Displaced Person (DP): Any person who experience full or partial, permanent or temporary physical displacement (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and economic displacement (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihoods) resulting from involuntary acquisition of land, or involuntary restriction on land use or access to legally designated parks and protected areas. Disabled Person (DP): a person or people (group of individuals) with an impairment or health condition who encounters disability or is perceived to be disabled. Entitlement: Range of measures comprising compensation, income restoration, transitional assistance, income substitution, and relocation which are due to displaced persons (DPs), depending on the nature of their losses, to restore their economic and social base. Cut-off-date: The date for eligibility for resettlement assistance. For this sub-project the final date of the impact assessment will be considered as the cut-off date. Land Acquisition: The process whereby a government agency compulsorily alienate all or part of the land and other assets a person owns or possesses and transfer the ownership and possession to the government agency for state needs subject to provision of compensation at replacement cost. Rehabilitation: Compensatory measures provided under the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan other than payment of the replacement cost of acquired assets.

Below Poverty Line (BPL) Households: Households whose monthly income is less than the official designated poverty line at the time of the census as determined by the Government of Azerbaijan based on the household budget surveys conducted by the State Statistical Committee. Vulnerable Households: Households headed by women, those are below the poverty line, disabled and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). 4 This Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) was prepared in accordance with the $VLDQ'HYHORSPHQW%DQN $'% ¶V6DIHJXDUG3ROLF\6WDWHPHQW 636 DQGWKHODZVDQG regulations on land acquisition and resettlement (LAR) in Azerbaijan. It outlines impacts, mitigation measures, cost estimates, and the implementation schedule to compensate the impacts caused by the Zardab Sub-Project under the Power Distribution Enhancement Investment Program ± Tranche 1 (L3407-AZE). Involuntary Resettlement (IR) category of the tranche 1 was set "C" as no LAR impacts were anticipated as per DDR prepared in July 2015. However, in June 2017 Tranche 1 of PDEIP MFF was re-categorized from "C" to "B" for involuntary resettlement due to LAR impacts associated with the changes in project scope. Based on the request from ADB an impact assessment was carried out by the Project Management Consultant (PMC) and the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) in assistance with contractors at all project sites. As s result, it was identified that the only upcoming impacts will be in Zardab-Ujar subproject, while past impact occurred only in Delimemmedli town which experienced acquisition of 0.36ha land plot from private person. Consequently, ADB agreed with Azerishig to prepare Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) for the upcoming impacts in Zardab and Corrective Action Plan (CAP) for Delimemmedli town. It was also agreed that Azerishig shall prepare Due Diligence Report (DDR) for all other sub-projects to confirm that there hasn't been and impacts and the remaining works will not have impacts on private assets and people's livelihoods. Therefore, this sub-project is the only project component having LAR impacts within the Tranche 1. The sub-project (as well as the entire Tranche) affects 7 households (HHs) having 30 family members. Azerishig will prepare and submit to ADB Due Diligence Reports (DDRs) for all other sub-projects and components of the Project. The subproject involves construction of 35/10/0.4 kv power transmission lines that has very few impacts limited to permanent acquisition of few square meters of agricultural lands to erect towers, and impacts on crops during stringing works. The subproject has been assessed by the team of social safeguard specialists from the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) of Azerishig and the Project Management Consultant (PMC). This LARP is based on the final detailed design of the subproject. Azerishig JSC, the Executing Agency, has overall responsibility for the Project, including the preparation, implementation and financing of all LAR tasks and interagency coordination. Azerishig will exercise its functions through the Project Implementation Unit (PIU), which handles day-to-day project activities. LAR tasks will be managed by the Investment Department of Azerishig in assistance with

  • Ways of Effective Use of the Municipal Land Fund of the Shirvan Steppe of Azerbaijan
    Agricultural and Biological Sciences Journal Vol. 7, No. 3, 2021, pp. 51-56 http://www.aiscience.org/journal/absj ISSN: 2381-7178 (Print); ISSN: 2381-7186 (Online) Ways of Effective Use of the Municipal Land Fund of the Shirvan Steppe of Azerbaijan Leyli Rashid Kizi Karimova * Department of Land Management and Cadastre, Faculty of Ecology and Soil Science, Baku State University, Baku, Azerbaijan Abstract After gaining state independence, land reforms began to be carried out in the Republic of Azerbaijan, as a result of which three types of property were created on the land fund, previously belonging only to state property - state, municipal and private. After that, for the rational use of land resources, their assessment began to have both scientific and theoretical and industrial significance. Taking this into account, we carried out an assessment of the municipal land fund of the Shirvan plain in order to develop the basics of effective use of these soils. Municipal lands of the Shirvan plain of the Republic of Azerbaijan with a total area of 265693.66 hectares were taken as the object of the study. The level of soil fertility was analyzed and determined on the basis of generally accepted methods, bonitet points were calculated based on the methods of Karmanov, Bulgakov and Mamedov. To achieve this goal, a number of works were carried out: the level of soil fertility, the degree of erodification, salinity and solonetsification of municipal lands included in the territory of the Shirvan plain was determined; the weighted average bonitet score of the territory was calculated, a structural map of the municipal land fund of the Shirvan plain was compiled, ways of rational use of municipal lands were investigated, and a set of agrotechnical and reclamation measures for its improvement was developed.
