Sub-surface service delivery system (SSDS) will use the land acquired by sponge city component.

3. Policy Framework and Entitlements This Resettlement Plan (RP) is based on Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China (2004), Regulation on the Implementation of Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China (2014), State Council’s Decision on Deepening Reform and Strengthening Management of Land Acquisition and Resettlement (SC [2004] No.28), the applicable policies of Jiangxi Province, Xinyu City, and ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). Based on these policies, and in consultation with local governments and affected persons (APs), the resettlement principles of the Project include the following: (1) Compensation and entitlement provided to affected persons (APs) will be at least to maintain the same level of living before the Project. (2) Compensation and resettlement will be given to all APs regardless of their legal titles or entitlements. (3) In case per capita cultivated land is not sufficient to maintain APs’ livelihood, adequate cash compensation or economic recovery methods will be provided to APs so that similar income could be maintained. (4) The APs will be fully informed about qualification materials, resettlement and compensation options and standards, living standard and income recovery plans, project implementation schedule, and be involved in the implementation of the RP. (5) Land will not be used for construction before the APs obtain the replacement land or sufficient compensation. (6) The implementation of compensation and RP, including the livelihood restoration measures (agriculture development, non-agriculture employment promotion, skill trainings, endowment programs, etc.), will be monitored by both the executing agency and the independent third party. (7) Special support and treatment will be given to members of disadvantaged groups to ensure their living conditions; and (8) The budgets of compensation and resettlement will be made completely and comprehensively, and the funds will be disbursed on a timely manner. 4. Resettlement Strategy (1)The restoration measures of households affected by land acquisition The compensation for permanent land acquisition or occupation includes (i) land compensation and (ii) young crop compensation fees. (1) The land compensation rate for paddy, vegetable plot, orchard (which is originally farmland), artificial high-yield oil tea garden is CNY36,080/mu; for fishpond, house site and dry land is CNY24,200/mu; for woodland, orchard (which is originally mountain), other agricultural land and collective constructive land (including industrial and mining land) is CNY12,700/mu; for unused land is CNY7,300/mu. (2) The compensation for young crops is CNY2,225/mu for farmland; for orchard which has been put into production is CNY6,000/mu, for that has not been put into production is CNY2,000/mu; for grape garden which has been put into production is CNY7,000/mu, for that has not been put into production is CNY2,000/mu; for other orchard which has been put into production is CNY5,000/mu, for that has not been put into production is CNY2000/mu; for fruit tree around house (including housesites) is from CNY10/young tree or CNY2,000/mu to CNY90/mature tree or CNY6,000/mu. (3) The compensation for facilities of fishpond is CNY3,000/mu; for tomb is CNY600-1,000/piece. (4) The compensation for temporary land occupation is CNY2,000/mu·year normally, for dry land is CNY3,000/mu·year, for farmland is CNY3,500/mu·year. According to the usual customs and practices in the project area, the land compensation is paid to affected villager groups and distributed averagely to all members of the villager group, then the farmland is distributed averagely again within the group; the young crops compensation fees are paid directly to the owners. The APs may adjust agricultural planting structure by the compensation fees, redistributed land and small loans in near future (about 5 years). The local government will guide and encourage the APs to plant greenhouse vegetables and grapes. Some APs will be employed by government public service jobs, market jobs, and available jobs during the Project implementation. They will also be provided with small loans to supporting their entrepreneurship and self-employment. For long term, this area will

be completely urbanized and the livelihoods will be transferred or adjusted from agriculture to industrial and commercial activities. An industry zone is located in eastern part of the new HSR district that could provide various job opportunities for APs. The local government will also provide two sets of free resettlement houses for each relocated households, which could provide income from rental and/or commercial purposes. Free training of agricultural and non-agricultural skills will be provided for the APs. The endowment insurance will be provided for Land-Expropriated Farmers who are over 16 years old (including 16 years old) of agricultural population with per capita farmland below 0.3 mu after land acquisition. The Land-Expropriated Farmers may voluntarily choose urban workers’ social endowment insurance or urban and rural residents’ social endowment insurance. It could not be changed once selected. The government will provide 15 years subsidies at most for their insurance programs. (2)The resettlement of residential houses demolition. Two resettlement measures will be provided together for relocated households: resettlement houses in resettlement community for free charge as well as cash compensation of demolished houses. Namely: (i) Resettlement houses without charge. Every Affected Household1 (AH) can obtain 2 sets of free resettlement houses with 110 m2 of construction area per apartment. The eligible affected households, who prefer cash provision rather than resettlement houses, will be paid for at the price of CNY800/m2 based on the area of resettlement houses, totally CNY176,000. (ii) Cash compensation. Beside free resettlement houses, AHs will also receive cash compensation based on the cost price and floor area of demolished houses. The main compensation rates for the demolished houses include: 520 yuan/m2 for brick-concrete structure; and 280 yuan/m2 for brick-timber structure. House facilities will be paid at cost price. The affected households will obtain relocation subsidy, housing demolition rewards and transition subsidy besides house and attachments compensation. Shendi Garden Resettlement Community, as the Demolished Villagers Resettlement Community, is located in northeast corner of Xinyu HSR District. It has advantageous location and elegant environment. The total area of the community (Phase II) is 110,792.8 m2 (166.2 mu), and the construction area is 200,000 m2. It will be constructed from January to December 2017. (3)The compensation for non-residential houses demolition and rehabilitation plan. The Project will affect a pig farm in Gaolouxia village. The owner will be paid with Cash based on the price of market assessment after consultation. The affected persons will be provided training or orientation on fruits/vegetable planting or skills training and loan assistance for their entrepreneurship. (4)The compensation for temporary land use and rehabilitation plan. These compensation fees (see item (1) in section 4) will be directly paid to operators of affected land and temporarily occupied land will be restored by the construction contractors after completion of civil works. 5. Vulnerable Groups and Women A total of 112 households with 137 persons who will be affected by the Project fall into vulnerable groups, including 9 households currently provided with the five guarantees, 61 households enjoying the minimum living security (MLS) and 42 households of the disabled. Except for resettlement, an additional extra subsidy will be granted in accordance with specific conditions, and assistance measures such as employment support, the minimum living security, and medical assistance will be

provided, so that they can improve production and living conditions after LAR. During the course of the resettlement implementation, the Project ensures that affected women shall obtain at least 25-30% of opportunities for unskilled and skilled jobs. In addition, the women will have equal payment for equal work like men do and no child labour shall be hired by the contractors. The affected woman workforce will have priority in skill training and more than 40% training opportunities will be provided for women. The compensation agreement must be signed by both husband and wife. Consultations with women through focused group discussion (FGD) was held to inform them about the resettlement policies and increase their level of awareness about the Project.

6. Public Participation and Information Disclosure All APs (with 50% being women) were consulted on the key contents of the RP using participatory approaches such as meetings, interview, FGDs, etc. public participation meeting and community consultation. The APs will participate in the Project according to the activities, and their opinions have been fully considered and integrated in the RP. A Resettlement Information Booklet (RIB) and RP will be released to the APs and affected villager groups in August 2016. The draft of RP will be published on ADB’s website in August 2016.

7. Complaints and Grievance Redress Mechanism A grievance redress mechanism/procedures have been formulated for the APs to raise their grievances or complaints related to land acquisition and resettlement (LAR) issues, if any. This is essential to ensure prompt or timely response or actions to the APs’ grievance. The main grievance redress institutions include four levels from village committee/community to relevant government departments. The APs can conduct prosecution according to administrative law at any stage, and also may conduct grievance about any aspect of resettlement, including compensation standard. An integrated grievance channel will be set up to deal with all kinds of social and resettlement problems. Institutions at all level will accept APs’ complaint and grievance without charge, and the reasonable charge which caused from the grievance will be paid by contingency funds in the Project. 8. Institutional Arrangement The Xinyu City Government (XCG) is the Executive Agency (EA) of the Project, Xinyu Urban and Rural Construction Investment Group (XURCIG) is the Implementation Agency (IA), and Xinyu Project Management Office (PMO) is responsible for management and coordination of the project. The Resettlement Office (RO) under PMO, a subsidiary organ of the XURCIG, shall collaborate with relevant government departments (Land management bureau, House demolition office, etc.), and shall be the resettlement implementation agency and responsible for the implementation of RP along with affected sub-districts and communities.

9. Monitoring and Evaluation In order to ensure the successful implementation of this RP, resettlement implementation will be subjected to internal and external monitoring. The internal monitoring agencies are Xinyu PMO and RO, and internal monitoring reports will be submitted to ADB semiannually. Xinyu PMO will appoint an independent agency to conduct external monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and external monitoring reports will be submitted to the Xinyu PMO and ADB semiannually. The M&E costs are included in the resettlement budget. 10. Estimated Resettlement Budget All costs incurred during LAR will be included in the general budget of the Project. Based on prices of July 2016, the resettlement cost of the Project is CNY273.9686 million (about 13% of the total investment of the Project), including basic LA and HD

cost of CNY133.6900 million (48.80% of total costs); taxes and fees on LA and HD of CNY96.5221 million (35.23%); supporting fund for vulnerable groups, resettlement planning and monitoring costs, resettlement management costs, and training costs totaling CNY8.0214 million (2.93%); and contingency costs of CNY35.7350 million (13.04%).

Figure 1-1 Schematic Map of the Project 1.3 Measures to Reduce Resettlement At the project planning and feasibility study stage, the design institute and the owner of the Project took the following effective measures to reduce the local socioeconomic impacts of the Project:  At the project planning stage, the local socioeconomic impacts of the Project were taken as a key factor for option optimization and comparison;  Optimizing design for occupation of wasteland and state-owned land as far as possible and reduction of farmland occupation;  When resettlement is unavoidable at the resettlement planning and/or implementation stage, measures have been adopted to minimize project

construction impacts. (1) The collection of basic information have been enhanced, and an in-depth analysis of local socioeconomic conditions and future development to develop a feasible RP combined with local practice to safeguard APs’ income will not be affected project construction. (2) Public participation was encouraged to accept public supervision.

2 Resettlement Impacts 2.1 Scope of Impact Survey of LA and HD Based on the FSR, a primary survey on land acquisition and house demolition, socioeconomic survey (SES) and public consultation in the Project area were conducted by Jiangxi Academy of Social Science (JASS) authorized or engaged by Xinyu PMO in middle of April 2016. The methods of survey mainly include documents collection and analysis, discussion meeting and interview with key information persons and representatives of APs, sampling survey of affected households. The content of the SES survey questionnaire mainly includes basic condition of population, land resources, houses and properties, household’s economy status, willingness of resettlement, etc. A supplementary survey was made in accordance with project contents, adjustment of impact scope, and ADB’s memorandum and opinions of PPTA consultants in early June 2016. In addition, a series of comprehensive public consultation activities were organized. All of these findings are included and integrated in the RP. On the basis of the FSR and field survey, the Project will affect 1 sub-district, 2 towns, 5 village committees and 13 villager groups in Yushui District, Xinyu City.

Based on the data gathered and analyzed, from the APs/ AHs,, the average annual net income loss varies among different land types. Specifically, LA of fishpond will cause net income loss of CNY700 per mu annually, CNY850 for paddy, CNY1,300 for vegetable land, and CNY1,400 for garden land which is the highest value of affected land in project area. In terms of farmland (including paddy and vegetable land) loss, totally 4 villager groups, including Huxia, Hupi, Maoshan and Dangbei, will lose less than 10% of farmland; 2 villager groups, namely Tangxia and Fanxia, will suffer 10%-20% farmland loss; 2 villager groups, including Zhoujia Village and Gaolouxia Village of Gaozhan Village Committee, will suffer 20-30% farmland loss; Yapodang and Nanxia Villager groups will lose 30%-40% of their farmland; Gaowuli Villager group will lose 50%-60%; and Huqiu Villager group will suffer more than 90% farmland loss, thus its per capita farmland will be less than 0.3 mu and the villagers will fall into LEFs after LA. However, the net income loss rate caused by LA of the project will be not as significant as farmland loss rate, because the agriculture incomes only contribute a small part (about 30%) of net income of affected households. Considering all the land types which can generate annual net incomes, the net income loss rates of most affected villager groups are less than 10%, only Gaowuxi villager group will suffer 15.18% of their net income. The details of land and income loss analysis are shown in Table 2-5 and Table 2-6.

2.8.3 Gender Impact

About 1,793 women, or 48.6% of totally affected persons, will be affected by the Project. The affected women have equal rights with men, including the rights of land contract, education, family birth, election, etc. Most women labor forces among the interviewers deem that they have same decision-making power of production and operation with men, they can self-select hiring themselves or running a small business. With the outflow of rural labor, the differences of employment and time distribution between male and female labor shows that typical division-of-labor model of “men go out and women stay home”. The majority of the men are engaged in non-agricultural work while women are mostly engaged in agricultural work so as to look after their family members. Women take more housework and child-rearing work, so they often choose job at home. While men are more likely to leave home to work. From the work time, women’s work time is roughly equal to men’s. For the industry, women have certain advantage of competition in catering industry, home services industry, wholesale commercial, but have disadvantage in construction, manufacturing and transportation industries. The income impacts on affected women are mainly caused by reduction of agricultural outputs due to farmland acquisition as well as loss of family fish breeding and poultry raising. In terms of education, the education opportunity to boys and girls are equal. If children study hard, their parents always do what they could to send them to school. In accordance to survey findings, the concerns of women are the same like men, including (i) compensation standard need to be implemented strictly in line with state legal and policies, and the compensation funds can be distributed in time; (ii) land compensation funds are distributed directly to affected households; and (iii) minimize the transition period during house demolition, and it would be best that resettlement houses cab be constructed before house demolition. Among gender differences, women have different demands from men, including (i)

women ask for training of planting, fish breeding and poultry raising, home services industry, catering service industry, etc.; and (ii) in most family, men are the main participators in public affairs participation, women also hope to participate in village management, they hope that the compensation funds agreement can be signed both by husband and wife. Due to the different roles and livelihood activities between males and females, women will be more significantly affected by LA and HD of the Project. However, after HD and resettlement, the AHs will have better residential conditions, which will reduce local women’s labor burden and improve their quality of life, they will obtain chances to get employed in nearby industry zone. Particular attention will be paid to women’s needs so that they can benefit more from the Project, such as public facilities and services, livelihood options/restoration, skills training and education, and resettlement houses selection and home design. Details on gender analysis is in section 3.3.

3.3 Gender Analysis The female population of Xinyu City was 540.9 thousand in 2010, accounting for 47.49% of gross population. According to the 6th national population census, the gender ratio of Xinyu City is 110.56, while the number of women in Yushuai District was 440.1 thousand with a gender ratio of 110.21. Statistics and survey results show that 52.3% of the female respondents have heard of the Project, lower than the male respondents by 13.6%. However, some 89.5% of the female respondents support the Project because it improves the public environment and residential living conditions. Therefore, at the project preparation stage, attention was paid to women’s needs so that they can benefit more from these components. Public facilities and services, such as streetlamps, warning signs and green belts, safety and environment awareness education program, TEVT program, consider gender needs in housing design, etc.

See details of the gender analysis in the following table:

Table 3-8 Gender Analysis Part A—Gender Analysis of Rural Women in the Project Area 1. Legal Rights According to laws of the PRC, women have equal legal rights with men, of Women though some women are not fully aware of this. 2.

Men are the backbone of families, and attend the important meetings of the village. However, women can influence men when they make decisions at meetings. 3. Title to Land Women have the same title as men. Like other parts of China, in the and project area, when a daughter is married, her land will remain in her Properties mother’s family and she can only share the land owned by her husband’s family since the household contract responsibility system was put into practice in 1982. However, if a second round of land contracting has been carried out at the affected village (around 1999), this situation has been corrected. If land acquisition, house demolition or resettlement is involved, women will have equal rights to compensation. 4. Right to Women have equal rights. Collective Properties 5. Living and There is no restriction on gender role. However, women do housework Gender Role and appropriate farm work mainly in Chinese rural areas, while men mostly do farm work or work outside.

Contribution to Household Women’s income is from farming and household sideline operations mainly, accounting for about 25% of household income. Income 7. Family Status Women have an equal voice in decision-making; when men are away for work, women make decisions themselves in many aspects. 8. Educational Boys and girls enjoy equal opportunities in receiving education, and as Level long as children study hard, their parents would do their best to support their school education. 9. Health Women’s health condition is quite good and there is no significant difference in nutrition level compared to men; however, medical expenses are rising and have become a significant burden for some households, and women may suffer more. 10. Village and Women are represented in all village committees. In addition, women Government have a good informal network in the village and the villager group. Agencies Women may participate in the election of the village committee, and have the right to elect and be elected; local governments attach great importance to women’s development, especially in poverty reduction. Overall Evaluation Women enjoy a good status in the project area, and there is no restriction and Key Risks on gender role; though women seldom participate in the decision-making of public affairs of the village collective, they can express their views in many ways (e.g., through male members of their families). Part B—Gender Analysis of Women during Resettlement Gender Issue Concern/Risk Impact of the Project 1.

The displaced persons in a project area could be of three types: (i) persons with formal legal rights to land lost in its entirety or in part; (ii) persons who lost the land they occupy in its entirety or in part who have no formal legal rights to such land, but who have claims to such lands that are recognized or recognizable under national laws; and (iii) persons who lost the land they occupy in its entirety or in part who have neither formal legal rights nor recognized or recognizable claims to such land.

Policy Principles: (1) Screen the Project early on to identify past, present, and future involuntary resettlement impacts and risks. Determine the scope of resettlement planning through a survey and/or census of displaced persons, including a gender analysis, specifically related to resettlement impacts and risks. (2) Carry out meaningful consultations with affected persons, host communities, and concerned non-government organizations. Inform all displaced persons of their entitlements and resettlement options. Ensure their participation in planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of resettlement programs. Pay particular attention to the needs of vulnerable groups, especially those below the poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and children, and Indigenous Peoples, and those without legal title to land, and ensure their participation in consultations. Establish a grievance redress mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of the affected persons’ concerns. Support the social and cultural institutions of displaced persons and their host population. Where involuntary resettlement impacts and risks

are highly community and sensitive, compensation and resettlement decisions should be preceded by a social preparation phase. (3) Improve, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons through (i) land-based resettlement strategies when affected livelihoods are land based where possible or cash compensation at replacement value for land when the loss of land does not undermine livelihoods, (ii) prompt replacement of assets with access to assets of equal or higher value, (iii) prompt compensation at full replacement cost for assets that cannot be restored, and (iv) additional revenues and services through benefit sharing schemes where possible. (4) Provide physically and economically displaced persons with needed assistance, including the following: (i) if there is relocation, secured tenure to relocation land, better housing at resettlement sites with comparable access to employment and production opportunities, integration of resettled persons economically and socially into their host communities, and extension of project benefits to host communities; (ii) transitional support and development assistance, such as land development, credit facilities, training, or employment opportunities; and (iii) civic infrastructure and community services, as required. (5) Improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups, including women, to at least national minimum standards. In rural areas provide them with legal and affordable access to land and resources, and in urban areas provide them with appropriate income sources and legal and affordable access to adequate housing. (6) Develop procedures in a transparent, consistent, and equitable manner if land acquisition is through negotiated settlement to ensure that those people who enter into negotiated settlements will maintain the same or better income and livelihood status. (7) Ensure that displaced persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for loss of non-land assets. (8) Prepare a resettlement plan elaborating on displaced persons’ entitlements, the income and livelihood restoration strategy, institutional arrangements, monitoring and reporting framework, budget, and time-bound implementation schedule. (9) Disclose a draft resettlement plan, including documentation of the consultation process in a timely manner, before project appraisal, in an accessible place and a form and language(s) understandable to affected persons and other stakeholders. Disclose the final resettlement plan and its updates to affected persons and other stakeholders. (10) Conceive and execute involuntary resettlement as part of a development project or program. Include the full costs of resettlement in the presentation of project’s costs and benefits. For a project with significant involuntary resettlement impacts, consider implementing the involuntary resettlement component of the Project as a stand-alone operation. (11) Pay compensation and provide other resettlement entitlements before physical or economic displacement. Implement the resettlement plan under close supervision throughout project implementation. (12) Monitor and assess resettlement outcomes, their impacts on the standards of living of displaced persons, and whether the objectives of the resettlement plan have been achieved by taking into account the baseline conditions and the results of resettlement monitoring. Disclose monitoring reports.

Table 4-1 Principles of Project Resettlement

Principles

1 Involuntary resettlement should be avoided whenever possible. To enhance, or at least maintain, the livelihoods of the APs in real terms relative to 2 non-project levels. The compensation standard for demolished houses, expropriated land and other assets will be calculated by replacement price. The APs’ legal rights whether or not they are present when their property is 3 expropriated, they will be able to receive replacement cost compensation and resettlement assistance for their losses. The APs will be able to receive cash or physical compensation of replacement land for 4 their lost land and other income-producing activities if their land cannot maintain livelihood after land acquisition. To ensure that the APs have fully understanding of resettlement, including compensation qualification, compensation method and standard, income and livelihood 5 restoration plan, project schedule, and take part in the implementation of resettlement plan. To ensure that there is no physical or economic displacement until (i) all replacement cost compensations are paid for every affected person; (ii) the APs have received the 6 rights listed in resettlement plan; (iii) formulating comprehensive income and livelihood restoration plan and proper budget to improve, or at least restore, the income and livelihoods of the APs. The vulnerable groups will have special assistance or treatment to ensure that they have a better livelihood. All APs should have benefit from the Project. Every 7 resettlement household has 2 persons that can be received skill training, including one woman. 8 The resettlement costs will be fully covered every affected aspect. The executive agency and independent/third party will monitor and measure the 9 progress of implementation of the resettlement plan, and prepare mmonitoring rexport to ensure the resettlement plan can be well implemented according to plan.

4.3 Policy Differences between ADB and PRC and Solutions to fill Gaps

4.3.1 Resettlement Compensation for Houses

Difference: Resettlement compensation. ADB policies require compensation at replacement costs. The laws of the PRC accept reasonable depreciation and the compensation standards for old houses/structures could be lower than that for the new ones of the same structures. Solution: Compensation standards of all ADB’ loan projects are to be based on replacement costs and the project will follow this.

4.3.2 Resettlement Compensation for Land Loss

Difference: ADB policies require that compensation should be sufficient to offset any income loss, and restore long-term income-generating potential. Chinese standards are based on average annual output value, which may be unrelated to the cost of income restoration. Solution: Given that replacement land is unfeasible yet cash compensation is the preferred choice of most APs, although they may not reasonably use the compensations. To ensure the APs’ long-time income, the land compensations are

paid to affected villager groups to be used for land-expropriated farmers’ Social Endowment Insurance. Meanwhile, local government will provide skill and livelihood support for the seriously affected households restoring income.

4.3.3 Consultation, Disclosure and Grievance Redress

Difference: ADB policies require that the APs are aware of all relevant information, and consulted with as soon as possible. Chinese provisions have improved the transparency of disclosure and compensation. However, APs do not play a strong role in decision-making, and the disclosure period is usually too short. Solution: Consultation has begun at the early stage (before and during technical assistance) and future consultations will continue as per the consultation and participation (C&P) plan of this RP. XURCIG and XCG agreed to disclose this RP and related information to APs as required by ADB.

4.3.4 Legal Rights

Difference: ADB policies require all demolished houses/structures, whether legal or illegal, shall be compensated for at the same standards. According to Chinese laws, people without locally registered residence may not be entitled to the same compensation as local people. In addition, the prevailing Chinese laws stipulate that no compensation shall be provided for the acquisition of land and shanty owners, although such compensations are in places in practice. Solution: to the ADB’s loan projects, all APs will be compensated whether they have ownership or usage rights of demolished house and/or expropriated land.

4.3.5 Monitoring and Evaluation

Difference: ADB requires both internal and external resettlement monitoring. However, there is no such requirement in China, except for reservoir projects. Solution: Both internal and external resettlement monitoring have been included in this RP. The requirement of internal and external resettlement monitoring reports have specific provisions in RP. 4.4 Cut-off Date The cut-off date of the eligibility for compensation is set at July 25, 2016, which was disclosed to affected villager groups and households during preliminary measurement survey. Any newly claimed land, newly built house or settlement in the project area by the APs after this date will not be entitled to compensation or subsidization. Any building constructed or tree planted purely for extra compensation will not be counted in. 4.5 Compensation Standards The following compensation rates are applied as of the latest regulations in 2016; if local government publishes a higher compensation standard during the phase of resettlement implementation, the new standard will be applicable to all affected households and enterprises.

4.5.1 Compensation rates for Permanent Land Acquisition

According to the Notice of the People’s Government of Jiangxi Province on Adjusting the Uniform Standards of Annual Average Output Value of Requisitioned Land and Composite Land Price of Requisitioned Tracts of Land (No.81 [2015] of

Jiangxi Provincial Government, Decree on Sep.23 2015), the uniform average annual output value and compensation multiple of permanent land acquisition in the Project are shown in Table 4-2. See the analysis of land compensation rates in table 4-3.

4.5.2 Compensation rate for Young Crops

According to Standards of Compensation for Houses Demolition on Collective Land outside Urban Planning of Yushui District Project of “one Factory, one Road and one Base” (No.62 [2015] of the Office of Yushui District Government), the compensations for young crops, fruit trees, temporary land occupation are as follows: (1) The compensation for young crops is CNY2,225/mu according to one time of uniform standard of annual average output value. (2) According to whether orchard has been put into production or not, the compensation for orange, pear, red bayberry, jujube garden is CNY6,000/mu and CNY2,000/mu respectively; for grape garden is CNY7,000/mu and CNY2,000/mu respectively; and for other fruit garden is CNY5,000/mu and CNY2,000/mu respectively. (3) Compensation for fruit tree around house (including housesites): for fructiferous tree above 2 meters (including 2 meters) is CNY90/tree (CNY600/mu for more than 65 plants per mu); unfructiferous tree below 2 meters is CNY10/tree (CNY2,000/mu for more than 200 plants per mu). Based on the standard of compensation for fruit trees, the landscape tree around houses is paid relocation fees according to its size. (4) The orchard which is originally farmland and green crops don’t be compensated twice.

4.5.3 Other Compensations

(1) The compensation for all facilities of fishponds is CNY3,000/mu.

(2) The compensation for new grave (within 3years) is CNY1,000/piece, old grave (exceeding more than 3 years) is CNY600/piece (the compensations including relocating grave and resettling grave). (3) The compensation for other attachments will be finally determined by consultation and full replacement price in the phase of implementation. The Project has prepared attachments compensation fees in advance based on 15% of compensation fees of LA and HD.

4.5.4 Compensation rates for Temporary Land Occupation

No temporary land occupation or less farmland occupation as possible. The land user must handle related procedures if land occupancy is unavoidable. The compensation for mountain land is CNY2,000/mu·year, dry land is CNY3,000/mu·year, farmland is CNY3,500/mu·year. These compensation fees will be directly paid to operators of affected land. And temporarily occupied land will be restored by the construction contractors after completion of civil works.

4.5.5 Resettlement and Compensation rates for Demolished Houses

(1)According to Standard of Compensation for Houses Demolition on Collective Land outside Urban Planning of Yushui District Project of “One Factory, One Road and One Base” (No.62 [2015] of the Office of Yushui District Government), the resettlement method of demolished households is resettlement houses for free charge plus cash compensation of demolished houses. Namely, (i) Resettlement houses without charge. According to Notice of the Office of Xinyu City Government on Issuing House Demolition and Resettlement Plan of Xinyu Yuan River (Kongmu River) Ecological Management Works (No.17 [2010] of the Office of Xinyu City Government), every eligible Affected Household1 (AH) can obtain 2 sets of free resettlement houses with 110 m2 of construction area per apartment. The affected households who prefer cash compensation rather than resettlement houses will be paid for at the price of CNY800/m2 based on the area of resettlement houses, totally CNY176,000. (ii) Cash compensation. Beside free resettlement houses, affected households will receive cash compensation based on the cost and demolished house area. The main compensation rates of demolished houses are: 520 yuan/m2 for brick-concrete structure; 280 yuan/m2 for brick-timber structure. House facilities will be paid at cost price2. The affected households will also obtain relocation subsidy and transition subsidy besides house and attachments compensation. See details in table 4-3.

Case Analysis: Hypothesis: A residential house of rural household in structure of brick-concrete with area of 250 m2 will be demolished. The household has 4 family members whom their household registration are in the demolished village. They live in the village and go in for agricultural production. The children of the household are under age. The household has independently private house. Resettlement and Compensation: Firstly, the household shall obtain 2 sets of free resettlement houses with 110 m2 per house, if they prefer cash compensation instead of resettlement houses, they will receive CNY176,000 for the resettlement houses. Secondly, the household shall obtain CNY130,000 of compensation fee of demolished original houses (CNY520/m2×250m2 ). So the final compensation for the household amounts to CNY306,000 thousand, average CNY1,224/m2. So, the resettlement houses and cash compensation can completely settle up the capital loss of affected household and meet replacement compensation principle.

5 Income Rehabilitation and Houses Resettlement The objective of resettlement of the Project is to develop an action plan for those affected by the Project so that they benefit from the Project, and their living standard is improved or at least restored to the pre-project level. Some principles for resettlement and rehabilitation have been developed according to the above objectives: (1) The willingness of affected persons will be respected, and their existing production and living traditions maintained; (2) Resettlement rehabilitation programs will be tailored to impacts of LA and HD, and based on compensation rates for LA and HD; (3) Resettlement rehabilitation programs will be combined with group construction, resources development, economic development and environmental protection programs so as to ensure the sustainable development of the affected village groups and persons; and (4) The standard of living of vulnerable groups adversely affected by the Project will be improved. 5.1 Income Rehabilitation Plans of Farmland Acquisition Affected agricultural households held a welcome attitude to the project construction and land acquisition during the field survey. The affected households asked for Cash compensation for land acquisition, and hoped to restore livelihood by all means after land acquisition. After fully consultation with village committees and affected households during the course of socioeconomic survey, different economic rehabilitation plans are agreed to be implemented after LA on the basis of impact degree, availability of remaining land resources and affected households’ desire. Cash compensation will be enough for the villager groups/communities which suffer no significant impacts with less than 10% of farmland loss. According to relevant state and local policies of land acquisition, the compensation fees will be paid directly for affected villager groups and communities and distributed averagely to all the members of these group in time. The affected households may use the remaining land for agricultural development, and land compensation fees will used for income restoration activities, such as small business operation, fishing leisure, transportation, etc. For those affected villager groups who suffer significant impact with more than 10% of farmland loss, in addition to Cash compensation, a series of rehabilitation measures, including skill training, employment promotion and social security programs, will be provided for the villager groups/communities. Along with the urbanization and industrialization of New High-speed Railway District in the Project area, a lot of revenue opportunities will bring salary and commercial incomes to affected households. On the basis of HSR District development plan, the affected villager groups will still maintain a part of land in the future of about 5 years. So the affected farmers’ agricultural income will be restored by improving production condition of remaining land and adjusting the structure of planting and breeding in this term. In the long run, the land of affected villager groups may be totally acquired for implementation of master plan of HSR District. So non-agricultural livelihood rehabilitation will be the main measures for affected farmers to restore their livelihood, including non-agricultural employment, skill training, social security, houses leasing, etc. All these measures help them to change their livelihood mode into industrial and commercial employment, and suit for future urban lifestyle.

5.1.1 Restoration measures of the Villager groups without Significant Impacts

On the basis of loss analysis, Huxia Villager group, Hupi Villager group, Maoshan Villager group and Danbei Villager group will face small impacts with less than 10% of

farmland loss. See details in Table 5-1. These villager groups will hold more farmland after land acquisition. Combined with farmers’ desires, they will choose agricultural development and non-agricultural measures, including employment in near urban area and small business operation after skill training.

5.1.1.1 Cash Compensation and Distribution The affected villager groups and households will receive land compensation as the rates shown in Table 4-2. The land compensation fees will be paid directly to affected villager groups. The distribution manner of land compensation of affected 5 villages in past years is as follows: average distribution of land compensation fees in villager groups, and then remaining farmland will be readjusted within villager groups after distribution. The compensation fees of green crops and attached facilities will be paid directly to their owners. The affected households may carry out the following livelihood rehabilitation measures of agricultural development and non-agricultural activities after Cash compensation achievement and land readjustment. 5.1.1.2 Agricultural Development Measures Local government will encourage four agricultural measures, including fine vegetable cultivating, greenhouse seeding, fruit planting and scale breeding. Agricultural income is expected to be increased 70% by the four efficient agricultural modes. The details are shown in Table 5-2.

Total 3,000 persons will be trained by the Project. (i) Training Objects The training objects are the affected labor forces over 18-year-old with a certain degree of culture in affected area. Yushui Labor and Social Security Bureau will provide related skill training certificate for them as a proof of training. (ii) Training Contents A training of fine vegetable cultivating, greenhouse seedling, fruit planting and scale breeding will be provided in agriculture aspect. In non-agriculture aspect, the training revolves around Xinyu socioeconomic development characters and employment demands, including cook and waiter of catering industry training, housekeepers training, and industrial enterprises workers’ skill training, etc. Job skill training that shoemaking factory, fireworks factory, porcelain insulator works required will be carried out on site based on the employment characters in Xinyu industrial park. Moreover, introductory training will also be carried out. A training of common sense and knowledge of urban living, right protection, production safety, disaster prevention and control, and state policies of employment will be provided for the farmer whom leave home to work. (iii) Institution Arrangement The training activities will be carried out by Xinyu PMO and Yushui Labor and Social Security Bureau. The arrangement of training plan is shown in Table 5-5.

5.1.2 Resettlement Plan of Affected Villager groups with Significant Impacts

Among 12 affected villager groups, 8 villager groups are significantly affected with more than 10% of farmland loss. Compared with above 4 villager groups with small farmland loss, non-agricultural measure of livelihood rehabilitation are more important for these 8 villager groups. See the details of farmland loss in table 5-3.

5.1.2.1 Agriculture development measures According to the analysis, these villager groups, except Huqiu, will still own more than 0.6 mu farmland per capita after land acquisition. So the output of farmland can be improved by necessary engineering and biological measures, thus helping production rehabilitation of affected households (similarly, albeit at a smaller scale, for those who are not significantly affected—see section 5.1.1). According to the quality condition of surplus land resources and agricultural households, planting structure and development plan of affected villager groups will be adjusted, with changing traditional rice planting into higher economic value of scale greenhouse vegetable production. According to estimates, the investment of scale greenhouse production is about CNY4,800/mu, and it could boost annual net income CNY6,600 per mu deducting investment cost. The details are shown in Table 5-2. If the land resource is not enough for partial households, they can lease farmland around the project area with a market price of 600 to 800 yuan/mu annually. Except above measures, following non-agricultural measures will be provided to assist affected households to transfer to industrial and commercial activities.

5.1.2.2 Non-agricultural Employment Promotion Measures The surplus labor forces especially young labor forces caused by land acquisition will be resettled by promoting employment. The main employment promotion measures include: (1)Employment at Public Service posts During the course of urban construction in New High-speed Rail District, the employment demands for public service jobs such as greening, environment sanitation, security person, assistant manager will be increased, 200 public service jobs will be provided preferentially to affected persons by government every year. (2)Employment in labor force market With the development and construction of project area, a great deal of enterprises and institutions will enter in the project area and nearby industrial park and create many social employments including skill and non-skill employment demands. The local labor and social security department estimates there will be 3500 jobs provided for APs in the nearby Eastern Industrial Zone in Xinyu (See figure 5-1 ).

Figure 5-1 location of the eastern industurial zone.

For LEFs, local governments provide support polices to promote their employment in labor force market. Namely：(i) The LEFs are treated as urban laid-off workers. The LEFs will enjoy the same support policies with urban laid-off workers, including free employment introduction, entrepreneurship training, small-sum guaranteed loan, etc. (ii) an enterprise established by LEFs will enjoy the deduction of local part of administrative fees. (iii) The farmers with condition and marketing ability are encouraged entrepreneurship.

On the basis of regulation of Measures for Xinyu Social Endowment Insurance of the Land-Expropriated Farmers (No.10 [2015] of the office of Xinyu City Government), the recorded land-expropriated farmers over 16, who are the recorded agricultural population in original villager groups when land acquisition and are expropriated all land or per capita farmland is less than 0.3 mu (including 0.3 mu) that cannot maintain their basic living, may self-select basic endowment insurance for urban employees or basic endowment insurance for urban and rural residents. The LEFs who select the endowment insurance of the land-expropriated farmers need to pay insurance fees according to related regulations, while subsidy will be provided by local government. The subsidy period will vary among farmers with different ages. The standard of government subsidy is that Jiangxi annual average

wage of on-post workers in last year × subsidy years of on-post workers in last year. The insured LEFs, men over 60 and women over 55 meet the conditions of pension, will enjoy basic endowment insurance welfares stipulated by related policy. According to Method of Participation of Basic Endowment Insurance of LEFs in Xinyu City (No.10 [2015] of Office of XCG), the LEFs may voluntarily choose urban workers’ social endowment insurance or urban and rural residents’ social endowment insurance. It can’t be change once selected. The government will provide 15 years subsidies at most for LEFs’ insurance program.

3. Contents of Symposium Good afternoon everyone! Xinyu Flood Prevention and Control in Kongmu River Basin and Environment Improvement Project will chain 9 lakes together in 21 km2 of High-speed Rail Zone

with 20 m width of river course and connect Kongmu River basin. A stable water net system will be formed according to water system arrangement. The construction of the Project has great significance to improving system of flood control and disaster reduction of Kongmu River basin, improving ecological environment of the Basin, and ensuring safe water supply of urban residents. It is a civil engineering. Everyone may think about what interests can this Project bring to you? Or what disadvantages can this Project bring to you? Everyone can speak your opinions freely. Let us talk about the related conditions of flood treatment. 0: What are your opinions about freshet every year? How did you resolve the problem of freshet? You could talk about your opinions freely so that we can deal with the problem effectively. 1: It will swell before rainy season in our village. The water covers the ground, and field. The crops are suffered disaster. Our village is nearby Konmu River, everyone says that “if you live on a mountain, you live off the mountain; if you live by the water, you live off the water”, but we worry about the freshet. 5: I say some words about drinking water safety. The water quality in our village is a big problem before flooding. We drink the water come out of the ground throughout the year. The ground water is polluted and can not be drunk once flooding. In addition, the village at the front has built a bridge, the aperture of bridge were blocked before flood season. So that our village is flooded. 3: The flood prevention depends on every household experience. It could be say that the old and weak persons like us could not run when the flood comes. It depends on many years of experience i.e., storing water and food, moving to a high place when flood comes and then moving back after flood subsided.

0: What is your attitude to the Project? Are you for or against the Project? What advantages and disadvantages can this Project bring to your life or farming? Your opinions could help us solve it one by one and bring some conveniences. 2: I support the Project! We don’t worry about fields would be flooded after the Project completed. It also bring some benefit to us. It is a good thing. 5: As for the disadvantages of the Project, i don’t think it has disadvantages. We would obtain some compensation for land acquisition, which it can improve our economic returns, solve our employment and improve our living standard. It is a good thing!

0: What are your opinions about the standard of compensation if your land and houses are affected by the Project? Which is better houses compensation or Cash compensation? 3: It is sure to have compensation for land and houses. The compensation must be fair. 7: I still want compensation for houses and land, and the compensated houses is near to present houses as closer as possible. 8: The compensation can not less than other villages. It is better opening. The standard of compensation must be decided by all of villager not village cadres. 1: The standard of compensation must ensure to provide food for us.

0: Did your hold some evenings of entertainment or collective activities on traditional festival such as Lantern Festival and Dragon Boat Festival? 3: We have a tradition custom of collective feast. For example, on each Lantern Festival and Dragon Boat Festival, we hold collective feast in village committee building at night, and hold light show after the feast. 1: We are only farmers.We go to the village committee if something happen, we lead a colorless existence in normal times, going out to work at sunrise and going back home at sunset. We will sit down together for meals and chatting

on every important day such as festival. 5: Sometimes women dance on the square. As for the collective activities are relatively rare.

0: I want to ask you some questions, such as in your family, who could analyze and resolve it when your family happens an important thing? In your village, how are it resoled if there are somethings happened? 2: It is life bagatelle in family and family affairs are presided over by women, so most of things are decided by women in my family. As for the important things in our village, i am not clear. 6: We talk something together and there are no gender restrictions. Men are in charge of manual labor and women are in charge of family affairs. But the important things must be arranged by men, after all, men are the head of the family. As for the village affairs, it will be treated certainly by village committee. 3: I am the only person in my family. I am old and has no opinion on these things. I only want to plant some vegetables in filed, the village affairs are treated by village cadres.

0: I want to know your opinions on environment problem in your village. What are your opinions on environment treatment after completion of the Project. 6: the environment problem is difficult in our village. Some villagers take out the garbage on the road, so that it results in our village are strewn with garbage. It really influence our village appearance. 2: Everybody to their own troubles in our village. There is a big garbage can at the village intersection, everyone can put the garbage into the can. It seems that these garbage will be carried away by garbage truck. 5: The garbage gives off a nasty smell in hot weather, so that we keep away from it when we pass by. It real a big trouble to us.

0: Thanks for everyone. Now, the symposium is over, and thanks for your participation.
