Executive Summary

1. Background The S105 Longtang-Chaohu Section Reconstruction Project is one of the subprojects of the ADB financed project – Anhui Integrated Transport Sector Improvement Project. The subproject will promote the construction of the provincial capital economic circle with Hefei being the center and Lu’an and Chaohu being the wings, and drive the integrated development of Hefei, Lu’an and Chaohu Cities. It will have great significance in the construction of the provincial capital economic circle. Meanwhile, it will change the traffic conditions of the affected areas, reduce transport and resource development costs, strengthen the development of natural and tourist resources in the nearby areas, and promote economic development. The S105 Longtang-Chaohu Section Reconstruction Project involves Feidong County, Hefei and Juchao District, Chaohu; the land acquisition and resettlement of the Feidong section involves 10 villages in 2 Xiangs/towns of Feidong County, Hefei City and 13 villages in 3 Xiangs/towns of Juchao District, Chaohu City. The subproject broke ground in 2010 and will be completed in 2012. The land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement work of Feidong County began in December 2009 and ended in March 2011, and the land acquisition and house demolition work of Juchao District began in April 2010 and ended in May 2011, and resettlement is expected to end in March 2012. The estimated resettlement costs of the subproject are 137,405,400 yuan (based on prices of May 2011), including basic expenses for land acquisition (occupation) and house demolition, relevant taxes and contingencies, accounting for 15.11% of the whole project budget. 2. Resettlement Impacts The main impacts of the S105 Longtang-Chaohu Section Reconstruction Project are permanent land acquisition, temporary land occupation and demolition of residential houses. In the subproject, 1,286.87 mu of collective land has been acquired, including 940.03 mu of arable land (73.05%), 188.79 mu of rural land for construction (including housing land) (14.67%) and 158.05 mu of other land (12.28%), affecting 1,408 households with 5,224 persons directly. 472.2 mu of land has been occupied temporarily, including 212.5 mu for borrow pits (45%) and 259.7 mu for other purposes (55%); by land type, the occupied land includes 35 mu of paddy fields (7.4%), 437.2 mu of non-irrigated land (92.6%), affecting 428 households with 1,712 temporarily. Rural residential houses of 63,794.44 ㎡ have been demolished, including 26,345.8 ㎡ in masonry concrete structure (41.3%), 30,145.16 ㎡ in masonry timber structure (47.25%) and 7,303.49 ㎡ in simple structure (11.45%), affecting 533 households with 2,110 persons. Urban residential houses of 5,902.74 ㎡ have been demolished, including 2,797.91 ㎡ in masonry concrete structure (47.4%), 2,909.15 ㎡ in masonry timber structure (49.28%) and 195.68 ㎡ in simple structure (3.32%), affecting 65 households with 234 persons. In addition, the subproject will also affect 7 types of ground annexes, such as tombs, trees and telegraph poles. 3. Policy framework and entitlements To avoid or minimize the negative impacts of land acquisition, the affected villager teams and displaced persons have been consulted on the selection of the relocation sites at the feasibility study stage, and the optimum option has been chosen through comparative selection. This Resettlement Plan has been formulated in accordance with the Land Management Law of the People’s Republic of China (2004), the Decision of the State

Council on Deepening Reform and Exercising Strict Land Management (Guo Fa [2004] No.28), the applicable policies of Anhui Province, ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement and policies on social security. The resettlement principles of the subproject are as follows based on the above policies and through consultation with the local governments and the affected people: (1) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible; (2) The affected people are granted compensation and rights that can at least maintain or even improve their livelihoods in the absence of the project; (3) The affected people are given compensation and assistance in resettlement whether legal title is available or not; (4) If the land available to everyone is insufficient to maintain his/her livelihood, replacement in cash or in kind and other income-generating activities are provided for the lost land; (5) The affected people fully understand their entitlements, the method and standard of compensation, the livelihood and income restoration plan, and the project schedule, and participate in the implementation of the Resettlement Plan; (6) No land should be acquired before the affected people are satisfied with the compensation and resettlement (plan); (7) The executing agency and an independent agency / third party should monitor the compensation, relocation and resettlement operations; (8) The vulnerable groups (including women) are provided special assistance or treatment so that they lead a better life, and all affected people should have an opportunity to benefit from the project; (9) The Resettlement Plan is consistent with the master plans of the affected counties and towns; and (10) The resettlement expenses are sufficient to cover all affected aspects. 4. Resettlement strategy The compensation for permanent land acquisition includes land compensation, resettlement subsidy and crop compensation. The compensation rates for land acquisition of Feidong County affected by land acquisition are: 32,920 yuan/mu for arable land and 16,060 yuan/mu for housing land and other land; compensation rates for land acquisition of Juchao District have not been updated and are consistent with those in the former RP, namely 30,800 yuan/mu for arable land and 15,400 yuan/mu for housing land and other land. Temporary land occupation includes that for borrow pits and other purposes. Compensation for temporary land occupation includes compensation fees for young crops and ground attachments, and a land reclamation bond. Temporarily occupied farmland is compensated for at 1,500 yuan/mu-year, and other land temporarily occupied at 1,000 yuan/mu-year. During land occupation, the project headquarters will pay a land reclamation bond of 8,400 yuan/mu, and the construction agency will reclaim the temporarily occupied land after the period of occupation. To reduce the impact on young crops, works will be constructed after harvesting or before sowing as the case may be. According to the construction design, the period of temporary land occupation is 2 years. The compensation rates for the demolition of rural residential houses in Feidong County are: 500 yuan/㎡ for masonry concrete structure, 356 yuan/㎡ for masonry timber structure, 127 yuan/㎡ for simple structure, moving subsidy 200 yuan/person, and transition fee 2 yuan/㎡-month. The compensation rates for rural residential houses of Juchao District are 660 yuan/㎡ for masonry concrete structure, 500 yuan/ ㎡ for masonry timber structure, 320 yuan/㎡ for simple structure, moving subsidy 300 yuan/person and transition subsidy 6 yuan/㎡·month. The compensation rates for urban residential houses of Juchao District are 1,280 yuan/㎡ for masonry concrete structure, 908 yuan/㎡ for masonry timber structure, 320 yuan/㎡ for simple structure, moving subsidy 300 yuan/person and transition subsidy 6 yuan/㎡·month.

The measures for income restoration of the affected people include cash compensation, provision of technical training and priority in employment, etc. Since permanent land acquisition is caused by road construction mainly, the impacts of the subproject are in a linear form. Based on statistical analysis, though the amount of land acquisition is relatively large, it is scattered and has very moderate impact on the regular agricultural production of rural households. According to the different socioeconomic backgrounds of AVs, the use and relocation of land acquisition fees including land compensation and resettlement subsidy which will be determined by village meeting is also different. In general, land compensation and resettlement could be disbursed to affected households directly, collective villagers or invested by the collectives. The crop compensation will be paid to affected households directly. When they get the compensation, the affected households will use the compensation fees for land improvement and the expanded reproduction of household sidelines. Borrow pits can be restored by turning them into fishponds, irrigation ponds or garbage landfills. Demolished houses may be restored by means of property swap or reallocation of a housing site for self-building. The Anhui Project Management Office (PMO) and AHAB has arranged a special fund of 600,000 yuan for the technical training of the labor force of the affected households (in which the female labor force is about 50%). In the meantime, a special fund will be set up to support the vulnerable groups, with a total amount of 328,000 yuan (1% of the basic resettlement expenses). The Anhui PMO and AHAB will use this fund specifically to support the vulnerable groups affected by the subproject together with the civil affairs authorities of the affected counties. 5. Public participation and information disclosure All affected people (with 30% being women) have been informed of the key information of the Resettlement Plan in many ways, such as meeting, interview, villager team discussion, public participation meeting and community consultation, and involved in the subproject through the above activities. Their opinions have been taken into account in the Resettlement Plan. The resettlement information booklet and the Resettlement Plan will be distributed to the affected people or villager teams by the end of Jun 2009 and the draft Resettlement Plan has been published on the ADB website (http://www.adb.org/Documents/Resettlement_Plans/PRC/42018/default.asp) by the end of Jul 2009. An appeal channel has been established, and all agencies will accept complaints and appeals from the affected people free of charge, and all costs reasonably incurred will be disbursed from the contingency expenses of the subproject. 6. Complaints and appeals An appeal procedure has been formulated to settle disputes over compensation and other resettlement benefits for the purpose of responding to the affected people’s complaints timely and transparently. Possible complaints may arise from the acquisition of collective land, temporary land occupation and house demolition, etc. In this respect, the Anhui PMO, the highway administration bureaus of all levels and the affected town governments and village committees will coordinate and settle complaints and appeals possibly arising from the resettlement process. The displaced persons may file an appeal for any aspect of resettlement, including compensation standards. 7. Organization The APCD Foreign-funded Project Management Office is the executing agency of the subproject, the Anhui Highway Administration Bureau (AHAB) is an implementing agency of the subproject, and the relevant highway administration bureaus (headquarters) of all levels and town governments will be responsible specifically for

the implementation of the Resettlement Plan. 8. Monitoring, evaluation and reporting To ensure the successful implementation of the Resettlement Plan, the subproject will perform internal and external monitoring of the implementation of resettlement. The internal monitoring agency of the subproject is APCD. Internal monitoring will be executed jointly by AHAB and other competent authorities (e.g., land and resources bureau). A monitoring will be submitted to ADB semiannually. The Anhui PMO will entrust an independent monitoring agency to perform external monitoring and evaluation semiannually. The monitoring and evaluation expenses will be included in the estimate of resettlement expenses. 9. Budget for resettlement expenses All expenses incurred during land acquisition and resettlement will be included in the general budget of the subproject. Based on prices of May 2011, the total resettlement expenses of the subproject are 137.405 million yuan, including expenses for the acquisition of rural collective land of 49.743 million yuan, accounting for 36.2% of total expenses; compensation for temporary land occupation of 6.516 million yuan, accounting for 4.74%; compensation for demolition of urban residential houses of 6.34 million yuan, accounting for 4.61%; compensation for demolition of rural residential houses of 43.153 million yuan, accounting for 31.41%; compensation for infrastructure and ground annexes of 55,000 yuan, accounting for 0.04%; and taxes and management fees of 31.598 million yuan, accounting for 23%.

1 Overview

1.1 Background

1.1.1 Background of the subproject

Since the beginning of the Tenth Five-year Plan, Anhui Province has realized a rapid growth of traffic infrastructure by increasing investment and accelerating construction under the direction and support of the state macro-policies. An integrated traffic system composed mainly of trunk railway lines, expressways, main navigable channels and key airports has taken form. In particular, as the key link between the expressway network and the rural highway network, the national and provincial trunk highway network of the province plays an important role in creating a multi-layered, efficient highway transport system. However, this trunk highway network can hardly meet future transport demand due to its irrational hierarchical structure, relatively low technical standard of highways, and relatively low equivalent mileage. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing trunk highway network to improve its throughput greatly, realize the intensive utilization of land resources, and give full play to the service efficiency of the existing traffic resources at the cost of relatively small land occupation. At the present stage, various restrictive conflicts in highway development have emerged, and there is a great pressure in funding and a sharp conflict between the demand for huge funds and the increasingly tensioned financial environment. In order to relieve the financial pressure and make reasonable use of funds to build the trunk highway network, AHAB decided to use ADB lending to rebuild and expand some trunk highways in the province in 2008, of which the reconstruction project of the S105 Longtang-Chaohu Section is part.

1.1.2 Composition of the subproject and identification of displaced persons

The subproject starts from the Longtang Interchange at the junction between S105 and the South Ring Expressway of Hefei, runs to western Cuozhen Town along the S105 route, bypasses Cuozhen Town, connects the old highway, crosses the Huainan Railway in southeast Cuozhen, runs through Qiaotouji, crosses a local railway at a newly-built railway bridge near Wanghaijian through, then continues to run along the old highway via Huaji, central Miaoji and Zhonghan Towns to Chaohu, and ends at Bantang Road, Chaohu, with a full length of about 50.3km. The whole section will be built as a 4-lane Class-I highway with a design speed of 80km/hour and a roadbed width of 24.5 meters. The schematic map of the subproject is shown in Appendix 1. Based on a preliminary impact identification, the subproject will involve land acquisition and resettlement.

1.2 Social and economic benefits

The social and economic benefits of the subproject are as follows: 1. There are numerous enterprises and Xiangs/towns along Provincial Highway S105, which is an important passage between Anhui Province and the economically developed Jiangsu Province. The reconstruction of S105 can improve the traffic environment along the route, and strengthen the tie between Anhui Province and the developed eastern regions. 2. The subproject will change the traffic conditions of the affected areas, reduce transport and resource development costs, strengthen the development of natural and tourist resources in the nearby areas, and promote economic development. 3. The national and provincial trunk highway network is the key link between the expressway network and the rural highway network. The improvement of its service quality can improve the efficiency of the expressway network and the rural highway network in all aspects, and give play to the benefits of the whole road network system. Therefore, the subproject is required to improve the service level and structure of the province’s road network.

1.3 Investment estimate and implementation plan of resettlement

The construction investment in the subproject is about 904 million yuan, which will be raised from the following 3 sources: ADB lending, domestic bank lending and funds raised by the employer. The resettlement expenses are 137,40.54 million yuan, accounting for 15.11% of total investment, all being domestic counterpart funds. The overall construction period of the subproject is 2.5 years.

2 Impacts of the Subproject

2.1 Measures to avoid or minimize land acquisition and house demolition

2.1.1 Principles for design and relocation site selection of the subproject

Land acquisition and house demolition will be minimized at the construction stage on the following principles: ¾ Avoiding or minimizing the occupation of existing and planned residential areas; ¾ Avoiding or minimizing the occupation of high-quality arable land; ¾ Utilizing existing national and local roads to lead to the proposed construction area; and ¾ Avoiding or minimizing the occupation of environmentally sensitive zones. ¾ Involve affected people in detailed design of alignment and passageways and selection of borrow pits to minimize resettlement impacts.

2.1.2 Comparative selection of options

During the design of the subproject, the negative impacts of construction, especially the number of displaced persons, have been minimized by making field investigation of the affected areas repeatedly and optimizing the project design on the precondition of realizing the intended results. Therefore, the amount of land acquisition and house demolition has been minimized, as shown in Table 2-1. Table 2-1 Options for Comparative Selection of the Subproject Project Option 1 Option 2 Conclusion The route runs The demolition area of residential The road is rerouted through Cuozhen houses has been reduced by to the south of the Town, involving the 18,781.2 ㎡ , and the affected town, avoiding the demolition of population by 257 people; that of demolition of numerous residential entities and stores by 380 ㎡, and residential houses, houses, entities and entities and stores the affected population by 64 stores people.

During August-November 2008, the engineering technicians of the Anhui Provincial Communications Planning, Survey and Design Institute conducted a survey of the affected physical indicators in the affected areas with the assistance of the affected villages and villagers as required by ADB to learn the resettlement impacts of the subproject. In November 2008, the Anhui Transport Administration Bureau entrusted the Anhui Provincial Communications Planning, Survey and Design Institute to prepare the Feasibility Study Report of the S105 Project. From December 2008 to March 2009, Hohai University conducted a sampling survey of the social and economic conditions of the affected areas and the rural households affected by land acquisition and house demolition according to the feasibility study report. The survey covered household population, impacts of land acquisition and house demolition, household economic condition and willingness for resettlement, etc. During the survey, the survey team also listened to the opinions of the village committees and the villagers about land acquisition, house demolition and

resettlement, and conducted extensive consultation. In March 2009, on the basis of the feasibility study and survey data of the subproject and public participation, the Resettlement Plan of the subproject was completed, which analyzes and evaluates the resettlement impacts and risks of the subproject, and proposes preliminary remedies. On November 30, 2009, the Anhui Provincial Communications Planning, Survey and Design Institute completed the fieldwork for the construction drawings. In January and May 2011, the survey team of Hohai University conducted the fieldwork for the updated RP in Feidong County and Juchao District on the basis of the land survey delimitation, and the resettlement programs issued by the Feidong County and Juchao District project headquarters, and with the assistance of AHAB, the affected townships and village officials. During the survey, the survey team also listened to the opinions of the village committees and the villagers about land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement, and conducted extensive consultation. The main findings were as follows: 1) Almost all affected rural households welcome the project and know the project will be commenced soon. 2) Almost all affected households thought the impacts of land acquisition to them were slight. After land acquisition, they could cultivate the remaining land and prefer to cash compensation. 3) The compensation should be disbursed in time and transparently and intermediate links should be minimized as much as possible. 4) Prior to house demolition, it should be implemented after the arrangement of house relocation site and compensation disbursement. 5) Displaced persons recognize the resettlement and compensation policies and programs for land acquisition and house demolition. 6) The majority of the households tend to choose the resettlement approach of exchange property. 2.4 Permanent acquisition of collective land and impact analysis

2.4.1 Permanent acquisition of collective land

The acquisition of collective land involves 21 villages/communities in 5 townships/sub-districts of Feidong County and Juchao District. 1,286.87 mu of collective land has been acquired, including 940.03 mu of arable land (73.05%), 188.79 mu of rural land for construction (including housing land) (14.67%) and 158.05 mu of other land (12.28%), affecting 1,408 households with 5,224 persons directly. The acquisition of collective land is shown in Table 2-3 Summary of Collective Land to Be Permanently Acquired.

2.4.2 Impact analysis of acquisition of collective land

According to statistics, the villages affected by the subproject have 78,546,46 mu of arable land in total, and 940.02mu of arable land will be acquired in the subproject, affecting 5,224 people out of 1,408 households, accounting for 1.2%. Since the subproject involves road reconstruction in a linear distribution, most of the people affected by land acquisition will lose part of their land only. A comparative analysis of the arable land of the affected villages before and after land acquisition has been made according to the social and economic survey. Among the 21 affected villages, the degree of impact ranges from 0.09% (Wujia Community) to 3.81% (Xianfeng Community). The arable land is affected by land acquisition to a very low extent. In terms of income loss, the per household loss ranges from 1,003.86 yuan to 253.6 yuan. The analysis of the villages affected by land acquisition is shown in Table 2-4. Among the 5,224 people out of 1,408 households affected by land acquisition, 5,132 people out of 1,385 households have a land loss rate of less than 10%, 92 people out of 23 households 10%-19%, and no rural household has a degree of impact of over 20%. Among the 1,385 households with a land loss rate of less than 10%, 52 households have 1-3 mu, 322 households have 3-5 mu, and 1,009 households have over 5 mu. Among the 23 households with a land loss rate of 10%-19%, 9 household have 1-3 mu, and 4 households have 3-5 mu, and 10 households have over 5 mu. The analysis of the degree of impact of the households affected by land acquisition is shown in Table 2-5 and Table 2-6. Since industry has developed rapidly on a large scale and become a pillar industry in Feidong County and Juchao District, the proportion of agriculture is low. There are 1,821 private enterprises in Feidong County, including textile, apparel and chemical enterprises. Industry clusters, such as the private economic park and the Zhonghan Anchor Chain Zone, have come been created in Juchao District, with 566 enterprises in total. Almost every household in these areas have labor working at a nearby or a non-local enterprise. In particular, Feidong County is renowned as the “Town of Architecture”, and is a state-level and province-level labor service export base, where about 70% of the farmers’ income comes from employment, and the proportion of agricultural income is as low as below 20%. In sum, the land acquisition of the subproject has little impact on the regular agricultural production and agricultural income of the rural households, and also on the gross income of the farmers.

2.5 Temporary land occupation

Temporary land use for construction means land occupied temporarily during the construction period, including sand and stone yards, borrow pits, blending plants, spoil grounds, and production, living areas and roads occupied temporarily during construction. According to the feasibility study of the subproject, all land occupied temporarily by the subproject is collective land, with a total area of 472.2 mu, affecting 1,712 people out of 428 households, including 212.5 mu of land for borrow pits (45%) and 259.7 mu of other land (55%). In terms of land type, this includes 35 mu of paddy field (7.4%) and 437.2 mu of dry land (92.6%) The average period of temporary occupation is 2 years. The impacts of temporary land occupation are shown in Table 2-8. In all land occupied temporarily by the subproject, borrow pits will occupy 212.5

11

mu of land (45%), affecting 736 people out of 181 households. The affected areas are mainly hilly areas, composed mostly of mountain land and non-arable land, and the land occupied temporarily for borrow pits is selected in these areas mainly and will not have any adverse impact on the villagers’ income. In areas where occupation of arable land is unavoidable, low-lying land and derelict land with lower output value and likely to be affected by inland inundation will be selected for borrow pits to minimize the impact on agricultural production. Borrow pits will be located in mountain land or unused land where possible to avoid any adverse impact on rural households. If occupation of arable land is unavoidable, the following principals would be taken: (i) avoid creating unusable land and adverse environmental impacts, (ii) the selection of sites for burrow areas and spoil areas should include consultation with affected villages and should be in accordance with the township/ villages master plans, land use plans and the new countryside construction plans; (iii) the sites should be concentrated and the impact on arable land should be minimized; (iv) where possible, sites should be selected in low-lying land with bad soil quality; and (v) according to the wills of local people, local geographical conditions and environmental regulations, the deep excavations could be restored as part of the local canal system, fishponds, farmland or landfill through different construction methods.

Rural residential houses of 63,794.44 ㎡ have been demolished, including 26,345.8 ㎡ in masonry concrete structure (41.3%), 30,145.16 ㎡ in masonry timber structure (47.25%) and 7,303.49 ㎡ in simple structure (11.45%), affecting 533 households with 2,110 persons, of which 137 households with 480 persons are also affected by land acquisition. The rural houses to be demolished in the subproject are shown in Table 2-9. Among the households affected by the demolition of residential houses, 45 households (8.44%) have a demolition of 21-50 ㎡; 183 households (34.33%) 51-100 ㎡; 234 households (43.9%) 101-150 ㎡; and 65 households (12.2%) over 151 ㎡. The impacts of the demolition of residential houses are shown in Table 2-10.

8 Compared to previous RP, the house demolition are increased. The reasons are 1) to meet the local villages’ development plans, the design of alignment was changed. For example, 5 villages (xin’an village, huaguang village, zhaoguang village, xianfeng village and zhenxing village ) in Cuozhen town will be affected during FSR, while 4 villages (yaogang village, zhaoguang village, xianfeng village and zhenxing village ) will be affected in detailed design . 2) for the consideration of traffic safety, some house not in project scope but in safety scope will also be demolished, which enlarge the demolition scope and demolition area

2.8.2 Affected vulnerable groups

For the purpose of the project, vulnerable groups mean the disabled, Wubao10 (Five Guarantees), widows, low-income or poor person and ethnic minorities. Based on the survey, the affected population is composed entirely of Han people. The main vulnerable groups affected by the Project are the disabled and low-income persons11. The affected population of the subproject includes 53 households falling into vulnerable groups, with a household population of219, which are affected by house demolition and land acquisition, including 52 people out of 215low-income families, 1 household with a disabled member with a total population of 4.The affected vulnerable groups are shown in Table 2-15.

No household composed mainly of single female laborers resulting from bereft of spouse, divorce or abandonment was found among the rural households affected by land acquisition. According to the survey, the affected women enjoy the same legal rights as men, including contracting of arable land, receiving education, family planning, participation in election, etc. Most of the interviewed female laborers think they have the same autonomy in production and operation as men, and can elect to work or do small business freely. Of course, men and women play different roles in family life and production. More women do housework, bring up children, deal with household sidelines (e.g., household cultivation), and work at manual manufacturing plants, while men mainly deal with transport or other heavy work. Generally, the working hours of women are 1.2 times those of men. The impact on the affected women’ income comes mainly from the reduction in agricultural production arising from the acquisition of arable land and the impact on household cultivation arising from house demolition, while the per capita income from crop cultivation and stockbreeding is up to 1,057.2 yuan/person, accounting for 19.2% of household income. In terms of education, boys and girls enjoy equal opportunities in receiving education, and as long as children study hard, their parents would do their best to support their school education. According to the survey, women have the same concerns as men: (a) the

10 “Wubao” refers to the person who not only loses the labor abilities and income, but has no dependent person regulated by laws. The “Wubao” could get the subsidies or assitance from government as follows: 1) Grain and oils, subsidiary food and fuel; 2) Living goods including clothes, quilt etc, and pocket money; 3) Basic residential housing, 4) Medical subsidies; 5) Funeral affairs 11 the annual per capita net income is below 1067 yuan

25

compensation standards should be based on land output and resettlement cost; and (b) the compensation fees should be paid directly to the affected rural households based on their needs. Women have the following needs that are different from men: (a) women ask for an equal degree of cash compensation and land replacement; (b) women ask for training on crop cultivation, stockbreeding and manual work; and (c) in most households, men play a dominant role in participation, while women also expect to participate in village-level management. The gender analysis is shown in Appendix 3.

4 Legal Framework and Policies

4.1 Laws, regulations and policies applicable to resettlement

The resettlement policies for the subproject are formulated based on ADB policies and the applicable laws, regulations and policies of China mainly, including: 1) ADB policies ¾ Involuntary Resettlement, November 1995 ¾ Gender and resettlement, February 2003 2) Laws, regulations and policies of the PRC ¾ Land Management Law of the People's Republic of China (effective from January 1, 1999, amended on August 28, 2004) ¾ Decision of the State Council on Deepening Reform and Exercising Strict Land Management (Guo Fa [2004] No.28) (October 21, 2004) ¾ Guidelines on Improving Compensation and Resettlement Systems for Land Acquisition (MLR Fa [2004] No.238) (November 3, 2004) ¾ Measures for the Administration of Preliminary Examination of the Land Used for Construction Projects (Ministry of Land and Resources Order No.27) (November 1, 2004) 3) Provincial and local policies ¾ Circular of the Anhui Provincial People’s Government on Doing Well in Compensation and Resettlement for Land Acquisition to Protect Farmers’ Lawful Rights and Interests Practically ¾ Detailed Rules of Anhui Province for the Management of the Collection and Use of Farmland Reclamation Fees (Cai Zong [2001] No.1061) ¾ Measures of Anhui Province on the Implementation of the Land Management Law of the People’s Republic of China (December 1, 2002) ¾ Circular of the Anhui Provincial Finance Department on Farmland Occupation Tax on Highways ¾ Guidelines of the Anhui Provincial People’s Government on Doing Well in the Employment and Social Security for Land-expropriated Farmers (Wan Zheng [2005] No.63) ¾ Interim Measures of Hefei Municipality on the Endowment Insurance of Land-expropriated Farmers (He Zheng [2008] No.1) ¾ Interim Measures of Chaohu Municipality on the Endowment Insurance of Land-expropriated Farmers (Chao Zheng [2007] No.47). ¾ Uniform Annual Output Values and Compensation Rates for Land Acquisition of Anhui Province (APG [2009] No.132)

4.2 ADB policies

The three important elements of the involuntary resettlement policy are (i) compensation to replace lost assets, livelihood, and income; (ii) assistance for relocation, including provision of relocation sites with appropriate facilities and services; and (iii) assistance for restoration to achieve at least the same level of well-being with the project as without it. Some or all of these elements may be present in a project involving involuntary resettlement. For any ADB operation requiring involuntary resettlement, resettlement planning is an integral part of project design, to be dealt with from the earliest stages of the project cycle, taking into account the following basic principles: (i) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided whenever feasible. (ii) Where population displacement is unavoidable, it should be minimized by providing viable livelihood options.

34

(iii) Replacing what is lost. If individuals or a community must lose all or part of their land, means of livelihood, or social support systems, so that a project might proceed, they will be compensated and assisted through replacement of land, housing, infrastructure, resources, income sources, and services, in cash or kind, so that their economic and social circumstances will be at least restored to the pre-project level. All compensation is based on the principle of replacement cost. (iv) Each involuntary resettlement is conceived and executed as part of a development project or program. ADB and executing agencies or project sponsors, during project preparation, assess opportunities for affected people to share project benefits. The affected people need to be provided with sufficient resources and opportunities to reestablish their livelihoods and homes as soon as possible, with time-bound action in coordination with the civil works. (v) The affected people are to be fully informed and closely consulted. Affected people are to be consulted on compensation and/or resettlement options, including relocation sites, and socioeconomic restoration. Pertinent resettlement information is to be disclosed to the affected people at key points, and specific opportunities provided for them to participate in choosing, planning, and implementation options. Grievance redress mechanisms for affected people are to be established. Where adversely affected people are particularly vulnerable groups, resettlement planning decisions will be preceded by a social preparation phase to enhance their participation in negotiation, planning, and implementation. (vi) Social and cultural institutions. Institutions of the affected people, and, where relevant, of their hosts, are to be protected and supported. Affected people are to be assisted to integrate economically and socially into host communities so that adverse impacts on the host communities are minimized and social harmony is promoted. (vii) No formal title. Indigenous groups, ethnic minorities, pastoralists, people who claim for such land without formal legal rights, and others, who may have usufruct or customary rights to affected land or other resources, often have no formal legal title to their lands. The absence of a formal legal title to land is not a bar to ADB policy entitlements. (viii) Identification. Affected people are to be identified and recorded as early as possible in order to establish their eligibility through a population record or census that serves as an eligibility cutoff date, preferably at the project identification stage, to prevent a subsequent influx of encroachers or others who wish to take advantage of such benefits. (ix) The Poorest. Particular attention must be paid to the needs of the poorest affected people, and vulnerable groups that may be at high risk of impoverishment. This may include those without legal title to land or other assets, households headed by females, the elderly or disabled and other vulnerable groups, particularly indigenous peoples. Appropriate assistance must be provided to help them improve their socio-economic status. (x) The full resettlement costs are to be included in the presentation of project costs and benefits. This includes costs of compensation, relocation and restoration, social preparation and livelihood programs as well as the incremental benefits over the without-project situation (which are included in the presentation of project costs and benefits). The budget also includes costs for planning, management, supervision, monitoring and evaluation, land taxes, land fees, and physical and price contingencies. Where loans include subprojects, components or investments prepared only after project approval and loans through financial intermediaries that are likely to cause involuntary resettlement, sufficient contingency allowance must be allocated for resettlement prior to approval of the loan. Similarly, resettlement plans should also reflect the timeframe for resettlement planning and implementation. (xi) Eligible costs of compensation. Relocation and restoration may be

35

considered for inclusion in ADB loan financing for the project, if requested, to assure timely availability of the required resources and to ensure compliance with involuntary resettlement procedures during implementation.

4.3 Laws, regulations and policies of the PRC

For the Project, the Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China is the major legal basis. Ministry of Land and Resources and Anhui Province have also promulgated some related regulations and policies. The relevant items on resettlement are shown in Table 4-1. The Decision of the State Council on Deepening Reform and Strengthening Land Administration (Ref. GF [2004]28) was issued in Oct. 2004 and sets out (i) the principles of land acquisition compensation and resettlement compensation, (ii) the compensation standards, (iii) land acquisition procedures, and (iv) monitoring system. Correspondingly, Ministry of Land and Resources issued Guidelines for Strengthening Land Acquisition Compensation and Relocation System (Ref. No. [2004] 238). These documents are as shown in Table 4-2. These documents are the key PRC laws and regulations for this Project.

4.4 Main differences between ADB policies and laws of the PRC

Compensation for houses ¾ Difference: ADB policies require compensation standards for replacement costs. Laws of the PRC think depreciation is reasonable, and the compensation standard for an old house should be lower than that for a new house of the same structure. ¾ Solution: Compensation standards are based on replacement costs in all ADB financed products. Compensation for land ¾ Difference: ADB policies require that compensation should be sufficient to offset any income loss, and restore long-term income-generating potential. Chinese standards are based on average annual output value, but may be unrelated to the cost of income restoration. ¾ Solution: The early-stage solution is to provide replacement land, which is hardly possible. Cash compensation is the preferred choice of most people, though they cannot guarantee the reasonable use of these compensation fees. Therefore, ADB needs to further technical support to monitor the income of seriously affected households, especially those of vulnerable groups, and assistance should be provided by local governments to assist those who need support. Compensation for resettlement of vulnerable groups ¾ Difference: ADB policies require that special compensation is granted to all vulnerable groups, especially seriously affected households faced with pauperization. Chinese provisions do not require social analysis, and compensation is based only on the quantity of loss. ¾ Solution: Special funds are available to assist the vulnerable groups, who will be identified during the detailed survey. All measures have been specified in the Resettlement Plan. Consultation and publication ¾ Difference: ADB policies require the affected people are aware of all relevant information, and consulted with as soon as possible. Chinese provisions have improved the transparency of disclosure and compensation. However, the affected people do not play a strong role in project decision-making, and the disclosure period is usually too short. ¾ Solution: Consultation has begun at the early stage (before and during technical assistance). APCD agrees to disclose the Resettlement Plan to the affected people as required by ADB. Lack of legal title ¾ Difference: ADB policies require all demolished houses, whether lawful or unlawful, shall be compensated for at the same standards. According to Chinese laws, people without local registered residence may not be entitled to the same compensation as local people. In addition, the prevailing Chinese laws stipulate that no compensation shall be provided for the acquisition of land and houses of unlawful owners. ¾ Solution: For ADB financed project, all affected people, whether lawful or unlawful, whether having ownership or right to use, will be protected. The same compensation standards will apply as required by ADB. Resettlement monitoring, evaluation and reporting ¾ Difference: ADB requires internal and external resettlement monitoring. However, there is no such requirement in Chinese laws, expect for reservoir

42

projects. ¾ Solution: Internal and external resettlement monitoring systems have been established for all ADB financed products, and have been included in the Resettlement Plan. The requirements for internal and external reporting are specified in the Resettlement Plan.

4.5 Principles for compensation of the subproject

The principles for compensation and entitlement of the subproject have been formulated in accordance with the laws, regulations and policies of the Chinese government and ADB, with the aim of ensuring that displaced persons can obtain sufficient compensation and assistance measures so that their production and livelihoods are at least restored to pre-displacement levels. The principles for resettlement of the subproject are shown in Table 4-3 . Table 4-3 Principles for Resettlement of the Subproject Principles 1 Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible. The affected people are granted compensation and rights that can at least 2 maintain or even improve their livelihoods in the absence of the project. The affected people are given compensation and assistance in resettlement 3 whether legal title is available or not. If the land available to everyone is insufficient to maintain his/her livelihood, 4 replacement in cash or in kind and other income-generating activities are provided for the lost land. The affected people fully understand their entitlements, the method and standard 5 of compensation, the livelihood and income restoration plan, and the project schedule, and participate in the implementation of the Resettlement Plan. No land should be acquired before the affected people are satisfied with the 6 compensation and resettlement (plan). People should not be displaced until the allocation of a housing plot has been agreed upon. The executing agency and an independent agency / third party should monitor 7 the compensation, relocation and resettlement operations. The vulnerable groups (including women) are provided special assistance or 8 treatment so that they lead a better life, and all affected people should have an opportunity to benefit from the project.. The Resettlement Plan is consistent with the master plans of the affected 9 counties and towns. 10 The resettlement expenses are sufficient to cover all affected aspects.

4.6 Cut-off date of compensation

The cut-off date for determining eligibility for compensation is June 30, 2009. The notification of cut-off date will be sent after the FSR is approved. Newly reclaimed arable land, newly built houses or settlement in the affected areas of the affected people will not be included in the scope of compensation or subsidy after the cut-off date. Any house built or tree planted for extra compensation only will not be included.

4.7 Determination of compensation standards for resettlement impacts of the subproject

4.7.1 Acquisition of collective land According to the Land Management Law of the People’s Republic of China, the

43

Guidelines on Improving Compensation and Resettlement Systems for Land Acquisition, the policies and regulations of Anhui Province on the implementation of the Land Management Law of the People’s Republic of China, the compensation fees for the acquisition of arable land include land compensation, resettlement subsidy and crop compensation. In the subproject, the collective land acquired in Feidong County is compensated for based on the Uniform Annual Output Values and Compensation Rates for Land Acquisition of Anhui Province (APG [2009] No.132). The compensation standards for the acquisition of rural collective land are shown in Error! eference source not found..

Temporarily occupied farmland is compensated for at 1,500 yuan/mu-year, and other land temporarily occupied at 1,000 yuan/mu-year. During land occupation, the project headquarters will pay a land reclamation bond/deposit of 8,400 yuan/mu, the construction agency will reclaim the temporarily occupied land after the period of occupation, and ensure that the output of the land could be achieved to the former level. If the construction agency fails to complete the reclamation requirements, or project headquarters do not organize construction agency to reclaim land, the land reclamation bond will be deducted by the department of land resource bureau for the work. The compensation standards for temporary land occupation are shown in Table 4-5 .

5 Resettlement and Income Restoration

5.1 Purpose of resettlement

The purpose of resettlement of the subproject is to design a resettlement and restoration action plan for the people affected by the subproject, so that they benefit from the subproject, and their standard of living is improved or at least restored after the completion of the subproject.

5.2 Resettlement and restoration plans for affected villages

5.2.1 Introduction of resettlement and restoration plans for affected villages The main impact of the subproject is permanent land occupation mainly. The permanent acquisition of collective land involves 21 villages in 5 Xiangs/towns of one county and one district of Hefei and Chaohu Cities; 1,286.87 mu of collective land has been acquired, including 940.03 mu of arable land, 188.79 mu of rural construction land and 158.05 mu of other land. Since the subproject involves road reconstruction in a linear distribution, most of the people affected by land acquisition will lose part of their land only, with a degree of impact of less than 5%. Therefore, land acquisition has little impact on the agricultural production and income of the rural households (see Section 2.4.2 for the impact analysis of land acquisition). According to the sampling survey of the willingness for resettlement of 426 households, all affected households require cash compensation, and will use the compensation fees for business, crop cultivation, stockbreeding and skills learning mainly. In our field survey, almost all affected rural households welcome the subproject; the affected households think the subproject can improve the traffic conditions and make their production and life more convenient. All affected households require cash compensation for land acquisition, because this method is simple to operate. The affected rural households can use the compensation fees for production and livelihood restoration freely. The construction and land acquisition of the subproject will affect the villages to varying degrees. Therefore, the restoration plan is based on the degree of impact, the availability of the remaining land resources and the willingness of the affected people. Through adequate consultation with the village committee and the affected households during the social and economic survey, different economic restoration options have been defined. As discussed above, for most villager teams, the impact of land acquisition is relatively low, and the degree of impact is even. After the land is acquired, the affected people still have a certain amount of land, so most of them prefer cash compensation. For the affected people, this method will ensure that all compensation and rights get to their hands fully and timely. 5.2.2 General strategy of restoration measures for permanent land acquisition The subproject involves permanent land occupation of 21 villages. The livelihood restoration measures for the displaced persons mainly include: a) Direct cash compensation: Determine the compensation standards for land acquisition and the amount of arable land lost in strict accordance with the applicable state and local policies, and pay compensation fees timely to the affected households directly. The compensation fees received by the affected households can be used to grow cash crops, develop household stockbreeding and to deal with nonagricultural

51

production activities. b) Improvement of agricultural production conditions: The village collectives will raise funds and use some of the compensation fees for the acquisition of the collective land for infrastructure construction in order to improve agricultural production conditions, increase the output of crops, increase farmers’ income indirectly and improve their standard of living, such as improvement of pumped wells, pump stations, pipelines and other irrigation facilities for farmland, improvement of drinking water facilities for villagers to solve their difficulty in domestic water supply, building village roads, and subsidizing widows. c) Agricultural restructuring: The villages will adjust their crop cultivation and stockbreeding structure using their geographic location and market conditions to increase agricultural income. For example, the villages can do this based on their history and practical situation; Cuozhen Town can develop lotus root cultivation, Tongyang Town can develop greenhouse and strawberry cultivation, etc. d) Labor transfer: The government may take some relevant measures to support the development of some individual enterprises, such as farm machinery and anchor chain manufacturing enterprises and other labor-intensive enterprises, and create more job opportunities. e) Endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers: Eligible land-expropriated farmers 17 may affect the endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers voluntarily, as shown in Appendix 5. In the meantime, during the construction of the subproject, the implementing agencies will take some assistance and supporting measures, including: a) During construction, the affected people will be arranged for labor service with priority, which will bring cash income to the affected people. b) All labor export projects within the affected county will give priority to the affected people for jobs in local industry or labor export (at-home work for industry). c) During the whole production restoration process, technical training can be organized for the affected people, such as training on the cultivation of cash crops and stockbreeding. Technicians from the agricultural and labor and social security authorities will be invited to give training on agriculture and cultivation in the affected areas, so that every affected rural household can receive at least one session of agricultural or nonagricultural technical training. These measures will serve to improve the quality and output of crops, increase the economic income of the affected people, and restore their livelihoods. The Chaohu Municipal project headquarters has issued the Compensation and Resettlement Program for Land Acquisition and House Demolition for the Construction of the Hefei-Ma’anshan Highway Expansion Project (Juchao Segment), specifying that: (1) The acquisition of collective land shall be based on the standard outlined in the Notice of the Anhui Provincial Government on the Promulgation of the Compensation Standard for Land Acquisition of Anhui Province (APG [2010] No.132), and the pertinent provisions of the Notice of Juchao District, Chaohu Municipality on Issues Concerning Compensation for Land Acquisition issued by the district government (JDG [2010] No.25). The compensation rate for the acquisition of farmland (including arable land and garden plots, etc.) shall be 30,800 yuan/mu, and that for construction land (including industrial and mining storage facilities, and housing sites, etc.) and unused land 15,400 yuan/mu.

17 Generally, this means affected agricultural population not having the basic living and production conditions or with a per capita arable area of less than 0.3 mu after land acquisition. For land-expropriated farmers aged 60 or more for men or 55 or more for women, the pension received by everyone per month shall not be less than 80 yuan in principle paid by government; APs may contribute more voluntarily to increase their pension payments.

52

(2) The resettlement subsidy for the acquisition of farmland contracted by a household shall be paid to such contractor, and that for farmland owned by a village collective shall be paid to the village collective economic organization. The resettlement subsidy for the acquisition of unused land shall be paid to the village collective economic organization, and that for construction land paid based on its intended use. Land compensation fees shall be deposited in a special account at the village level and used for the designated purpose. In principle, they shall be used for public benefit programs and social security within the villager team affected by land acquisition. The endowment insurance for land-expropriated farmers shall be partly paid by the village collective economic organization and deducted directly from land compensation fees. 5.2.3 General strategy and measures for demolition of rural residential houses The subproject involves house demolition of 15 villages. Through preliminary survey and consultation, the displaced households in Hefei and Chaohu will be resettled in the following ways: Feidong County ¾ Overall compensation scheme According to the Compensation and Resettlement Program for House Demolition for the Construction of the Hefei-Ma’anshan Highway Expansion Project (Phase 2), the displaced households shall be resettled by means of property swap. This resettlement mode has been recognized by all displaced persons. According to this document, the specific resettlement program of Feidong County is as follows: (1) All legal housing within the range of house demolition shall be subject to unified demolition and resettlement, and property swap shall be conducted in strict conformity with the standard of 30 ㎡/person. The excess housing area shall be compensated for in cash based on the cost per square meter for the housing structure. (2) A house with a eaves height of 2.6 meters or more and a depth of 6 meters or more shall be deemed as a main house; non-main houses shall be compensated for based on the cost per square meter for the housing structure. A household with one house only, which is not a main house as defined above, may be resettled by means of property swap at a rate of not more than 30 ㎡/person with the consent of such household. (3) If a displaced person is to be resettled over a transition period, the rental during the transition period shall be paid by the displacer, and the temporary housing shall be secured by the displaced person itself. The transition period shall be from the date of moving to the date of allocation of the new house. In case of property swap, the rental rate during the transition period shall be 2 yuan/㎡-month for the area of the main house demolished, and the transition period shall not exceed 18 months in principle. If the transition period is longer than 18 months, the rental rate will be 4 yuan/㎡-month. The moving subsidy shall be 200 yuan (not more than twice) per household-time. (4) For areas with a small range of house demolition, the resettlement mode of unified demolition and self-rebuilding may apply. The local town government shall allocate housing sites in a unified manner, the approved housing site for each household shall not exceed 160 ㎡, and per capita building area shall not exceed 50 ㎡. (5) A displaced household with a per capita main house area of less than 30 ㎡ may be entitled to 30 ㎡/person subject to application and approval. The resettlement

53

housing area under application in excess of the main house area demolished shall be paid for at 600 yuan/㎡. (6) A displaced household with housing difficulty may apply for purchasing an additional housing area of not more than 15 ㎡ per capita. The price is 800 yuan/㎡ for an additional area of 5 ㎡ or less; 1,000 yuan/㎡ for an additional area of more than 5 ㎡ and 10 ㎡ or less; 1,280 yuan/㎡ for an additional area of more than 10 ㎡ and 15 ㎡ or less. (7) For a displaced household that waives resettlement voluntarily and does not apply for a housing site within the jurisdiction of Cuozhen and Qiaotouji Towns, the house shall be compensated for based on its structure, and the assessed area of the housing site shall be compensated for at 12,000 yuan/mu. ¾ Overall resettlement scheme The Yihe Garden resettlement community in Cuozhen Town has been largely completed, and is expected to be available to displaced persons at the end of May 2011. The planned building area of this community is over 70 mu, and the planned total housing area is over 7,800 ㎡. All housing is in the masonry concrete structure. There is an ample supply of housing in Yihe Garden, and many housing layouts (126 ㎡, 115 ㎡, 95 ㎡, etc.). There is a kindergarten and an infirmary beside the community, and the community is convenient in traffic and only 2 kilometers away from the Cuozhen Town Government. The resettlement community in Qiaotouji Town has not broken ground yet, and is expected to break ground in May 2011 and be constructed for about 6 months.

Juchao District The demolition of rural residential houses in Juchao District is based on the Compensation and Resettlement Program for Land Acquisition and House Demolition for the Construction of the Hefei-Ma’anshan Highway Expansion Project (Juchao Segment), and shall be implemented on the basis of “unified demolition, cash compensation, non-local resettlement, and demolition before resettlement” in principle. According to the above document, the resettlement program for the demolition of rural residential houses in Juchao District is as follows: Demolished houses shall be compensated for in cash at replacement cost. All buildings and attachments built by displaced persons themselves before June 1, 2010 shall not be entitled to compensation and resettlement. Attachments to houses shall be compensated for in cash. A reward shall be granted for any house demolished within the specified time. For residential houses, displaced persons shall be resettled in accordance with the Measures of Anhui Province for the Implementation of the Land Administration Law, and other applicable laws and regulations. The town government shall resettle displaced persons within a designated resettlement area, and there shall be one resettlement site per village, in which displaced persons shall build resettlement houses according to the uniform standard, and the floor area of each house shall not exceed 140 ㎡. Any household that gives up a housing site voluntarily will be granted an appropriate subsidy. According to the survey, the land for resettlement in Juchao District has been approved together with the land for construction, and delivered to displaced households before house demolition. 5.2.4 General strategy and measures for demolition of urban residential houses The demolition of rural residential houses involves 4 villages in Woniushan Sub-district of Juchao District. The resettlement program is based on the Interim Measures of Chaohu Municipality for the Certification of House Demolition in the Urban Planning Area (CMG [2010] No.8), and the Compensation and Resettlement Program for House Demolition for the Landscaping Project of North Outer Ring Road (Woniushan Segment) of Chaohu Municipality. Compensation and resettlement for house demolition is subject to cash compensation or property swap at each displaced person’s option. In case of property swap, the resettlement site is the east zone of Lakeside Garden, where there are medium-rise and high-rise residential buildings. In case of property swap, a displaced household that surrenders its house first will be resettled first. Resettlement houses are available in four sizes – 65 ㎡, 80 ㎡, 96 ㎡ and 119 ㎡. In case of property swap, a resettlement house similar in size to the demolished house may be chosen in the resettlement community. If the size the resettlement house available to a displaced household is less than the size to which it is entitled, the PMO will pay the price difference to the displaced household at replacement cost; on the contrary, the displaced household will pay the price difference to the PMO at construction cost. According to the survey, Lakeside Garden, the resettlement community for urban residents in Juchao District is located at the center of Chaohu Municipality, and is recognized for convenient traffic and sound infrastructure. It will be available at the beginning of 2012.

Figure 5-3 Resettlement community in Juchao district(Binghujingcheng) 5.2.5 Resettlement and restoration plans for key villages In order to further make clear the impacts of the subproject and improve the effectiveness of resettlement, the relevant traffic authorities, town governments, administrative villages and villagers have been gathered by the PMO to hold discussions based on the information provided by the feasibility study report. The impacts of the subproject, land acquisition and house demolition, and the next-step measures for economic restoration were discussed. Through the above impact analysis of land acquisition, all the villages affected by the subproject have a low degree of impact of land acquisition (less than 5%). Some villages are also affected by house demolition, so pertinent resettlement and restoration plans have been developed for the 7 relatively seriously affected villages. 1. Feidong County Cuozhen A. Xianfeng Village Xiafeng Village has 3,580 people out of 922 households, including 1,720 men and 1,686 laborers, an arable area of 1,980 mu, and a per capita arable area of 0.6 mu. The main crops are paddy rice and rape. The per capita net income of farmers is 6,270 yuan, in which agricultural income accounts for about 15%. Xianfeng Village is an important pilot point of labor service export, where a certain amount of labor would be exported to Singapore or third world countries annually. The villagers are known for building crafts and mostly do building works outside. The proportion of villagers engaged in labor service export and outside employment is about 1/3, and employment income accounts for over 80% of gross income. The subproject will acquire 75.53 mu of arable land of Xiafeng Village, accounting for 3.81% of total arable area, affecting 447 people out of 109 households, accounting for 11.82% of the total number of households and 12.49% of the total population of the village respectively.

5.3 Training for displaced persons

Training needs will be identified based on the preference of APs for livelihood income restoration options (see section 5.2.2). To ensure that the displaced persons alter the traditional concept of employment, build up correct professional awareness and master necessary labor skills, the implementing agencies will appropriate special funds for resettlement training. The PMO will provide resettlement training in conjunction with the affected labor and social security authorities, including agricultural technical training, pre-job training and vocational skills training. The agricultural technical training covers fruit tree cultivation and stockbreeding techniques. The pre-job training covers the employment situation, the national employment policies, the protection of labor rights and interests, and professional ethics; the vocational skills training will be held irregularly based on job needs, and include nonagricultural technical training mainly. The general training program is shown in Table 5-1. Table 5-1 Technical Training Program for Displaced Persons Fund arrangement No. Time Subjects Participants Scope of training (10,000 yuan) Affected Agricultural technical 1 Jun. 2010 2,000 15 households training Affected 2 Dec. 2010 2,000 Pre-job training 15 households Affected Vocational skills training 3 Jun. 2011 2,000 15 households (nonagricultural) 4 Other irregular technical training 15 A training plan will be formulated by each seriously affected village with guidance from county/township labor bureau/office, the APCD Foreign-funded Project

60

Management Office and AHAB, and the training subsidies will come from the training budgets.

5.4 Protection of women’s rights and interests

At the preparation stage of the Resettlement Plan, the survey team organized women to participate in the impact survey of the subproject, and consulted them about their ideas for the income restoration plan. Women approve of the subproject and think the subproject is good to traffic improvement and land acquisition has little impact on their livelihoods. They expect cash compensation, employment in the subproject and training on crop and fruit tree cultivation, and stockbreeding techniques. Aiming at the willingness of women, 30% of women will get unskilled job opportunities at the implementation stage. In addition, the principle of equal pay for equal work will apply to both men and women. However, use of child labor is prohibited. The affected female labor will be given priority to in technical training to ensure their economic position and income will not be affected. 6,500 persons will receive resettlement training, with not less than 3,250 females (50%). Meanwhile, they can have access to relevant information during resettlement, and participate in consultation and resettlement. During the resettlement implementation, focus group discussions with affected women will be held to explain the resettlement policies and improve women’s awareness. The compensation agreement will be signed by both spouses. See details in Appendix 3 Gender analysis of women during resettlement.

5.5 Assistance measures for vulnerable groups

According to the survey, the main vulnerable groups affected by the Project are the disabled, low-income persons and households seriously affected by the Project. According to the survey, 219 people out of 53 households among the people affected by land acquisition fall into vulnerable groups. During the whole relocation process, the PMO, the implementing agencies and local governments will pay particular attention to the resettlement of the vulnerable groups. The Anhui PMO has set up a special fund to support the vulnerable groups at 1% of the basic resettlement expenses, namely 351,000 yuan. They will not only be resettled for livelihood and production according to the implementation plan of the subproject, but also be provided certain assistance to improve their living and production conditions. In specific, the key measures are as follows: 5.5.1 Measures for the Disabled 1) Special allowances will be provided to the Disabled. 2) The training and employment as a priority to labor force in these households.

5.5.2 Measures for low-income or poor households 1) Skill training will be provided to 2 family members, at least one female. 2) Priority employment (such as outside jobs or work for the Project construction) will also be provided. 3) The pension will be provided by local government.

5.5.3 Measures for seriously affected households 1) Skill training will be provided to 2 family members, at least one female. 2) Priority employment (such as outside jobs or work for the Project construction) will also be provided. 3) When possible, replacement land should be arranged as a priority.

5.6 Restoration plans for temporarily occupied land

Temporary land occupation involves sand and stone yards, borrow pits, blending plants, spoil grounds, and production, living areas and roads occupied temporarily during construction, with a total area of 472.2 mu. The land area occupied temporarily for borrow pits is 212.5 mu. Through extensive consultation with the affected rural households, rural collective land occupied temporarily may be restored by the rural households, village collectives or implementing agencies. The restorer will be agreed on by representatives of the affected rural households, the village collectives and the implementing agencies. To reduce the impact of land acquisition on young crops, the subproject will be usually constructed after harvest or before seeding, and a prior notice will be given to the affected households to reduce their losses. 5.6.1 Restoration plan for land occupation for borrow pits The temporary land occupation for borrow pits will be at several central points. In order to minimize the occupation of arable land, borrow pits will be located in mountains and non-arable areas; if occupation of arable land is unavoidable, borrow pits will be located in low-lying land and derelict land with bad soil quality and low output value. The restoration options for temporary land occupation include: ¾ Borrow pits can be connected to the local canal system as ponds for agricultural irrigation. This will minimize the impact on agricultural production, and make it easy to drain farmland and mitigate the hazard of inland inundation, improving overall agricultural output value indirectly. ¾ According to the willingness of the affected people, borrow pits can also be used as fishponds for aquaculture or lotus roof cultivation, whose output value will be higher than that of crop cultivation. ¾ Borrow pits can be turned into garbage landfills to improve the rural sanitary environment in conjunction with the program of “building a new socialist countryside”. At the present feasibility study stage, the specific positions of borrow pits have not been determined yet. After the detailed design, the restoration option will be determined as the case may be. In addition, land used for borrow pits will be compensated at the standards for permanent land acquisition, and such compensation is greater than the actual loss of arable land. Through a combination of the above measures, borrow pits will have almost no adverse impact to the villagers. 5.6.2 Restoration plan for other temporarily occupied land During construction on temporarily occupied land, strict measures will be taken to protect surface soil and avoid any irrecoverable impact. During excavation, surface soil (recommended thickness 30-50cm) will be collected and piled up separately, and soil loss prevention measures will be taken. After construction, subsurface soil will be backfilled first, and then surface soil will cover the surface evenly, and the site will be leveled to alleviate the impact on the quality of arable land. Temporarily trampled land during construction will harden and should be plowed immediately after construction to restore its looseness. The field irrigation and drainage canals, facilities and plowing roads will also be restored to ensure the basic requirements for farmland irrigation can be met after reclamation. The compensation for temporary occupation of rural collective land is greater than the actual loss of arable land, and the villagers’ livelihoods will not be affected.

5.7 Restoration plan for infrastructure

The affected special facilities and ground annexes will be compensated for by the implementing agencies to property owners, and then restored by property owners. The restoration measures for demolished facilities must be planned in advance.

62

In practice, these measures should be tailored to practical conditions, be safe, efficient, timely and accurate, and minimize adverse impacts on the nearby residents. For the affected municipal public facilities, the demolition agency should act on the construction drawings of the subproject, and minimize demolition without affecting construction. The demolition agency should rebuild (or relocate) the affected pipelines before demolition without affecting the regular lifestyle of the residents along the route (including those not to be relocated). In addition, for the production and living facilities (canals mainly) affected by the subproject, the design agency conducted an extensive survey of the subproject’s possible impacts on the production and livelihoods of the local residents in the form of discussion and questionnaire survey at the survey and design stage to collect opinions from the local people’s governments, competent authorities, social organizations and local residents. These opinions have been mostly embodied in the project design. Based on field exploration, the design agency took appropriate engineering measures for the affected production and living facilities at the design stage. For example, for canals disconnected due to highway occupation, culverts will be built in the roadbed or new exposed canals parallel to the highway built within the protected area of the roadbed; canals damaged by construction will be repaired after the completion of the subproject. Canals will be built by the construction team or by villagers in a compensated manner. All these costs have been included in the general budget of the subproject, and are no longer listed in the budgetary estimate in this report.

7.2 Complaints and appeals

Public participation is encouraged throughout the preparation and implementation of the Resettlement Action Plan. Therefore, it is likely that great disputes will not arise. However, some unexpected issues may arise from this process. In order to address such issues and ensure the successful construction and land acquisition of the subproject, a transparent and effective appeal channel has been established. The basic procedure is as follows: Stage 1: If any right of any displaced person is infringed upon in any aspect of land acquisition and resettlement, he/she can report this to the village committee. Either the committee or the displaced person may seek for a solution from the town government through consultation. After receipt of an appeal, the town government will record it, and study a solution together with the committee and the displaced person within 2 weeks. Stage 2: If the complainant is dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 1, he/she may file an appeal to the county-level highway administration bureau (headquarters) after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within 2 weeks. Stage 3: If the complainant is dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 2, he/she may file an appeal to AHAB after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within 2 weeks. Stage 4: f the complainant is still dissatisfied with the disposition of AHAB, he/she may file an appeal to the administrative authorities with competent jurisdiction level by level for arbitration in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Law of the People’s Republic of China after receiving such disposition. Stage 5: If the complainant is still dissatisfied with the arbitration award, he/she may bring an action to a civil court in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Law after receiving such award. All agencies concerned will accept the affected people’ complaints and appeals free of charge, and all costs reasonably incurred will be disbursed from the contingency expenses of the subproject. At the whole construction stage, this appeal procedure will remain effective so that the affected people can use it to solve relevant issues. The above appeal channel and the right of appeal will be notified to the displaced persons through the participation process at a public meeting and the resettlement information booklet. In the meantime, appeal proceedings will be published to the affected population people through media.

9 Resettlement Implementation Plan

9.1 Principles for resettlement implementation

According to the implementation schedule of the subproject, the construction works will commence in March 2010 and be completed in Septemper 2012. To ensure that the resettlement schedule is linked up to the construction schedule, land acquisition work of Feidong county will start from December 2009 and end in May 2011; The land acquisition and house demolition work of Juchao District began in April 2010 and ended in May 2011, and the resettlement work is expected to end in March 2012. The basic implementation principles of resettlement are: ¾ Land acquisition should be completed 3 months before the commencement of construction. The specific time of commencement should be determined as necessary for land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement. ¾ During resettlement, the affected people should have opportunities to participate in the subproject. Before the commencement of construction, the scope of land acquisition will be disclosed, and a resettlement information booklet will be distributed for the purpose of public participation. ¾ All types of compensation should be paid to property owners directly in full within 3 months from the date of approval of the land acquisition compensation and resettlement plans. No entity or individual should use the compensation fees for properties on their behalf, and such fees should not be discounted during disbursement for any reason.

9.2 Schedule for resettlement implementation

The overall progress plan for resettlement shall be developed based on the progress of land acquisition. However, this schedule shall be adjusted accordingly if the overall progress deviates.

10.2 External monitoring

As required by the ADB policies, the PMO will employ a qualified, independent resettlement agency with experienced in ADB projects as the independent resettlement monitoring agency. The external monitoring and evaluation agency will make follow-up monitoring and evaluation of resettlement activities, monitor the progress, quality and funds of resettlement, and provide advisory opinions. It will also make follow-up monitoring of the production level and standard of living of the displaced persons, and submit monitoring and evaluation reports to the PMO and ADB. 10.2.1 Scope and methods of external monitoring (1) Baseline survey The external monitoring agency will make a baseline survey of the villages affected by land acquisition in the subproject, and collect baseline data on the production level and standard of living of the monitored displaced households (standard of living, production and income levels). The survey of production level and standard of living will be conducted semiannually to track variations in this aspect. The survey methods include follow-up survey of typical sample (sample size: 20% of households affected by land acquisition 20%, 20% of households affected by house demolition, 50% of affected villages; the sample households will be sampled randomly), random interview and field observation to collect necessary data. A statistical analysis will be made on this basis for evaluation. (2) Regular monitoring and evaluation During the implementation of the Resettlement Plan, the external monitoring agency will perform regular follow-up resettlement monitoring of the following activities twice a year through field observation, follow-up survey of the sample households and random interview with the displaced persons: ¾ Disbursement and amount of compensation fees; ¾ Training; ¾ Support to the vulnerable groups; ¾ Restoration and reconstruction of infrastructure and special facilities; ¾ Resettlement and restoration of production and livelihoods; ¾ Compensation for property losses; ¾ Schedule for the above activities (applicable at any time);

Establish a sound employment mechanism and social security system for land-expropriated farmers to provide a stable source of income and reliable basic living guarantee to land-expropriated farmers, and solve their long-term livelihood issues. This is an embodiment of the important thought of the “Three Represents” and an objective requirement for building a well-being society in all aspects, and has great and far-reaching significance in protecting the lawful rights and interests of land-expropriated farmers, maintaining social and political stability, improving the investment environment, and promoting the comprehensive, sustained, rapid and balanced economic and social development of our province. Governments at all levels shall take it an important task and a priority to promote the employment of land-expropriated farmers, and accelerating the establishment of the social security system for land-expropriated farmers, and perform this task perfectly. 2.Principles to be followed in ensuring the employment and social security of land-expropriated farmers (1) Identify subjects of employment and social security reasonably: Subjects of the employment and social security of land-expropriated farmers are the agricultural population losing all or most of farmland within the planning area of a city (including organic town) approved for land acquisition by the State Council or the provincial people’s government pursuant to law. Out of the planning area of a city (including organic town), the agricultural population not having the basic living and production conditions, or having a per capita arable area of not less than 0.3 mu, or no longer occupying farmland within rural collective economic organizations after voluntary adjustment and not to be non-locally resettled by local people's governments after land acquisition approved pursuant to law shall also be identified as subjects of employment and social security. The specific criteria and term for the identification of subjects of the employment and social security of land-expropriated farmers shall be determined by municipal and county people’s governments based on local conditions. The procedure for the identification of subjects of the employment and social security of land-expropriated farmers is: A farmer affected by land acquisition files an

83

application personally; the members of the village collective economic organization, village committee or villager team discusses his/her eligibility; the town people’s government or sub-district office studies and publishes his/her eligibility; the labor and social security, and land and resources authorities review his/her eligibility, and report to the municipal or county people’s government for determination. (2) Highlight priorities: All local governments shall take the employment of farmers of employment age affected by land acquisition, the endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers and the solution of basic livelihood issues of poor land-expropriated farmers as the priorities of their work, and ensure the medical treatment of land-expropriated farmers and the education of their children. Effective measures shall be taken to ensure that the standard of living of land-expropriated farmers is not reduced due to land acquisition, and that their long-term livelihoods are guaranteed. (3) Scientific measurement and calculation, unified planning, adaptation to local conditions, and steady progress: All local governments shall make unified planning of reform, development and stability, and the near-term, medium-term and long-term interests in local social and economic development, the connection between the employment and social security system for land-expropriated farmers with that for other urban residents, and the protection of the interests of land-expropriated farmers with different terms of land acquisition and reasons, and inside or outside the urban planning area on the basis of sufficient survey and study, detailed occupation data, and detailed basic information of the land and land-expropriated farmers; design practical and feasible specific measures for the employment and social security of land-expropriated farmers through scientific measurement and calculation, formulate definite operating procedures and strict working requirements, provide guidance for different types, and ensure steady and orderly progress. 3.Turn the registered permanent residence of land-expropriated farmers properly. Land-expropriated farmers are encouraged to move to towns.

Governments at all levels shall bring land-expropriated farmers into the urban employment system. Public benefit jobs shall be developed to place land-expropriated farmers. Where conditions permit, a certain proportion of land used for construction acquired by the state may be reserved for resettlement to absorb the employment of land-expropriated farmers. Land users shall give jobs suitable for land-expropriated farmers to them first. Land-expropriated farmers are encouraged to find jobs and start business independently. Unemployed land-expropriated farmers shall be brought into the reemployment service system actively, provided with free vocational training, advice on employment policies, employment information, vocational guidance and referral services; they shall be organized in a planned and orderly manner to participate in employment training and vocational skills training, so as to improve their employment skills and competitive power; and also provided with employment assistance and business startup guidance. 5.Ensure the social security of land-expropriated farmers properly (1) Land-expropriated farmers that have been turned into the nonagricultural status and are eligible for the basic endowment insurance of enterprise employees, the basic medical and unemployment insurances for urban workers shall be brought into the scope of these insurances; those having livelihood difficulties and eligible for

84

the minimum living guarantee for urban residents shall be brought into the scope of the minimum living guarantee for urban residents. If rural social endowment insurance and rural cooperative medical systems have been established, and the rural minimum living guarantee system is tried out locally, land-expropriated farmers that still have the agricultural status in household registration shall be brought into the scope of the corresponding insurances and guarantee; for those eligible for rural aid for the extremely poor and rural minimum living guarantee, their basic livelihood issues should be solved by providing them with rural aid for the extremely poor and rural minimum living guarantee. (2) Establish an endowment insurance system for land-expropriated farmers gradually. An endowment insurance system for land-expropriated farmers shall be established gradually throughout the province in about 3 years’ time. Land-expropriated farmers having attained 16 years of age upon land acquisition and not covered by urban basic endowment insurance may effect the endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers voluntarily, the funds of which shall be raised jointly by the local government, the village (team) collective and individuals.

In this case, the personal payment to the endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers shall be refunded to the insured at a time, and the endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers shall be cancelled thereupon. 6.Strengthen the leadership of the employment and social security of land-expropriated farmers. Governments at all levels shall attach great importance to the employment and social security of land-expropriated farmers, and strengthen leadership practically. The leaders chiefly responsible shall take the lead personally. The labor and social security authorities are in charge of this work, and shall play a leading role practically, and the finance, land and resources, agriculture, civil affairs and public security authorities shall perform their respective responsibilities and work closely to ensure the employment and social security of land-expropriated farmers.

D Resettlement Organization To ensure that resettlement is carried out successfully and the expected results are fulfilled, a top down organization must be set up at the implementation stage to plan, coordinate and monitor resettlement activities. Since resettlement is a very comprehensive task that necessitates the assistance and collaboration of multiple departments, the communications, land and resources, and finance authorities will participate and assist in the implementation of resettlement. Each of the affected towns and villages has 1-2 leaders responsible chiefly for the assistance in resettlement. The agencies responsible for land acquisition and house demolition in the subproject include: ¾ APCD Foreign-funded Project Management Office ¾ AHAB ¾ Municipal/county (including county-level municipal) highway administration bureaus (headquarters)20 ¾ Town people’s governments ¾ Village committees (neighborhood committees) ¾ Project design agency ¾ Independent monitoring and evaluation agency ¾ Other agency: Land Resource Bureau, House Demolition Office, Women Federation and Labor Bureau, etc. E Complaints and appeals Public participation is encouraged throughout the preparation and implementation of the Resettlement Action Plan. Therefore, it is likely that great disputes will not arise. However, some unexpected issues may arise from this process. In order to address such issues and ensure the successful construction and land acquisition of the subproject, a transparent and effective appeal channel has been established. The basic procedure is as follows: Stage 1: If any right of any displaced person is infringed upon in any aspect of land acquisition and resettlement, he/she can report this to the village committee. Either the committee or the displaced person may seek for a solution from the town government through consultation. After receipt of an appeal, the town government will record it, and study a solution together with the committee and the displaced person within 2 weeks. Stage 2: If the complainant is dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 1, he/she may file an appeal to the Tianchang Highway Administration Bureau (Headquarters) after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within 2 weeks. Stage 3: If the complainant is dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 2, he/she may file an appeal to AHAB after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within 2 weeks. Stage 4: f the complainant is still dissatisfied with the disposition of AHAB, he/she may file an appeal to the administrative authorities with competent jurisdiction level by level for arbitration in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Law of the People’s Republic of China after receiving such disposition. Stage 5: If the complainant is still dissatisfied with the arbitration award, he/she may bring an action to a civil court in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Law after receiving such award.

20 A construction headquarters will be set up for the subproject based on the highway administration bureau and in conjunction with the land and resources bureau, finance bureau, auditing bureau, demolition office, communications bureau and construction bureau to be responsible for resettlement.

All agencies concerned will accept the affected people’ complaints and appeals free of charge, and all costs reasonably incurred will be disbursed from the contingency expenses of the subproject. At the whole construction stage, this appeal procedure will remain effective so that the affected people can use it to solve relevant issues. The above appeal channel and the right of appeal will be notified to the displaced persons through the participation process at a public meeting and the resettlement information booklet. In the meantime, appeal proceedings will be published to the affected population people through media. F Implementation schedule of resettlement The overall progress plan for resettlement shall be developed based on the progress of land acquisition. However, this schedule shall be adjusted accordingly if the overall progress deviates. Details are shown in table 7.
