The target is, through the action plans for resettlement and restoration, to benefit the affected people, improve their living standards and, at least to restore their production and livelihood after project implementation. Project Areas. Project areas refer to places where the project is located, normally referring to the administrative areas at or under the county level (city, county and town). The project areas of this Project cover Yongxin District and Nanning New & High-tech Industrial Development Zone of Nanning City, including Xinxu Town, Shibu Town and Shangyao Subdistrict Office. Affected People. Affected people (APs) refer to the group of people, due to the project construction, (1) whose living standards are adversely affected or, (2) whose houses, land (including the house land, farmland and grassland of their ownership and titles, as well as their various types of movable and immovable properties are temporarily or permanently acquired and occupied, or (3) whose production, operation, working and living are adversely affected. “Affected People” refer to the individuals who conform to the definition of the “Affected Population”. APs may refer to natural persons or legal persons (for example a company or a public institution etc.). Identification of the APs shall not be confined to those who conduct productive activities or reside in the affected areas being with or without legal registration and approval, nor be confined to those who do have or do not have the ownership of these properties. Therefore, APs shall include: (1) People who are affected by the project construction, regardless of the legal ownership of the properties that are acquired by the project. (2) People who live in the affected areas even without being approved. Therefore, all these people shall be considered and registered as the APs, regardless of their legal status of the properties, land and location. Restoration. Restoration refers to the recovery of the resources capacities of the APs, enabling them to continue their productive activities at the levels that are higher than or at least not less than those they had when the project was not constructed and, at least restore to or be higher than their previous living standards. Replacement. Replacement refers to making necessary arrangement for the APs for production and living, enabling them to restore to the previous productive and living standards and be benefited from the project construction. Mainly including: (1) To arrange the living areas; (2) To provide with suitable employment for the APs who have lost their jobs or seriously affected by the project; (3) To restore or compensate the productive resources that are affected by the project II construction, such as land, working site, trees and infrastructure; (4) To restore the living standards (quality) for the APs who are adversely affected by the project construction through land acquisition, indirect resettlement effects or other negative impacts; (5) To restore or compensate the private or public-own enterprises that are affected by the project, and. (6) To eliminate the negative effects on the cultural facilities and communal properties. Methods for Resettlement: (1) Monetary resettlement. This is to make compensation to villagers who will dispose the money at their will in restoring production and living. Monetary compensation accompanied by suitable resettlement shall be made for the losses of business investment and equipment incurred to the floating population. (2) Compensation in-kind. This refers to the subsidies in kind. Normally, the demolition unit shall construct comprehensive commercial and residential buildings for the purpose of resettlement; or provide with commercial and industrial buildings for the rural collective economic organizations to manage. (3) Resettlement with reserved land. This is also called to reserve industrial land. It serves as a complementation to the monetary compensation. Subject to the requirement of planning, some lands shall be reserved preferentially for rural collective organizations of which lands have been requisitioned for the purpose of development operation. The reserved land shall enable the rural collective organizations and households to gain stable benefits through legal operation. There are three types of reserved lands for resettlement: reserved state-owned land; reserved collectively-own land; reserved construction land use quota. Normally, as for these three types of reserved land resettlement, the proportion of the reserved land shall not be over 20% of the total lands that have been requisitioned by the project. (4) Re-employment resettlement for the rural people who have lost their land. The land-using units shall employ the labors; the labor administrative department shall make general arrangement; the rural people who have lost their lands are encouraged to make self-employment. (5) Resettlement through equity participation. The land acquisition compensation shall be concentrated as the business investment, and on annual basis, the rural people shall share the profits. The actual process in this connection shall be: the land acquisition and resettlement compensation shall be concentrated by the rural economic organization for special investment, such as construction of standard factory buildings and stores for leasing. The villagers group shall share the profits on regular basis each year according to respective areas of land that have been requisitioned. The shares shall be further distributed to the individual villagers. Or, the compensation shall be divided into shares and further quantified to individuals; the funds shall be operated by the rural economic organization. In this case, the annual profits shall be distributed according to the percentages of shares. (6) Social security resettlement. This is to ensure the social insurance premium in-place, i.e. making a 15-year lump-sum payment of the social insurance premium (endowment insurance, unemployment insurance and medical insurance) and a one-off payment of living subsidies. III Vulnerable groups. Vulnerable groups refer to the solitary elderly, the disabled, households headed by women, poverty-stricken families and ethnic minorities other than Zhuang. Identification of these vulnerable groups who might require special assistance is an important issue in the resettlement. (1) Poverty population. Poverty-stricken population refers to those who are below China’s poverty line, including the relative poverty-stricken population and absolute poverty-stricken population. According to the poverty identification standard of Nanning City, people with annual average income of lower than RMB650.00 (current year price) are classified as absolute poverty population, while those with annual average income between RMB650-RMB882 are classified as relative poverty population. (2) Households headed by women. Refer to the families that are without dependence on male while headed by women. In

    -1- RP-27 VOL.2 China Guangxi Highway Project Ethnic Minority People's Development Plan Public Disclosure Authorized I. Introduction 1. The proposed Guangxi Third Highway Project is part of the provincial government's strategy for poverty alleviation in Guangxi. Many of the project areas are still without road access to the outside world and poor communication is a big obstacle in local development. Local people and government in the project areas have expressed realized the importance and significance of communications improvement in the project areas. There is a popular saying that "To become rich, build roads first." This well demonstrates their need and desire to build roads as a priority for poverty alleviation. This proposed project will significantly promote the poverty alleviation efforts and development in the project areas. Public Disclosure Authorized 2. The highway project would go through a largely ethnic minority area. About 29,302 people would be affected by land acquisition and house demolition under the project and over 95% of them belong to national ethnic minority groups. The World Bank OD 4.20 requires that a development plan be prepared to ensure that i) the development process fosters full respect for the dignity, human rights and cultural uniqueness of the minorities, and ii) the minority groups do not suffer adverse effects during the development process and iii) they receive culturally compatible social and economic benefits. 3. In line with the requirements of China laws, regulations and World Bank Operational Directive 4.30 on Involuntary Resettlement and 4.20 on Indigenous People, Guangxi Communications Department, with the assistance of Xi'an Highway University Public Disclosure Authorized and Guangxi Social Science Academy, has prepared a Resettlement Action Plan to cope with the adverse impacts, including those of land acquisition and house demolition.

  • RDL Mutations Predict Multiple Insecticide Resistance in Anopheles Sinensis in Guangxi, China Chan Yang1,2, Zushi Huang1, Mei Li1, Xiangyang Feng3 and Xinghui Qiu1*
    Yang et al. Malar J (2017) 16:482 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-017-2133-0 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access RDL mutations predict multiple insecticide resistance in Anopheles sinensis in Guangxi, China Chan Yang1,2, Zushi Huang1, Mei Li1, Xiangyang Feng3 and Xinghui Qiu1* Abstract Background: Anopheles sinensis is a major vector of malaria in China. The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-gated chloride channel, encoded by the RDL (Resistant to dieldrin) gene, is the important target for insecticides of widely varied structures. The use of various insecticides in agriculture and vector control has inevitably led to the develop- ment of insecticide resistance, which may reduce the control efectiveness. Therefore, it is important to investigate the presence and distribution frequency of the resistance related mutation(s) in An. sinensis RDL to predict resistance to both the withdrawn cyclodienes (e.g. dieldrin) and currently used insecticides, such as fpronil. Methods: Two hundred and forty adults of An. sinensis collected from nine locations across Guangxi Zhuang Autono- mous Region were used. Two fragments of An. sinensis RDL (AsRDL) gene, covering the putative insecticide resistance related sites, were sequenced respectively. The haplotypes of each individual were reconstructed by the PHASE2.1 software, and confrmed by clone sequencing. The phylogenetic tree was built using maximum-likelihood and Bayes- ian inference methods. Genealogical relations among diferent haplotypes were also analysed using Network 5.0. Results: The coding region of AsRDL gene was 1674 bp long, encoding a protein of 557 amino acids. AsRDL had 98.0% amino acid identity to that from Anopheles funestus, and shared common structural features of Cys-loop ligand- gated ion channels.

  • Biplot Evaluation of Test Environments and Identification of Mega
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Biplot evaluation of test environments and identification of mega-environment for sugarcane Received: 23 April 2015 Accepted: 28 September 2015 cultivars in China Published: 22 October 2015 Jun Luo1, Yong-Bao Pan2, Youxiong Que1, Hua Zhang1, Michael Paul Grisham2 & Liping Xu1 Test environments and classification of regional ecological zones into mega environments are the two key components in regional testing of sugarcane cultivars. This study aims to provide the theoretical basis for test environment evaluation and ecological zone division for sugarcane cultivars. In the present study, sugarcane yield data from a three-year nationwide field trial involving 21 cultivars and 14 pilot test locations were analysed using both analysis of variance (ANOVA) and heritability adjusted-genotype main effect plus genotype-environment interaction (HA-GGE) biplot. The results showed that among the interactive factors, the GE interaction had the greatest impact, while the genotype and year interaction showed the lowest impact. Kaiyuan, Lincang and Baoshan of Yunnan, Zhangzhou and Fuzhou of Fujian, and Hechi, Liuzhou and Chongzuo of Guangxi, and Lingao of Hainan were ideal test environments with a demonstrated high efficiency in selecting new cultivars with a wide adaptability, whereas Baise of Guangxi was not. Based on HA-GGE biplot analysis, there are three ecological sugarcane production zones in China, the Southern China Inland Zone, the Southwestern Plateau Zone, and the Southern Coastal Zone. The HA-GGE biplot analysis here presents the ideal test environments and also identifies the mega-environment for sugarcane cultivars in China. Environmental changes affect both crop growth and yield due to significant genotype × environment interactions (GE)1–5.

  • Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor?
    DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2015.16.8.3579 Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor? RESEARCH ARTICLE Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor? Wei Deng1&, Long Long2&*, Xian-Yan Tang3, Tian-Ren Huang1, Ji-Lin Li1, Min- Hua Rong1, Ke-Zhi Li1, Hai-Zhou Liu1 Abstract Geographic information system (GIS) technology has useful applications for epidemiology, enabling the detection of spatial patterns of disease dispersion and locating geographic areas at increased risk. In this study, we applied GIS technology to characterize the spatial pattern of mortality due to liver cancer in the autonomous region of Guangxi Zhuang in southwest China. A database with liver cancer mortality data for 1971-1973, 1990-1992, and 2004-2005, including geographic locations and climate conditions, was constructed, and the appropriate associations were investigated. It was found that the regions with the highest mortality rates were central Guangxi with Guigang City at the center, and southwest Guangxi centered in Fusui County. Regions with the lowest mortality rates were eastern Guangxi with Pingnan County at the center, and northern Guangxi centered in Sanjiang and Rongshui counties. Regarding climate conditions, in the 1990s the mortality rate of liver cancer positively correlated with average temperature and average minimum temperature, and negatively correlated with average precipitation. In 2004 through 2005, mortality due to liver cancer positively correlated with the average minimum temperature. Regions of high mortality had lower average humidity and higher average barometric pressure than did regions of low mortality.
