Executive Summary 1. Project Overview The project, located in Yanji city of Jilin province, consists of 3 outputs as follows: (i) Output 1 (Low-carbon Urban Mobility—BRT System): BRT station and BRT line construction, driveway broadening at BRT stations, road upgrading, purchase and integration of station operating equipment and intelligent dispatching system, purchase of BRT vehicles, sustainable integration and improvement of BRT slow traffic and land planning, bus depot selection and construction, intelligent transport system, crossing channelization, pipeline and landscaping relocation, other road supporting facilities, etc. (ii) Output 2 (Sponge City and Flood Management): rainwater / wastewater separation or wastewater interception of the catchment areas of the Xinxing and Dongxing Ditches, sponge transformation of sunken green spaces and sidewalks, settling and storage regulating tanks, ecological filter tanks, pond rainwater regulation and purification measures, ecological improvement of the Chaoyang River banks. (iii) Output 3 (Water supply and wastewater Management System Construction): community water supply network construction, water meter system improvement, flow meter installation, and rainwater and wastewater network reconstruction and expansion. (iv) Output 4 strengthening of institutional capacity: strengthening the project management capacity of the project implementing institutions or units.

2. LA and HD According to the feasibility study and the fieldwork, the Project affects 3 villages in two townships of Yanji City. The main types of impacts of the Project are permanent LA, temporary land occupation, demolition of rural non-residential properties, and infrastructure and ground attachments. The Project will affect 80 households with 268 persons in 3 villages in two townships of Yanji City. The resettlement impacts are linear that is mainly caused by Chaoyang River improvement. Among 80 households affected by land acquisition, no households will lose more than 1% of land source and 5% of income due to land acquisition, therefore, the resettlement impact is not significant, and the project can be categorized as B regarding on involuntary resettlement. In addition, the project will impact an abandoned fishpond that belongs to Taixing Village, and livelihoods will not be affected. 50.68 mu of collective land will be acquired for the Project, including 9.72 mu (19.18%) for the Dongxing Ditch and 40.96 mu (80.82%) for Chaoyang River Management. By land type, the acquired land includes 28.64 mu (56.51%) of irrigated land, 18.81 mu (37.12%) of wasteland and 3.23 mu (6.37%) of fishpond. State-owned roads of 247.98 mu (165,399.5m2) will be occupied temporarily for Water and Wastewater Management System Construction. A non-residential property (200 m2 abandoned brickyard in masonry timber structure owned by the collective of Beida Village, Yilan Town) will be demolished for the Dongxing Ditch, affecting no one. The Project does not involve the demolition of residential houses. According to the survey and interviews, the land for Hongyun street to be constructed under BRT corridor has been acquired. A due diligence has been conducted that is detailed in Appendix 1. The due diligence report confirms that there are no outstanding issues or grievances related to land acquisition or resettlement.

3. Policy framework and entitlements 1) Land acquisition The LA compensation rates of the Project have been fixed in consultation with the local governments and APs according to the Land Administration Law of the PRC, Guidelines on Improving Compensation and Resettlement Systems for Land Acquisition, Land Administration Regulations of Jilin Province, and Notice of the Yanbian Prefecture Government on the Implementation of Location-based Composite Land Prices (YPG [2017] No.74). Location-based composite land prices include land compensation and resettlement subsidy, where the compensation rates are as follows: i) farmland and construction land: 75,300 yuan/mu, ii) unused land (wasteland): 60,240 yuan/mu, and iii) young crops: 1,000 yuan/mu. 2) Temporary land occupation Wastewater Management System Construction will involve the temporary occupation of state- owned roads, and road restoration will be included in the construction budget without compensation. 3) HD The Project involves the demolition of a rural abandoned workshop only that belongs to Beida village and does not involve the demolition of residential houses. Through consultation with the proprietors, this workshop will be compensated for at replacement cost (2,500 yuan/m2). 4) Infrastructure and attachments The infrastructure and attachments affected by the Project will be compensated at replacement cost.

4. Livelihood restoration and resettlement Income restoration measures include cash compensation, skills training, agricultural development, social security, etc. A strip of land (6m) along the river will be acquired along the Chaoyang River, including some cultivated lands in Taidong and Taixing villages. According to analysis, for two villages affected by cultivated land acquisition, the impact rates of LA are less than 0.5%, which are 0.43% in Taidong village and 0.10% in Taixing village of Chaochuan Town. Through the calculation of the annual income loss for the villages affected by LA, the results show that per capita income loss due to the project is lower than 5%. Therefore, the project will not cause significant income impacts. Land acquisition is unlikely to result in significant impacts to the livelihood of the affected households, but will affect agricultural income partly, and the LA compensation is sufficient to cover the lost agricultural income. Socio-economic surveys and consultations with the AHs confirm that all AHs prefer cash compensation, because it is easy and flexible.

5. Vulnerable groups and women The Project will affect no vulnerable groups1. The Project will affect 143 women, accounting for 51.3% of all APs. During project implementation, women will enjoy the same rights of information, participation and compensation as men. Unskilled jobs generated at the construction and operation stages will be first made available

1 Vulnerable group refers to those individuals and their families who are living below the urban-rural minimum living standard, including orphan, aged people, handicapped people, mentally disabled persons, and women-headed households.

to women. Women will receive equal pay for equal work, and enjoy priority in skills training. Among the 220 person days of training opportunities to be provided under the Project in total, not less than 120 person-days will be for women (54.5%). A special FGD with women will be held to introduce resettlement policies and improve women’s awareness. 6. Ethnic minorities The Project will affect 188 ethnic minority residents, all being Koreans, accounting for 70.15% of all APs, including 165 in Taidong Village and 23 in Taixing Village. They enjoy the same rights and status as Han people, and mostly work in Republic of . 7. Public participation and information disclosure All APs (with 30% being women) have been informed of the key points of this RP by various means and involved in the Project, such as meeting, interview, FGD, public participation meeting and community consultation, and their opinions have been well incorporated into this RP. The Resettlement Information Booklet (RIB) will be distributed to the APs or groups in April 2019. A grievance redress mechanism has been established, and the agencies concerned will accept grievances and appeals from the APs for free, and all costs so reasonably incurred will be disbursed from the contingencies. 8. Grievance redress An appeal procedure has been established to settle disputes over compensation and resettlement. The aim is to respond to appeals of the APs timely and transparently. Grievances about the Project may be from LA, temporary land occupation, etc. Correspondingly, the Project Leading Group, Yanji PMO, affected township governments and village committees will coordinate and handle grievances and appeals arising from resettlement. The APs may file appeals about any aspect of resettlement, including compensation rates. 9. Organizational structure In order to ensure the successful implementation of the Project, YMG has established a leading group for overall leadership and coordination. The Yanji PMO has been established under the leading group for routine management and coordination, progress control and reporting, and communication between YMG and ADB. The Yanji PMO is the implementing agency (IA) of the Project and is responsible for RP implementation together with the agencies concerned.

10. M&E In order to ensure the successful implementation of this RP, resettlement implementation will be subject to internal and external monitoring. Internal monitoring will be performed by the Yanji PMO and other agencies concerned (e.g., land and resources bureau), and an internal monitoring report will be submitted to ADB semiannually during resettlement implementation, and a resettlement completion report will be submitted one year after the completion of resettlement implementation. The Yanji PMO will appoint an independent agency to conduct external monitoring and evaluation (M&E) semiannually. M&E costs will be included in the resettlement budget.

11. Resettlement budget and implementation schedule All costs incurred during LA and resettlement will be included in the resettlement budget of the Project. Based on prices in 2018, the resettlement budget is 12.21 million yuan ($1.82 million); including LA and HD compensation, land taxes, monitoring costs, contingencies, etc. This RP will be updated based on detailed designs and resettlement DMS that is expected in January 2020. The implementation of resettlement plan will be taken up only after the clearance by

3

ADB for the updated RP and is expected to begin in May 2020 and is expected to be completed in December 2020.

1 Overview of the Project

1.1 Background Yanbian Korean and Yanji City has been affected by the economic downturn of northeastern China, and their economy relies mainly on tourism and related industries, farm product processing and logistics. Yanji City has rich natural landscape resources, but its tourism potential has not been fully tapped. In 2017, among its 9.58 million visitors, only 450,000 were from abroad, mostly from Korea, Japan and Russia. The local economy cannot provide sufficient job opportunities, and high-quality young talent is flowing out. With the improvement of the living standard, the number of private cars is growing rapidly, being 170,000 at the end of 2017. The rapid growth of private cars, slow road construction and inadequate traffic management have given rise to a series of traffic problems, including traffic congestion and accidents. Eliminating urban traffic congestion and improving citizens’ traffic safety awareness have become urgent issues. The project will build a bus rapid transit system, which will connect Yanji international airport economic development zone and Yanji high-tech industrial development zone with the central . Bus rapid development belt will drive the development of the east and west sides of the city and the development of land along the road, to achieve the transit mode of bus oriented urban development. In the process of BRT construction, traffic organization optimization and signal phase adjustment are adopted to alleviate congestion in central urban areas and improve the level of public transport services. Integrate pedestrian, bicycle and other green slow traffic modes, improve the accessibility of bus rapid transit, effectively improve the travel quality of citizens from a humane and sustainable perspective, curb the growth and use of cars, relieve the pressure of urban traffic congestion, improve the city's taste and status, and establish a harmonious city image. Along with construction of BRT corridor within right-of-way of the existing roads, public space, water supply and sewage system construction and sponge city infrastructure construction will be carried out on both sides of the BRT corridor to improve the urban infrastructure, drive urban development, improve the overall landscape and living environment, and make Yanji a livable new city.

1.4 Preparation and Progress In the engineering design phase, the impact of the LAR should be minimum, the main principles are following: • To avoid or minimize the occupation of existing and planned residential areas (rural and urban); • To avoid or minimize the acquisition of high quality arable land; • To use existing state and local roads towards to the proposed construction area; • To avoid or minimize the occupation of environmentally sensitive areas; and 16

• To select the resettlement areas in line with the local development plan.

At the planning and design stages, the design agency and the owner took the following effective measures in order to reduce the local socioeconomic impacts of the Project: At the project planning stage, the local socioeconomic impacts of the Project were taken as a key factor for option optimization and comparison. The flood control banks were routed along the river where possible to minimize land occupation effectively. Existing traffic facilities, such as signs and signals, are utilized where possible to reduce costs. 1) Design of BRT station: transform the existing bus depot to reduce the area of the social parking lot. In addition to the BRT bus station, taxis, long-distance buses, etc., may also stop and transfer through the station. According to the characteristics of the enclosure and traffic organization of each stage of the construction node, the sidewalk in the construction area shall be continuously uninterrupted with a width of at least more than 2 meters, and the pedestrian and non-motor vehicle crossings shall be realized by plane crossing according to the characteristics of the construction stage. At the same time, relevant guidance should be made to guide non-motor vehicles and pedestrians to bypass the construction area by using the surrounding branch road network. 2) Optimize the design, in order to reduce resettlement impact, the width of the road and river design is different. The embankment revetment line is in line with the flow direction of the river and roughly parallel to the main flood line. 3) Optimize the design and occupy as much wasteland and state-owned land as possible to reduce the use of cultivated land. For example, the first and last station of BRT bus is in the east empty land of Yanji west station and Renmin road thermal power plant. At the preparation stage, the Yanji PMO and Municipal Engineering Design & Research Institute surveyed the project site, and communicated with the agencies and stakeholders concerned repeatedly to optimize the project design, in which LA and resettlement are key indicators for option comparison.

2 Impacts of the Project 2.1 Project Impact Categories Based on the resettlement surveys conducted on basis of feasibility designs, the main types of impacts of the project include: (i) Loses of land acquisition and occupation; (ii) Demolition of residential house and attachments; (iii) Losses of ground attachments and infrastructure.

2.2 Methodology and Procedures According to safeguard policy statement of ADB, from January to February 2019, the Yanji PMO conducted a socioeconomic survey on the affected villages and households in the project area, and obtained detailed information on project impacts, covering LA and HD impacts, socioeconomic profile of the affected population, public opinions, etc. All APs were covered by the survey. During the survey, comments on LA, HD and resettlement were collected extensively from agencies concerned, township governments, village committees and local residents through consultation. the results of the consultations have been incorporated in the RP. The survey was conducted using various of methods, including site visit, data collection and query, questionnaire and interview. The socio- economic survey is gender sensitive. Consultations were held with women to collect their opinions and suggestions; the results of the surveys have been incorporated in the RP. Land acquisition survey: The survey team surveyed the area of the acquired land by ownership and type after the design institute defined the range of land acquisition by field setting- out. Affected Population Survey: sampling survey was conducted on the affected population to collect information on their gender, nationality, age, education and employment. House demolition and ancillary facilities survey: Demolished houses was separately registered and counted by ownership and structure of the houses, and the ancillary facilities was registered and counted one by one. Scattered tree survey: Scattered trees within the affected areas were counted on spot to differentiate fruit trees and other trees and registered by species. Special facility survey: The affected water resources, electric power and telecommunication facilities were surveyed based on the existing information of the competent authorities and verified and registered on spot.

2.3 Affected Area At the current stage, the land acquisition and resettlement impact of this subproject are identified based on the recommended design of the FSR, the land acquisition and resettlement impacts of this project will be mainly caused by construction of Dongxing ditch and Chaoyang River Management. The LA and HD will affect 2 townships (Zhaoyangchuan town and Yilan town), 3 villages (Taixing village,Taidong village and Beida village). The LA and HD will affect 80 households with 268 persons, including 61 ethnic minority households with 188 persons, all of them are Korean, accounting for 70.15% of total affected population; the affected houses are abandoned houses of Beida village collective, there is no affected population, and LA will affect 80 households with 268 people. The project will permanently acquire 50.68 mu of collective land including 28.64 mu cultivated land, 3.23 mu fish pond and 18.81 mu unused land. This project will demolish abandoned house of Beida village of Yilan town, which covers an area of 200 m2, the building structure is masony-timber, there is no affected population, the housing property is Beida village of Yilan town. According to site survey, the project does not involve the demolition of shops, enterprises and institutions. See Tables 2-1 and Table 2-2.

For cultivated land acquisition that will be mainly caused by construction of Chaoyang River Management, two villages (Taidong and Taixing) will be affected. The impact rates of LA are less than 0.5%, which are 0.43% in Taidong village and 0.10% in Taixing village of Chaochuan town. Through the calculation of the annual income loss for the villages affected by LA, the results show that loss rate of the per capita income of this project is lower than 5%, among which loss rate the per capita income of Taidong village in chaochuan town is 1.46%, and loss rate of the per capita income of taixing village is 3.79%. Therefore, the project will not cause significant income impacts by land acquisition.

2.3.4 Other Temporary Impacts Construction will affect the surrounding environment to some extent, including: 1) construction noise, industrial and domestic wastewater, flying dust, etc.; 2) relocation of some existing bus stops and setup of temporary stations; and 3) obstruction of vehicle and pedestrian traffic.(4) During the construction, the construction of pedestrians may temporarily affect the shops along the street and residents living on both sides of the road, and may cause inconvenience to residents' daily travel. Yanji project office will suggest that the PMO should adopt semi-closed construction for leaving enough safe passage for residents to travel or shops to operate. Therefore, shops along both sides of the road will be not closed. The Yanji PMO will ask the contractor to take measures to reduce environmental and social impacts, mainly including: 1) Before the construction, posting the construction announcement and conducting publicity two weeks in advance; 2) reducing noise, wastewater and flying dust pollution; 3) setting up temporary signs and rain shelters at bus stops; 4) keeping pedestrian and non-motor vehicle traffic unobstructed through proper crossing design; 5) guiding non-motor vehicles and pedestrians to bypass

23

construction sites via branch roads; and 6) minimizing the construction period and semi-closed construction, and impacts on nearby residents, stores and entities through stage-by-stage construction.

2.3.5 Vulnerable Groups Vulnerable group refers to those individuals and their families who are living below the urban- rural minimum living standard, including orphan, aged people, handicapped people, mentally disabled persons, and women-headed households. Based on the social survey and final results, it was indicated that the per capita income of affected people in project area is above 11,000 yuan/year/person, which is higher than the local minimum subsistence level (4800 yuan/year/person). And meantime after the double check with government, no households are identified as poor HHs or low-income HHs in the surveyed households. From the survey results, it was indicated that no disabled persons, no orphans, no elderly households, and no women headed households found in the affected households. In such, we confirm that there are no vulnerable groups/households in the project.

2.3.6 Ethnic Minority Yanji City is the capital of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture (YKAP), with the whole ethnic minority population of 323,238 persons, 52.71% of the total population in Yanji, more than the population of Han Majorities,among which 95.53% are Korean minorities, 3.61% are Manchu minorities, and less than 1% are the rest EMs respectively such as Mongolian and Hui, etc... The project will affect 188 EMs, all of them are Korean, those ethnic minority residents live closely together with other groups, the project will affect 188 EMs, all of them are Korean, Those ethnic minority residents live closely together with other groups. Although affected by land acquisition, the project itself and land acquisition will not affect the traditional entitlements for the use of land and other resources; The social and economic status of the affected ethnic minorities is the same as that of Han, Inter-ethnic marriage is possible, and all Korean people use Chinese characters and . Apart from their ethnic characteristics in national language, diet, and residence, there is no difference between Han people. Therefore, all the nationalities get along well with each other. All the nationalities attach more attention to the Mid-Autumn festival and the Spring Festival. For these ethnic minorities, they have the advantage of language. Some of them work in South Korea and engage in the service industry to increase their family income by using Korean. As a result, their income is mainly from working outside and farming. The PMO will give them reasonable compensation according to the national policy, and at the same time, they will get the right of priority training in terms of project labor and technical training, etc. Therefore, there is no difference in the perspective.

2.3.7 Affected Infrastructure and Ground Attachments The Project will affect 5 types of attachments, including canals, telegraph poles and trees. See Table 2-7.

4 Policy Framework and Compensation Rates

The resettlement work of the Project will be planned and implemented in accordance with the laws and regulations of the PRC, local regulations, and ADB’s policy on involuntary resettlement. Any change to this RP will be approved by ADB in advance. In case of any major change, the PMO will consult with the APs, and provide an updated RP. 4.1 Laws, Regulations and Policies Applicable to Resettlement 4.1.1 State Laws and Regulations • Land Administration Law of the PRC (effective from January 1, 1999, amended on August 28, 2004) • Measures on Public Announcement of Land Acquisition (Decree No.10 of the Ministry of Land and Resources) (effective from January 1, 2002) • Regulations on House Acquisition on State-owned Land and Compensation (Decree No.590 of the State Council) • Decision of the State Council on Deepening the Reform and Rigidly Enforcing Land Administration (SC [2004] No.28) • Guidelines on Improving Compensation and Resettlement Systems for Land Acquisition (MLR [2004] No.238) (November 3, 2004) • Measures for the Administration of Preliminary Examination of the Land Used for Construction (Decree No.27 of the Ministry of Land and Resources) (effective from December 1, 2004) • Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Doing a Good Job in the Employment Training and Social Security of Land-expropriated Farmers (SCO [2006] No.29) • Notice of the State Council on Intensifying Land Control (SC [2006] No.31) • Notice of the Ministry of Land and Resources on Further Improving the Management of Land Acquisition (June 26, 2010) • Notice on Strengthening Supervision and Inspection, and Further Regulating Land Acquisition and House Demolition Behavior (ZJB [2011] No.8) 4.1.2 Local Regulations and Policies • Land Administration Regulations of Jilin Province (amended in November 2015) • Notice of the Jilin Provincial Land and Resources Department on Improving and Optimizing Land Use Review and Approval (JPLRD [2017] No.2) • Notice of the General Office of the Jilin Provincial Government on Strengthening Planning Control, Regulating Land Acquisition, and Protecting Farmers’ Lawful Rights and Interests (JPGO [2014] No.33) • Opinions of the Jilin Provincial Government on Doing a Better Job in Construction Land Review and Approval, and Meeting Project Land Demand (JPG [2012] No.37) • Land Assets Administration Regulations of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture (effective from April 16, 1997) • Notice of the Yanbian Prefecture Government on the Implementation of Location-based Composite Land Prices (YPG [2017] No.74) • Interim Measures of Yanji City for Land and House Acquisition on State-owned Land and Compensation (YMG [2015] No.32) • Interim Measures of Yanji City for Basic Endowment Insurance for Land-expropriated Farmers (YMGO [2008] No.26)

4.1.3 ADB Policies • Safeguard Policy Statement, June 2009 • Gender and Resettlement Analysis (2006)

4.1.4 ADB Policy on Involuntary Resettlement The objectives of ADB’s policy on involuntary resettlement are to: 1) avoid involuntary resettlement where possible; 2) minimize involuntary resettlement impacts by studying and designing alternatives; 3) improve or at least restore the APs’ living standard to the pre-project level; 4) and improve the living standard of the displaced poor population and other vulnerable groups.

4.2 Differences between ADB and PRC Policies The main aspects of the national legal system include the collective land acquisition, the procedures for transferring collective land to the state, house demolition on collective land in rural areas, and house demolition on state-owned land in urban areas triggering the need for compensation and relocation of displaced persons, households, and communities. Key gaps between SPS of ADB (2009) and the PRC’s regulatory framework and how to the bridge them are discussed below.

(i) identification of poor and vulnerable groups during the risk and impact screening process.

Specific to vulnerable households (men, women, ethnic groups), they are identified by the Government as those who belong to the (i) Five-Guarantee program (the elderly, weak, widowed and disabled members who are unable to work and have no means of living, or whose households lack labor) who are being provided with production and living assistance (e.g. food, clothing, fuel, education and burial expenses) and (i) those eligible for the Minimum Living Guarantee System and are provided with living subsidy each month. Furthermore, identification of the poor and vulnerable households can be only done during the implementation phase of a project. Those who are not considered as vulnerable groups as per Government’s definition but may become at risk of being vulnerable or experience hardship due to impacts of LA/HD; i.e., may need special support during the transition period (e.g. during relocation such as provision of labor, transport) will also be identified and will be provided with necessary assistance. Those being ethnic minority, elderly, and women-headed-households but do not fall under the Government criteria requires greater in-depth assessment during DMS to determine their vulnerability factor. In this project, no poor and vulnerable households were found. However, it will be verified during RP updating.

(ii) Lack of documentation on the consultation and information disclosure activities, and grievances received.

Meetings and interviews held with the affected households are reflected in the RP and will continue to be documented during RP updating and implementation. The grievance redress will also be documented as part of the monitoring reports. Disclosure of the key information in the RP will be carried out through the distribution of resettlement information booklets in local language.

(iii) Inadequate social and risk analysis as resettlement planning is focused on loss of land and impacts on houses.

34

Social impact assessment was carried out during RP planning through the conduct of socio- economic surveys, consultation meetings, inventory of losses, and key informant interviews. Gender analysis was also carried out. Such measures led to the preparation of project entitlements, relocation, rehabilitation, and gender strategies; and they are reflected in this RP.

(iv) Assistance to households who are not eligible for compensation of houses at replacement cost.

Based on the Regulations on the Demolition and Compensation of Houses on State-owned Land (2011), the illegal houses and temporary structures which were constructed after the approval period will not be compensated. However, if the APs belong to the vulnerable groups and in need of housing, they will be assisted in securing affordable housing or low-rent housing which is according to the Regulations to Solve the Housing Difficulties for the Low Income HHs issued by State Council [GF 2007, No 24], affordable housing and low-rent housing should be provided to the households who have housing difficulties. The owners of demolished houses can apply for affordable housing and low-rent housing assistance. Compensation for non-land assets will be paid at their replacement cost. Resettlement assistance will be provided to those who lost their legal houses when they meet the Project’s cut-off date to move out. If an earlier cut-off date has been established by the Government, the Government’s cut-off date will be followed, provided that the following conditions are met: (i) copy of Halt Notice for Land Acquisition and House Demolition/pre-notice for Land Acquisition and House Demolition published, (ii) documents confirming dissemination of information (billboards, minutes of public meetings, letters to households, newspapers, websites, broadcast, etc.), and (iii) confirmation from households that they were informed about the cut-off-date verbally and in writing. For households who are not eligible for compensation for houses at replacement cost, the reason as to why the structure has no certification/license; and their socio-economic conditions, and vulnerability will be assessed by the Project (through its local government and concerned bureaus) to determine the necessary assistance that can be provided to them to ensure that they will be able to at least to restore their living standards and will not be worse-off because of the subproject. In the project area, there are no illegal houses.

(v) Inadequate monitoring and reporting arrangements

Monitoring is not being done on a regular basis. Each implementing agency has its own procedures of monitoring and documenting the project process. In this project, regular monitoring and submission of monitoring reports will be carried out. Monitoring reports will be disclosed to the public. All monitoring reports will be submitted to ADB for review and the reports will be posted on PMO and ADB websites.

4.3 Eligible for compensation and the Deadline for the Beneficiary's Compensation The deadline for the definition of compensation qualification is set at the time when Yanji municipal people's government releases project information to APs. APs will be notified through the distribution of RIB or the posting of notices on the village collective information bulletin board. It is expected to issue the notice after the completion of the final design of the project and DMS. The settlement of APs in the affected area after the compensation deadline, the newly cultivated land, the newly built houses and any other trees and new facilities planted solely for the purpose of additional compensation shall not be included in the scope of compensation or subsidy. The deadline

35

for compensation is also the date on which RP is approved and released to APs.

4.4 Determination of Project Compensation Standard 4.4.1 Expropriation of Rural Collective Land The LA compensation rates of the Project have been fixed in consultation with the local governments and APs according to the Land Administration Law of the PRC, Guidelines on Improving Compensation and Resettlement Systems for Land Acquisition, Land Administration Regulations of Jilin Province, and Notice of the Yanbian Prefecture Government on the Implementation of Location-based Composite Land Prices (YPG [2017] No.74) (see Appendix 5). Location-based composite land prices include land compensation and resettlement subsidy, and exclude compensation for young crops, ground attachments and HD. In the project area (Taidong Village, Chaoyangchuan Town, and Taixing and Beida Villages, Yilan Town), the location-based composite land price for farmland and construction land is 75,300 yuan/mu (113 yuan/m2), and that for unused land 60,240 yuan/mu. See Table 4-1. In line with the Yanbian regulations on usage of land compensation, meetings with the villagers were held and was determined that 8% of the LA compensation will be withheld for collective construction, and the balance will be distributed to the AHs. Table 4-1 LA Compensation Rates

Young crop compensation for acquired land is based on the output value of a cultivation period, and young crops that can be harvested on time will not be compensated. Cropping in the project area is limited to one season during the summer, which is usually rice cultivation. Discussions with the farmers informed that there is no cultivation during winter due to extreme cold weather. Compensation rates for attachments on acquired land will be agreed on between both parties, or if both parties cannot agree, appraised by a qualified agency accepted by both parties or designated by the county (municipal) government. See Table 4-2.

4.4.2 Temporary Land Occupation Wastewater Management System Construction will involve the temporary occupation of state- owned roads, and road restoration will be included in the construction budget without compensation.

4.4.3 Demolition of Non-residential Properties The project involves all the abandoned houses in Yilan town Beida village. Housing is masonry- timber for 200 m2. It is abandoned now, no affected population, property rights belong to Beida village collective in Yilan town. the project involves the demolition of a rural abandoned workshop only.

5 Production and Income Restoration

5.1 Purpose of Resettlement The purpose of this subproject aims at restoring the per capita annual net income of the affected households to the level before the program and further improve it with the development of the local economy. 5.2 Principles of the Restoration Plan The resettlement of this project should follow the basic principles according to the relevant laws and regulations of state as well as ADB Involuntary Resettlement: (i) The implementation of resettlement and compensation policies will restore or even improve the production and living standards of the affected households; (ii) The resettlement plan should be fully negotiated with the affected population; (iii) The resettlement plan should be made by the principles of favorable production, convenient life; (iv) The resettlement plan should integrate with local urban development planning, resource development, economic development and environmental protection. 5.3 Resettlement for Abandoned Workshop 5.3.1 Impact Analysis of Permanent Land Acquisition Impact analysis of permanent land acquisition: the permanent acquisition of rural collective land in this project two towns and three administrative villages in Yanji City, with a total of 50.68 mu of collective land. Including Beida village collective for 9.72 mu, without affected persons; Taidong village collective and Taixing village collective for 40.96 mu, affect 80 HHs with 268 APs. According to the socio-economic survey and measurement, the land acquisition impact rate of the two affected administrative villages4 is less than 0.5%. the impact rate of Taidong village of Chaoyangchuan Township is 0.43% and Taixing village of Chaoyangchuan Township is 0.10%. Therefore, the land acquisition for this project had little impact on the affected village. Through the calculation of the annual income loss of the villages affected by land acquisition. The results show that the per capita income loss rate of this project is lower than 5%, among which the per capita income loss rate of Taidong village in Chaochuan Township is 1.46%, and the per capita income loss rate of Taixing village is 3.79%. The Impact analysis of permanent land acquisition will be shown in table 5-1. According to the survey, among the 80 households with 268 persons affected by LA, all affected households have land loss rates of less than 10%, and no households lose more than 10% of cultivated land. See details in Table 5-2. According to survey and analysis, annual income loss of Taidong village is estimated at 43,000yuan due to land acquisition, while compensation for land acquisition is about 2.08 million Yuan that is more than 48 times of income loss. Similarly, annual income loss of Taixing village is estimated at 21,700yuan, while compensation for LA is about 1.05 million Yuan that is more than 48 times of income loss. Annual income loss and compensation of LA is shown in Table 5-3. Through above-mentioned analysis, land acquisition impacts on villages and AHs are not significant.

4 The acquired land of Beida village of Yilan town is collective wasteland, without Aps. Therefore, this LA impact analysis only involves Taidong village and Taixing village of Chaoyangchuan town.

5.3.2 Restoration Plan for Affected Village In the field survey, almost all the affected farmers welcomed the project construction and land acquisition. Affected households require monetary compensation for land acquisition. Based on the extent of the impact and the wishes of the affected persons, different economic recovery plans have been developed through full consultation with communities, village committees and resettlement households during the socio-economic survey. The impact of land acquisition on the affected villages in this project is relatively small, and the monetary compensation will be mainly adopted. The compensation fee will be strictly in accordance with relevant national and local policies, and the compensation will be paid directly to the affected villages in full and on time according to the compensation standard for land acquisition and the amount of lost farmland. At the same time, based on monetary compensation, it will provide free skill training, promote non-agricultural employment, implement social security and other resettlement measures in combination with local resource conditions and economic and social development. While promoting the improvement of rural environment in Yanji city, the livelihood mode of the affected families will be transformed, and their living standards will be improved. The planned living and income restoration plan are as follow:

(1) Monetary compensation For the land acquisition, the compensation standard for affected village will be based on the Notice of the Yanbian Prefecture Government on the Implementation of Location-based Composite Land Prices (YPG [2017] No.74). According to the price standard of Yanbian, compensation standard of Taidong village, Taixing village of Chaoyanghuan Township and Beida village of Tilan Township Township will be 75300 yuan/mu (113 yuan/m2) and fit for all the farmland in Yanbian. The compensation standard of construction land will be one time of farmland, 75300 yuan/mu. The unused land will be 80% of the farmland, 60240 yuan/mu. In LA compensation, land compensation and resettlement subsidy will be paid directly to the affected village collective economic organization, the 8% of compensation will be retained in village committee, used for the development and other construction, the remaining part of compensation will be fully paid to the affected people. Distributed through discussion at a village congress. There are two distribution modes in the 3 affected villages based on past practices: 1) Land compensation and resettlement subsidy are distributed evenly within the village group, followed by land reallocation. This mode is used in Taidong Village, Chaoyangchuan Town. 2) Land compensation and resettlement subsidy are distributed directly to the AHs without land reallocation, so that they can take agricultural and nonagricultural livelihood restoration measures to make up lost agricultural income. This mode is used in Taixing Village, Chaoyangchuan Town and Beida Village of Yilan Town.

(2) Skill training Most Koreans in Yanji City work in Repulic of Korea. The Yanji PMO will develop a free agricultural and nonagricultural skills training program for employment in Korea to the directly affected labor together with the agriculture, social security and employment authorities, and adjust the program timely based on employment demand. Agricultural skills training mainly includes fruit tree cultivation, poultry and livestock feeding and breeding, etc. Nonagricultural skills training mainly includes bricklaying, farm machinery operation and repair, motorcycle repair, masonry, painting, welding, tailoring, concrete, waterproofing, etc. In addition,

41

LEFs may apply for a secured startup loan to meet financial demand. Among the 220 person-days of training opportunities to be available under the Project in total, not less than 120 person-days of trainees will be women (54.5%). See Table 5-3.

(3) Development of agriculture Since AHs will have remaining land, agricultural development is an important means of livelihood restoration. The Yanji PMO and the IA have formulated the following agricultural development measures for the Project in consultation with the township governments – organic rice cultivation, greenhouse vegetable base construction, farm product processing and large-scale stockbreeding. These 4 efficient agricultural patterns are expected to increase agricultural income by 70%. 1) Organic rice cultivation: Many villages in Yanji City are suitable for organic rice cultivation due to unique climatic conditions. It is expected that the income per mu will be over 10,000 yuan. 2) Greenhouse vegetable base construction: Villagers will become shareholders of the farm through land transfer for dividend distribution and earn money by working for the farm. 3) Farm product processing: A whole industry chain from farm product processing, leisure to brand building will be developed to absorb local labor. 4) Large-scale stockbreeding: In the affected villages, poultry breeding, and aquaculture are developed to varying degrees, and the estimated annual profit of medium scale poultry breeding and aquaculture is 20,000-30,000 yuan.

(4) Social insurance In the Project, endowment insurance for LEFs is based on the Interim Measures of Yanji City for Basic Endowment Insurance for Land-expropriated Farmers (YMGO [2008] No.26) (see Appendix 6). The benefits of the social insurance will be explained to the affected farmers so they can make an informed decision if they want to participate. Details below: The monthly basic pension for LEFs is 200 yuan, all paid from the endowment insurance fund. The monthly pension actually received by the insured is calculated as follows: For male LEFs: balance of individual account + pooling fund /180 months; For female LEFs: balance of individual account + pooling fund /240 months. The endowment insurance fund consists of an individual account fund and a pooling fund, and is established by the individual, village collective and municipal government at the ratio of 3:4:3. The individual account consists of the individual contribution, collective contribution and interests, where a male LEF shall contribute 10,800 yuan (14,400 yuan for a female LEF) at a time, accounting for 30% of the total premium payable, and the village collective shall pay 14,400 yuan for a male LEF (19,200 yuan for a female LEF) at a time, accounting for 40% of total premium payable. Interests on the above two contributions will be included in the individual account. The pooling fund consists of the fixed amount subsidy paid by the municipal government to the individual account (10,800 yuan for a male LEF and 14,400 yuan for a female LEF), accounting for 30% of the total premium payable.

5.4 Restoration for Temporary Occupation The construction of the sewage pipeline network of sewage management system for the safety and climate adaptability of the project will temporarily occupy the state-owned land without compensation. The units that occupy cultivated land shall be responsible for restoration to pre-project condition. 5.5 Demolition for the Abandoned Village Collective Houses The involved abandoned village collective houses in Beida village collective of Yilan Township, covering an area of 200m2 for masonry-timber structure. The houses are abandoned with no affected persons and belong to village collective of Yilan Township. During the socio-economic investigation, the abandoned houses will be compensated with

43

monetary compensation after the preliminary consultation between PMO, affected township and Beida collective village of Yilan Township. And Beida village agrees with the resettlement method of monetary compensation.

5.6 Protection of Women’s Rights Local women play an important role in farming and family affairs. During the resettlement process, women’s rights and interests will be fully protected. Women will fully participate in resettlement activities through information disclosure and village collective meetings. Women will be allowed to play an important role in socioeconomic and resettlement activities, and women enjoy the same rights as men in training and employment. At the construction and operation stages, women will be placed to suitable jobs, such as food purchasing and other logistical work. The measures to promote women’s development under the Project include: 1) Women will have priority in employment. 2) Women will receive agricultural and nonagricultural skills training, where not less than 25% of the trainees should be women. 3) Women will receive relevant information during resettlement and may participate in public consultation. 4) A special FGD with women will be held to introduce resettlement policies and improve women’s awareness. 5) Compensation agreements must be signed by couples.

5.7 Vulnerable Groups No vulnerable group has been identified during resettlement planning. Any vulnerable group identified during RP updating and implementation will be subject to the following measures. Yanji PMO will cooperate with relevant departments to give support according to the specific situation of each household. 1) Vocational training, and employment information and guidance will be granted to laborers in vulnerable households to increase their job opportunities. 2) Unskilled jobs generated at the construction and operation stages of the Project will be first made available to laborers in vulnerable households. In addition, the vulnerable affected households will continue to be eligible for the pensions granted by the local government and will be prioritized in receiving a collective-secured loan from a local credit cooperative through application. Restoration Program for Infrastructure and Attachments The affected infrastructure and ground attachments will be compensated for by the project owner, and then rebuilt by their respective proprietors. Restoration measures for affected infrastructure must be planned and arranged in advance and suited to local conditions, so that such measures are safe, efficient, timely and accurate, and their adverse impact on nearby residents is minimized. For the affected public infrastructure, the house demolition must be according to the working plan, do not affect construction and try to minimize the numbers of relocate. Affected pipelines will be rebuilt before demolition (or relocated) without affecting regular lives of residents (including the residents that need not to relocate) along such pipelines.

9 Implementation Schedule According to the project implementation schedule, the project will be planned and implemented for 5 years from 2020 to 2024; the LAR will begin in May 2020 and end in December 2020. The basic principles for resettlement implementation are as follows: • LA shall be completed at least one month prior to the commencement of civil construction. • During the LAR, the APs shall have opportunities to participate in the project. Before the commencement of civil construction, the scope of LAR will be disclosed, the RIB distributed and public participation activities conducted properly. • All compensation shall be paid to the affected proprietors directly and fully within 3 months of approval of the compensation and resettlement program for LAR. No entity or individual should use such compensation funds on their behalf, nor should such compensation be discounted for any reason.

9.1 RP updating based on detailed design (1) Verification of the scope of LAR The scope of the LAR will be defined according to the project detailed design and layout. And the resettlement work will be assigned to affected village via meetings, and then inform to the affected village committee. The Yanji PMO will survey and register land, houses and attachments, and their ownership within the defined project scope. (2) Field investigation of the scope of impacts on buildings, attachments, structures, facilities, The Yanji PMO will organize relevant staff of Yanji LRB, village to visit the affected areas, investigate and register land, houses (if applicable), attachments, facilities and equipment, etc., judge the nature and ownership of infrastructure, and keep detailed records. (3) Updating the RP and preparing the budget Before the beginning of land acquisition, and civil works, the RP will be updated based on the detailed design and detailed measurement survey (DMS), and submitted to ADB for approval. (4) Contract signing Under the coordination and direction of Yanji PMO, Yanji PMO will enter into land acquisition agreements with Yanji LRB, and pay the contract price. The compensation agreement for land acquisition will be signed based on the compensation rates specified in the RP, and in accordance with the state, provincial and municipal laws and regulations on resettlement. Yanji PMO, LRB, and Township government will negotiate with the affected village committees, residents, enterprises and stores about compensation and resettlement respectively. After consensus, Yanji LRB and PMO will sign the compensation agreement for land acquisition immediately. A copy of such agreement should be submitted. Yanji PMO will supervise and witness the whole process.

9.2 Work during Resettlement Implementation (1) Disbursement of compensation payments The APs will receive compensation timely after signing agreements. (2) Land use license The EA should endeavor to obtain all land use licenses timely. LAR certificates must be obtained before the payment of compensation and the acquisition of land, houses and private properties. (3) Internal supervision, and external M&E Internal supervision is the responsibility of the IA, which will submit a progress report to the Yanji EA and ADB semi-annually. External M&E is the responsibility of Yanji PMO will entrust an external and experienced resettlement monitoring agency to conduct external monitoring and evaluation and report to the PMO and ADB every six months during implementation of the

55

subproject. The purpose of external M&E is to access whether APs’ incomes and living standards have been fully restored or improved after the LAR. If the target is not achieved as the RP, further measures should be suggested and taken.

9.3 Work after Resettlement Implementation (1) Internal supervision and external M&E After the completion of resettlement, the external and internal monitor should maintain to complete fulfillment of the project. (2) Filing and documentation When the resettlement work is finished, the responsible party should submit a supplementary report to Yanji LRB to check and archive.

10 Monitoring and Evaluation

In order to ensure the successful implementation of the RP and realize the objectives of resettlement properly, land acquisition, property demolition and resettlement activities of the project will be subject to periodic M&E according to ADB’s resettlement policy requirements, including internal and external monitoring.

10.1 Internal Monitoring 10.1.1 Purpose The purpose of internal monitoring is to enable all resettlement agencies to function properly during project implementation, conduct internal supervision and inspection on the whole process of resettlement preparation and implementation, learn resettlement progress, and ensure that the land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement work can be completed on schedule according to the RP, and promote successful project construction.

10.1.2 Organization and Staff The internal resettlement monitoring agencies are Yanji PMO and other relevant authorities (e.g., Yanji LRB Housing and urban-rural construction agency and Land Acquisition Management Office). These agencies will have a leader who is responsible specifically for the resettlement work. Such leaders should have rich resettlement experience and authority, and be able to coordinate all departments involved in the resettlement work. The members of such agencies should have knowledge on resettlement and social issues so as to perform their duties.

10.1.3 Scope of Internal Monitoring Yanji PMO will develop a detailed internal monitoring plan for land acquisition and resettlement, including: (1) Payment, use and availability of compensation fees for land acquisition, house demolition, and implementation progress and quality of production and development options of APs; (2) Investigation, coordination of and suggestion on key issues of the resettlement and implementing agencies during LAR; (3) Restoration of the household income of APs; (4) Restoration of vulnerable groups, if any; (5) Payment, use and availability of compensation funds; (6) Restoration and reconstruction of infrastructure, ground attachments and special facilities; (7) Level of public participation and consultation during LA and resettlement; (8) Resettlement training and its effectiveness; and (9) Working mechanism, training, working hours and efficiency of local resettlement offices.

10.1.4 Internal Monitoring Reporting Yanji PMO will submit a semi-annual progress report to ADB. Such report should reflect the progress of land acquisition, house demolition, resettlement and use of compensation funds through comparison with the budgeted amount and schedule.

69

weeks. ➢ Stage 2: If the AP is dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 1, he/she may file an appeal with the Yanji PMO after receiving the above disposition, which should make a disposition within two weeks. ➢ Stage 3: If the AP is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 3, he/she may file a suit in a court in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Law of the PRC after receiving the above disposition. The APs may file an appeal about any aspect of resettlement, including compensation rates and resettlement programs. The above appeal channels have been notified to the APs at a meeting or otherwise, so that they are fully aware of their appeal right. In addition, comments and suggestions on resettlement have been compiled into messages via mass media for timely handling. In practice, the compensation rates comply with the applicable regulations and policies, the compensation has been paid fully, and the APs are highly satisfied. Some minor issues, such as recording omissions and errors, were corrected timely. Therefore, no appeal or grievance has been received during implementation. 3.3 Evaluation Public participation is well organized, and information transparency is high. During LA compensation and resettlement, no appeal or lawsuit arising from LA compensation has been received. The public participation and grievance redress mechanisms have played an excellent role during resettlement.

4.3 Satisfaction Survey The task force conducted a satisfaction survey on the 17 AHs. See Table 4-5.

Table 4-5 Satisfaction of Sample Households Percent (%) Information Compensation Compensation Answer DMS Policy disclosure and and resettlement and resettlement results implementation policy transparency mode policies Very dissatisfied 0 0 0 0 0 Dissatisfied 4.0 5.0 3.0 0 0 Neither, nor 33.0 64.0 44.0 48.0 45.0 Satisfied 63.0 31.0 48.0 47.0 43.0 Very satisfied 0 0 5.0 6.0 2.0 Total 100 100 100 100 100

Only few AHs are dissatisfied with information disclosure, compensation and resettlement mode, and DMS results mainly because they know little about the relevant policies. 4.4 Evaluation The survey shows that the AHs are satisfied with LA compensation and resettlement in general, and support the Project because it will promote the city’s future development and improve their future

71

livelihoods greatly.

5. Conclusion LA has been completed to date. The specified LA notification, confirmation and hearing procedure has been performed for the Road, and the affected village collectives and persons have no objection to the LA location, land ownership, types and areas, compensation rates, resettlement modes, etc., and have not filed an application for hearing. The LA compensation policy and rates comply with the applicable laws and regulations of PRC, and the LA and ground attachment compensation has been fully paid. 95% of the AHs are satisfied with LA compensation and resettlement. All compensation and resettlement work has been conducted normatively and orderly, and no appeal or lawsuit arising from LA compensation has been received.
