1. Preface

Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project (hereinafter referred to as “The Project”), a ADB loan project (loan number: 1850-PRC ), starts from the East Ganzhou Station of -Kowloon Railway, and meets Zhanglong Railway at Longyan Station after passing through Ganzhou City in Jiangxi Province and Longyan City in Fujian Province.The newly built railway is 290.1 kilometers in length (132.3 kilometers in Jiangxi Province and 157.8 kilometers in Fujian Province). The construction was started on December 8, 2001, and the railway was open to cargo transportation on April 1, 2005, and to passenger service on October 11, 2005. Its formal operation was initiated in January 2006, and its domestic inspection and acceptance are planned to be conducted in the second half of the year 2007.

The resettlement work for Ganzhou-Longyan railway project began in November 2001, and most of it was finished by the end of 2003. From September 19 to September 22, an inspection group from ADB conducted a field inspection along the Ganzhou-Longyan Railway line checking various aspects including resettlement work, and asked the external monitoring agency to submit a “post-resettlement evaluation report” and an “impact on poverty evaluation report” in accordance with the requirements stipulated by the loan agreement of the Project.

During the period from July 2 to 16, 2007 the post-resettlement evaluation group from the Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization (the external monitoring agency for the resettlement work of the Project) of Southwest Jiaotong University carried out its evaluation mission along the Ganzhou-Longyan railway line. The field evaluation plan was worked out by the post-evaluation group in conformity with the requirements set in the ADB memorandum. Supported by the owners of projects and the local governments, the evaluation group captured a holistic view of the total situation of construction, land acquisition, demolition, relocation and resettlement, the compensation standards for land acquisition, demolition and relocation, the allocation of funds, and the implementation of the resettlement plan by interviewing the affected people, holding meetings and through field observation. The evaluation group has given an objective and fair evaluation on the basis of extensively seeking of the comments and suggestions from the relocated people, careful verification of the relocated people’s recovery of production and living conditions against the Resettlement Action Plan. In the whole process of field evaluation investigation, the field evaluation group paid special attention to the recovery of the productive and living conditions of the respondents interviewed during the stage of baseline survey.

In the whole process of post-resettlement evaluation, including the preparation phase, The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 5 ADB Loan Project

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project field survey phase and report compilation phase, Railway Administration, the Key Projects Office of Ganzhou City of Jiangxi Province, the Railway Construction Supporting Office of Longyan City of Fujian Province and all the local governments along the Ganzhou-Longyan Railway line lended constant support to the post-resettlement evaluation group. We hereby extend our sincere thanks to them all.

2. A Summary of Resettlement Evaluation Reports

In accordance with the established requirements of the Project, in April 2002, the external monitoring agency submitted to the owner of the Project and Asian Development Bank “The Baseline Survey Report of 350 Sample Households for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project”. In April 2003 the evaluation group submitted “The External Resettlement Monitoring Report Phase One for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project”. In May 2004 the evaluation group submitted “The External Resettlement Monitoring Report Phase Two for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project”. And in May 2005 “The Report on the Completion of Resettlement for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project” was submitted. It is by means of those reports that the external monitoring agency reported to the project owner and Asian Development Bank the process of resettlement and the recovery of the productive and living conditions of the people affected by Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project.

2.1 The External Monitoring Report on the First Phase Resettlement

According to the plan of the project, the land acquisition, demolition and relocation for the railway construction involve 2 prefectures, 8 counties/districts and 29 towns in Jiangxi and Fujian. The 8 counties/districts are Ganxian County, , and Ruijin City in Ganzhou City, and , Liancheng County, Shanghang County and Xinluo District in Longyan City. The total scale of land acquisition, demolition, relocation and resettlement encompasses permanently acquired land of 15,254 mu, temporarily used land of 3,000 mu, demolition and relocation of buildings of 459,972m2, and 19,337 affected people.

The phase one external monitoring report reflects the state of resettlement work by the end of December 2002 when the large scale land acquisition, demolition, relocation, resettlement and compensation work began. By that time, the total area of land acquired was 13,710 mu, accounting for 89.88% of the planned figure; the land acquired for temporary use numbered 2,863 mu, accounting for 95.64% of the planned figure; The relocated households numbered 2,413 with 351,799m2 of buildings demolished, accounting for 63.64% of the plan. In Jiangxi the land permanently acquired was 6735.991 mu in area while the land acquired for temporary use was 1009.758 mu. The demolition amounted to 218,717.34m2 involving 1530 households. In Fujian the land permanently acquired was 6,974.04 mu in area while

The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 6 ADB Loan Project

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project the land acquired for temporary use was 1,853.058 mu. The demolition amounted to 133081.7 m2 involving 883 households.

By the time when phase one external monitoring was being conducted, to accomplish the tasks of land acquisition, demolition, relocation and resettlement, the Ganzhou municipal government of Jiangxi Province had established its railway construction supporting office, and Longyan City of Fujian Province also had established its railway construction headquarters. At the same time, the two cities had set up railway construction supporting offices in all the counties and townships along the railway line to undertake the land acquisition, demolition, relocation and resettlement work.

(1) The policy and standards for land acquisition, demolition, relocation, compensation and resettlement for the Project, which serve as the legal guidelines for compensation and resettlement, were formulated on the basis of the relevant policies and legal regulations of Chinese government.

(2) To ensure the openness and transparency of the resettlement policy, the resettlement departments at all levels informed the affected people of the resettlement policy and plan by various means, such as meetings of all levels, newspapers, television, and the resettlement brochure.

(3)The resettlement departments at all levels, by formulating sound rules and regulations, ensured that the compensation for land acquisition was allocated according to the publicized standards to the affected villages, which would then determine the distribution and uses of the compensation for land acquisition. At the same time, those resettlement departments also ensured that the compensation for demolition and relocation was allocated in time and in batches to the affected households in form of bankbooks.

(4) Most of the villages redistributed the land among the villagers to enable the villagers whose land had been acquired to resume their original mode of living with their familiar mode of production. All the relocated households got their homesteads for new houses free of charge through either concentrated resettlement or scattered resettlement.

(5) Besides the affected rural residents, the relocated enterprises and schools along the railway line were also compensated and rebuilt.

(6) All local governments took appropriate care of the families encountering special difficulties, such as the families of old people, sick people and women as well as poor families. The special support for such difficult families was given in forms of special subsidy, labor support for the occasions of demolition and rebuilding, and other flexible assistance. Most of the villages gained income from taking part in excavation and transportation of earth, and from supplying building materials such as sand and gravel to the railway construction organizations.

2.2 Phase Two External Resettlement Monitoring Report

Phase two external monitoring report reflects the resettlement work by the end of April 2004 when most of the work for land acquisition, demolition and relocation had been finished, and the construction of infrastructure in the late period of the project, such as the rebuilding of channels and roads, recovery of water supply aimed for the recovery of production and living facilities had been completed. Most the people affected by land acquisition had received their new cultivated land through land redistribution; most of the relocated households had been given free housing sites and had built their new houses except very few households that had some special requirements. For example, as the households relocated from the site for Yudu railway station insisted on being resettled around the square of Yudu station, they waited through a transitional period. Most of the relocated enterprises and schools had been rebuilt, and the enterprises had resumed their production. The land acquired for the construction of railway numbered 13,981.85 mu, accounting for 91.66% of the planned figure; the demolished houses added up to 458,739m2, accounting for 99.79% of the plan. In Jiangxi Province the land acquired amounted to 6894.85 mu (Paddy field and irrigated field added up to 3059.073 mu, accounting for 44.37%; dry field amounted to 305.4741 mu, accounting for 4.43%; orchards amounted to 820.36mu, accounting for 11.90%; other farming land amounted to 1695.894mu, accounting for 24.6%; land for residential quarters, factories and mines numbered 377.614, accounting for 5.48%; other non-cultivated land amounted to 636.449mu, accounting for 9.23%.) Land acquired for temporary use numbered 2,150mu; A total of 1,586 households were relocated, and the total area of demolished houses added up to 293739.405m2, of which 68875.341 m2 is contributed by brick-concrete houses, accounting for 23.45%; 28359.231 m2 is contributed by brick-tile houses, accounting for 9.65%; 158688.925m2 goes to earth-wood houses, accounting for 54.02%; 37815.908 m2 was contributed by simple houses, accounting for 12.87%. Besides, the demolished buildings of schools and enterprises amounted to 15823.9m2. The railway construction authority had paid a total compensation of 165.9 million yuan, of which 5.51588 million yuan had allocated for land acquisition compensation; 7.513928 million yuan for land for temporary use; 69.657116 million yuan for house demolition compensation; 1.42 million yuan for enterprise relocation; 32.162 million yuan for other demolition and relocation as well as compensation for standing crops and attachments. In Fujian Province 7,087mu of land was acquired for permanent use; the demolished houses amounted to 165000m2; land for earth fetching and dumping amounted to 1,421mu; the remaining fragmentary pieces of land outside the red line amounted to 133mu; The land for river-diversion and channel-diversion added up to 235mu; 464mu of irrigated field was turned into dry field; 340mu of standing crops were compensated. The total compensation for land acquisition, demolition and relocation amounted to 122.59million yuan, of which 56.7 million was allocated as compensation for land acquisition; 36.11 million yuan allocated as compensation for house demolition and relocation; 8.64million yuan allocated for the removal of structures; 8.64 million yuan for other agreed compensations; 7.95million yuan for earth fetching and dumping land; 1.06million yuan for compensation for the remaining fragmentary pieces of land outside the red line; 1.88 million yuan for diversion of rivers and channels; 1.42 million yuan for turning irrigated The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 8 ADB Loan Project

2.3 Report on the Completion of Resettlement

The report on the completion of resettlement is the summary document on the external resettlement monitoring evaluation for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project, reflecting the holistic situation of the land acquisition, demolition, relocation and resettlement work before Ganzhou-Longyan Railway is put into operation.

By April 2005 the land acquisition for railway construction had involved 29 towns and townships, and 150 administrative villages. Within the boundary of 8 counties 14,336mu of land was acquired for permanent use; 3589mu of land was acquired for temporary use; the demolished houses amounted to 491,892m2; the affected farming households numbered 2,576, and the affected people totaled 18,300; altogether 14 schools were demolished and relocated and 22 enterprises were affected. To compensate for various impacts caused by land acquisition, building demolition and relocation, in all, the owner of the Project paid 311.58273 million yuan to the affected parties in forms of various compensations, of which 114.690637million yuan was allocated to compensate for land acquisition, 128.799295 million yuan was allocated to compensate for demolition and relocation of houses, and 68.092798 million yuan for infrastructure and the land for temporary use.

The work of land acquisition, demolition, relocation and resettlement can be divided into three phases. In phase one, namely 2001, some key construction projects and the related land acquisition, demolition, relocation and resettlement were initiated; in phase two (2002 to 2003) the construction of bridges, tunnels and subgrades was started in full scale and the land acquisition, demolition, relocation and resettlement reached their peak. In phase three (2003 to 2004), the resettlement work was completely finished. The realization of the phased targets ensured the completion of the construction of the whole railway line by the end of 2004 and the trial operation started on April 1, 2005.

The resettlement completion report summarized the working mode for the demolition, relocation, resettlement and compensation associated with the Project:

The Ministry of Railways, as the owner of the Project, provided funds for the land acquisition, demolition, relocation and resettlement and included such cost into the cost of construction, thus to ensure that the funds are in place prior to land acquisition, demolition and relocation. The representatives of the local governments at all levels along the railway line, the railway construction supporting offices and land administration bureaus undertook the specific responsibilities for land acquisition, demolition, relocation and resettlement to ensure that the land for railway construction was provided to the owner of the project in light of the schedule for civil engineering construction. All the people affected by land acquisition, demolition and relocation for The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 9 ADB Loan Project

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project the construction of the project were resettled locally (in their own villages). Most of the people affected by land acquisition could regain their farming land through the redistribution of the farming land within their own villages. But for a small number of people who were affected by the large-scale land acquisition for the construction of railway stations, the right mode for their recovery of the means of production and life was the combination of redistribution of land and development of service industry. The development of service industry here means taking advantage of the development of the railway station to establish transportation teams, develop catering trade, open stores and set up agricultural markets in order to gain income outside farming and thus recover productive and living conditions. For the people affected by demolition and relocation, there were four modes of resettlement, namely, scattered resettlement, concentrated resettlement, the rarely adopted resettlement in the residential houses and the resettlement in business houses in towns. The gist of those modes of resettlement was to resettle the affected people locally, provide convenience of life, leave enough room for further development, and offer housing sites free of charge to the affected people.

Judged from the perspectives of information transparency and complaints, the compensation for land acquisition, demolition and relocation as well as the resettlement associated with the project were carried out in compliance with the principle of openness and transparency. Before land acquisition, demolition and relocation, all the affected people personally took park in the counting, verification and confirmation of their affected property jointly with the parties concerned. The resettlement department publicized twice the policy and plan for land acquisition, demolition and relocation as well as the scope of impact on the property of the affected people. First the compensation standards and resettlement policy was promulgated by various means such as loudspeaker vans, broadcast system, television, cinema, slogans on walls, bulletins and publicity brochures. Then the authority concerned publicized the quantity of the affected property of the affected persons and the amount of the compensation calculated against the compensation standards to allow the public to supervise the process. The affected people had unimpeded channels for appeals and complaints. The consultative principle was extensively adopted between the affected people and the resettlement departments at all levels for the solution of problems. The affected persons could voice their opinions and complaints about the work of land acquisition, demolition, relocation and resettlement through various channels such as resettlement departments at village, township, county and city levels, the railway construction organizations (all the railway construction administrations, project divisions, and the railway construction headquarters jointly formed by Nanchang Railway Administration and Railway Administration for this project.

3. The Impact of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction

Project

3.1 Scope of Influence of Land Acquisition, Demolition and Relocation

Associated with the Project

Table1 shows the comparison of the summarized actual scope of influence of land acquisition, demolition and relocation with the resettlement action plan of the project. In total 22,858.955 mu of land was acquired for the construction of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway, accounting for 155.64% of the plan. This number includes the area of the land for resettlement outside the red line, the land for the expansion of railway stations, the land for the access roads to stations, the land for roads outside the red line and the land for flyovers passing the railway line. As a result, the actual area of land acquired for the construction of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway was 55.64% more than the plan. The actual land acquired within the red line numbered 14,375.015mu (This figure was provided by the Headquarters of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction), accounting for 94.23% of the area set in the Resettlement Action Plan. The total area of cultivated land acquired both inside and outside the red line amounted to 10872.0725mu, and the cultivated land acquired inside the red line numbered 7704.64mu, accounting for 166.23% of the RAP. On the whole, the land acquired within the railway line was a little less than the planned figure. But the cultivated land acquired for land-consuming railway stations and resettlement quarters was larger than the planned figure. The people affected by land acquisition numbered 12,280, accounting for 144.61% of the plan. The actual number of people affected by land acquisition in Ganxian County and Huichang County of Jiangxi Province exceeded by far the plan figures. Throughout the whole railway line only Ruijin City had less number of affected people than the planned figure.

The total area of demolition and relocation along the whole railway line numbered 521,901.514m2 (The figure was provided by the local governments along the railway line), accounting for 112.12% of the planned figure. The area of demolition and relocation inside the red line amounted to 495,973.5m2, accounting for 106.55% of the planned figure, with 2,684 households affected. The area of demolished and relocated farmers’ houses accounted for 96.92% of the total area of demolition and relocation, and the remaining percentage indicates the area of demolished and relocated factory buildings and buildings of other purposes. The people affected by demolition and relocation numbered 12,899 in total, accounting for only 75% of the planned figure. In Jiangxi Province the number of people affected by demolition and relocation was generally smaller than the figure planned in RAP, while in densely The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 11 ADB Loan Project

4. The Progress of Resettlement

4.1 The Whole Process of Land Acquisition and Resettlement

The work of land acquisition, demolition, relocation, compensation and resettlement was divided into three phases: Phase one was the period for the formulation of the policies and plans for the compensation and resettlement associated with land acquisition, demolition and relocation. Specifically, phase one was from December 2000 to June 2002. On December 12th, 2000 the Ministry of Railways signed an agreement with Fujian and Jiangxi Provinces (hereinafter referred to as ministry-province agreement. Please refer to Annex 4). In January 2002 the Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project Headquarters jointly formed by Shanghai Railway Administration and Nanchang Railway Administration signed related agreements on land acquisition, demolition and relocation with Longyan City and Ganzhou City respectively. During the period from October 2001 to February 2002, Longyan City and Ganzhou City respectively issued the relevant notice documents concerning the compensation standards associated with the land acquisition, demolition and relocation for the railway construction. During the period from February to July 2002, all the counties (districts) affiliated to Ganzhou City in Jiangxi Province and Longyan City in Fujian The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 16 ADB Loan Project

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project

Province issued their notice documents on the compensation standards for the land acquisition, demolition and relocation as well as specific resettlement plans (See Annex2). By autumn 2001, all local governments had established their Ganzhou-Longyan Railway construction supporting offices.

Phase two, which began from November 2001, was the period for implementing land acquisition, building demolition and relocation, as well as compensation distribution. In November 2001 the Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Headquarters issued the order for commencing the construction of the railway. The land acquisition, building demolition and relocation for the construction of the key civil engineering structures such as tunnels and bridges were initiated first. From February 2002 on, the mobilization, policy publicity and counting of the property affected by land acquisition, demolition and relocation were initiated in large scale. After publicizing the result of property investigation, the compensation for land acquisition, building demolition and relocation was allocated partially, and the housing sites were distributed to the affected households. During the period between the summer and autumn of 2002, the land acquisition, building demolition and relocation reached their peak, and the construction of bridges, tunnels and subgrades for the project entered its full scale. By the end of 2003 the land acquisition, building demolition and relocation were largely finished.

Phase three was the period, during which the affected people were compensated, resettled and gradually recovering their level of production and living standards. In fact, this stage was initiated at the same time with the implementation phase of land acquisition, building demolition and relocation, and continued in the whole process. After receiving the prepaid partial compensation (usually 50%-60% of the total) for land acquisition, building demolition and relocation, all the affected people began moving and handing in their land. When the moving was finished, the remaining part of the compensation was paid, and the affected households began to build their new houses on the housing sites allocated to them. At the end of 2002 when the land acquisition, building demolition and relocation was largely completed, the railway construction entered its full scale phase. And the affected households finished their new houses one after another and moved in. Between the 2003 and 2004, the affected people entered their life recovery phase after completely resettled.

4.2 Evaluation of the Match between the Progress of Resettlement and the Schedule of Project Construction

The work of land acquisition, building demolition, relocation and resettlement on the whole matched the construction schedule of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project. In principle the compensation was in place first, then the work of land acquisition, building demolition and relocation began, and then the land for construction was provided. Though the progress of land acquisition, building demolition and relocation in different counties and districts was not the same, all the counties and districts followed that same procedure. There was not a single case that the

And there occurred no large-scale delay of funds and untimely compensation and resettlement that might hold back the progress of railway construction.

5. Resettlement Policy

5.1 The Resettlement Policy and Compensation Standards Actually

Implemented

The policy for the land acquisition, demolition, relocation, resettlement and compensation necessitated by the construction of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway is in conformity with the ADB resettlement policy and the relevant laws and regulations issued by the Chinese government. Such laws and regulations include: The Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China The Implementation Regulations of the Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China Regulations on the Demolition and Relocation of Urban Houses Issued by the People’s Republic of China The Real Estate Administration Law of People’s Republic of China Basic Farmland Protection Regulations Notice on Further Strengthening Land Administration and Guaranteeing the Protection of Cultivated Land Issued by the State Council Implementation Methods of Land Administration Law of Jiangxi Province Implementation Methods of Land Administration Law of Fujian Province The documents concerning the specific policies on compensation and resettlement are as follows: „ Agreement Reached between the Ministry of Railways, Fujian Province and Jiangxi Province on the Issues Concerning the Construction of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway (signed on December 12th, 2000) „ The Working Plan for the Land Acquisition, Demolition, Relocation and Resettlement for the Fujian Section of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway (Document 2001-344 Issued by Longyan Municipal People’s Government on October 29, 2001) „ The Compensation Standards for Land Acquisition, Building Demolition and Relocation for the Fujian Section of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway (Document 2001-345 Issued by Longyan Municipal People’s Government on October 30, 2001) „ The Compensation Standards for Land Acquisition, Demolition and Relocation for the Ganzhou Prefecture Section of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway (Document 2002-9 Issued by Ganzhou Municipal People’s Government on February 22, 2002) All the counties and districts along the Ganzhou-Longyan Railway line formulated their local policies and standards for compensation and resettlement in light of the requirements set in above documents. Those local policies stipulated specific compensation standards for various types of land and houses affected by land acquisition, building demolition and relocation.

5.2 Comparison between the Actual Resettlement Compensation

Standards and Those Stated in the Resettlement Plan

5.2.1 Comparison between the Actual Land Acquisition Compensation Standards and Those Stated in the Resettlement Plan

Table 4 shows the comparison between the actual land acquisition compensation standards and those stated in the resettlement plan. And the itemized comparison is given below in words. a. Vegetable fields on the outskirts: Ganzhou City did not set a special compensation standard for outskirt vegetable field because the land acquisition did not involve the field dedicated to the cultivation of vegetables. But Longyan municipal government set the compensation standard for vegetable fields at 15,000yuan/mu in its document 2001-345. In fact only Changting County and Xinluo District had vegetable fields, and the compensation standards actually adopted were much higher than the standard stated in the government document, thus met the requirements of RAP. b. Irrigated fields and dry fields: All the compensation standards for irrigated fields and dry fields adopted in all affected counties of Ganzhou and Longyan cities were lower than the RAP lower limit (11,700yuan/mu for irrigated field and 6500yuan/mu for dry field calculated on the basis of 1mu/person per captain cultivated land). This discrepancy was caused by the difference between the standard of productive values adopted by RAP and the standard of productive values adopted by the local governments. The productive value standards adopted by RAP (900yuan/mu for the irrigated field and 500 yuan/mu for the dry field) were higher than the actual figures. To justify their actually adopted compensation standards, all the counties gave adequate explanation.

1) Ganxian County: According to the statistic bureau of Ganxian County, the unit productive values of rice over the past three years (1999, 2000 and 2001) for the three towns transited by Ganzhou-Longyan Railway line was 639.23yuan/mu. For more information, please see table1.

Take the land acquisition compensation standards for Ganxian County as an example. The land acquisition compensation standard for irrigated field was 8,600yuan/mu, which was 13.5 times as high as the productive value (8,600yuan/mu÷639yuan/mu). And this met the requirements stipulated by the compensation standard set in the land administration law of China. Please see Annex7 for more information.

Table 2: The Annual Productive Values of Rice over the Three Years (1999-2001) for Yudu County

Productive Unit Output of Price Number of Year Value Rice (kilo/mu) (yuan/kilo) Seasons (yuan/mu) 1999 342 0.9 2 615.6 2000 342 0.9 2 615.6 2001 344 1.08 2 743.04 Three-Year Average Productive Value 658.08

According to table2, the adopted land acquisition compensation standard for paddy field, 8,800yuan/mu, is 13.37 times higher than the average annual productive value of rice. And this level is in conformity with the compensation requirements of the land administration law of China.

3）Huichang County：

The data of the productive value of Huichang County provided jointly by the county statistic bureau, grain bureau and the bureau of land and resources are shown in table 3.

Table 3: The Annual Productive Value of Rice over the Three Years (1999-2001) for Huichang County

According to table3, the land acquisition compensation standard adopted for paddy field is 13.05 times higher than the average annual productive value of rice. And this level is in conformity with the compensation requirements of the land administration law of China.

4) Ruijin City

The following method for formulating the compensation standard was provided by The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 28 ADB Loan Project

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project Ruijin municipal railway construction supporting office. The average productive value of cultivated land over the three-year period from 1999 to 2001 was 755yuan/mu. According to the provisions of land administration law, the compensation standards should be calculated with the following formula:

The land acquisition compensation=The average annual productive value of the previous three years×6; the laborer resettlement compensation= The average annual productive value of the previous three years×5; the compensation for standing crops (just for one season) = The average annual productive value of the previous three years×0.5. Thus the total compensation is 11.5 times higher than the average annual productive value. Hence the actual compensation standard is 8,800yuan/mu (755yuan/mu×11.5=8682.5yuan/mu).

5) Changting County:

The unit prices of rice during the three-year period from 1998 to 2000 were as follows (with the courtesy of the county grain bureau and price bureau): The average unit price of rice was 68yuan/50kilos in 1998; 63yuan/50kilos in 1999 and 43yuan/50kilos in 2000. And the average unit price of rice for that three-year period was 58yuan/50kilos. The data provided by the county statistic bureau indicated that the unit output of rice from 1998 to 2000 was 378kilos/mu in 1998, 383kilos/mu in 1999 and 386kilos in 2000. And the average unit output of the three years was 382kilos/mu. Hence the average annual productive value of rice of the three years was 886yuan/mu. As the actual compensation standard for paddy field fell in the range of 10000-16000yuan/mu, it was 11.3 to 18.06 times higher than the average annual productive value of paddy field.

Table 4: The Annual Productive Value of Rice over the Three Years (1998-2000) for Changting County

Productive Unit Output of Price Number of Year Value Rice (kilo/mu) (yuan/kilo) Seasons (yuan/mu) 1998 378 1.36 2 1028.16 2000 383 1.26 2 965.16 2001 386 0.86 2 663.92 Three-Year Average Productive Value 886

6) Liancheng County:

The office of railway construction coordinating headquarters of Liancheng County provided the productive value certificates issued by the statistic stations of all the towns and townships concerned and set the paddy field productive value at 500yuan/mu and the dry field productive value at 340yuan/mu on the basis of those The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 29 ADB Loan Project

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project productive value certificates. The following formulas show the process of compensations calculation:

The total compensation standard =the productive value×13 (13=8+4+1);

(The land acquisition standard=the productive value×8;

The laborer resettlement subsidy= the productive value×4;

The standing crops compensation= the productive value×1)

Thus the productive value for paddy field was 6500yuan/mu, and the productive value for dry land was 4420yuan/mu; after putting the per capita cultivated land factor (0.75mu/person) into consideration, we get the figure 7,166.6yuan/mu for paddy land compensation and 4193yuan/mu for dry land compensation. In fact, the actual lower limit of paddy land compensation standard was 10000yuan/mu while the actual dry land compensation standard was 5000yuan/mu. Both compensation standards met the compensation requirements set in the land administration law of China.

7) Shanghang County:

The railway construction coordinating headquarters office of Shanghang County provided the productive values issued by the statistic stations of Jiaoyang Township and Gutian Town transited by Ganzhou-Longyan Railway line. Specifically the productive value was 680yuan/mu for paddy field and 460yuan/mu for dry field. The productive values of cultivated land that should be compensated in accordance with Fujian Provincial Regulations for Implementing Land Administration Methods of the People’s Republic of China.

Paddy field: land compensation=680yuan/mu × 8=5440yuan/mu; resettlement subsidy=680yuan/mu×4×1/0.8mu/person=2720yuan/mu; The sum of the two items is 8160yuan. Plus the compensation for standing crops, which is 500yuan, the actual compensation for paddy field is 10000yuan/mu.

Dry field: Compensation for land=460yuan/mu×6=2760yuan; resettlement subsidy=460yuan/mu×4×0.75mu/person=1840yuan/mu; the sum of the two items is 4600yuan/mu. And the actual compensation standard for dry field was 5000yuan/mu.

8) Xinluo District:

From the data provided by the relevant towns transited by Ganzhou-Longyan Railway line we know that the grain outputs of all the villages concerned are similar to those of the above-mentioned Changting County, Shanghang County and Liancheng County. However, as Xinluo District is adjacent to

The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 30 ADB Loan Project

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project Longyan City, the actual compensation standard was 12500yuan/mu for paddy field and 6150yuan/mu for dry field.

a. Orchard: As is mentioned in paragraph b, because the productive values actually adopted by the resettlement departments were lower than the ones stated in RAP, the compensation standards for orchards were also lower than those stated in RAP, but higher than the compensation standards for dry fields.

b. Fish ponds: None of the counties in Ganzhou City met the requirements of RAP in terms of the compensation standards for fish ponds, but all the counties/districts in Longyan City reached the RAP standards on the scale of fish pond compensation.

c. Homestead: All the counties (cities) in Ganzhou City adopted dry field compensation standard as the standard for the compensation of homestead. Therefore their compensation standards fell short of the requirements of RAP. In contrast the homestead compensation standards adopted by all the counties (district) in Longyan City by far exceeded the standard for dry field and reached the corresponding compensation standards of RAP.

d. Wasteland: The compensation standards adopted for wasteland by all the counties (cities) in Ganzhou City fell within the range stated in RAP. In contrast the compensation standards adopted by all the counties (district) for wasteland by far exceeded the requirements of RAP.

e. Forest land: The compensation standard for forest land adopted by Ganzhou City was at least 200yuan/mu lower than the standard stated in RAP, while Longyan City reached the standard for forest land set in RAP.

f. Land for temporary use: All the counties (cities/district) along the railway line reached and even exceeded by far the requirements set in RAP for the compensation of land for temporary use.

5.2.2 Analysis of Compensation Standards for Demolition and Relocation

Table 5 Compares the RAP compensation standards for demolition and relocation with those actually adopted. As is shown in the table, all the resettlement departments of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project reached the RAP standards in giving compensation for the demolition and relocation of low class houses such as houses of earth-wood structure. But the compensation standards adopted by most of the counties (except Xinluo District which is adjacent to Longyan City) for the compensation of higher class houses, such as brick-concrete houses and brick-wood houses, were lower than those stated in RAP. All the counties justified their compensation standards for demolition and relocation by giving due explanation.

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project 1) Ganxian County:

The county construction bureau provided the list of budget prices of the major construction materials for the second quarter and first half of the year 2001 for Meilin District of Ganxian County, and calculated the replacement prices of houses. According to the bureau’s calculation, the replacement price for brick-concrete houses was 207yuan/m2, the one for brick-wood houses was 173yuan/ m2 and the one for earth-wood houses was 141yuan/m2. As the actual compensation standards are formulated according to the upper limit of the compensation standard, the actual compensation standard for brick-concrete houses was 240yuan/m2, the one for brick-wood houses was 195yuan/m2 and the one for earth-wood houses was 160yuan/m2. The actual compensation standard for brick-concrete houses fell short of RAP standard, but it met the standard of the replacement price.

2) Yudu County, Huichang County and Ruijin County:

The three counties adopted the same compensation standards for house demolition and relocation. The railway construction supporting office of Yudu County provided the unit prices of the major building materials for 2001 verified by the construction bureau and price bureau of Yudu County, and calculated the replacement prices for farmers’ houses. According the calculation results, the replacement price for the brick-concrete houses was 225yuan/m2, the one for brick-wood houses was 168yuan/m2 and the one for earth-wood houses was 120yuan/m2. The compensation standards actually adopted reached the corresponding replacement prices, and the upper limit of the compensation standards reached and even exceeded the compensation standards of RAP. (See Annex7.)

3) Changting County:

The county’s compensation standards for brick-wood houses and earth-wood houses reached the requirements of RAP, but the one for brick-concrete houses was 40yuan lower than the RAP standard— 280yuan/m2. The resettlement department of Changting County provided the documents on the compensation standards for projects of the same type still valid then.

Provisions on the Compensation for Housing Demolition, Relocation and Resettlement for the Reconstruction of West Section of Zhaozheng Road (Document No.1998-501);

Provisions on the Land Acquisition Compensation and Resettlement for the Construction of Hongduan Reservoir and Power Plant of Changting County (Document No. 1995-3);

Provisions on the Compensation for Housing Demolition and Relocation for the Construction of Township Sections of the National Highway 319 (Document No. The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 32 ADB Loan Project

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project 1993-372);

After comparing the above documents and analyzing the compensation standards thereof, the external monitoring agency found that the compensation standards for house demolition and relocation adopted by Changting County for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project were the highest local compensation standards for farmers’ houses.

4) Liancheng County:

Though the housing compensation standard for earth-wood houses adopted by Liancheng County reached the RAP compensation standard, those for brick-concrete and brick-wood houses failed to meet the RAP requirements. The office of railway construction coordinating headquarters of Liancheng County confirmed that the urban and rural planning and construction bureau organized professional personnel to calculate the housing compensation standards for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project. With the housing sites offered free of charge by the resettlement department, and with the relevant deed taxes and fees waived, the implemented standards for houses of framed structure was 380yuan/m2, the one for brick-concrete houses was 220yuan/m2 and the one for brick-wood houses was 180yuan/m2. All those standards met the local housing replacement requirements. (See Annex7.)

5) Shanghang County:

The compensation standards for housing replacement for Shanghang County was similar to those for Liancheng County. The compensation standard for earth-wood houses reached the RAP requirements, but those for brick-concrete houses and brick-wood houses fell short of RAP requirements. The certifying documents provided by the urban and rural planning and construction bureau of Shanghang County proved that the implemented compensation standards reached the market prices for housing replacement. (See Annex 7)

5.3 Evaluation of the Applicability of the Resettlement Policy

Though the actually adopted compensation standards for land acquisition, demolition and relocation for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project fell short of RAP requirements on the scale of some indexes, the external monitoring agency found through its monitoring investigation along the railway line that most of the affected people were satisfied with the resettlement policies adopted by their corresponding counties (district). In general two factors helped to raise the sense of satisfaction of the affected people. One is that most of the affected areas were located in comparatively remote and self-contained mountainous areas, where the productivity was low and most of the houses were of brick-wood or earth-wood structure. The other factor is that the compensation standards for land acquisition, demolition and relocation adopted for this railway

The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 33 ADB Loan Project

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project project were in general higher than those for other local projects.

The compensation standards for land acquisition, demolition and relocation adopted by the 8 counties/district along Ganzhou-Longyan railway line were in general higher than those for highway construction projects, equal to or slightly higher than those for local enterprise construction projects, but lower than those for the local real estate development projects and other commercial development projects. As the local projects of national highway and expressway construction were more comparable to Ganzhou-Longyan Railway construction project, the affected people were in general satisfied with the compensation standards adopted for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project because they were higher than those adopted for highway and expressway construction projects.

6. Income and Livelihood

6.1 The Measures Adopted to Recover the Income and Livelihood of the

Affected People

The policies of compensation and resettlement and other measures adopted by the resettlement departments of the local governments along the Ganzhou-Longyan Railway line ensured a steady income recovery of the affected people. And those measures include the following aspects: 1) Redistribution of land Most of the affected villages redistributed the land within their own villages. And this enabled the affected people to maintain their original means of income (farming) with no need to learn any new productive skills. Among the lands that were distributed to the affected people were the reserved collective land, the land uncultivated by its owners who have been working outside their hometowns, and the land of the whole group or village, which was to be redistributed among the group members or village members. If the land of the group or village is redistributed among the members, the compensation for land acquisition will be redistributed. The modes of land redistribution depend upon the actual situation of the village. 2) Training of agricultural productive skills and non-agricultural productive skills offered by the relevant departments: The external resettlement monitoring agency found through investigation that various functional departments (women’s federation, poverty reduction office, agricultural bureau, forestry bureau, animal husbandry bureau, and labor bureau, etc.) of all the counties (districts) along Ganzhou-Longyan Railway line offered rural residents, on a regular basis, trainings of skills and techniques on agricultural cultivation, breeding of domestic animals and poultry, and even non-farming productive skills and techniques to enhance the rural residents’ ability of developing production and increasing their income mainly through farming and breeding. In addition, all the counties (district) of Longyan City of Fujian Province formed some The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 34 ADB Loan Project

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project

enterprise-village alliances, in which the enterprises offered trainings of skills to rural residents according to the needs of enterprises. The trainees included the people affected by the Ganzhou-Longyan Railway project. At the same time, Ganzhou City of Jianxi Province formed a belt of productive bases with the investment from the nonlocal investors in agricultural cultivation and processing industry of agricultural produce. Those nonlocal investors’ renting of land, hiring and training of the agricultural production workers (who owned or lived near that rented land) not only taught them agricultural productive techniques but also increased their income. 3) The local governments took advantage of the local new countryside construction planning and poverty reduction planning, and endeavored to develop agricultural industrialization and the non-agricultural industries for towns to increase job opportunities and income of the affected people. The opening of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway has attracted many investors from different areas home and abroad, such as , , , Zhejiang, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Holland, and Canada, etc. Those investors come to the areas along Ganzhou-Longyan Railway line to tap the mineral resources (such as the tungsten alloys and rare earths in Ganxian County and Yudu County, the marble and limestone in Huichang County and Ruijin County, the coal in Longyan City and copper in Shanghang County.), or develop industrialized agricultural cultivation and processing industry of farm produce (such as the stevia in Ganxian County, the navel orange and pollution-free farm produces in the south of Jiangxi Province.), or even start numerous non-agricultural projects in the local industrial parks already established in the counties (district) along Ganzhou-Longyan Railway line. Those industries and the relevant service industries have created a large number of job opportunities, which have attracted a large number of surplus laborers and those who used to work in the coastal areas of China into the local non-agricultural industries. As a result, the income of those farmers has increased. (Please refer to the Report on the Impact of Poverty for more detailed information) 4) Measures Aimed at Helping Vulnerable Groups The vulnerable groups among the people affected by land acquisition, demolition and relocation for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project were given special assistance and support in their resettlement by the resettlement departments of the counties (district). For example, the resettlement department of Ganxian County offered the vulnerable groups assistance and support in the following three aspects: 1) Helping the vulnerable groups to build their new houses or assisting them in buying a house of the same size and quality as their original one in their village with their compensation fee after getting their permission; 2) Offering preferential credit and giving poverty-reduction discount-interest loan; 3) Going all out to help them find jobs. The external monitoring agency collected many cases evidencing the assistance and support offered by the resettlement departments to the vulnerable groups. The cases cited below are only a portion of them. „ To help an old couple originally lived in Luowu Group, Gutian Village, Gongjiang Town, Yudu County, the construction authority helped the couple demolish their old house and offered them the transitional housing free of charge. In addition, the construction authority gave the old couple 2000yuan on top of their deserved compensation as the extra subsidy. After the husband passed away in 2002, the railway construction The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 35 ADB Loan Project

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project

supporting office of Yudu County visited the wife several times to persuade her to move into the township rest home, but she preferred to stay in her own village. „ In Huichang County there was a disabled couple. The husband, Song Fangxing, was crippled, and the wife was suffering from dementia. As their demolished house was small in area, their sum of compensation was small, too. They suffered a shortage of fund for building their new house. To help this disabled couple, the railway construction supporting office gave them 200yuan comforting money and offered assistance in their building of new house. „ The poverty-reduction measures adopted by Ruijin City targeted all the poverty-stricken people including those affected by Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project. Those poverty-reduction measures were as follows: The first measure was cadre to poor household assistance (abbreviated as the “321” special assistance, which means every bureau-level official assists 3 poor households, every division chief helps 2 poor households, and every section chief aids one), which aimed at helping 600 poverty-stricken households. The second poverty-reduction measure was the organization-to-household assistance. Altogether 3 province-level units in Jiangxi, 9 city-level units in Ganzhou City, and 35 county-level units in Ruijin offered assistance to their designated poverty-stricken households respectively, and each poor household received the aid of 500yuan per year. The similar campaign was also carried out in Ganxian County, Yudu County and Huichang County of Ganzhou City. „ Liao Nanhai, aged 46, was one of the relocated villagers in Meigang Village, Shazhouba, Ruijin City. He was afflicted with schizophrenia and had an aged mother to support. To help his family out, the township and the village allocated him the homestead before other households, the city-level railway construction supporting office gave him an extra compensation of 2000yuan, and the railway construction authority gave an extra compensation of 3000yuan. He had his new house built with the help of the above-mentioned three parties. „ Lai Tianfa was one of the relocated villagers in Shishan Township, Ruijin City. He was given a sum of compensation of 14 thousand yuan for his original two-room earth-wood house of over 100 m2. There were only two members in his family, namely, he and his aged mother. He was a 40-year-old bachelor and had no saving. He wanted to build a one-storey brick-concrete house, but the compensation was not enough for him to build a new house. And his cousin Lai Libin, a 50-year-old bachelor, who was living alone, was paid a compensation of 5000yuan for his original one-room house of dozens of square meters. Seeing this situation, the township, the village and their relatives persuaded them to combine their compensations to build and live in the same new house. They accepted the advice and built their common house and lived together. „ As an old woman of Meigang Village, Shazhouba, Ruijin City was living alone, and was too old to build her new house herself after her old house was demolished for the construction of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway, the resettlement department directed the village to organize the necessary resources to build the new house for her and help her move into her new house. „ As Hu Qiliang and his wife (one of the affected households of Luofang Village, Changting County) were both afflicted with serious illness, they were discriminated by The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 36 ADB Loan Project

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project

their daughter-in-law in the process of resettlement. In addition to establishing a harmonious relationship among them, the resettlement department allocated them an extra subsidy of 2000yuan and provided them with a set of transitional house before they moved into their new house. Another senior villager of Luofang Village, who was over 70 years old and taken care of by his daughter over a long period of time, also needed assistance. To help him solve the living difficulties during the transitional period before moving into his new house, the resettlement department allocated him a special subsidy of 2000yuan. „ As Yuan Jingao, a villager of Pingpu Village, Jiaoyang Township, Shanghang County, was disabled in his lower limbs, and his wife suffered from hematopathy, his family lacked laborers. They had a sow breeding farm of about 20 sows within the demolition range for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway. In view of their special situation, the resettlement department not only allocated them the compensation for house rebuilding but also rented a land of 3mu as their new sow breeding farm. And to help the couple continue their development of sow breeding and maintain their household income, the resettlement department also built the access road to the newly rented sow breeding farm and mounted the glass roof of the hog pen for the couple. „ As it was difficult for Yuan Fanhui, a 70-year-old widower in Shanghang County, to build his own new house, the county railway construction supporting office persuaded his nephew to let him live under the same roof. The housing site allocated to Yuan was transferred to his nephew to build their common new house with the precondition that the nephew must let Yuan to live with him under the same roof. At the same time, Yuan kept his demolition compensation of over 10 thousand yuan as his living fund. „ To help a disabled relocatee in Hongzhushan Village, Longmen Town rebuild his house, the resettlement department of Xinluo District allocated him a sum of extra subsidy of 10,000yuan.

6.2 Comparative Analysis of Income Recovery

In April 2002 the external monitoring agency finished its sample survey of living standards on 350 households affected by Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project. And in the post-resettlement monitoring evaluation process, the external monitoring agency resampled the baseline survey households of all the affected counties (district) and traced their living situations. As some of the samples for baseline survey did not fall in the range of redline for land acquisition, or because some of the planned interviewees were not available when the external monitoring group came to visit them, the data listed below only reflect the comparative situations of those samples that were traced and interviewed during the post-resettlement monitoring survey. Table 6 shows the comparative situations of the baseline survey samples who were interviewed during the post-resettlement survey.

The survey conduced on the affected people listed in table 6 indicates that the impact of the land acquisition, demolition, relocation and resettlement for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway on the living standards of the affected people is positive. In general most of the affected people have a rise in their living standards, or at least have recovered their original level before the land acquisition. And what is more, they enjoy a great improvement in their housing conditions. For detailed information, please refer to the analysis conducted in sections from 6.2.1 to 6.2.7.

Yan zhaohui does manual work since lunar may of this year, and earns about 30 yuan per man-day. As job instability, the income is also very unstable. The former brick-wood structured house with a size of 160 m2 was compensated completely, including 10 yuan/month/person for the transition. The new brick-concrete structured house is two storied and 240 m2. Yan’s wife believed that it’s more convenient than before; the living standards and environment are also improved after the railway construction. But as the house is near the road, bicycles, chickens and ducks could be stolen easily. In addition, the train noise is too large. Besides, it’s a little far to the paddy field for farming.

A General Analysis of the Affected People

The per capita net income is yielded by dividing the net income with the number of people, and the net income is the amount that remains after the cost of agricultural production and that of non-agricultural production is deducted from the gross income of both agricultural and non-agricultural productions. The per capita net income is an important index reflecting the actual living standard of farmers.

As is indicated by the data collected by the external resettlement monitoring agency through its field survey for post-resettlement evaluation conducted on the affected households, the per capita net income entered the fast-growing period more than five years later. The income concentration point has been moving toward and clustering in the high-level range. In 2001, for all the areas along the whole Ganzhou-Longyan railway line, the households whose per capita net incomes fell below 1,120 yuan/person accounted for 11.7%, and those whose per capita net incomes fell in the range of 1,120-4,000 yuan/person accounted for 46%, while those whose per capita net incomes were above 4,000 yuan/person only accounted for 6%. However, in the year 2007, the households whose per capita net incomes fell below 1,120 yuan/person

The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 60 ADB Loan Project

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project only accounted for 1.9%; those whose per capita net incomes fell in the range of 1,120-4,000 yuan/person accounted for 34.3%, and those whose per capita net incomes were over 4,000 yuan/person accounted for 60%. The passage of time has witnessed a 4,440-yuan increase of per capita net income. The per capita net incomes of the affected people of both Ganzhou and Longyan cities also registered an increase by a large margin. Please refer to table 7 for detailed information.

6.3 Evaluation of the Income and Livelihood-Earning Ability of the Affected People In general, the income and livelihood-earning ability of the affected people can ensure the recovery and even betterment of their living standard. The reasons are as follows:

„ The departments in charge of the land acquisition, demolition, relocation and resettlement for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project formulated resettlement plans that are in conformity with the relevant laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China. And the local governments at all levels along the Ganzhou-Longyan Railway line adopted appropriate policies for land acquisition compensation and demolition compensation, and allocated the compensation in time.

„ As most of the affected people were resettled through land redistribution, they can go on their familiar modes of life and production with their original means of livelihood.

„ The land acquisition, demolition and relocation did not have much impact on the cash-earning modes (working as migrant workers) of the rural residents. Though the survey did reveal that some farmers complained about their The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 61 ADB Loan Project

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project decrease of income from their land due to the decrease of their cultivated land in area, their total family income increased thanks to the increase of the income from their part-time jobs.

„ The resettlement departments adopted active supporting measures to aid the vulnerable groups.

„ The operation of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway improved the overall traffic conditions, which in turn promoted the industrial development along the railway line and created more job opportunities. In addition, the relevant departments at all levels offered training to the affected people. All those factors contributed to the income recovery of the affected people.

7. The Relocation and Reconstruction of Buildings

7.1. The Purchasing Right of the Rebuilt Houses, Enterprises, Schools

and Other Buildings;

In the process of land acquisition, demolition and relocation associated with Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project, the property rights of the affected people to their buildings were acknowledged, and the affected people were therefore compensated according to their property rights. Whether resettled concentratedly or scatteredly, all the affected rural and urban residents got their house sites and built their new houses with the compensation legally received. Generally, the relocated people can reuse free of charge the building materials removed from their old houses to make up for the deficiency of building materials for their new houses. The rural residents received their land certificates while the urban residents received their certificates of property rights (In September 2006, the ADB inspection group found in Changting that the households in Luofang Village had not received their property ownership certificates. And during its post-resettlement evaluation monitoring investigation, the external monitoring agency followed up the matter and found that the households in Luofang Village had received their property ownership certificates by then, to the support of which the resettlement department offered the photocopies of the property ownership certificates of 3 households. However, the external monitoring agency did find that some households in Pingpu Village of Jiaoyang Township of Shanghang County had not yet received their property ownership certificates. To solve the problem, the resettlement department promised to get all the property ownership certificates for those households within one month.) in proof of the validity of their ownership; besides the house compensation received legally, the affected enterprises, stores and schools also received the land to build their new factories, stores and campuses with the help from the resettlement departments.

7.2. Measures Helping the Relocatees Move to Their Resettlement

Quarters and Rebuild Their New Homes

7.2.1. Helping Measures for the Transitional Housing Period

The resettlement departments offered assistance to all the relocatees. All the resettlement policies formulated by the relevant counties and districts of Ganzhou City and Longyan City affected by the construction of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway

The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 63 ADB Loan Project

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project covered the compensation for the affected people for their transitional housing period. Because of the tight schedule of railway construction, some affected people had to move out of their old houses before their new houses are completed. During this transitional time from moving out of their old houses to the completion of their new houses, the affected people may move into the transitional buildings built by themselves, or turn to their relatives or neighbors for accommodation, or live in rented houses. The expenses on those transitional housing were compensated by the subsidy from the departments of resettlement. In most cases, the subsidies were sufficient to cover the expenses.

At the same time, the planning and construction of all the concentrated resettlement quarters (see Annex1) was coordinated in a unified way by the resettlement departments. Specifically, the resettlement departments coordinated “three connections and one leveling” (power supply, water supply, access roads, and leveling of construction sites) or “five connections and one leveling” (power supply, water supply, access roads, television cable, Internet connection, and ground leveling). And the fund for the construction work was raised by the resettlement departments. The affected people received subsidy for moving from their transitional houses into their new houses. All the concentrated resettlement quarters, which were visited by the investigators of the external monitoring agency, completed the above-mentioned construction tasks, and all the affected people were satisfied with the resettlement work.

7.2.2. Special Measures Aiming at Helping the Vulnerable Groups Rebuild New Homes and Some Relevant Cases

Please refer to section6.1 of this report.

7.2.3. Reemployment of Staff Members and Workers of the Affected Enterprises and Stores after the Reconstruction

All the enterprises demolished and relocated for the construction of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway have been rebuilt and the affected people have received their compensation. The standard of compensation has been set according to the market valuation. All the affected enterprises have received compensation for shutdown during their moving and transitional periods. All affected counties except Liancheng County and Shanghang County in Longyan City had demolished and relocated enterprises. Two typical examples are Yudu County in Ganzhou and Xinluo District in Longyan, where the scale of demolition and relocation ranged between 5000-7000m2. The regular employees of the affected enterprises who were skilled workers familiar with the production processes received their basic salary during the shutdown period, and went back to their original positions after their new factories had been completed.

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project 7.2.4. Evaluation of Relocation and Reconstruction of Buildings

Thanks to the building of new houses, the people affected by the Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project are enjoying good housing conditions. Altogether 2,413 households, amounting to 12,899 people built their new houses because of demolition and relocation. The newly built houses are of the best qualities among the local rural houses. Most of them are brick-concrete buildings of two or more storeys that are of better quality and environment than the original buildings. Most of the affected people, except a few who have more than one residence or choose to live elsewhere (such as towns or other cities), have moved into their new houses in the concentrated or scattered resettlement sites with satisfaction.

8. Rebuilding of Infrastructure

8.1. Recovery of Transportation Facilities

The transportation facilities affected by the construction of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway have been recovered by the relevant railway design departments and railway construction departments in time. At the same time, in view of the urban planning, railway safety and villagers’ requests, many flyovers, culverts, passages for pedestrians, such as Yanshi flyover, Shibu flyover, the extension of Longmen Bridge, traffic culverts along the railway line have been built. All those infrastructure not only recovered the original capacity of transportation but also helped to speed up the construction of central cities and the urbanization of rural areas. At the same time, the elimination of road crossings has greatly strengthened the safety of railway.

8.2. Recovery of the Water System

The resettlement departments of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project has been sticking to the principle that both the inlets and outlets of the irrigation and flood discharge culverts should be connected with ditches, and that the toe walls or draining ditches (The ditches should be connected with each other.) should be built in the sections where the railway line fill passes paddy fields. The railway construction headquarters that represents the interests of the owner worked together with the relevant departments of local governments and the representatives of villagers and jointly solved over 1000 problems raised by the local affected people. The solutions to those problems not only recovered the original water system, but also raised standard of water system and won favorable comments from the local affected people.

Table 12 is the budgetary table of compensations for land acquisition and relocation included in the Resettlement Action Plan compiled by TERA company from USA in their process of providing the international technical assistance for this project. The total is 313.727 million yuan, which is based on the predicted scale of land acquisition, demolition and relocation, and the compensation that would go direct to the affected people without putting other costs into account. The analysis of the actual expenses of land acquisition, demolition, relocation, and resettlement for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project reveals that the compensation for land acquisition, demolition, relocation within the red line is 311.58273 million yuan (see table 6), accounting for 99.3% of the RAP budget, excluding the cost for the resettlement projects outside the red line and other ancillary projects. In addition, Longyan municipal government of Fujian Province raised a supplementary subsidy of 184.08379195 million yuan from the financial departments of all levels (from the province, the city down to counties) for the project. So the actual cost of the project was 495.66652195 million yuan, accounting for 158% of RAP.

9.2.3. Evaluation of Budgeting and Financing for Resettlement

On the whole, the resettlement budget is in conformity with the actual situation. There is just a slight difference between the RAP budget and the actual expenses after the to-be-turned-in construction expenses (such as the fee for keeping the balance between the construction land and the compensation of the arable land) is taken into consideration. The funds-raising scheme worked out jointly by the railway construction units and local governments along Ganzhou-Longyan Railway line ensured the sources of fund for land acquisition, demolition, relocation and resettlement, and offered fund guarantee for the realization of the objectives of resettlement.

Information

10.1. Release of Project Information

10.1.1. Notification

All the resettlement departments of the counties along the railway line notified the affected people of the policies and plans of resettlement before land acquisition, demolition and relocation. Altogether the resettlement departments released two notifications. The first one was released to inform the affected people of the range and scale of land acquisition and demolition, and the policy and standard of compensation; the second one was to inform them of the specific scale of land acquisition, demolition and the specific amount of compensation to ensure the transparency and democracy in the whole process. The second notification also serves to find and correct any possible calculation errors.

10.1.2. Flexible and Diversified Ways of Information Dissemination

The resettlement departments released the relevant information to the affected people in various forms, through various channels and at various levels. For example, Changting County in Longyan City of Fujian Province conducted information dissemination by various means, such as loudspeaker vans, broadcasting system, television, slides played in cinemas before feature films, and slogans, newspapers, notices, village bulletin boards and brochures, etc. In much the same way, other 7 counties and districts also informed the affected people of the policies and measures taken in land acquisition, demolition, relocation, compensation and resettlement as well as the purposes and functions of the Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project.

10.2. Ways of Participation of the Affected People

All the work of land acquisition, demolition, relocation, compensation and resettlement was done through continuous consultations. The consultation meetings were held at various levels, ranging from the highest level (between the Ministry of Railways and the two provincial governments), to the middle level (between the resettlement departments of the counties and townships) and to the lowest level (between the resettlement departments and the affected people) to ensure the participation of the affected people in the work of land acquisition, demolition and

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project distributed the brochures to all the affected people. For example, Yudu County handed out 5800 copies, and Changting County distributed nearly 2000 copies.

10.3. Evaluation of Consultation

On the whole, the land acquisition, demolition, relocation, compensation and resettlement for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway embodied the principle of openness and transparency. The resettlement departments made great contributions, especially in publicizing the policies of compensation and resettlement, which was quite satisfying.

11. Organization and Management

11.1. Main Tasks and Responsibilities of the Organizations

Both the investor and constructor of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway and the relevant local governments established networks of organizations and agencies specialized in land acquisition, demolition, relocation, compensation and resettlement to ensure the realization of the objectives of resettlement work. The investor of the railway project (the Ministry of Railways) set up a special office for land acquisition, demolition and relocation in each of the two headquarters of railway construction. The Fourth Survey and Design Institute of China Railway set up an acquisition and relocation group in the on-site design headquarters. And 19 construction bureaus plus at least 50 project departments established their working groups of land acquisition, demolition and relocation. Both Ganzhou City and Longyan City set up their railway construction supporting offices for coordinating the work of land acquisition, demolition, relocation, compensation and resettlement. The affiliated 8 counties (district) also set up the corresponding railway construction supporting offices of similar functions. The acquisition and relocation working groups were also established in 29 towns and townships, and their specific tasks and responsibilities are stated in table13.

11.2. Capability of Staff Members of Resettlement Departments

The 8 county-level (or district-level or city-level) railway construction supporting offices and land administration bureaus along Ganzhou-Longyan Railway line jointly undertook the task of land acquisition, demolition, relocation and resettlement for the project. The staff members of those agencies were richly experienced, highly capable and professionally dedicated. Through field communication with the resettlement consultative experts from the Transportation and Economic Research Associates, Inc. based in USA during the process of pre-construction verification and justification, and thanks to the training on the resettlement policy offered by ADB experts to the resettlement agencies and their staff members during the period of loan allocation, the resettlement agencies along Ganzhou-Longyan Railway line had correct understanding of the ADB resettlement policy. The 8 county-level resettlement agencies worked hard and made outstanding achievements. They not only resettled appropriately the households affected by land acquisition, demolition and relocation before the commencement of civil engineering construction, but also transferred the acquired land to the construction units in time. At the same time, before land acquisition, demolition and relocation, they finished various preparatory work, went through the relevant formalities of application for approvals, and dealt with various procedures.

12. Monitoring and Evaluation

12.1. Internal Monitoring

The internal monitoring of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project was undertaken by the Center of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization of the Ministry of Railways. The process of the internal monitoring is as follows: The railway construction supporting offices of local governments at all levels and the land acquisition and relocation offices of construction units submit quarterly reports on the general situation of the project, the construction progress, the civil work, the procurement of equipment, finance, resettlement, environment protection, project management and implementation to the agency of the Ministry of Railways—Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Headquarters, which will then summarize the incoming reports and submit reports to the Center of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization of the Ministry of Railways, which will then submit quarterly reports to ADB on the basis of the reports received from its agency.

The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 79 ADB Loan Project

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project Ganzhou-Longyan Railway has met the objectives set in the resettlement action plan. Therefore, the resettlement work is successful. As the independent external monitoring agency, we think that the efforts made in the following aspects are the key factors contributing to the success of the resettlement work:

„ Extensive publicity and mobilization made the policies and the significance of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway construction known to the people.

„ Practicing the principle of fairness, openness and transparency by means of radio, TV, wall bulletins, publicity brochures, conferences at all levels, etc. to make sure that the policy is open and transparent, and the supervision is in place.

„ As there were complete resettlement plans and implementation agencies, the work of land acquisition, relocation, compensation and resettlement was well organized, and the resettlement plans and policies were successfully implemented.

13.2. Remaining Problems and Work to Be Done

Mr. Li Wenqian from the Railway Construction Coordination Headquarters of Longyan City, Fujian Province pointed out two remaining problems when interviewed during the post-resettlement evaluation survey:

1) Soil and water loss. In few places along Ganzhou-Longyan Railway line, there existed the hidden trouble of soil and water loss due to incomplete construction operation. And this hidden trouble calls for special treatment.

2) The second hidden trouble lies in the maintenance of the temporary bridges. The temporary roads and bridges built for railway construction were left to the local people at their request. Though such roads and bridges may facilitate the local people’s life and production, they also have some hidden troubles, especially the temporary bridges, which may have hidden trouble in safety because no one is designated to take charge of their maintenance.

The external resettlement monitoring agency holds that besides keeping on helping the affected people recover their production and life, it is a must for the departments in charge of resettlement to help the affected people like those in Pingpu Village, Jiaoyang Township, Shanghang County who have not received their new land certificates and property ownership certificates obtain those legal documents.

14.4 A Copy of the Agreement on Land Acquisition and Resettlement

Signed between the Ministry of Railways, Jiangxi Province and

Fujian Province

Agreement on Issues Concerning the Construction of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway between the Ministry of Railways and the Provincial Governments of Fujian and Jiangxi

To promote the progress of the Ganzhou-Longyan Railway construction, and to ensure its smooth implementation, an agreement has been reached between the Ministry of Railways and the Provincial Governments of Fujian and Jiangxi after thorough consultation, and the agreement in detail is as follows: 1. On the Joint Construction of the Railway The construction of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway is promotive to the territorial development, to casting off poverty and setting out on the road to prosperity in the South Jiangxi and West Fujian regions (originally the Central Soviet Area), and to the economic development of Fujian and Jiangxi Provinces. In addition, the railway is critical to the improvement of Fujian’s coastal defense transportation conditions, to the enhancement of the economic connections of the East, the Middle and the West of China. As the investment for the project is huge, and the prospect of economic benefit is not so lucrative, it is necessary for the Central Government and the Local Governments to join hands to create necessary construction conditions and build the railway with concerted efforts. Specifically, the Ministry of Railways should be responsible for the construction and running of the railway, while Fujian and Jiangxi provinces should be responsible for land acquisition and house demolition, and for practicing favorable policies in taxation and prices of the local building materials, so that a good external environment is created for the railway construction.

2. On Land Acquisition, House Demolition and Relocation The comprehensive unit price for the land permanently acquired by railway construction (including land compensation, resettlement compensation, young crops compensation, the fund for developing new vegetable fields, compensation for plants such as wood trees and fruit trees, etc, the expense of land reclamation, and the “Forestry Law”-prescribed The Research Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization, Southwest Jiaotong University 119 ADB Loan Project

Post-Resettlement Evaluation Report by the External Independent Monitoring Group for Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Construction Project compensation for forest acquisition, resettlement compensation, the compensation for restoration of forest vegetation, the compensation for forest, the management expenses and the contingency allowance) is 8000 yuan/mu. The price of earth fetching land and earth dumping land (including reclamation fee and young crops fee) is 3500 yuan/mu for farmland, and 1500 yuan/mu for unused land. And the compensation standards of various land types are determined by the provincial government through adjustment and negotiation. The comprehensive unit compensation price for the demolished buildings (including permanent one-story or multi-story buildings of brick-concrete, brick-tile, brick-wood, or earth-wood structures, owned by organizations or individuals, is 220 yuan/m2. And the compensation standards of various house types are determined by the provincial government through adjustment and negotiation. The unit compensation prices of other structures, such as brick and tile kilns, cultivating facilities, graves, water wells or motor-pumped wells, etc., will be determined through further consultation in conformance with the principle of adopting the ceiling of the low prices for other structures. The land acquisition, house demolition and relocation are implemented by Longyan people’s government in Fujian, and Ganzhou people’s government in Jiangxi in a unified way in accordance with “The Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China”. The fund for the work of land acquisition, demolition and relocation is fixed, and the cost beyond this fixed fund will be borne by the local governments. The amount of acquired land and the area of demolished houses should be calculated on the basis of the construction plan (including design alteration) and verified by the field survey jointly conducted by the railway authority and the local governments. The land acquired for the station square and the station facilities should be compensated according to this comprehensive unit price, and should be transferred in time and in phases to the construction units according to the progress of the construction in order to meet the needs of land for railway construction.

3. On Preferential Policies To ensure the smooth progress of the project, the following agreement is reached between the two parties through bilateral consultation: A. Fujian and Jiangxi provinces agree to waive the compensation for mineral resources, the charge for water resources, the charge for auxiliary projects of urban construction, the surcharge of education, the charge for funds of land acquisition and water conservancy, the fee of water soil conservation, and some other charges.

the state, to halve the sales tax of the construction enterprises, and abate the tax for the occupation of cultivated land levied upon the construction enterprises. The fees set by the provincial and the along-line local governments should be waived. The taxes and fees, which have been publicly cancelled by the decrees issued by the state and the governments of Fujian and Jiangxi provinces should not be levied. B. In the principle of controlling the cost and save the investment, the related departments of Fujian and Jiangxi provinces, and those of Ministry of Railways should jointly set a price ceiling, introduce a market competition mechanism, adopt the lowest and most favorable prices free of local taxes and fees in order to provide the construction materials (such as sand, gravels, etc.) water, electricity and telecommunication service to the construction units of Ganzhou-Longyan Railway Project.

C. For the utilization of parts of the along-line highways and rural roads in the railway construction areas by the railway construction units, the parties concerned should provide convenience, such issuing toll-free passes (free of road toll and bridge toll) to the construction units. Meanwhile, for the temporary acquisition of land for temporary roads and the temporary facilities for the railway construction, the railway construction authority and the local governments should follow the principle of reciprocity, and try to combine the railway construction with the development plans of the local township and towns. The related departments of Fujian, Jiangxi, and the Ministry of Railways in charge of the management of the local constructional materials, such as sand, gravels, etc., water, electricity and telecom required by the Project should jointly draw a price ceiling in conformance with the principle of investing frugality, and introduce in a market competition mechanism.
