8 About the Preparation

World Bank Loaned Lushan Earthquake Reconstruction and Risk Reduction Project (Intermediate Adjustment) ("the project" for short) has 9 components in Yucheng District, Yingjing County, Tianquan County, and Lushan County in Ya'an City. Conducting resettlement impact surveys, preparing resettlement action plans, and carrying out due diligence on resettlement for each component during project preparation are important for the smooth implementation of the project, especially for the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of the persons affected by land requisition and demolition within the scope of the project.The World Bank OP4.12 “Involuntary Resettlement” requires that the resettlement impact of the project should be minimized and all affected persons should be assisted through cash compensation and other forms in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them.

During project preparation, the local government, the local bureau of housing and urban-rural development, and the design institute (i.e. China Railway Eryuan Engineering Group Co., Ltd.) have repeatedly optimized the design of the project to minimize its adverse impacts on local residents. According to the resettlement impact surveys for all components, some components of the project in Yucheng District, Yingjing County, Lushan County and Tianquan County use state-owned construction land or state-owned stock land. No requisition of additional collective land or relocation of additional residents is required. Moreover, there are no directly affected persons. Therefore, there is no need to prepare any resettlement action plan for these components.

In order to ensure that the resettlement implementation procedures for all the above-mentioned components using state-owned construction land or state-owned land reserves comply with the resettlement-related laws and regulations and compensation and resettlement policies of China, Sichuan Province and Ya'an City as well as the World Bank's Safeguard guarantee policy, to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of displaced persons are protected, and to ensure that no new problems will arise from land requisition and demolition during project construction, the project employer commissions Sichuan Fontal Strategic Consulting Co., Ltd. to carry out due diligence on the resettlement caused by land requisition and demolition involved in the project land use; conduct detailed resettlement impact surveys for all components that do not require the requisition of additional collective land and the demolition of additional houses; inspect the work process, implementation progress, and fund management with regard to land requisition, house demolition, and resettlement implementation, as well as resettlement effect; evaluate the displaced persons' production and living standards along with their satisfaction therewith; and investigate whether there are any remaining problems in the process of land requisition and whether the process of land requisition and demolition conforms to China's laws and World Bank policies.

According to the resettlement impact surveys for all components, as construction involved in two components in Tianquan County requires the requisition of additional rural collective lands and the demolition of houses on these lands, a separate resettlement action plan (RAP) should be prepared for these components of the project. The Resettlement Action Plan was prepared by the Housing and Urban-Rural Planning Bureau of Tianquan County in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of the People's Republic of China and Sichuan Province as well as the World Bank's Safeguard policy (OP4.12/BP4.12)- "Involuntary Resettlement".

9 This report includes the RAPs for some components in Tianquan County for which land requisition and demolition have not been implemented; and resettlement due diligence (Annex A) for components in Yucheng District, Yingjing County, Lushan County, and Tianquan County (part) for which land requisition is completed.

1 Survey Objectives, Contents and Evaluation methods

1.1 Survey Objectives

In order to ensure that the resettlement implementation procedures for all the components that require additional land requisition and demolition and the utilization of state-owned construction land/state-owned stock land comply with the Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China, the resettlement-related laws and regulations and compensation and resettlement policies of Sichuan Province and Ya'an City, and the World Bank's Safeguard policy, a large number of detailed surveys on the required additional land requisition and demolition will be conducted to ensure that proper livelihood and development assistance is provided to the persons affected by the required additional land requisition and demolition and their living standards are restored to levels no lower than those prior to the beginning of project implementation. Detailed resettlement impact surveys for all the components that do not require the requisition of additional land and the demolition of additional houses will be conducted to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of the affected persons are protected and that no new problems will arise from land requisition and demolition after construction begins. The work process, implementation progress, and fund management with regard to land requisition, house demolition, and resettlement implementation, as well as resettlement effect will be inspected; the displaced persons' production and living standards along with their satisfaction therewith will be evaluated; and whether there are any remaining problems in the process of land requisition and whether the process of land requisition and demolition conform to China's laws will be investigated, so that a comprehensive review of land requisition, house demolition and resettlement for relevant components can be conducted.

1.2 Survey Methods The resettlement survey team conducts surveys through on-site survey and literature survey. The specific survey methods include field survey, literature review, questionnaire survey, discussion with relevant organizations, and in-depth interview. For the components for which land requisition and demolition have been completed, the land requisition and demolition activities were concentrated in the period from 2014 to 2018, so the entire process of land requisition and demolition can only be reviewed in the light of available information on land requisition and demolition, through household surveys and interviews with relevant agencies and departments as well as key insiders. Data from some sources can complement, explain and verify data from other sources, so relevant workers can comprehensively understand and evaluate the situation of land requisition, house demolition and resettlement. For the required additional land requisition and house demolition, many detailed resettlement effect surveys will be conducted, such as socio-economic survey, resettlement impact survey, and interviews with relevant organizations and the affected persons, to fully understand the social and economic situation of the areas affected by the project, the impact of land requisition and demolition, the policies and regulations on land requisition and demolition, compensation standards, land requisition and demolition and resettlement measures, capital budget, and grievance mechanism. Specific survey methods include: Literature review

 Looking up all relevant information and documents related to demolition and resettlement for the project, including but not limited to project land requisition announcements, written approvals, land requisition and demolition agreements, payment vouchers, and social insurance purchase certificates; paying special attention to existing information, public data, complaints and grievances, and solutions and other documented information  Collecting the announcements, disclosed information and public consultation activities related to house demolition and resettlement that are publicly released by the media and on the Internet  Checking the records of land requisition and demolition to see whether compensation and resettlement comply with demolition announcements, the relevant domestic and local laws and regulations, and the standards of the World Bank OP4.12;  Checking grievance records and the minutes of relevant department meetings to understand the complaint and grievance of the affected persons and the corresponding solutions Questionnaire survey The questionnaire survey includes: (1) the basic situation of the affected persons and families; (2) the original cultivated land area, living conditions and environment of the affected persons; (3) the methods and results of resettlement of the persons affected by land requisition and house demolition; (4) whether the affected persons are satisfied with the standards, processes and results of land requisition, demolition and resettlement; (4) whether they know about the project information disclosure and whether they participate in the public activities related to the project; (5) whether there are complaints and grievances in the process of demolition and resettlement and how the complaints and grievances are redressed; (4) whether there is any other remaining problem. Discussions with relevant organizations Through discussions with the land and resources bureaus/offices, finance bureaus, civil affairs bureaus, and social security bureaus of relevant districts/counties and towns/sub-districts, information about the progress of land requisition and demolition, main remaining problems, information disclosure and grievances, and possible social impacts and solutions will be obtained. In-depth interviews Through in-depth interviews with representative individuals/households, information about the impact of land requisition and demolition on the local people, the production and living conditions of the affected persons, the positive and negative impacts and potential risks caused by the project to the local people, and the affected persons' attitudes, suggestions and expectations for demolition will be obtained. Interviews also allow for the participation of vulnerable groups and women. 1.3 Survey Contents The resettlement survey team conducts surveys on the following areas: ⚫ Project background (project components and investment), the socio-economic development of the areas affected by the project, and the effect of the project on

the affected areas; ⚫ Physical quantity of land requisition and demolition, including scope, quantity and type; ⚫ Approval process, required documents and expected completion time for land requisition and demolition; ⚫ Implementation and approval of the completed land requisition and demolition activities; ⚫ Compensation, resettlement and social security policy documents used for land requisition and demolition; ⚫ Resettlement methods and compensation and resettlement standards actually used for land requisition and demolition; ⚫ The amount and details of the funds appropriated for land requisition and demolition, and the procedures for the appropriation of funds; ⚫ Restoration of the infrastructure demolished on the requisitioned land; ⚫ Employment training and employment promotion measures; ⚫ Information disclosure policies and implementation, public consultation, and complaints and grievances; ⚫ Basic information about the project implementing agencies (departments, the number of employees, responsibilities, and operational efficiency) and basic information about the land requisition implementation agencies (departments, the number of employees, responsibilities, and operational efficiency); ⚫ Remaining problems in the implementation of and compensation for land requisition and demolition as well as in relevant restoration; For the two components in Tianquan County that involve additional land acquisition and demolition, a resettlement action plan should be prepared in accordance with the World Bank's Involuntary Resettlement Policy OP4.12. Of the 12 components in 4 counties and districts that are included in the due diligence, only 2 in the Yucheng District involve the house demolition/land requisition that started after December 2016. Therefore, for land requisition and demolition to be completed before December 1st of 2016, the resettlement implementation procedures should comply with the Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China, the resettlement-related laws and regulations and compensation and resettlement policies of Sichuan Province and Ya'an City, and the World Bank's Safeguard policy. Moreover, relevant workers should ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of displaced persons are protected, and whether there is any remaining problem should be investigated. Therefore, land requisition announcements, land requisition approvals, land requisition agreements, fund payment vouchers, demolition agreements, resettlement progress, and the problems to be resolved are reviewed.In the final chapter of this report, supporting information for the land requisition involved these components is attached. For land requisition and demolition implemented after December 1st of 2016, in addition to focusing on the land requisition process and resettlement, relevant workers

also focused on the income restoration and livelihood development of the displaced persons, compared differences in compensation standards and resettlement principles with the World Bank's Safeguard policy, and evaluated whether the displaced persons can be properly resettled and achieve guaranteed livelihood development. As the feasibility study of the project is carried out in parallel with the preparation of the resettlement action plan, the land requisition and demolition data involved in the report is subject to the project scope and the red line scope in the feasibility study report dated on January 10th of 2020. Both the quantity and scope of impacted physical items involved in the resettlement action plan come from on-site surveys jointly carried out by the due diligence team, the local resettlement implementation agencies, and the affected village groups. The government documents, land type certificates, land requisition and demolition agreements, and land requisition and demolition data in the resettlement due diligence report come from local land requisition and demolition implementation organizations and relevant government departments.This report is prepared based on the above raw data. Although the due diligence team has tried its best to verify the authenticity and integrity of the collected raw data, it is not responsible for any information error and omission in the raw data.

Figure 2-5 Project location in Shiyang Town in Tianquan County 2.3 Utilization of Land in the Project Area According to the on-site survey of the 9 components in 4 district/counties, the resettlement impacts of all components of the project can be generally divided into three categories: 1）Most of the components use state-owned land, while only a few components use a very small collective land (villagers voluntarily donate land free of charge, which does not involve permanent land requisition). Flood discharge channel construction in Siyan Town in Lushan County does not involve house demolition. 2）The components that inevitably require the permanent occupation of collective land and demolition are: Shiyang Emergency Shelter Square in Tianquan County, flood discharge and related road works. 3）In addition to the above, all components in other counties and districts use state-owned land and do not involve additional permanent land occupation and house demolition. In order to gain a clear idea of the current situation and impact of land requisition for the project, the survey team conducted an on-site survey of each component. On the site, the team found that the land of which the requisition is not required and on which house demolition is not required was generally barren. There were no houses and attachments on such land. On a few small parts of the land, there were standing crops. According to the surveys, these standing crops were temporarily planted by the surrounding people after the completion of land requisition compensation, because there has been no construction for a long time. These people understand and know that standing crops should be removed before construction begins and that no additional compensation for standing crops will be made. As each component may include two or more similar sub-components in different areas, this report describes the current situation of land use for sub-components of each component separately:

The results of resettlement impact surveys for flood discharge and related works in Tianquan County and the emergency shelter square and related works in Shiyang are shown in this report. The resettlement activities carried out in other districts, counties and components are reviewed in Annex A (Due Diligence Report on Resettlement) of this report. 2.5 Project Preparation and Resettlement Plan Preparation Progress In September 2019, the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of Yucheng District, Yingjing County, Lushan County, and Tianquan County completed the project survey form for the project. In August 2019, the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of Hongya County prepared a project proposal for the project again. In November 2019, the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of each relevant county commissioned the China Railway Eryuan Engineering Group Co., Ltd. to prepare the Feasibility Study Report for the project. A preliminary study on the background, conditions, and engineering and technical schemes for project implementation has been conducted. In October 2019, the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of Yucheng District, Yingjing County, Lushan County, and Tianquan County commissioned Sichuan Fontal Strategic Consulting Co., Ltd. to prepare a resettlement due diligence report and resettlement plan for the land requisition and demolition involved in the project. In mid-to-late November 2019, based on the red line for project implementation and accompanied by the employers of components in relevant districts and counties, the heads of the Offices of Land and Resources of relevant townships and towns, and the heads/secretaries of villages in relevant townships and towns, the resettlement survey team of Sichuan Fontal Strategic Consulting Co., Ltd. visited the townships, towns, and villages involved in the project; carried out relevant socio-economic surveys; discussed compensation policies and resettlement plans with relevant departments and affected persons; and prepared resettlement due diligence 31

reports for Yucheng District, Yingjing County, Lushan County, and Tianquan County (part of the project) and a resettlement plan for Tianquan County. According to the World Bank's operational policy (OP 4.12): involuntary resettlement, the cut-off date for identifying the displaced persons and the quantity of physical items impacted by the project is November 30th of 2019.After this date, the persons entering the land area of the project will not be identified as displaced persons. Displaced persons are not allowed to build, expand or renovate houses, change the use of their houses and land, or lease land or buy or sell houses. Changes in the physical impact caused by the above behaviors will not be recognized as valid. 2.6 Measures to Reduce Resettlement Impacts Project construction involves land requisition, house demolition and resettlement, which will inevitably affect the living conditions of local residents. Therefore, in the project planning and design stage, to reduce the impact of project construction on the local economy and society, the design institute and the project employer have taken the following effective measures: ⚫ In the component selection stage, priority should be given to the components that do not involve additional land requisition and demolition ⚫ In the project planning stage, when plans are compared and selected, the impact of land requisition and demolition should be considered as much as possible and treated as a key factor in plan comparison and selection. ⚫ In the project feasibility study stage, construction should be carried out within the scope of the original roads and flood discharge channels in order to minimize the impact of the project on the local economy and society and the local people's lives. If occupation of additional land is inevitable, wasteland and state-owned land should be occupied as much as possible so that the occupation of cultivated land can be reduced. ⚫ In the project preparation stage, more basic data should be collected; in-depth analysis of the local socio-economic situation and future development should be conducted; and a practical resettlement action plan should be formulated in accordance with the local reality to ensure that affected persons will not suffer any loss caused by construction. ⚫ In the project implementation stage, internal and external monitoring should be strengthened; efficient and unobstructed feedback mechanisms and channels should be established; and the information processing cycle should be shortened as much as possible, so as to ensure that the problems arising from project implementation can be solved in a timely manner.

4.4 Analysis of Land Requisition and Demolition Impact Level 4.4.1 Analysis of the proportion of land requisition and occupation In the project, 160 households and 598 people are affected by land requisition, 58 households and 245 people are affected by both land requisition and demolition, and 102 households and 353 people are affected only by land requisition. See Table 4-11 for statistics on the number of households and persons affected by the project

TABLE 4-11 STATISTICS ON THE NUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDS AND PERSONS AFFECTED BY THE PROJECT Number of Number Type of impact households of persons affected affected Land requisition 160 598 Demolition 58 245 Affected by both land requisition 58 245 and demolition Affected only by land requisition 102 353 Shop demolition 5 13 Temporary land use 73 229 Total 238 840 Source: Tianquan County Project Management Office, on-site surveys 48

It is estimated that, after land requisition for the project, 101 people will be offered the social security, including 79 in Xincun Village and 22 in Xingzhong Village. The above population estimated is a preliminary estimation based on the on-site survey results. The final population for whom the social security will be provided will be determined based on the land and population data and the willingness of the population to be resettled when land requisition is implemented. The total population to be resettled accounts for 1.96% of the population of the two affected villages combined (2.80% of the population of Xincun Village and 0.94% of the population of Xingzhong Village).The two villages affected by the project have a total of 3,626 mu cultivated land. Area of the cultivated land permanently requisitioned for the project is 69.42 mu, accounting for 1.91% of the total area of cultivated land. Based on the survey for the project, land requisition for the project has little impact on farmers' agricultural income and even less impact on the families whose income is primarily from off-farm work. In addition, local governments have compensation and resettlement policies and livelihood restoration measures for the farmers whose land is requisitioned, so the negative impact of land requisition for the project on local households is generally insignificant.

4.4.3 Analysis of household income loss Land loss has little impact on the income of households affected by land requisition. According to social surveys, the local cultivated land is planted with basic crops, i.e. wheat and rice, and the proportion of agricultural income in the total income is relatively small. According to the sampling survey and analysis of the affected village groups, the income loss of the surveyed peasant families is lower than 30%.There are 38 households with an income loss lower than 5%, accounting for 76% of the total number of households; and there are 5 households with an income loss of 5%-10%, accounting for 10% of the total number of households. Households whose income loss caused by land requisition or demolition exceeds 10% are seriously affected households. There are a total of 7 seriously affected households, accounting for 14%.See table 4-14 for details

Source: On-site survey 4.6.2 Impact of the project on women According to the survey, the affected women in the project area enjoy the same legal rights as men, including the rights to contract farmland, receive education, have birth control, and participate in elections. Most of the employed women interviewed believe that they have the same autonomy as men in production and operation, and can choose to do off-farm work or do small business. As rural labor force moves, the role of men and women in family has changed from the traditional "men being breadwinners and women being homemakers" to men and women sharing internal and external family affairs, with a difference, that is, compared with men, women are slightly better than men when it comes to agriculture and internal family affairs. In terms of land ownership, women in the project area are like women in other parts of China. Since the implementation of the household contract responsibility system began in 1982, after a girl gets married, her land still belongs to her parents, and she will share the land owned by her husband. However, this situation has been corrected for the affected villages that have undergone the second round of land contracting (around 1999).If land requisition, demolition and resettlement are involved, compensation will be paid for the affected families. In each affected family, women enjoy equal compensation rights with men. See Table 4-17 and Table 4-18 for detailed analysis The overwhelming majority of women support the implementation of the project. Women believe that the project is conducive to the local economic development. The development of the project has improved the investment environment of the park, which will bring more job opportunities. With more job opportunities, it will be easier for women to find jobs in their hometown and achieve work-life balance. Women in the project area hope that the project will be implemented as soon as possible and put into use, so as to maximize the benefits for local residents.

Decision of the State Council on Furthering Reform and Strengthening Land Management (G.F[2004]No.28)

In order to strengthen land management, the State Council of China released the Decision of the State Council on Furthering Reform and Strengthening Land Management (G.F[2004]No.28) in 2004, which put forwards new requirements on the improvement of compensation for land acquisition. Main provisions of the decision are as follows:

Article 12:"Improvement of compensation measures for land acquisition. The local people's governments at or above the county level shall take practical measures to prevent the life of land-acquired farmers from being reduced due to land acquisition. It shall be ensured that the land compensation, resettlement subsidies and compensations for land attachments and standing crops are paid in full and in a timely manner. Where the land compensation and resettlement subsidies paid in accordance with the existing laws and regulations are not enough to ensure the original living standards of the land-acquired farmers and cover the social security premium for the land-acquired farmers, the people's government of province, autonomous region or municipality directly under the central government shall approve to

increase the resettlement subsidies. Where the sum of the land compensation and resettlement subsidies reaches the legal upper limit, but are still not enough to keep the original living standards of the land-acquired farmers, the local people's government can subsidize them with the income from paid-use of state-owned land. The people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall formulate and publish unified annual output value standards or comprehensive land price for land acquisition in cities and counties, shall ensure same price for the land in the same area and include the full amount of land acquisition cost for the national key project into the budget. The compensation standard and resettlement measures for land acquisition for large and medium-sized water conservancy and hydro-power projects shall be separately stipulated by the State Council. "

Article 13 states: "The land-acquired farmers shall be properly resettled. Local people's governments at or above the county level shall formulate specific measures to guarantee the long-term livelihoods of land-acquired farmers. For projects with stable income, farmers can become the equity holders of these project with the use right of construction land approved according to law. In the urban planning area, the local people's government shall include the land lost farmers due to land acquisition into the urban employment system and establish a social security system. Meanwhile, when acquiring the collectively-owned land of farmers, the local people's government shall reserve necessary cultivated land or arrange corresponding jobs for the land-acquired farmers in its administrative region and shall resettle the land lost farmers without basic living and production conditions in other places. The labor and social security departments shall, together with the relevant departments, put forward as soon as possible the guidance on establishment of employment training and social security systems for land-acquired farmers.

Provisions on the average annual output value of the previous three years. The average annual output value of the three years before acquisition of the cultivated land shall be formulated by the people's government of each county (city, district) together with the departments of land and resources, finance, prices, agriculture, forestry, and statistics and shall be reported to the people's government of city (prefecture) which shall summarize and report to the provincial department of land and resources. After the people's government of each city (prefecture) and the Provincial Department of Land and Resources proposed amendments to the average annual output value of the previous three years formulated by the counties (cities, districts) based on relevant data, the people's government of cities (prefectures), counties (cities, districts) shall announce the average annual output value of the previous three years in their administrative regions to the social public before end of April every year.

Provisions on the calculation multiples of land compensation and resettlement subsidies. The land compensation for acquisition of each acre of cultivated shall be calculated as per 10 times of the average annual output value of the previous three years. The resettlement

subsidies are calculated according to the average area of cultivated land of the land-acquired collective organizations and as per the following standards: 6 times of the average annual output value of each acre of cultivated land in the previous three years if the average area of cultivated land per person is 1mu or above; 6 times of the annual output value of each acre of cultivated land for each person to be resettled if the average area of cultivated land per person is less than 1mu. The land compensation and resettlement subsidies for acquisition of non-cultivated land shall be calculated as per half of the above standards.

Provisions on the standards of compensation for land attachments and standing crops. The standards of compensation for land attachments and standing crops shall be revised by the people's government of cities (prefectures) every three years and shall be implemented upon approval of the provincial people's government. In the implementation process, the people's government of cities (prefectures) can make corresponding adjustments based on the price increases in their regions.

The project will provide cash compensation to the affected village groups and affected farmers. The standard is 37600 yuan/mu (excluding compensation for standing crops). The compensation for acquisition of cultivated land and the compensation for acquisition of other land as well as the resettlement subsidies will be directly paid to the land-acquired village groups. The land-acquired village group will deduct the amount payable by the village collective for the unemployment insurance of the non-agricultural workers transferred from agricultural workers first. The remaining part will be distributed according to the decision of the villagers after discussion and an agreement is reached. The use and management of this part will be made public.

Provisions on the resettlement of land-acquired farmers. Where the people's government responsible for land acquisition and resettlement implements land acquisition within the urban (town) planning area, the people's government shall determine the number of land-acquired farmers to be resettled in cities and towns according to the proportion of area of land acquired to the average land area per person of the land-acquired collective economic organization before the land acquisition. Meanwhile, the people's government shall include this group of people into the urban employment scope, offer employment training to them to improve their employment ability, realize multi-channel employment, focus on the employment issue of the family with no people employed and establish corresponding social security systems.

Where land acquisition is implemented in separate site out of the urban planning area and there is relatively rich average resource of cultivated land per person after the land acquisition, agricultural resettlement can be implemented on the basis of respecting the willingness of land-acquired farmers and such group of people can also be included into the local agricultural social security system. If there is relatively scare average resource of cultivated land per person after land acquisition and there are no basic production and living conditions, the land-acquired farmers shall be included into the urban employment system and corresponding social security system should be established.

Where house demolition is involved in the land acquisition, effective measures shall be taken in accordance with relevant regulations to effectively guarantee the basic living conditions of the land-acquired farmers. For implementation of land acquisition and house 85

demolition, the basic floor area of house provided by the government shall not be less than 30 square meters per person. The house-demolished farmers do not have to pay for the house within the basic housing floor area and nor do they enjoy the original compensation for house demolition. The part that the original demolished housing area exceeding the basic housing area will be compensated according to the standard of compensation for land attachments. Where unified construction of resettlement houses is implemented, the resettlement houses should be prepared in advance. In principle, the resettlement house shall be built first before the original house is demolished. Where transition is really needed, the houses for transition shall be offered and the subsidies for transition shall be paid to ensure that the house-demolished people have basic living condition during the transition period. The transition period shall not exceed one year, and the transition subsidies shall be doubled if the transition period is more than 1 year.

World Bank's Policy on Involuntary Resettlement

The World Bank's operational policies and procedures on involuntary resettlement (OP4.12 and BP4.12) have detailed regulations on involuntary resettlement policies. The main provisions related to this project include:

● Policy objectives of resettlement

1. All other feasible project design options should be explored to avoid or reduce involuntary resettlement as much as possible.

2. If resettlement inevitable, the resettlement activities should be conceived and implemented as a sustainable development plan, and sufficient investment funds should be provided so that those who are forced to resettle by this project can share the benefits of the project. Negotiation with the displaced persons shall be carefully implemented and they should have the opportunity to participate in the planning and implementation of the resettlement plan.

● Measures to achieve the objectives

3． Corresponding measures should be taken in the resettlement action plan or resettlement policy framework to ensure:

(1) The displaced persons know their options and other rights on the resettlement issues;

(2) Negotiation of the technically and economically viable alternatives with the displaced persons to provide them with choices and options;

(3) Provide prompt and effective compensation to the displaced persons to offset their direct property losses caused by the project.

4． If physical relocation is involved, corresponding measures should be taken in the resettlement action plan or resettlement policy framework to ensure:

(1) Provide assistance to the displaced persons during relocation (such as relocation subsidies);

(2) Provide housing or house address for displaced persons or provide agricultural production sites according to the requirements. The production potential, location advantages and other factors of agricultural production sites should be at least equivalent to the favorable conditions of the original site.

5． If it is necessary to achieve the policy objectives, corresponding measures should be taken in the resettlement action plan or resettlement policy framework to ensure:

(1) Reasonably estimate the transition period according to the duration which might be required for restoration of the livelihood and living standards of displaced persons and provide support for the displaced persons in the transition period.

● For the displaced persons living on the land, priority should be given to land-based resettlement strategies. These strategies may include resettlement on public land or private land acquired for resettlement. Whenever replacement land is provided, the productive potential, location advantage and other factors of the land provided to the displaced persons should be at least equal to the favorable conditions of the acquired land. If the displaced persons do not give preference to the land, or if the land provided will adversely affect the sustainability of the park or protected area, or if it is unable to obtain sufficient land at a reasonable price, in addition to the cash compensation for the land and other property loss, the resettlement plan not based on the land but centered on employment or opportunities to earn their own living should be provided. If there is insufficient land, it should be explained and recorded in accordance with the requirements of the bank.

● The possible conditions for paying cash compensation for property loss are: (a) the affected people live on the land while the land acquired for the project is only a small part of the damaged property, and the remaining part can support the independent economic development for the affected people; (b) there are active land, house and labor markets and the displaced persons can make use of this type of market to have sufficient supply of land and houses; or (c) the affected people do not live on the land.

Corresponding convenient grievance mechanisms for these groups should be established.

● In new resettlement sites or main communities, necessary infrastructure and public services to improve, restore, or maintain the accessibility and service level for the displaced persons and the communities receiving them should be implemented. Alternative or similar resources should be provided to compensate the loss of the available community resources (such as fishing, pastoral, fuel or forage).

● Community organization mode model that is compatible with the new environment should be established according to the choices of displaced persons. Where possible, the existing social and cultural institutions of the displaced persons and communities should be preserved and opinions of the displaced persons should be respected.

5.3 Differential analysis of the resettlement policies of the World Bank and involuntary resettlement policies of China Since the 1980s, important Chinese and local governments have continuously reformed and improved resettlement related policies in the practice of land acquisition and house demolition and have made significant progress in formulating reasonable compensation standards for land acquisition and house demolition, providing diversified resettlement methods for choice and ensuring the openness and standardization of the resettlement implementation process. The gap between the policy on compensation for land acquisition and house demolition and the World Bank's policy on involuntary resettlement becomes smaller.

However, for various specific reasons, the current resettlement policies implemented in China and Ya'an City where the project is located differ from the World Bank policies to certain extent. Table 5-2 details these difference.

TABLE 5-2 COMPARISON BETWEEN CHINA'S POLICIES AND WORLD BANK POLICIES

Policies of China World Bank policies

Avoid or reduce the occurrence of involuntary Ensure the timely and effective completion of resettlement as much as possible. If it is Objectives construction projects, and ensure social stability inevitable, it is necessary to ensure that their and harmony. living standards do not decrease.

Cash compensation is usually implemented for land acquisition, with employment assistance Land replacement for affected people who live and social security as a supplement. on the land is offered; Choice of The affected people have the right to choose cash compensation Cash compensation or property right exchange is compensation or physical compensation; method offered for this project. When choosing the the resettlement through property right exchange, the The location of the resettlement house can be location and structure of resettlement house have freely chosen by the public. been determined.

Compensation The transaction price of second-hand housing in The replacement cost is used to estimate the price the same area, of same structure and for same price and depreciation is not considered when calculation purpose is adopted as the compensation price for applying this method. method house demolition.

Socio-economic surveys of the displaced persons Socioeconomic No mandatory requirements should be conducted early in the project survey preparation.

The land-acquired farmers are included into the When necessary, corresponding measures should Transition corresponding social security system such as be taken in the resettlement action plan or period and endowment insurance to ensure their long-term resettlement policy framework to ensure: livelihood livelihood. (1) Reasonably estimate the transition period recovery Local governments formulate training policies according to the duration which might be based on the actual conditions in their required for restoration of the livelihood and

jurisdictions to provide training opportunities for living standards of displaced persons and provide low-income groups, land lost farmers, and the support for the displaced persons in the transition unemployed. period.

For the demolished households, the transition (ii) Development assistance in land preparation, subsidies will be paid according to the standard, credit, training or employment in addition to the and the demolished households can rent houses compensation measures can also be provided. to get through the transition period.

For those who have no recognized legal rights or claims on the land they occupy, resettlement assistance can be obtained in lieu of

The compensation policies differ from province compensation for the land they occupy and other to province. In Tianquan County, Ya'an City necessary assistance to achieve the goals set out Compensation where the project is located, the business stores in this policy. The premise is that their for building without house property right certificates due to occupation of land in the project area is earlier without historical reasons can be recognized as business than the cut-off date set by the borrower and property right house after joint recognition of the relevant accepted by the World Bank. certificates governmental departments and announcement in Those who occupy the area after the cut-off date the village or community of the store. are not entitled to compensation or any form of resettlement assistance. And everyone can get compensation for loss of property other than land.

The public consultation system is not complete There is a complete and mature method of public Public and the public consultation in the true sense is consultation and implementation, and the public consultation only in some stages of the project can participate in the entire process of the project implementation. from various aspects.

It consists of the internal monitoring by the Monitoring is carried out by the internal internal management system of the employer and Monitoring management mechanism of the employer and the resettlement implementation agency and the support resettlement implementation agency. external monitoring by the independent external monitoring agency.

The public can appeal through multiple channels Grievance Establish a specialized agency to accept public including the community, the sub-district office, mechanism complaints. the employer and the external monitoring agency.

In view of the above differences, the Project Management Office has carefully studied the World Bank’s policy on involuntary resettlement, studied some good practices in recent years in the resettlement practice of other cities in China, especially Ya'an City and concluded the feasible resettlement policies which are in line with the World Bank's basic principles and fully consider the realities of Ya'an City and Tianquan County. For example, for resettlement through property right exchange, the resettlement houses are provided according to the ratio 91

of 1:1.2 to compensate the residential houses of the residents. The location of resettlement houses is in the core area of the planned area of Shiyang Town, is near the schools and has complete business facilities. In the recognition of streetside business houses and residential houses at ground floor, Tianquan County's policy stipulates that the houses without land use certificate and house ownership certificate due to historical reasons but have been actually used for business can be recognized as business houses after recognition and announcement of the housing and urban-rural development department, land and resource department, Shiyang Town and the village (community) of the house. Such a policy fully takes into account the interests of the vulnerable group, better considers the World Bank's policy on involuntary resettlement and China's policy. Hence, it is operable and widely welcomed by residents in the project area.

6 Compensation Standard

The compensation standard for land acquisition and demolition is finally determined on the basis of relevant policies, regulation and implementation measures of China and Sichuan Province, relevant documents of Tianquan County and the World Bank's Safeguard policies-OP4.12/BP4.12 and policy on involuntary resettlement and through opinion survey and public consultation of the affected people on compensation standard for land acquisition. The compensation standard of the project is determined after seeking opinions of the affected people, is recognized by the local government, conforms to the policies and regulations and economic level of various regions of China and Sichuan Province and can ensure the production and living restoration and the livelihood of the affected people. 6.1 Compensation rates for permanent acquisition of collectively-owned land Notice of the General Office of Tianquan County People's Government on Printing and Distributing the Plan of Compensation for House Demolition in Urban Planned Shanty Town (Villages-in-City) Renovation (Shiyang Sub-area) in Tianquan County (T.F.B.F.[2019] No.8) stipulates that the compensation for acquisition of cultivated land and resettlement subsidies in planning area of Shiyang is 45,000 yuan per mu. The compensation for acquisition of collectively-owned land is implemented by land acquisition and compensation agreement between the land and resource department and the affected collectively-owned economic organization.

The compensation and resettlement subsidies for acquisition of other land are calculated according to half of the standard for acquisition of cultivated land. See table 6-1 for details.

6.3 Compensation standards for demolition of residential houses 6.3.1 Resettlement method for demolition of residential houses

The document T.F.B.F[2019] No.8 stipulates to implement resettlement through property right exchange or cash compensation for the demolition of residential houses in land acquisition in the urban (town) planning area.

1) Cash compensation

Cash compensation will be implemented as per the floor area of acquired houses on the state-owned allocated land and the appraisal price of 1,800 yuan/m2 (including the value of land and decoration); or as per the floor area of acquired house on the state-owned transferred land and the appraisal price of 2,200 yuan/m2 (including the value of land and decoration); or as per the floor area of the acquired houses on the collectively-owned land and the appraisal price of 1,600 yuan/m2 (including the value of land and decoration).

2) Property right exchange

In order to control the market price of commercial housing, if the affected people choose to purchase the commercial housing in the designated planning area of Shiyang Town, the property right will be exchanged according to the ratio of 1:1.2 of the area. Settlement method of property right exchange: if the compensation area is larger than the area of the purchased commercial housing, it shall be settled according to the cash compensation price and the recognized area; if the compensation area is smaller than the area of the purchased commercial housing, the excess part of below 10m2 shall be purchased as per 2,200 yuan/m2 and the excess part of more than 10m2 shall be purchased as per 3,600 yuan/m2.

6.3.2 Incentive policies for house demolition

1) Incentive for resettlement through self-built housing. In order to promote the shantytown renovation in the planning area of Shiyang Town, promote the resettlement through property right exchange and encourage the affected households to start their own businesses, the households signing the renovation and resettlement agreement within stipulated time limit and delivering the acquired houses will be offered a one-time multi-level (high-level) awards and resettlement reward of 400 yuan/m2 according to the original recognized area.

2) The affected households choosing cash compensation, signing the demolition agreement and purchasing the commercial housing in Tianquan County will be offered a one-time multi-level (high-level) reward and the resettlement reward of 400 yuan/m2 according to the original recognized area and the subsidies for house purchases as per 300 yuan/m2 (subject to the area in the commercial housing sales and purchase contract or immovable property ownership certificate).

3) Incentive for early relocation. The house-acquired households signing the house acquisition and compensation agreement and vacating the houses within the time limit stated in the announcement and completing the relevant procedures will be offered a reward for early relocation as per 10,000 yuan/household (the house under common property right ownership shall be deemed as house of one household). If the

100

house-acquired households relocate on the date exceeding the stated time limit, the reward will be decreased as per the proportion of 10% every day. When the reward is decreased to zero as per such proportion, the house-acquired households will not be entitled to the reward for early relocation.

6.3.3 Subsidy policy

The house-acquired households signing the agreement, vacating and delivering the houses within the time limit stated in the announcement can enjoy the following subsidy policies:

1) Subsidy for moving. The households who actively cooperate with the renovation will be given a one-time subsidy for moving as per the original area of their houses and 15 yuan/m2.

2) Subsidy for transition. The house-acquired households will be given a one-time subsidy for transition according to the original area of their houses and the standard of 8 yuan/㎡ per month and the subsidy will be paid for 18 months. Where the purchase of commercial housing in the planning area of Shiyang Town, the relevant policies will be followed in case of overdue.

3) Subsidy for property management. The cost of property management of 36 months for the exchanged houses (excluding the area purchased by the house-acquired households) will be borne by the government as a subsidy for the house-acquired households.

6.3.4 Other related matters

1) Transfer and re-installation of water, electricity and gas facilities. After signing the renovation agreement, the renovated households shall settle the expenses of water, electricity, gas, telephone, and CCTV. The renovated households choosing property right exchange do not have to pay the transfer and re-installation cost (but can purchase the accounts in the designated area) and have to bear the relevant cost of added accounts. The renovated households choosing cash compensation shall be compensated in one lump sum for the transfer and re-installation of the water, electricity, gas, telephone, and CCTV facilities.

2) For the reconstruction in this area, the simulated demolition will be started first and the simulated demolition and resettlement agreement will be signed. When the signing rate of the simulated demolition and resettlement agreement has reached the corresponding proportion within the stipulated time limit, the simulated demolition and resettlement agreement will be then changed into formal agreement and come into effective. Or else, the simulated demolition and resettlement agreement becomes automatically terminated.

3) The resettlement houses for the shantytown renovation shall, in principle, only be allowed for residence since they have enjoyed the preferential policies from the government and not be allowed for transaction. If the transaction is indeed necessary, it can only be conducted three years later from the date of delivery of the house.

101

4) The renovated households entrust an agency to handle the property right exchange card and the bonus and transition subsidies related to the shantytown renovation as well as various procedures for policy subsidies.

5) After renovated households sign the agreement, the house acquiring unit will provide a 15-day time limit to the house acquired households for moving. After the house acquired household vacate the house and deliver them to the working team of the demolition and compensation office for acceptance, the residual value of the house will be handled by the demolition and compensation office. The land acquiring unit will settle it at one time and transfer the related subsidy and bonus to the card of the house acquired households.

6.3.5 Analysis of replacement standards

According to the site visit of the investigation team and the statistical data provided by Shiyang Town Government of Tianquan County, random survey of the Shiyang Town and comprehensive analysis of the data on various second-hand house transaction platform (Ganji, Fangtianxia and etc.) of Tianquan County, as of December 2019, the unit price of second-hand houses on collectively-owned land of Shiyang Town (project-affected area) of Tianquan County is 1600-1700 yuan/m2 and the average price is 1650 yuan/m2. The houses in Shiyang Town are usually rented in set and the rents are generally settled annually or half a year. The rents of a rural residential house of 180m2 are usually 5,000-1,000 yuan/year, equivalent to only 2.31-4.63 yuan/m2 per month.

If the affected households choose cash compensation, they will receive compensation of 1,600 yuan/m2, incentive for demolition of 400 yuan/m2 and reward for early signing of agreement as per 10,000 per household. The total compensation unit price exceeds 2,000 yuan/m2. There is a balance after purchasing a second-hand house of same area and same conditions in the same region with the compensation. Therefore, the standards of cash compensation can achieve full replacement.

If the affected households choose resettlement through property right exchange, they can receive the resettlement houses according to the area ratio of 1:1.2. The resettlement house is located in the core area of Shiyang Town which is the center of future planning and development. There are schools and commercial facilities in the surrounding area according to the plan and many different house patterns are offered for choice. In addition, the cost for property management of the first 36 months will be borne by the government, which further reducing the economic pressure on the affected households. Therefore, the standard of property right exchange can achieve full replacement.

The affected households will receive a one-time subsidy for transition of 18 months according to the standard of 8 yuan/m2 per month after signing the agreement. This standard is higher than the maximum unit rent in the same area of Shiyang Town. The subsidy for transition is sufficient for the affected households to rent a house in the same area of Shiyang Town.

102

Taking a 220-square-meter house to be demolished as an example, if the affected households choose cash compensation, they can get compensation for demolition, incentive for demolition and incentive for early signing of the agreement, which totals about 45,000 yuan. In Shiyang Town, a house of the same size, location, and condition is worth about 370,000 yuan, and a balance of 80,000 yuan can be left after buying a house. The affected households can also choose resettlement through property right exchange and get a resettlement house of about 264 square meters. Meanwhile, the affected households can also receive a one-time resettlement subsidies of 31,680 yuan for 18 months. The rent of the house with the best conditions in the same region and of the same area for 18 months is less than 20,000 yuan, and there is a balance after paying the rent. Therefore, regardless of cash compensation or property right exchange, the compensation standards are higher than the replacement standard and full replacement can be achieved. 6.4 Standards of compensation for land attachments and ancillary facilities All attachments and ancillary facilities affected by the land acquisition and demolition of this project will be compensated and restored. The specific standards are detailed in Table 6-5 and Table 6-6.

The specific compensation standards are as follows: 6.5.1 Cash compensation Cash compensation for the business houses on state-owned allocated land will be implemented as per the appraisal price of 4,300 yuan/m2 (including the value of the land and decoration); cash compensation for the business houses on the state-owned transferred land will be implemented as per the appraisal price of 5,000 yuan/m2 (including the value of the land decoration); and the cash compensation for the business houses on the collectively-owned land will be implemented as per the appraisal price of 4,000 yuan/m2 (including the value of the land and decoration).

6.5.2 Property right exchange

Resettlement through property right exchange of the streetside business premises at ground floor. Settlement of property right exchange: no difference will be bridged when the area of the resettlement house equals to the area of original house. When the area of the resettlement house is greater than the area of original house, for the excess part less than 10m2 (inclusive), the part shall be purchased as per 6000 yuan/m2 if the natural depth is less than 12m (inclusive) and as per 3,600 yuan/m2 for the part of natural depth exceeding 12m; for the excess part exceeding 10m2, the part shall be purchased as per 8,000 yuan/m2 if the natural depth is less than 12m (inclusive) and as per 3,600 yuan/m2 for the part of natural depth exceeding 12m. If the area of the resettlement house is smaller than the area of original house, the difference shall be compensated by the government through cash.

6.5.3 Analysis of replacement standards

According to the field survey of the investigation team and the statistical data analysis provided by Shiyang Town Government of Tianquan County, most of the current business stores (shops) in Shiyang Town are open shops built on the first floor of houses, and it is basically one price for one shop. The transaction is conducted by the buyer and the seller through negotiation according to the location, area, property right and business type of the shops. At present, the best-selling stores have a unit price of about 5,000 yuan/m2 and the average price of shops in other places is about 3,800 yuan/m2.

If the affected households choose cash compensation, they can receive compensation as per 4,000 yuan/m2 which enables them to purchase a business house of same area in Shiyang 105

Town. If they choose property right exchange, they can get a business house of the same area in the core planning area of future Shiyang Town. Such business house will be better than the original house in terms of appreciation space, operating potential and construction quality. Therefore, whether it is cash compensation or property right exchange, the compensation standard can meet the requirements of complete replacement.

7 Resettlement and Livlihood Restoration

7.1 Resettlement objectives The overall goal of the resettlement action plan of this project are: to provide appropriate livelihood and family development measures to ensure that their living standards are restored to the level at least not lower than the levels before the project. The project's policy objectives for resettlement of affected households include:

● Taking engineering, technical, economic and other measures to avoid or reduce the physical quantity of people affected by land acquisition and house demolition; if the land acquisition and house demolition is unavoidable, effective measures should be taken to reduce the impact of land acquisition and house demolition on the production and life of local residents as possible as practical.

● The affected households will be properly resettled and receive reasonable cash compensation so that their living quality and environment can reach at least the level before demolition and be improved to some degree.

● All types of affected land attachments are compensated at replacement cost;

● Infrastructure is compensated or restored to perform its original function;

● The public facilities and environment of the affected communities are restored to the level before demolition and improved to some extent.

● The labor affected by land acquisition is properly resettled, their long-term livelihoods are guaranteed, and living standards are not reduced but improved.

The resettlement action plan of this project will be prepared in strict accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of the People's Republic of China and Sichuan Province and the relevant policy requirements of the World Bank. The people's government of the project-located county will strictly implement the land acquisition and demolition procedures and resettlement measures, earnestly arrange the production and livelihood of the land-acquired farmers and do a good job in employment training and social security for the land-acquired farmers. 7.2 Resettlement strategy The resettlement plan fully reflects the participatory work methods and concepts, respects the wishes of the affected people, and maintains their existing production and living traditions. As the project is implemented in the urban planning area, the land acquisition in the affected villages have been implemented for many years and there is no surplus land for resettlement. In addition, the residents in the project area no longer mainly earn income from agricultural production. Therefore, no agricultural resettlement is required for this land acquisition. According to the survey and negotiation with the affected people, cash compensation will be provided to the affected people or villagers' groups. These compensations can be used to improve existing production conditions or invest in other sideline or non-agricultural production activities. The resettlement plan should contain the contents of improving the living standards of the poor and other vulnerable groups adversely 107

affected by the project.

For the registered agricultural population who lost all or most of their land due to the construction of this project and enjoys the right to contract rural collective land at the time of land acquisition, the land lost farmers will be transferred to non-agricultural people and offered the social security according to the measures for resettlement of land lost farmers. Meanwhile, the employment department will offer vocational education and training to the affected people and recommend for free and recommend employment opportunities to them. 7.3 Resettlement tasks According to the site physical indicators and survey on the affected population, the population to whom the land compensation and economic restoration should be provided due to land acquisition of this project is 598 in 160 households. The house-demolished households are also the land-acquired households in this project, which are 94 people in 22 households. It is estimated that, after the land acquisition of this project, 101 people will be offered the social security, including 79 in Xincun Village and 22 in Xingzhong Village. The above population to be resettled is a preliminary estimation based on the site survey results. The final population for whom the social security will be provided will be jointly determined according to the land and population data when implementing the land acquisition and the willingness of the population to be resettled. 7.4 Resettlement plan 7.4.1 Resettlement plan for land acquisition

In the project design process, the project design unit has fully considered the destructive effects of land acquisition on the local socio-economic development and production and living systems and has continuously optimized the engineering design, controlled and optimized the road width and construction scale, and built area within the scope of land acquisition and demolition to reduce the impact of project construction on local production and living.

The project requires acquisition of a total of 79.86mu collectively-owned land, including 69.42mu cultivated land. According to the analysis of the section 4.5 of this report, the cultivated land acquired for this project only accounts for 1.91% of the total cultivated land in the affected villages, and the per capita cultivated land has decreased by only 0.02mu. The vast majority of affected households have not completely lost their land, so the impact of land acquisition on agricultural production of farmers is not serious.

Almost all affected households support the project. The affected households believe that the implementation of this project can change the situation of local traffic jams, and the emergency refuge square can greatly improve the surrounding safe refuge conditions. Meanwhile, the compensation funds will be mainly used for social insurance and training of labor skills.

1) Agricultural resettlement analysis

As the project is implemented in the urban planning area, the land acquisition in the affected villages have been implemented for many years and there is no surplus land for

108

resettlement. In addition, the residents in the project area no longer mainly earn income from agricultural production. Therefore, no agricultural resettlement is required for this land acquisition.

2) Cash compensation and distribution

The project will provide cash compensation to the affected village groups and affected farmers. The standard is 45,000 yuan/mu (excluding compensation for standing crops). According to the stipulations of the Measures of Tianquan County for Implementing Land Acquisition, House Demolition and Compensation (T.F.B.F.[2014] No.9) and the Document (T.F.B.F.[2019] No.8), the compensation for acquisition of cultivated land and the compensation for acquisition of other land as well as the resettlement subsidies will be directly paid to the land-acquired village groups. The land-acquired village group will deduct the amount payable by the village collective for the unemployment insurance of the non-agricultural workers transferred from agricultural workers first. The remaining part will be distributed according to the decision of the villagers after discussion and an agreement is reached. The use and management of this part will be made public.

In principle, the resettlement subsidies for land acquisition shall be paid to individuals in a lump sum after going the procedures of transferring agricultural household registration to non-agricultural household registration. For those who participate in social security, after deducting the unemployment insurance premiums that should be paid by the personnel transferred to agricultural labors to non-agricultural labors, the resettlement subsidies for acquisition of cultivated land shall be firstly used for payment of the endowment insurance premiums that should be paid by the land-acquired farmers. The remaining part shall be directly paid to the individual. The resettlement subsidies for acquisition of cultivated land that are used for payment of the social security premium payable by the individuals shall be paid to the social insurance institution in one lump sum within 15 days after going through the procedures of transferring the agricultural household registration to non-agricultural household registration. The living (resettlement) subsidies for the personnel transferring from agricultural people to non-agricultural people and aged below 16 shall be paid to their legal guardian in one lump sum after going through the procedures of transferring agricultural household registration to non-agricultural household registration.

3) Social security measures

a) Endowment insurance

According to the Measures of Tianquan County for Implementing Land Acquisition, House Demolition and Compensation (T.F.B.F[2014] No.9), the land-acquired people aged 16 and above from the date on which the government approves the land acquisition and compensation plan, meeting the above conditions and working in cities shall participate in basic endowment insurance for the enterprise staffs; the land acquiring unit shall pay for them the basic endowment insurance premiums of certain years in a one lump sum to the social insurance agency. The base of premiums shall be 60% of the average salary of the employed workers in the province in the previous year of the date on which the government approves the land acquisition and compensation plan and the contribution rate shall be 20%, with the land acquiring unit bearing 12% and the land-acquired farmers bearing 8%. The endowment

109

insurance premiums payable by individuals shall be withheld and paid by the land acquiring unit from the resettlement subsidies received by them (namely the remaining part after deducting the unemployment insurance premiums payable by individuals), and the shortfall shall be borne by the land acquiring unit. After the land acquiring unit has paid the basic endowment insurance premiums in full, the social insurance agency will set up a personal account for them at 8% of the payment base.

The number of land acquired persons who are resettled in cities and towns shall be determined according to the result of the area of acquired cultivated land dividing the average area of cultivated land per person of the land acquired village groups before the land acquisition. The number of the average area of cultivated land per person of the land acquired village group is the results of the total area of cultivated land of the land acquired village groups dividing the total agricultural population of the land acquired village group. After preliminary estimation, the number of the "agricultural to non-agricultural" transformed people for whom the social security is implemented by this project is 101.

For the people resettled in cities and towns and aged 16 and above from the date on which the government approves the land acquisition and compensation plan, the basic endowment insurance premiums for them will be paid in one lump sum for one more year when the actual age increases by two years (namely the premium should be paid for one year if the resettled people is 16 years old and two years if they are 18 years old, and so on) and the premiums should be paid for no more than 15 years.

If the land-acquired people resettled in cities and towns do not meet the conditions for receiving basic pension, they should continue to pay the basic endowment insurance premiums according to the regulations. When the land-acquired people resettled in cities and towns reach the age for retirement, namely 60 years old for the male and 55 years old for the female, and have paid the premiums for cumulatively 15 years or more, they can apply for receiving the basic pension, receive the monthly pension from social insurance agency from the following month and enjoy the national policies on adjustment of basic pension.

The basic pension consists of a base pension and pension from personal account. The base pension is based on the mean value of the monthly average salary of the employed workers in the province in the previous year and the indexed average monthly paid salary of the individual and will be paid as per 1% for every one year of payment. The monthly standard of personal account pension is based on the deposits accrued in personal account.

b) Unemployment insurance

The male land acquired people who aged from 16 (inclusive) to 60 and the female land acquired people who aged from 16 (inclusive) to 55 and resettled in cities and towns but unemployed from the date on which the government approves the land acquisition and compensation plan shall be covered by the unemployment insurance. The land acquiring unit shall go through the unemployment insurance procedures for them and the employment service and management institution shall issue free-of-charge Employment Registration Certificate of Sichuan Province.

The unemployment insurance premiums for the land-acquired people resettled in cities and towns shall be borne by the country, the collective organization and the individuals. The standard for payable unemployment insurance premiums is: the fund necessary for the local individual to enjoy the full amount of unemployment insurance when the government approves the compensation plan. The individual payable part is based on 60% of the average salary of the employee in the previous year and should be paid for 10 years based on 1% of the base and deducted from the resettlement subsidies payable to such individual. 80% of the remaining part shall be borne by the land-acquiring unit and 20% shall be borne by the land-acquired village groups. The part that should be borne by the land-acquired village group and the individuals shall be paid by the land and resource department in the payment of cost for land acquisition and fully and timely allocated into the account of unemployment insurance fund.

The maximum period for the land-acquired people resettled in cities and towns to receive the unemployment insurance benefits should be 24 months. The standards for the payment of unemployment insurance benefits, other unemployment insurance benefits and management service should equal to the standard of unemployment insurance benefits of other people in cities and towns. However, when such people reach the legal age for retirement and start to receive the pension during their enjoyment of unemployment insurance benefits, the payment of unemployment insurance benefits should be stopped. At present, the unemployment insurance benefits range from 1008 to 1,200 yuan per month.

c) Medical insurance

The male land-acquired people who aged 60 and above and the female land-acquired people who aged 55 and above from the date on which the government approves the Land Acquisition, Compensation and Resettlement Plan and resettled in cities and towns should participate in the basic medical insurance for urban residents and enjoy the corresponding benefits. In addition, the local government pays the premiums of basic medical insurance for 111

urban residents for 15 years at one time in accordance with the policies on basic medical insurance for urban residents and the individuals do not make the payment. The part that should be paid by the individual shall be paid by the government from the land proceeds, and the personal insurance status shall be reported by the handling agency according to regulations. For the male land-acquired people aged below 60 and the female land-acquired people aged below 55 from the date on which the government approves the Land Acquisition, Compensation and Resettlement Plan and resettled in cities and towns, if they are re-employed in cities and towns, they shall be covered by the basic medical insurance for urban employees which shall be handled by the employer; if they get re-employed in a flexible way, they shall be covered by the basic medical insurance for urban employees according to regulations; if they are unemployed, they shall be covered by the basic medical insurance for urban residents. The government can provide subsidy of a certain year for the above personnel according to the regulations on the age, insurance type and medical insurance contribution period to establish a medical insurance relationship. The required funds shall be borne by the land acquiring unit and included in the allocation and land transfer cost. Duration of subsidy: For the male aged from 50 (inclusive) to 60 and the female aged 45 (inclusive) to 55, it is 7 years; for the male aged from 18 (inclusive) to 50 and the female aged from 18 (inclusive) to 45, it is 5 years.

The social security funds required for the land acquired people resettled in cities and towns shall, in principle, be borne by the individual, the rural collective economic organizations, and land acquiring unit. The individually payable part of the funds required for social security of the land acquired people resettled in cities and towns shall be directly deducted from the resettlement subsidies they receive. Where the resettlement subsidies are insufficient to cover such part, the shortfall shall be borne by the land acquiring unit and included into the allocation or land transfer cost.

The land acquired people resettled in cities and towns who have real difficulties and meet the minimum living security conditions for urban residents shall be included into the scope of local minimum living security for urban residents.

4) Skills training measures

According to the analysis of the impact of land acquisition and house demolition in Section 4.4, the impact of land acquisition and house demolition on the average household income is small. Social insurance has been able to help the affected households to restore their livelihoods and provide long-term livelihood protection. In addition to social insurance, Tianquan County also provides additional skills training opportunities. The content and application requirements for different skills training are different. The project affected people can register to participate according to their own needs and on their free will.

The unit responsible for labor security affairs undertakes the skills training and reemployment of land lost farmers, formulates training programs, sets up training courses, implements a reporting system, and adjusts training plans in a timely manner according to labor needs. With the construction of the development park and the settlement of enterprises, the needs of the part for labors will also increase year by year. In response to the needs of various industries for the skills of workers in various industries, the industrial park management department has formulated a very detailed skills training plan. This plan can not 112

only ensure that the displaced persons affected by the proposed World Bank financed project can learn a skill for living for free after losing land, but will also cover other groups of displaced persons in the non-World Bank financed project area in the industrial park.

In the process of land acquisition and house demolition, Shiyang Town People's Government will collect and summarize the vocational skills training information, and irregularly disclose the information to the affected people through Xincun Village Committee and Xingzhong Village Committee as well as the Village Group Leaders, provide consultations about the training and answer the questions of the affected people. The affected people can register for participation according to their own conditions and needs and on their free will. This work will be carried out by Shiyang Town People's Government and no additional budget will be added.

5) Employment promotion measures

According to analysis and forecast, more than 150 temporary employment opportunities will be generated during the construction and operation stages of this project. About 30% of the employment opportunities require only unskilled workers, which can bring in at least 2200-4000 yuan of income per month. During the implementation and operation of the project, the World Bank Project Office of Tianquan County will ensure that the affected

113

people are given priority in obtaining unskilled employment opportunities, and that the wages are not lower than the average level of the same type of work in the local area.

During project construction, positions such as project design, contract management, and contract supervision require management, engineering, and other staff, including skilled workers (machine operators, electricians, welders, etc.) and unskilled workers (excavators, porters, greening workers). During the operation of the project, the number of workers required for maintenance (greening, cleaning, etc.) of the infrastructure of the emergency refuge square is also large.

The Tianquan project employer requires the construction unit to recruit unskilled workers from the project affected people in priority before entering the construction site and pay the same amount of money for the same work and pay the wages to the affected people in time. This work will be carried out by the Tianquan project employer and no additional budget will be added.

6) Conclusion of resettlement in land acquisition

According to the analysis of the impact of land acquisition in section 4.5 of this report, the income loss caused by land acquisition to the affected households is not significant; according to the above compensation and resettlement policies, the affected households can receive cash compensation, and the land lost farmers can get covered by social security and their livelihood will not be affected the land acquisition of this project.

7.4.2 Resettlement plan for voluntary donation of collectively-owned land

The engineering work within first 200m of the Siyan Township flood discharge channel sub-project (both banks have a total length of about 400m) requires 0.45mu collectively-owned land of Niefenggou Group, Qingjiang Village, Siyan Township, accounting for 3.75% of the total land required for the sub-project and affecting 35 people in 10 households. The average area of land per household affected by the project is only 0.045mu. These collectively-owned land are distributed along the banks of the existing channel. Most of the land is unused, and only a few (about 3.6 square meters) are planted with sporadic standing crops. Because the flood discharge channel has been neglected for many years, the non-smooth flood discharge has led to repeated flooding. The land on both sides of the channel is often submerged or destroyed. Villagers living near the floor discharge channel have also been affected by the flood. The villagers have an urgent need for governance of the floor discharge channel and hope to directly benefit from the project. Therefore, most villagers are willing to donate the land for free.

In November 2019, Siyan Township Government and Qingjiang Village Committee have conducted project publicity, project information disclosure and survey on public willingness among households affected by acquisition of scattered collectively-owned land and conducted a supplementary survey in December 2019. The respondents include 10 households affected by land acquisition, accounting for 100% of the affected households. There are 9 males and 1 female among the respondents. All of them expressed that the land was not leased or transferred to others for management, and there was no dispute over the land. They all stated that they know the project. Nine of them expressed to support the project 114

construction and one said it did not care. Nine of them expressed the willingness to donate the land for construction of the flood discharge channel in case of the project implementation and the other one household (covering a land area of 3.33 square meters) still expected to further negotiate about the compensation for the standing crops on the land while agreeing to donate the land for the project use. The investigation opinions have been signed and confirmed by the affected people. The survey results are detailed in Table 7-3.

According to the experience of similar projects around Lushan County and Siyan Township, the infrastructure for collective public welfare undertakings, such as flood discharge channel and irrigation channels and with small area of land being occupied, after agreement of the most affected households, the work can be carried out on the land provided by the benefited village collective. If the crops planted by the farmers are affected by land use, the affected people will be notified in advance and sufficient time will be provided for them to harvest the crops. If a relatively larger area of self-reserved land or the impact of land occupation is large, the land shall be reallocated within the village collective to ensure that the livelihood of the villagers who donate the land is not affected. No economic compensation will be provided any more and there is no need for land approval.

7.4.3 Resettlement plan for house demolition This project requires demolition of residential houses of 12,632 square meters, affecting 245 persons in 58 households. The rural houses to be demolished have problems of different degrees of incomplete supporting facilities, obsolete structures and poor lighting and ventilation conditions, and poor supporting conditions around the residential sites. This project will provide opportunities for the house-demolished households to improve the living conditions.

1) Eligibility for resettlement

The document stipulates that the family members of the demolished households to enjoy the basic floor area of houses must have the following conditions:

⚫ They must be the member of the land-acquired rural collective economic organization;

⚫ They must be the registered members of the households who are the property right owners with legal permits.

2) Cash compensation

If the house-demolished households voluntarily choose cash compensation, they shall be compensated in a lump sum in accordance with the relevant standards.

3) Property right exchange

The property exchange for the house-demolished households meeting the resettlement conditions shall be implemented according to the following provisions:

(1) The property right is exchanged according to the area ratio of 1:1.2;

(2) If the compensation area is larger than the area of the purchased commercial housing, it shall be settled according to the cash compensation price and the recognized area; if the compensation area is smaller than the area of the purchased commercial housing, the excess part of below 10m2 (inclusive) shall be purchased as per 2,200 yuan/m2 and the excess part of more than 10m2 shall be purchased as per 3,600 yuan/m2.

(3) The resettlement houses shall be construction under unified organization of the county-level people's government according to the specific conditions.

(4) The land for resettlement house shall be allocated.

(5) The construction standards of resettlement houses shall equal to that of commercial residential houses. According to the planning and resettlement needs, multi-storey, small high-rise and high-rise buildings can be built. The water, power and gas supply units shall ensure the water supply, power supply and gas supply and the supporting facilities in the resettlement complex are complete. The design plan shall be examined and provided by the housing and urban-rural development department and shall be implemented after soliciting 117

opinions from the house-demolished households. In terms of site selection of the resettlement houses, the opinions of the house-demolished households shall be fully respected and the municipal facilities such as water, electricity and gas supply shall be fully considered.

(6) There are 4 types of resettlement houses on the basis of floor area, which are 96m2, 105m2, 120m2 and 150m2 each respectively. Tianquan County has planned two resettlement sites, and the house-demolished households can choose suitable resettlement houses according to their own needs.

◼ Basic information of the resettlement site 1

Planned total land area: 21516.95m2; planned total construction area: 84696.68m2; above-ground volumetric construction area: 69066m2; commercial construction area: 2726m2; residential construction area: 66340m2; underground construction area: 15630.68m2; plot ratio: 3.1; building base area: 5872m2; building density: 27.3%; green space rate: 30%; estimated completion time: August 2021; estimated delivery time: August 2021.

◼ Basic information of the resettlement site 2

Planned total land area: 17379.88m2; planned total construction area: 68859.84m2; above-ground volumetric construction area: 56048m2; commercial construction area: 3008m2; residential construction area: 53040m2; underground construction area: 12811.84m2; plot ratio: 3.1; building base area: 5174m2; building density: 29.8%; green space rate: 30%; estimated completion time: March 2022; estimated delivery time: March 2022.

After verification with the Demolition and Compensation Office of Shiyang Town, the 245 persons in 58 households affected by this project meet the resettlement standards. The affected households can choose either property right exchange or cash compensation. After communicating with the affected households, all 58 affected households expressed their choice of property right exchange. The main reasons for choosing the property right exchange are that the location, area and pattern of the resettlement houses are suitable; the resettlement houses are near to their original living place and they are more familiar with the cultural and social environment and thus can keep good bonds with their relatives and friends. Shiyang Town is the key area of future Tianquan County development and the houses, as fixed assets, have the room for appreciation.

4) Transition subsidy

The households choosing property right exchange can get the transition subsidy for 18 months in a lump sum calculated as per 8 yuan/m2 per month from the date of agreement signing.

5) Resettlement for houses without property rights

In accordance with the laws of China, the affected people will not be compensated for the demolition of the house without property rights. But in accordance with the policy requirements of the World Bank, the houses without property rights will be compensated at the market replacement price. It is determined that the cut-off date for identifying the displaced persons and the quantity of physical items impacted by the project is November 30th of 2019. Houses without property rights before this date can be compensated at

118

replacement prices, and those after this date will not be compensated. The streetside business houses at ground floor without land use certificate and house ownership certificate due to historical reasons but have been actually used for business can be recognized as business houses after recognition and announcement of the housing and urban-rural development department, land and resource department, Shiyang Town and the village (community) of the house. Meanwhile, the local resettlement agencies will also strengthen supervision and policy presentation to ensure the problem-solving after full consultation with the affected people.

After re-communication with Shiyang Town Government, there are no houses without property rights within the scope of the project.

6) Survey conclusions of resettlement for house demolition

According to the above-mentioned resettlement and compensation policies, all affected families can obtain new houses in resettlement communities without environmental pollution and superior living conditions, or they can purchase the houses to their satisfaction in the commercial housing market. The living environment and conditions will be greatly improved, and the value of family property will also increase significantly. After investigation on the willingness of the affected people, all 58 affected households expressed their choice of property right exchange. 7.5 Measures for women development In the resettlement process of this project, the rights and interests of women will be fully respected and their important role in socio-economic activities and resettlement processes will be emphasized and fully played. Specific measures taken by this project to promote women's development include:

1) Small secured loan for the women

According to the relevant documents of Tianquan County, Tianquan County will help the eligible urban and rural women to apply for small secured loan, implement the financial discount policy for small secured loans, and solve the fund problems for women's entrepreneurial and employment development. The Tianquan County Women's Federation has, through policy support and guidance, established a flexible employment platform among the government, market, villages and families and formed flexible employment mechanism to promote greater development of flexible employment of women.

2) More job opportunities for women

According to the social assessment report (SA) and social development plan (SDAP), the proportion of women in local labor during the construction of the project is not less than 30%. For jobs with low physical requirements, such as cleaning, cooking, etc., the age requirements should be appropriately relaxed, and priority should be given to the women aged 40 to 50 who have difficulty in finding non-agricultural employment opportunities.

The Tianquan project employer requires the construction unit to implement the above action plan before entering the construction site, pay the same amount of money for the same work regardless of the gender and pay the wages to the peasant-workers in time.

In addition, as the main development area and economic development zone of Tianquan

119

County in the future, Shiyang Town will introduce enterprises which will provide employment opportunities for women, including direct employment opportunities in the secondary industry (such as workers, managers) and indirect employment opportunities in tertiary industry (such as waiters, cleaners, etc.).

3) Women have equal decision-making power in family choice of the resettlement methods

In order to protect women's rights and interests in resettlement activities and play their important role in resettlement, in the implementation stage of resettlement of this project, various resettlement related villagers' conferences and villager group conferences will be held and participation of women in these meeting will be ensured to give their equal right to express their opinions and make decisions. In order to guarantee women's equal rights in resettlement activities, when signing the resettlement agreement, it requires that the agreement should be signed by both the husband and wife of the affected households or both the husband and wife should be present to confirm the agreement at the same time. 7.6 Recovery measures for vulnerable groups Vulnerable groups in this project include disabled persons and poor households. For the vulnerable groups in the traditional sense, the government has formed a complete and effective help system. The specific resettlement measures are as follows:

(1) Assistance policy for poor households

The government includes the poor households into the minimum subsistence system which consists of urban type and rural type. In addition, the land-lost farmers in the project area can enjoy unemployment benefits and endowment insurance benefits after being transformed into urban residents. The detailed standards are described in section 6.4.1.

(2) Assistance policy for disabled persons

1) The "Sunshine Home Plan" of China Disabled Persons' Federation covering the whole country will provide monthly subsidy of 50 yuan per person to the first-level disabled persons; 2) Sichuan Disabled Persons' Federation will provide monthly nursing subsidy of 50-80 yuan per person to the severely disabled persons. 3) The intermediary agencies will be entrusted to offer vocational skills training for disabled persons, such as welders and chefs which are suitable for them.

In addition to the general assistance provided by the state for the vulnerable groups of this project, local government has also taken a series of targeted measures to help them benefit from the project.

(I) For the poor households: the main cause for the poverty of the poor households in this project area is that they are lack of labor skills. Therefore, local government adopted the following measures during the project implementation period.

(1) Providing skill training to them first.

(2) Introducing work opportunities to them first.

(II) For the disabled: local government provides different assistance measures according

120

to whether the disabled can work.

(3) For the disabled who can provide labor service, the government will provide them with jobs as much as possible: not only entrusting the intermediary agencies to offer vocational skills training to them but also providing the positions dispatched by the government, such as cleaners, security guards and storekeepers in the factories in the development zone.

(4) For the disabled without labor capacity, the government has set up rehabilitation and care centers to help them restore their living ability as much as possible.

For the 5 vulnerable households in the project-affected area, the project office has fully communicated with the Shiyang Town government and the affected households to understand thereasons and their expected specific assistance measures. See Table 7-4 for the results.

2. Due diligence on remaining project in Yucheng District

2.1 Scope of due diligence

There are 2 components in Yucheng District. According to the sampling survey on resettlement impact, such components do not involve new land acquisition and demolition within the scope of the project's red line. The construction of the project will inevitably and permanently occupy a total of 108.28 mu of state-owned construction land.The due diligence involves three components in Yucheng District, which are located in Commune 1, Xinyi Village, Beijiao Township for which land acquisition is completed under the Hebei emergency shelter project; Shuijin Village and Jinsha Village in Caoba Town for which land acquisition is completed under the reconstruction project of the emergency evacuation road along Longzhou Road in Yucheng District; and Shunlu Village, Qianjin Village and Longxi Village in Daxing Town for which land acquisition is completed under flood discharge channel works in Daxing Block.

2.2 Review of the impact of land acquisition and demolition and resettlement of the project

2.2.1 Land acquisition process and resettlement of the component

1) The site of Hebei Emergency Shelter Component is located in Commune 1, Xinyi Village, Beijiao Township.The land was approved for acquisition in 2012 due to the construction of the Project of Histories of Xikang (C.F.T[2014]No.1334) and was formally expropriated on June 19, 2014. The acquisition involves 53 land and 223 people from 69 households.17 households are relocated.Land acquisition and demolition is completed for the land.In the same year, registration of urban residents was conducted and social insurance was purchased for all farm population on the land eligible for social insurance purchase according to the Notice of the People's Government of Sichuan Province on Improving Social Security Work for Land-acquired Farmers (C.B.F.[2008]N0.15).The land involves 44.25 mu land in Commune 1, Xinyi Village, Beijiao Township.

2) The reconstruction project of the emergency evacuation road along Longzhou Road in Yucheng District is located in Caobei Town and the road red line crosses Shuijin Village, Jinsha Village, Xinshi Village and Caoba Village in Caoba Town. The project construction involves 36.31 mu land in Shuijin Village and Jinsha Village.The land was expropriated in July 2014 when approved for the construction of automobile manufacturing base in Ya’an of China Hi-tech Group Corporation. The acquisition involves 2654.3 mu land, affecting 1,915 people from 406 households.As of July 2015, registration of urban residents was conducted and social insurance was purchased for all farm population on the land eligible for social insurance purchase according to the Notice of the People's Government of Sichuan Province on Improving Social Security Work for Land-acquired Farmers (C.B. F.[2008]N0.15).

172

3) In the flood discharge channel works for Daxing and Yaoqiao Blocks, the Yaoqiao flood discharge channel has a section extending for 2.5km included in the renovation of flood intercepting channel along North Outer Ring Road; the new 640m section from Zhanqian Business Square to Yijue Blocking occupies 6.72 muland for municipal greening.No acquisition of collectively-owned land is involved.The land for the construction of Daxing Flood Discharge Channel is located in Shunlu Village, Qianjin Village and Longxi Village in Daxing Town.Land of the village is expropriated in batches during 2014 to 2018 due to the construction of North Qianjin Road, Tibetan tea, Flood Discharge Channel in Northern New District and 11-02/07 land projects. The flood discharge channel project in Daxing Block involves 21 mu land.Despite the fact that the land acquisition and compensation is implemented for some land in 2018 as the Project of Tibetan Tea Town is advancing gradually, rural resident registration is completed and social insurance purchase was conducted in advance by law for all farm population on the land eligible for social insurance purchase at the end of 2017 in accordance with the Notice of the People's Government of Sichuan Province on Improving Social Security Work for Land-acquired Farmers (C.B. F.[2008]N0.15), with the requests put forward by Daxing Town, which is included into the integrated land acquisition and relocation area of Yucheng central urban area, for policy on the purchase of social insurance subsidy for the farmers whose land is going to be expropriated in the planning area to the superior department being adopted at the end of 2017 when the social security policy is subject to adjustment.

2.2.2 Demolition process and resettlement of the project

It is found in reviewing the land acquisition process of the project that demolition occurs simultaneously with land acquisition.A comparison between the red line of the project and that of the original land acquisition and demolition suggests that the project involves no additional demolition.See table 2-2 for details of land acquisition and resettlement of the component.

The site of Hebei Emergency Shelter Component is located in Commune 1, Xinyi Village, Beijiao Township.The land was approved for acquisition in 2012 due to the construction of the Project of Histories of Xikang (C.F.T[2014]No.1334) and was formally expropriated on June 19, 2014. The demolition area is 4,297.35m2, with 17 households affected.One of the household reconstructs by itself on a designated land; other households choose cash compensation and the total compensation for house demolition is 20,992,520.99 yuan.The resettlement work is completed and there is no problem remained unsolved.

The reconstruction project of the emergency evacuation road along Longzhou Road in Yucheng District is located in Caobei Town and the road red line crosses Shuijin Village, Jinsha Village, Xinshi Village and Caoba Village in Caoba Town.The land was expropriated in July 2014 when approved for the construction of automobile manufacturing base in Ya'an of China Hi-tech Group Corporation. 1915 people from 406 households are affected.As of January 2016, the resettlement fund for demolition of the project of 480,000,000 is appropriated in full amount and there is no problem remained to be solved.

The land for the construction of Daxing Flood Discharge Channel is located in Shunlu Village, Qianjin Village and Longxi Village in Daxing Town.The demolition, which mainly involves Qianjin Village in Daxing Town, affects 48 households and 19,367.68m2land.As of December 2018, cash compensation had been paid to all relocated households of the component.There is no problem remained to be solved.

2.2.3 Review of resettlement policies and compensation standards

As land acquisition for the three components in Yucheng District occurs between 2014 and 2018, this section briefly reviews the laws and regulations applicable to the three components, so as to ensure that: 1) there is no difference between relevant policies and standards and compensation documents applicable to the project; 2) there is no difference between relevant policies and standards with the World Bank security policy OP4.12.

According to survey, three different compensation and resettlement methods are applicable to the three components, the land acquisition of which takes place in different time and places. These methods are: 1) Compensation and Resettlement Measures for Land Acquisition and Demolition in Urban Planning Area of Ya'an City (Provisional) (Y.B.F.[2010]No.16); 2) Compensation and Resettlement Plan for Land Acquisition and Relocation of the Construction Project of Automobile Manufacturing Base in Ya’an of China Hi-tech Group Corporation (Y.B.F.[2014] No.275); 3) Notice of Ya'an Municipal People's Government on the Releasing of the Compensation and Resettlement Measures for Land Acquisition and Relocation in Central Urban Area of Yucheng District, Ya'an City (Y.F.F.[2015]No.48).Documents of compensation standards for each component are detailed in Table 2-3.

The residual value of house demolition is owned by the demolition agency.

2.2.4 Analysis on the impacts of land acquisition and demolition

Except for the sub-component of flood discharge channel in Yaoqiao Block which uses 6.72 mu existing state-owned land in stock/municipal green land, the component will use state-owned land for construction.Such land was formerly owned by collectives and is transformed into land planned for construction when expropriated successively in 2004 to 2018.The land involves 101.56 mu land in 6 villages/communities in 3 towns/sub-districts, affecting 461 people from 141 households.Statistics on land already expropriated of the component are detailed in Table 2-6

The survey team conducts sampling surveys for 10% affected households with the support of owner of Yucheng Component and all township governments/sub-districts/communities and village committees according to the requirements of the World Bank on sample amount and the actual conditions of the project-affected areas.In the sampling process, the survey team: 1. conducts stratified sampling according to the economic conditions of the affected persons and pay special attention to and conducts survey for vulnerable groups among the affected persons in particular; 2. focuses on the affected villages with land expropriated after December 2016 in sampling;

The 14 affected households have a total population of 58 and an average household population of 4.Among the respondents, 24 are females, accounting for 41.3% of the total; and 34 are labor forces, making up 59%.According to the survey: Young and middle-aged affected persons, regardless of gender, all make a living by working outside; the majority of affected persons above 50 earn income by engaging in industrial work in one half time and farm work in another (those old enough to look for a long-term steady job are inclined to work on a part-time basis to support their family and cultivate land at the same time, to meet their daily vegetable need).

The age distribution of the 58 people from14 households are as follows: no person is bellow 18; 56.7% people have an age of 18-60; 59 are above 60, accounting for 43.3%.Among the investigated households, females take up a slightly higher proportion than males. It is shown by the age statistics and the proportion of the overall labors forces in the total population of the project area that the affected villages are in the period of labor dividend, with the labor population accounting for about half of the total population. Such age structure is conducive to the achievement of the transformation of production modes and skills for making a living of the affected persons.

179

For education background of the respondents, females are almost the same as the males; the phenomenon of females receiving a lower education than the males is not observed.Survey statistics show that 72.3% of the respondents receive an education of junior high school and lower, which is relatively poor. Employment transfer shall be achieved for them to a considerable degree or improvement of production skills and forming of income barrier shall be realized in employment.In future, the government shall provide more frequent and effective labor force training and increase the number of competent education and training agencies.

Household per capita cultivated land area stood at 0.84 mu before land acquisition and is reduced to 0.62 mu after land acquisition. The expropriated land was used for the planting of rice and corn before acquisition. Yucheng District transforms eligible resettlement population into urban residents and includes them into the scope of social security resettlement according to local social security policies and rules after acquisition.Information about land acquisition of persons affected by land acquisition obtained from the survey is detailed in Table 2-7.

It is further learnt that the per capita area of cultivated land in Yucheng District which undergoes land acquisition under various projects is already lower than 0.3mu; land used by the project is not directly expropriated under it, but under other projects; all works except for the square are liner engineering, which exerts very limited influences on each household;

It is understood by discussion meeting for villagers/secretaries of the villages that such villages/communities are included in the scope of central urban area of districts/counties through several years of development. The majority of households are transformed into urban population in the land acquisition process. Their main household income has changed from farm work to migrant work through social security resettlement, labor skill training provided on an on-going basis every year and development and improvement of surrounding industries. And they earn a significantly higher family income than before when they are engaged in agricultural work.See table 2-8 for details.According to statistics and analysis of the survey, the total annual family income of 14 investigated households before land acquisition is 175,000 yuan, among which 113,750 are labor and business income, which accounts for 65% of the total income; agricultural income is 17,500, taking up 10%; other income is 43,750 yuan, accounting for 25%.

So far, the total annual family income of 14 investigated households is 242,200 yuan, including business income of 174,380 yuan and, agricultural income of 0 yuan and other income of 67,820yuan, which account for 72%, 0% and 28% respectively.Labor and business income, other income and total family income have increased by 53%, 55% and 38% respectively.

According to the survey

1) The majority of houses owned by the rural residents have brick-wood and earth-wood structure and long history. With the development of city planning, such regions, which are included into the central urban areas of various districts and counties, enjoy favorable location of busy downtown area with convenient transportation and supporting surrounding facilities such as schools and hospitals gradually improved.Current resettlement results suggest that both the interior environment and external supporting facilities of the houses are significantly improved compared with those before demolition.

2) Altogether, 14 relocated households (sampling proportion: 10%) are investigated in the due diligence. According to the interview with the relocated households, such households are familiar with the demolition compensation plan and compensation

183 standards and have extensively participated in the survey on physical amount and confirmation of compensation plan.All relocated households have signed the demolition agreement and agreed to house demolition.There's no coercive demolition behavior in the demolition process.All of the 14 households interviewed are satisfied with the compensation standards, resettlement implementation process, and resettlement plan of the project.

2.2.5 Issues requiring further attention

According to the sampling survey on resettlement impact for each component, the compensation for land acquisition and house demolition involved by components in Yucheng District has been almost paid, while the following unsolved problems deserve continual attention of the resettlement work.

1、There are lots of woods on the land of the Hebei Emergency Shelter Site Project of Yucheng District remained to be cleared. It is understood by investigation that the ownerships of such trees are made clear and compensation for the trees have been paid (see Annex 1-15 for details of compensation and resettlement agreement). They are to be removed before the entering of construction unit.

2、Though the reconstruction project of the emergency evacuation road along Longzhou Road in Yucheng District involves no land acquisition or house demolition, the construction will have temporary influences on residents and shops along the road as the road construction affects Chang Town. Therefore, such construction shall be included in the Social Development Action Plan and monitoring shall be conducted for it at later times;

3、Although land acquisition has been completed successively for Shunlu Village, Qianjin Village and Longxi Village in Daxing Town where the Flood Discharge Channel Project in Daxing Block are located during 2014 to 2018, some residents still plant crops on odd pieces of land as no project construction actually starts. Hence, consultation shall be made with such residents for the crops to be fully removed before the entrance of the construction unit.

3.2.5 Issues requiring further attention

According to the field survey along the site of the flood discharge channel, the component of Chengnan Flood Intercepting Ditch of the project in Yingjing County is to reconstruct the existing channel, which does not involve land acquisition and demolition, but will have the impact of temporary land occupation during the construction, which is expected to affect 11.98 mu of land, 43 households and 102 people. See Table 3-8 for physical statistics.

According to the on-the-spot investigation, the temporary land occupation of Chengnan flood intercepting ditch component of Yingjing project affects Qingren village and Qinghua village in Yandao town. According to the investigation of the social and economic conditions of the two villages, the per capita arable land of the two villages is less than 0.3 mu.The villagers' agricultural income in the two villages is relatively low. The main source of income for families is the income of migrant workers, and the crops scattered along the ditch are basically used to realize food self-sufficiency.In addition, the temporary land occupation area of the component is small (0.27 mu / household in Qingren Village and 0.29 mu / household in Qinghua Village), and agricultural losses are not significant.The compensation rate for standing crops in Yingjing County is implemented according to the provision of the document Y.F.H.[2002] No.97 of Ya'an City, which is 1,000 yuan/mu/year for the standing crops planted in May to September and 900 yuan/mu/year for the standing crops planted in October to April.According to the standard of compensation for standing crops, the compensation for temporary land occupation is 11,980 yuan.

According to the screening of resettlement impacts, no new land acquisition and demolition is required within the scope of the flood discharge canal in Siyan Town, Lushan County, river embankment and revetment of Xichuan River, river embankment of Lushan River, and emergency shelter square in Siyan Town, Lushan County. The project construction will inevitably and permanently occupy a total of 109.69 mu of state-owned land, including 41.54 mu of state-owned construction land and 68.15 mu of land within the scope of river management.The flood discharge channel component of Siyan Town requires the use of 0.45 mu of collective land, which is donated by the affected people free of charge.The scope of due diligence covers the following villages and groups: 1) all villages and groups that have completed land acquisition, i.e. Fanjiasi Community and Xianfeng Community of Luyang Sub-district (formerly Luyang Town); Sanjiangkou Group, Jinghe group, Qianhouba Group and Niefenggou Group of Qingjiang Village, Siyan town (formerly Siyan Township); 2) villages and groups covered by the land within the scope of river management, namely, Xueqianjie Housing Estate in Chengbei Community in Luyang Sub-district; Shaba Housing Estate in Chengxi Community, Xishuiba Housing Estate, Anju Housing Estate, Xixiaojie Housing Estate, and Panjiahe Housing Estate.

4.2Review of the impact of land acquisition and demolition and resettlement of the project

4.2.1 Land acquisition process and resettlement of the project

The channel component of Qingjiang Village involves the Sanjiangkou Group, Jinghe Group, Qianqiuba Group, and Niefenggou Group of Qingjiang Village, Siyan Township, covering a total area of 11.99 mu, of which 11.54 mu is state-owned land and 0.45 mu is collective land.The above-mentioned land was acquired in batches in May 2014 according to the official documents of C.F.T. [2014] No. 1040, C.F.T. [2014] No.215, C.F.T. [2014] 232, and C.F.T.

4.2.3Description of voluntary donation of collective land for construction of flood discharge channel in Siyan town

The engineering work within first 200m of the Siyan Township flood discharge channel component (both banks have a total length of about 400m) requires 0.45mu collective land of Niefenggou Group, Qingjiang Village, Siyan Township, accounting for 3.75% of the total land required for the component and affecting 35 people in 10 households. The average area of land per household affected by the project is only 0.045mu.The collective land is distributed along the banks of the existing channel. Most of the land is unused, and only a few (about 0.005 mu) is planted with sporadic standing crops.Because the flood discharge channel has been neglected for many years, the unsmooth flood discharge has led to repeated flooding. The land on both sides of the channel is often submerged or destroyed. Villagers living near the floor discharge channel have also been affected by the flood. The villagers have an urgent need for governance of the floor discharge channel and hope to directly benefit from the project. Therefore, most villagers are willing to donate the land for free.

In November 2019, Siyan Township Government and Qingjiang Village Committee have conducted project publicity, project information disclosure and survey on public opinions among households affected by acquisition of scattered collectively-owned land and conducted a supplementary survey in December 2019.The survey included all 10 households affected by land acquisition, and the survey proportion was 100%, including 9 males and 1 female.All of them expressed that the land was not leased or transferred to others for management, and there was no dispute over the land.They all stated that they know the project.Nine of them expressed to support the project construction and one said it did not care.Nine of them expressed the willingness to donate the land for construction of the flood discharge channel in case of the project implementation and the other one household (covering a land area of 3.33 square meters) still expected to further negotiate about the compensation for the standing crops on the land while agreeing to donate the land for the project use.The investigation opinions have been signed and confirmed by the affected people.See Table 4-2 for details of the questionnaire.

206

According to the experience of similar projects around Lushan County and Siyan Township, the infrastructure for collective public welfare undertakings, such as flood discharge channel and irrigation channels and with small area of land being occupied, after agreement of the most affected households, the work can be carried out on the land provided by the benefited village collective.If the crops planted by the farmers are affected by land use, the affected people will be notified in advance and sufficient time will be provided for them to harvest the crops. If a relatively larger area of self-reserved land or the impact of land occupation is large, the land shall be reallocated within the village collective to ensure that the livelihood of the villagers who donate the land is not affected. No economic compensation will be provided anymore and there is no need for land approval.

4.2.4 Demolition process and resettlement of the project

According to on-site investigations and interviews with important persons in the know, the plots involved in the emergency shelter square component are all cultivated land, and no demolition of houses is required on the plots.

The scope of building lines of the channel component in Qingjiang Village covers 30 households in Sanjiangkou Group, Jinghe Group, Qianxiangba Group and Niefenggou Group of Qingjiang Village in Siyan township. The relocation started in May 2014, and the compensation and resettlement have been completed in accordance with the compensation standard specified in L.F.B. [2013] No. 67 document. The resettlement method is housing resettlement (land resettlement), of which the houses are constructed jointly by all private land owners on the same land (self-built housing). By the end of 2015, the 30 households have been relocated. After the completion of reconstruction, it is confirmed by the people's Government of Siyan town through field investigation that all 30 relocated households are not within the scope of building lines of the channel component in Qingjiang Village.

4.2.5 Review of resettlement policies and compensation standards

The land acquisition and demolition of the emergency shelter square component occurred in 2009. With reference to the earlier compensation standards for land acquisition and demolition, it was found through reviewing the materials of the land acquisition agreement and the fund allocation certificate that the land acquisition compensation standards for the plot were basically the same.The main basis of compensation policy for the implementation of land acquisition for the channel component in Qingjiang Village is as follows: Notice (L.F.B. [2013] No. 67) of Lushan County People's Government Office on printing and distributing six methods, such as "Measures for Compensation of Collective Land Acquisition and House Demolition in the Planning Area of Lushan County after the "4.20" Strong Earthquake" (L.F.B. [2013] No. 67); the document stipulates that the compensation rate for cultivated land (including contracted land, private plot, garden plot and rural homestead) shall be 31500 yuan / mu;

209 and the compensation rate for other types of land (including forest land, additional farmland, etc.) shall be 15750 yuan / mu. The compensation rate for cultivated landoutside the planning area of the county (including contracted land, private plot, garden plot and rural homestead) shall be 29360 yuan / mu; and the compensation rate for other types of land (including forest land, additional farmland, etc.) shall be 14680 yuan / mu.See Table 4-3 for the compensation standard.

It should be noted that this standard is applicable to the same standard as the project currently under implementation, and there is no difference.

4.2.6 Issues requiring further attention

According to the due diligence of the two components of the emergency shelter square and the flood discharge channel in Qingjiang Village, it is believed that there exist two issues that need further explanation and continuous attention:

1. The main body of the Lushan River Embankment Component in Lushan County is located within the management scope of Lushan River, and does not involve additional land acquisition.However, in order to prevent waterlogging, the land after the completion of the river embankment component will be backfilled. The construction may involve temporary land occupation. It is estimated that 13.93 mu of land will be temporarily occupied, affecting 78 people in 21 households.All temporarily occupied land is located in Panjiahe Housing Estate, Chengxi Community, Luyang Sub-district.This part of the temporary land occupation will be included in the project resettlement monitoring for further attention.

2. The construction of the Xichuan River Embankment and Slope Protection 210

Component would affect some villagers who cultivated odd pieces of land to plant vegetables within the scope of the river channel.The Housing and Construction Bureau of Lushan County will issue a notice before the implementation of the project to remind villagers to harvest standing crops in advance and prohibit planting within the building lines of the project.If it is impossible to harvest due to the limitation of time, the Housing and Construction Bureau of Lushan County will fully communicate and negotiate with the affected people, and provide compensation for the standing crops by consensus.

4.3 Resettlement implementing organizations of the project in Lushan County

According to the due diligence, Lushan County has set up a land acquisition and demolition office for the project. The resettlement implementing organizations at all levels are mainly composed of administrative personnel and professional technical personnel, who are equipped with certain level of expertise and management ability, and have considerable experience in land acquisition.At the same time, the village and cooperative are also equipped with corresponding staff with experience in land acquisition to assist in land acquisition, especially to organize public consultation activities.

The implementing organizations of land acquisition and demolition of the Lushan County Component mainly include the Natural Resources Bureau of Lushan County (formerly Lushan County Bureau of Land Resources), the People's Government of Luyang Sub-district (formerly Luyang Town), the People's Government of Siyan Town (formerly Siyan Township), and village (neighborhood) committees of affected villages (communities). The Lushan County Bureau of Land Resources shall be responsible for the preliminary investigation, compensation and application for approval of land acquisition of the project.The compensation for land acquisition shall be done in accordance with the law and regulations to ensure that the compensation for land acquisition is used exclusively for land acquisition and not be used for other purposes.Luyang Sub-district (formerly Luyang Town) People's Government shall be responsiblefor the implementation of land acquisition and demolition. A land acquisition coordination group has been set up. Its main duties include: participating in the physical survey of the project; organizing the public to participate and publicizing resettlement policies; implementing, inspecting, monitoring and recording of all resettlement activities within the village; being responsible for payment and management of land compensation funds; supervising land acquisition; reporting the progress of land acquisition and resettlement to municipal and county land and resources bureau and resettlement management office; and coordinating and handling contradictions and problems in work.The village (neighborhood) committees of Qingjiang Village and Xianfeng Community affected by the land acquisition of the project have special land acquisition teams to assist the resettlement.The resettlement working group is composed of the main cadres of the village committee and villager's group.The main duties of the working group includes participating in the physical quantity impact survey of the project; organizing public consultation activities and publicizing land

211 acquisition policies; organizing and implementing agricultural and non-agricultural production resettlement and other activities; being responsible for fund management and allocation; reporting opinions and suggestions on resettlement and the progress to the relevant departments at superior level; convening village meetings; and providing assistance to households in need.

In order to effectively strengthen the management of World Bank loans, vigorously promote project construction and improve the use efficiency of World Bank loans, Lushan County has established a project leading group.The list of the leading group is shown in the following table:

5 Due diligence on resettlement of the project in Tianquan

County

5.1 Scope of due diligence

According to the screening of resettlement impact, the construction of Chama Emergency Shelter Square in Tianquan County will inevitably and permanently occupy 38.06 mu of state-owned construction land.Of the total land occupied, 9.21 mu is for the upgrading and reconstruction of the existing square, and 28.85 mu comes from the existing state-owned land, which has obtained the state-owned land use right certificate.The scope of due diligence covers Zhengxi Community, Chengxiang Town, Tianquan County.

5.2 Land use of the component

The Chama Shelter Square Component covers Zhengxi Community, Chengxiang Town, Tianquan County, which occupied existing state-owned land, and the land acquisition was completed before 2000.Among them, 9.21 mu of land belong to the existing Chama Square. The Land and Resources Bureau of Tianquan County issued the "Description of the Land Use of Chama Square", stating that the land occupied by the project has been purchased and reserved by the government since 2005-2006.When the original plot was purchased, there were no building structures. Hence, no demolition is required.The remaining 28.85 mu of land is the stock of state-owned construction land. The original state-owned land use right certificate was issued by the People's Government of Tianquan County in January 2004. All land use rights have been recovered in 2014 in accordance with T.F.H. [2014] No. 105 document.

Land certification documents, such as the description of the land use of the Chama Square, the original state-owned land use right certificate, etc. are detailed in the annex.

5.3 Issues requiring further attention

According to the visit to the project site, there are still a 214m2 temporary shed and a 402.8m2 temporary building on the project site.The temporary shed, which is set up by the construction organization when constructing the government office building, is currently used for temporary storage of some idle building materials.The temporary building is the former real estate sales center (the real estate sales center was constructed by the owner on a borrowed land; the building shall be demolished and the land shall be returned after the completion of real estate sales) of the "Century Hualian Commercial Plaza" and is currently vacant.None of the two temporary buildings is inhabited or used. The Housing and Construction Bureau of Tianquan County will notify the relevant organizations to demolish the temporary buildings before the project starts.

214

6 Conclusions, problems and suggestions

6.1Conclusion of due diligence on resettlement

Yucheng District, Yingjing County, Lushan County and Tianquan County of Ya'an City actively invested the savings of World Bank loans into the construction of urban post-disaster infrastructure recovery and reconstruction to further improve the urban drainage function, enhance the urban flood prevention and rescue system, and increase the comprehensive disaster prevention capability of the city.Main content of the project includes river embankment and flood discharge channel project, renovation and construction project of emergency rescuing and shelter roads, and construction project of new emergency shelter square. According to the on-site survey conducted for all components that the World Bank-Financed Interim Adjustment Project for post-Lushan Earthquake Municipal Infrastructure Recovery and Reconstruction involves based on the building lines for construction provided in the feasibility study report, the project will permanently occupy 389.99 mu land in Yucheng District, Yingjing County, Tianquan County and Lushan County of Ya'an City, including 309.68 mu state-owned land and 80.31 mu collective land.The new land acquisition affects 160 households and 598 people.A total of 12.632 square meters of new residential houses were demolished, affecting 58 households and 245 persons.The resettlement has impact on 19 villages (communities) in 8 townships (sub-districts) in 4 districts and counties.The following are the conclusions of due diligence on resettlement:

1. Scope of due diligence

The screening on resettlement impact of all components suggest that the project occupies a total of 309.68 mu of state-owned land / existing construction land.For the use of existing land that has been acquired and demolished, due diligence on resettlement is required.The scope of due diligence covers the following 15 villages/communities in 4 districts/counties, including Xinyi Village in Beijiao Town, and Shuijin Village and Jinsha Village in CaobaTown, Shunlu Village, Qianjin Village and Longxi Village in Daxing Town, and Yaoqiao Community in Yaoqiao Town of Yucheng District;Shucai Village, Chengzhong Community and Xinnan Commumnity in Yandao Town of Yingjing County; Xianfeng Community, Chengxi Community in Luyang Sub-district (former Luyang Town), Qingjiang Village in Siyan Town (former Siyan township) of Lushan County and Zhenggxi Community in Chengxiang Town of Tiqnquan County.

2. Impact of land acquisition and demolition

The construction land that has been acquired and reserved by the project is collective land, which has been transformed into planned construction land after successive acquisitions from 2004 to 2018.The acquisition occupies 170.01 mu of land in 9 villages /

218 communities in 6 townships / sub-districts.A total of 312 households was affected, with a population of 1,028.In terms of the number of households affected by the land acquisition area, the average land loss per household is 0.63 mu.

According to the due diligence review of the above-mentioned land acquisition process, in addition to land acquisition, house demolition is also required in the following areas, including Xinyi Village of Beijiao Township involved in the project of Hebei emergency shelter square in Yucheng District, Shuijin Village and Jinsha Village of Caoba Town involved in the reconstruction project of the emergency evacuation road along Longzhou Road, Qianjin Village of Daxing Town involved in the project of Daxing flood discharge channel, Chengzhong Community of Yandao Town involved in the construction of Yingjing riverside shelter square, and Qingjiang Village of Siyan Township involved in the drainage channel project of Lushan County.The land for other projects has been confirmed to be only cultivated land, and demolition is not required in the process of land acquisition.The acquisition occupies 95,924.9 square meters of land in 6 villages / communities in 5 townships / sub-districts. A total of 366 households were affected, with a population of 1,408.

3. Progress of land acquisition, demolition and resettlement

According to the due diligence on these lands, except for the minor land acquisition for the flood discharge channel project in Daxing Block of Yucheng District in 2018, the rest of the land acquisition was completed before December 2009-2016. The affected households of land acquisition in each county and district have fully received the compensation for land acquisition and subsidies for standing crops, and their resettlement in relation to social securities was also completed between 2015 and 2017.

The house demolition of 366 households was carried out at the same time as land acquisition, and their resettlement have completed through land transfer and self construction (31 households, accounting for 8.4%), government construction and house replacement (55 households, accounting for 15%) and cash compensation (280 households, accounting for 76.5%).According to the site visit, these demolished households have been resettled without any remaining problems.

4. Evaluation of resettlement measures and policies

The resettlement measures for land acquisition, demolition and resettlement on the existing land of the project are comprehensive and include cash compensation, endowment insurance resettlement for land-acquired farmers, and employment and training, which have been implemented.

In terms of resettlement measures, the land-acquired households of the project cannot only obtain one-time cash compensation, but also can obtain long-term sustainable sources of living due to the improvement of social security and employment guidance, ensuring

219 that their living standards will recover to the standard at least not lower than before the land acquisition; the relocated households of the project can choose at their own will cash compensation or house resettlement. Before the resettlement, they will receive the subsidies for transition and moving, and the overall living environment of the resettled housing estate will be much better than before the relocation.These measures have ensured that the living standards of the displaced persons are not lower than those before the land acquisition and house demolition, and are consistent with the World Bank's general goal of resettlement.

5. Income recovery of affected persons

In the towns / communities where land acquisition is carried out, the per capita land loss is 0.7 mu according to the amount of cultivated land in the year of land acquisition. After multiple land requisitions for various projects, the per capita cultivated land is already below 0.3 mu; the land used for this project does not comes from direct land acquisition but from the land acquired by other projects. Except for the land used for square construction, the rest are all linear projects, and the impact on land acquisition of each household is very small. According to the discussion of the village head / secretary of these village groups, after several years of development, the above villages / communities are within the central urban area of the district / county. Most farmers have been changed from rural residents to urban residents during the land acquisition process. Through social security resettlement and continuous labor skills training, and the development and improvement of surrounding industries, their main source of household income has long been changed from farming to working. By comparing and analyzing the income and expenditure of the surveyed households before and after land acquisition, it can be found that the household income and per capita net income of the surveyed relocated households after land acquisition and resettlement are higher than before the land acquisition. This reflects that the total income and living standard of relocated households after land acquisition and resettlement have generally recovered and been improved, and the household income structure has also been improved.

6. Implementing organizations

In the implementation of resettlement, each district / county has set up a special land acquisition and resettlement leading group to take charge of the project's acquisition and demolition.The staff of the PMO and the implementing organizations of land acquisition and demolition are rich in experience; the staff of the resettlement organizations are well appointed and of strong abilities, and are familiar with policies and regulations related to land acquisition; they have rich experience in land acquisition and resettlement and can effectively implement the policies and fulfill their responsibilities.

7. Public consultation and complaints and grievances

In the whole process of resettlement, all districts / counties can strictly implement

220 public consultation and democratic decision-making system. In the process of benefit distribution of great consequence, including the distribution of land acquisition funds and the purchase of social insurance for land-acquired farmers, public consultation activities have been conducted efficiently and the demands of the public have been fully addressed. The due diligence team believes that the mechanisms of public consultation and grievances and complaints of this project have played an effective role in the resettlement process.

8. Community integration

All counties and districts have established effective working mechanisms and security institutions for compensation for land acquisition and relocation. They have implemented comprehensive compensation for all objects involved in land acquisition and relocation, and have established effective channels dealing with and surveying on people's demands in a timely manner. In the process of land acquisition and relocation, the people live and work in peace and contentment. In recent years, there have been no group instability events and major remaining problems.The relocated households are local residents, and they will be relocated in the original site. The other residents living in the resettled housing estate are relocated households who used to live in the neighborhood, so there will be no problem of community integration.

Annex 3-7 Transcription of interview with important insiders

Interview 1: Chen Ying, Director of Xianfeng Community of Luyang Sub-district Now, the plot we plan to build the shelter square is the "land acquisition project of plots 3, 4 and 5 of Fanjiasi Community" started in 2009, with a total land 276

acquisition area of 41 mu.The acquisition affects 93 households.Announcement of land requisition was issued in July-August 2009, and compensation for land requisition was completed in 2009.For the resettlement households who met the conditions for the purchase of social security, they were all included in the scope of social security list at that time.Some people chose not to buy social insurances. In the end, 56 people purchased social security. The rumor that no person was allowed to purchase social insurance or that there was a limit number of people allowed to purchase social insurance was not true. Currently, 90 households have signed land acquisition agreements and received compensation. The remaining 3 households are actually two households.Among them, Huang Mingzhi (4 family members), who has been acquired 0.65 mu of land, has lived in Chengdu for a long time, had not returned to Lushan for many years, and had no record of appeals. The reason why he/she was unwilling to receive compensation for land acquisition and subsidy for resettlement is that he/she did not purchase social security in that year. Now he/she hopes that he/she can purchase social security, but he/she is unable to purchase due to the current policy restrictions. Hu Jun and Fan Wei belong to one household. The two families consist of 9-10 people in total, with 1.68 mu of land acquired. They did not cultivate the land, and their main source of income came from working. They have not accepted land acquisition compensation and resettlement subsidies for many years, and have no record of appeals, indicating that they are unwilling to have their land acquired. The community has contacted the two households for several times and maintained continuous communication. Through interviews with them, it has been learned that they are willing to support the project and think that building a square here is very good, which is conducive to improving the surrounding environment. However, further discussions on compensation issues are still required. Interview 2: Xie Bin, Secretary of Party Committee of Siyan Town In October 2013, the main part of the land for flood discharge channel in Siyan Town was acquired due to the initiation of Modern Ecological Agriculture Demonstration Park Project in Lushan County. At that time, 1069 mu of land was acquired.The land acquisition was started in October 2013 and ended in May 2014, affecting 350 households.In addition, land acquisition affects the house demolition of 30 households at the same time. The resettlement methods are land-based resettlement. All of them moved into new houses at the end of 2015.Social security resettlement for land acquisition continued from 2015 to 2017.The quotas for purchasing social security are sufficient. About 80% of the affected people have voluntarily purchased social security, while others have given up for personal reasons or have previously purchased in other companies.
