1 Basic Situation of the Project

1.1 Project Background

Hunan Province, located in the southeast of China and at the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, is a bridge area connecting the coastal provinces in the east and the inland provinces in the west of China. Hunan Province borders on Jiangxi Province in the east, connects with Chongqing City and Guizhou Province in the west, adjoins Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces in the south and links with Hubei Province in the north. Hunan Province has 1 region, 1 autonomous prefecture, 12 prefecture-level cities, 17 county-level cities, 65 counties and 7 autonomous counties. In 2010, the total regional output value of Hunan Province reached RMB 1.590212 trillion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of 14.5%, enhancing 0.8% than the last year. Within the project implementation area, the total output value of Taoyuan County is RMB 14.951 billion yuan; that of Hengnan County, RMB 15.394 billion yuan; Loudi County, RMB 68.072 billion yuan; Miluo City, RMB 16.400 billion yuan; Hanshou County, RMB 11.650 billion yuan; Wangcheng District, RMB 24.295 billion yuan; Yiyang City, RMB 71.227 billion yuan; Liuyang City, RMB 25.333 billion yuan; Zhuzhou City, RMB 127.485 billion yuan and Xiangxiang City, RMB 16.177 billion yuan. Hunan Province has been a major agricultural province and has had the fine reputations of "Granary of China" and "a land of fish and rice" since the ancient times. With only 3.2% of the cultivated land of China, the total outputs of Hunan Province's grain, cotton, oranges, tea-camellia seed, pork and fresh-water products account for 6%, 8%, 13%, 6%, 11% and 8% of China' total output respectively. This not only provide important material basis for the economic and social development of Hunan Province itself, but makes great contribution for ensuring the effective supply of agricultural products and the export sector. Hunan Province has complete industrial sectors and an industrial structure system which is taking initial shape and with the metallurgical, machinery, electronic, food, energy, building material industries as the main sectors. Meanwhile, with the efforts made in the recent years, the cultural

industry of Hunan Province is developing rapidly. In 2009, Hunan Province kept the fast growth of over 20% in 2008 and the market subject further increases. The superiority industries including the radio & television industry and the publishing industry still maintain their leading positions in China; the cultural industry has become the 6 th top industry in Hunan with an output value of over RMB 100 billion yuan.

In December, 2007, the State Council officially approved the Changsha-Zhuzhou- Xiangtan urban cluster as the pilot area for the comprehensive supporting reform of the "two-oriented society". The "two-oriented society" refers to the resource-saving and environment-friendly society. The former, namely to construct a resource-saving society, means to explore intensive land use method, establish recycled economy demonstration area, and to deepen the resource price reform; while the later, namely to construct a environment-friendly society, means to establish major functional regions, to draw up evaluation indicators and policies on ecological compensation and environmental constraints, and to perfect the compensated emission right transfer and trading system, etc. Since 1998, Hunan Province has drawn up 18 plans for the construction of "two-oriented society" and it will become an important demonstration base for the construction of "two-oriented society" and also an important breakthrough for the adjustment of the industrial structure.

In accordance with the purpose of the WB Loan of "improving the environment and promoting the sustainable development", based on the practical situations of each region of Hunan Province, after the on-site investigation by the provincial, city-level and county-level development & reform departments as well as the relevant experts, it is determined to apply for the WB Loan so as to carry out the integrated economic development demonstration town project Through the WB loan projects, we can introduce advanced management experience and methods, improve the urban & rural supporting infrastructure, promote the industrial upgrading, enhance the skills of the peasants and widen the employment channel for the peasants, thus we can promote

the common development of the urban and rural economy and explore useful development models for the construction of small towns.

1.5 Project Affected Areas

1.5.1 Positive Impacts of the Project

The project aims to improve the infrastructure of each town or district. After it is completed, the project can improve the regional traffic environment and enhance the life quality of the residents living in the affected areas. The road construction in the project can also greatly improve the local traffic conditions, speed up the local integrated development and construction and promote the industrial development. Meanwhile, the improved traffic conditions can

improve the living conditions there. Construction of the economic development zone can promote some of the rural population to become the urban population and to enhance the urbanization level; it can also help transfer the surplus rural labor to the urban areas so as to speed up the urban-rural integration process which can help increase the income and enhance the living standards of the residents. Additionally, the project implementation can also produce some environmental benefits. The project, on its planning and construction stages, attaches great importance to the ecological environment protection and improvement of the local environment. The implementation of the project can not only stimulate the all-around development of society and economy, but also lead the town where the project is located to march on the road of sustainable development.

1.7 Measures for Mitigating the Project Impacts

1.7.1 Project Planning and Design Stages

On the project planning and design stage, in order to mitigate the impact of the project construction on the local social & economic conditions, the working group of Zoushi Town of Taoyuan County utilizing WB loan construction project has held several joint meetings attended by the consultation and design units to coordinate with each other in terms of optimizing the design scheme, and minimizing the impact of the resettlement on the local social & economic conditions.

In the project design phase, the principles finally agreed to mitigate the impact of the resettlement are as follows:

Firstly, it is necessary to carry out scheme optimization and selection, and consider the impact of the construction on the local social & economic conditions as much as possible; when land occupation is inevitable, try to occupy the vacant land and mitigate the cultivated land occupation as much as possible.

Secondly, when house demolition is unavoidable, it is necessary to minimize the quantity of houses to be demolished and this will be regarded as a key factor for the scheme optimization and selection. At the same time, it is important to reserve reasonable space so that the project can be integrated with other municipal facilities.

Thirdly, when comparing different design schemes, it is important to take the factor of land acquisition and relocation into full consideration so as to minimize the quantity of land to be acquired and the number of people to be resettled.

11 11

Based on the above principles, in order to reduce the impact of the project construction on local society and economy, both the design unit and the Owner shall make a prudent selection for the design scheme on the project planning and design stage.

1.7.2 Construction Stage of the Engineering Project

During the implementation of the land-acquisition & house-demolition project, the following measures shall be taken in order to minimize the inconvenience brought to the affected population:

(1) Measures for reducing dust

As the excavated soil is heaped up by the roadside, dust raised by the monsoon and machinery may bring adverse impact on the nearby residents and factories. In order to reduce the impact of the construction on the surrounding environment, it is necessary to spray water on the surface of the spoil during successive fine and windy days so as to prevent dust from being raised. The Construction Unit shall make timely disposal of the spoil according to the relevant plan; it shall ensure that the trucks are not overloaded and that measures are taken to prevent the soil from falling from the trucks and scattering along the road during the transportation process. The wheels of the trucks loaded with soil shall be washed out with high pressure water before the trucks leave the construction site in order to prevent the spoil from polluting the roads and affect the neatness of the environment. Meanwhile, the Construction Unit shall maintain the cleanness of the roads before the construction site and the spoil on the roads shall be cleaned as soon as possible.

(2) Control of the construction noise

The construction noise include the noises generated by the construction and excavation processes, horns of the transportation vehicles, motors and concrete mixing process as well as the earth-covering rollers. In order to reduce the impact of construction on the surrounding residents, no construction is allowed in the area within 200m away from the residential area during the period from 11 pm to 6 am of the next day. Meanwhile the Construction Unit shall use low-noise construction equipments, methods and machinery whenever possible. If any construction must be done at night and this will affect the surrounding residents, it is necessary to take

noise-eliminating measures for the construction machinery and at the same time to set up temporary sound barriers and other similar devices around the construction site or around the areas with concentrated population so as to ensure the sound environment quality of the residential area.

(3) Disposal of wastes on the construction site

The Project Developer and the Construction Unit shall timely communicate with the local public sanitation department to clean up the domestic waste on the construction site so as to keep the construction site clean and tidy and to prevent dust caused by long- time piling up of wastes.

(4) Reducing the impact caused by pipeline excavation

In the pipeline excavation process, the work surface shall be sprayed with water in order to maintain a certain degree of humidity; at the same time, the whole construction site or part of the site shall be fenced to reduce the spread of dust generated by construction. It is necessary to reduce the amount of dust raised. Building materials and construction waste shall be cleaned up and taken away timely. Cautions shall be taken to prevent the trucks from being overloaded. Whenever possible, measures shall be taken to cover or seal the loaded truck in order to prevent the waste on the truck from falling down along the way. The soil and dust scattered on the road shall be cleaned up timely.

1.7.3 Temporary Land Acquisition and Resettlement Action Planning and Implementation Stages of the Project

In accordance with the national land acquisition and compensation standard, the Project Owner and the affected households shall negotiate face to face in order to determine the various compensation fees for the temporary land acquisition. When the land acquisition and resettlement are unavoidable, in order to reduce the impact of construction on the local residents, it is necessary to adopt the following measures:

(1) It is necessary to strengthen the basic data collection and to make in-depth analysis on the present local social & economic situation and its future development so as to draw up practical and feasible resettlement plan in light of the actual local situations

to ensure that the local residents affected by the project will not suffer any loss due to the construction of the project;

(2) It is necessary to draw up detailed and specific compensation standard for the temporary land occupation in order to ensure that the residents living in different affected areas can receive fair and reasonable compensation;

(3) It is necessary to encourage public participation so as to strengthen information disclosure and accept public supervision.

(4) It is necessary to strengthen the internal and external monitoring, to establish the highly effective and smooth feedback mechanism and channels, and to shorten the information processing cycle so as to ensure that problems found in the project construction process can be resolved timely.

2 Project Impacts

According to the investigation and analysis on physical goods, the project impact categories mainly include: (1) impact caused by land acquisition / occupation; (2) impact of the demolition of residential houses and attachments; (3) ground auxiliary facilities, etc.

2.1 Meaning Definition of Project Impacts

The investigation scope of the physical goods affected by the project refers to the actual land occupation scope determined based on the scheme finally selected by the Project Planning and Design Unit. As the project was still in the design optimization process when the investigation on physical goods of the project resettlement was carried out, and it’s still possible for the project design unit to optimize the road line, the land acquisition & demolition data may be adjusted accordingly. The Project Resettlement Office will take the final and actual impact data as the basis of the resettlement work.

Definitions of the project impacts are as follows:

(1) Permanent land occupation: various types of cultivated land and non-cultivated land that are within the project land occupation area and will be occupied permanently by the project; The cultivated land mainly includes dry farmland, vegetable plot and orchards, etc; the non-cultivated land mainly includes the housing land and land for construction purpose, etc.

Among all the project towns, only Loudi City involves the house demolition of the enterprises and institutions, including the Wanbao Health Center and Jinguangyuan Leisure Food Factory, Loudi Tianke Logistics Company, and Zhonghao Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. The demolition area of enterprises and institutions is 1730 m2, of which: the area of brick and concrete structures is 210 m 2; and that of brick and timber structures and simple structures, respectively 60 m 2 and 1460 m 2. Details are shown in Table 2-8. Among the demolished houses, the proportion taken up by simple structures is large, and all of them are discarded side houses of Jinguangyuan Leisure Food Factory; Wanbao Health Center is the brick-concrete structure, and the simple houses at the corner of the hospital are involved in the house demolition. Therefore, the house demolition will not bring about negative impacts on the production and operation of the enterprises and institutions.

Figure 2-1 Temporary Booths Set up on the Sidewalk of Shangjie and Xiajie Streets, Zoushi Town

The business storefronts of Wanbao Town are actually farmhouses. However, as the local traffic is convenient and the floating population intends to rent local farmhouses as their residential houses or warehouse, through negotiation with the villagers, these houses are still regarded as storefronts in this project due to their available economic value. While these houses are only the farmhouses rented to the floating population because they are not registered at the Department of Industry and Commerce (see Figure 2-2).

Figure 2-2 Villagers’ Houses in Need of Demolition 2.9 Impacts of Temporary Land Occupation

In the whole project, only 3 project areas namely Cangshuipu Town, Wanbao Town and Yueshan Town involve the temporary land occupation problem. The 3 project towns will temporarily occupy the land, 79.36mu, of which: the cultivated land is 48.11mu; forest land and grassland, 1.85mu; and mountain land, 12.44mu and public land, 16.96mu. And the temporarily occupied land in other project areas can all be controlled within the scope of permanent land acquisition so as to mitigate the negative impacts brought by project construction. The temporary land acquisition of the project is shown in Table 2-10. In Cangshuipu Town and Wanbao Town, equipments and soil are piled up on both sides of the construction road. The pipe network construction of Yueshan Wastewater Treatment Plant involves the temporary land occupation. The land is occupied along the road and it belongs to the public land. Additionally, there are no ground attachments on the land, so the compensation for young crops and other attachments is unnecessary.

Zoushi Town project is designed based on the feasibility study scheme of the project design unit Hunan International Engineering Consultation Center, and Shangxia Street reconstruction and Zouxi River harnessing are not involved with the temporary land occupation problem. The temporary piling facilities of Shangxia Street reconstruction project are all located on Shangxia Street, which is regarded as the state-owned land; accordingly, it is not involved with the temporary land occupation problem. In addition to the above, the project is with the construction excavation of 2280m 3 and fill of 1245 m 3, and the excessive excavations are conveyed to the pit- ponds of adjacent Zhongxin Road for filling; thus, no temporary land occupation problem arise. Also, the harnessing of Zouxi River is not involved with the temporary land occupation. As the river head has been intercepted by the dam, it has no riverwater; it only has water in case of rainy seasons and domestic sewage discharge. After the project implementation, riverside roads will be widened; it is designed to set 1m afforestation belt on both sides of the channel and a 3m-wide passage with concrete pavement; the planned excavation is 72000 m 3 and fill is 168000 m 3. As the construction excavation can be used as the fill, there is no temporary land occupation problem.

Taizimiao Town project is not involved with the temporary land occupation impact. Jinpeng Road of 1234.57m and Jinying Road of 1476.32m are involved with the temporary land occupation arising from earth excavation. The road construction width is 30m and the land acquisition width is 40m; the rest 10m range will be used as the temporary land of the project for piling up

all kinds of facilities, instruments, and construction materials, which will be used as the greenbelt after the road works have been completed.

Xinshi Town is not involved with the temporary collectively-owned land occupation. According to the design of the project feasibility study report, silt and topsoil shall be well kept during construction and used as the cultivation soil for side slopes and separators. Also, the project is with the excavation of 69552m 3 and fill of 63840 m 3, which can keep a balance basically. Besides, the width of the afforestation belt on each side of Lianhua Road, Hexin Road, and Bali Road is 2.0m, and a range of 4m can be used for the temporary land occupation for all equipment and materials of the project. Therefore, the project is not involved with the temporary land occupation problem.

According to the design of the project feasibility study report, the temporary land utilization of the subprojects of Dingzi Town, Zhentou Town, and Santang Town is kept within the range of the permanent land acquisition, so the project has no temporary land occupation impact.

2.10 Affected Population The project will affect 558 rural households of 2141 persons, of which: 502 households of 2138 persons 6 will be affected by the permanent land acquisition and house demolition; and 110 households of 368 persons will be affected by temporary land acquisition. Ten households’ (42 people) business storefronts and 56 households’ temporarily established storefronts will be affected; and temporary land occupation will affect 122 households of 413 persons.

3 Investigation Results for the Project Affected Social and

Economic Status

In order to learn about the project impacts and according to the requirements of WB, from March to July in 2011, the WB loan working group in each town carried out a thorough investigation on the impact of the project on the residents involved. In order to learn about the impact of the project and the social & economic conditions of the affected areas, in July 2011, the Resettlement Review Mission carried out a formal investigation on the social & economic conditions of the affected areas and the resettlement scheme. A general investigation on the social & economic conditions of the rural households was carried out, taking up 100% of the directly affected households. In addition, the Resettlement Review Mission has consulted relevant summary, planning vision data and the Statistical Statement of the Agricultural

Economy in 2010 in order to analyze the overall local social & economic conditions.

3.1 Overview for Project Impacts on the Social and Economic

Conditions of the Affected Areas

The analysis results for project impacts on the social & economic conditions of the project areas due to the land acquisition & demolition of the project are as follows:

The project can promote the sustainable development of society, economy and environment.

The impact of land acquisition on livelihood is insignificant. Among the 356 rural households investigated, the land loss rate of 55.46% of rural households is kept below 10%; that of 7.92% of rural households is kept between 10-20%; that of 26.78% of rurual households is kept between 20- 30%; that of 6.01% of rural households is kept between 30-40%; that of 3.83% of rural households is kept between 40-100% and there is no rural households completely losing their land.

The residents of Wanbao Town will be relocated in situ and there will be no social integration problem. The residents of Taizimiao Town, Cangshuipu Town, Dingzi Town and Wanbao Town will be relocated in other places, which may affect their original social network; however, they will be relocated within the scope of the original village, the impact is also insignificant.

The investigation shows that the domestic water and electric power consumption of the relocated rural households can be guaranteed, and they mainly use coal and bottled gas, so the impact of relocation on energy resources is insignificant.

The relocation site is near the current residential area, so the distance will not be greatly changed; meanwhile, with the improvement of traffic conditions, the distance of going to school or taking medical treatment will be shortened.

The three availables and one accessibility (electricity, water supply and paved roads are available and you have accessibility to leveled ground) for the expropriated land of Tianke Logistics Company, Jinguangyuan Leisure Food Factory and Zhonghao Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd of Loudi City have been completed and the land does not belong to the production land of the enterprises, therefore, the impact is insignificant; additionally, the impact of building demolition on production is also insignificant.

The impact of the land acquisition arising from road construction of Cangshuipu Town on the per capital cultivated land area of the affected village is minor, and especially the impact on the per capita paddy field occupation area is insignificant; however, the acquisition percentage for the vegetable plots of several vegetable growing households has reached 74%, which will influence the rural households making a living on vegetable selling. Through interviews with the village committee and villagers, the local paddy field and dry farmland only have the plantation difference, and there is no difference in the land type. If the livelihood is affected after

the vegetable plot has been expropriated, the paddy field will be used for vegetable plot plantation; in addition, as there are numerous non-agricultural employment opportunities and many local rural households rent land outside, they can also rent the land for plantation, with the rent of 200 yuan/year. Accordingly, we can judge that the livelihood of the rural households will not be greatly influenced after the cultivated land acquisition.

In Xinshi Town project, as villages and villagers’ groups decide to exchange the land of the rural households without land acquisition to the land-expropriated rural households, the project will actually influence all rural households in the natural villages. With regard to the influence brought about by the cultivated land acquisition, Group 2 of Xinshu Village suffers the largest influence, with the land acquisition percentage of about 24.03%. In fact, except the local paddy fields are being planted, other cultivated land has been abandoned. Currently, the paddy field is under plantation, and the dry farmland is abandoned basically. Based on the investigation, the villagers also hold that the land acquisition impact on their livelihood is minor.

In Dingzi Town project, the cultivated land resource expropriated is about 7.13 mu, including the paddy field of 1.56 mu and vegetable plot of 5.58 mu. These vegetable plots are self-used plots, so the impact on the livelihood is insignificant. However, the local vegetable plots and paddy fields are in crop rotation and there are lots of abandoned lands, so the project impact on the livelihood of the rural households is also minor.

Zhentou Town is mainly engated in flower plantation; in addition to promoting the development of the flower industry, the local land acquisition can also drive the enterprises to rent the local villagers’ land with an area of 1900 mu to undertake the flower plantation; thus, a lot of laborers will be employed; in addition to the above, as the local soil is subjected to serious cadmium pollution and the conditions are unsuitable for agricultural crop plantation, the flower plantation will facilitate the transformation of the local agricultural plantation structure. Accordingly, the negative

impact of the flower and nursery stock e-commerce transaction center project on the livelihood of the rural households is minor, which will promote the local employment.

In Wanbao Town project, though the rural households affected by relocation and land acquisition have the cultivated land, the land of the local rural households is still collectively owned. If the land of the villagers is expropriated, they can obtain 30% of the land acquisition fee and the compensation fee for young crops. The remaining 70% of the land acquisition fee will be equally divided by all villagers; upon next land distribution, the land will be redistributed in the village, and these land-expropriated rural households can obtain the cultivated land again according to the number of family members. Currently, the land contracting authority limit of Qunyi Village and Shilin Village is still 30 years; accordingly, the rural households with land acquisition may have no land for cultivation in short term; however, the villagers express that, as the agricultural incomes are very limited, lots of abandoned land is not used for cultivation; if villagers have the cultivation intention, they can use such abandoned land, and no contracting fee will be produced. However, through the field investigation, it is found that for most villagers, land is not their main source of income. A lot of local villagers go out for work, and the working income has become the most important income of the family. During the investigation, the villagers interviewed express that their livelihood is almost not influenced thanks to the local policy.

In Santang Town project, the main crops which are influenced by land acquisition are paddy rices. The land of 21.34 mu in Wangjiachong Group of Santang Village is involved with acquisition, accounting for 0.69% of the land area of the whole village. In addition to the above, the expropriated land is the non-cultivated land and most of them are the barren slopes; therefore, the impact on the livelihood of the rural households is minor. The land of 141.58 mu of Group 1 of Daling Garden Spot is involved with acquisition, accounting for 8.85% of the whole land area. Through the internal negotiations, it is determined that, the garden spot will make adjustment to

the remaining land after land acquisition and the compensation will be paid to the directly affected rural households; thus, the livelihood of these rural households will not be greatly influenced.

Twenty rural households in Yueshan Town project are involved with the land acquisition. It’s investigated that among the 20 rural households engaged in agricultural production, their income mainly comes from going out for work, and their dependence on the agriculture is not high. As many rural households go out for work, there is lots of abandoned land, and the rural households can contract the abandoned cultivated land in or out of the village.

3.4.2 Proportion of the Agricultural Income in the Total Income

Generally speaking, the impact of the project on the income of rural households is insignificant. The agricultural income of Taizimiao Town, Cangshuipu Town, Xinshi Town, Dingzi Town, Zhentou Town, Wanbao Town, Santang Town and Yueshan Town respectively takes up 15.7%, 9.52%, 0.79%, 3.37%, 36%, 12.6%, 11.19% and 10% of the total income; Based on the sample survey and general investigation on the project affected areas, the proportion of agricultural income of the rural households in Zhentou Town is relatively high. However, the Zhentou Town subproject mainly rent the land, so the impact is not large. ((Note: Two years ago, a cadmium pollution accident occurred in Shuangqiao Village; the cadmium pollution source (Changsha Xianghe Chemical Plant) was located in Shuangqiao Village, Zhentou Town, Liuyang City, which was built and put into production in April 2004; the cadmium pollution was caused to adjacent areas due to its illegal production. As reported by relevant information of Changsha Municipal Party Committee, the soil within 500m around the plant was subjected to the obvious cadmium pollution; the area of 500m-1200m around the plant was regarded as the light pollution area, and the cadmium content of the soil out of 1200m was up to requirements of the Environmental Quality Standard for Soil fundamentally. Actually, the land of 1180 mu centered on Shuangqiao Village is not suitable for the edible crop plantation. In order to fully utilize the

unpolluted land, the local government has centralized the land by means of three- stage circulation and rent the land to the rural households with the paddy price of 800 jin (a unit of weight) per mu and per year, so as to guarantee the minimum income of peasants. Due to such reason, the rural household support government’s behaviors of uniformly renting the land and providing the rent by means of the minimum paddy protection price; therefore, it is a default alternative for relevant insurance locally.) The agricultural income of other towns is basically lower than 20%, most at about 10%. As the key towns of Hunan Province, the industrialization level of the 9 towns is relatively high with one person at least from each family engaged in non-agricultural industry.

Table 3-2 Proportion of Agricultural Income of the Rural Households with Land Acquisition 8 Taizimiao Cangshuipu Xinshi Dingzi Zhentou Wanbao Santang Yueshan Town Town Town Town Town Town Town Town Income per capita （yuan ） 4592.593 4545 848 654.13 29556 8550 103920 5533 Proportion 15.70% 9.52% 0.79% 3.37% 36% 12.60% 11.19% 10.00%

3.4.3 Impact on the Rent Income

As for the 12 demolished households facing the street of Guanyinqiao Village, Zouzhi Town, they all have the houses with the ground-floor as the business storefront. In the past, 5 households rent the business storefronts outside with an average monthly income of RMB 150 yuan, and an annual income of 1800 yuan.

As for the demolition of storefronts involved in Wangbao Town Subproject, the storefronts of 2 households involved in the demolition have not been used, so no benefits have been achieved temporarily. The other 8 households can earn rent with RMB 100 yuan per month, so the rent will be affected after the land acquisition.

3.4.4 Impact on Public Services

As the local living water has been integrated into the urban water supply system and the drinking water is tap water, the investigation shows that the rural households

8 The proportion is obtained through the investigation on the income structure of all the rural households of each town affected by land acquisition.

involved in house demolition and relocation will all be guaranteed in these 2 aspects. In addition, the power supply can also be well ensured. And rural households mainly used coal and bottled gas, their use of energy resources will not be affected after house demolition. Generally speaking, each relocation site is located near the residential area, so the distance will not be greatly changed; meanwhile, the distance for going to school or taking medical treatment will also be shortened thanks to the improvement of local traffic conditions.

3.5 Impact on the Social Integration of Relocatees

House demolition and relocation will affect the social integration of the original residents. Generally speaking, the possible impacts on the social integration of the residents in the towns involved in demolition and relocation are shown as follows:

The residents in Zoushi Town will be relocated in their original villages and their distance with each other will be basically kept unchanged; accordingly, there will be no new social integration problem.

In Taizimiao Town, the neighborhood social support network of the 29 removed rural households will be affected by housed demolition and relocation. In details, after the demolition and relocation, the neighborhood relation, materials borrowing, emotional exchange, and

labor and information exchange will be subject to short-term impact.

In Cangshuipu Town, the neighborhood social support network of 59 rural households will be affected by the house demolition and relocation. In details, after the house demolition and relocation, they will be faced with the house replacement problem, and their original neighborhood network will be affected to some extent.

As the relocation site of Dingzi Town is near the demolition site, the impact of the project on social integration is insignificant.

In Wanbao Town, the residents with their houses demolished will be relocated in the new village, of which the houses will be more concentrative than the original ones, and the distance between the original neighbors will basically be kept unchanged, so the problem of integration into the new community will not exist.

The residents with their houses demolished from Group 1 of Daling Garden Spot will be relocated locally, and the distance between the original neighbors will basically be kept unchanged, so the problem of integration into the new community will not exist.

3.6 Impact on the Enterprises and Institutions

Within the project scope, there are 4 enterprises and institutions involved in the land acquisition and house demolition. The area of land occupation totals 40.6mu and houses with a total area of 1730 m 2 will be demolished. The 4 enterprises and institutions above include: the Public Health Center of Wanbao Town, Tianke Logistics Company, Jinguangyuan Leisure Food Factory and Zhonghao Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. The three availables and one accessibility (electricity, water supply and paved roads are available and you have accessibility to leveled ground) for the expropriated land of Tianke Logistics Company, Jinguangyuan Leisure Food Factory and Zhonghao Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd of Loudi City have been completed and the land does not belong to the production land of the enterprises, therefore, the impact is insignificant. Before the resettlement experts group carried out the investigation, both the local Owner unit and the 4 enterprises and institutions, namely the the Public Health Center of Wanbao Town, Tianke Logistics Company, Jinguangyuan Leisure Food Factory and Zhonghao Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd have agreed to implement the project.

Notice of Publishing the Land Acquisition Compensation Standard of Hunan Province by the People’s Government of Hunan Province (XZF [2009] No. 43)

Firstly, the standard contains the sum of the land compensation fee and the resettlement subsidy. The compensation for attachments and young crops on the land to be expropriated will be made according to the compensation standard prepared by the city and prefecture and approved by the provincial government.

Secondly, the acquisition of the collectively-owned construction land, pit-pond surfaces, rural roads, and rural land for facilities will be performed based on the compensation standard of the adjacent paddy fields (non-basic farmland).

Fourthly, the municipal and county-level people’s government shall prepare the land acquisition compensation fee distribution guidance on the basis of that the land acquisition compensation fee is mainly used for the land-expropriated peasants, so as to ensure that the land acquisition compensation fee has been fully paid within 3 months after the day of the announcement for the land acquisition compensation and resettlement scheme. Fifthly, all cities and counties shall determine the specific proportion and amount of the land acquisition compensation fee for the social security of the land-expropriated

peasants according to actual conditions. The land acquisition will not be started if the land- expropriated peasant’s social security fees are not paid.

Notice of Strengthening Supervision and Management of Distribution and Application of the Land Acquisition Compensation Payment of the Rural Collective Economic Organization (XZF [2008] No. 15)

Firstly, define the property of the land acquisition compensation fee and the distribution range and method of the land acquisition compensation.

The land acquisition compensation fee includes the land compensation fee, resettlement subsidy, and compensation fee for ground attachments and young crops, which is the compensation for the land-expropriated peasants and the land-lost rural collective economic organizations. And, the land compensation fee and resettlement subsidy are funds of the collectivity, and the compensation fee for the ground attachments and young crops are owned by the owner, and it shall not be managed and used together with the financial fund. And, the land acquisition compensation fee shall be distributed based on the fair and rational principles. If the contracted land is to be adjusted in the rural collective economic organization after the rural collectively-owned land is expropriated, the land compensation fee and resettlement subsidy shall be uniformly distributed within this rural collective economic organization. If the rural collective economic organization can’t adjust the contracted land to the land-expropriated peasant and the resettlement is not done to the land- expropriated peasant, the land compensation fee not less than 75% of the total amount shall be paid to the land-expropriated peasant. If the land-expropriated peasants are not in need of uniform resettlement, the resettlement subsidy shall be wholly paid to them. The resettlement subsidy can only be used for a fixed purpose.

Secondly, standardize the land acquisition compensation fee distribution and use procedures and accounting treatment.

The land acquisition compensation fee distribution and use budget scheme shall be approved by the member party or the member representative meeting of the rural collective economic organization, which shall be also subjected to signing of the representative’s name and opinions; after that, the actual expenditure and management conditions of the land acquisition compensation fee shall be reported to the member

party or the member representative meeting of the rural collective economic organization.

Thirdly, establish and perfect the monitoring management method for the land acquisition compensation fee distribution and use.

Firstly, publish the documents, standards, and distribution and use scheme (prearranged planning) related to the land acquisition compensation fee to members of the rural collective economic organization in advance to ensure that it is widely known to all. Secondly, the distribution and use scheme of the land acquisition compensation fee shall be subject to the democratic discussion, democratic decision- making, democratic management, and democratic supervision as required. Prior to determination, this scheme shall be announced in public in accordance with strict stipulations; opinions shall be solicited in a wide range, and relevant data and information shall be checked and approved. Thirdly, the villagers’ financial transaction group is entitled to check and review the financial account of the land acquisition compensation fee; query expenditures with unclear account, and veto rational expenditures; it is also entitled to ask the principal and accountant of the rural collective economic organization to explain the financial problems related to the account management of the land acquisition compensation fee. Fourthly, all expenditures and distribution conditions shall be periodically announced to members of the collective economic organization to ensure the openness, fairness, and justness. Also, the rural crowds’ information right, decision-making right, participation right, and supervision right to the distribution and use of the land acquisition compensation fee shall be effectively maintained.

The specific compensation standards for lease renewal of renters involved with the storefront demolition and demolished strorefronts are as follows:

Currently, the ground floors of the storefronts related with demolition are all rented, with a monthly rent of RMB 100 yuan on average, and the demolition will affect the lease renewal of the renters. Through many times

of discussion and consultation between the People’s Government of Wanbao Town, resettlement group, and villagers, the houses rented will be compensated with the rent of RMB 100 yuan/month for 1 year during the house construction, with a total of 1200 yuan for each household.

In the new resettlement village planning, for the rural households whose storefronts are demolished, the Owner will coordinate and provide the villagers with residential land for their self-building. The new resettlement site is near to the Loudi-Shuangfeng Route and the railway under construction. The villagers can reconstruct the ground floor of their own houses as the business storefront according to their own demands.

The storefront replacement cost will be borne by the government-invested resettlement house project, which will not be included in the project for calculation.

The rural households of which the houses have been rented shall be notified before demolition, and currently all of them have been notified.

Also, based on the Compensation and Relocation Methods for House Demolition on the Collectively-owned Land of Loudi City , the compensation standard for the demolished non-residential houses will be performed according to the following table (this price is compatible with the replacement price of the villagers, see the analysis on the replacement price in Table 5-2).

After the construction has been completed, the temporary land occupation shall be cleared and renovated; temporary buildings shall be removed; ground shall be leveled; compacted soil shall be re-ploughed; depressions shall be covered with soil, and afforestation shall be done timely, so as to minimize the impact of the soil erosion. In addition to the above, big trees on the construction site shall be transplanted to the site boundary and used as the green plants. Also, the afforestation shall be done by selecting proper plants according to local soil and climate conditions, so as to achieve purposes of noise reduction, harmful substance absorption, and environment beautification.

5.6.3 Compensation Standard for the Temporary Land Occupation of Yueshan Town, Xiangxiang City

The temporarily occupied land belongs to the public land and there are no attachements on the ground, therefore, the compensation for young crops is unnecessary. The land will be leveled by the Owner’s unit after the construction has been completed.

5.7 Compensation Fees for Other Auxiliary Facilities

According to the stipulations of the provincial and municipal documents, the ground attachments found in the land acquisition and house demolition shall be compensated.

160

The compensation standards for relevant facilities after discussing with all governments, relevant departments, and local peasants are shown in the following Table. Yueshan Town of Xiangxiang City and Zhentou Town of Liuyang City are not involved with the attachment relocation. The attachment compensation fee of different places will be different. For example, through the current relocation experience and negations with local villagers, the compensation price for demolished tombs in Taizimiao subproject of Hanshou County is RMB 1000 yuan/piece, which is higher than the compensation standard specified in the policy, and all villagers are agree with above suggestions. However, according to the existing demolition standard, the compensation price for demolished earth tombs in Yiyang is RMB 400 yuan/piece through consultations with the villagers, which is not lower than the standard specified in the standard. As the price standard in the relocation policy was prepared in 2009, which is out-of-date; accordingly, during the actual operation, the attachment compensation standard will be determined based on consultations between the business unit, local relocation office, resettlement expert group, and villagers mainly. See table 5-13 for details of the attachment compensation standard of different places. Of which: the attached facilities of Santang Town such as tea trees (above 1m and below 1m) are just planted by the villagers after they have got to know more young crop compensation fees will got after the local land acquisition and road construction, therefore, the compensation standards are RMB 2 yuan/piece and RMB 5 yuan/piece respectively. The relocation fees for the Chinese tulip trees (8cm, 10cm and 12cm) are relatively lower than those of other towns, because the local people mainly plant flowers and the affected facilities will be transplanted onto the other cultivated land (the local suffers severe cadmium pollution, therefore local people have basically given up planting flowers); similarly, other flowers such as osmanthus trees, camphor trees, China Loropetal and waxberry will also be transplanted again.

6. Rehabilitation Scheme for the Production and Livelihood of Relocatees

6.1 Resettlement Objectives

Reasonable compensations and appropriate arrangements will be performed for the project impacts on ensure the relocatees get compensations for all their losses, share the benefits of the project through good recovery and receive subsidies for their temporary difficulties to improve their income level and living standard and also the ability of enterprises in production and profitability to a higher level or return to the high level prior to the project at least.

6.2 Resettlement Principles

6.2.1 Principle of Minimizing the Impacts on Relocatees

Optimize the project design and pay attention to protect cultivated lands to minimize the range affected by the project as well as the influence on the relocatees. Try to avoid densely-populated areas and multi-storey or high-rise buildings and minimize the involuntary resettlement. Take various convenience measures and adopt the construction plan with a reduced disturbance to residents.

6.2.2 Principle of Equivalent Compensation

In order to avoid the living standard of relocatees declining due to the project, the principle of equivalent compensation which is composed of the following two aspects will be carried out: one is the property will be compensated in accordance with the replacement cost method; the other is other losses will be compensated equivalently, viz. equivalent compensations will be paid for the losses of the relocatees. 1. In case of the acquisition and use of agricultural lands, all losses will be compensated in a reasonable manner and the compensation fees will be paid to the affected people but without being embezzled for land use. Land compensation fees belong to rural collective organizations and are to be used

164

for collective economy development, public facility improvement and the resettlement of affected people. Resettlement subsidies will be paid to the resettlement unit or the people resettled or paid as their insurance expenses. 2. House or other property will be compensated in currency or physical goods based on the replacement price and the depreciation or other forms of discount should not be deducted. The compensation either in currency or physical goods (e.g. property right exchange) should be sufficient to purchase a house in the same region with an equivalent area and a similar structure and condition. 3. Public facilities will be recovered completely with their functions not being below their original level to maintain the normal life of people not resettled around the construction area of the project. 4. Equivalent compensation will be paid to the relocatees affected by the project temporarily and those suffering partial property loss but unnecessary to relocate.

6.2.3 Focus Principle

1. The project will focus on vulnerable groups (old people living without adult children, widows, single parent families, the disabled, patients with chronic diseases and poor families) who will be helped during their relocation to select resettlement houses and assisted with a half house price and other preferential policies to get reasonable care in housing, employment, medical treatment, etc. Periodic return visits will be paid to them after the relocation and support will be provided for their special difficulties until the transfer to the local civil affairs department. 2. This project will plan the relocation with a development nature and mobilize the power of local authorities to conduct employment training successfully and try best to create job opportunities for relocatees to allow them to adapt the environment of the resettlement location in a short period and be self- dependent in economy, thus transferring the resettlement responsibility from the resettlement unit to the relocatees in time. 3. This project will seek to maximize the efficiency of resettlement cost, strive to improve the ability of resettlement institutions on resettlement, standardize the resettlement work, establish a perfect internal control system and prevents

165

waste, retain, fraud and corruption of funds to make good use of resettlement funds as much as possible, thus achieving a best effect on resettlement.

6.2.4 Source of the Compensation Fund

The compensation fund of each town will be paid by the supporting fund of the Owner.

6.2.5 Time Schedule of the Resettlement

It’s planned that the reconstruction project of Shangjie and Xiajie streets of Zoushi Town, and the resettlement of Taizimiao Town, Xinshi Town, Dingzi Town, Yueshan Town and Zhentou Town will be completed in July, 2012; the resettlement of Cangshuipu Town will be completed before April, 2013; and the resettlement of Wanbao Town will be completed in January, 2013.

6.3 Resettlement Scheme

6.3.1 Analysis on Livelihood of the Relocatees

It can be seen from the analysis made in chapter 3 that the land-lost rate of the rural households affected by the project is not high; as the project town is a provincial key town, the nonagricultural employment percentage is large, and the dependence of the rural household’s livelihood on agriculture is not high. Generally speaking, among the investigated 418 12 rural households, their land-lost percentage on average is less than 30%. The land-loss rate for the investigated rural households of each town is shown in Table 3-1. Table 6-1 Impact on the Expropriated Cultivated Land of All Villages Impact on the Expropriated Before Land Acquisition Cultivated Land Quantity Quantity of the Subproje Numbe of the Expropri Village Land ct r of Populati Cultivate Cultivate ated Acquisiti Househ on d Land d Land Cultivate on Rate olds Per d Land Capita Per Capita Daoliuping Taizimiao Village, 53 239 250.95 1.05 0.28 26.67% Town zhuzibei

12 This part of material is from the data of the population affected by land acquisition collected by each village (second-hand material) and there are totally 418 affected households, more than the 336 sample households (first-hand material) listed in the analysis on the land acquisition rate of rural households carried out in Part 3 Social and Economic Investigation.

Table 6-2 shows the dependence 13 of the land-acquisitioned rural households of all town projects on the agriculture; generally speaking, the dependence level is not high. About 15.79% rural households in Taizimiao Town earn a living by the agriculture completely; the remaining cultivated land per capita is still over 0.5 mu after land acquisition and the cultivated land per capita of only 1 household is less than 0.5 mu, which meet the land-lost peasant compensation standard of Hanshou Development Zone of Taizimiao Town, and the social insurance for land-lost peasants will be performed. About 12.77% rural households in Cangshuipu Town earn a living by the agriculture completely, and the land per capita of these rural households after land loss is still more than 0.5 mu; meanwhile, the population in Cangshiupu Town going out for work or engaged in non-agricultural jobs in local enterprises is large and there are a lot of unused cultivated land, so they can also contract the local cultivated land with the contracting fee of RMB 200 yuan/mu and the impact on livelihood is minor. As Zhentou Town is subjected to serious cadmium pollution, and no agricultural production is performed there currently; about 11.12% rural households earn a living by the flower planting completely; however, as the land-lost proportion is low and a lot of laborers can work in local flower enterprises, the local livelihood will not be influenced basically. About 8% rural households in Xinshi Town earn a living by the land, however, its average land-lost rate is only 6.36%; in addition, there are a lot of abandoned land in Xinshi Town, the rural households which completely earn a

167

living by such land have rented the land for paddy plantation and the dry farmland is abandoned basically; therefore, the project implementation will not influence the livelihood of the rural households dependent on agriculture.

13 This part of material is from the sample investigation and there are 366 sample households.

6.3.2 Compensation and Resettlement for Permanent Acquisition of the Collectively-owned Cultivated Land

The permanent land acquisition influences 1840 14 people from 446 rural households in the 9 towns of the project affected area (of which: there are no rural households affected by land acquisition in Zoushi Town). The project area is located in or near the core areas with the GDP rainking in the top list of Hunan, so the industry and service trade are relatively developed and there are lots of people taken non-argicultural jobs. On an average, the agriculture income accounts for 10% of the total on average. Generally speaking, the influence of the project on the short-term livelihood of the local peasants is insignificant. Relevant compensation standards meet the land output value of rural households within the contract period. The proportion that agricultural population of each town take non-agricultural jobs is large and there are lots of barren lands, so villagers can easily get land by way of land circulation after land acquisition. Additionally, the social security system is also sound.

At present, the relevant resettlement methods formulated by People’s Government of all project towns and villagers through consultation are

173

summed up as follows:

(1) Monetary compensation mode for resettlement

Resettlement measures of Taizimiao Town

After having been subjected to the preliminary discussions between the project leading group, resettlement assessment group, and villagers’ representatives, it is determined that the land acquisition compensation fee (including the land compensation and resettlement subsidies) of Taizimiao Town project will be wholly paid to the affected households, and no land adjustment within the village will be performed. In addition, the ground attachment and young crop compensation fee will be paid to the corresponding owners. As these demonstration towns are with developed economy, the percentage of rural households completely depending on the land in the project area only takes up 15.79% and there are totally 8 such households; except that the remaining cultivated land per capita of 1 rural household does not exceed 0.5mu, the cultivated land per capita of other rural households after land acquisition is all kept above 0.8mu, so the impact of land acquisition on livelihood is insignificant; and the dependence rate of 63% of rural households on the land is below 20%; many peasants are engaged in the local non-agricultural jobs or go to Guangdong Province and Fujian Province to undertake non-agricultural jobs. As each family has non- agricultural population, there are lots of vacant cultivated lands, and the land lost rate of more than 40% rural households is 15%, and these rural households don’t completely make a living on the land.

Concerning the cultivated land compensation, the compensation standard of the paddy field in Taizimiao Town is RMB 32120 yuan/mu and that of the dryland is RMB 22484 yuan/mu; such standard comes from the Notice of Publishing Changde Land Acquisition Compensation Standard by the People’s Government of Changde City issued in 2010, which is determined through negotiations with villagers: the paddy field compensation standard is 20.99 times of the current young crop output value (RMB 1530 yuan/mu) and the dryland compensation standard is 22.7 times of the young crop output

174

value. The contracting of the abovementioned land began in 1995, with the contracting period of 30 years, and 14 years are left currently; therefore, such compensation standard can make up the villagers’ land incomes during the contracting period. According to the preliminary investigation, it is discovered that the affected rural households accept the monetary compensation for the land.

According to the investigation, it is discovered that the land circulation rate of Hanshou County is about 7.2%; as more and more peasants go to other places to undertake non-agricultural jobs, the vacant cultivated land becomes more and more, with the growth rate of the annual circulation rate increasing by 2%. The rural household affected by land acquisition can also contract the cultivated land of the migrant workers, with the contracting fee of RMB 100-200 yuan/mu generally. By this way, 15.79% rural households making a living on agriculture can rent the land. In addition to the above, Hanshou County will establish the land circulation information platform to assist the villagers completely depending on the land and with renting intentions to look for the cultivated land (contact person in Taizimiao Town: He Yi, mobile phone: 13707420736; contact person in Zhumushan Township: Song Hongyu, mobile phone: 15873627898). Besides, as there are many elder families older than 60 years old making a living on the farmland, Hanshou Economic Development Zone will give the living subsidy with an amount of RMB 150 yuan/month/person to the family with the cultivated land less than 0.5mu after land acquisition. Currently 1 household has enjoyed this policy. Detailed social security and resettlement measures will be introduced in the following part. Additionally, Hanshou County Economic Development Zone will also coordinate with the enterprises within the economic development zone to help the rural households completely depending on agriculture to get job opportunities such as hourly workers, safeguard men and cleaners.

Resettlement measures of Cangshuipu Town

175

be performed. In addition, the ground attachment and young crop compensation fee will be paid to the corresponding owners.

Concerning the cultivated land compensation, the compensation standard of the paddy field in Cangshuipu Town is RMB 35300 yuan/mu and that of the dryland is RMB 24710 yuan/mu; such standard comes from the newest compensation standard issued in 2010, which is determined through negotiations with villagers: the paddy field compensation standard is 21 times of the current young crop output value and the dryland compensation standard is 23 times of the young crop output value. The remaining contract period is 14 years; therefore, such compensation standard can make up the villagers’ land incomes during the contracting period.

According to the investigation, it is discovered that the land income of about 76.5% of rural households is below 20%, so the impact of land acquisition on the livelihood is insignificant. In addition, 14 rural households mainly make a living on agriculture, including 12 households older than 60 years old with dependent children. As Yiyang district is of higher land circulation rate, which was up to 25.2% in 2010 (based on the investigation made by Ziyang District Economic Administration, Yiyang City, Hunan Province in 2010) and Huangtuanling Village is close to the economic development zone, many villagers undertake the non-agricultural jobs; therefore, if the 14 rural households affected by land acquisition volunteer to continue to engage in agriculture, they can easiy rent the local cultivated land with the rent about RMB 0-200 yuan/mu, and the monetary resettlement fund (paddy field, RMB 35300 yuan/mu) is sufficient for the villagers to rent the land. In addition, as Cangshuipu Town is close to the economic development zone, it can attract large number of non-agricultural job opportunities; meanwhile, Cangshuipu Town can also carry out the catering training for villagers so as to promote their non-agricultural employment.

In addition to the above, as these land-acquisitioned rural households (including the 14 rural households affected by land acquisition) shall also be relocated and there housing plot is to be constructed by the road side north to Cangquan Road, the project staff will encourage them to build the ground floor as the storefront upon

176

construction. According to the planning stipulated in the General Planning of Heshan District, Cangshuipu Town (2009-2030), in the following several years, as Huangtuanling Village is located in the planned industrial zone, it will further agglomerate population; thus, the house can be changed to the value-added asset and the sustainable livelihood development can be enhanced due to storefront construction (see Fig. 6-3 for details of the current status of the resettlement site).

Resettlement measures of Xinshi Town

After having been subjected to the preliminary discussions between the project leading group, resettlement assessment group, and villagers’ representatives, it is determined that the land acquisition compensation fee (including the land compensation and resettlement subsidies) and ground attachment and young crop compensation fee of Xinshi Town project will be directly paid to the village committee. In addition to the above, the “Once Case and One Meeting” procedure is passed and the villagers’ representatives of groups 1, 2, and 19 of Xinshu Village and group 12 of Bali Village will be responsible to equally distribute all funds to all rural households of the groups, and villages and groups will not withdraw and retain the land utilization compensation. With regard to the land utilization compensation of the land- expropriated rural households, the land will be readjusted in respective villagers' groups in addition to the above funds. The paddy field compensation standard is 18.4 times of the current young crop output value and the dryland compensation standard is 19.9 times of the young crop output value. The remaining contract period is 14 years; therefore, such compensation standard can make up the villagers’ land incomes during the contracting period. According to the preliminary investigation, it is discovered that the affected rural households accept the monetary compensation for the land.

Group 2 of Xinshu Village is greatly affected with the acquisitioned cultivated land proportion of about 24.03%; Group 19 of Xinshu Village is with the acquisitioned cultivated land proportion of about 6.5%; Group 10 of Bali Village is with the acquisitioned cultivated land proportion of about 3.02%; Group 3 of Xinshu Village is with the acquisitioned cultivated land proportion of about 2.46%; Group 1 of Xinshu Village is with the acquisitioned cultivated land proportion of about 1.15%; Group 2

177

of Bali Village is with the acquisitioned cultivated land proportion of about 0.94%. According to the investigation, it is discovered that only 8% of population in these two villages undertake the agriculture; that is, among the 180 households, only 15 households undertake the non-agricultural jobs. As the local is close to the industrial park with the garbage collection and classification as the leading industry, local people all undertake non-agricultural jobs such as commerce, work contracting, employment in other places, local employment and transportation. Viewing from the income source and composition of the land-acquisitioned rural households, the percentage of the agricultural income in the total income is about 0.79%. After land acquisition, the groups will evenly distribute the cultivated land; no villagers work on the waste dryland (see Fig. 6-1), and the rural households all rent the land for agricultural production free of charge. According to the preliminary investigation, it is discovered that all affected rural households accept the monetary compensation.

Figure 6-1 Current Utilization of the Land Expropriated Resettlement measures of Dingzi Town

Concerning the cultivated land compensation, the compensation standard of the paddy field in Dingzi Town is RMB 47520 yuan/mu; such standard comes from the newest compensation standard issued in 2010, which is determined through negotiations with

178

villagers: the paddy field compensation standard is 23.76 times of the current young crop output value. The remaining contract period is 14 years; therefore, such compensation standard can make up the villagers’ land incomes during the contracting period. In affected Xingcheng Community of Dingzi Town, 17 rural households are affected by land acquisition; 71% of them are with the income loss below 10%, and 29% of them are with the income loss between 10-20%. Also, the cultivated land loss is 0.45mu per household; if calculating according to the current output value, the loss is about RMB 841 yuan/household. According to the investigation made by the Rural Work Office of the People’s Government of Wangcheng District, in 2009, the total land circulation area of the whole county occupied 34.7% of the cultivated land area; as many villagers go to other places to undertake non-agricultural jobs, the cultivated land is sufficient for the villagers’ renting and the land acquisition compensation is also enough for their renting. Besides, as 14 households among the 17 affected rural households have non-agricultural population undertaking the granite processing and construction, contracting work, and other non-agricultural jobs, all of them prefer to the monetary compensation. One elderly person of no family entitling to the five guarantees policy will not be largely affected; as the paddy field loss rate of the persons with material difficulties including Li Runzhi and Cai Shuizhi is below 3%, the influence is minor. The resettlement of these vulnerable groups will be described in the vulnerable group resettlement and rehabilitation part.

Resettlement measures of Zhentou Town

After having been subjected to the preliminary discussions between the project leading group of Zhentou Town, resettlement assessment group, and villagers’ representatives, it is determined that the land acquisition compensation fee (including the land compensation and resettlement subsidies) of Zhentou Town project will be wholly paid to the affected households, and no land adjustment within the village will be performed. In addition, the ground attachment and young crop compensation fee will be paid to the corresponding owners.

The compensation standard of paddy filed in Zhentou Town is RMB 28800 yuan/mu, which is the latest compensation standard issued in 2010 and also determined through negotiation with the villagers; the compensation standard of paddy field is 16 times of the output value of the young crops and the remaining contract period is 14 years,

179

therefore this compensation standard can make up the villagers’ land income during the contract period. Meanwhile, two years ago, a cadmium pollution even occurred in Shuangqiao Village of Zhentou Town; the cadmium pollution source (Changsha Xianghe Chemical Plant) was located in Shuangqiao Village, Zhentou Town, Liuyang City, which was built and put into production in April 2004; the cadmium pollution was caused to adjacent areas due to its illegal production As reported by relevant information of Changsha Municipal Party Committee, the soil within 500m around the plant was subjected to the obvious cadmium pollution; the area of 500m-1200m around the plant was regarded as the light pollution area, and the cadmium content of the soil out of 1200m was up to requirements of the Quality Standard for Soil Environment fundamentally. Actually, the land of 1180 mu centered on Shuangqiao Village is not suitable for the edible crop plantation. In order to fully utilize the unpolluted land, the local government has centralized the land by means of three-stage circulation and rent the land to the rural households with the paddy price of 800 jin (a unit of weight) per mu and per year, so as to guarantee the minimum income of peasants. Due to such reason, the rural household support government’s behaviors of uniformly renting the land and providing the rent by means of the minimum paddy protection price; therefore, it is a default alternative for relevant insurance locally. After land acquisition, the cultivated land per capita of the rural households with the least cultivated land area is 0.8mu, therefore, generally speaking, the impact on livelihood is insignificant. Additionally, after the project has been implemented, lots of posts such as flower planting, packaging, transportation, service and operation will be provided. As the agricultural population all work on flower planting, they can all get job opportunities.

In addition, it common for local people to rent their land and go out to work. Jintian Vilageand Shuangqiao Village involved in the project totally rent land with an area of 1400mu to the local nursery stock demonstraction base. According to the investigation, all rural households of the project volunteer to accept the monetary compensation.

Resettlement measures of Santang Town

After having been subjected to the preliminary discussions between the project leading group, resettlement assessment group, and villagers’

180

representatives, it is determined that the land acquisition compensation fee (including the land compensation and resettlement subsidies) of Santang Town project will be wholly paid to the affected household. In addition to the above, the attachment and young crop compensation fee will be paid to the corresponding owners.

The cutivated land expropriated of Wangjiachong Group, Santang Town is uncultivated land and it will be compensated according to the compensation standard of paddy fields, namely RMB 30910 yuan/mu, higher than the compensation standard of the uncultivated land, which meet the villagers’ compensation will and all villagers accept the compensation.

Resettlement measures of Wanbao Town

About 14 affected rural households in Wanbao Town are involved with relocation; the agricultural income accounts for about 20% of the total income; generally speaking, the project implementation will not greatly influence the local rural households. Concerning the compensation fee for the expropriated land, 70% will be collectively owned and the remaining 30% will be owned by the rural households with land acquisition. Also, the compensation fee for the young crops will be owned by the rural households with land acquisition. And, the land will be readjusted based on the population of the whole village and the quantity of the expropriated land.

Due to readjustment of the cultivated land, the livelihood of the rural households affected by the land acquisition will not be greatly changed. Besides, as the rural households’ dependence on the land is relatively low, and there are lots of abandoned lands in the village, prior to the land readjustment, villagers are entitled to cultivate such abandoned land free of charge; however, according to the investigation, few rural households choose to make cultivation.

Concerning the cultivated land compensation, the compensation standard of the paddy field in Qunyi Village and Shilin Village is RMB 45375 yuan/mu and that of the dryland is RMB 27225 yuan/mu; such standard comes from the newest compensation standard issued in 2010, which is determined through negotiations with villagers: the paddy field compensation standard is 26.69 times of the current young crop output value and the dryland compensation standard is 24.75 times of the young crop output

181

value. The remaining contract period is 14 years; therefore, such compensation standard can make up the villagers’ land incomes during the contracting period. According to the preliminary investigation, it is discovered that the villages accept the monetary compensation.

Fourteen rural households affected by relocation and land acquisition prepare to build the storefront in the new resettlement site; as such place is of convenient traffic, the storefront can be rented to the transient population for dwelling or business (see Fig. 6-4 new resettlement site). As the impact of the land readjustment on the rural households is minor and the increased non-agricultural jobs reduce the dependence on the land, the affected rural households all select the monetary compensation.

Resettlement measures of Yueshan Town

After having been subjected to the preliminary discussions between the project leading group of Yueshan Town, resettlement assessment group, and villagers’ representatives, it is determined that the land acquisition compensation fee (including the land compensation and resettlement subsidies) of Yueshan Town project will be wholly paid to the affected households, and no land adjustment within the village will be performed. In addition, the ground attachment and young crop compensation fee will be paid to the corresponding owners.

The agricultural income of 90% of rural households of Xinqiao Village, Yueshan Town is below 20%. According to the investigation data of the Agricultural Management Office of Xiangxiang City, the land circulation rate in 2009 was 9.54%. The compensation standard for paddy fields of Xinqiao Village is RMB 31857 yuan/mu, which is the latest compensation standard issued in 2010 and also determined through negotiation with the villagers; the compensation standard of paddy field is 17.7 times of the output value of the young crops and the remaining contract period is 14 years, therefore this compensation standard can make up the villagers’ land income during the contract period. Based on the investigation, villagers accept this compensation standard. Meanwhile, after Yueshan Town Wastewater Treatment Plant and the farm product market have been built up, the employment priority will be given to the local land-lost peasants; the land-lost peasants without relevant skills undertaking the farm work originally will be preferentially arranged the

182

service jobs. Currently, both the committee of Xinqiao Village and the People’s Government of Yueshan Town have reached the preliminary intention.

The quantity of the expropriated collectively owned land in Wangjiachong group of Santang Village is 21.34mu, which is the wasteland; accordingly, the village is not involved in the social security problem of the land-lost peasants.

6.3.3 Resettlement for the State-owned Land Occupied

The project of Wanbao Town in Loudi City occupies 40.6 mu of state-owned lands of which 2.1 mu is for Wanbao Health Center, 13.8 mu for Loudi Tianke Logistics Company, 4.2 mu for Jinguangyuan enterprises and 20.5 mu for Hunan Zhonghao Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. The state-owned land of this project is ranked as the Grade I industrial land and its price will be calculated with 100% of benchmark land price of RMB 210 yuan/ m 2 of industrial land in Wanbao Town. Based on the calculation, compensation standard for state- owned land acquisition in the project area is RMB 140,000 yuan/mu. Compensation fees will be directly paid to the affected unit. State-owned agricultural land of 141.58 mu of Daling Garden spot Group One in Santang Town has been acquired and relocated, which accounts for 8.85% of all the land of the Garden Spot. After the negotiation within the Garden Spot, the rest land of the Garden Spot will be adjusted to compensate the affected rural households after the land acquisition, thus causing a minor impact on the staffs with land loss in the Garden Spot.

6.3.4 Resettlement for the Households with House Demolition

Appropriate resettlement of the relocated households has always been the focus of the project resettlement department office and also an issue consulted repeatedly with the affected population. This project influences 368 people from 110 rural households with a total house relocation area of 23,249.94 m 2. The project resettlement department office has conducted thorough investigations and consultations in the relocated households to get known their resettlement intentions and formulate corresponding resettlement policies and measures based on their comments and requirements. It’s planned that the resettlement plan of Taizimiao Town will be implemented during the period from November, 2010 to July, 2017; that of Dingzi Town of Wangcheng District will be implemented before January, 2013; the resettlement of Cangshuipu Town will be completed before April, 2013; and

186

the resettlement of Wanbao Town will be completed in January, 2013. The project resettlement department office and the local demolition firm have conducted thorough investigations and consultations in the affected population in towns related to house relocation to get known the resettlement intentions of the relocated families and formulated corresponding resettlement policies and measures based on their comments and requirements. Relocation is not involved in Zoushi Town of Taoyuan County, Changde City, Xinshi Town of Miluo County, Yueshan Town of Xiangxiang City, Zhentou Town of Liuyang City and SantangTown of Hengnan County. The compensation requirements of all relocated households on the house relocation will be satisfied and the resettlement of other towns related to relocation should keep the neighbourhood as same as possible to maintain the social integration. General measures are as follows: Table 6-4 General Situation of the Resettlement Measures for House Demolition Impact on Demolition Replacement Resettlement Impact on Town Social Standard Price Method Livelihood Integration The resettlement will be performed within the community The 2-storey and the brick- original concrete neighborhood house (type will be kept As the I), 790 unchanged; project is Brick-concrete Type yuan/m 2; one- the Owner will closer to the I: 1100 yuan/m 2; storey grade I Resettlement complete and national brick-concrete Type brick- within the Taizimiao provide the “3 road 319, II: 1010 /m 2; concrete community will Town of availables and it’s Brick-timber Type I: house (type not generate Hanshou 1 accessible” convenient 820 yuan/m 2; brick- II), 773 social County 2 of the for local timber Type II: 790 yuan/m ; integration resettlement people to yuan/m 2; earth- brick-timber problem. site free of take non- timber, 423 yuan/m 2 house, 740 2 charge, but the agricultural yuan/m ; hut, 2 property right jobs. 436 yuan/m ; still belongs to and earth- Zhuzibei timber house, 2 village and 423 yuan/m Daoliuping village; and the area of the resettlement site is 50m 2 each person.

(1) Project of Taizimiao Town, Hanshou County of Changde City: This project influences 130 people from 29 rural households with a total house relocation area of 7,773 m 2. During implementation, relocation and resettlement will be performed

189

according to the intentions of relevant residents. The works involved in the project will be completed during the period from July, 2017 to June, 2014 and the construction of each road will also be completed in different time period. Before July, 2012, the demolition will be completed uniformly by the Owner together with the resettlement affairs office, and the demolition will be carried out by the peasants themselves after the resettlement agreement with the peasants has been signed. The resettlement methods for this project will be as follows: The reconstruction resettlement method will be adopted for the relocated residents. Taizimiao Town (the implementation unit of the project) and Hanshou Economic Development Zone (the direct beneficiary of the project) will plan uniformly to provide residential lands on which the relocated households can reconstruct houses themselves after the approval in accordance with law. The residential lands for reconstruction resettlement will be located near No. 319 National Highway at Daoliuping Village and Zhuzibei Village respectively and the rural households who provide the residential lands will be compensated by the Owner according to the compensation standard for land acquisition. The property right still belongs to Daoliuping Village and Zhuzibei Village (The area of the cultivated land acquired has been included in the impact investigation of the project) and the Owner will finish three availables and one accessible (electricity, water supply and paved roads are available and you have accessibility to leveled ground) before the demolished houses of the peasants. Daoliuping Village and Zhuzibei Village will be resettled in their own villages respectively for the relocation (Refer to the left figure and the right figure of Figure 6- 1 respectively). Through discussion between the leading group of the project and the representatives of the villagers with house demolition, the selection on residential land of the 29 households will be based on a voluntary principle and the residential lands of the original neighbourhood will be ensured to be connected. According to the current geographical distribution and the communications and familiarity among villagers, the following preliminary resettlement measures will be adopted: 5 relocated households from Daoliuping Village group will be resettled in Daoliuping Village; Tangchong, Guojiachong, Yangluobei and Fengshu Village group will be resettled in Zhuzibei Village, of which 10 relocated households from Tangchong group will be neighbours of 7 households from Yangluobei group, 3 relocated households from Guojiachong group will be neighbours of 7 households from Yangluobei group and 4 households from Fengshu group. The area of the resettlement site is 50m 2/person. During resettlement, the specific location of each household in

190

each group will be determined through negotiation between the leading group of the project and the relocated households. The relocated residents will be provided with compensation fees for relocation and relevant auxiliary facilities, relocation allowances, temporary transition fee, incentive fees, etc. Relevant expenses will be paid by the supporting fund of the Owner. The new resettlement site is located within the community, so it will not generate social integration and livelihood problems. Meanwhile, the new resettlement site is closer to the national road 319, it’s convenient for local people to take non-agricultural jobs.

Figure 6-2 Current Status of the Resettlement Site of Taizimiao Town Project

(2) Project of Cangshuipu Town, Yiyang City: This project influences 147 people from 59 rural households (27 buildings in all) with a total house relocation area of 7,876 m 2. According to the plan and arrangement of the project implementation progress, the project works will be completed during the period from July 2012 to June, 2015, and this project will complete the land acquisition and house demolition in batches. Before July, 2012, the resettlement affairs office will further verify the quantity of the demolished physical goods and sign the resettlement agreement with the affected rural households. After the peasants have been assited to complete the three availables and one accessible work beofe July, 2012, they will carry out demolition by themselves. The resettlement methods for peasants have been fully considered by the project: Firstly, apply the voluntary principles, namely, perform the resettlement by means of “one mu for three households” (namely the residential land and public land of the three households will be totaled as one mu) to achieve the “three availables and one accessible” in the resettlement land; the residential land for reconstruction will be offered by Cangshuipu Town, which is located at the roadside north to Cangquan road and within the range of Huangtuanling Village, and also within the range of the planned range of the resettlement site of Cangshuipu Town;

191

after the house demolition and relocation, peasnants are near to the farmland and the employment priority system will also be performed to the land-lost rural households. According to the current investigation result, the relocatees all prefer to the first resettlement mode. As the resettlement site is located at the roadside north to Cangquan road, which is of higher economic value; if the residents build the ground floor of the resettlement house as the storefront, the economic value can be further increased. With the growth of population within the industrial park, greater economic value will be achieved. Through the discussion between the project leading group and the representatives of the villagers with house demolition, the selection of residential land will be based on: voluntary selection; the principle that villagers of the original natural village are adjacent; and the principle that villagers of the original adjoined natural villages are adjacent. The relocated residents will be provided with compensation fees for relocation and relevant auxiliary facilities, relocation allowances, temporary transition fee, etc. Relevant expenses will be paid by the supporting fund of the Owner.

(3) Project of Wanbao Town, Loudi City: This project influences 56 people from 14 rural households with a total house relocation area of 4,460 m 2. People’s Government of Wanbao Town will be responsible for the land acquisition, relocation and resettlement. According to the plan and arrangement of the project implementation progress, the project works will be completed during the period from July 2012 to June, 2014. Before March, 2012, the resettlement affairs office will further verify the quantity of the demolished physical goods and sign the resettlement agreement with the affected rural households. After the peasants have been assited to complete the three availables and one accessible work beofe July, 2012, they will carry out demolition by themselves.The planning will be considered according to the

192

different regions of residents and the voluntary principle to resettle with a whole village in the resettlement sites of the industrial park. It is planned to construct resettlement sites on the southwester corner of Wanbao Town Economic Development Zone to resettle relocatees. Currently, villagers are building houses here. This resettlement method can ensure the original residents of the whole village ingerate into the new community. Demolition and reconstruction, especially the residence construction of the resettlement sites, will be required to be connected closely with the development and construction of this project to better boost the implementation of this project. According to the planning, per capita residential land in the resettlement sites is 35 m 2. Some houses have been built up on the resettlement site, See Figure 6-4 (as the geographical location of the local is good and volume of travllers is large, local new buildings are commonly 4-storey houses, which can be rented as storefronts). The resettlement site is located is near to the Loudi-Shuangfeng Route and the railway under construction with advantageous geological location, so the ground floor can be built as the storefront when villagers build their new houses, and the visitor flow-rate brought by the highway and railway construction will bring new business opportunities for the rural households of the new relocated villages.

Figure 6-4 Conditions of the Resettlement Site of Wanbao Town Project

(4) Dingzi Town, Wangcheng District, Changsha City: This project influences 35 people from 8 rural households with a total house relocation area of 3,140.94 m 2. According to the plan and arrangement of the project implementation progress, the project works will be completed during the period fron January, 2013 to December, 2014. Before October, 2010, the Owner together with the resettlement affairs office will complete the investigation on quantity of the physical goods and sign the

193

resettlement agreement. During the period from December, 2012 to January, 2013, peasants will complete house demolition and relocation by themselves. According to resettlement and compensation methods of Wangcheng District for demolition and the negotiation results between the resettlement office of People’ s Government of Dingzi Town and rural households, compensations for house, house decoration, facilities and house purchase subsidy fees will be paid in currency and in accordance with the specified compensation standard. The house demolition compensation fee mainly includes two parts: house compensation fee and capitation fee. The house compensation standard is as follow: the compensation will be made to the type I brick-concrete house based on RMB 1950 yuan/m 2, and the compensation will be made to the type II brick-concrete house based on RMB 1800 yuan/m 2. The compensation includes the house compensation fee, house decoration and fitment and facility compensation fee, house buying subsidy, and relevant expenses. The shanty and wing room will be applied with the uniform compensation standard of RMB 1000 yuan/m 2; the capitation fee is RMB 88000 yuan per capita (limited to the registered population). Other relocation compensation fees include the moving expense with an amount of twice the maximum value; the moving expense will be compensated based on RMB 200 yuan/m 2; the transition fee will be calculated based on 24 months, with RMB 144 yuan/m 2; the just-in-time relocation award will be rewarded based on RMB 200 yuan/m 2. When the rural households entitling to the monetary resettlement buy houses by themselves, they have the priority to buy the adjacent price-limited commercial houses, and each of them can apply for the price-limited commercial house with an area of 55 m 2 based on the registration upon relocation. Taking Yuegongpo price-limited commercial house community of New Dingzi Town as the example, the average house price is RMB 2206 yuan/m2. If buying a price-limited house with an area of 100 m 2, RMB 220600 yuan is needed, and the rural household with four members can remain about 60% funds. If buying the commercial house, corresponding house buying subsidy and allowance can be obtained. In addition to the above, the County People’s Government also encourages the relocation and resettlement objects to buy the commercial house by themselves; if buying the commercial house, the house buying subsidy with an amount of RMB 25300 yuan and the house buying allowance with an amount of RMB 54700 yuan will be paid to each person based on relevant standards. As the distance between the adjacent price-limited house and commercial house and the agricultural production site is short, the impact

194

on the livelihood is minor. Also, with regard to 8 rural households affected by relocation, the family with the minimum relocation compensation fee is 0.58 million; according to the local house price, such compensation fee is enough for the family to buy the building with a storefront; other families all can get sustainable livelihood sources. The rural household enjoying above house buying subsidy and allowance and capitation fee is not entitled to construction of the new housing plot in adjacent area.

In this project, the demolition of the following 2 project towns involves the compensation for the business storefronts by using the houses of the rural households on the collectively-owned land and that for the enterprises and institutions with land acquisition and house demolition:

(1) Zoushi Town, Changde City: The reconstruction of Shangjie Street and Xiajie Street of Zoushi Town will require demolishing those mobile booths set up by the 56 sellers on the sidewalk. The sidewalk occupied by the booths is public land which will be reconstructed after the road construction. As these booths have not got legal permission or administrating licensing, compensation issues are not involved in this project. However, the Owner will inform the sellers of the construction plan 6 months prior to the project construction to allow them to make preparation. As these booths are simple and mobile (Refer to Figure 2-2), it is convenient to dismantle them. After the reconstruction of the Shangjie Street and Xiajie Street, the management environment of business units will be improved (Please see the current pavement conditions), thus promoting the value of local shopping environment and storefronts. Through group discussion and questionnaires, residents all agree to carry out the relocation.

(2) Wanbao Town, Loudi City: The project construction involves in the storefronts of the rural households, which are the ground floors of the farmhouses of the relcoated residents (see Figure 2-2). When villagers relocate on the new resettlement site, they can uniformly build the ground floor as the storefront. As mentioned above, according to the geographic location of the new resettlement site (near to Loudi-Shuangfeng Route and the railway under construction), good economic benefits will be achieved (see Figure 6-4).

6.3.6 Resettlement for the Relocation of Enterprises and Institutions

Loudi Wanbao Town project is involved with the relocation of enterprises and institutions, with the demolished brick-concrete structure of 210m 2, demolished brick-wood structure of 60 m 2, and demolished simple structure of 1460 m 2. Through consultations, following resettlement modes are reached: the monetary compensation will be made to the state-owned land affected by relocation and acquisition based on the corresponding basic land price; the relocated enterprises and institutions include Wanbao Health Center and Jinguangyuan Leisure Food Factory. There are many simple structures in the demolished houses, and all of them are waste auxiliary structures of Jinguangyuan Leisure Food Factory. And, the demolished house of Wanbao Health Center is the brick-concrete structure, which is the waste auxiliary structure at the corner. The demolition will not adversely impact the production and operation of the enterprises and institutions. The affected enterprises and

196

institutions in need of house demolition will be applied with the monetary compensation mode, and no resettlement will be made. The monetary compensation standard is consistent with the compensation standard of the demolished residential house: brick-concrete structure is RMB 1100 yuan/m 2, brick-wood structure is RMB 860 yuan/m 2, and earth-wood structure is RMB 430 yuan/m 2. Through the investigation, it is discovered that the project unit accepts the relocation.

6.3.7 Affected Infrastructures and Ground Attachments

For the affected infrastructure and ground attachments, the project unit will compensate the property right unit firstly and then the property right will be responsible for the recovery and reconstruction. The affected municipal public utilities will be demolished by the demolition unit according to the construction drawing of this project and based on the principle of not influencing the construction as much as possible and minimizing the relocation. For relocation of the affected pipelines, the demolition people shall conduct reconstruction (or relocation) firstly and then demolition on the premise of not influencing the normal life of residents (including those unnecessary to relocate) along the pipelines. The general rehabilitation program will be as follows:

Zoushi Town, Taoyuan County: as for the relocation of pipeline, the reconstruction (or relocation) should go before the removal on the premises of not affecting residents alongside (including those in no need of relocation). In order to avoid negative impacts on local residents in the reconstruction of Shangjie and Xiajie streets, it’s planned not to remove communicating devices and facilities including wire poles, transformers and communication cables. And 525 roadside trees (magnolia grandiflora) involved in the reconstruction of Shangjie and Xiajie streets will be transplanted by the Town People’s Government into public land and as the Owner, the Town People’s Government shall undertake the transplanting expenses. According to the planning of the Zoushi Town People’s Government, the expenses of transplanting roadside trees won’t be included into the resettlement plan. The relocation of 3900m tap water pipeline network

197

involved in the reconstruction of Shangjie and Xiajie streets will be directly included into the reconstruction budget of Shangjie and Xiajie streets. Additionally, the water supply pipeline network for residents will also be reconstructed and the domestic water of residents will be supplied by the PE water supply pipe with a diameter of 250. The reconstruction will resolve the issues of insufficient water pressure and domestic water shortage. The vegetable plot in the riverway will be removed in the Zouxi River harnessing project, but no compensation will be given because the riverway is classified as state-owned land and meanwhile the reclamation of vegetable plot gains no legal and administrative permits. However, through negotiations between the Owner and the local residents, the Owner will notify the project construction time to the local residents within half a year prior to the project construction, convenient for them to harvest agricultural crops therein.

Taizimiao Town of Hanshou County: the project involves relocation of 993 tombs, with large quantity. Due to high attention on Chinese tradition, the relocation of tombs is difficult to carry out. However, we got to know from the Taizimiao Town and Hanshou County Economic Development Zone, a lot of tombs have been moved out since the construction of the local industrial park, so the local government has rich experiences in disposal of tombs relocation. The surveys carried out by evaluation experts in resettlement indicate that local villagers have been accustomed to conflicts between construction of industrial park and relocation of tombs, and the willingness of relocation has been not decided by customs but directly depended on compensations. According to Notice on Announcing the Compensation Standard for Facilities Related to Land Acquisition and Relocation in Changde City (CJF [2007] No. 68), the compensation standard is set at RMB 1000 yuan per tomb. The actual moving price of each tomb will be decided by final work quantity and price of labor force that time, of which, the surpass part will be listed in contingencies. The relocation site of tombs will be in

198

the forest land of villagers and the concrete site will be chosen by the villagers themselves.

Cangshuipu Town of Yiyang City: the project involves relocation of 75 tombs, with large quantity. Due to high attention on Chinese tradition, the relocation of tombs is difficult to carry out. However, we got to know that a lot of tombs have been moved out since the construction of the existing projects in Heshan District, especially Yiyang Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone nearby the Huangtuanling Village, which have been completed after a number of large-scale land acquisition and relocation, so the local government has rich experiences with disposal of tombs relocation. The relocation site of tombs will be in the forest land of villagers and the concrete site will be chosen by the villagers themselves. Such affected infrastructures as wire poles, telephone wires and canals will be included into the engineering budget, which will be resettled in line with road distribution. The ground attachments belonging to peasants will be directly compensated to affected peasants. The affected fruit trees will be compensated at relevant compensation standard with compensation cash directly handed out to affected peasants.

Xinshi Town of Miluo City: the project involves relocation of 20m optical cables, with small relocation quantities of infrastructures and ground attachments. As per local labor force price, after negotiation between the Xinshi Town People’s Government and local labor forces, the relocation price of optical cable is calculated at RMB 200 yuan per meter, in total RMB 4000 yuan compensation for the relocation of optical cables.

Dingzi Town of Wangcheng City: the affected infrastructures and ground attachments will be restored by the unit with property rights after being paid with compensations by the project implementation unit. The affected municipal public utilities will be demolished by the demolition unit according to the construction drawing of this project and based on the principle of not influencing the construction as

199

much as possible and minimizing the relocation. As for the relocation of pipeline, the reconstruction (or relocation) should go before the removal on the premises of not affecting residents alongside (including those in no need of relocation). The ground attachments involved in the trade market of agricultural products will be included into the compensations for land acquisition and houses demolition. The ground attachments including wire poles and roadside trees will be compensated at replacement price.

Zhentou Town of Liuyang City: the project involves no relocation but land expropriation (including grain farmland, dry farmland and forest land), so no impact is produced to infrastructures, but ground attachments should be carefully checked, recorded and compensated. The ground attachments involved in the flower and nusery stock electronic commerce transaction center, and the scientific research and training center shall be included into the land acquisition compensation. In order to avoid negative impacts on local residents as much as possible, it’s planned not to remove communicating devices and facilities including wire poles, transformers and communication cables. Over one thousand trees involved in the project construction will be transplanted by the Town People’s Government in a united way. In the project construction, the pavement excavation during the period of base construction will produce large quantities of mud and soil, which shall be unitedly dumped into Jintian Village flower and nusery stock electronic commerce transaction center for leveling the ground, and the remains shall be delivered to the garbage landfill site of Zhentou Town.

Wanbao Town of Loudi City: the project involves relocation of 56 tombs, with large quantity. Due to high attention on Chinese tradition, the relocation of tombs is difficult to carry out. However, we got to know from the Wanbao Town, the local government has once organized several relocations of tombs, so they have rich experiences with disposal of tombs relocation. According to the

200

relevant compensation standard, the compensation is set at RMB 1000 yuan per earth tomb, RMB 1200 yuan per brick-stone tomb and RMB 1500 yuan per brick-concrete tomb. The actual moving price of each tomb will be decided by final work quantity and price of labor force that time, of which, the surpass part will be listed in contingencies. The relocation site of tombs will be in the forest land of villagers and the concrete site will be chosen by the villagers themselves.

Santang Town of Hengnan County: The ground attachments affected are mainly fruit trees and tea trees. Relevant compensation fund will be appropriated to the proerpty right unit.

Yueshan Town of Xiangxiang City, the project involves no relocation of infrastructures and ground attachments.

6.3.8 Compensation Scheme for Temporary Land Use

The project only involves temporary land acquisition in Cangshuipu Town of Yiyang City and Wanbao Town of Loudi City.

Compensation Directly Shilin Village for young crops Wanbao compensate Owner’s Owner’s of Wanbao and Road the rural Unit Unit Town attachments, households 2000 yuan/mu

The road construction and excavation of Cangshuipu Town, Yiyang City involve temporary land use of 32.4 mu, respectively at two sides of the roads to be built, including paddy field of 16.7 mu, dry farmland of 1.41 mu, grassland and forest land of 1.85 mu and hilly area of 12.44 mu. The compensation amount is as follows: paddy filed, RMB 1650 yuan/mu/year; dry farmland, RMB 1050 yuan/mu/year; grassland and secondary forest, RMB 816 yuan/mu/year and oil tea forest, RMB 3000 yuan/mu/year. The related monetary compensations will be directly paid to affected rural households; after the project construction, the Owner will restore its original functions of temporary land.

The rural households affected by temporary land use of Wanbao Town, Loudi City will be provided for appropriate monetary compensation in line with relevant policies and they will be compensated based on the compensation standard for paddy field, namely RMB 2000 yuan/mu. Due to the regional difference, the compensation standard is different (See Table 6-5). Meanwhile, the temporarily used land left after the project construction must be timely leveled and then returned if it belongs to the land unitedly expropriated for urban development. And the land that does not belong to this cateogry shall be leveled for restoring vegetation. And the selection of the greening trees shall be fit for local climate and soil, and abide by the principle of beautifying landscape and improving eco-environment. The farmland occupied due to the project must be timely reclaimed after the project completion. The reclamation requirements include: thoroughly cleaning structures and wastes on the temporarily used land, ploughing surface soil by

202

manpower or animal with a ploughing depth of generally 30 to 40 cm. To prevent farmland from soil loss, a row of shrubs of locally appropriate species will be planted at the outer edge of farmland with a spacing of 1 m.

Yueshan Wastewater Treatment Plant involves the temporary land occupation. The land is occupied along the road and it belongs to the public land. Additionally, there are no ground attachments on the land, so the compensation for young crops and other attachments is unnecessary.

6.3.9 Resettlement and Rehabilitation of the Affected Vulnerable Groups

The project totally involves vulnerable groups of 19 households. For the vulnerable families with house demolition, they can participate in the endowment insurance for land-lost peasants based on their willingness, and special assistance and care will be given by the resettlement departments at all levels and the town people’s governments.

The PMO will provide following guarantee measures to the vulnerable households determined by this project:

Taizimiao Town of Hanshou County: the project involves 3 vulnerable households, totally 8 persons, including 1 household enjoying the five guarantees and 2 households which have been identified as households in hardship but not yet included into the low guaranteeing coverage. The major measures include: both of two households affected by the project have disabled persons, so the relocation shall be carried out after the resettlement completion, and the PMO will promote their compensations for moving expenses, to make up for their laborers shortage; appropriate hardship subsides will be given for these two families of Wang Xiaochun and Zhang Chunli, and also rewards for relocation will be increased; the family of Wang Xiaochun meets the land-lost peasant conditions, that is, according to the Implementation Plan for the Social Security of Peasants with Land Loss in Hanshou Economic Development Zone (2007), those peasants with land per capita within 0.5mu fulfill the conditions of social security polices, and for land-lost peasants, including no less

203

than 55 years old females and no less than 60 years old males, endowment subsidies of RMB 150 yuan per month will be directly issued, so his parents of over 60 years old will be given with the livelihood subsidy of RMB 150 yuan per month; for the five- guaranteeing household, Zhou Jintan, two schemes including the homes for the aged and living locally are prepared for her to choose and the alimony fee will be paid by the Owner.

Xinshi Town of Miluo City: the project involves 2 vulnerable households, totally 2 persons, both households enjoying the five guarantees. The major measures include: the education charges of the young guaranteed household, Zhou Lu will be provided for free till his 18 years old by the natural village with 1000 Jin (1 Jin equivalent to 500g) grain per year and with RMB 1200 yuan living expense per year by the administrative village where he lives, but his custody is still on his uncle. The five-guaranteed household, Ji Zhigao will be provided for 1000 jin (1 Jin equivalent to 500g) grain per year by the natural village where he lives and RMB 60 yuan living expense per month together with free illumination and drinking water by the administrative village where he lives. In addition, if he is willing to go to the homes for the aged, all expenses will be paid by the town people’s government.

Cangshuipu Town, Yiyang City: This project involves 11 people from 3 vulnerable households, of which: one is the household with land loss and the other two are relocated households with land loss. The main measures will be as follows: For the family of Jiang Qingquan, although the impact on this family by land acquisition is insignificant at present, the PMO will provide help in their relocation and resettlement, as Jiang Qingquan is in prison and his 50-year mother is working in a local plant. Besides, the project will provide his mother with an opportunity to receive employment training and support her in the process of resettlement to build a two-storey house with the first storey as a storefront to guarantee a sustainable livelihood for her. The project will provide appropriate employment training for the

204

young labourers from Li Kuangsong’s family and give a hand in house demolition, relocation and resettlement. The project will support this family in the process of resettlement to build a two-storey house with the first storey as a storefront to guarantee a sustainable livelihood for them. Peng Baixiang’s family will be included in Rural Lowest Income Insurance (but the specified election procedure is required) in 2012 based on the fact of drug using of the family member. The compensations for cultivated land acquisition will ensure the basic life demands of Peng Baixiang’ family are satisfied and they will be included in the coverage of new rural endowment insurance with its increased range and his family member can decide whether to participate in it or not.

Zhentou Town, Liuyang City: This project involves 2 people from 2 vulnerable households. The main measures will be as follows: The PMO will negotiate with the civil affairs department actively to apply for the exemption of new rural cooperative health care insurance premiums for the affected people and provide appropriate difficulty subsidy. After the completion, People’s Government of Zhentou Town and Wansheng Garden Co., Ltd. will negotiate and promise that people from households in hardship will be provided with job opportunities in the flower and plant demonstration base.

Dingzi Town, Wangcheng District: This project involves 12 people from 4 vulnerable households, of which two households are with a female householder and make a living by farming, one household with a leukaemia patient is caught up in a rather difficult situation due to the medical fees and one household is an elderly person of no family and no source of income. The main measures will be as follows: During the construction, the project will ensure women from the two households will be employed at some non-technical positions. Besides, women and men will be equivalently paid for the same work. For the households with leukaemia patient and elderly person of no family, the PMO will negotiate with the civil affairs department actively

205

to apply for their exemption of new rural cooperative health care insurance premiums and provide appropriate difficulty subsidy. In addition, these rural households can all get the relocation compensation fund with an amount not less than RMB 500,000 yuan due to land acquisition and house demolition, which is enough for them to buy houses with storefronts and are favorabore for the rehabilitation of their livelihood.

Yueshan Town, Xiangxiang City: This project involves 4 people from 1 vulnerable household. The main measures will be as follows: Subsistence subsidies will be provided to the poor family, Gan Shixiang’s family, as Gan Shixiang is weak and cannot be self- dependent. Besides, the PMO will negotiate with the civil affairs department actively to apply for the exemption of new rural cooperative health care insurance premiums for this family and provide appropriate difficulty subsidy. After the completion of this project, People’s Government of Yueshan Town promises that job opportunities will be provided for people from households in hardship in wastewatertreatment plant and farm product market.

6.3.10 Training for Relocatees

In addition to the above measures to guarantee the relocated and land-expropriated rural households, the towns will offer the vocational training to local villagers, one member of the rural households with the training willingness can participate in relevant training at the least.

In order to ensure the affected persons can receive sustainable livelihood rehabilitation, the social security department of Taizimiao Town and the social security department of the economic development zone will provide the rural households affected by land acquisition with the occupational skill training free of charge. However, no healthy and young peasants involved with land acquisition undertake the agricultural production currently, and most of them find jobs in other places or locally. In order to attract more healthy and young peasants to participate in the training, relevant training work of the project will be launched around the Spring

206

Festival. Also, considering that many women and elders undertake the farm work and their livelihood will be largely affected after land acquisition, in order to ensure that the affected person can receive the sustainable income rehabilitation, Taizimiao Town and the social security department of Hanshou Economic Development Zone will periodically offer the occupational skill training free of charge, including the mechanical manufacturing and processing industry, vehicle repair technology, labor law, computer and cooking skill, etc. During the project construction period, engineering workers and other workers will be required; during the project operation period, the posts responsible for the engineering facility operation and maintenance and other worker (hourly worker, security personnel, cleaner, etc.) will be required. Taizimiao Town and Hanshou Economic Development Zone shall give priority to considering the employment problems of the land-expropriated rural households. The involved content will be closely related to the possible vocational opportunities after completing the project, including the cooking skill, legal person of the modern logistics and special agricultural product circulation cooperatives, cashier training, training on the service staff and administrator of the logistics park, training on the catering service staff and administrator, labor law and computer, commercial service, waste recycling classification and health knowledge and husbandry breeding and flower and plant cultivation, confinement nurse, etc.

In order to attract more healthy and young peasants to participate in the training of Cangshuipu Town project, relevant training work of the project will be launched around the Spring Festival of each year. The training will be launched based on the post requirements of the industrial park of Cangshuipu: circular weaving technology training, prilling technology training, drawing and blowing technology training, printing technology training, labor law training, and cooking sill. Considering the employment problems of the middle-aged and old women after the development of the industrial park, it is planned to hold the training on the cooking skill and catering. During the specific project implementation, the villagers’ participation in the training projects shall be reinforced. It is planned to train about 100 land-expropriated rural households-times, with the expense of RMB 1000 yuan per person-time, totally RMB 0.10 million yuan. Relevant governmental agencies shall enhance communication and coordination with the industrial park and interior enterprises and ensure that the enterprise will give the employment priority to the affected persons under the same

207

condition, so as to ensure that the affected persons can get corresponding non- agricultural incomes and promote their income level rehabilitation.

In order to ensure the affected persons can receive sustainable livelihood rehabilitation and improve the non-agricultural employment ability of local villagers, Xinshi Town will rely on provincially famous colleges and universities to establish the long-term cooperation relationship with some vocational training agencies in Miluo City and perform the pre-post and skill training to rural labors or laid-off workers on the basis of the pattern of the unbalanced development of renewable resources and human resources of Xinshi Town and adjacent districts of Miluo City. Also, the training will be included in the peasant training system of Xinshi Town; it is predicted that there will be 750 trainees (including the two-year peasant training of the whole Xinshi Town) and the expenses will be RMB 0.15 million yuan.

Dingzi Town project will hold some listed vocational trainings to local villagers group by group; it is predicted that 17 rural households with 20 persons will participate in the training, and one member of the rural households can participate in such training at the least. The involved content covers the training on the housekeeping service, operation of the mixing machine, earth excavation, afforestation, concrete mixing, odd job workers, welders, digging machine, lifttruck, labor law, management personnel etc.

The total land acquisition area of Zhentou Town project is 44.7mu; 9 rural households are directly involved in the project and there is no need of relocation; accordingly, the livelihood influence is minor generally. Currently, following resettlement methods have been prepared for these land-lost peasants after negotiations between Liuyang Development and Reform Bureau, Bureau of Finance, People’s Government of Zhentou Town, Wansheng Garden Co., Ltd., and villagers: after completing the flower and plant E-commerce trading and scientific research and training centers, the employment priority will be given to the locally land-lost peasants; the land-lost peasants without relevant skills undertaking the farm work originally will be preferentially arranged the service jobs in the park.

About 14 rural households with 20 persons involved in Wanbao Town project will participate in the training, and one member of the rural households can participate in

208

such training at the least. The involved content covers the cooking sill, legal person of the modern logistics and special agricultural product circulation cooperatives, cashier training, training on the service staff and administrator of the logistics park, training on the catering service staff and administrator, labor law, computer, etc.

In order to ensure the affected persons of Santang Town project can receive sustainable livelihood rehabilitation, Hengnan County Project Management Office and the social security department of Hengnan County will provide the occupational skill training free of charge, including the repair, cultivation, etc. In addition to the associated employment opportunities, the owner will discuss with the industrial park of Santang Town to offer more employment opportunities. Relevant governmental agencies are recommended to enhance communication and coordination with the industrial park and interior enterprises and ensure that the enterprise will give the employment priority to the affected persons under the same condition, so as to ensure that the affected persons can get corresponding non-agricultural incomes and promote their income level rehabilitation.

Yueshan Town project will hold the vocational training up to the employment demands of the peasants’ market for local villagers; it is predicted that 20 involved rural households with about 50 persons will participate in the training, and one member of the rural households can participate in relevant training at the least. The involved content covers the cooking skill, legal person of the modern logistics and special agricultural product circulation cooperatives, cashier training, training on the service staff and administrator of the logistics park, training on the catering service staff and administrator, labor law, computer, etc.

With regard to Cangshuipu Town and Wanbao Town subjecting to impacts of the land acquisition and relocation, the frontage vacant land with convenient traffic has been selected for resettlement. During the house reconstruction, the rural households can change the ground floor to the storefront to improve their livelihood rehabilitation ability.

Among the 8 towns with rural households affected by land acquisition, Taizimiao Town is with the largest impact; in order to mitigate the impact, Taizimiao Town together with Hanshou Economic Development Zone has carried out the targeted vocational technology training and business establishment training specific to all types of work in the industrial park; especially, based on the major background of the currently good service industry trend of Taizimiao Town, the targeted training specific to the rural households (generally the older rural households) with higher land-lost rate have also been performed, so as to let the land-expropriated peasants

213

participate in the training voluntarily, encourage them to become self-employed, and provide them with the preferential policies for the business establishment, including encouraging them to set up the teahouse with the ground floor of the newly-built house or rent the storefront. In addition, according to the increasing demands of the service industry, the government of Taizimiao Town has also performed the industrial upgrading measures and implemented the supporting service measures to promote the industrial upgrading for the land-lost peasants, sucha as providing preferentials to the petty loan of the three-household joint business establishment for mainly ensuring the success rate of the three-household joint petty loan of the land-lost rural households.

Cangshuipu Town: As for the selection of the non-technical work types of relevant projects and those of the labor-intensive enterprises (such as relocation and safeguard), the priority shall be given to the land-lost peasants; the land-lost rural households shall also be encouraged to reconstruct the ground floor into the storefront when they build new houses.

7. Public Participation

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 relocatees 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, lots of efforts have been made on relocatees’ participation and consultation during the phase of policy formulation, development and implementation of resettlement plan.

In the project preparation stage for feasibility study, the PMO has many times solicited the City and County People’s Governments at all level, NPC, CPPCC, mass organizations and project-affected population in Hunan Province for suggestions and opinions on resettlement.

With a few peasants involved in the permanent land acquisition and relocation due to the project, the procedure is relatively simple. However, following procedures and modes will be adopted for encouraging public participation and consultation hereafter:

(1) Propaganda of resettlement policies by way of media

Release information on newspapers, and issue engineering impacts, compensation standard for land acquisition, overall planning and measures of new urban construction in addition to resettlement policies on relevant governmental websites.

(2) Issuance of temporary land acquisition bulletin

The main contents of the bulletin include: project briefing, coverage, resettlement policies (including compensation standard), resettlement institutions, implementation schedule, rights and obligations of relocatees, complaints and appeals as well as observation and evaluation.

215

(3) Disclosure of resettlement plan

The resettlement plan shall be submitted to the City, County and Town People’s Governments at all levels prior to the evaluation by WB for reference by relocatees and non-government organizations. The Town People’s Government shall publish bulletins on local newspaper to describe the reference point of resettlement plan prior to the project implementation.

(4) Resettlement information booklets

The main contents of the resettlement plan shall be compiled into a resettlement information booklet, which shall be handed out to relocatees prior to the project implementation. The booklet includes project introduction, impacts, compensation policies, implementation agencies and appeal channels, etc.

7.2 Public Participation Survey

In July 2011, the resettlement evaluation group conducted an overall survey on socio-economic status in the project affected areas and resettlement schemes, and WB loaning the integrated economic development demonstration town project leading group of each town or county, Hunan Province together with relevant organizations organized a general survey on public opinions and suggestions, with survey objects including 4-level beneficial groups, viz. county and city, town and township, village and relocatees level, to get full known of and collect materials, viewpoints and opinions of every level in all round. During the overall survey period, towns, villages and groups’ principals together with relocatee representatives were invited for attending the survey, making them known of necessity, engineering benefits, impacts, compensation principles and resettlement progress in relation to the project construction and finally joint negotiation of optimal resettlement scheme. The public participation schedule is shown in Table 7-1.

224

Through analysis on survey and statistical data in Table 7 ㎡3, following conclusions can be drawn:

First, as for the knowledge of the project, the survey data indicates that the affected people have knowledge of the project and compensation policies. Among the surveyed objects, most of them claimed that they had knowledge of the project but a few people were unclear or less clear of the project; for the compensation policies, more than half of the affected people got known of the compensation policies by way of other city or country compensation polices and standard downloaded from the Internet. These indicate that the propaganda and impacts obtained expected effects. However, a few peasants have been unclear or less clear of the project construction and compensation policies, so it’s recommended to strengthen propaganda by means of TV and broadcast to widely disseminate information in relation to the project, meanwhile strengthen public participation by way of handing out an information booklet to each household in the concrete project implementation, so as to make affected people get profound knowledge and full comprehension of the project.

Second, as for the attitudes of affected people to the project, most of them were in favor of the project implementation. However, for the detailed benefits and disadvantages due to the project, most of them thought that the maximum benefit was to improve the traffic, and the second benefit was to increase investment, employment opportunities and market information; the maximum disadvantage was to result in tight relation between human beings and land, which over 1/3 affected people had such viewpoint, while a few affected people thought that the major unfavorable impact was the environmental issue, which was 43.65% in Cangshuipu Town of Yiyang City and resulted from construction noise and wastes accumulation and dust in the relocation and road construction. The main suggestions for the project are focused on the two aspects, and accordingly local traffic shall be taken account of as possible.

Third, as for the relocation willingness after houses demolition, most of relocatees chose reconstruction of their houses within a unitedly planned resettlement community; a few relocatees chose other housing plots and monetary compensation for free purchase of other houses in rural areas instead of returning to their original villages and reconstruction of new houses.

225

Fourth, as for the land compensation, and usage and distribution of laborer relocation subsidies, the monetary compensation was finalized for those peasants with land after the discussion in villagers’ groups; for the jobs, most residents were more inclined for self seek for jobs instead of provision of non-agricultural jobs, while a few residents expressed their choices were based on the nature of jobs provided.

In general, the PMO paid attention to widely participation and consultation of the public and heard opinions from various social groups, governmental sectors, villages and relocatees in the formulation and implementation stages of resettlement policies and action plan. Moreover, the PMO encouraged the foregoing parties to participate in resettlement and reconstruction. When preparing the project FS design, the project unit and design unit has solicited the representatives of NPC, CPPCC, social groups, township (town) people’s governments together with relocatees for opinions and suggestions on choice of address, construction scheme, access road for mobilization, resettlement approaches as well as resettlement modes. During the preparations of resettlement, the PMO also fully collected opinions on resettlement and compensation polices and implementation from local governments at all levels and relocatee representatives. In the project implementation stage, the resettlement institutions at all levels will further encourage the public participation in rehabilitation and reconstruction.

7.4 Plan for Next Step Consultation with the Affected People

With gradual advancement of project preparations and implementation, further consultations will be conducted by the resettlement dept. and PMO with main consultation content covering:

Concrete opinions on engineering design from the affected people

Prior to the project construction, the PMO will notify project design and concrete surveys to the affected people alongside. At the beginning of the project construction, the Resettlement Dept. will launch the on-site exploration and determine the concrete location and size together with villages alongside. In case of unsatisfied items reflected by the mass, on the premise of meeting the engineering standard, the Resettlement Dept. will re-organize the design dept. for modification of the design.

226

Compensations for land-lost peasants and payment schedule and progress

Rehabilitation of affected water and electricity supply in the construction phase

Other issues concerned by the affected people

The next consultation schedules between the PMOs at all levels and the affected people are shown in Table 7-4. According to the work schedules of the Resettlement Dept., regular or irregular consultation meetings can be held in case of unsolved issues in towns and villages, and then reported to the PMO. Besides the consultations organized by the Resettlement Dept., the monitoring dept. will consult the affected people separately for other monitoring issues and collect their complaints and suggestions before submitting the monitoring information to the Resettlement Dept. at all levels.

8. Appeal Procedures

8.1 Possible Complaints and Solutions

The resettlement scheme is an overall planning from the viewpoint of the whole project affected area. In its implementation process, complaints from relocatees are easily aroused due to actual changes and operational deviations. According to the experiences of projects under construction and that have been built, resettlement complaints mainly cover as follows:

(1)Complaints about indices

Owing to survey, statistics and calculation deviations, missing physical indices and record error of physical indices may appear, accordingly affecting the benefits of relocatees. In case of such cases, the concerned individuals or subordinate village committees shall report to the resettlement department in verbal or written form, which shall arrange them into documents and submit them to the Owner and the monitoring unit. The Owner shall lead the field verification by specialists, give transaction opinions, make correct records of missing physical indices and physical indices errors, and finally make up for the compensations in line with the compensation standard.

The related designers shall cooperate with governments and PMOs at all levels prior to and during the project implementation for on-site design handover, propaganda of national resettlement policies and regulations and explanation on calculation of the compensation standard, so as to make relocatees thoroughly understand the compensation standard which is worked out in accordance with related national laws and regulations and eliminate their grievances.

(3)Complaints about funds availability

230

In the implementation process, the resettlement funds can become unavailable possibly and accordingly affect relocatees’ reconstruction of new houses and economic rehabilitation. The appearance of such cases makes the PMO staff to control funds, progress and quality, ensure their special use for resettlement, urge the financial departments to appropriate funds monthly as per actual progress and accordingly ensure smooth implementation of the project in conformity with the progress plan.

To make these problems timely and effectively resolved and guarantee smooth implementation of the project construction and land acquisition,

231

a irregular transparent and effective appeal channel shall be established besides the existing appeal channels by letters and visits.

12.1.4 Internal Monitoring Methods

As an activity to monitor the resettlement implementation in the resettlement system in a top-down way, internal monitoring requires establishing a regular, smooth and top-down resettlement implementation information management system between the implementation-related project Owner and resettlement implementation agencies of all levels to follow up and reflect the progress of resettlement implementation. Land acquisition and relocation departments of all levels report in a bottom-up manner the information on implementation progress, funds and effect and conduct disposal and analysis with the information management system.

The project resettlement department has established perfect information management system to store and manage various data of project implementation in a complete, timely and accurate manner.

The project will adopt the following methods to conduct internal monitoring based on the project implementation: 1. Standardized statistical statement system The project Owner should prepare unified statement based on the requirements of resettlement implementation. The statement is required to

258

reflect the allocation progress of resettlement funds and the implementation of land acquisition and relocation physical quantity. The statement will be prepared regularly every month and be submitted at the month end in a bottom-up. The progress will be grasped from the funds allocation. 2. Periodic or aperiodic reflections Issues in the resettlement implementation and relevant information will be communicated among all resettlement agencies in various forms and suggestions will be raised for solution. 3. Periodic liaison meeting At the beginning of every month, the resettlement department will hold the coordination meeting for land acquisition and relocation resettlement and the staff of the subproject resettlement office will attend the meeting to give a report and reflect the implementation progress and existing problems or communicate experience and study the countermeasures. 4. Inspection

The resettlement department will conduct regular and irregular inspections on the resettlement of the subordinate land acquisition and relocation agencies; carry out the filed investigation and research; handle the resettlement issues on site and verify the work progress and implementation of the resettlement policies.

5. Information communication with the external monitoring agencies

Frequent contact and information communications should be kept among the project Owner, local implementation agencies and external monitoring agencies. Discoveries and evaluation suggestions of the external monitoring agencies will be taken as the reference basis of internal monitoring agencies.

6. Investigation The project Owner will conduct the investigation combined with the questionnaire and field visit to inspect the resettlement implementation. The investigation on households will be conducted by sampling a certain amount of households or collective units and in a statement to reflect the implementation of their compensation fees and relocation fees and to inspect whether the resettlement is conducted according to the resettlement action plan strictly. Conduct overall investigation on the enterprises and institutions.

259

The resettlement department will conduct the first investigation on the affected objects after their reception of the first compensation fee, take improvement measures based on the first investigation and the results and issues reflected through complaints and continue to conduct follow-up investigation on the implementation of the improvement measures. The follow-up investigation will be conducted by irregular questionnaire to follow up the labor force resettlement, land adjustment and solutions to the complaints reflected and collect public comments and suggestions on public consultation, house selection, etc.

12.1.6 Internal Monitoring Period and Report

Internal monitoring is a continuous process in which overall monitoring activity will be conducted at least once every season and will be increased during the critical period of resettlement and relocation.

During the project preparation period, the internal monitoring agencies will combine the WB inspection to formulate regular or irregular internal working report whose format will vary according to the requirements of WB and with the project and stage. After the implementation, projects with significant impacts are required to report every week (concise), month, season (detailed), half year and year; while projects with insignificant impacts are required to report every, season (concise), half year (detailed) and year. The internal monitoring report will be delivered by resettlement implementation agencies of all levels to the People’s Government of the same level, the resettlement implementation agency of an upper level and the project Owner. The project Owner should submit an internal monitoring report to the WB every half year.

12.2 External Monitoring

According to the requirements of WB policy, the small town integrated economic demonstration town project management office (PMO) of Hunan Province utilizing WB loans will employ an independent qualified resettlement agency with rich WB project experience as the independent resettlement monitoring agency.

The external monitoring and evaluation agency will carry out regular follow-up

262

monitoring and evaluation on the resettlement implementation, progress, quality and fund and give advisory opinions. It will also perform follow-up monitoring of relocatees’ production and living standards and submit the monitoring and evaluation report to the small town integrated economic demonstration town project leading group of Hunan Province and WB.

12.2.1 Purposes of the External Monitoring

External monitoring and evaluation on the resettlement is carried out by an agency independent from the government. Its purposes are to check the implementation of the resettlement plan, monitor and evaluate the achievement of the objectives of land acquisition, resettlement and relocation, give evaluation suggestions and recommendations, take mitigation measures and in-time follow-up actions to ensure the resettlement implementation effect from an extensive and long-term point of view. External monitoring will follow up the land acquisition, relocation and resettlement activities to monitor and evaluate whether the resettlement

conforms to the national resettlement laws and regulations;

follows WB’s policies on involuntary resettlement;

makes the living standards of the affected groups exceed or return to the level prior to resettlement at least.

12.2.2 Duties of the External Monitoring Agency

The external monitoring agency will undertake the following activities:

Conduct basic living standard investigation and know about basic production and living situations of the affected people before resettlement;

Carry out follow-up monitoring on the resettlement implementation, collect comments and complaints of the affected people, report them to the Resettlement Department of Foreign Funds Management Office and the Local Resettlement Office and submit the monitoring report to the small

263

town integrated economic demonstration town project resettlement department of Hunan Province utilizing WB loans and WB;

Perform a follow-up investigation on the changes of the production and living standards of the affected people and evaluate the resettlement activities and measures;

Give constructive suggestions to the resettlement department and the resettlement office to ensure a successful resettlement development and a quick recovery in the production and living standards of the affected people based on the investigation and the research and a full consultation with the affected people.

12.2.3 Methods and Steps of the External Monitoring

The external monitoring agency will carry out the monitoring on the resettlement with the following methods:

(1) Establish a database of affected people’s situations and conduct frequent door-to-door interviews with them based on the resettlement investigation. It will make full use of the social and economic investigation data and the resettlement information management system set by the PMO so as to carry out dynamic management of basic situations of the relocated households and keep informed of the resettlement situation at any time. According to the information showed by the database, it will visit the affected households to have face-to-face interviews with them, know about the resettlement progress, listen to their complaints, dissatisfactions and suggestions, and publicize relevant national policies, WB requirements and engineering construction information. The door-to-door interview will be carried out by the external monitoring agency independently without any accompaniment of staffs in the local resettlement agency and the local administrative management department after getting the list and relevant information of the affected people from the primary agency. The interviewers are relatively fixed, i.e. one interviewer should visit an affected area for as many times as possible so that a relation of mutual trust between the interviewer and the affected people can be

264

established easily to facilitate the development of the work. (2) Organize irregular meetings in the concentrated areas of the affected people. The external monitoring agency will hold meetings in such areas to listen to their opinions about important issues on the project impacts. It can invite staffs in the primary resettlement agency to attend these formal/informal meetings or not, which depends on specific situations. (3) Carry out filed observation. Personnel in the external monitoring agency will pay regular or irregular visits to the resettlement sites to have field observation of resettlement. (4) Conduct case survey. For possible special individual case during resettlement, the external monitoring agency will have a key analysis of the root, find out solutions and give advisory opinions. (5) Make a questionnaire. The external monitoring agency will conduct a sample investigation about the recovery of relocatees’ production and life and their comments about resettlement , have an in-time analysis of the result and solve the existed problems so as to provide guidance on resettlement in the next year.

12.2.4 Main Content of the External Monitoring

(1)Monitoring on the Resettlement of Relocated Households

The project involves simultaneous demolition of urban and rural houses. The relocation to the affected people will be a monitoring focus for the external monitoring agency. For such affected people, the external monitoring agency will focus major monitoring indices on:

Whether the traffic from the new resettlement site to the hospital and the school is convenient;

(2) Monitoring on the production resettlement of relocatees

According to affected land and operation characteristics, the external monitoring agency will conduct following monitoring on economic rehabilitation of relocatees:

Whether various compensation standards for land acquisition are formulated in line with relevant national laws and regulations;

Whether the appropriation procedures of land compensation can ensure resettlement funds paid to the affected villages and villager groups;

Whether the quantity of land expropriated, and compensation standards and amounts have been disclosed in the whole village and in which type they are disclosed;

Implementation of endowment insurance;

Employment of land lost peasants and vulnerable groups;

(3) Monitoring on the operation of the resettlement agency

A capable, professional and high-effective resettlement agency is the reliable guarantee for ensuring the successful implementation of the project resettlement. The monitoring on the operation of the resettlement agency is also included in the external monitoring of the external monitoring agency. The monitoring on the resettlement agency will mainly be carried out by means of field visit on the resettlement agency, and examination for its work data and records. The main content is as follows:

If the resettlement agencies at all levels are qualified with necessary conditions;

If the personnel quality of the resettlement agency can satisfy relevant requirements;

If the training for personnel of the resettlement agency is carried out;

If the unpublished data of the resettlement agency are well managed.

(4) Monitoring on the resettlement of the vulnerable groups

The vulnerable groups are not only the special groups in need of special care of the resettlement agency, but also the objects with the special attention of the external monitoring agency in the external monitoring process. The external monitoring agency will conduct follow-up monitoring on the vulnerable groups among the affected people in this project through door-to-door interview, questionnaire, case study, etc. with the main indicators as follows:

What special preferential policies the vulnerable groups can enjoy during resettlement;

267

(5) Survey on the benchmark living standard of the affected people

Prior to the formal implementation of resettlement, the external monitoring agency will take structural questionnaire mode by sampling affected families involved in socioeconomic surveys in categories to obtain benchmark data in relation to the project resettlement. In the project, the sample ratio for living standard benchmark survey is set at 20%.

The benchmark survey on living standard of the affected families mainly includes number of family member, production and operation conditions, housing area, annual remuneration, employment structure, annual expenditures, traffic conditions, water and electricity supply conditions, dwelling environment, subjective assessment on production and livelihood status.

(6) Monitoring and evaluation on the resettlement effects The external monitoring agency will carry out continuous follow-up monitoring on the resettlement implementation effect after formal resettlement implementation. It will perform a follow-up investigation for the affected families 6 months after

268

their resettlement. Similar to the benchmark living standard investigation, the follow-up investigation will be carried out through sampling by means of structured questionnaire to reflect impacts on the life and the production of the people investigated and to evaluate the resettlement effect. In principle, the selection of the follow-up investigation sample will be the same as that of the benchmark living standard investigation and should be mainly aimed at the follow-up of the persons in the benchmark living standard investigation. Databases of all investigation samples should be established as the sampling basis for the follow-up investigations. People who can’t be involved in the follow-up investigation due to various factors should be investigated according to the early social and economic investigation databases and replaced by the affected families of the same kind in the same community. The content of the follow-up investigation should be properly related to that of the basic living standard investigation, so as to compare and analyze the changes of the life and the production of the affected families before and after resettlement. Their subjective comments on resettlement should be considered as references for the evaluation of the resettlement effect.

12.2.5 Reporting System of the External Monitoring

The external monitoring agency compiles the external monitoring report based on the data observed and surveyed, in order to (I) reflect the resettlement progress and existing problems in a subjective way to WB and the project Owner, and (II) also make assessment on socioeconomic effects of resettlement, put forth constructive opinions and suggestions, and improve and consummate resettlement.

The period of the external monitoring agency reporting to WB and the project Owner is as follows:

As for the resettlement of the first half year each year, submit a medium-term monitoring report to WB and the project Owner;

Submit a yearly monitoring report to WB and the project Owner each year;

269

Submit a comprehensive resettlement assessment report half a year after all the resettlement has been completed.

The routine monitoring report should at least include: (1) monitoring objects of the report (2) the resettlement progress (3) main discoveries of the monitoring agency during monitoring (4) main problems existed (5) basic evaluation suggestions and recommendations of the external monitoring. The report of the external monitoring agency should be submitted to PMO and the WB experts in resettlement at the same time in Chinese version.
