Replies to Resettlement Questions in the Memorandum LOAN 2647-PRC: WUHAN URBAN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT REVIEW MISSION (19–23 September 2016) Replies to Related Resettlement Questions 13. The mission visited project sites and discussed with EA and IAs regarding the implementation issues of land acquisition and resettlement. So far, all permanent land acquisition and house relocation have been completed except house construction in two resettlement sites which are ongoing. A total of 1,795 mu lands were permanently acquired or transferred and 57,009 m2 houses/buildings were demolished, which affected 183 households or 542 persons. The mission was advised that so far a total of CNY1.37 billion of land acquisition and resettlement fund has been disbursed. Given the inconsistencies of resettlement costs in the latest resettlement monitoring report, the EA should double check each item of land acquisition and resettlement costs and provide more accurate land acquisition and resettlement costs in next project progress report. Reply: Land acquisition and resettlement costs is 1.4712 billion yuan. 14. Component 1: Integrated sludge treatment and disposal. Given the proposed locations for the new sludge treatment plants in Sanjintan WWTP and Huangjiahu WWTP will be constructed inside the existing WWTPs, the EA prepared and submitted a due diligence report on land acquisition and resettlement for the proposed changes to ADB in early 2016. For Huangjiahu WWTP, 800 m2 buildings within the environment buffer zone of sludge treatment plant were relocated as indicated in the resettlement due diligence report. The mission visited the sites of two new sludge treatment plants respectively in Sanjintan WWTP and Huangjiahu WWTP, and noted that both sites are ready for construction. Reply: Land acquisition and resettlement work of component 1 has be completed. 15. Component 2: Wuhan New Zone lakes and channels rehabilitation and pumping station. According to the approved changes in scope and updated resettlement plan, Longkou, Longxin and, Zhujiaxin Channel rehabilitation subprojects are dropped out of ADB financed project, The ecosystem rehabilitation project for Longyang Lake, Moshui Lake and Nantaizi Lake only affects state-owned land of one state-owned fishing farm and no people or livelihoods were affected. A total of 43 households in Laoguang village were demolished in September 2014 due to construction of Sixin pumping station. The mission was advised the resettlement site of Laoguang village is located at the intersection of Sixinzhong Road and the 3rd Ring Road, the construction site 1 and resettlement apartments commenced construction in July 2015 and

  • Evaluation of the Fairness of Urban Lakes' Distribution Based On
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Evaluation of the Fairness of Urban Lakes’ Distribution Based on Spatialization of Population Data: A Case Study of Wuhan Urban Development Zone Jing Wu *, Shen Yang y and Xu Zhang y School of Urban Design, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China; [email protected] (S.Y.); [email protected] (X.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected] These authors contributed equally to the research. y Received: 14 November 2019; Accepted: 4 December 2019; Published: 8 December 2019 Abstract: Lake reclamation for urban construction has caused serious damage to lakes in cities undergoing rapid urbanization. This process affects urban ecological environment and leads to inconsistent urban expansion, population surge, and uneven distribution of urban lakes. This study measured the fairness of urban lakes’ distribution and explored the spatial matching relationship between service supply and user group demand. The interpretation and analysis of Wuhan’s remote sensing images, population, administrative area, traffic network, and other data in 2018 were used as the basis. Specifically, the spatial distribution pattern and fairness of lakes’ distribution in Wuhan urban development zone were investigated. This study establishes a geographic weighted regression (GWR) model of land cover types and population data based on a spatialization method of population data based on land use, and uses population spatial data and network accessibility analysis results to evaluate lake service levels in the study area. Macroscopically, the correlation analysis of sequence variables and Gini coefficient analysis method are used to measure the fairness of the Wuhan lake distribution problem and equilibrium degree, and the location entropy analysis is used to quantitatively analyze the fairness of lakes and Wuhan streets from the perspective of supply and demand location entropy.

The purpose of this paper was to assess the distribution of COVID-19 morbidity rate in association with social and economic factors and discuss the implications for urban development that help to control infectious diseases. This study was a cross-sectional study. In this study, social and economic factors were classified into three dimensions: built environment, economic activities, and public service status. The method applied in this study was the spatial regression analysis. In the 13 districts in Wuhan, the spatial regression analysis was applied. The results showed that: 1) increasing population density, construction land area proportion, value-added of tertiary industry per unit of land area, total retail sales of consumer goods per unit of land area, public green space density, aged population density were associated with an increased COVID-19 morbidity rate due to the positive characteristics of estimated coefficients of these variables.

Aiming at the current imperfect hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system and the unreasonable spatial distribution of medical facilities. This article introduces 2SFCA model improved by the Gaussian distance decay function and multiple stage radius to evaluate the accessibility of medical facilities in Wuhan. The results indicate that: firstly, compared with the traditional 2SFCA model, the improved 2SFCA model is more sensitive to the identification of spatial accessibility, and the transition effect of the identification results is more obvious, which can accurately reflect the spatial distribution characteristics of the accessibility of medical facilities in Wuhan. Secondly, the distribution of medical facilities in Wuhan is obvious and the main factors that affect the accessibility value in different urban areas are quite different. Thirdly, the high value areas of medical facilities in the main urban area of Wuhan are mainly concentrated within the second ring line, the transition effect between the second and third ring lines is obvious, and the low value areas are mainly concentrated outside the third ring line.

This paper aims to explore the correlation between climatic factors and the morbidity of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, mainly by using a geographic detector and GWR model. It was found that the response of the morbidity of COVID-19 to meteorological factors in Wuhan is different at different stages. On the whole, the morbidity of COVID-19 has a strong spatial aggregation, mainly concentrated in the central area of Wuhan City. There is a positive correlation between wind speed and the spread of COVID-19, while temperature has a negative correlation. There is a positive correlation between air pressure and the number of COVID-19 cases. Rainfall is not significantly correlated with the spread of COVID-19. It is concluded Citation: Lin, Q.; Ou, G.; Wang, R.; Li, Y.; Zhao, Y.; Dong, Z.
