Chapter I Introduction

ADB financed Ningxia Road Development Project includes 180km Tongxin-Yanchuanzi Expressway (TYE) and 444km local roads. It is the first ADB financed expressway project in Ningxia. TYE is the main route of the expressway, as well as one part of national west corridor Yinchuan-Xian-Wuhan-Fuzhou. Some part of Yinfu Expressway will also connect the national trunk roads of Qingdao to Hongqilapu and Shanghai to Wuwei. TYE is also an important component of Ningxia main highways. After completion of TYE, it will together with GZ25 (Ningxia section) form the north-south road network in Ningxia, as well as improve the road network of Ningxia and Guyuan.

The counties and districts along the route include Haiyuan County of Zhongwei Municipality, Yuanzhou District and Jingyuan County of Guyuan. Local roads of the project pass through Haiyuan County, Yuanzhou District, Jingyuan County (the main route also pass through the three counties/district), Tongxin County of Wuzhong municipality, as well as Xiji County, Pengyang County, Longde County of Guyuan Municipality. Thus the project expressway covers 7 counties/district which are in the poorer region. After completion of the project, the backward traffic condition will be improved, and the social economic development will be promoted.

The Resettlement Plan (RP) of the project is completed on November of 2002. The RP mentioned that the resettlement implementation was planned to be commenced in June 2003, and the civil work construction was estimated to start in October 2003. According to the real situation of the Project, the Expressway was constructed in 3 sections. Since Ningxia Government planned to build an important reservoir for the southern part of Ningxia within the original alignment of the Expressway Section III, 12.7km road section within this Section should be realigned. This is the first case of main design variation for road project in Ningxia after MOT issued the Management Method of Highway Engineering Design Variation. Compared with the original design, the length of the realignment is shortened about 2kms and work cost is decreased about RMB0.17 billion, the total land acquisition is decreased nearly 10%, the affected house quantities is decreased 42%, and the affected relocated households is decreased 41%.

Due to the above changes, the resettlement and civil work construction period for 3 road sections are presented in the following table:

Further, the report was only filed by ADB. Therefore it is suggested that regarding to the comparison between resettlement implementation and RP, please refer to the RP and the Supplementary RP which was approved by ADB separately on Nov. 2002 and Feb. 2009.

Capter II Project Impacts

The total land acquisition for the Project was 16,223 mu, 9.76% more than 14,781 mu in the RP. The main reason for this increase was that RP estimates were approximate based on the preliminary design whereas the actual land acquisition was according to the detailed design. Also there are few amount of land acquisition and corresponding compensation out of red line, for restoring affected agricultural and traffic facilities. The details for land acquisition of the project are shown in table 2.1:

Table 2.1 Comparison between Planned & Actual Land Acquisition Planned Actual Variation Irrigated Dry Irrigated Others Total Dry land Total land land land Unit mu mu mu mu mu mu mu Haiyuan 2335.09 738.15 191.88 3265.12 2583.57 1275.18 3858.75 18.18% County Yuanzhou 3924.80 2289.77 1374.22 7588.79 3810.60 4524.1 5 8334.75 9.83% District Jingyuan 807.75 3118.88 3926.63 4029.67 4029.67 2.62% County Total 6259.89 3835.67 4684.98 14780.54 6394.17 9828.99 16223.16 9.76% Note: There are two kind of data existed in the RP. One data (i.e. total land acqusition 14780.54mu) is based on the sum of each village. The other one data (i.e. total land acqusition 15564mu) is calculated according to the project overall condition, including the linking road and restoring cannel areas, which are not include in the caculation of each village. Because the total actual land acquisition was caculated based on the sum of each village, the acutal land acquisition quantities have been

comparing with the sum of each village in RP (i.e. 14780.54mu) from the very beginning of the resettlement implemenation in order to keep the comparability of data.

The households and persons affected by land acquisition increased largely from planned 2,600 households and 12,567 persons into actual 9,480 households and 52,632 persons, which is increased separately by 264.62% and 318.81%. This is because those figures in the RP were estimated based on the assumption that on average each affected household would lose one third of their farmland holding. However the actual figures was calculated based on the actual land acquisition. The details of households and persons affected by land acquisition are presented in the following table 2.2:

The total house demolition for the Project was 81,149 square meters, 8.48% less than 88,664 square meters in the RP. The main reason for this decrease was that during detailed design, the alignment was optimized to avoid some large-scale of house demolition in Yuanzhou District. The details for house demolition are shown in the following table 2.3:

The households and persons affected by house demolition increased from planned 451 households and 2,208 persons into actual 702 households and 3,714 persons, which are

increased separately by 55.65% and 68.21%. The reasons that those affected households increased largely while the demolished houses decreased a little were: lots of the relocated families set up separate households when they were relocated. The details for households and persons affected by house demolition are shown in table 2.4:

Chapter III Resettlement Policy and Compensation Standards

The land acquisition and resettlement of the Project was implemented according to the following laws and regulations, which were the same as those mentioned in the RP.

(i) The Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China (Promulgated by Order No.8 of President of the Peoples’ Republic of China on August 29, 1998, and effective as of January 1, 1999);

(ii) Implementation Regulations for Land Administration Law of the Peoples Republic of China (Promulgated by Order No.256 of the State Council of the Peoples Republic of China on December 27, 1998, and effective as of January 1, 1999);

(iii) Land Administration Regulation for Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (Promulgated on November 17 2001);

(iv) Decree on Compensation Rates for Land Acquisition and Resettlement for Western Corridor – Yinchuan to Wuhan Expressway (Ningxia Section), Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Government, no. 192, 2001;

(v) Unvoluntary Resettlement Policty and other social security policies of ADB.

The actual compensation rates for irrigated land and dry land are the same as those in the RP. The actual compensation rates for non-cultivated land were referred to the neighboring cultivated land, i.e. if the land closed to irrigated land, it was paid at the rate for irrigated land, and if closing to dry land, rate for dry land was applied. The actual annual compensation rates for temporary land occupation were 200-400 CNY/mu. The actual compensation rates for brick concrete and brick timber houses were the same as those in the RP. And the actual compensation rates for brick-tile-wood and timber tile houses were broken down to reflect real situation of the local areas. In general, there is no difference between the actual compensation and the planned ones for land and houses. For details of the compensation rates for the Project, please refer to the following table:

Table 3.1: Compensation rates of the main affected categories for the Project main affected categories unit Planned Actual Irrigated land acquisition CNY/mu 6000 6000 dry land acquisition CNY/mu 2500 2500 temporary land occupation CNY/mu per year 100-333* 200-400 brick concrete houses CNY/sq.m 300 300 brick timber houses CNY/sq.m 220 220 Brick-earth-wood houses CNY/sq.m 150 140-180 Timber tile houses CNY/sq.m 120 90-120 *: Compensation rates of temporary land occupation were calculated according to 3 years, and here they were converted into annual figures.

Regarding to the affected lands out of red line, the compensation standard is as follows: irrigated lands RMB3500/mu, dry land RMB1800/mu, which are lower than that in RP but reasonable because these lands are not actually acquired and the land ownership rights are not changed, it still owned by village community. However these affected lands are few in quantities.

Following the RP for the realigned section, the compensation standards for land were the same as the above-mentioned for the whole Expressway. For houses, in consideration of the continuity, the direct compensation standards were still the same as those for the whole Expressway. However, some special allowances at CNY 4,000 per household were also paid to those affected households. The relocated households were also provided some free labor for their house reconstruction.

Chapter IV Resettlement Organizations

Ningxia Communications Department (NCD), the Executing Agency for the Project, established the Ningxia Yin-Wu Expressway Construction Headquarter (NYECH) in 2001 to be responsible for the project preparation and construction. In April 2006, the Ningxia Highway Construction Administration Bureau (NHCAB) was setup by combining all the expressway construction headquarters. Under NHCAB, the Construction Coordination Department is responsible for the resettlement implementation and coordination. In the 2 municipalities and 3 counties, which the Expressway passes through, the resettlement institutions were established to take charge of the resettlement within their jurisdiction. In Haiyuan County and Yuanzhou District, the land acquisition for the main line was implemented mainly by county/district land and resources bureaus while the land acquisition out of the red line and house relocation was implemented mainly by county/district communications bureaus; In Jingyuan County, all the land acquisition and house relocation was implemented mainly by county land and resources bureau.

Since the resettlement implementation, some administrational regions are changed in the affected area. For example, Haiyuan County, which is originally governed by Guyuan Municipality, is now administered by Zhongwei Municipality; the original Guyuan County is renamed Yuanzhou District; Dawan and Shizi township, which is orginally governed by Yuanzhou District, is now administered by Jingyuan County; Qiying and Heicheng township, which are originally governed by Yuanzhou District, are now administered by Haiyuan County; Other places also occurred similar incidents. The resettlement work is charged by new administrative government departments based on these changes.

Chapter V Resettlement Implementation

Time for measurement of land to be acquired and survey of buildings and facilities on the land, contract signed, as well as the compensation are shown in the following table. From the table, it is shown that except section III , which is not commenced construction due to variation and with

very few affected volume in realigned section, resettlement work in Section I & Section II of the project was started 4 months before civil work construction.

Table 5.1 Schedule of Measurement Commencement and Compensation on Each Section of the Project Section Measure Commencement Compensation Time Commencement Time Section I April 2003 August 2003 Section II October 2004 March 2005 Original Section III October 2005 May 2006 Realigned Section of June 2009 August 2009 Section III

In order to develop the collective economic, most of the land acqusition compensation (i.e. CNY 4000 from 6000 per mu for irrigated land, CNY 2000 from 2500 per mu for dry land) was paid directly to the farmers in cash. The dry lands are broken down in Jingyuan. For dry land in plain area, CNY 2000 from 2500 per mu was paid directly to the farmers in cash; For dry land in mountain area, CNY 1800 from 2500 per mu was paid directly to the farmers. For the remaining fund, the administrative village apply for the project of devloping collective economic, then the township evaluate the project, and the district/counties review, provide the cost, supervise and manage it to develop production.

Each District/County has been paying much attention to the development of production using partial land acquisition fund. The work is charged directly by deputy district chief or deputy county leader, and specified by promulgating government documents. For example, Jingyuan County issued a notice No. [2005]46 in the name of Jingyuan Government “ Notice of Partial Land Acquisition Fee of Guyuan-Shizi Section of Yinwu Expressway Utilized on the Public Welfare”. It is required that each township should responsible for the fund utilized on developing public welfare, such as developing traffic, communications, water conservancy, power supply, drinking water, and farmland reclaimation. Impropriation and embezzlement of the fund are not allowed. Each administrative village should select the project of less investment, quick effect, accessible of improving villager’s production and living condition, and then apply for the approval of implementation by the township.

The implementation scheme of using partial land acquistion fund to develop production is as follows: each administrative village committee provides feasible programs, which can develope production and increse farmer’s income, based on the actual social economic circumstance in each village & sum of land compensation fee for developing collective economic. The programs include: farmland reclaimation, planting & breeding aquatics, improving infrastructure such as irrigation, power and road, etc. The village committee submit the application of programs to the township governments for approval. Usually the programs are approved through holding government work conference. Then the resettlement implementation institutions are in charge of the programs implementation. Those programs, after being approved by the township governments, were usually finished within 2 years after land acquisition. However, such

programs in the realigned section haven’t started yet since land acquisition there has just commenced. Since most of the land acquisition compensation was paid directly to the farmers in cash, no surplus farmland was readjusted.

There were 2 ways for the house relocation, in the villages where only a few households were affected. They were relocated nearby. The new housing plot closing to their original houses was allocated by the villages and the infrastructure for the housing plot was usually completed by the Expressway constructors through the coordination from the Project and the assistance from the county resettlement agencies. If large amount of households in one village were affected, they were usually relocated in the centralized residential areas within the same villages. The infrastructure work for the centralized residential areas was usually conducted by the county resettlement agencies. The position of the housing plot for each household in the centralized residential areas was decided by drawing lots. All the new houses were usually built by the relocated households themselves. So far all the households who wish to build new houses have built the houses and moved in. Other households chose to live in their surplus houses, buy old houses from their neighbors at a cheap price, or move into cities or towns.

It is not necessary for relocating in a same place due to small demolition with only 10 households affected. The new house lots of the 10 households are allocated near their original living places, and they will build the new house by themselves. Although each household will receive house built allowance, the work of “three access one level” for the new houses will be done freely by the construction units coordinated by the project. Up to now, nearly half of households have built their new houses. In the realigned section, Maxipo Primary School, which is acquired to demolish, is an old building that is not used and abandoned by the school. The new Maxipo Primary School was built in the beginning of Year 2008. All students had entered the new primary school in the autumn of 2008. The new school is built using donation of RMB0.25 million yuan by Xiamen Xinheda Electronic Limited Company. The new village committee building, which is invested by upper level government, was built in 2008. Therefore demolishing these units within the realignment have not affected their teaching and operating, on the contrary, they received additional compensation.

Regarding to the compensation of affected infrastructure facililities, the contracts were signed with the owners of facilities or managament units. And the restoration and relocation of facilities were implemented in accrodance with the contract. With the completion of the Section I & Section II, all affected infrastructure facilities, including roads, irrigation facilities, public facilities, power and communication pipe lines, have been compensated, restored or rebuilt.

As to the poor and disabled households along the TYE, additional RMB500-5000 yuan for compensation were provided to each household according to their poverty condition after site investigation and review. Besides, necessary house built assistance were also provided when they built their houses, as well as additional allowance were provided by co-ordinating the civil administration departments. According to the statistic, there are 11 poor and disabled households received additional allowance RMB 25800 yuan in Section I and II. The details are shown in the following table.

Table 5.2 Additional Allowances of Poor & Disabled Households in Section I & II District/ Section Poor & Disabled Households Allowance County unit household yuan Section I Haiyuan 2 8000 Yuanzhou 2 8000

Section II Yuanzhou 2 4000 Jingyuan 5 5800 Total 11 25800

Chapter VI Resettlement Cost & Payment

Based on the total amount of all the contracts for Sections I, II and III between the Project and the affected parties, plus the separate taxes, monitoring fees, and administration fees, the actual total cost of land acquisition, house relocation, and resettlement was CNY 192.2 million, 10.3% higher than that in RP by CNY 174.2 million. The reason that the cost for permanent land acquisition decreased while the areas of permanent land acquisition increased was: the actual acquired irrigated, the compensation standard for which was relatively higher, decreased compared with that in the RP. The reason for the house compensation cost decrease was mainly due to the less amount of house actually demolished compared with that in the RP. The large decrease of the taxes was due to the government favorable policy to the Project. The main reasons for the total resettlement increase by 10% were: 1) The compensation for land attachments and infrastructure increased; 2) In realigned section, the compensation fees for all the affected categories according to the original alignment have been paid to the farmers in 2006 but the Project cannot withdraw those fees while the alignment changed. The planned resettlement budget and actual payments are compared in Table 6.1.

Table 6.1: Comparison of resettlement cost between RP and resettlement as implemented Item RP Actual Difference Change Unit CNY CNY CNY % Permanent land acquisition 65,452,590 62,937,496 -2,515,094 -3.84% Compensations for houses 14,490,530 13,882,125 -608,405 -4.20% Monitoring and evaluation 1,123,527 650,000 -473,527 -42.15% Administration 3,370,582 2,970,000 -400,582 -11.88% Taxes 45,000,000 8,437,000 -36,563,000 -81.25% Temporary land Occupation 5,067,600 Compensations for auxiliaries 3,375,440 Relocation assistance and allowance 242,000 Compensation for Cut Down Trees 7,866,865 103,279,883 58,511,479 130.70% Compensation for Affected Facilities 15,857,700 Assistance for vulnerable groups 1,123,527 Contingency 11,235,272 Total Cost 174,205,634 192,156,505 * 17,950,871 10.30%

After the compensation contracts were signed between the Project and the affected collective organizations, households, or other property owners. The compensation amounts according to the contracts were paid directly to those affected collective organizations, households, or other property owners through bankbooks. Usually 60-80 % of the house compensation was paid when the contracts were signed, and the rest was paid when the old houses were ready to be demolished. For other affected categories, the compensation was provided in a one-time payment when the contracts were signed. After getting the bankbooks, the affected households can draw money from the bank without any limitation.

Chapter VII Public Participation

Since the commencement of resettlement, project Client and each level resettlement institutions have been negotiating with the affected people, and solving their problems whenever they raised reasonable recommendation and requirement. For example, the affected households out of red line required to be relocated, as well as the affected villagers required to compensate for construction vibration and dust. These issues have been solved based on negotiating with related people and soliciting professional comments. As for the selection of house lots, the related departments provided the primary scheme for house lot location, then the comments of the households whose houses would be demolished were collected. Finally the new house lot locations were determined based on the agreement of both sides. As far as the restoration or rebuilt of the infrastructure facilities, desires of the affected peope were mostly considered.

Since the resettlement commence, each district and county provides the Resettlement Information Manual to the administration villages, instead of providing the manuals to each household as mentioned in the RP. The reason is that most affected persons are only primary school graduates or even illiterates. So in order to promulgate the information, various kind of propaganda ways are adopted, such as holding villagers’ representative meeting, seminars, and telling them by visiting the affected households, etc.

Chpater VIII Social Economic Survey of the Affected People

The independent monitoring organization (IMO) conducted the social economic sample survey to the affected persons in June 2005. The survey includes family status, resettlement circumstances, possession of family properties which can embody the living quality of the affected persons, living condition, income and expenditure, etc.

The standard for sample survey are: (1) villages with higher resettlement proportion and representative character; (2) uniform distribution along the route; (3) farmers with higher, midium and lower income distributed uniformly.

In June 2005, 285 households in 15 villages were selected by the independent monitoring organization (IMO) as samples for interviews. The sampling rate was about 11% as totally about 2600 households were estimated to be affected according to RP.

Table 8.1 Distribution of Samples for Interviews in June 2005 Administration Households District/County Township Village Surveyed Haiyuan Gaoai Lianhe 19 Gaowan 16 Liwang Tuanzhuang 13 Hanfu 12 Yuanzhou Qiying Beizui 22 Qiying 21 Heicheng Heicheng 21 Sanying Gangou 18

In June 2009, a complete follow-up survey was conducted by IMO for the sampling households in Sections I and II. 215 households which were interviewed in 2005 were revisited. Sampling households distribution of this survey is shown in the following table:

Table 8.2 Sampling Household Distribution in June 2009 Administrative Sampling District/county Township village households Haiyuan Gaoai Lianhe 19 Gaowan 16 Liwang Tuanzhuang 13 Hanfu 12 Yuanzhou Qiying Beizui 20 Qiying 21 Sanying Gangou 18 Pengpu Ligou 18 Samen 21 Zhonghe Gaopo 17 Kaicheng Xiaqingshi 20 Liupanshan Jingyuan Shizi 20 Mountain Total 215

In order to have comparability between the data in 2009 and 2005, 215 revisited households are to be compared and analyzed.

The survey indicates that the interviewed household size in average is dropped from 5.14 persons in 2009 to 5.16 persons in 2005. Households with 4-6 persons are in higher proportion (56.5%). Households with few or many people are less.

Based on the survey, quantities for irrigated land & dry land per capita of the sampling households and total cultivated land per capita are dropped by 29.45%, 15.23%, 21.47% separately. The reason of decreasing is because of land acquisition of TYE, considering no other land acquired by other project.

The following table indicates various income sources of the interviewed households, and it also shows various economic activities along the route. It can be seen that the wage income and work for others income of the affected persons are increased quickly within the 4 years. With the improvement of traffic facilities, villagers will have much more opportunities to work outside. Therefore the wage income will account for more and more proportion in their total income. Planting income account for less proportion in their income, which can indicate that villagers dependent less and less on land. Land acquisition by the project have limited impact to their income. The income of affected households are increased from RMB2392 yuan in 2004 to RMB3821 yuan in 2008, which grows 59.73%.

Chapter X Recommendations on the Next Step Work

Based on the site survey result, recommendations are provided as follows for the next step work: 1. Completing the resettlement data bank of Section III. Up to now, the data bank for Section I & II have been completed. The data bank for realigned section of Section III has been set up when the construction commenced, only the data of section excluding from the realignment has not input into the computer. Otherwise the integrated data bank will be set up. As the data that are not input in the computer is little, the work will be completed before the Spring Festival of 2010. Besides, if possible the data of temporary occupied lands will also be collected to perfect the related data of each key affected amount within the resettlement data bank. The external monitoring unit will continue to provide the necessary help. 2. Large-scaled land acquisition will be completed soon. According to the project implementation convention, partial funds attained from land acquisition are to be used for collective production. The work should be started as soon as possible in accordance with the requirement of related documents of the Jingyuan County Government, so that the affected collective will be benefited early.
