flood disaster amount to 3090 million yuan; and the great floods in 1995,1996 and 1998 each caused over 5000 million yuan losses, reaching 5610 million yuan, 10900 million yuan and 5973 million yuan respectively. Such enormous losses caused by flood and waterlogging disasters have seriously hindered the life and property of people in urban areas. Therefore, the construction progress and urban flood-control project strengthening shall be speeded up and beefed up to facilitate the economy development being in a speedy, stable and forward way. By contructing and perfecting the necessary flood-control and waterlogging treatment facilities, efforts shall be made to promote the beneficial and abolish the harmful so as to guarantee the safey of people’s lives and assets and to promote the economic development. Xinhua County town lies on both banks of Zijiang River. The Beita in urban area is 127km to the Zhexi Reservoir dam site, belonging to the backwater-submerged area of Zhexi Reservoir.

Because the landform of most parts of Chengdong area and Chengxi area is low, the torrential rain and continuous rain frequently give rise to the flood and waterlogging disaster. Plus the propping effect of backwater of Zhexi Reservoir makes the loss caused by flood and waterlogging even worse. According to the relevant statistical data, the flood disaster is the main natural disaster hitting the urban area. It frequently happens and is getting worse and worse. Thus, it seriously hinders the national economy and urban construction and development. With the constantly expanding of the city, population and property accrue, and the loss caused by flood and waterlogging will also be greater. In order to facilitate the urban construction of Xinhua County, safeguard the life and properties of people, and meet the requirements to develop the economy, it is necessary and pressing to speed up the flood control and waterlogging treatment project construction for urban area of Xinhua County. 1.2 General Situation of Project 1.2.1 Areal Geographic Location Xinhua County town is located on the middle reaches of Zishui River in central Hunan Province, the
rear of Zhexi Reservoir. Geologic coordinates: east longitude 111°16′~111°19′, and north latitude
27°42′~27°47′. The county town neighbors Lengshuijiang and Lianyuan on the east, accesses to
Shaoyang on the south, connects Xupu on the west, and borders Anhua on the north. Xiangqian railway and Lianxu highway pass through the city, and the administrative area of county town is 30 km2. Zishui River zigzags through the city from south to north in the shape of “Z”, and its section in urban area is 9.8 km long, dividing the urban area into two parts, Chengdong and Chengxi, which are usually named Hedong and Hexi. The Hexi on left bank is the prosperous old city, and Hedong on right bank is the newly developed area of the county town. The schematic figure of geologic location of Xinhua County Urban flood control project is shown in Attached Figure 1. 1.2.2 Contents and Scale of Project Construction Xinhua County is a core sub-project of urban flood-control project for hilly area in Hunan Province, utilizing loans from ADB. According to the chosen project scope, flood-control and waterlogging prevention standard, and project construction tasks, the flood-control project scale for the urban area of Xinhua County mainly covers the construction of new Chengdong flood-control embankment for 7.75km, consolidating, heightening, and widening the Chengxi flood-control embankment for 4.5km, construction of 4 new sluices and river way dredging, and road paving for flood-control, etc. The waterlogging treatment works mainly covers 1 new waterlogging drainage station with a total 465kw installed capacity, 1 flood-relieving canal, and 3 new buried culverts, etc.

1.2.3 Project Investment Estimation and Planned Progress According to Feasibility Study Report on Urban Flood Control Project of Xinhua County of Hunan Province Utilizing Loans from ADB compiled by Hunan Province Loudi City Hydropower Survey and Design Institute, the total investment in the project is 109.9203 million yuan, of which the investment in land acquisition and relocation compensation is 16.0251 million yuan. According to construction organization design, the total construction period of this project is 4 years, the construction period of main part works is 42 months, and the ending period is 6 months. The construction arrangement is to construct the Chengxi embankment first, then the Chengdong embankment; renovate the riverway first and then the embankment. First renovate the key section and arrange the works for common part, basically in the unit of flood-control protection circle. The construction period of flood-control works for Chengxi Protection Circle is from the early first year to the end of April of the second year, along with the riverway renovation works. The construction period of Chengdong Protection Circle flood-control works is from May of the second year to the June of the forth year; the management facility construction, afforestation, and other ending works and acceptance test works shall be all put to an end at the end of December of the forth year. Water and soil conservation works construction shall be in parallel with the that of the main part works, and all the water conservation measures shall be finished in the half year after the main part works completed. 1.2.4 Socioeconomic Benefit of Project After implementing the Xinhua County flood control and waterlogging treatment measures, the benefits in the following aspect are great: 1) The flood control and waterlogging drainage abilities will be greatly improved: after project implementation, the flood-control standard of Chengxi Protection Circle will be risen to the recent standard of 20-year-occurence; the flood-control standard of Chengdong Protection Circle will be risen from the present less than 5-year-occurence to the 20-year-occurence. The waterlogging will rise from no defensive quality to 10-year-occurence. 2) The flood-control and waterlogging treatment benefits are huge; on average, the direct economic loss saved per year will be 16.60 million yuan. 3) Through riverway renovation, the flood-relieving ability is better, and the flow capacity is strengthen. 4) The social benefits are enormous. (1) The present flood-control and waterlogging treatment status of Xinhua County is left far behind the economy development standard of Xinhua County. After project implementation, the investment and management environment will be greatly improved.

(2) The construction of flood-control embankment and urban road, dock, and blow-off pipes shall combine with the embankment alignment renovating, which will not only greatly relieve the chaotic traffic in bustling urban areas, but also beautify the environment, supply a sound recreation and rest place for residents and tourists. (3) The implementation of the project, with its marked effect, will greatly alleviate the threat on the life and properties of people due to the flood and waterlogging, and safeguard the people for living and working in peace and contentment, which will benefit the stability of society and economic development. According to the national economic evaluation and financial analysis on this project, the national economic internal rate of return (EIRR) is 14.38%, which is over social discount rate 12%; the national economic net present value is 18.4886 million yuan, which is over zero; and the benefit-cost ratio (EBCR) amounts to 1.219, which is over 1. These figures indicate that each index is up to the engineering economy rationality requirements. Considering the sensitivity, the project has a certain strong anti-risk ability, and the project implementation is reasonable in economy. 1.3 Affected Scope of Project According to Xinhua County urban flood-control planning, the urban area of Xinhua County will be divided into two independent closed flood-control protection circles, that is, Chengdong and Chengxi Protection Circles. The embankment alignment layout for the two flood-control protection circles are: Chengdong Protection Circle starts from Nongfeng Protection Circle, passing through Zhujiashan, Zijiang Bridge, and ends at Zhujialong; Chengxi Protection circle starts from Zijiang Bridge, passing through stage gauging station, Beita, and ends at Huashan. The main engineering measures concerned are embankment consolidation and newly building, renovation and rebuilding and newly building the sluice and electric drainage station, etc. In addition, there are also some temporary land works such as the construction sites for project, and borrow pit. The land acquisition areas due to the project refer to unrecoverable areas on which the residents are seriously affected in production and living due to the project construction in land acquisition area. In this phase, the land acquisition affected area is determined according to the recommended plan of the project design in the feasibility study phase, the on-site laying out and adjustment shall accord with the 1/2000 topographic map and the designed vertical and transversal profiles. The project covers the 6 villages (residential committee), and 44 villager’s groups. The final land acquisition and relocation scope will be partly altered with the deep-going of the design. 1.4 Compilation of Resettlement Plan 1.4.1 Basis and Objective for Report Compilation

units, consulting units and local government shall all participate in the process. From December 2004 ~January 2005, with the active support from the governments at various levels in the project area, the designers of HPWRHDI conducted the general surveys and statistics on the physical indices for the land-acquisition-affected area. Based on census survey, detailed sample survey on social economic conditions and attitudes of the affected people was also carried out. In investigation, designers had consulted with the PMO (project management office) of Xinhua County and held several resettlement coordination meetings attended by the government department at every level and representatives of resettlers from affected area. Comments were made on the resettlement plan, economic rehabilitation options, and compensation, which were the basis for developing resettlement plan. According to the current national policies, laws and regulations and the requirements on resettlement by ADB, the resettlement team carried out detailed analysis on the degree of impact and feasibility of proposed rehabilitation for each affected township (Sub-district) in project area. The resettlement plan was further revised according to the opinions and the site visit by PPTA experts. The completed draft resettlement plan will be reviewed and endorsed by both HPWR and local county government before submitting to ADB approval.

2. Project Impacts 2.1 Measures for Avoiding or Reducing to the Minimum the Land Acquisition and Relocation Impacts 2.1.1 Measures for Reducing the Land Acquisition Impacts in Project Design Phase Since the project was launched, in order to minimize the impact on local social economy due to the project construction, the flood-control scenic road plan has been revised and optimized for several times, and the special technical reasoning has been done. The plan optimization is aimed to minimize the land acquisition, resettlement and relocation, as well as construction cost, and to facilitate the construction of project. 1) In project planning and comparison phase, try best to consider more about the impact on the social economy due to the project construction, and take this impact minimization as the key factor in comparison of different alternatives. Three alternative flood protection schemes have been worked out for the Xinhua County Urban Flood-control Project according to the river system, landform characteristics, conditions of existing embankments and urban construction situation in the planning area. Scheme I: embankment distance 380m, dredging for 2 places, and 7820m Chengdong flood control embankment; Scheme II, embankment distance 420m, dredging for 3 places, and 7750m Chengdong flood control embankment; Scheme III: embankment distance 450m, dredging for 6 places, and 7720m Chengdong flood control embankment. If adopted, the Scheme I will partly occupy the riverway, and make the water level even higher. It cannot meet the Flood Control Law and Riverway Management Regulations. According to the economic comparison between Scheme II and Scheme III, the details of technical economic indices of each scheme are listed in Table 2.1-1. Table 2.1-1 Economic Comparison Table of Xinhua County Urban Flood-control Schemes Item Scheme 2 Scheme 3 Remarks Earthwork excavation (m3) 149930 146344 Sand pebble excavation (m3) 17380 15165 Earthwork filling (m3) 641165 606306 M7.5 mortar rubble (m3) 510 110 Precast C15 concrete block slope protection (m3) 12560 8758 Coarse sand cushion (m3) 12340 8838 C20 Reinforced concrete (m3) 2945 2933 C15 concrete toe consolidation (m3) 11625 11578 Steel bar mount and fabrication (t) 176.8 176.1 Clay bound macadam pavement (m2) 31000 31000 Sodding protection (m2) 128605 83838

Table 2.1-1 Economic Comparison Table of Xinhua County Urban Flood-control Schemes Item Scheme 2 Scheme 3 Remarks Relocated house area (m2) 8212 18540 Compensation for relocation, excavation, and filling (10 thousand yuan) 1602.51 2109.88 Balance of investment (10 thousand yuan) 507.37
It can be learned from the Table 2.1-1 that the flood passing in Scheme II will result in less impact, the investment is moderate, and the land acquisition and relocation quantities in project are relatively small; The quanlities of embankment works in Scheme III are relatively less than that in Scheme II, but the land acquisition and relocation quantities in project in Scheme III is more, and the investment is great too. Try best to minimize the resettlement is the principle in conformity with the “Involuntary Resettlement Policy”. Through comprehensive analysis and comparison, the Scheme II will be adopted as the flood-control scheme. 2) The direction of alignments shall be based on the existing embankments in so far as possible. In design, try to occupy less area. Try best to lay the embankment alignment along the river in the section with no resident or few resident. Try best to minimize the house demolition and avoid occupying the cultivated lands of relatively good irrigation. In the densely populated areas of cities and towns, the alignment of new embankments shall be kept away from the high-rise buildings or multi-floor buildings to minimize the quantities of demolition and relocation works. 3) Optimize the construction design, shorten the construction period, and reasonably arrange the house relocation and construction period, try best to reduce the losses of resettlers’ properties. For example, the house relocation and rebuilding shall be conducted in the farm slack season, and the use the lands after reaping the young crops on them. Try best to utilize the wastelands as the expropriated land, because on which the construction period is long (over two years). 4) In the design, fully consider the inconvenience brought about to the life and production of local residents due to the embankment construction. In general, for the convenience of local residents, recover the damages of channel system, mechanical dock, communications facilities and other infrastructure after embankment construction to ensure the complete functions of infrastructure. 2.1.2 Measures for Reducing the Impact due to Land Acquisition in Project Construction The lands occupied in this project are distributed in linear form. As for the whole project area, the project construction will not greatly affect the local industrial and agricultural production, people’s livelihood and social economy. The land acquisition and relocation along the linear area will not bring about much impact. But for minimizing the impacts on the local area due to the project construction in so far as possible, special attention will be paid to set out the construction site and
16 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
choose the construction scheme, and prevent the unnecessary land acquisition and house demolition. The following measures shall be adopted: 1) Before demolition and relocation, organize the relevant persons to conduct the on-spot survey. Try to relocate less or do not relocate the houses that are unnecessary or can be partly removed in practice. 2) Before building demolition due to the temporary land occupation by the project, report to the unit of owner via PMO to empty the buildings. Or set up the temporary housing in the unit area for resettlement. After the project completion, set up new buildings and return to the original owner or employer unit. 3) For losses suffered by resident due to the demolition and relocation, adequate compensation shall be paid according to the replacement value. Try best to minimize unfavorable impacts on resettlers. 4) The resettlement area shall be located at the place close to the original residential areas so as to maintain the existing social relationship for the affected people, and on the other hand it will also reduce the commuting distance for the affected people. 5) Notify the affected enterprises in advance, and arrange sites for relocating them. Compensate their losses, try best to shorten the interruption period, and negotiate with the County Project Management Office to provide proper rehabilitation for affected employees. 6) During relocation and resettlement, for the convenience of residents and enterprises to be resettled, for carrying on the resettlement work smoothly, and minimizing the loss and relieving the burden on resettlers, the concerned local functional departments shall vigorously support the resettlers. 7) Strengthen the system of public participation. Before the project construction, clarify the project commencement time and planned project construction progress by putting Notice in the project affected area and the resettlement area, make the compensation policies for land acquisition and resettlement public, and undergo the supervision from the resettlers and original residents in resettlement areas; In project construction period, use the local materials by preference. For benefiting the affected persons from the project construction, use the local transports and laborers if the technical conditions allowed. 8) Reduce the dust and strengthen the health management for builders. The construction unit shall carefully plan the route for transporting the earthwork and stonework. Measures shall be adopted to guarantee that the soils and stones will not be sprinkled along the way while the truck full of loading, and thus affect the environment tidiness. In construction period, a large number of laborers will come to the worksite to undertake all kinds of works and services. In
17 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
order to guarantee the public security and orders in work site and the health of various groups in construction area during the course of construction, the project construction unit shall supervise and urge the builders to obey the regulations of local environment sanitation department, toughen the management on the healthy protection for builder group, timely clear the domestic waste on construction site, so as to keep the construction area tidy, and to prevent the occurrence and contagion of infectious diseases. 2.2 Investigation on Project Effects 2.2.1 Investigation Contents During December 2004~January 2005, Hunan Province Hydraulic and Hydropower Design Institute, together with the Xinhua County Water Resources Bureau, the government at various levels, had formed a joint investigation team. The team conducted the comprehensive survey on the project effects in project-affected area according to the coverage determined in the project design and the 1:2000 geologic type topographic map in hand. The contents of investigation included the land acquisition, the land acquisition affected population, houses to be demolished and relocated, and auxiliary facilities, scattered trees, individuals engaged in small business, enterprises and institutions, and agricultural sideline production facilities and special facilities, etc. 2.2.2 Investigation Method 1) Investigation on Land Acquisition: The investigators on-spot clearly found out the ownership of various lands according to the 1:2000 topographic map in hand. Measured and calculated the area of cultivated land, garden plot, woods, and various lands in the unit of villager’s group. 2) Demographic Census: During the course of demographic census due to the land acquisition and demolition, affected people was classified into three kinds, affected by land acquisition without relocation, affected by demolition and relocation without land-acquisition, and affected by both land acquisition and relocation. The actual affected population was further divided with regard to the non-agricultural population and agricultural population, through the comprehensive investigation on unit of household concerning the nationality, age structure, education background, and employment status. The population was checked on site according to the household register card, and the results of survey were registered in detailed lists for each family. 3) Investigation on Houses and Auxiliary Facilities: The comprehensive survey was conducted on structures of houses. The areas of houses were measured, the quantities of auxiliary facilities were counted household by household, and then they were registered in detailed lists.

2) Temporary Land Acquisition The construction temporary land acquisition refers to the temporarily-borrowed land in the project construction period, including land acquisition of stone material yard, construction plant, construction warehouse, and temporary area for livelihood and temporary construction road during construction period.
① The total area of the construction plant, construction warehouse, temporary area for living
quarters for the contractors, and temporary structures in the project is 15000m2. As they are mainly allocated in the project permanent land acquisition range along the embankment, there will be no temporary land acquisition impact to the layout of the construction plant, construction warehouse, and temporary area for livelihood during construction period.
② As the existing roads will be destroyed during project implementation process, corresponding
compensation costs shall be paid to the county administration department. As the compensation costs are included in the project contract as one part of the project costs, they will be paid by the construction Contractor. Accordingly, the project construction temporary road land acquisition will not be counted and the compensation costs will not be estimated in the report.
③ The main temporary land occupation impacts come from the soil material yard in the project,
including Shizishan soil material yard, and Baishahe soil material yard. Two administrative villages, and three villager’s groups of Nongfeng and Baisha in Meiyuan Development Zone are involved. Various land with an area of 174.5 mu are temporarily expropriated, of which, dry farmland, 33.4 mu, timber forest land, 18.4 mu, shrubbery land, 36.7 mu, wasteland, 86 mu, and the mean time limit for land borrow is two years. See table 2.3-3 for details of the statistical conditions of the investigation results of the temporary land acquisition in this project.

2.3.2 Affected Population Due to Project 1) Affected Population Due to Land Acquisition The investigation of the affected population due to land acquisition of the project will be counted from two aspects, one is the actually affected population due to land acquisition of the project; the other is the number of agricultural population need economic rehabilitation according to the principle of Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China, namely, the economic rehabilitation shall be rearranged to the agricultural population who has lost all of their main productive materials - cultivated land. Based on the physical indices during the course of investigation on relocation and demolition of land acquisition in the project, the population in need of economic rehabilitation will be counted in villagers’ groups. The agricultural population in need of economic rehabilitation in the project will be obtained with the area of land acquisition divided by cultivated land per capita of each group before land acquisition. And the result of population was 637 persons. As the project is distributed in linear shape along Zishui River, for most affected persons, they would only lose small part of lands. According to the on-site investigation and statistics, 622 households (1897 persons) are actually affected by land acquisition in the project, of which, 596 households (1839 persons) will be actually affected by permanent land acquisition in the project, averaging only 0.25 mu cultivated land losses per capita.

According to the investigation, all the 2018 affected resettlers by the land acquisition and resettlement in the project area are from Han Nationality. Accordingly, there is no family from ethnic minority. There are 65 vulnerable persons in 16 households affected by the project, accounting for 3.22% of the total affected population. They are mainly the elder and the poor population with the annual income less than 856 yuan/year. During resettlement process, the affected vulnerable groups in the project will be further confirmed through comparison and analysis between the member structures in terms of resettlers’ family member structure, employment status of labor, family resource conditions, and other conditions and the data of the local civil affairs departments. Once the affected households are proved to be the vulnerable groups, the project execution agency will give special help to them in the process of resettlement implementation. 2.4 Impact Analysis of Project 2.4.1 Impact Characteristics 1) In the project land acquisition area, the impact on the population and residential houses is relatively small, whereas the affected cultivated land is numerous. The affected population by the project demolition occupies 1.69% of the total population in the village and group, and the affected cultivated land occupies 10.11% of the total cultivated land in the village and group. 2) The affected population and house by the project construction is 32 households (172 persons) and 5272 m2 respectively, they are all located in the rural area of Chengjiao District, Xinhua County, and distributed in five villages and 9 villager’s groups in Meiyuan Development Zone, the distribution is relatively scattered. Among the houses to be demolished, about 93.55% houses are brick concrete and brick wood structures, and the brick concrete structure occupies 65.66% of the houses to be demolished. 3) The permanent land acquisition with an area of 473.4 mu is required for the project construction, of which, the cultivated land to be acquisitioned is 444.11 mu(including paddy field, 366.8 mu, dry farmland, 95.94 mu, and market vegetable plot, 2 mu), accounting for 93.81% of the total land to be acquisitioned. The rest 6.19% is rural housing plot and land for enterprises. About 596 households (1839 resettlers) will be directly affected by project land acquisition, and 637 resettlers need resettlement. The cultivated land to be acquisitioned are distributed in 6 villages and 41 villager’s groups in Meiyuan Development Zone, with the linear and scattered characteristics 4) There is no important special facilities in the project land acquisition and resettlement area, except for few high-voltage transmission lines and telecommunication lines, the rest is the rural minor infrastructure.

2.4.2 Evaluation of Impact Analysis The construction of project will damage the original production system in the affected area, and certain impacts will be brought to the local production and livelihood accordingly. The losses of the land resources will destroy the material conditions for livelihood of part of the farmers, so they shall adapt to new environment for working and livelihood again. The staffs of the design unit have fully considered the destructive effect of land acquisition on the local production and livelihood system in the process of project design, and accordingly, they have constantly optimized the project design, adopted project measures to reduce the area of land acquisition, and relieved the impacts of project construction on local production and livelihood. Therefore, the project construction will not bring about catastrophic damage to the original production and livelihood system in each village. For the whole project area, its impact is local, and no large impact will be made to the local agricultural production, people’s livelihood, and development of social economy. At the same time, as the project is distributed in linear shape along Zishui River, most areas often suffer from flood and waterlogging disasters, which restricts the development of local economy. The project construction has provided a chance for reconstruction of production system and social system for resettlers. After completion of the project, the capability of flood control and emergency service along the new embankment will be greatly improved, and the disastrous degree of flood will be reduced, so as to provide furthest a better environment that safeguard peoples’ lives and properties and to benefit economic development in the project area. In addition, in combination with RP implementation such as adjustment of agricultural planting structure and improvement of irrigation and water conservancy facilities as well as reclamation of cultivated land, full exploitation of land resources potential is also a vital element of the protective policies on cultivated land used for land occupation of project construction to execute the land management law. According to the compenstation system for cultivated land occupation, and the principle of “Land Quantity to be Reclaimed Should be Equivalent to that Occupied for Construction”, the compensation will be made to the lost cultivated land so as to reach the balance of occupation and compensation, and by RP the resettlers will be relocated in the areas with considerably superior natural and traffic conditions, and social environment. Additionally, the preference and support will be given to the resettlers in the aspects of policies, technologies, funds and substances, so as to ensure that they will restore or reach the former level as soon as possible.

3.5 Social and Economic Effects for Resettlement to the Affected Population The project implementation will produce a certain impact on socio-economic factor: 1) In recent years, Xinhua County had the second and tertiary industries in accelerated development, especially the Meiyuan Development Zone, as the economic and technological development zone, and had the second and tertiary industries booming development. The 6 affected villages are in Meiyuan Development Zone with superior geological locations, good infrastructure conditions, where the local farmers have a lot of opportunities in non-farm employment, such as day labor and small business. Most those surplus labor forces have moved into the second and tertiary industry or individual business, gradually moving out of reliance on the land. According to the investigation, in 2003 in the affected villagers and villager’s groups, there were 4963 rural labor forces (7680 agricultural population), including 1667 non-agricultural population of industry, architecture, traffic, wholesale and retail, accounting for 33.56% of the rural labor forces. Through analysis on the incomes structure, the annual total income of the affected households was 11786 yuan in 2003, including 2181 yuan for the agricultural incomes, only accounting for 18.51% of the total income, and 5891 yuan for the non-agricultural incomes, accounting for 49.98% of the total income. The investigation shows that in spite of the land loss, the local farmers will suffer the decrease of agricultural incomes, however, owing to the small proportion for plantation in the total incomes, they will have little impacts on their production and living. 2) For farmers with land plantation as their main livelihood resources, the land loss will result in the loss of complete or partial production means, however, as the project is linearly distributed along the Zishui River, the land acquisition of the project will result in not big influence on the agricultural production of resettlers, on average every affected village will lose their land of 13.97%. According to the on-site investigation, it is known that, in the affected 41 villager’s groups, 29 groups have the cultivated land proportion of less than 20%. In addition, the land acquired for the project is basically the land in Zhexi Reservoir degrading area for the local farmers to plant (the cultivated land is usually or seasonably submerged with low actual output, thus not included within the scope of farmers’ land contracted area), most of the contracted land has not been influenced by the project, so the farmers can utilize the land compensation costs to take on the other non-agricultural operations such as small business, which would increase their incomes and mitigate their poverty-stricken status. The other 12 groups have the 20%~40% land occupied by the project, so a part of farmers suffer the impacts of land occupation. The PMO plans to take the agricultural resettlement mode such as farmland and fruits garden development to preserve their traditional production mode and livelihood source, to ensure restoring or even improving their
48 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
incomes and livelihood within the shortest time, so the land occupation will produce great impacts on them. 3) For relocated households, the process of moving and decorating new houses will consume certain manpower and material resources for the affected households, which need to be considered by the project sponsors. The PMO will, according to the associate policies, compensate their loss by way of providing the necessary livelihood subsidy such as moving and traffic costs, complete infrastructure costs around the new housing plot. In addition, the PMO and the local village committees will provide the necessary assistance. Therefore, the impacts from the project will be reduced to the minimum. 4) For the 4 relocated enterprises and businesses, which have small size and staff members, as the resettlement is guided by the principle of moving backward around the original sites with short moving distance, the business stoppage, moving subsidy and production equipment loss will acquire the compensation, in addition to the assistance from the local government and project functional departments, their normal operation will be restored or developed within the short time. The project construction brings about some influences but no severe to the relevant facilities of residents and enterprises in the project area. After it completes, it will create favourable conditions for further development of Xinhua County, and realize the sustainable swift growth of economy.

The compensation or rehabilitation will be processed according to their loss type and quantity, and
63 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
whether the loss is within the final construction drawing finished within the time limit regulated by the government; or will be treated as being temporarily affected in the construction period. After the cut-off date, the cultivated land, built houses or resettlement of the affected people in the project affected area will not meet the compensation or subsidy conditions. 4.3.2 Principles of Compensation Rehabilitation 1) The RAP should be based on the social and economic survey and the statistics of the physical indices surveyed in the affected project area. It should also conform to the current national and local land acquisition laws and policies as well as Involuntary Resettlement Policy established by ADB. During the implementation of the RAP, once the detailed methods of Hunan Province regarding the Decision by the State Council about Deepening Reformation and Strictly Enforcing Land Administration (GF [2004] NO.28) are issued, this project should made necessary adjustment according to the requirements of the relevant policies. 2) The engineering design should be optimized in order to protect the land and minimize the impact by the land acquisition and resettlement. To minimize the number of involuntary relocatees, the project should avoid the areas with high population density and multi-storied buildings as much as possible. Better construction methods and other measures should be taken to reduce the disturbance to people. 3) All the compensations and resettlements for the involuntary relocatees should be a part of the project. In order to benefit the relocatee, sufficient funds should be available to them. 4) It should be ensured that all the affected persons’ loss caused by the project would be compensated before the remove. Reasonable resettlement and effective rehabilitation should be conducted and provide assistance for their temporary difficulties during transfer. 5) It should be ensure that, after the resettlement, the living conditions, productivity and income level of all affected persons could come back to or exceed the level without the project. 6) The houses or other properties will be compensated by replacement value, without taking out the depreciation and other form of discount. The compensation can be compensated by either the currency compensation or replacement in kind. 7) All the persons and buildings that are negatively affected by the project should be compensated. The compensation and help should not be canceled because of the incompleteness of residence register, lease and operation register. 8) No compensation or relocation could be given to the people who enters the project area and occupies any land or house beyond the deadline as stipulated. Anyone who refuses to sign the compensation for relocation contract or refuses to remove after the contract was signed will be treated according to relevant judicial programs or laws.
64 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
9) Relocatees’ loss will be compensated during the moving and transfer process. The recommended host area should be provided with elementary basic infrastructure and service facilities . 10) Non-residential units’ loss caused by remove and suspension of business will be compensated. Reconstruction within the affected areas and relocation in outside area should conform to the planning requirements, as well as the second- remove should be avoided in the coming days. 11) Vulnerable group should be treated reasonably. The project sponsor should help them with choosing and moving their houses. 12) The owners of the infrastructure should be compensated. The compensation should be used for the reconstruction of affected infrastructure and rehabilitation of the function. 13) Land acquisitioned and the loss caused by land acquisition should be compensated reasonably. Compensation for land acquisition will be paid to the collective organization to develop the collective economy, improve the public facilities and provide rehabilitation to affected villagers. The resettlement subsidies will be paid to the resettlement sponsors or the resettled individuals to pay the insurance fee. 14) All the fees for land acquisition should be paid within three months after the compensation and resettlement program get approved. It should also be no later than the day the land is put into construction use. 15) Generally, the temporarily land acquisition should not be longer than two years. The user should restore the conditions of the occupied cultivated land within one year after its occupation. When the collective land is occupied, a temporary land acquisition contract should be signed between the temporary land occupier and the collective economic organization or the residential committee and compensation for temporary land acquisition should be paid. The temporary land acquisition compensation should cover the loss to the former owner and user of the land (including the agriculture taxes). The standard of compensation should be increased and the former user of the land should be resettled appropriately if the use purpose or property right of the land changes when it was returned. If the temporarily land acquisition exceeds two years, the acquisition procedure should be handled again. 16) In order to guarantee the livelihood level and income will not be reduced by land acquisition and relocation, the all affected people will be provided with work opportunity. Resettle according to the land and support the second and tertiary industries. If the condition is permitted, farmers can choose work on their own will. 17) Encourage the relocatee to participate in the preparation of resettlement planning and the process of resettlement; let the relocatee know the compensation and resettlement policies and standards. It should widely collect opinions of the affected persons during survey, and incorporate them in the
65 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
RP report. 18) Seriously consider the complaints made by the affected person and help them with their difficulties and inconvenience in land acquisition and relocation reasonably and practically. The problems or dissatisfactions with the compensation standards should be resolved mainly through negotiation. If negotiation does not work, arbitration even a country appeal could be carried out. Any compulsive actions by the resettlement sponsor should conform to relevant laws. 19) Relative organizations should cooperate together to intensify the resettlement organizations at all levels and train all the staff that will go to their duties. 20) In the process of the project, the county PMO is responsible for monitoring the interior implement of the project, hiring an independent organization to do the exterior monitoring and submitting the monitoring report to ADB periodically. Resettlement Assessment will be carried out after the project. 21) Any important changes made in the implement of resettlement (such as decreasing the compensation standards, changing the location or scale of the land acquisition for the project, new sub-project, changing any sub-project into a domestic invested one) should be reported to ADB in advance. If necessary, the resettlement planning can be revised or other resettlement can be prepared. 22) If other non-ADB project demolition occurs ahead or simultaneously in the ADB project area, the ADB project can take the advantage of other project under the condition that all the compensation and resettlement standards accord to the resettlement planning. 4.3.3 Compensation reference and standard for land acquisition 4.3.3.1 Permanent Land Acquisition of Project z Collectively Owned Land 1) Compensation Standard for Cultivated Land Acquisition
① Analysis on Output Value of Cultivated Land
Price of grains and oils: The prices of main agricultural products are determined by analysis on the market price provided by Xinhua County. Output value of cultivated land per mu: According to field survey and statistic materials of Xinhua County, the crops planted on the paddy fields of the project area are mainly the double cropping rice and a small quantity of quarter semilate rice, soybean, rape, vegetable; the crops planted on the dry farmlands are mainly the corn and other grains, soybean, sweet potato, Irish potato, earthnut, vegetable, and melon and fruit, etc. According to statistical annals, average output value of cultivated land per mu of every village in the project area from 2001 to 2003 was calculated.
66 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
Output value of cultivated land per mu: The output value of main product was calculated on basis of the price of grains and oils, yield of cultivated land per mu, as well as average sown area of various crops on the cultivated land per mu; output value of sideline product shall be determined by proportion of output value of main product according to analysis on the relevant material. Through calculation, annual output value of paddy field per mu is 1148.63 yuan, whereas annual output value of dry farmland per mu is 804.03 yuan. For details, see Table 4.3-1.
② Multiple of Land Compensation and Resettlement Subsidy
According to the relevant regulations from Methods of Hunan Province for Implementing the Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China, land compensation for the acquired cultivated land shall be set at 6 times of the average annual output value of the land per mu in the previous 3 years before land acquisition, and resettlement subsidy for each persons requiring economic rehabilitation is 4 times of the output value per mu. Taking the villagers’ groups affected by land acquisition and relocation in 2004 as the statistical unit, it is calculated that the per capita cultivated land owned by agricultural population in the project area is 0.76 mu, which converts into the resettlement subsidy multiple of cultivated land per mu is 5.26. The young crops of less than one year growth period is compensated according to output value of a quarter; and the cost of young crops is calculated as 40 percent of the annual output value according to farming system of the cultivated land in the project area.

③ Unit price of compensation
According to annual output value of the cultivated land per mu in the project area as well as compensation multiple, the unit price of compensation is calculated as 13393 yuan for paddy field per mu, and 9375 yuan for dry farmland per mu. Whereas market vegetable plot is set at 18393 yuan per mu according to compensation standard for paddy field plus construction fund for new pot garden with the price of 5000 yuan per mu . 2) Compensation Standard for Rural Housing Plot According to the relevant regulations from Methods of Hunan Province for Implementing the Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China, the land compensation fee for the villagers’ housing plots shall comply with compensation standards for the vicinal paddy field. If the villagers’ housing plots need to be rebuilt, the resettlement subsidy shall be paid according to the classification standard for the rebuilding sites. Rebuilding sites of the villagers’ housing plots in this project are mainly the timber land, and resettlement subsidy of other woodland acquisition is set at 50 percent of resettlement subsidy standard for the paddy field near the land. So the land compensation fee for the villagers’ housing plots is set at 6892 yuan per mu according to compensation standard for paddy field, and the resettlement subsidy 3021 yuan per mu according to compensation standards for timber land. And compensation fee for forest is calculated as twice of average annual output value of timber land. Through investigation and analysis, average annual output value of timber land is set at 460 yuan according to 40 percent of annual output value of paddy field. Based on this calculation, the unit price of the compensation fee for the villagers’ housing plots is 10373 yuan per mu. z State-owned Land The affected state-owned land in this project is mainly used by the units affected in the demolishment for building their offices and some facilities for production. According to the relevant regulations from Methods of Hunan Province for Implementing the Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China, the land compensation fee for land acquisition for enterprises shall comply with compensation standards for the vicinal paddy field. If the land acquisition for enterprises needs to be rebuilt, the resettlement subsidy shall be paid according to the classification standard for the rebuilding sites. Four enterprises and institutions affected by the project rebuild after resettlement in their existing village. Rebuilding sites are mainly paddy fields, so compensation standard of land acquisition for enterprises is set at 13393 yuan per mu with reference to unit price of compensation for paddy

4.3.3.2 Temporary Land Acquisition in the Project Compensation fee for temporary land acquisition in this project includes the cost of young crops, compensation fee for land loss and the reclamation cost. Compensation fee for land loss is mainly used for compensating total amount of output or income of landowner of the original land, whereas the reclaiming expense is mainly used for reclaiming temporary land after return. Compensation fee for land loss is determined by the annual output value and occupation time of the land, whereas the reclamation cost is determined by the actual expense of reclaiming. 1) Unit price of compensation for temporary land acquisition According to materials provided by design organization, temporary sites for construction in this project are mainly the borrow pits, which contain dry farmland, shrub land on the slope and hillock as well as waste mountains and waste slope. The total project duration is 47 months. Considering the construction of embankment project that needs to be conducted by means of annual distribution and section division, the time limit of temporary land acquisition in the construction site is set at 2 years. The annual output value of dry farmland is set at 804 yuan per mu, and the cost of young crops is set at 322 yuan as the 40 percent of the annual output value. The average annual output value of timber land is set at 460 yuan per mu according to 40 percent of vicinal paddy field, and the compensation fee for forest is set at 460 yuan according to average annual output value of timber land; Whereas shrub land is set at 345 yuan per mu as the 30 percent of the vicinal paddy field, and the compensation fee for forest is set at 345 yuan according to annual output value of shrub land. The compensation fee for temporary wasteland acquisition is free from payment. Based on these calculations, the unit price of compensation for temporary land acquisition is, respectively, 1930 yuan for dry farmland per mu, 1380 yuan for timber land per mu, and 1035 yuan
70 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
for shrub land per mu.
2) The Expense of Reclaiming Temporary Land Acquisition According to Temporary Land Rehabilitation Plan in the project, both the engineering measures and plant measures works for restoring the temporary site for construction are included in the soil and water conservation design. Only the reclamation of the temporarily occupied dry farmland is planned in this time, and the reclaiming area is 33.4 mu. Through analysis on the working quantities and the unit price of reclaiming per mu cultivated land of the borrow pit, the expense of reclaiming cultivated land is calculated as 3439 yuan per mu. For details of analysis on the unit price of reclaiming cultivated land per mu, see Table 4.3-3.

4.3.4 The Relocation Compensation Reference and Standard for Residential House and Auxiliaries 1) Residential house
71 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
The dwellers’ residential houses in the project area are of mostly rural brick concrete structure, brick wood structure. In order to develop the reasonably compensation standards to make relocated household acquire the compensation equal to the replacement value, investigation and analysis on the resettlement prices of brick concrete buildings and brick wood houses in the project-affected area are carried out along with investigation on physical indices (for details of analysis result of the unit price of replacement value, see Table 4.3-5). The material consumption of house construction is determined according to the relevant quota from Quota Manual of Architecture and Construction.

5. Resettlement And Rehabilitation Measures 5.1 Rehabilitation Objectives Make proper compensation and appropriate resettlement in order to insure the productivity, income level and living conditions of the affected people could be rehabilitated or improved. 5.2 Calculation of Resettlers Population According to the investigation, 628 households with 2018 people are affected by the project and land acquisition, of which 32 households with 172 people should be resettled and 637 agriculture populations should be provided economic rehabilitation. According to the schedule of the project, the start of the resettlement is in the year 2005, which is close to the investigation basic year, so this project is planned according to the result of the investigation, no need to taking the nature increase of population into account. 5.2.1 Population Need Economic Rehabilitation As this project is distributed along the Zishui River in liner shape, a majority of affected people will only lose their partial lands. According to on-site investigation, the embankment construction will permanently occupy cultivated lands of 444.11mu, and the demolition and reconstruction of enterprises and institutions will occupy paddy fields of 20.64mu. The acturally affected people will amount to 1839 persons in 596 households, and the average loss of cultivated land is 0.25 mu. The population for economic rehabilitation refers to the agricultural populations (theoretical calculation data) who will lose main means of production and subject of labor due to the project occupation and hence need economic rehabilitation. The result is calculated group by group within the villagers’ group as unit and the index of cultivated land occupied by the project as basis, and according to the area of acquired cultivated lands in each group divided by the area of existing cultivated lands per person. The formula for calculation is as follows: K=K’ X S/ S’ Where: K refers to the existing population for economic rehabilitation in each villager’s group; S indicates the area of cultivated lands occupied by the project in each villager’s group; S’ refers to the area of existing cultivated lands in each villager’s group; and K’ indicates the existing agricultural populations in each villager’s group. Calculated with the above formula, 637 agricultural populations from 41 villager’s groups in 6 villages in Meiyuan Development Zone will need economic rehabilitation. See Table 5.2-1 for more details about result of population for economic rehabilitation in project-affected area.

5.2.2 Population for House Resettlement According to the on-site investigation, 10 villager’s groups in 5 administrative villages in Meiyuan Development Zone will be affected by the project. 172 persons in 32 households, all of them are rural populations, will be resettled and with 5272 m2 residential houses to be demolished. For statistics of the resettled populations in project areas, see Table 5.2-2. 5.2.3 Population Affected by Temporary Land Acquisition This project will temporarily acquire various lands of 174.50mu, including dry farmland of 33.40mu, timber forestland of 18.40mu, shrubbery forestland of 36.70mu and waste meadow of 86.00mu. 3 villager’s groups in 2 administrative villages in Meiyuan Development Zone will be involved, affecting 58 persons in 26 households. During the temporary land acquisition, the affected villagers can get compensation year by year. After land acquisition a series of projects, such as the engineering measure and plant measure of rehabilitation on the marked lands as well as the temporary stacking yard of cultivated soils, will be listed in the design of water and soil conservation; there is no economic rehabilitation because the re-cultivation of the temporarily acquired cultivated lands will be listed in the resettlement scheme, and these lands will be returned to the affected farmers after leveling and reclamation by using land reclamation fee. 5.3 General Scheme of Rehabilitation In the process of project design, the design unit well considered the devastation of land acquisition to the local production and livelihood and continuously optimized project design. By adopting engineering measure to reduce areas of land acquisition and demolition, the project construction will not create great negative influence to the existing production and livelihood system in each village. The opinions of relocatees has been gathered widely by means of interviews in the affected Sub-districts and villages (residential committee). According to the opinions and suggestions held by the relocatees and the situations in the affected areas, the general scheme of restoration has been established as follows: 1) The affected people will be resettled in their existing communities, which can retain the existing modes of production and the relations of livelihood and society, and facilitate the rehabilitation and the improvement of their production and income.

2) All the affected houses will be demolished before the accomplishment of new houses to reduce the impact to the resettlers’ production and livelihood. 3) After obtaining the compensation for young crops and ground attachments, the affected farmers will be resettled within their villager’s groups. Developing the agricultural production will be the main body of the economic rehabilitation, and the main method is the partial cultivated land adjustment in the original group with assistant developing measures of hydro-facilities improving, agricultural crop structure adjustment, low-yield farmland improving and changing the dry farmland to paddy field etc., so as to dig out potential of the existing land and ensure the food production capacity of the resettlement people. Of which, for the land adjustment with the collectively-owned land, the land compensation fee and the resettlement subsidies should be controlled and put into utilization by the villager’s group collective; for the farmers not involved in the land acquisition but included in the range of land adjustment, the resettlement subsidies should be directly paid to them. At the same time, by combining the resource situation in project affected area, direct cash compensation will be
92 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
conducted in some villager’s groups. The land compensation fee should be controlled and put into utilization by the villager’s group collective, and the resettlement subsidies should be directly paid to the farmers affected by the land acquisition. The affected farmers will be engaged in other agricultural activities by use of this compensation (such as adjustment of agricultural planting structure, development of green house vegetable ), or some non-agricultural activities (such as animal breeding), so their production and living standards will be soon rehabilitated. 5.4 Environmental Capacity Analysis The environmental capacity of resettlement area refers to the number of resettlers that an area can support and absorb with normal economic and ecological sustainability. The scope of this investigation on resettlement’s environmental capacity is based on the rehabilitation scheme that is proposed in the Resettlement Plan. As majority of the farmland in project areas have been cultivated by the owners, the agricultural populations who finally need rehabilitation by land have to share original land resources with residents in the host areas, and to get mutual benefit with local residents. To achieve this objective, a series of measures should be taken to increase agricultural income, such as increasing investment on agriculture, improving fertility of field, changing variety of crops, transforming low-yield fields and changing dry farm lands into paddy fields. The comparison analysis on the change before and after land reallocation among the affected villages and groups (Table 5.3-1) indicates: the land area of the 41 affected villages in 6 villages will be reduced from 0.76 mu/person to 0.65 mu/person after land acquisition, with average reduction of 0.11 mu/person, 13.97% of the average land held per capita. 1) There are 12 groups in the 41 affected villager’s groups with their cultivated lands decreased by 20%~40%; 11 groups by 10%~20%; and 18 groups below 10%. 2) In the 41affected villager’s groups, there are 28 groups with their surplus cultivated lands above 0.5 mu per person after land acquisition. The 8th group in Ziyuan Village has the most surplus lands, being 1.23mu per capita. The affected cultivated lands are mainly the lands in degrading area, Zhexi Reservoir that cultivated by the local farmers, not including the contracted lands of the farmers, so the project has little impact on their production and livelihood. The ameliorative measures, including increasing investment, improving soil fertility, adjusting farming system, replanting improved crops variety, building farmland water resources facilities, and reinforcing field management, shall be adopted to full exploitation for the potential in increase of production level and unit area yield of the current cultivated land, so as to reach the resettlement target value. 3) However there are 13 groups in Shangdu village and Zijiang Village with their average farmland
93 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
below 0.5 mu per person after land acquisition. Among them, the 11th group of Zijiang Village has the largest reduction with 39.09% of loss, with the land holding being 0.27 mu/person, and partial contracted farmlands of farmers will be affected by the land acquisition. Because the agricultural populations who finally need rehabilitation by land have to share original land resources with residents in the host areas, though it can improve production value of cultivated land in unit area, the bearing capacity of land is limited, so it is hard to ensure mutual benefits for the resettlers and the local residents. For these affected households, they will get economic rehabilitation by improving irrigation facilities and farming conditions as well as developing cultivated lands and orchards. Therefore, the environmental capacity in the project affected areas will be satisfied by relaying on the land, adopting the method of development resettlement, encouraging the resettlers to engaged in existing industries and creating chances for the development of the second and tertiary industries.

5.5 Resettlement Plan 5.5.1 Rehabilitation Plan for House Demolition 5.5.1.1 Choice of Rehabilitation Method From November to December 2004, the resettlement design unit carried out the on-site investigation, optimization and demonstration in collaboration with Xinhua County PMO and the local governments at various levels. According to the practical situations of project-affected area and resettlers’ opinions, the mode of scattered resettlement in their existing village has been adopted to the resettlers’ relocation in this project. The agreement of relocation and resettlement will be concluded between the relocatees and the Project Execution Agency & Enforcement Body for Removal and Relocation of Land Acquisition. And the villagers’ group of the affected resettlers will choose resettlement locations according to the resettlers’ desires, and unifiedly arrange the demolition and the reconstruction of housing plot. 5.5.1.2 Principle and Procedure of Selecting Resettlement Sites 1) Principles The aim of rehabilitation of housing condition is to provide the relocated households with safe, convenient and graceful living environment.
①The new residential areas should have good terrain and geological conditions and reliable
drinking water source.
②The location of new residential areas should be compatible with the economic rehabilitation
plan.
③The location of new residential areas should be convenient for production, living and
management.
④Save land, especially the cultivated land, as much as possible.
⑤Take the future population increase into account and leave rooms for further development.
⑥The distribution of houses in the residential areas should be based on the terrain conditions and
take the lighting, ventilation, sanitation and greening conditions into account.
⑦The design of houses should meet the requirements of the relocatees and their investment
abilities. 2) Procedures Based on the above principles, after on-site investigation and analysis on the terrain, geological,
95 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
traffic, power and water source conditions, the location of new residential area is selected after negotiation with representative of relocatee and local government, taking the relocatees’ living and production conditions into account. 5.5.1.3 Planning of Remove and Housing In the area of Xinhua County, this project affects 5 administrative villages in Meiyuan Development Zone, Xinhua County. 172 persons in 32 households will be relocated, all of them are rural populations. According to the relocatees’ wishes and the practical situations of project-affected area, it was determined that all the rural populations will be scatteredly resettled in their existing villages. According to the principle of ‘unified planning, unified land acquisition and separate construction’, they will be compensated that is sufficient to build a house similar to the existing one and they are responsible to build their new house on the land arranged by the village. The land used for rebuilding the house is timber forestland, and the area is determined as 180 M2/household according to the relevant rules and standards stipulated in the extant national Land Administration Law, Implementation Regulation of Land Administration Law by Hunan Province. Due to the different influence caused by the project construction differentiating from one village to another in the project area as well as the different resources structure and infrastructure conditions in each village, according to the villagers’ opinion, the actual situations and the principle of ‘convenient for production and easy to live’, each village should provide more than 1 different resettlement site in which 2 to 7 households can be resettled. In addition, the villages should also provide necessary assistance in the process of house reconstruction and relocation. According to the standard of using the land, the standard of resettlement compensation and local custom, this project team designed 4 types of house for the resettlers as reference. To rebuild their houses, the resettlers can follow the design or design their houses by themselves according to their wishes and economic situations. The details of house examples are shown in attached Figure 2. The detailed planning of demolition and resettlement are shown in Table 5.5-1.

5.5.1.4 Infrastructure There is no special planning since the scattered resettlement in existing village can rely on existing infrastructure and social service systems. For affected local infrastructure facilities, in addition to provide compensation and restore them to original conditions and functions, the local governments could also, according to the local economic situation and the principle of ‘convenient for production and easy to live’, reasonably improve the facilities in the resettlement areas by providing additional funding or increasing the investment, making overall arrangement and constructing at the same time. The construction of infrastructure in resettlement locations will be unifiedly carried out by the development zone and village, and all the investments will be emanated from the infrastructure compensation. 5.5.1.5 Assistance in Resettlement Process The land acquisition and resettlement implementation agency will be responsible for assisting resettlers at every aspect in the whole process of the resettlement: 1) Understand and try to satisfy the relocatees’ needs before the relocation and resettlement. 2) Help the resettlers dealing with their businesses such as arranging the vehicles and assisting the removal in the process of relocation. 3) Try to realize the resettlers’ comfort and discomfort and try to solve their difficulties in time after the relocation and resettlement. 5.5.2 Economic Rehabilitation Plans 5.5.2.1 Standards of Economic Rehabilitation According to the actual situations in the project area, such as the status of means of agricultural production and the local production level of agriculture, and the level analysis on input and output
97 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
of economic rehabilitation subjects in the project area, it comprehensively determined the standards of economic rehabilitation as follows: the development and adjustment of cultivated lands will be determined according to extant average cultivated land per person; the development of orchards will be determined by 1.5mu/person; and the cash compensation will be determined according to the lost land of affected people. 5.5.2.2 Planning Scheme of Economic Rehabilitation From Dec. 2004 to Jan. 2005, under the cooperation of the county PMO and the relevant departments, the design units for resettlement carried out on-site investigation on the natural resources in the project affected area. Moreover in the process of impact investigation and resettlement planning, the resettlement design unit and the county PMO also held consultation meeting with development zone, village leaders and partial resettlers’ deputies affected by the project, especially discussing the scheme of economic rehabilitation. By analyzing the geographical locations, the land resources holding and the local residents’ incomes of each village along the project area, and based on extensive consultation among affected relocatees, the planning scheme of economic rehabilitation was developed as follows: developing 60mu cultivated lands for resettlement of 90 persons; developing 121.5mu orchards for resettlement of 81 persons; and relocating 466 persons by non-agriculture. See Table 5.5-2 for group-by-group economic rehabilitation scheme.

1) Reclamation of Cultivated Land According to investigation, 3 villager’s groups will be greatly affected by the land acquisition. The affected villagers are used to farming and lack of other skills for making a living, hence they are willing to keep their traditional mode of production and subject of livelihood. The resettlement team hopes that nearly 70 mu waste land at the section of Zhujialong (in existing village) can be developed into paddy fields by constructing relevant irrigation facilities, and re-allocate these paddy fields to the affected villagers. 69.92-mu cultivated lands will be developed to resettle 90 relocatees. 2) Development of Orchards According to investigation, there are more than 1500 mu timber forestlands in Zijiang Village, among which about 200 mu forestlands with the gradient being 15~20 degree can be developed. The thicknesses of these soils are generally 35 ~75 cm, the humic lays are 3~10 cm and the PHs
99 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
are 5.9~7.0. Being less erosive but more porous and fertile, these soils are suitable for planting of high-quality fruits. According to the desires of the villagers in the 4 greatly affected villager’s groups, the resettlement team plans to develop 121.5 mu orchards (mainly planting grape) of high standard for resettling 81 persons. The widths of orchards’ terraces are 2.5m, the depths of trenches are 1m and the green manuring is 5000 kg/mu. At each place one sentry of brick-wood structure and with the area of 16m2 will be built, the length of aqueduct is 300m, and the section of stone laying is 30 cmX40 cm. The resettlers, after skill training, can master a certain skills of planting and enforce training and management measures to the orchards, such as prevention and cure of sickness and worms, fertilization and shearing. This is to achieve that the fruit trees can yield some fruits in the third year but have the harvest in the fifth year with the yield of 2000 kg/mu. So the living standard of the resettlers can reach the existing one. 3) Resettlement by Non-agriculture According to investigation, the affected villages (groups) are all situated in the area of Zhexi Reservoir, and most of the affected cultivated lands are in degrading area, Zhexi Reservoir, and are cultivated by local farmers. These farmlands, usually or seasonally drowned, bears low actual production value, and hence aren’t listed in the area of contracted lands of the farmers. Therefore the contracted cultivated lands of the farmers in 34 villager’s groups (in the 41 affected villager’s groups) will not be affected by the land occupation, and their production and livelihood will be affected little too. These villagers (groups), according to the choices of most resettlers, will resettle the affected households by paying cash compensation directly, without adjustment of cultivated lands anymore. Since most affected persons have sufficient surplus cultivated lands, with these compensations they can engage in other activities but not agriculture, such as commerce, stockbreeding and transportation, which will increase their incomes and consequently get rid of poverty. This project plans to resettle 466 persons by means of non-agriculture. As the resettlement scheme is developed according to the opinions of most resettlers, if, several resettlers don’t agree to it and adopt other modes, the PMO will try their best to coordinate and solve it. If the resettlers have other income resources, such as the fixed management location at other place, the relevant management skill and equipment, and the relatively stable income resource, and are willing to make a living by themselves after getting cash compensation, they will be provided with resettlement subsidy after being verified their qualifications by the project implementation agency during the project implementation, signing resettlement agreement and making notarization; while in the villages (groups) adopting cash compensation, if, several resettlers ask for farmland to engage in farming, the project implementation agency will help them

getting farmlands to go on developing agriculture. 5.5.2.3 Investment Of Economic Rehabilitation 1) Develop Cultivated Land According to the local price level and other similar projects in the province, one-off investment for one new cultivated land is RMB 8613 yuan. See more details in Table 5.5-3. Investment charge of RMB 0.6022 million yuan will be used to develop 69.92 mu cultivated lands.

Paying the cash compensation for villager’s group directly will compensate the land loss of affected households. The total investment will be 4.118 million yuan. 4) Total Investment for Economic Rehabilitation Economic Rehabilitation totally need fund of 5.7146 million yuan according to the above analysis and calculations, as shown in Table 5.5-5.

5.5.2.4 Balance between Land Compensation Fee and Economic Rehabilitation Investment According to the relative resettlement article: “The land compensation and resettlement subsidies, is used by the institutions with land acquired for economic rehabilitation and development, and arranging the employment for the surplus labor forces caused by the land acquisition and livelihood subsidies for people incapable for work. It can also be contracted to the county (city) and be uniformly allocated by the county (city) for land development, production and livelihood resettlement for immigrants. But these special funds must be specially used. The funds shall not be privately shared or used for other purposes.” In case that the land compensation and resettlement subsidies cannot meet the requirements of production and resettlement, the resettlement subsidies can be increased according to the situation. Therefore, the land compensation fee and resettlement subsidies, as the only fund resource of the relocatees’ economic rehabilitation, must be equal to or more than the total investment of economic rehabilitation. The investment for production development project is 5.7146 million yuan in total, and the permanent land acquisition compensation fee and resettlement assistant fee in the project area total 5.9386 million yuan (See Table 11.2.1-1 for details), which are more than the required investment for economic rehabilitation of agricultural population, a little more than required investment for other economic rehabilitation. This indicates that the land compensation standard is considerably suitable, and can meet the fund requirement of economic rehabilitation. The fund margins can be uniformly used for continuous development by each village’s group, such as launching village-owned enterprises, land resources development and used as fund investment for other projects as improving low-yield farmland and converting dry farmland to paddy fields, etc., so as to ensure that the livelihood level of the immigrant reaches or exceeds their previous standard. 5.5.2.5 Rehabilitation Measures of Resettlers’ Economic Income Unit with responsibility for land acquisition and demolition will offer help and support to the relocatees as possible as he can during the whole course of relocatees livelihood recovery in this project. 1) Unit will distribute resettlement subsidy and help relocatees to become self-sustaining. The affected persons will enjoy the priority in labor service export of the county. 2) Unit will strengthen the training of production skills on relocatees and invite experienced specialists to coach the relocatees to develop cultivation industry and raising industry. 3) Unit will give first priority to the relocatees when hire labour for the project construction. Project construction will afford some employment chances including land levelling and greening project. Though some project tasks will be temporary (the income will be fixed as 800-1200 yuan /month per person according to the survey of similar working type income in Xinhua
105 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
County), local relocatees will be given short-term incomes that will advantage enhancing living level of affected people and recovering their livelihoods. 5.5.3 Planning of Economic Rehabilitation in Host Village Concerning different impact degree of various project affected villages, as well as different resources structures, infrastructure and so on, the resettlement schemes are also different in each village. In view of that the above resettlement planning is developed on the base of host village with economic rehabilitation tasks, the resettlement planning of each project affected village (excluding impact of temporary land occupation) is described in details as follows: 5.5.3.1 Shangdu Village of Meiyuan Development Zone Shangdu Village, an administrative village of Meiyuan Development Zone in Xinhua County, is located at the east bank of Zishui River, the north of Xinhua County Seat. There are 18 village’s groups in the whole village with 2960 persons in 937 households including 1200 non-agricultural people of 256 households and 1760 agricultural people of 681 households. In 2003 the total income of the village is 7.2193 million yuan, mainly coming from the non-agricultural incomes. The agricultural income is 0.47 million yuan, occupying 6.51% of the total income. The average net income of each person was 2460 yuan in 2003. Planting rice and vegetable are the main agricultures in Shangdu Village, and the rice is two-crop rice. There are 859.9 mu cultivated lands in total including 596.9 mu contracted cultivated land (515.9 mu paddy fields and 81 mu dry farmlands), 263 mu plowing lands in degrading area of Zhexi Reservoir. The average contracted land for each agricultural person in this village is 0.34 mu, and the actual cultivated land for plowing is 0.49 mu per person. The construction land acquisition and demolition of this project will actually affect 169 households with 500 people in 10 villager’s groups (include 38 residents of 11 households affected by demolition) by 125.43 mu paddy fields acquisition (include 20.64 mu cultivated land acquisition for the reconstruction of 4 enterprises and institutes in the project range). There are 0.55 mu of per capita residual cultivated land in these 10 affected villager’s groups; the reducing cultivated land for each person is 0.12 mu (reducing proportion is 17.01%) by comparing with the number before land acquisition (0.67 mu/person). The area of occupied lands are relative large in 1st, 5th and 6th groups,
the reducing proportion of cultivated land for each person are 31.14%、37.21% and 29.43%.
According to on-site investigation, as Shangdu Village is located at the area of Zhexi Reservoir, most of the construction acquisition lands are the plowing lands with low production value in Degrading area of Zhexi Reservoir which is flooded frequently or seasonally, and these lands will not be accounted into the contracted land area for local agricultural households. Therefore, the land
106 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
acquisition will have no effect to the contracted cultivated lands of local agricultural households; meanwhile have little effect to their production and livelihood. The detailed information of cultivated land acquisition in Shangdu Village shows in the above Table 5.3-1. Based on the extensive collection of relocatees’ desires and combining the actual situation of Shangdu Village, the village committee plans to adopt the following measures to resettle the relocatees in its village after collective discussion and study:
——Economic rehabilitation measures.①compensation in cash (the resettlement subsidy which is
one type of land acquisition compensation fees will be paid to affected households sufficiently according to some relevant national policies, and cultivated adjustment will be not conducted within the group) will be adopted for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 15th groups in Shangdu Village due to the little effect for them in land acquisition. Affected agricultural households will increase the agricultural input, improve agricultural condition or be engaged in other non-agricultural activities to make
money by use of the compensation funds.② There are nearly 70 mu waste land which is feasible
for development in Zhujialong section, the village committee will organize people to conduct field supporting facilities building and paddy field reclamation, and these lands will be distributed to the agricultural households who seriously affected by land occupying in 1st, 5th and 6th groups.
——Resettlement Planning of Demolition and Construction: According to the own choices of
resettlers, 8 persons of 3 affected households in 15th group will be arranged by move-back resettlement within the group, and other 30 persons of 8 affected households in 7th group will be arranged in the new housing plot which is located in village forestry center of 10th group collectively by village committee. The resettlement sites are the forestry ground for wood material supplying, the standard of reconstruction housing plots for demolition households is 180 m2, the resettles will build the new house in accordance with their wishes by self-demolition and self-construction. This project will give compensation to them for all their loss properties according to some relevant policies and provide necessary living subsidies (such as demolition transportation fee) and the fees of supporting infrastructure facilities for new housing plot for them, and at the same time, the project executing agency and village committee will also provide some necessary help for them during housing building period. 5.5.3.2 Tieniu Village of Meiyuan Development Zone Tieniu Village, an administrative village of Meiyuan Development Zone in Xinhua County, is located at the east bank of Zishui River, the north of Xinhua County Seat. There are 19 village’s groups in the whole village with 2139 persons in 561 households including 1662 agricultural people. In 2003
107 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
the total income of the village is 2.8641 million yuan, mainly coming from the non-agricultural incomes. The agricultural income is 0.6678 million yuan, occupying 23.32% of the total income. The average net income of each person was 2180 yuan at the end of 2003. Planting rice and vegetable are the main agricultures in Tieniu Village, and the rice is two-crop rice. There are 842.3 mu of cultivated lands in total including 734.3 mu of contracted lands (398.2 mu of paddy fields and 336.1 mu of dry farmlands), 108 mu of plowing lands in degrading area of Zhexi Reservoir. The average contracted land for each agricultural person in this village is 0.44 mu, and the actual cultivated land for plowing is 0.51 mu per person. The construction land acquisition and demolition of this project will actually affect 37 households with 102 people in 5 villager’s groups (with no house demolition) by 25 mu of cultivated lands acquisition (include 23 mu of paddy fields and 2 mu of vegetable plots). There are 0.67 mu of per capita residual cultivated land in these 5 affected villager’s groups; the reducing cultivated land for each person is 0.06 mu (reducing proportion is 7.89%) by comparing with the number before land acquisition (0.73 mu/person). The per capita cultivated land reducing proportions are all below 10%, and most of the construction acquisition lands are the plowing lands in degrading area of Zhexi Reservoir. Therefore, the land acquisition will have no effect to the contracted cultivated land of local agricultural households, meanwhile have little effect to their production and livelihood. The detailed information of cultivated land acquisition in Tieniu Village shows in the above Table 5.3-1. Based on the extensive collection of relocatees’ desires and combining the actual situation of Tieniu Village, the village committee plans to adopt the following measures to resettle the relocatees in its village after collective discussion and study:
——Economic rehabilitation measures. After the land acquisition by project construction, the per
capita remaining cultivated land in the 5 affected villager’s groups in Tieniu Village are all above 0.5 mu. Due to less impact caused by land acquisition on the production and livelihood of the local farmers, the cash compensation will be made, namely the resettlement subsidy which is one type of land acquisition compensation fees will be paid to affected households sufficiently according to some relevant national policies, and adjustment of cultivated land will be not conducted within the villagers’ group. The compensation funds will be used by affected farmers for increasing agricultural input, improving agricultural conditions, or engaging in other non-agricultural activities to create income. 5.5.3.3 Ziyuan Village of Meiyuan Development Zone Ziyuan Village, an administrative village of Meiyuan Development Zone in Xinhua County, is located at the east bank of Zishui River, the north of Xinhua County Seat. There are 14 village’s
108 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
groups in the whole village with 1663 persons in 405 households including 1163 agricultural people.

7. Public Participation and Harmonization with Residents in Relocation Sites 7.1 Public Participation Strategies According to relevant resettlement policies and national, provincial and local regulations, in order to maintain lawful rights and interests of resettlers and affected units, and to minimize complaints and dispute, detailed implementation measures of the resettlement plan will be worked out and institutional arrangement for resettlement implementation will be set up. In order to accomplish appropriate resettlement, a great deal of efforts has been made on resettlers’ participation and consultation in the phase of policy formulation, development, and implementation of resettlement plan. 7.2 Approaches and Measures of Public Participation 7.2.1 Participation Approaches Before launching investigation work, we compile general work outline, hear and accept local government’s opinion for the investigation contents, approaches and requirements, etc. Local government dispatches staff to take part in investigation group and work together. During the course of investigation at large, we invite principals and representatives of township, village and group to participate in investigation work, explain the importance of the project, project benefit, project impact, compensation principle and resettlement schedule, and discuss various rehabilitation options with affected people. In the phase of resettlement planning, the resettlement staff held discussions with all levels of leaders of county and development zone, collected their opinions, requirements, and existent problems, and identified resettlement sites. When investigating on the spot, local mass and concerned leaders shall participate in selecting resettlement location. It is proved that the consultation is very important in identifying and selecting resettlement location with long-term potential and establishing scheme that is easy to be accepted by resettlers. 7.2.2 Participation and Consultation Measures Public participation and consultation mainly adopts two ways of consultation meeting and sample survey of resettlers’ desires. Illustrate project building purpose, content and importance to the resettler representatives and discuss the matters concerned the resettlement planning together through these manners. Through investigation, great deal of efforts shall be made on public participation and consultation opinions by design units. On basis of no prejudice to the collectivity planning principle, housing construction scheme and economic rehabilitation modes should be consistent with mass opinions so that programming is in reason and resettlers are satisfied. In the stage of resettlement implementation, we still adopt the ways of consultation meeting and
127 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
sample survey of resettlers’ desires, collect resettlers’ information, investigate resettlers’ desire, and perfect further resettlement plan. To ensure that the resettlers and local government in the affected area understand the detailed information of the resettlement and compensation plan of the project, we made propaganda to the resettlers the laws and regulations on national resettlement through public participation (consultation meeting) or local media (such as TV) from the start to the implementation of resettlement plan, so resettlers will know exactly physical indices, the computing method of compensation rates and methods, resettlement measures, appropriation and usage of the resettlement compensation and allowance, the rights of the resettlers and favorable policies, etc. At the same time, similar information should also be disclosed to the residents in the demolition sites to make them know more about land occupation information, land compensation rates, usage of fund and resettlement information. We disclose resettlement work to gain the support and confidence from both groups to ensure the success of resettlement work. 7.3 Public Participation in the Process of Resettlement Planning In the stage of preparation and compilation of Resettlement Plan, all levels of local government and resettlers should take part in the following items of work: 1) From Nov. to Dec. 2004, the investigating impact on physical indices of relocation and demolition by land acquisition in the project was conducted by Xinhua County project resettlement Office, resettlement design units, Villagers’ groups and resettler representatives. In the process of Resettlement Planning, project resettlement office and resettlement design units go to every village and villagers’ group, adopt the form of holding consultation meeting with attendance of leaders of village group and resettler representatives, or discuss with resettlers randomly, and further solicit their opinions and suggestions on resettlement (including their choice of resettlement location, economic rehabilitation measures, house reconstruction and compensation policies for land occupation, which are presented in Table 7.3-1. 2) Xinhua County resettlement project management office and design office successively organize and hold public meeting with attendance of all levels of local leaders and all classes of affected persons. They introduced the existing national and local policies on resettlement to the affected people, and collected opinions from participants on how to reduce resettlement impact, how to provide rehabilitation, as well as compensation standards for all levels of affected persons, which are presented in Table 7.3-2.

The results are listed as follows:
① Know about the project: 96.81 percent of resettlers know about it, and 3.19 percent of
resettlers don’t know about it.
② The channel of comprehending: From investigators 85.11percent of resettlers know about it,
61.70 percent of resettlers through villagers in the neighboring village.
③ Supporting attitude :All resettlers support the project.
④ Affected degree: 93.62% resettlers think the flood control project benefit is prominent, and the
negative impact caused by the demolition can be diminished through proper compensation; 3.83% resettlers think the flood control project benefit is dominant, but the negative impact caused by land requisition and demolition is more; 2.55% resettlers think they are not affected by the flood control project, but the negative impact caused by land requisition and demolition is to some degree.
⑤ Demolition and resettlement: The requisitioned land located mainly in the rural area in Xinhua
county, 97.87% resettlers hope they can demolish and build the houses by themselves, and
130 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
government will unifiedly arrange the housing plot. 2.13% resettlers choose the concentrative resettlement.
⑥ Economic rehabilitation: 87.91 percent of resettlers require cash compensation, 12.09 percent
of resettlers require obtaining compensation through land adjustment. 7.4 Public Participation and Plan in Implementation of Resettlement Plan Resettlers should be encouraged to participate in during the whole course of implementation of resettlement planning of the project. 7.4.1 Participation in the Houses Reconstruction and Resettlement 1) Housing Compensation Standards The compensation standards for house will directly affect the interests of the relocated household. Before the houses are demolished, the relevant resettlement authority will consult and conclude an agreement with the relocated household on the compensation standards for the houses. The consultation results will be declared publicly before the agreements are signed, so as to put the resettlement under public supervision. 2) Resettlement Locations and Method of House Reconstruction At the RP preparation stage, the relevant authority carried out survey on the resettlement sites and the method of house reconstruction. According to the results of resettlement survey, most of the affected households are willing to have their houses relocated in their own village groups and to rebuild houses by themselves. The local governments at all levels will provide assistance at different stages for house demolition. 3) Demolition of Old Houses All the relocated household will be compensated at replacement value for their old houses. Within a stipulated time limit, the relocated households can, according to their will, demolish their old houses first and then rebuild the new houses or vice-versa. The salvageable materials from the old houses can be used by the relocated households themselves. 7.4.2 Participation in Economic Rehabilitation All the villagers of every village groups should participate in the adjustment and distribution of land and start-up of other agricultural development project, especially for taking care of resettlers who have special requirements to land. 7.4.3 Participation in the Usage and Management of Land Compensation Land compensation should be owned by collectivity of village groups, any unit or individual shall not withhold and appropriate. After the compensation funds have been given to collectivity of village groups, it should be planned as a whole in order to ensure special funds for special purposes. The
131 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
fund cannot be used until they have been discussed and agreed in meeting with the attendance of all group members, and be supervised by villager representative. 7.4.4 Participation in Project Construction The project construction will cause certain impacts on the local community. In order to ensure the affected persons benefit from the project construction, the local persons will be encouraged to take part in the construction, and favorable conditions will be created to use local materials and local labor force. 7.5 Women Participation From the beginning of the project, a great effort has been made on the roles that women play in the project by the implementation institution of the project and local government. Concern women and families where women are the householders and made women give full play to in the process of implementation of resettlement plan. In the affected area, women’s rights, interests and status should be the same as that of men. Women play an important role in economic development activities and housework. Especially in the village, most women stay at home, more men go into the city to find jobs. So besides family responsibility women play an important role in either tilling or non-farming work. So in the area affected by the project, women will pay more attention to the project than men. They not only take part in every stage of resettlement work but also give fineness rein to the direction and method of resettlement. During the course of widespread investigation of this project, all directors of all women unions in affected villages are invited to participate in order to communicate better with affected women. In the small-scale consultation meetings, more than 40 percent of participants are female. Besides supporting the project actively, they showed that they pay more attention to the accuracy of surveyed physical indices, rationality of compensation standard and whether the compensation can reach in time, etc. In the resettlement planning stage, the resettlement design unit actively involved female resettler representatives to discuss together, accept their opinions, requirements and existing problems on economic rehabilitation and house relocation. The consultation work has positive effect in reducing women’s worries on income sources, and possible change of traditional production pattern and ensure them to achieve benefits. In addition, at each level of resettlement organizations, at least one-woman cadre will be assigned, which will be instrumental in encouraging women to participate in resettlement planning and implementation. A great deal of effort will be made on the women’s impact in resettlement process, especially the livelihood rehabilitation. In the process of implementation of the project, local
132 Xinhua County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hydro and Power Design Institute of Hunan Province & Ministry of Water Resources
government will give priority to women and provide more opportunities in the project construction. 7.6 Harmonization with the Residents in Host Communities The relocation and resettlement of the project is mainly to through purchasing new houses by themselves and concentrative building houses. The purchasing new houses by themselves is optional, they can choose place to buy house where they can adapt the new living environment; Through concentrative building houses, it is easier for them to harmonize with residents in relocation sites, because resettlers’ living condition doesn’t change much with the same living and customs habits. Certainly, it doesn’t mean that there is no estrangement and conflict between the resettlers and former residents. In order to promote good relationships between them, the following work should be done: 1) Before demolition, resettlers and residents in the demolition sites should take part in the resettlement planning. In order to get cooperation, participation and feedback opinions from both resettlers and host communities, in the process of resettlement planning, the project management office will introduce all their rights and schemes they can choose. They can have their own choice from a number of resettlement schemes. They can consult with them directly or define through formal or informal discussions with representatives of resettlers. In most cases, do some system arrangement such as project official hold regular meetings with local groups so that resettlers and residents in the demolition sites can show their opinions during the whole period of planning and implementation of the project. We must make effort to see that vulnerable populations express their opinions adequately. 2) Try to decrease the impact on the residents in relocation sites. There may be conflict between resettlers and residents in the demolition sites if resettlers need more land, water sources, wood land and society services, or society and houses facilities provided for resettlers succeed the level of residents in relocation sites. So in order to avoid such conflict taking place, the livelihood conditions and society services of the residents in relocation sites should be improved, at least avoid deterioration. Try to provide two groups the perfect education, water supply and medical service and create better social atmosphere for their permeation.

8. Appeal Procedure 8.1 Possible Complaint and Problems Solving Methods Resettlement Plan makes overall plan for resettlement scheme from the angle of the affected area of the whole project. In the implementation process, resettlers’ complaint may appear because of the change of actual situation and deviation of operation. According to resettlement experiences got from the constructing and constructed projects, the resettlers’ complaint may be the several following kinds: 1) Indices Problem Because of the error in the process of surveying, statistics and computation, the occupied and demolition physical indices may be missed out or input incorrectly, which will have impact on the affected people. When such problems happen, the affected people through village committee can report to Xinhua County Project Resettlement Office in oral or written form. After processed by Xinhua County Resettlement Office, the problems should be submitted to County Project Management Office and supervision unit. Under the leadership of County Project Management Office, organize professional personnel to verify on the spot, sign and issue final opinions, ratify and register the missed out or incorrect items and compensate according to the standard. 2) Compensation Standard The small number of resettlers might have concerns on the compensation could not meet rehabilitation needs due to lack clear understanding about national resettlement policies and compensation. Prior to implementation of resettlement project, the design personnel should cooperate with all levels of government and resettlement office, do the technical explanation, introduce national resettlement policies, explain the computation process of compensation standard in order to make resettlers understand that compensation standard is compiled according to the national laws and regulations, which can ensure resettlers move out, live comfortably, develop so as to release their misgiving. 3) Funds In the construction process, owing to slow allocation of resettlement funds, houses building, and economic rehabilitation might be affected. Such questions require administrators of resettlement implementation to control funds, schedule and quality in order to ensure resettlement funds can be used effectively as designated. The resettlement fund allocation should be in accordance with the schedule every month and resettlement project proceed according to the schedule. 8.2 Appeal Channel and Procedure Resettlers enjoy rights and obligations which are endowed by constitution and law.

Appendix 1: Resettlement Information Manual
1. Project Background The areas in Hunan Province, which are brought into this urban flood control project, are limited to the cities above county level in hilly sections with relatively serious flood disaster. All the cities are considered as the areas with developed economy, dense population and centralized wealth. If the cities are submerged, the loss will be great, and the economic development will be supportless. At present, the urban flood control standard in the project area is low. Flood disaster happens in successive years, seriously restricts the urban economic development and affects the live and property safety of urban people. For Xinhua County, as the sub-project city of the urban flood control project under ADB loans, its flood and waterlogging control capacity can be absolutely improved through the project implementation. The flood control standard will be enhanced from the current 3-5-year occurrence to 20-year occurrence; and the waterlogging control will be enhanced from the current 3-year occurrence to 10-year occurrence. That can greatly reduce the urban flood control burden of Xinhua County and benefit the normal social development. The main engineering measures involved in land acquisition and relocation of Xinhua Urban Flood Control Project are: reinforcing and new-building of embankment, re-new, reconstruction and new-building of culvert sluices and power allocation station, and there also is temporary land acquisition as project construction site and borrow area, etc. The unrestored areas in the project land acquisition, with the residents’ production and living seriously affected by the project construction, are considered as the affected range of the project land acquisition and relocation.
