The road section K1 - K1 +800 in the c01 contract package refers to the land acquisition and demolition of Yanjiahe village. Reply: The procedure of land acquisition is being handled. Arguably, in order to avoid land acquisition and demolition in Yanjiahe village Tianshui Urban Construction Investment Group Co. Ltd. (TUCIGC) will adjust the route of road section K1 - K1 +800 in the c01. Currently, the early formalities are being handled. 2. In the c04 contract package, 2 km of road has completed land acquisition. The other 1km of road goes across Xiakou village, affecting 170 households in total. About 70 households have signed the agreements on land acquisition and received compensation. The other 100 households are in consultation. Reply: For Xiakou village, due to the village committee leadership election that did not reach legal votes after two rounds of selection, the third election is scheduled in early march. Acquisition of remaining land does not start. 3. In the c03 contract package, according to the updated RP, 55 households of Huwang village will be affected by house demolition Reply: According to the spirit of mayor's office meeting, Tianshui Urban Construction Investment Group Co. Ltd. (TUCIGC) selects the land site combined with the project of “village in city” in Mapaoquan area of Maiji district. After issuance of the mayor's office meeting, TUCIGC will sign agreement with the Government of Maiji District, which will start the moving work of APs. 4. In the c07 contract package, all land is state-owned. House demolition will start in March 2014 and will be completed within one year. Reply: The preparation of house demolition is being done. 5. In the c09 contract package, land acquisition and house demolition have been completed. Among the 59 affected households, 50 households have resettled and only 9 households are in transition. There resettlement houses are under construction and can be offered to them in June 2014. Reply: 9 households are in transition. 6. The due diligence on new heat source plant and heat pipeline. Reply: The due diligence on new heat source plant has been completed and social-economic survey is being done. 7. Complaints and appeals Reply: 7 households who have complaints have signed the agreements. 1 Overall Resettlement Five (5) tenders of Chengji Road started to be constructed. 839.86 mu of land has been acquired. 827 households have signed the contract of land acquisition, accounting for 74.57%. Land acquisition of C04 tender is being done so that the progress is affected to a certain extent. Among 7 households who have complaints in Wujiazhuang, 7 households have agreed on land acquisition. Land acquisition in Xiakou goes slowly, so PMO has taken some measures. Now acquired land accounts for 72.72% of the planned quantity. Land acquisition and house demolition of Chiyu Road have been completed, 9 households who choose to resettle in Shanshuixincheng is in transition. Sample survey shows that APs’ production level and living condition don’t decrease. Now the tracking survey on production level and living condition is being conducted. Detail measuring survey of Shuangqiao Xi River Bridge has been completed so far. House demolition has not started. House demolition of Maiji New Town has not ended. The reason is that the resettlement site is being adjusted. The Government of Maiji District is discussing the resettlement site and resettlement plan with the related planning department and town/village committee. Only 3 households have moved to other places and the others haven’t moved. Shetang Wei River Bridge has one change in design. In order to coordinate with road height, a section of road is determined to be added so that land using is added. This land is road land so that land acquisition and resettlement will not be caused. This conclusion is reflected in the updated RP. 55 households in Huwang village will be affected by house demolition. Now 3 households have signed the compensation agreements and their houses have be demolished. Due to other domestic project, the Government of Maiji District plans to demolish the whole Huwang village and implement the reform plan of “village in city”. According to the spirit of mayor's office meeting, Tianshui Urban Construction Investment Group Co. Ltd. (TUCIGC) selects the land site combined with the project of “village in city” in Mapaoquan area of Maiji district. After issuance of the mayor's office meeting, TUCIGC will sign agreement with the Government of Maiji District, which will start the moving work of APs. Primary heating pipelines, heat exchange stations, the control center and the heat relay station have completed RP during the phase of technology support and have gotten ADB’s approval. However, by Dec 31, 2013, the detailed survey hadn’t been completed, so the prerequisite for updating the RP does not possess. After the detailed survey is completed, according to the latest policy of land acquisition and resettlement, the RP of district heating component will be updated and sent to ADB for approval. The construction of the heat source plant is approved by the related department in Tianshui and the preparation work has started. Because the construction of the heat source plant which doesn’t use ADB’s fund directly is associated with district heating component, due diligence is Qinzhou district and is the east gate of Taijing town. The village is 5km away from the downtown with 186 households (860 people), 1546.78 mu of cultivated-owned land and is mainly on dry-agriculture. The site of the heat source plant concludes 101.4 mu of land (98.8 mu of cultivated land, 2.5 mu of road land). 2 households with 500 m2, 1 pumping house with 40 m2, 27 vegetable greenhouses and 527 fruit trees will be demolished, and land acquisition affected 57 rural households (252 people).

    CEPF SMALL GRANT FINAL PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT I. BASIC DATA Organization Legal Name: Li Xiaohong Project Title (as stated in the grant agreement): Assessment on Influencing Factors on the Giant Panda Habitat in Diebu County, Gansu Province Implementation Partners for This Project: Diebu Forestry Bureau, Jiuzhaigou Forestry Bureau, Gansu Baishuijiang National Nature Reserve Management Bureau, Gansu Wildlife Conservation Management Bureau Project Dates (as stated in the grant agreement): July 1, 2004—Sept. 30, 2005 Date of Report (month/year): 11/2005 II. OPENING REMARKS Provide any opening remarks that may assist in the review of this report. Diebu County is one of the most important habitats for the C population of giant panda in Min Mountains. According to the Third Giant Panda Survey, there are 11 gaint pandas in this habitat. Before 1998, little attention had been given to giant pandas and their habitats in this area because logging was a major industry in Diebu County. Therefore, Diebu is seen one of the least known giant panda habitats. Through 3 field trips and community investigations in this project, we collected rich information. We also organized a Workshop to study influencing factors on Diebu giant panda habitat. Participants of the Workshop, including management personnel of Diebu giant panda habitat and other stakeholders, actively discussed difficulties and strategies to protect this habitat. Gansu Forestry Professional School (where I work with) attaches importance to this project, and plans to review this project as one of the School’s priority scientific researches. The final evaluation will be submitted to CEPF early next year (2006).
