The ethnic minorities development plan is a document of the borrower. The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent those of ADB’s Board of Directors, Management, or staff, and may be preliminary in nature. GUIYANG INTEGRATED WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PROJECT IN THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA Ethnic Minorities Development Plan Yudongxia Reservoir Urban Water Supply Subproject September 5 , 2006 GUIYANG MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT THIS REPORT WAS PREPARED BY THE BORROWER AND IS NOT AN ADB DOCUMENT ENDORSEMENT OF THE ETHNIC MINORITIES DEVELOPMENT PLAN The Guiyang Municipal Government has requested, via the Central Government of the Peoples Republic of China, a loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to finance part of the Guiyang Integrated Water Resources Management Project. The Project will therefore be implemented in accordance with the social safeguards policies of the ADB. This Ethnic Minorities Development Plan represents a key requirement of the ADB. The EMDP presents the situation and actions to be taken to comply with social safeguards concerning ethnic minorities for the subproject. It includes procedures for implementation and monitoring to ensure that the EMDP prepared for this subproject of the sector loan will be effectively executed. The Guiyang Municipal Government hereby endorses the attached EMDP and guarantees that funds will be made available as stipulated in the budget. The GMG has discussed the EMDP with the relevant local officials, including those of Quiannan Bouyeizu Miaozu Autonomous Prefecture, and Longli County, in Quiannan Bouyeizu Miaozu Autonomous Prefecture, and has obtained their concurrence. The Guiyang Municipal Government authorizes Project Management Office for the Guiyang Integrated Water Resources Management Office as the responsible agency to implement the project and related EMDF activities. Approved on 26 September 2006 _______________ _______________, Guiyang Municipal Government (original signed) Guiyang Integrated Water Resources Management Project Black & Veatch (Asia) Ltd SUMMARY ETHNIC MINORITIES DEVELOPMENT PLAN A. Introduction This plan is prepared to better safeguard the all the affected people, regardless their ethnic identities, within the Project area (PA). 31.9% of the affected populations are minorities. Adequate provisions to enhance the economic conditions of vulnerable groups have been integrated in Project design. Current government policies and programs further help to protect and enhance project benefits to ethnic minority groups. Guiyang Water Resource Bureau, with the assistance of PPTA consultants and the design institutions, had constantly consulted the affected people and their communities, the Guiyang Municipal and the project county governments and their line agencies. The consulted line agencies included ethnic minority affairs bureau, poverty reduction office, land administration bureau, reform and development bureau (i.e., planning bureau), water resource bureau, the women’s federation, etc. This document, therefore, represents the joint decisions of both GM and project area authorities. B. Ethnic Minorities in the Project Area Total minority population in PA is estimated to be 2,015 or 15.2% of the total population by 2004, which is as most the same as the average municipal proportion of 15.4%. The largest ethnic minority is Miao, 54% of the total ethnic minority population in the project area, and the second is Bouyei, 44% of the total ethnic minority population in the project area. C. Socioeconomic Characteristics of the Ethnic Minorities Ethnic Minorities live in harmony in the PA and inter-marriages are common amongst Miao, Bouyei and Han. Miao and Bouyei people have distinct ethnic identities and language. They celebrate special festivals of their own during the year. Some people, especially women, wear distinctive ethnic clothing, at least on some occasions. In the subproject area, most agricultural and other livelihood activities are very similar for ethnic minorities and ethnic Han people. Income and Poverty. The net income per capita in the rural area ranges from CNY 2,409 to CNY 3,512. In the affected villages, there are about 10% rural poor people whose per capita income is below CNY 1,200, the poverty line set by the Guizhou Government. Gender Aspects. Gender group discussion indicates a good equity or at least an ever- improving equity status between rural women and men. In rural area, farming activities are shared by men and women, while women having primary responsibility for domestic activities and men for arduous farming activities. The family income is usually jointly managed by husband and wife, while women play more role in the decision-making of family income and expenditure. The rate of divorce is low because people find their husbands or wives by their own will, which also indicates that women have a good social position at their families. In the urban area, the education and employment are almost the same between men and women. D. Impacts of Resettlement The permanent land loss from the subproject will be 3,128.7 mu (208.6 ha) land areas, of which, about 30% are farmland with 1,311 people, including 465 ethnic minority people affected. Temporary occupied land will be 7.9 ha, among which, 30% are farmland, which will affect 173 persons, none of them are ethnic minority people. Yudongxia EMDP 1 5/4/2007 Guiyang Integrated Water Resources Management Project Black & Veatch (Asia) Ltd Along with the land loss, 212 people in 53 households will lose their houses and structures, with an area totaling 12,759 sq m. The Jinlonggu Tourist Spot will be entirely flooded, and part of the Yudongxia Scenic spot. All the people affected by houses and other assets are ethnic minority people in two ethnic minority villages. E. Overall Impact and Minority Beneficiaries The project will have some negative impacts of resettlement which will be mitigated as detailed in the Resettlement Plan, and more positive impacts of improving agricultural irrigation conditions and providing drinking water for the residents in urban area of Guiyang City. The project will directly benefit 182,000 urban residents, of which, 23,280 are ethnic minority people. F. Expectations and Concerns The overall conclusion from public consultation is that the needs and aspirations of ethnic minorities in the project area are the same as their Han neighbors. They want to reconstruct their houses by themselves within the village whether planned by the village or moving backwards. They want lump sum compensation for their existing houses prior to the demolishment. They also want to restore the infrastructure within the village to be damaged by the project for benefit of daily life and production, and show their full interest in their preferred options of resettlement and income restoration strategy. They want to be fully included in project activities and are similarly interested in benefiting from in the water supplied by the Water Plant and have similar views about water pricing. G. Action Plan The Project will apply a mainstreaming strategy to ensure full participation of ethnic minority people and ensure that any persons affected by land acquisition and resettlement are better off after the project. Table 8 presents the main ways in which the project will have impacts on ethnic minority people, targets, number of ethnic minority people affected, budget information, and timing. H. Implementation Arrangement, M&E The PMO, Guiyang Water Resource Bureau, and the contractors, will play a leading role in implementing most of the construction-related measures previously presented. County governments will take the leading role in implementing the supportive measures such as agricultural extension, rural infrastructure improvement, etc. The PMO will monitor the targets identified in the EMDP and update information as implementation proceeds. An external monitoring agency will be engaged in the annual review of ethnic minority’s development in the project and may be asked to advise if specific needs are identified.

  • Appendix 1. a Brief Description of China's 56 Ethnic Groups
    Appendix 1. A Brief Description of China’s 56 Ethnic Groups Throughout history, race, language and religion have divided China as much as physical terrain, political fiat and conquest.1 However, it is always a politically sensitive issue to identify those non-Han people as different ethnic groups. As a result, the total number of ethnic groups has never been fixed precisely in China. For example, in 1953, only 42 ethnic peoples were identified, while the number increased to 54 in 1964 and 56 in 1982. Of course, this does not include the unknown ethnic groups as well as foreigners with Chinese citizenship.2 Specifically, China’s current 56 ethnic groups are, in alphabetical order, Achang, Bai, Baonan, Blang, Buyi, Dai, Daur, Deang, Derung, Dong, Dongxiang, Ewenki, Gaoshan, Gelao, Han, Hani, Hezhe, Hui, Jing, Jingpo, Jino, Kazak, Kirgiz, Korean, Lahu, Lhoba, Li, Lisu, Manchu, 1 The text is prepared by Rongxing Guo based on the following sources: (i) The Ethnic Minorities in China (title in Chinese: “zhongguo shaoshu minzu”, edited by the State Ethnic Affairs Commission (SEAC) of the People’s Republic of China and published in 2010 by the Central Nationality University Press, Beijing) and (ii) the introductory text of China’s 56 ethnic groups (in Chinese, available at http://www.seac.gov.cn/col/col107/index.html, accessed on 2016–06–20). 2 As of 2010, when the Sixth National Population Census of the People’s Republic of China was conducted, the populations of the unknown ethnic groups and foreigners with Chinese citizenship were 640,101 and 1448, respectively.

  • An Ethnoveterinary Study on Medicinal Plants Used by the Buyi People in Southwest Guizhou, China Yong Xiong1,2,3 and Chunlin Long1,2,4*
    Xiong and Long Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2020) 16:46 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-020-00396-y RESEARCH Open Access An ethnoveterinary study on medicinal plants used by the Buyi people in Southwest Guizhou, China Yong Xiong1,2,3 and Chunlin Long1,2,4* Abstract Background: The Buyi (Bouyei) people in Qianxinan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Southwest Guizhou, China, have used medicinal plants and traditional remedies for ethnoveterinary practices, such as treating domestic animals during livestock breeding, since ancient times. However, the unique ethnoveterinary practices of the Buyi have rarely been recorded. This study aimed to identify the plants used in their traditional ethnoveterinary practices, and to propose suggestions for future conservation and sustainable use of this knowledge. Methods: Ethnobotanical fieldwork was conducted in 19 villages/townships in Qianxinan Prefecture between 2017 and 2018. Data were collected from the local Buyi people through semi-structured interviews and participatory observations. The informant consensus factor (FIC) and use reports (URs) were utilized to evaluate the consent of the current ethnoveterinary practices among the local communities, and 83 informants were interviewed during the field investigations. Plant samples and voucher specimens were collected for taxonomic identification. Results: A total of 122 plant species, belonging to 60 families and 114 genera, were recorded as being used in ethnoveterinary practices by the Buyi people. The most used ethnoveterinary medicinal plant (EMP) parts included the roots, whole plant, and bulb, and the most common preparation methods included decoction, crushing, and boiling. Some EMPs, such as Quisqualis indica and Paris polyphylla, have special preparation methods.

(August 2003) Chiung-Fang Chang, B.A., Fu-Jen Catholic University; M.A., San Diego State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Dudley L. Poston, Jr. Sociological and demographic analyses of minority fertility in the United States have suggested that the processes of socioeconomic, cultural, marital, and structural assimilation will lead to convergence in fertility. So far, little research has used the assimilation approach to study the fertility of the minority populations of China, and also, no research has taken both individual-level and group-level characteristics as predictors. Using micro-data from the One Percent 1990 Census of China, this dissertation performs multilevel analyses, hierarchical generalized linear modeling, to examine the effects of assimilation and the one-child policy at both the individual level and the group level on minority women’s fertility.
