This resettlement plan (RP) is developed according to the policies and stipulations of Asian Development Bank as well as the relevant laws and regulations of Hunan Province and People‘s Republic of China. This document is aimed to provide an action plan for the resettlement and rehabilitation of people (affected persons) affected due to the project, to ensure that they will be benefited from this project, and their living standard will be improved or at least restored after project completion. The resettlement plan is a legal restraint document between the executive agency (Project Management Office) - Key Project Management Office under Hunan Province Water Resources Department, and ADB, as well as local project implementation agencies. With this, the Key Project Management Office under Hunan Province Water Resources Department shall be fully responsible to ensure sufficient funds available for the implementation of resettlement plan, and smooth implementation by relevant county governments. The Resettlement Plan compiled by Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute will be formally approved by the Hunan Province Water Resources Department representing the Hunan Province People‘ s Government. In the development project, the land acquisition and resettlement will bring about the unfavorable influence in the life of people who are living or working on these lands. ―Project-affected people‖ refers to those persons whose production or life is unfavorably affected due to the land acquisition and relocation in project, including: 1) Persons whose lands (including housing plots, lands for public facilities, farmlands, forest land, land for animal husbandry, fisheries and sideline activities), structures (private houses and attachments, enterprise structures, or public buildings, etc.), rights and interests or other properties are partly or wholly, temporarily or permanently requisitioned; 2) Persons using the above-mentioned lands, structures or properties; or the people whose businesses, work, residential area or living custom is unfavorably affected. 3) Persons whose living standard is unfavorably affected due to the land acquisition and relocation.

2 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
Summary of Resettlement Plan for Qiyang Urban Flood Control Subproject
A. Status of Resettlement Plan 1. The proposed Hunan Province Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project will finance the following items: (1) newly-built flood control embankment of 13.635km, including 9.28km for both banks of Xiangjiang River, and 4.355km for both banks of Qishui River.(2)10 newly-built sluices, 2 access gates.(3) the precast block slope protection embankment section of 7.389km, sod protection embankment section of 13.635km.(4) 3 newly-built electric drainage stations, with an installed capacity of 880kW.(5) the pavement hardening of the embankment flood control highway of 13.635km.The resettlement plan includes all the above parts, and all the project impacts and resettlement measures are based on the preliminary design and a detailed survey of all the indices. The resettlement modes, and compensation standards have been reviewed and endorsed by Qiyang People‘s Government in the project area. The next stage technical design will be based on the preliminary design, so the basic scheme and project impact scope will not have any major changes. If there are changes during technical design or implementation, an updated RP will be prepared and submitted to ADB for concurrence. 2. The project executing agency for the Hunan Flood Control Project is the Key Project Office of Hunan Province Water Resources Department (HPWR). For the proposed Qiyang Urban Control Subproject, the Local Project Management Office (LPMO) in Qiyang Water Resources Bureau is the project implementation agency. This resettlement plan has been prepared by LPMO under the guidance of PPMO and assistance of Hunan Hydro and Power Design Institute (HHPDI) and ADB consultants.
B. Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement 3. The proposed Qiyang Urban flood control Subproject will affect 1 township (sub-district) and 10 villages. According to the detailed impact survey, about 40.08 ha of land will be acquired permanently with 55.89% as cultivated land (including paddy field of 29.44%, dry land of 10.65% and vegetable land of 15.8%). The remaining 44.11% is garden plot, water pond, woodland, housing plot and state-owned land. The land of 20.83 ha will be occupied temporarily during the construction period. Based on per capita farmland in affected villages, the permanent land acquisition will affect 1,355 households and 5,548 persons, including 487 persons in 122 households impacted by temporary land acquisition and only 518 persons in the affected area need full economic rehabilitation. On average, each affected person would lose only 0.0044 ha of cultivated land, which represents 11.19% loss of their current cultivated land.

4. Along with land acquisition, a total of 17,797square meters of buildings would be demolished, (including brick-concrete structure of 82.83%, brick-wood structure of 16.05%, and simple structure of 1.12%). The demolition would relocate 237 households and 1,380 persons. The relocation will provide an opportunity to improve current housing condition for relocated households. For affected rural households, they will be moved a short distance to another site within their original village. 5. Other affected assets include telecommunications and electrical infrastructure, walls, sunning ground, well, pond, tomb, and economic trees. All lands, housing and other assets will be compensated at replacement value.
C. Policy Framework and Entitlements 6. For people unavoidably affected, the resettlement objective is to achieve equal or better income and living standards in line with the PRC Land Administration Law (1998) and the ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement. The Key Project Management Office under HPWR and Qiyang PMO will ensure that any people losing land, housing, other assets or income source will be assisted to fully restore their income and living standards. The Hunan Provincial Government in 2000 issued a Methods of Hunan Province for Implementing the Land Administration Law of PRC, which stipulates the regulations for land compensation, resettlement subsidies, young crop compensation, house compensation and other measures to carry out resettlement. According to the policy, the total compensation (land compensation, resettlement subsidy and young crop) will be set at RMB 22,517 yuan per mu for irrigated farmland; RMB 15,498 yuan per mu for dry farmland, RMB 38,948 yuan per mu for vegetable land, RMB 21,968 yuan per mu for water pond, RMB 19,400 yuan per mu for rural housing plot, and RMB 15,603 yuan per mu for economic forest. Those people losing land temporarily during construction will receive a payment equivalent to production value foregone for the period of loss, which is expected to be 2 years. The land used temporarily will be restored by the contractor to the original condition, or else additional funds will be provided to the owner to restore the land. For structures to be demolished, replacement value will be provided to the affected households based on compensation rates adopted in the affected districts (the land price factor will be considered for urban residents), which is RMB 375 yuan per square meter for urban brick-concrete structure, RMB 331 yuan per square meter for brick-wood structure, RMB 278 yuan per square meter for wood structure, RMB 80 yuan per square meter for simple structure, as for the formal house, the land price of RMB 60 yuan per square meter will be added; RMB 317 yuan per square meter for rural brick-concrete structure, RMB 280 yuan per square meter for brick-wood structure, RMB 235 yuan per square meter for wood structure, and RMB 60 yuan per square meter for simple structure. For affected rural households, they will be provided with funds, the rural residents will be provided with new housing sites to be connected

with road, electricity and water within the current village group or administrative village; for those affected urban households, they will be provided with a resettlement area with better conditions. There will be no reduction in house compensation for depreciation, and people will be allowed to salvage materials from their old houses.
D. Resettlement Strategy 7. Efforts to minimize resettlement effects have been made after consultations with local officials during the setting of the alignment in the initial feasibility study. The adjustment of the preliminary design and research has resulted in 40% reduction of land occupation, that is, 183.2mu, 61.4% reduction of house demolition, and the number of relocated households was kept to only 237. For those unavoidably affected, the resettlement strategy is to replace losses of housing, land, other assets, infrastructure and income. 8. 1) The project will affect 48 villager‘s groups of 10 villages, 5,061 persons in 1,233 households will be affected by the permanent land acquisition, averaging only 0.0044 ha per person. About three-fifths of acquired lands are farmland and most of them are low yield farmland and affected by frequent floods. After having been consulted with affected villages and individuals, the detailed economic development plan has been developed for these villages, all the affected persons could obtain the land again by land adjustment within the village, or gain the employment opportunities in the second and tertiary industries, so as to ensure all villagers will own abundant revenue sources. 2) Among all affected persons, 237 households of 1,380 persons will be affected by demolition, with the demolished houses being 17,797m2, and the relocation and reconstruction of new houses is required. Based on the willingness of resettlers, 17 households of 100 persons will choose the exchange of property rights and concentrated resettlement in different places; and the scattered resettlement in their existing village will be adopted for 217 households of 1,263 persons. Based on the principles of ―unified planning, unified land acquisition, and individual construction by households‖, funds equivalent to the existing house‘ s value should be given to relocatees, their villages and groups agree to arrange their housing plot to construct new houses by themselves; the residual 3 households of 17 persons will choose the monetary compensation resettlement, the local government will provide house sources, and they could purchase new houses by themselves. 9. The Key Project Management Office under HPWR and Qiyang PMO will ensure that the resettlement entitlements are provided to the people affected prior to the ground leveling and demolition commencement. Land compensation and resettlement subsidy will be paid to the affected village collectives or individuals. Housing compensation and compensation for young crops and other assets will be provided directly to people losing those assets. Compensation for infrastructure such as
5 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
electrical and communication fixtures will be paid to the concerned government departments for restoration. 10. The resettlement regulations have standard provisions for moving allowances to assist the affected people during the transition phase. Also, the contractors for the project will be requested by the Key Project Management Office under HPWR and Qiyang PMO to give priority to resettlement affected households in the allocation of unskilled jobs during construction. This will be handled through consultation with the township and village leaders.
E. Institutional Arrangements 11. Hunan Provincial Project Management Office (PPMO) will assume the overall responsibility for implementing resettlement for Hunan Provincial Flood Management Sector Project. Hunan Provincial Resettlement Management Office of PPMO will provide guidance to the overall project implementation, take charge of coordination of working relationships among relevant project counties and districts and ensure successful implementation of both civil works and resettlement for all subprojects. For proposed Qiyang Subproject, Qiyang County People‘s Government will set up Qiyang County project leading group in order to reinforce the guidance to the management of project implementation, coordinate working relationships among relevant townships and towns, and ensure successful implementation of the resettlement program. Under the county project leading group, Qiyang Project Management Office is set up to be responsible for project implementation. Within LPMO, a resettlement management office is set up to carry out functions of resettlement planning and implementation for the subproject. With the assistance of concerned townships and villages, the resettlement management office is responsible for consulting with APs, delivering entitlements, supervising resettlement implementation and conducting resettlement monitoring and evaluation.
F. Vulnerable Group 12. Based on the survey, project-affected persons are all from the Han nationality, no ethnic minority. 13. With regard to the population who are poor in economy, including elders that live alone, farm households headed by women and extremely poor farm households, the project shall provide additional financial and physical support. Based on the investigation, 7 households of 19 persons are considered as the vulnerable group, accounting for 0.15% of the total affected persons. Under the Resettlement Plan, vulnerable groups will receive the following additional assistance: (i) physical help in housing construction and relocation free of charge and (ii) a special subsidy will be paid to enable them to maintain their living standards while constructing their houses. The specific amount for such assistance will be determined according to the actual condition and their needs. For this purpose, The Key Project
6 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
Management Office under HPWR and Qiyang PMO agreed to set aside a special fund with 1% of total resettlement cost, which will be used to provide direct and needed help for those vulnerable people.
G. Consultation and Grievance Redress 14. The national, provincial, and county policies and laws related to the resettlement require disclosure and consultation with people affected. The people affected have been notified about the key elements of the RP during meetings and interviews. Prior to implementation, there will be further consultations arranged by township and village officials to discuss specific impacts in each village and how they will be addressed. The people losing housing will be offered a choice of housing sites; and those losing agricultural land will have the opportunity to consider suitable income replacement alternatives. All villagers will also have input to decisions on how to utilize the collective compensation funds. 15. In June 2007, a resettlement information booklet was distributed to all affected townships, villages and households by the Qiyang Resettlement Office.. The information booklet contains the resettlement scope, expected timeframe, compensation rates for land and other assets, other assistance to replace assets, relocation and economic rehabilitation strategies, and the grievance redress mechanisms. The county, township and village officials will ensure that any concerns raised by the people affected are quickly addressed. 16. In case of grievance, people affected will submit their oral or written complaint first to the village committee or the township resettlement office. If their complaint is not settled in ten days, they can seek redress at the county resettlement office, within one month. If still unresolved within two weeks, the PRO of HPWR will try to achieve a solution. The final redress would be sought, if necessary, in the civil courts, in accordance with the Civil Procedures Act.
H. Monitoring and Reporting 17. The detailed plan for internal and external monitoring and evaluation is included in the RP. The LPMO of Qiyang Water Resources Bureau will engage a qualified monitoring agency to carry out independent resettlement monitoring and evaluation. The independent monitoring agency will ascertain the extent to which the affected people have (i) received their full entitlements on time and (ii) fully restored their livelihoods, income levels and living standards. It will also conduct a baseline survey prior to resettlement, semi-annual investigations during resettlement and annual survey updates for two years after the completion of resettlement. The household survey will include a representative number of those severely affected by loss of land, those losing housing, and those classified as minority and economically vulnerable. 18. Under the leadership of the Key Project Management Office under HPWR, Qiyang Subproject PMO will
7 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
set up a quarterly reporting system and will report to PPMO on the progress of land acquisition and resettlement through resettlement progress reports. The Key Project Management Office under HPWR will provide ADB progress reports on the progress of land acquisition and resettlement. The selected external monitoring and evaluation agency will provide the independent monitoring and evaluation reports to LPMO, which will also be submitted to ADB through PPMO. The external monitoring and evaluation reports will be prepared twice a year during resettlement implementation and once a year after resettlement completion. After completion of land acquisition and resettlement, the PRO of LPMO will prepare a resettlement completion report, which will be submitted to ADB through PPMO.
I. Finance and Implementation Schedule 19. The RP budget estimate is RMB 32.3784 million yuan, for all costs including compensation, resettlement subsidy, and payments for other assets such as housing, moving allowances, subsidy for vulnerable groups, fees for resettlement administration, and monitoring and evaluation. The LPMO will guarantee to supplement the resettlement budget, as may prove necessary, to meet any shortfall which emerges in achieving the resettlement objectives. 20. The resettlement schedule has been prepared according to the project construction schedule approved by the EA. It is planned to start the land acquisition in August 2009. The house demolition will be carried out during August 2009 to May 2010. In the progress schedule, it is planned to develop and readjust the cultivated land in the third quarter of 2009 as well as resume the livelihood and living conditions in May 2009 completely.
8 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
1. General Description of Project
1.1 Project Background Hunan Province is located on the south bank of middle reaches of Changjiang River, bordering Jiangxi Province on the east, neighboring the Wuling Mountains on the south, connecting Guangdong Province and Guangxi Province, and close to the Guizhou Province and Chongqing City with the unbroken mountains in Guizhou and Chongqing areas. Changjiang River separates Hunan Province and Hubei Province on the north, and nearly 70% cities of Hunan Province are located in mountainous areas or hilly areas. These cities lie in the areas with relatively high ground elevation, and the landform varies greatly. These areas are subject to the flash flood though they are affected little by the Dongting Lake and the propping of tail water level of the four rivers. Because the river level in mountainous areas rises sharply and abruptly with great flow velocity, the cities along the river are always destructively damaged. In November of 1999, Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute worked out the report on urban flood-control planning in Hunan Province according to Flood-control Planning Outline for Changjiang River Drainage Area and Compilation Outline for Urban Flood-control Planning (Ministry of Water Resources [1998] No.215 Document). This report covers 91 cities, plans for the 18.3 million urban populations, and 2,253km2 urban areas. The embankment-construction-oriented project plan is determined in the report, and the existing embankments to be heightened and reinforced are 1037.16km in total, and the would-be-built embankments total 600.53km. Only the cities of above-county-level and once seriously damaged by the flood in the mountainous areas in Hunan Province will be covered by this urban flood-control project in this time. They shall be the economy developed area, such as Xiangtan, Zhuzhou, and Hengyang, which are all the very important industrial cities, boasting the various industries of machinery, electricity, metallurgy, chemicals, building materials, paper making, mining, medicament, and foodstuff. And, of the local areas these cities shall be the financial, communications, and business centers as well as the science and education centers, where the municipal or county government is located, and moreover the distributing center of agricultural produce, industrial product, and commodities. Their economic status is very important. These cities are the main centers of the economic development of those areas with dense population, and are clustered with properties. If these cities are submerged or suffered great losses, the economic development of local areas will be seriously affected. In addition, the manpower and material resources are abundant in these cities; it is the main rear base for flood-control and providing disaster relief. The
9 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
submergence of these cities will bring the disaster relief and rehabilitation into a passive situation. In years, the government at every level in Hunan Province and the local masses took great pains and sacrificed a lot for fighting the floods in these cities, and enormous achievements were achieved. According to statistics, in the 36 urban areas undertaking the project, total 286.628 km long flood-control embankments, and 141 drainage sluices, and 124 drainage pump stations of 15,648kw have been built. Because the flood-control works is improving slowly, the present urban flood-control standards of these cities are low, which are only for the 4-year-occurrence ~ 20-year-occurrence floods, and their waterlogging drainage abilities are only for floods between 3-year-occurrence ~ 8-year-occurrence, and only a few cities are in the fortified status, while most cities are undefended or incompletely defended. At present, the urban flood-control standard in project area is low. The flood disasters hit there in successive years. According to historical record, great floods occurred in 1980,1981,1983, and 1988 after the frightful flood cataclysms in 1954 and 1955. The losses caused by flood and waterlogging rose year after year. In 1990s, flood disasters frequently happened, and the losses due to the flood disaster rose sharply. In 1991, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, and 1999, large floods and waterlogging disasters happened successively, which caused great losses. Many cities were submerged wholly or partly, and nearly all cities are damaged by flood and waterlogging to various degrees. In 1991, the losses caused by flood disaster amount to RMB 760 million yuan; in 1993, the losses caused by flood disaster amount to RMB 1,870 million yuan; in 1994, the losses caused by flood disaster amount to RMB 3,090 million yuan; and the great floods in 1995,1996 and 1998 each caused over RMB 5,000 million yuan losses, reaching RMB 5,610 million yuan, RMB 10,900 million yuan and RMB 5,973 million yuan respectively. Such enormous losses caused by flood and waterlogging disasters have seriously hindered the life and property of people in urban areas. Therefore, the construction progress and urban flood-control project strengthening shall be speeded up and beefed up to facilitate the economy development being in a speedy, stable and forward way. By constructing and perfecting the necessary flood-control and waterlogging treatment facilities, efforts shall be made to promote the beneficial and abolish the harmful so as to guarantee the safety of people‘s lives and assets and to promote the economic development. Qiyang County, which is abound with rain and water, is located in the middle reaches of the river basin of Xiangjiang River, and its rainfall is ample. As the county has no defense to flood, once it is suffered by flood in flood season, its loss is very severe. Based on the historical records, before liberation, 24 flood disasters happened, including 7 extra floods, and every 7.1 years had an extra flood year in average. Especially, in 1994, 4 flood disasters happened successively, with a disastrous loss due to inundation. With the rapid development of the national economy, the urban area of Qiyang County has been expanded constantly, and the state, collective, and individual properties have been increased
10 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
gradually, accordingly, the range and loss of flood and waterlogging disasters has been increased correspondingly. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out flood control and waterlogging harnessing to the county.
1.2 General Situation of Project 1.2.1 Areal Geography Location Qiyang County is close to the riverside of Xiangjiang River, and Qishui River merges into Xiangjiang River at Dongjiang bridge in the central part of the urban area. Qiyang connects with Changning eastwards, borders upon Guiyang, Shuangpai, Ningyuan, Xintian, and Zhishan southwards, reaches Lengshuitan westwards, and joins Hengyang and Qidong northwards. Its topography is high in the south and north, and low in the middle, in an asymmetric concave basin. Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project could be divided into 3 protection circles, that is, Chengbei, Chengnan, and Chengdong protection circles. See attached drawing 1 for the Schematic Drawing of Geographic Position of Qiyang County Urban Flood-control Project. 1.2.2 Contents and Scale of Project Construction Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project is an urban flood control subproject in the hilly area of Hunan Province utilizing ADB loans, based on the selected project scope, flood control standard, and project tasks, the construction scale of Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project is confirmed as follows: (1) newly-built flood control embankment of 13.635km, including 9.28km for both banks of Xiangjiang River, and 4.355km for both banks of Qishui River. (2) 10 newly-built sluices, 2 access gates. (3) the precast block slope protection embankment section of 7.389km, sod protection embankment section of 13.635km. (4) 3 newly-built electric drainage stations, with an installed capacity of 880kW. (5) the pavement hardening of the embankment flood control highway of 13.635km. 1.2.3 Project Investment Estimation and Planned Progress According to the Feasibility Study Report on Hunan Province Qiyang County Urban Flood-control Project Utilizing Loans from Asian Development Bank, which is compiled by the Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute, the total investment of the project is RMB 132.83 million yuan, including RMB 32.3784 million yuan for resettlement. Based on the project progress, the total time limit of the project is 48 months, and the time limit of the
11 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
main works is 44 months. The construction preparatory period is not included in the progress plan, the working content includes land acquisition and relocation, bidding of main works construction, and other preparatory work, and that is required to complete it before commencement of each single project in every year. 1.2.4 Socioeconomic Benefit of Project After implementation of the urban flood control project, its flood control and waterlogging drainage capacities will be improved obviously, and the current situation that the area is hit passively by flooding will be changed fundamentally, thus, it will play a positive effect to flood control and public security of the people in Qiyang County. After implementation of the urban flood control project, the urban flood control capacity could be elevated from less than 2-year-occurrence to 20-year-occurrence; the waterlogging harnessing capacity could be elevated from no defense capacity to withstanding 10-year-occurrence flood, therefore, it could largely mitigate burden for the safe in flood seasons, and it will be propitious to the normal and sustained social development. As the flood control embankment is integrated with the construction of, urban roads, docks, sewage discharge pipelines, as well as renovation of the bank lines, it could not only relief the jumbly traffic status of the urban area, but also beautify the environment, and offer a superior rest and entertainment area for residents; in addition, as the flood control and waterlogging harnessing standards are improved, it will improve the urban production and living environment and create new economic growth point in developing new city. What‘s more, it could largely mitigate threat to lives and properties of the people by flood and waterlogging disasters, guarantee that the people will live and work in peace and contentment, accordingly, it will be in favor of a stable and united society. Based on the economic evaluation analysis in the preliminary design report of the project, the economic internal rate of return of the project is 15.3%, large than 10%, the economic net present value is RMB 130.46 million yuan, larger than zero, and the economic benefit cost ratio is 1.41, larger than 1. It shows that all economic indicators of the project are sound, and the project has strong anti-risk capacities. Therefore, from the economic point of view, it is reasonable to implement the project.
1.3 Affected Scope of Project Based on the urban flood control planning of Qiyang County, the embankment project layout is divided into three blocks in total according to river trend and landform characteristics, The details are as follows: (1) Chengbei block: Chengbei protection circle: the embankments starts from the left bank of Xiangjiang River westwards, passes Dayuanli, Xiangjiang bridge, Zhizhoujie, confluence of Qishui River, goes upstream from Qishui River, and then, passes Dongjiang bridge, ends in Taojiachong lastly, with a total length of 6.615km. It will mainly protect the main urban area in the middle of the left bank of

2.Project Impacts
2.1 Measures for Avoiding or Reducing to the Minimum the Land Acquisition and Relocation Impacts 2.1.1 Measures for Reducing the Land Acquisition Impacts in Project Design Phase Since the start of the project preparation, in order to reduce the impact on the local social economy due to the project construction, the flood-control scenic road plan has been revised and improved for several times, and the special technical review meetings had been conducted. The objective of plan optimization is to minimize the scope of impact, reduce resettlement cost and facilitate the project construction. 1) In project planning and comparison phase, the social economic impact of the project is among the key factors to be considered in selecting the final alignment. In the urban area of Xiangshui River and Qishui River, it is generally to build new dikes along both the banks, thus a closed flood-control protection circle is formed. According to dike spacing layout and survey data of existing river section, integrating the river variation, topographic condition of both banks along the river and urban area construction, etc., and two schemes are proposed for the dike spacing of Xiangshui River and Qishui River as following: Scheme I: Build dikes at both banks. The riverbed width of Xiangshui River is designed as the natural one. The riverbed width of Qishui River is designed as 80m and dike spacing is 100m. Scheme II: Build dikes at both banks. The riverbed width of Xiangshui River is designed as the natural one. The riverbed width of Qishui River is designed as 100m and dike spacing is 120m. The hydrologic analysis shows that regarding the dike spacing of Xiangshui River in Scheme I, the water level lifting value is 0.20m(hereinafter referred to as ―shipping dock‖); the water level lifting value of Scheme II is 0.15m, less than Scheme I only by 0.05m. Comprehensively consider the above analysis on water surface lines in various schemes ,an economic comparison was made, see table 2.1-1 for the comparison of Scheme I and Scheme II.

Comparison on Dike Spacing of the Two Schemes
Table 2.1-1 Scheme of Dike Spacing Xiangshui River and Qishui River Remarks Item Scheme I Scheme II 1. Lifting natural water level (m) 0.2 0.15 2. Difference value of lifting water level (m) -0.05 3. Main works quantities of dike Earthworks excavation (m3) 423063 413063 Earthworks filling (m3) 705971 736980 Mortar rubble of protection slope foundation (m3) 43785 43785 Mortar rubble of retaining wall (m3) 28016 0 Sand and pebble cushion (m3) 14067 15635 Precast concrete slope protection (m3) 14067 15635 Sod protection area (ten thousand m2) 22.05 23.93 Land area of dike (mu) 629 680 Houses to be demolished (m2) 18955 30937 4. Direct expense (ten thousand yuan) 5522 6695 Civil works expense 4983 4734 Compensation expense of land occupation and demolition 539 1961 5. Optimum scheme To be recommended
Note: The land occupation for the works includes that of dike excavation and the give-up area outside the dike due to the construction of dikes. From the above Table 2.1-1: The lifted water levels of Scheme I and Scheme II concerning dike spacing are not quite different. The Scheme I is that build dikes along the banks of Xiangshui River, taking the requirements of flood passing into consideration. Regarding works quantity, Scheme I is smaller than Scheme II. The dike spacing of Scheme II has remained a certain rooms, however, its land occupation, works quantities of demolition and investment are large. The river section from Xiangjiang Bridge to Xiaojiayuan has dense houses and more urban construction land is to be occupied, with many difficulties in execution. In result, Scheme I is preferred to adopt, i.e., the dike spacing shall be controlled at the natural width of Xiangshui River and the dike spacing of Qishui River is 100m. 2) The alignment of new embankment will follow existing embankments to extent possible in order to reduce the area occupied; the alignment of dike along the river shall try best to be laid in the section without residents or with few residents. Efforts have been made to avoid the house demolition and acquisition of cultivated land with good irrigation. In the densely populated area in cities and towns, the alignment of new dikes will be kept away from the high-rise buildings or multi-storey buildings to reduce the quantities of demolition and relocation. 3) Optimize the construction design, shorten the construction period, and reasonably plan the house relocation and construction period: try best to reduce the losses of resettlers‘ properties. For example,
17 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
the house relocation and rebuilding shall be conducted in the off season, and the land occupation shall be started after harvest of the crops. Try best to utilize the wastelands for temporary land uses, particularly for activities with long construction period (over two years). 4) In the design, fully consider the inconvenience brought about to the life and production of local residents due to the embankment construction. For the convenience of local residents and minimizing the impact, it is important to restore the damages of irrigation cannels and roads in a timely matter to keep the complete functions of infrastructures. 2.1.2 Measures for Reducing the Impact due to Land Acquisition in Project Construction The lands occupied in this project are distributed in linear form, and the whole project area will not have significant impact on the local industrial and agricultural production, basic livelihood and local economy. The land acquisition and relocation along the linear area will not bring much impact. In order to minimize the impact on the local area, special attention will be paid to the layout of construction site and selection of construction scheme, and prevent the unnecessary land acquisition and house demolition. The following measures shall be adopted: 1) Before demolition and relocation, organize the relevant persons to conduct the on-spot survey. Try to remove less or do not move the houses which is unnecessary to remove or can be partly removed in practical. 2) Before the demolition of the buildings due to the temporary land occupation by the project, report to the unit of owner by PMO to empty it or set up the temporary housing to be used in resettlement within the unit area. After the project completion, rebuild new buildings and return to the original owner or unit. 3) For the loss of residential structures caused by the demolition and relocation, adequate compensate will be provided according to the replacement value, and all unfavorably impact on resettlers will be minimized in the process. 4) The resettlement area shall be located at the place close to the original residential areas so as to keep the existing social relationship for the affected people, on the other hand, it will also reduce the commuting for the affected people. 5) Notify the affected enterprises in advance, and arrange the site for relocation, provide adequate compensation, shorten the interruption period, and coordinate LPMO to provide proper rehabilitation for affected employees. 6) During relocation and resettlement, the concerned local functional departments shall vigorously support the resettlers and affected enterprises, provide the convenience for them and carry on the resettlement work smoothly, and reduce the loss and relief the burden on resettlers. 7) Strengthen the mechanism of public participation. Before the project construction, clarify the project
18 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
commencement time and project construction planning progress by putting Notice in the project affected area and the resettlement area, disclose the compensation policies for land acquisition and resettlement, accept monitoring from the relocatee and host population in resettlement area; In project construction period, give priority to use the local materials. For benefiting the affected persons from the project construction, use the local transportation and labor if the technical conditions allowed. 8) Reduce the dust emission and strengthen health management for construction workers. The construction unit shall carefully plan the routing for transport earthwork and stonework. Measures shall be adopted to guarantee that the soils and stones won‘t be sprinkled along the way from the truck full of loading, and thus affect the environment tidiness. In construction period, a large number of labors will come to the worksite to undertake all kinds of works and services. In order to guarantee the public security and orders in work site and the health of various groups in construction area, the project construction unit shall supervise and urge the builders to obey the regulations of local environment sanitation department, toughen the management on the healthy protection for builder group, timely clear the domestic waste on construction site, keep the construction area tidy, and prevent the occurrence and transmission of infectious diseases.
2.2 Investigation on Project Impacts 2.2.1 Investigation Contents In March 2006, Hunan Province Hydraulic and Hydropower Design Institute, together with the Qiyang County Water Resources Bureau, the government at each level, formed a joint investigation team. The team conducted the comprehensive survey on the project impacts according to the coverage determined in engineering design and the 1:2000 geologic type topographic map in hand. The contents of investigation included the land acquisition, the land acquisition affected population, houses to be removed and relocated, and supplementary facilities, scattered trees, small businesses of industry and commerce, enterprises and institutions, and agricultural sideline production facilities and special facilities, etc. 2.2.2 Investigation Method 1) Investigation in Land Acquisition: The investigators clearly found out on-spot the ownerships of various lands according to the 1/2000 topographic map in hand. The area of cultivated land, garden plot, woods, and various lands were measured and calculated in the unit of villager‘s group. 2) Demographic Census:
19 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
In the investigation in the land acquisition and relocation, affected people was classified into three kinds, affected by land acquisition without relocation, affected by demolition and relocation without land acquisition, and affected by both land acquisition and relocation. The actual affected populations were further divided according to the non-agricultural population and agricultural population, with comprehensive investigation in the unit of households on the nationality, age structure, education background, and employment status. They were checked out on site according to the household register card, and register the results of survey in detailed lists for each family. 3) Investigation in Houses and Auxiliary Facilities: The comprehensive survey on house structures was conducted, the area of houses was measured and the quantities of supplementary facilities were investigated household by household, and then registered them in detailed lists. 4) Investigation in Scattered Trees: The scattered trees were counted on-spot in the project-land-acquisition affected area to classify the fruit trees and other trees and separately register according to the tree types. 5) Investigation in Small Shops The small shops were investigated and registered in the way of household by household. The investigating and statistical contents include the business items in operation, coverage of business area, number of employees, annual turnover, and operating profit, etc. 6) Investigation in Enterprises and Institutions: The following contents were surveyed and checked: names of affected enterprises in the land to be expropriated, location, department in charge, month and year of foundation, the coverage of factory area, land area for production, area of buildings, number of staff, fixed net assets, annual output volume of major products, annual output value, annual profit turnover, lump sum of tax, and lump of wages per month, etc. 7) Investigation in Special Facilities: The investigator checked the quantities on site, registered in detailed lists by item according to the 1:2000 topographic map of geologic type and the data supplied by department in charge. All the survey results of physical indices were reviewed and confirmed by householder and local government of each level and department in charge.

2.3.1 Land Affected by Project 1) Permanent Land Acquisition The permanent land acquisition in this project covers 1 township (town, sub-district), 10 village committees (or residential committee), 48 villager‘s groups. Various land with an area of 601.2 mu will
22 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
be expropriated, of which the state-owned land is 73.2mu ( including residential land of 4 mu and other land of 69.2mu) and the collectively owned land is 528mu (including paddy field of 177mu, dry farmland of 64mu, commercial vegetable land of 95mu, garden land of 12mu, pond of 117mu, economic forest of 40mu and rural housing plot of 23mu). See table 2.3-2 for details of the statistical conditions of the investigation results of the permanent land acquisition in this project. 2) Temporary Land Acquisition The construction temporary land acquisition refers to the temporarily borrowed land in the project construction period, including land acquisition of stone material yard, construction plant, construction warehouse, and temporary living quarter and temporary construction road during construction period. ① As the construction plant, construction warehouse, temporary area for living quarters for the contractors, and temporary structures in the project are mainly allocated in the project permanent land acquisition range along the embankment, there will be no temporary land acquisition impact to the layout of the construction plant, construction warehouse, and temporary living quarter during construction period. ②As the existing roads will be destroyed during project implementation process, corresponding compensation costs shall be paid to the municipal administration department. As the compensation costs are included in the project contract as one part of the project costs, they will be paid by the construction Contractor. Accordingly, the project construction temporary road land acquisition will not be counted and the compensation costs will not be estimated in the report. ③ The main temporary land occupation impacts come from the soil and stone material yard in the project, including Jiaoshan Soil Material Yard, Dongjiang Soil Material Yard, Pengjiauan Soil Material Yard and Wuxi Soil Material Yard. The impacts also involve in 1 township (town and sub-district), 4 administrative villages. Various land with an area of 312.41 mu is temporarily expropriated, of which, dry farmland is 130.9 mu and shrubbery land is 181.51mu. The mean time limit for land borrow is two years.

2.3.2 Affected Population Due to Project 1) Affected Population Due to Land Acquisition The investigation of the affected population due to land acquisition of the project will be counted from two aspects, one is the actually affected population due to land acquisition of the project; the other is the number of agricultural population need economic rehabilitation according to the principle of Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China, namely, the economic rehabilitation shall be rearranged to the agricultural population who has lost all of their main productive materials - cultivated land. The concept of the number of persons requiring economic rehabilitation is calculated based on collective land ownership in rural China, which is an important indicator in analyzing land acquisition impacts in the process of land acquisition and resettlement. Based on the physical indices during the course of investigation on relocation and demolition of land acquisition in the project, the population in need of economic rehabilitation will be counted in villagers‘ groups. The agricultural population in need of economic rehabilitation in the project will be obtained with the area of land acquisition divided by cultivated land per capita of each group before land acquisition. And the result of population was 518 persons. As the project is distributed in linear shape along the upper stream of Qishui River and Xiangshui River, for most affected persons, they would only lost small part of lands. According to the site investigation and statistics, 1,355 households (5,548 persons) are actually affected by land acquisition in the project, of which, 1,233 households (5,061 persons) will be actually affected by permanent land acquisition in the project and About 122 households (487 persons) will be actually affected by temporary land acquisition, averaging only 0.066 mu cultivated land per person. 2) Affected Population Due to Demolition According to site investigation, 237 households (1,380 persons) need to be relocated in the project, of
26 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
which agricultural people are 1,197 and non-agricultural people are 183. And dwelling houses of 17,797m2 need to be demolished. 3) Employees in the Affected Enterprises According to the investigation, only the bounding wall of 1 enterprise or institution will be affected by the project construction. The land acquisition will not cause interruption of business operation of enterprises and institutions. 4) Affected Individuals Engaged in Small-scale Business According to the investigation, there is no individual business owner in the project range. 5) Total of Affected Population Due to Project Through statistics, 1,377 households (5,678 persons) will be affected by the project land acquisition. Among them, 1,140 households (4,299 persons) will be affected by land acquisition (without house demolition); 22 households (130 persons) will be affected by house demolition only (without land acquisition); and 215 households (1,249 persons) will be affected by both the land acquisition and house demolition. Among the affected population due to land acquisition and resettlement, 518 agricultural persons need economic rehabilitation. About 217 households (1,380 persons) need to be rehabilitated through building housing. See table 2.3-4 for details of the affected population in the project.

2.3.3 Houses and Auxiliary Facilities to be Demolished 1) Affected Residential Houses and Auxiliary Facilities by the Project The demolished houses by the project will involve in 10 villager‘s committees or residential committees of Wuxi Town in Qiyang County. About 237 households (1,380 resettlers) will be affected, of which, 217 households (1,263 persons) are rural residents and 20 households (117 persons) are urban residents. The total demolished houses amount to 17,797 m2 (including brick-concrete structure of 14,742m2, brick-wood structure of 2,856m2 and simple structure of 199 m2). Along with house demolition, there are 1 well, sunny ground of 168 m2, 180 telephone set, 5 air conditioners and CATV of 237 households. According to the investigation, in the project land acquisition area, most residential houses are individually owned. Most residential houses are one or two-floor houses with brick concrete structure and brick wood structure, and only a few houses are the old ones with wood structures or earth wood structures. Since many demolished houses were built in 1980s, the basic living conditions and the related facilities are considerably poor. Most residents also hope they can move as soon as possible, so as to improve their living conditions. See table 2.3-5 for details of the investigation conditions of the residential houses to be removed in the project. 2) Affected Non-residential Structures by the Project According to the investigation, in the land acquisition area by the project, only 200m2-wall of 1enterprise(or institution) will be affected by the land acquisition and resettlement. See table 2.3-6 for details of the investigation conditions of the non-residential houses to be removed in the project. 3) Affected Temporary Structure by the Project According to the investigation, there is no temporary structure in the land acquisition range of the project. 4) Affected Illegal Structure by the Project According to the investigation, there is no illegal structure in the land acquisition range in the project.

2.3.6 Affected Enterprises and Institutions According to the investigation, only 200m2 wall of Qiyang Special Motor with 204 employees will be affected by the land acquisition. 2.3.7 Affected Special Facilities by the Project The investigators have conducted the site investigation and registration to the affected traffic facilities, transformation facilities, post line, and other special facilities to be resumed or rebuilt according to the project land acquisition range confirmed by the design. The project affects 2 hasty roads, mechanical farm road of 1.05km, 10KV high-voltage line of 1.94km, 380V low-voltage line of 3.24km, 2 transformers, irrigation channel of 0.4km and telephone line of 3.7km. See Table 2.3-8 for details of statistics about survey on the special facilities affected in project. 2.3.8 Affected Vulnerable Groups Due to Project 2.3.8.1 Gender During the survey, the team paid special attention on women in the project areas and organized group discussions attended by women. The participated women included those represented by different age groups and education levels among those above 18 years old. In addition, through sample household survey, further understanding of women in the project area was obtained regarding their roles in their families, participation on public affairs and health issues. (1) Status of Women is Improved and Man and Women Enjoy Equal Rights in the Family In the project areas, there is no clear separation of women and men in their responsibilities. Most of them share the equal responsibilities of farming activities, which is closely related with their availability. Since women play more important roles in most housework, their contribution to family income is relatively high. As a result, in many families, women are responsible for making most financial decisions, and play important roles in determining large family issues and outcomes. (2) High Level of Participation on Public Affairs According to the survey, most women have high degree of participation in public affairs. Most of them participated in the election of village chiefs; some of village officials are women. In the process of RP preparation, women demonstrated high degree of attention and provided many good suggestions. (3) Enjoy Equal Access as Men to Education and Health Care In general, the education levels in the project area is relatively low and medical condition is not well developed. However, in terms of access to education and health care, men and women have relatively equal rights. Due to historic reasons, most old women have lower education level than that of men. However, along with social development, education levels among women has improved greatly and most young women have similar education level as men. 2.3.8.2 Vulnerable Groups
35 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
Mainly include the underprivileged families (per capita income is less than RMB 144yuan/month), handicapped families (disabled persons) and families that the elder lives alone (widows or widowers over 70 years old). For the Project, there are 19 persons of vulnerable groups are affected, accounting for 0.15% of the total population, who are poor population, and widows or widowers enjoying the government subsidy to ensure their livelihood as per the lowest living standard. During resettlement process, the affected vulnerable groups in the project will be further confirmed through comparison and analysis between the actual family conditions and the data of the local civil affairs departments. Once the affected households are proved to be the vulnerable groups, the project execution agency will give special help to them during resettlement implementation process.

2.4 Impact Analysis of Project 2.4.1 Project Impact Characteristics 1) The affected population by land acquisition and demolition occupies 11.2% of the total population in the village and group. The affected cultivated land occupies 4.87% of the total cultivated land in the village and group. 2) The affected population and house by the project construction is 237 households (1,380 persons) and 17,797m2 respectively, they are all centralized in Chengbei Protection Circle, occupying more than 79% of the total affected population. In the houses to be demolished, the brick concrete structure occupies 82.9% of the houses to be demolished, the brick-wood structure occupies 16% of the houses to be demolished and simple structure occupies 1.1% of the houses to be demolished. 3) The permanent land acquisition with an area of 601.2 mu is required for the project construction, of which, the cultivated land to be acquisitioned is 336 mu (including paddy field of 177mu, dry farmland of 64mu and commercial vegetable land of 95mu), accounting for 55.89% of the total land to be acquisitioned. The rest 44.11% are housing plot, garden land, pond, economical forestland and state-owned land. These cultivated land to be acquisitioned are distributed in 10 villages and 48 villager‘s groups of 1 town in Qiyang County, with a linear and scattered characteristics. 4) Only the wall of 1 enterprise is affected by the land acquisition and demolition. And the normal production, operation or working shall not suffer the impacts. 5) There are no important special facilities in the project land acquisition and resettlement area, except for few high-voltage transmission lines and mail line. 2.4.2 Impact Analysis Evaluation The construction of project will damage the original production system in the affected area, and certain impacts will be brought to the local production and livelihood accordingly. The losses of the land resources will destroy the material conditions for livelihood of part of the farmers, so, they shall adapt to new environment for working and livelihood again. The staff of the design unit have fully considered the destructive effect of land acquisition on the local production and livelihood system during project design process, and accordingly, they have constantly optimized the project design, adopted project measures to reduce the land acquisition area, and relieved the impacts of project construction on local production and livelihood. At the same time, as the project is distributed in linear shape along Xiangshui River and Qishui River, according to the analysis on each villager‘s group, among 48 villager‘s groups in 10 villages affected by the project land acquisition, each affected village will lose 8% of the land on average, the proportion of the land impact on all the villager‘s groups is less than 25%, of which, the proportion of the land impact on 8 villager‘s groups is less than 20%, and the proportion of the land
38 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
impact on 3 villager‘s groups is less than 5%. Therefore, the impact of the project construction on the agricultural production of each village and group along the line is limited. For the whole project area, its impact is local, and no large impact will be brought to the local agricultural production, people‘s livelihood, and development of social economy. Nowadays, the project is located in low land areas along the river. Most areas often suffer from flood and waterlogging disasters, which restrict the development of local economy. The project construction has provided a chance for reconstruction of production system and social system for resettlers. After completion of the project, the capability of flood control and emergency service along the new embankment will be greatly improved, and the chances of having flood disastrous will be greatly reduced, so as to provide a better environment that safeguard peoples‘ lives and properties. At the same time, the circulation of the agricultural products and byproducts will be accelerated, and the development of local agricultural production will be improved. In addition, in combination with the RP implementation such as adjustment of agricultural planting structure and improvement of irrigation and water conservancy as well as reclamation of cultivated land, full exploitation of land resources potential is also a vital element of the protection policies on cultivated land used for land occupation of project construction to execute the land management law. According to the compensation system for cultivated land occupation, and the principle of " reclaiming the same amount of cultivated land being acquired for construction", the compensation will be made to the lost cultivated land so as to reach the balance of total land holding in the affected localities. In addition, through careful planning all resettlers will be relocated in the areas with considerably superior natural and traffic conditions, and social environment. The preference and support will be given to the resettlers in the aspects of policies, technologies, funds, and substances, so as to ensure that they will restore or reach the former level as soon as possible.

2) Basic Attitude of Affected People The sample survey and analysis shows that: ① Have knowledge with the project: 100% of the affected people claimed that they had knowledge of the project. ② Sources of information: 85.1% of the affected people get known from the investigation persons and 14.9% from the residents of the neighboring villages. ③ Support attitude: All affected people hold an attitude of supporting to the project. ④ Views on Impact: 95.74% of the affected people think the flood control benefit is obvious, and by the way of the reasonable compensation, the negative impacts can be alleviated; 4.26% think the flood control has no influence, but the removal will bring a certain negative impacts. ⑤ Resettlement Approach: For urban resettlers, 14.53% choose the cash compensation for rehabilitation,
50 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
and would like to purchase houses by themselves; While 85.47% choose the in-kind rehabilitation through exchange of property and hope to have the replacement houses arranged by local PMO with same size as before. For rural resettlers, 100% choose the concentrated reconstruction of resettlement housings. ⑥ Economic rehabilitation: 37.45% ask for cash compensation, and of 62.55% resettlers ask for replacement land through land adjustment.
3.4 Social and Economic Effects for Resettlement to the Affected Population The project implementation will produce a certain impact on socio-economic factor: 1. The affected area is located at the junction of the rural and urban areas with good infrastructure conditions, where the local farmers have a lot of opportunities in non-farm employment, such as daily labor and small business. Most those surplus labor forces have moved into the second and tertiary industry or individual business, gradually moving out of land. According to the investigation, in 2004 in the affected township, there were 20,567 rural labors and 5,223 are involved in various non-farm sectors such as industry, construction, transport, wholesale and retail, accounting for 25.4% of the rural labor forces. Analysis from the incomes structure, the annual total income of the affected township was RMB 46.9816 million yuan, including RMB 13.9703 million yuan for the agricultural incomes, accounting for 29.7% of the total incomes. The investigation shows that in spite of the land loss, the local farmers will suffer the decrease of agricultural incomes. However, due to the small proportion for plantation in the total incomes, they will have little impacts on their income and livelihood. 2. For farmers with land plantation as their main livelihood resources, the land loss will result in the loss of complete or partial means of production, however, as the project is linearly distributed along the Xiangshui River, the land acquisition will result in not big influence on the agricultural production of resettlers, on average the affected villages will lose their land of 4.87%. For 48 affected village groups, all of them would lose less than 8.27% of their land holding. However, for those households directly affected by land acquisition (1,233 households and 5,061 persons), every affected person will lose about 11.18% of their land holding. According to the on-spot investigation, it is known that, in the affected 48 villager‘s groups, all villagers‘ groups have the cultivated land occupied less than 25%, of which, 8 villagers‘ groups have the cultivated land occupied less than 20%, and 3 villagers‘ groups have the cultivated land occupied less than 5%. Most affected farmers would have limited impacts due to land acquisition. For such impact, it is planned that local farmland adjustment will be adopted as basic rehabilitation strategy, which will not impact the traditional production mode and livelihood of the affected persons, and can restore, or even
51 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
develop their living standard within short period of time; the cash compensation can be adopted as a strategy, which will be paid directly to the affected farmers to be used to improve agricultural operations such as adjusting plantation structure and developing greenhouse vegetables or other non-farm operations (such as developing general merchandise operation, repair service and transportation). These activities will increase their incomes and mitigate acquisition impacts so that their income and livelihood could be restored and improved after land acquisition. 3. For relocated households, the process of moving and decorating new houses will consume certain manpower and material resources for the affected households, which need to be considered by the project sponsors. The PMO will, according to the associated policies, make compensation to their loss of moving and traffic costs, complete infrastructure costs for the new housing plot and necessary transfer allowance. In addition, the PMO and the local village committees will provide necessary assistance. Therefore, the impacts from the project will be reduced to the minimum. The project construction will bring certain influences on the residents and businesses within the project area, but the impact is limited for each affected village and after completion of the project, it will create favorable conditions for further development of Qiyang County, and facilitate the sustainable quick increase in economy.

66 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
4.2.2 Relevant Policies and Regulations The Resettlement Policy of the ADB includes the principles as follows. (1) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible. (2) Where population displacement is unavoidable, it should be minimized by exploring all viable project options. (3) People unavoidably displaced should be compensated and assisted, so that their economic and social future would be generally as favorable as it would have been in the absence of the project. (4) People affected should be informed fully and consulted on resettlement and compensation options. (5) Existing social and cultural institutions of resettlers and their hosts should be supported and used to the greatest extent possible, and resettlers should be integrated economically and socially into host communities. (6) The absence of a formal legal title to land by some affected groups should not be a bar to compensation; particular attention should be paid to households headed by women and other vulnerable groups, such as indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities, and appropriate assistance provided to help them improve their status. (7) As far as possible, involuntary resettlement should be conceived and executed as a part of the project. (8) ADB policy requirements pay special emphasis on extreme poor families, women headed families, and other vulnerable social groups. These vulnerable groups should be provided special assistance so that their current status could be improved.
4.3 Compensation Standards for Project 4.3.1 Compensation Qualification All the owners and users of the buildings and land in the area of project land acquisition demolition shall get reasonable compensation or help. County Demolition Office will issue Houses Demolition Proclamation and publicizes the relocaters, relocated areas and demolition time limit, etc. within 3 days after issuing Houses Demolition and Relocation License; and notifies the relative departments in written form to stop processing the following procedures within the relocated areas in relocation time limit. (1) Release the procedures of business license using demolished house as business place. (2) The procedures of trade, exchange, division, donation, transfer and mortgage, etc. of the demolished house, excepting the effective judgments and procedures executed for adjudication issued by People‘s Court or arbitration institutions. (3) Examination and approval procedures of new-building, expansion, rebuilding and character changing of
67 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
houses or auxiliaries. In this project, the cut-off date regulated by the government is considered as the date of finally determining that it is in accordance with the compensation conditions. People affected by the project include those who will lose land and house because of the project construction. The compensation or rehabilitation will be processed according to their loss type and quantity, and whether the loss is within the final construction drawing finished within the time limit regulated by the government; or will be treated as being temporarily affected in the construction period. After the cut-off date, the cultivated land, built houses or resettlement of the affected people in the project affected area will not meet the compensation or subsidy conditions. 4.3.2 Principles of Compensation Rehabilitation 1) The RAP should be based on the social and economic survey and the statistics of the physical indices surveyed in the affected project area. It should also conform to the current national and local land acquisition laws and policies and policy of involuntary resettlement established by ADB. During the implementation of the RAP, once the detailed methods of Hunan Province regarding the Decision by the State Council about Deepening Reformation and Strictly Enforcing Land Administration (GF [2004] No.28) are issued, this project should make necessary adjustment according to the requirements of the relevant policies. 2) The engineering design should be optimized in order to protect the land and minimize the impact by the land acquisition and resettlement. To minimize the number of involuntary relocatees, the project should avoid the areas with high population density and multi-storied buildings as much as possible. Better construction methods and other measures should be taken to reduce the disturbance to people. 3) All the compensations and resettlements for the involuntary relocatees should be a part of the project. In order to benefit the relocatee, sufficient funds should be available to them. 4) It should be ensured that all the affected persons‘ loss caused by the project would be compensated before the remove. Reasonable resettlement and effective rehabilitation should be conducted and provide assistance for their temporary difficulties during transfer. 5) It should be ensure that, after the resettlement, the living conditions, productivity and income level of all affected persons could come back to or exceed the level without the project. 6) There is no deduction for depreciation or any kind of discount for house and other asset compensation, which should be based on replacement values. Compensation can be made in cash or in kinds (such as exchange of property rights). No matter by what means, the compensation should be enough to buy a house with similar structure and condition of the same size in the same area. The project sponsor has the responsibility to recommend affordable houses to the relocatees, and help them deal with the transactions (including some preferential benefits).
68 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
7) All the persons and buildings that are negatively affected by the project should be compensated. The compensation and help should not be canceled because of the incompleteness of residence register, lease and operation register. 8) No compensation or relocation could be given to the people who enters the project area and occupies any land or house beyond the deadline as stipulated. Anyone who refuses to sign the compensation for relocation contract or refuses to remove after the contract was signed will be treated according to relevant judicial programs or laws. 9) Relocatees‘ loss will be compensated during the moving and transfer process. The recommended host area should be provided with basic infrastructure and service facilities. 10) Non-residential units‘ loss caused by remove and suspension of business will be compensated. Reconstruction within the affected areas and relocation in outside area should conform to the planning requirements, as well as the second- remove should be avoided in the coming days. 11) Vulnerable group should be treated reasonably. The project sponsor should help them with choosing and moving their houses. 12) The owners of the infrastructure should be compensated. The compensation should be used for the reconstruction of affected infrastructure and rehabilitation of the function. 13) Land acquisition and the loss caused by land acquisition should be compensated reasonably. Compensation for land acquisition will be paid to the collective organization to develop the collective economy, improve the public facilities and provide rehabilitation to affected villagers. The resettlement subsidies will be paid to the resettlement sponsors or the resettled individuals or to pay the insurance for affected individuals. 14) All the fees for land acquisition should be paid within three months after the compensation and resettlement program get approved. It should also be no later than the day the land is put into construction use. 15) Generally, the temporarily land acquisition should not be longer than two years. The user should restore the conditions of the occupied cultivated land within one year after its occupation. When the collective land is occupied, a temporary land acquisition contract should be signed between the temporary land occupier and the collective economic organization or the residential committee and compensation for temporary land acquisition should be paid. The temporary land acquisition compensation should cover the loss to the former owner and user of the land (including the agriculture taxes). The standard of compensation should be increased and the former user of the land should be resettled appropriately if the use purpose or property right of the land changes when it was returned. If the temporarily land acquisition exceeds two years, the acquisition procedure should be handled again. 16) In order to insure the living standards and income levels will not decrease, all the labor forces affected
69 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
by the land acquisition and resettlement should be provided with employment opportunity. Rehabilitation by allocating replacement land is encouraged, supplemented by development of second and tertiary industries. The villagers can choose to find a job by oneself. 17) Encourage the relocatee to participate in the preparation of resettlement planning and the process of resettlement; let the relocatee know the compensation and resettlement policies and standards. It should widely collect opinions of the affected persons during survey, and incorporate them in the RP report. 18) Seriously consider the complaints made by the affected person and help them with their difficulties and inconvenience in land acquisition and relocation reasonably and practically. The problems or dissatisfactions with the compensation standards should be resolved mainly through negotiation. If negotiation does not work, arbitration even a country appeal could be carried out. Any compulsive actions by the resettlement sponsor should conform to relevant laws. 19) Relative organizations should cooperate together to intensify the resettlement organizations at all levels and train all the staff that will go to duties. 20) In the process of the project, the county PMO is responsible for conducting internal monitoring of the project, hiring an independent organization to do the exterior monitoring and submitting the monitoring report to ADB and PPMO periodically. Resettlement Assessment will be carried out after the project. 21) Any important changes made in the implement of resettlement (such as changing the compensation standards, changing the location or scale of the land acquisition for the project, new sub-project, changing any sub-project into a domestic invested one) should be reported to ADB in advance. If necessary, the resettlement planning can be revised or other resettlement can be prepared. 22) If other non-ADB project demolition occurs ahead or simultaneously in the ADB project area, the ADB project can take the advantage of other project under the condition that all the compensation and resettlement standards will follow the resettlement planning.
4.3.3 Compensation Reference and Standard for Land Acquisition 4.3.3.1 Permanent Land Acquisition of Project Collectively Owned Land 1) Compensation Standards for Cultivated Land Acquisition According to the relevant provisions of XZBF [2005] No.47 document, A Notice by General Office of Hunan Provincial People’s Government about Issuing Land Requisition Annual Output Standards, the annual output of Yongzhou City is listed as follows: RMB 1,650 yuan/mu for paddy field of class I, RMB 1,400 yuan/mu for paddy field of class II (the average, RMB 1,525 yuan/mu is adopted); RMB 1,050 yuan/mu for dry farmland; RMB 2,300 yuan/mu for market vegetable land of class II.

The resettlement subsidy shall be executed with reference to the regulations of the cultivated land. The garden land acquisition in this project is orange garden. Because of lower breed, it is generally self-sufficient or limited to sell within the range of the local region, with relatively low price. Through investigation and analysis, the compensation fee for garden land acquisition is 60% of paddy field standards, whereas resettlement subsidy is 100% of paddy field standards. And the compensation fee for affected fruit trees is set at RMB 3,600 yuan per mu according to 60 pieces per mu and RMB 60 yuan per piece. Based on this calculation, compensation fee for the unit price of the garden land is RMB 20,076 yuan

per mu. 4) Compensation Standards for Economic Forest Land Acquisition According to the relevant regulations from Methods of Hunan Province for Implementing the Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China, the land compensation fee for economic forest land acquisition shall be 50% to 100% of compensation standards for the paddy field near the land. The resettlement subsidy shall be executed with reference to the regulations of the vicinal paddy field. Based on this calculation, the land compensation fee for economic forest land acquisition is RMB 6,865 yuan, the resettlement subsidy is RMB 8,238 yuan, and the cost of young crops is RMB 500 yuan, totaling RMB 15,603 yuan per mu as the compensation for economic forest land acquisition. 5) Compensation Standards of Housing plot According to the relevant regulations from Methods of Hunan Province for Implementing the Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China, the land compensation fee for the villagers‘ housing plots shall comply with compensation standards for the vicinal paddy field. If the villagers‘ housing plots need to rebuild, the resettlement subsidy shall be paid according to the classification standard for the rebuilding sites. Rebuilding sites from the villagers‘ housing plots in this project are mainly the dry farmlands, so the land compensation fee is RMB 13,730 yuan per mu according to compensation standards for paddy field, whereas the resettlement subsidy is RMB 5,670 yuan per mu according to the compensation standards for dry farmland. Through this calculation, the unit price of the compensation fee for the villagers‘ housing plots is RMB 19,400 yuan per mu. State-owned Land 1) Compensation Standards for Residential Land The residential land acquisition in this project is mainly housing plot of town dwellers. According to location factor of the demolished houses, through the consultation among Qiyang PMO and affected work units as well as its department in charge, the compensation for land occupation of all the urban residential houses is paid as RMB 60 yuan per square meter. Based on this calculation, the unit price of compensation for land acquisition of urban residential houses in this project is set at RMB 40,020 yuan per mu. Considering that the compensation for urban residence land is included in compensation standard for urban residential houses, no separate item will be included in the final resettlement budget. 2) Other Land Acquisition According to the relevant regulations from Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of

4.3.3.2 Temporary Land Acquisition in the Project Compensation fee for temporary land acquisition in this project includes the cost of young crops, compensation fee for land loss and the reclamation cost. Compensation fee for land loss is mainly used for compensating total amount of output or income of landowner from the original land, whereas the reclaiming expense is mainly used for reclaiming temporary land after occupation. Compensation fee for land loss is determined by the annual output value and occupation time of the land, whereas the reclamation cost is determined by actual expense of reclaiming. 1) The Unit Price of Temporary Land Acquisition Compensation According to materials provided by design organization, temporary construction site in this project is mainly the earth material site, including the dry farmland and the shrub land, with 2-year occupation time. The annual output value of dry farmland is RMB 945 yuan per mu, and the cost of young crops is RMB 378 yuan according to 40% of the annual output value, and the average annual output value of shrub land is RMB 549 yuan per mu according to 40% of the vicinal paddy field, the forest
73 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
compensation fee is RMB 549 yuan according to shrub land. Based on this calculation, the unit price of temporary land acquisition is, respectively, RMB 2,268 yuan for dry farmland per mu, RMB 1,647 yuan for shrubbery land per mu. 2) The Expense of Reclaiming Temporary Land Acquisition According to the Temporary Land Rehabilitation Plan in the project, both the restoration engineering measures and plant measures of temporary construction site are included in the soil and water conservation design. Only reclamation of the temporary dry farmland acquisition is planned in this report, and the reclaiming area is 130.9 mu. Based on analysis on the engineering volume and the unit price that is necessary to reclaiming per mu cultivated land of the earth material site, the expense of reclaiming cultivated land is RMB 3,439 yuan per mu through calculation.

4.3.4 Relocation Compensation Reference and Standards for Residential House and Auxiliaries 1) Residential House The dwellers‘ residential houses in the project area are mostly brick concrete, brick wood and wood structures. In order to constitute reasonably compensation standards to make relocated household acquire the compensation equal to the replacement value, we investigated and analyzed the resettlement prices of brick concrete buildings and brick wood houses in the area affected by the project at the same time of investigating physical indices. The material consumption of house construction is determined by the relevant quota from Quota Manual of Architecture and Construction. Based on budgetary price of building materials in the fourth quarter of 2005 in Qiyang County, the price of materials is determined through analysis: the replacement value of rural residential brick concrete house is RMB 317 yuan per square meter, the replacement value of brick wood house is RMB 280 yuan per square meter, the replacement value of simple structure is RMB 60 yuan per square meter; the replacement value of urban residential brick concrete house is RMB 375 yuan per square meter, the replacement value of brick wood house is RMB 331 yuan per square meter, the replacement value of simple structure is 80 yuan per square meter. For details of analysis on replacement value of residential houses with various types of structures, see Table 4.3-4~4.3-5. In general, these compensation rates will be used by the resettlement office as lowest limit. The implemented compensation rates will be based on actual appraised values in the project areas, which will be higher than these compensation rates. Considering the different rate of decoration and building materials of residential houses in the project area, compensation standards for residential house with various types of structure in this project can fluctuate within the range of 10% or so. According to location factor of demolished houses as well as relocation and resettlement mode, through the consultation among Qiyang PMO and affected work units as well as its department in charge, the compensation for relocation and demolition of urban houses in urban flood control project of Qiyang County shall be executed with reference to Implementation Methods of Demolition Compensation Resettlement in Qiyang County: all the urban residential houses are compensated according to the mode of cash resettlement in principle. Among them, the land portion is compensated as RMB 60 yuan per square meter, and compensation standard for the structure complies with the replacement value. For rural residence, the new housing plots are unifiedly arranged in principle, and compensation standard for relocation and demolition of house complies with replacement value. Based on this calculation, compensation standards for relocation and demolition of residential houses in urban flood control project of Qiyang County are presented in Table 4.3-6.

5. Resettlement and Rehabilitation Measures
5.1 Resettlement and Rehabilitation Objectives Make proper compensation and appropriate resettlement in order to insure the productivity, income level and living conditions of the affected people could be restored or improved.
5.2 Resettlement Population Calculation According to the investigation, 1377 households with 5678 persons are affected by the land acquisition, of which 518 agriculture persons need economic rehabilitation and 1380 persons in 237 households need new houses. According to the time schedule of the project construction, the resettlement implementation will be commenced at the end of 2007, which is close to the investigation basic year, so the resettlement plan is prepared based on the population to be relocated as actually investigated, not take the nature increase of population into account. 5.2.1 Economic Rehabilitation Population As the project is linearly distributed along the upper reaches of Qishui River and Xiangjiang River, most persons affected by land acquisition will lose a little part of their lands only. According to the detailed survey, the project will permanently occupy cultivated land in 48 villager groups from 10 village (residential) committees in 1 town, and affect 5061 persons in 1233 households, with the lost cultivated land per capita of 0.05mu. In terms of number of people who need economic rehabilitation, which refers those who would lose all their farmland holding, it is calculated by dividing amount of acquired farmland in each affected village group by the per capita farmland holding in that village group. The calculation formula is as follow: K= L/P Where: K stands for the number of people who need economic rehabilitation population in every villagers group. L stands for the area of occupied cultivated land due to the project in every villagers group; P stands for the existing per capita cultivated land in every villagers group; According to the above formula, in the project affected area, 518 agricultural persons need economic rehabilitation. The calculation of economic rehabilitation population in every village‘s group is shown in details in Table 5.2-1.

5.3 General Scheme for Resettlement The Urban Flood Control Project in Qiyang County of Hunan Province will affect a few of houses and lands of villages (residential committees) along flood dike line, and will not create great unfavorable impact on existing production and livelihood in most affected villages (residential committees). By means of participatory task, the opinions were widely collected in the townships (sub-district) or villages to be affected due to construction of flood dike. Based on their opinions and suggestion, and considering the actual situation in project impact area, the general scheme for resettlement was established as follows: 1) According to the overall urban planning in Qiyang County, no housing plot will be arranged for affected urban residents, and the concentrated resettlement by property right exchange and cash compensation will be adopted for them. 2) The affected rural residents (agricultural population) will be relocated in their original communities, as it can keep their original production type, livelihood and social relation, facilitate the recovery and improvement of their production and income standards after land acquisition and demolition, and improve their enthusiasm and adaptability in livelihood and production. 3) Concerning the production, the affected farmers will be resettled in the existing groups after obtaining the compensation for young crops and ground attachments. The economic rehabilitation will be achieved by partial adjustment of cultivated lands for agricultural production relying on lands, and by taking auxiliary measures for production development, such as improvement of water resource facilities, adjustment of agricultural planting structure, improvement of low-yield farmland and change of dryland to paddy field, so as to fully develop the potentialities of the existing land and to ensure the food production capacity of the resettlement people. The land compensation fee and the resettlement subsidies should be controlled and put into utilization by the villager‘s group collective, or directly allocated to the affected farmers. Considering the resource situation in project affected area, some affected farmers will be relocated by means of direct cash compensation. The land compensation fee should be controlled and put into utilization by the villager‘s group collective, and the resettlement subsidies should be directly paid to the farmers affected by the land acquisition. The affected farmers will be engaged in other agricultural activities (such as adjustment of industrial structure, and development of greenhouse vegetable) or non-agricultural activities by use of this compensation, so their production and living standards will be soon rehabilitated.

5.4 Environmental Capacity Analysis The environmental capacity of resettlement area is refers to the number of resettlers that an area can support and absorb with normal economic and ecological sustainability. The scope of this investigation on resettlement‘s environmental capacity is based on the rehabilitation scheme that is proposed in Resettlement Plan. As majority of the farmland in project areas have been in possession of others, the agricultural populations who finally need rehabilitation by land have to share original land resources with residents in the host areas, and are guaranteed to get mutual benefit with local residents. To achieve this objective, a series of measures should be taken to increase agricultural income, such as increase investment on agriculture, improve fertility of field, change variety of crops, transform low-yield fields and change dry farm lands into paddy fields. The analysis on the change of land holding among affected villages and groups (Table 5.2-1) indicates: the current cultivated land per capita in 10 affected villages is 0.59mu, which will be reduced to 0.54mu after land acquisition, decreased by 0.05mu per capita or 8%. After land acquisition, there are 29 groups among 48 groups (in 10 affected villages) with their residual farmlands per capita over 0.5mu. Among them, 1st Group in Sunshi Village in Wuxi Town enjoys the most residual farmlands per capita, averaging 3.02mu per capita. Among these affected groups, a large number of farmlands are in low yield because of low investment, lack of management, poor soil fertility, simple crop, and incomplete irrigation facilities. Therefore the ameliorative measures, including increasing investment on low yield field, improving soil fertility, adjusting farming system, replanting improved crops variety, building farmland water resource facilities, and reinforcing field management, shall be adopted to fully exploit the potential of cultivated lands, improve the production level and yield per unit area, and consequently reach the resettlement target value. However there are 19 groups among 48 groups (in 10 villages) with their average farmland below 0.5 mu per person after land acquisition. Among them, 2nd Group in Dongjiang Village in Wuxi Town has the largest proportion of occupied farmland, totaling 60%, and the residual farmland is 0.05mu/person. The main reason for different proportions of occupied farmlands is that all these villages are located in the urban planning area of Qiyang County and in recent years most of farmland in these villages had been acquired following the rapid development and expansion of Qiyang County. Since for those agricultural populations who need rehabilitation by farmland, they have to share limited land resources with residents in the affected villages, the limited land holding makes it hard to guarantee mutual benefit for both resettlers and local residents. Concerning this, other related measures should be carried out to provide economic rehabilitation for those village groups with per capita farmland below 0.5 mu/person after land acquisition, which include providing cash compensation to the affected persons for other
97 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
economic activities development (such as production structure adjustment, green house vegetables development) or non-agricultural economic activates development (such as livestock breeding), so as to increase their income, as well as eliminate their poverty situation.
5.5 Resettlement Plan 5.5.1 Rehabilitation Plan for Livelihood Rehabilitation 5.5.1.1 Choice of Rehabilitation Method In March 2006, the resettlement design unit carried out the on-site investigation, optimization and demonstration in collaboration with Employer and the local governments at various levels. According to the practical situations of project-affected area and resettlers‘ opinions, the mode of scattered resettlement in their existing village has been adopted for the resettlers‘ relocation in this project. A contract should be signed between the relocatee and the project sponsor or the land acquisition implementation agency, and the contract should include the compensation methods, the sum of the compensation fee, area and site of relocation houses, time limit of relocation, the transfer methods and the time limit of transfer etc. The relocatee has the right to choose resettlement method and resettlement locations upon their willingness. 5.5.1.2 Principle and Procedure for Selecting Resettlement Sites 1) Principles The aim of rehabilitation of housing condition is to provide the relocated households with safe, convenient and graceful living environment. ①The new residential areas should have good terrain and geological conditions and reliable drinking water source. ②The location of new residential areas should be compatible with the economic rehabilitation plan. ③The location of new residential areas should be convenient for production, living and management. ④Save land, especially the cultivated land, as much as possible. ⑤Take the future population increase into account and leave rooms for further development. ⑥The distribution of houses in the residential areas should be based on the terrain conditions and take the lighting, ventilation, sanitation and greening conditions into account. ⑦The design of houses should meet the requirements of the relocatees and their financial abilities. 2) Procedures Based on the above principles, after on-site investigation and analyzing the terrain, geological, traffic, power and water source conditions, the location of new residential area is selected after negotiation with representative of relocatee and local government, taking the relocatees‘ living and production
98 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
conditions into account. 5.5.1.3 Planning of Demolition and Housing 237 households with 1,380 persons will be affected in house demolition, the property rights transposition, move-back resettlement, and cash compensation will be adopted for their resettlement. 1) Exchange of Property Rights and Concentrated Resettlement According to investigation of resettlers‘ will, 17 households with 100 persons in stock seed farm would like to choose exchange of property rights and concentrated resettlement. They ask for the resettlement houses that occupy the same area as the former one under the uniform arrangement of the government. According to the principle of ‗unified planning, unified design, unified distribution, unified management and unified construction‘ specified in urban planning of Qiyang County, the Project Executive agency and Implementation agency of land acquisition and house demolition will cooperate with local government to decide and develop new centered resettlement sites, build the flat-type residents for resettlers‘ selections. According to the spot-investigation by county PMO and Resettlement Design Unit, and consultation results of local governments at every level, some relevant units and resettlement representatives, the specific compensation resettlement of exchange of property rights of this project are shown in the following: a) At the early stage, the new resettlement site of exchange of property rights in this project will be set at 6th and 7th Groups in Guangming Village, Wuxi Town, and Qiyang County. It was planned that 8 mu lands be occupied in 6th and 7th Groups in Guangming Village, Wuxi Town, Qiyang County, with the building density of 2.1 and the afforestation ratio of 38.1%. Additionally, 80 sets of apartment units in 3 apartment buildings with 4 front shops are proposed to be constructed, with the building area of 5,000 km2. b) The flat type of new resident are varied: two rooms with a reception room (65 m2), two rooms with two reception rooms (80 m2), three rooms with two reception rooms (95 m2), and four rooms with two reception rooms (120 m2), equipped with kitchen and washroom; c) The standard for new houses is uniform door and window installation, uniform decoration of external walls, as well as cement ground, putty inner wall, and sufficient water and power supply; d) If the compensation building area of exchange of property rights is the same as the building area of the demolition house, the calculation of price difference won‘t be conducted: if the compensation building area is smaller than the former building area, the compensation for short part will be calculated at the price of commercial housing (RMB 500yuan/m2); if the compensation building area is larger than the former building area (the over area is smaller than the 15% of the former building area), the compensation will be calculated at the price of replacement value (RMB 435yuan/m2), and
99 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
if the compensation building area is larger than the former building area (the over area is larger than the 15% of the former building area), the compensation will be calculated at the price of commercial housing (RMB 500yuan/m2). e) The new houses after property rights exchanging could only be sold in the market after the completion of commercial housing sales by the developer. 2) Move-back and Resettle Locally In order to minimize the unfavorable impact on affected households due to project construction, during the project impact investigation and resettlement planning, the consultation meeting participated by the town (sub-district) and village (residential committee) cadres and some resettler representatives have been held in the affected towns (sub-districts) and villages (residential committees), and the economic rehabilitation schemes for resettlers was discussed. According to the relocatees‘ wishes and the practical situations, it was initially determined that 1,263 persons in 217 households shall be move-backed and resettled locally in the village which they formerly belong to. According to the principle of unified planning, unified land acquisition and separate construction, they will be compensated with fees that are enough to build a house similar to the existing one and they are responsible to build their new house on the land arranged by the village. The land area used for rebuilding the house was determined within 120~150m2 according to the existing national Land Administration Law, Implementation Methods for Land Administration in Hunan Province and Compensation Methods for Land Acquisition and Demolition in Qiyang County. Due to the different influence caused by the project construction differentiating from one village to another in the project area as well as the different resources structure and infrastructure conditions in each village, according to the villagers‘ opinion, the actual situations and the principle of convenient for production and easy to live, each village should provide at least two different resettlement sites, in which 3 to 8 households can be resettled. In addition, the villages should also provide necessary assistance in the process of house reconstruction and relocation. A total of 25 resettlement sites have been set up in 10 villages along project area, so as to resettle 1,263 persons in 217 households. According to the standard of using the land, the standard of resettlement compensation and local custom, this project designed 4 types of house for the resettlers as examples. To rebuild their houses, the resettlers can choose one type of the house example or design their house by themselves according to their wishes and economic situations. The details of house examples are shown in Figure 3. 3) Cash Compensation Resettlement According to resettlers‘ will and actual situation of project affected area, 17 persons in 3 households in stock seed farm will be relocated by giving cash compensation. With the compensation fee enough to

5.5.1.4 Infrastructures and Public Facilities 1) Resettlement by Cash Compensation The persons who are willing to be relocated with cash compensation can purchase commercial houses or economic affordable houses at the market by themselves. Before purchase, the surroundings and the construction status of supporting facilities in the residential area shall be taken into consideration. No inconvenience will be occurred when residing in this area. 2) Scattered Resettlement in Existing Villages There is no special planning since the resettlement by means of move-back and resettle locally can rely on existing infrastructures and social service systems. For affected local infrastructure facilities, in addition to provide compensation and restore them to original conditions and functions, the local governments could also, according to the local economic situation and the principle of ‗Convenient for production and easy to live‘, reasonably improve the facilities in the resettlement areas by providing additional funding or increasing the investment, making overall arrangement and constructing at the same time. 3) Concentrated Resettlement by Property Rights Transposition 100 persons in 17 households will be concentratedly relocated in Guangming Village by property rights transposition. The lands for resettlement are principally the dryland, and the current roads can be used for external access. a. Site leveling: About 7mu dryland is planned to be leveled as housing plot. b. Electric power facility: After concentrated resettlement, the electric power can be supplied to relocatees by current lines. Partial electricity transmitting and transferring facilities in resettlement sites shall be improved. c. Drainage facility: It is proposed to use the close-type drainage ditches in resettlement sites. The main ditch is proposed to be laid on both sides of road, with the drainage type of rain and wastewater confluence. The main drainage ditch is planned to be 0.3km in total length, and the branch ditch is 0.7km. d. Water supply facility: It is proposed to conduct concentrated water supply to resettlement sites from Qiyang Water Works, and the main water supply line is planned to be 3km. e. Others: Since the resettlement sites are close to former residential places of relocatees, the traffic is convenient, so no school, hospital and other institution will be established. The former social service networks are still applicable for relocatees‘ medical care and education. The development area and village will be responsible to construct infrastructures in the resettlement location and the investments will be covered by the compensation for infrastructures.

5.5.1.5 Assistance in Resettlement The land acquisition and resettlement implementation agency will be responsible for assisting resettlers at every aspect during the entire process of the resettlement: 1) Understand and try to satisfy the resettlers‘ needs before the resettlement. 2) Help the resettlers dealing with their troubles such as arranging the vehicles and assisting the remove during the process of resettlement. 3) Try to realize the resettlers‘ comfort and discomfort and try to solve their difficulties in time after the resettlement. 5.5.2 Economic Rehabilitation Planning for Resettlers 5.5.2.1 Economic Rehabilitation Objective for Resettlers The reconstruction and rehabilitation of production and livelihood is the key standard to judge the feasibility of resettlement. In order to ensure that the livelihood of resettlers will not decrease, the rehabilitation and improvement of resettlers‘ current net income per capita as the objective of resettlement planning. In March 2006, with the assistance of Employer and government at each level, the resettlement design unit investigated the affected farmers on their household properties, income and expenditure conditions, and listed the information household by household. According to the analysis on the income and expenses of agricultural family, in 2005, the annual net income in project area was RMB 2,497 yuan. No matter whether the project will be conducted or not, the level of social economy in project area will be improved, as well as the net income per capita. During the period of 2003~2005, the annual growth rate of net income per capita in rural project area reached 5.5%. In order to guarantee that the resettlers will reach or exceed their former living standard after relocation, the net income per capita must reach RMB 2,932 yuan when the project is completed. 5.5.2.2 Economic Rehabilitation Strategy According to the agricultural means of production status and local agricultural production level in project area, the input and output level analysis has been conducted for the economic rehabilitation project for resettlers in project area. The economic rehabilitation strategy was established. For those village groups with sufficient land holdings after land acquisition (25 village groups out of 48 with per capita land holding being 0.5 mu or more after land acquisition), land readjustment will be carried out, which will ensure adequate landholding will be available for all affected persons. The basic investment standard for providing each person of rehabilitation through the development of secondary & tertiary industries will be based on degree of land loss among affected people, averaging about RMB 10,000 per person. 5.5.2.3 Economic Rehabilitation Planning for Resettler
103 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
In April 2006, the resettlement design unit and the Employer, together with the relevant department, conducted the on site survey on the project affected land, water surface, and other natural resources. In the course of resettlement planning and project impact investigation, the consultation meeting with the project affected town (sub-district) and village cadre, and some resettler representatives have been held, and the economic rehabilitation schemes for resettlers was discussed. Through the analysis on the geographic position, land resources ownership, income structure of local residents, and based on the extensive consultation with the resettlers, the overall economic rehabilitation scheme was developed as follows: in-group adjust cultivated lands of 194.96 mu, including paddy field of 149.78mu, dryland of 32.14mu and vegetable land of 13.04mu, for resettling 290 persons; and develop secondary and tertiary industries, such as business, transportation and service, for resettling 228 persons.

1) In-group Cultivated Land Adjustment According to survey, the affected persons in project area would like to choose the economic rehabilitation mode of re-allocating the cultivated land in groups. The land resources in these groups are abundant, and the cultivated land per capita after land acquisition is 0.5mu ~ 2.23mu. The affected villagers are accustomed to make a living on the farmland, and lack other skills of making a living, so they would like to keep their traditional production mode and means of living. In the overall project planning, 194.96 mu cultivated land will be adjusted within the groups for 290 resettlers. After adjustment, the cultivated land per person in this group will be less. In order to keep a simultaneous development of resettlers‘ living level as other villagers‘, it is necessary to develop fully the latent capacity of the remaining cultivated land, to insist the principle which is called that ―exchanging quality for quantity‖, and to enhance the yield and output value of the remaining cultivated land. As most of cultivated lands in the project scope are located at the banks of river presently, they are often inundated by flood, so the actual yield is considerably low. The flood standards will be improved after project implementation. In this project, together with the implementation of agricultural structure adjustment item, some agricultural technicians shall be hired to strengthen the agricultural technique training of rural resettlers and to guide them to fulfill the measures of ―improving low yield land, changing dry farmland into paddy field‖, rightly to enhance the elemental area output value and the cultivated land capacity, so as to fully and well rehabilitate the resettlers in this village with cultivated land adjustment in this villager‘ s group. 2) Development of Secondary and Tertiary Industries According to the investigation, there are few residual cultivated lands in 13 groups in Wuxi Town. Therefore, it is unable to adjust cultivated lands in groups. Since these groups are close to Qiyang County, and many persons with high enthusiasm are engaged in secondary and tertiary industries, so 228 persons can be relocated by developing such secondary and tertiary industries as business, transportation and service, and by technical training and guidance. As the resettlement scheme of the project area is determined in terms of the opinions of most resettlers, maybe individual resettlers will disagree with the resettlement scheme of their village and group, and other modes shall be adopted, the PMO will try best to coordinate and settle the problems. If the resettlers have their own approaches for revenues, namely, they have fixed operation sites in other places, applicable operation skills and production equipment, or relatively steady income resources, as well as they accept cash compensation and they want to find jobs by themselves, after the EA verifies if they completely meet the self-employed conditions, and they sign the resettlement agreement, receive the notarial certificate and go through other procedures during the project implementation process, the resettlement subsidies will be directly paid to the self-employed persons. For the groups
106 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
and villages need cash compensation, if individual resettlers want to undertake agricultural production, the EA will help them obtain land, and continue agricultural production. 5.5.2.4 Total Investment for Economic Rehabilitation 1) Cultivated Land Adjustment Under the project, the cultivated land will be .redistributed by means of compensation which will be calculated based on the unit compensation price in the project area. It is proposed to adjust cultivated lands of 194.96mu, needing land adjustment fee of RMB 4.3786 million yuan. 2) Development of Secondary and Tertiary Industries The proposed secondary and tertiary industries mainly include transportation, business and service, and the investment standard is determined at RMB 10,000 yuan/person based on the development of other similar projects and the actual situation in project area. It is proposed to resettle 228 persons by developing secondary and tertiary industries, with the total investment of RMB 2.28 million yuan. Based on the analysis and calculation of above items, a total of RMB 6.6586 million yuan shall be invested for economic rehabilitation in project area. For details, please see Table 5.5-3.

5.5.2.5 Balance between Land Compensation Fee and Economic Rehabilitation Investment According to the relative resettlement articles: ― The land compensation and resettlement subsidies, is used by the institutions with land acquired, for production rehabilitation and development, and arranging the employment for the surplus labor forces caused by the land acquisition, livelihood subsidies for people incapable for work. It can also be contracted to the county (city) and be unitedly allocated by the county (city) for land development, production and livelihood resettlement for resettlers. But these special funds must be used for the specific purpose. The funds shall not be privately shared or used for other purposes.‖ In case that the land compensation and resettlement subsidies can not meet the requirements of production and resettlement, the resettlement subsidies can be increased according to the situation. Therefore, the land compensation fee and resettlement subsidies, as the only fund
107 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
resource of the resettlers‘ production and resettlement, must be equal to or a little more than the total investment of economic rehabilitation. According to the economic rehabilitation plan, the required economic rehabilitation population in this project is 518. The investment for production development project is RMB 6.6586 million yuan in total (See 5.5-4 for details). The permanent land acquisition compensation fee in the project area is RMB 8.6775 million yuan in total, a little more than required investment for other economic rehabilitation. This indicates that the land compensation standard is considerably suitable, and can meet the fund requirement of economic rehabilitation. The fund margins can be unitedly used for continuous development by each village group, such as launching village-owned enterprises, land resources development and used as fund investment for other projects as improving low-yield farmland and converting dry farmland to paddy fields, etc., to ensure that the livelihood level of the resettlers reaches or exceeds their previous standard. 5.5.2.6 Forecast of Economic Income Level Resettlement production development means to combine resettlement with project construction, resource exploitation, soil and water conservation and economic development and make resettlement production reach or exceed intrinsic living condition step by step. Planning scheme of production development is brought out on the basis of natural and social economic characters of project region and collecting opinions of resettlement. Analysis of output profits of its developing items is as follows: Secondary and tertiary industries: According to the investigation, the persons engaged in secondary and tertiary industries achieved sound operation. Taking transportation service for example, each passenger vehicle (minibus) is provided with one driver and one attendant, since the annual average net income exceeds RMB 10,000 yuan, so the net income per capita is over RMB 8,000 yuan/year. 5.5.2.7Rehabilitation Measures for Resettlers’ Economic Income The project implementation agency will offer help and support to the resettlers as much as possible during the whole course of resettler livelihood recovery in this project. They include 1) Distribute resettlement subsidy and help resettlers to become self-employed. Any labor output project in the county area will give priority to the affected persons. 2) Strengthen the training of production skills for resettlers and invite experienced specialists to train the resettlers to develop cultivation industry and livestock breeding industry. 3) Give first priority to the resettlers when hire labor for the project construction. According to the design of this project construction organization, the project construction will totally take up 0.5213 million working days with labor force, and will afford some employment chances including land levelling and landscape works. Though some project tasks will be temporary, the income of these employees, according to income survey of the same work type in Qiyang
108 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
County, will be RMB 1,000~1,500 yuan/month. Thus, the local resettlers will be given short-term incomes which will be useful to enhancing living level of affected people and restoring their income and livelihoods. 5.5.3 Resettlement Villages Planning A total of 10 villages will be involved in the land acquisition under the project, of which the groups in Jiaoshan Village, Wuxi Town, will be greatly affected, with 25.23% of their lands to be acquired, while the groups in Tuqing Village, Wuxi Town, will be slightly affected, with 2.11% of lands to be acquired on average. The planning focuses on five villages with the land acquisition ratio over 10%. 5.5.3.1 Jiaoshan Village of Wuxi Town 1) Current State Jiaoshan Village is an administrative village subordinated to Wuxi Town of Qiyang County located in the left bank of Xiangjiang River, at the middle south part of the county and with 1km away from the center of Qiyang County. The village borders on Wuxi Town in the east, and the County Original Seeds Plant in the west. There are village-grade highways between all villages, and the communication is very convenient. The whole village is composed of 22 villager‘s groups and has 404 households with 2,019 persons, among which 1,120 are agricultural population, and 899 are non-agricultural population. The net income of per capita was RMB 2,017 yuan in 2004. 70 households with the proportion of 17.3% in the village engage in the second and third industries such as catering, clothing, goods, etc. The proportion of labor force in the village is 54%, among which 319 persons are working outside mainly in the Guangdong, Fujian, etc., engaging in the industries such as service, shoe making, etc. The agriculture in Jiaoshan Village focuses on planting two-crop paddy and vegetable. The total cultivated land is 777 mu, of which 692 mu of paddy field and 52 mu of vegetable land, and the per capita cultivated land of the agricultural population is 0.69 mu. 2) Impact by Land Requisition and Demolition The land acquisition of the project will actually affect 68 households with 272 persons, of which, 25 households with 146 persons which are all rural resettlers are affected by house demolition; the cultivated land requisitioned is 28 mu, of which 18 mu of dry farmland and 10 mu of vegetable land. The cultivated land per capita after land requisition is 0.67 mu, 0.02 mu less than that before the land requisition. The decrease proportion of cultivated area after land acquisition is 3.6%. For the details of the cultivated land acquisition, see the table 5.5-4.

3) Resettlement Measures Based on the extensive consultation with resettlers, through discussion, the two committees of the village made a decision based on the actual condition of the village, that the resettlers of the village would be resettled in accordance with the following measures: —— Economic Rehabilitation Measures: The land acquisition in Jiaoshan Village will affect 272 persons,
110 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
29 of which require economic rehabilitation. Based on the extensive consultation with resettlers, through discussion of the committee of the village and by considering the actual conditions that the surplus cultivated land in the 15th and 17th groups is relatively sufficient, it is planned to undertake cultivated land adjustment within the groups. Based on the average land holding after land acquisition, a total of 17.34 mu cultivated land will be adjusted and distributed to 16 persons. The land compensation fee and subsidies shall be paid to each villagers‘ group, based on the agreement of two-thirds resettlers, which can use the funds to improve the water conservancy facilities to enhance the yield. It is planned to build 1,000m irrigation canals, with a total investment of RMB 95,000 yuan, in the 15th and 17th groups of Jiaoshan Village. For the 16th group of Jiaoshan Village, it is difficult to carry out the in-group land adjustment, due to less than 0.5mu land holding after land acquisition. According to the relevant national policies, more than 75% of the land compensation fee and the subsidies shall be paid to each household. The funds shall be used for the development of secondary and tertiary industries, including commerce and service business, for the economic rehabilitation of 13 persons. —— Relocation Resettlement Measures: On the basis of the resettlers‘ will, the committee of the village determined that 146 persons will be resettled within the existing village groups by means of scattered and moving-back resettlement based on the housing plot arranged by the village collective. The rebuilt housing plot standard is 120m2～150m2/household. The resettlers can build and demolish houses by themselves, the losing property will be compensated in accordance with related policies, provide livelihood subsidy for the moving conveyance fee, matched infrastructural facilities fee for the new housing plot. In the process of resettlement, the project implementation agency and village committee will provide necessary assistance. 5.5.3.2 Wuxi Village of Wuxi Town 1) Current State Wuxi Village is an administrative village subordinated to Wuxi Town of Qiyang County located in the left bank of Xiangjiang River, at the south part of the county and with 0.8km away from the center of Zhishan County. The village borders on Jiaoshan Village of Wuxi Town in the west, Tuqing Village in the south and Baihua Village in the north. Because the No. 322 national highway passes through the village and there are village-grade highways between all villages, the communication is very convenient. The whole village is composed of 13 villager‘s groups and has 340 households with 1,699 persons. The net income of per capita was RMB 2,345 yuan in 2004. 12 households with the proportion of 5.9% in the village engage in the second and third industries such as catering, clothing, goods, etc. The proportion of labor force in the village is 53%, 10% of which are working outside mainly in the Guangdong, Shenzhen, etc., engaging in the industries such as electronics, shoe making, security, etc. The agriculture in Wuxi Village focuses on planting paddy, which is two-crop paddy.

131 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
house-building scheme for resettlement and production resettlement modes should be consistent with mass opinions so that programming is in reason and resettlers are satisfied. In the stage of resettlement implementation, more consultation will take place by ways of group discussion and resettlers‘ opinions survey, collect resettlers‘ information, investigate resettlers‘ desire, and further refine resettlement and rehabilitation scheme. To ensure that the resettlers and local government in the affected area understand the detailed information of the resettlement plan and the resettlement and compensation plan of the project, propaganda to the resettlers the laws and regulations on national resettlement through public participation (colloquia) or local media (such as TV) from the start to the implementation of resettlement plan, so resettlers will know exactly practicality index quantities, the computation method of compensation standard and methods, resettlement measures, appropriation and usage of the resettlement compensation and assistance fund, the rights and compensation method of the resettlers, etc. At the same time, similar information should also be disclosed to the residents in the resettlement area to make them know more about land acquisition information, land compensation standard, fund usage and resettlement information. Disclose resettlement work to gain the support and confidence from both groups to ensure the success of resettlement work.

7.4 Public Participation and Plan in Implementation of Resettlement Plan Resettlers should be encouraged to participate in the whole process of implementation of resettlement planning of the project. 7.4.1 Participation in the Houses Rebuilding and Resettlement 1) Houses Compensation Standards The houses compensation standard is very important to the resettlers‘ benefits. Before the houses are removed, relative organs should consulate and sign contracts on houses compensation standard with resettlers. Consultation results should be publicized before signing agreements so as to accept mass supervision. 2) Houses Rebuilding Location and Method In the stage of preparation and compilation of Resettlement Plan, relative department survey the resettlement houses rebuilding location and method. According to the surveying results of the resettlers‘ opinions, most resettlers would like to adopt the resettlement method of exchanging property rights. Local government will offer help in every stage of resettlement and building houses. 3) Dealing with the Old Houses All the removed houses will receive houses compensation according to replacement value. The removed household can first remove then build or first build then remove according to their willingness in the prescribed time. Old materials of the formal houses can be used by removed household. 7.4.2 Participation in Production Resettlement All the villagers of every village and group should participate in the adjustment and distribution of land and start-up of other agricultural development project, and especially take care of resettlers who have special requirements of land. 7.4.3 Participation in the Usage and Management of Land Compensation Fee Land compensation fee should be owned by collective of villages and groups, any unit and individual should not withhold and appropriate.

In order to ensure the affected people can benefit from the project, mass are encouraged to participate in the project construction and provide convenience in materials and labor services.
136 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
7.5 Women Participation From the start of the project, a great effort has been made on the function of women by the implementation institution of the project and local government. Concern women and families where women are the householder and bring women into play in the process of implementation of resettlement plan. In the affected area, women‘s rights, interests and status should be the same as that of men. Women play an important role in economic development activities and housework. Especially in the country, most women stay at home, more men go into the city to find jobs. So besides family responsibility women play an important role in tilling and non-farm work. So in the area affected by the project, women will pay more attention to the project than women, they not only take part in every stage of work of resettlement but also give fineness rein to the direction and method of resettlement. In the period of surveying the project at large, all Women Directors of resettlement villages are invited to participate in surveying work group to propaganda and communicate with affected women; In the small group discussion of resettlers, more than 40% is female, besides they support the project actively, they showed that they pay closer attention to the correctness of surveyed index in kind, rationality of compensation standard and whether the compensation fee can reach in time etc. In the resettlement planning stage, resettlement design unit actively invite female resettlers representatives to discuss together, accept their opinions, requirements and existing problems on production resettlement and resettlement of demolition and houses building. The consultation work has positive significance in releasing women from the worry of living source and traditional production pattern and achieving equal proceeds in the production. Meantime, arrange for at least one-woman cadre in all levels of setup of the project; encourage women to participate in the implementation of the resettlement planning. A great deal of effort will be made on the women‘s demolition activities, especially the livelihood rehabilitation by resettlement implementation setup and local government in the process of implementation of the project. Give priority to women and provide more opportunities in the project construction.
7.6 Harmonization with the Residents in Resettlement Area The resettlement demolition of the project is mainly to buy houses by themselves and build houses centrally, the former resettlers can choose place to buy house where they can adapt the new living environment. The latter resettlers can be harmonious with residents in resettlement area because the resettlement‘s life doesn‘t change much and they share the common life and custom habits. Of course, it doesn‘t mean that there is no estrangement and conflict between the resettlers and former residents.
137 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
In order to establish good relationship between them, the following work should be done: 1) Before removal, resettlers and residents in the resettlement area should take part in the resettlement planning. If you want to get cooperation, participation and feedback opinions of resettlement area and resettlers, introduce to them their rights and schemes they can choose. They can have their own choice from a number of resettlement schemes. They can consult with them directly or define through formal or informal leaders and representatives. In most conditions, do some system arrangement such as project official holds regular meetings with local groups so that resettlers and residents in the resettlement area can show their opinions in the whole period of planning and implementation of the project. Must make effort to see that vulnerable populations express their opinions adequately. 2) Try to decrease the impact on the residents in resettlement area. There may be conflict between resettlers and residents in the resettlement area if resettlers need more land, water sources, wood land and society services, or society and houses facilities provided for resettlers succeed the level of residents in resettlement area. So in order to avoid such conflict, the livelihood condition and society service of the residents in resettlement area should be improved, at least avoid deterioration. Try to provide for two groups the perfect education, water supply and medical service and create better social atmosphere for their permeation.

9. Environment Protection and Management
9.1 The Necessity of Environment Protection The environment evaluation of main body of resettlement investment project shall include the impact of resettlement on the environment. The planning of resettlement shall be conducted with environment evaluation. It is necessary to demarcate the line of resettlement area and calculate the increment of population density in unit area. In agricultural project, if the number of the resettlers is larger than the original number of this resettlement area, the aggravating environment problems will come along, such as deforestation, excessive depasturing, the water and soil loss and the pollution of the hygienic conditions etc. Therefore, appropriate eased measures (including the training of resettlers) shall be included in the resettlement planning, besides other resettlement places can also be chosen. And the urban resettlers will cause the relevant problems related to the population density (such as communication capacity, drinking-water source, hygienic system and medical & healthy treatment etc.). Constructive environmental management methods can supply both good opportunities and benefits to the resettlers and the residents in the resettlement area. If the resettlement causes an unacceptable consequence, we must find another resettlement site or add the resettlement points.
9.2 Liquidation of Relocation All kinds of rubbish, which are produced during the demolition of the various buildings and their attachments within the project range shall all be spoiled in the place designated by the Qiyang County Environmental Hygiene Administration. The houses and their attachments within the project range shall be demolished; their walls shall be torn down and leveled. And the interior pollution source within the project range shall be removed and disinfected. The existing wastewater of the industrial enterprises within the project range shall be drained off according to the stipulations. Poisonous waste slag shall be delivered to the appointed place and buried. And the warehouse used for storing the chemical materials shall be treated by poison elimination and neutralisation, so that the soil can meet the hygiene standard.
9.3 The Environment Management of the Resettlement Area The environment protection shall be fully considered during the planning and construction of resettlement area, we shall try our best to make the surroundings beautiful and comfortable. (1) Level the land of the cutting faces when excavating the new soil, and set up drainage ditches on the
142 Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project Resettlement Plan Hunan Province Hydro and Power Design Institute
cutting faces when necessary to reduce the water scouring to the cutting faces; the waste area shall be forested as soon as possible so as to avoid the water and soil loss; houses and public facilities shall be constructed with the least damage to the forestry vegetation; and trees shall be planted on both sides along the roads. (2) Do a good job of the new houses cleaning: Renovate the environment and spray pesticide before the resettlers move in, and clean the weed and wastewater container or other things both in front and back of the house after settling in. (3) Choose a healthy and clean water source: set up a solid reservoir if it is required to take the spring as the water source, such pollution source as toilet, filter pit, manure pit, livestock barn, waste pit, rubbish pit and waste slag pit etc. are not allowed to be set up in the area 20-30m around the water source.

1. Project Background The areas in Hunan Province, which are brought into this urban flood control project, are limited to the cities above county grade in hilly sections with relatively serious flood disaster. All the cities are considered as the areas with developed economy, dense population and centralized wealth. If the cities are submerged, the loss will be great, and the economic development will be supportless. At present, the urban flood control standard in the project area is low. Flood disaster happens in successive years, seriously restricts the urban economic development and affects the live and property safety of urban people. For Qiyang County, as the sub-project city of the urban flood control project under ADB loans, its flood and waterlogging control capacity can be absolutely improved through the project implementation. The flood control standard will be enhanced from the current 2-year occurrence to 20-year occurrence; and the waterlogging control will be enhanced from the no defend ability to 10-year occurrence. That can greatly reduce the urban flood control burden of Qiyang County and benefit the normal social development. The main engineering measures involved in land acquisition and relocation of Qiyang County Urban Flood Control Project are: reinforcing and new-building of embankment, re-new, reconstruction and new-building of culvert sluices and power allocation station, and there also is temporary land acquisition as project construction site and borrow area, etc. The areas in the project land acquisition, with the residents‘ production and living seriously affected by the project construction, are considered as the affected range of the project land acquisition and relocation. The final land acquisition and relocation range may be partially adjusted with the deepening of the designed depth. However, due to detailed survey conducted, such adjustment will be very limited and final scope of impact figures will not expect any major changes. 2. Project Affected Area and Quantity According to the investigation, the project permanent land acquisition affects 1 county, 1 town (sub-district), 10 villages (residential committees) and 48 villager‘s groups. In which, there are various project permanent land acquisition of 601.2 mu (including cultivated land area of 336 mu, occupying 55.89%); project temporary land acquisition of 312.41 mu (including dry farmland of 130.9 mu, shrubbery forest land of 181.51 mu); project relocated residential and non-residential houses of 17,797m2 (including brick concrete structure of 14,742m2, occupying 82.83%, brick wood structure of 2,856m2, occupying 16.05%, simple structure of 199m2, occupying 1.12%). The number of resettlement families affected by relocation is 1,380 persons from 237 households.
