Project background 1 The Wudang medium-sized irrigation area consists of the Qiankanqing Reservoir irrigation engineering, the Bashanqiu Reservoir irrigation engineering and the Sanjiang-Dagou diversion irrigation engineering. As an irrigation improvement subproject, the trunk canals, the branch canals and the partial farm field canals in the canal engineering part and the head work hinge collocation, the existing condition will be maintained. And the newly increased farm field canals and farm field matched engineering part could be carried out as typical design. The basis for working out this resettlement plan is the feasibility study report of the Wudang medium-sized irrigation area core subproject. This subproject is planned to be started for implementation in March, 2007. Before start up this subproject, the Guiyang ADB Project Office and the Wudang District Water Resources Bureau will update the resettlement plan according to the engineering design and detailed survey data, publish again to the affected people and report to ADB for approval. A map of the subproject area is shown in Figure 1. 2 The total investment of the Wudang medium-sized irrigation area core subproject budgeted is RMB 8.05 million. The sources of this fund will be from ADB, Guiyang Municipal financial fund and the Wudang District financial fund. The detail, please see the Table 1.

Based on a forecast, about 10016 persons could be benefited, of which the poverty people will be 276 persons, approximately accounting for 3%. B. Resettlement Impacts 4 By June of 2006, the feasibility study report of the Wudang District Irrigation Area Core Subproject has been completed. And based on the socio-economic survey of the Guiyang Water Recourses Development Ltd. 1.2 mu dry land will be permanently occupied land by the subproject and consequently 11 households with 47 persons will be affected. In addition, 22 mu of land of which 1 mu of dry land and 21 mu of grassland will be occupied temporarily with 321 temporary affected households and 1496 affected persons during the construction phase. None of these affected people belong to vulnerable group. The subproject resettlement impacts are shown in Table 2.

The average lost land per household will be 0.1 mu, holding 1.6% of 6.2 mu, the average cultivated land per household. There will not be any person who will lose land above 5%. The corresponding affects to the incomes will be few, accounting for 1.2% of the net incomes of the average person of the affected family, and the compensation for land acquisition is enough to compensate this minor loss. In addition, there is not any resident house to be removed by this subproject. C. Legal Framework and Resettlement Policies 6 The working out of the resettlement plan and the implementation of the post resettlement work will be mostly based on the corresponding policies of the Involuntary Resettlement issued by ADB and relevant laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China, Guizhou province and Guiyang City. All of the compensation standards adopted and the resettlement measures should be carried out. This subproject will follow the following regulations and laws: • Policy of Asian Development Bank on Involuntary Resettlement, November 1995; • Operations Manual –Resettlement (OM/F2/BP), October 2003; • Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China (effected from January 1 of 1999, revised on August 28, 2004); • Decision of the State Council on Deepening Reform and Strengthening Land Administration, Ref. GF[2004]28; • Guidelines for Strengthening Land Acquisition Compensation and Relocation System, Ref. No.GTZF[2004]238, effected from November 3, 2004; • Regulations of Guizhou Province on Land Administration, effected from January 1, 2001; • Decision of the People’s Government of Guizhou Province on Deepening Reform and Strictly Enforcing Land Administration, Ref. QFF[2005]17, effected from June 21, 2005; • Notice of the People’s Government of Guizhou Province on Strengthening Land Acquisition Administration for Key Construction (Ref. QFF[2004]5); • Notice of the People’s Government of Guiyang City on Adjusting Computation Standards for Average Annual Output Value for Land Acquisition in Guiyang City (Ref. ZFT[2002]52). 7 The compensation and resettlement policies of this subproject to the APs are not only in accordance with the domestic regulations and laws requirements and but also in accordance with the ADB’s policy requirements. The basic aim of the ADB’s resettlement plan is to let the affected people restore their incomes and living conditions as soon as possible after the WuDang RP 2 5/4/2007 Guiyang Integrated Water Resources Management Project Black & Veatch (Asia) Ltd subproject implementation, and the working out and the implementation in the future of this resettlement plan is based on this aim. 8 The cut-off date of this Subproject for compensation is the date when the Wudang local government issues the order for stopping building activities, which will happen when the project is formally approved. After this date, any growing and building on rush in the project area will not be eligible for compensation and relocation. 9 Based on sufficient gathering the affected people’s opinions (more than 40% women participating including), this subproject will adopt cash compensation. The land compensation, resettlement subsidy and young crops subsidy will be paid to the affected households directly.

Rosen Received: 17 May 2016; Accepted: 24 August 2016; Published: 29 August 2016 Abstract: A scientific definition of the type of mountain area and an exploration of the spatial correlation between different types of mountain areas and regional land use at the county level are important for reasonable land resource utilization and regional sustainable development. Here, a geographic information system was used to analyze digital elevation model data and to define the extent of mountainous land and types of mountain areas in Guizhou province. Exploratory spatial data analysis was used to study the spatial coupling relation between the type of mountain area and land use degree in Guizhou province at the county level. The results were as follows: (1) Guizhou province has a high proportion of mountainous land, with a ratio of mountainous land to non-mountainous land of 88:11. The county-level administrative units in Guizhou province were exclusively mountainous, consisting of eight semi mountainous counties, nine quasi mountainous counties, 35 apparently mountainous counties, 13 type I completely mountainous counties, and 23 type II completely mountainous counties; (2) The land use degree at the county level in Guizhou province have remarkable spatial differentiation characteristics.

  • First Meeting of the Public-Private Partnership and Infrastructure Financing Network of Asia and the Pacific
    First Meeting of the Public-Private Partnership and Infrastructure Financing Network of Asia and the Pacific City of Guiyang, Guizhou Province 12th -13th September 2018 While infrastructure projects have traditionally been financed by governments and multilateral development banks, the mobilization of private resources through public-private partnerships (PPP) has been attracting strong interest from governments in Asia and the Pacific. PPPs are expected to help governments both overcome resource constraints and improve delivery. Recognizing this potential, the member States of the United Nations have recommended the encouragement and promotion of effective public-private partnerships as a means of implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In the Asia-Pacific region, the Regional Road Map for Implementing the 2030 Agenda, endorsed by UN ESCAP member States in May 2017, highlighted the need to undertake research, analysis and consensus-building initiatives to enhance regional knowledge of infrastructure financing, including public-private partnerships. Subsequently, in December 2017 the Committee on Macroeconomic Policy, Poverty Reduction and Financing for Development, requested the ESCAP secretariat to consider developing a network on public-private partnerships and infrastructure financing to provide a regular platform on which experts can exchange best practices, share their experiences and knowledge products, and provide capacity-building support. Countries in the region are increasingly accumulating experience in the use of the PPP mechanism. Among them, China’s growth in the use of PPPs increased dramatically after the establishment of the China Public Private Partnership Center (CPPPC) in 2014. Since then, the country has initiated around 7,660 projects, valued at over 11.9 trillion yuan or USD 1.7 trillion.
