INTRODUCTION This Ethnic Minorities Development Plan (EMDP) is prepared to ensure equitable sharing of the project benefits and mitigation measures by the concerned minority communities and individuals in the project area of the Shimen Flood Control Subproject, which is part of Hunan Provincial Flood Management Project in Hunan Province, People‟s Republic of China (PRC). The EMDP for Shimen Subproject is based on the PPTA‟s Resettlement Plan, the Social and Poverty Assessment, and consultation with ethnic minority groups, local county governments and their respective line agencies. A summary of distribution and socioeconomic characteristics of ethnic minorities in the project areas – four river basins, and 35 subprojects will be the context for such assessment. Based on review of social and poverty conditions of ethnic minorities in both Shimen County and the project protected areas, adequate provisions to enhance the economic conditions of minority groups have been integrated in project design. Provisions for special mitigation measures have been included in the resettlement plan, which will help ensure that ethnic minorities adversely affected by resettlement will also benefit from the project. Current government policies and programs for ethnic minorities further help to protect and enhance project benefits to ethnic minority groups. This plan targets the Tujia nationality in the project area, which account for about 56% of the total population in Shimen County and 99.7% of the total minority population. 4 EMDP of Shimen Subproject Shimen County PMO II. BACKGROUND A. Project Description The proposed Shimen Flood Control Subproject is one of the 35 subprojects under Hunan Flood Management Project. The subproject is located in urban areas of Shimen County, northwestern Hunan Province. The flood control protection circle include Dongcheng district and Baofeng district, covering Chujiang town, Baofeng district and Erdu township. Shimen urban area is located in the southeastern part of Shimen County, which connects Linli County, Changde city to the east, Taoyuan county to the south, Cili county and Sangzhi county, of Zhangjiajie city to the west, and Wufeng county of Hubei Province to the north. The urban area of Shimen County is 67.5km2. The length from east to west is 12km and the width from south to north, 7km. Mainly, the river system which is passing through the Shimen County seat district is Lishui River. Lishui River is one of the four largest river systems in Dongting Lake. Its main stream is on the north of Nancha of Shimen County, which is divided into three sources of north, middle and south, and takes the north source as the dominant one. The north source is coming from Shanmujie of Shimen County and finally flowing into West Dongting Lake. Its river basin area is 18583km2,and the length of river is 390km. Shimen County seat is located on the downstream of Lishui main stream, whose above river basin catchment area is 15133km2. There currently are two large scale water conservancy engineerings of Jiangya and Yutan on the upper stream of Shimen. At the same time, Zaoshi Reservoir is on progress. The surface relief of Dongcheng District and Baofeng District in Shimen County seat district is relatively low and the complete protection circle has currently not been formed, resulting in bad flood control capacity. The status quo current population of Shimen County seat district is 0.1316 million (including floating population) and the built seat district area is 5.2km2. Based on the overall planning of Shimen County (Revised), the population scale of Shimen County in the near future (2010) is 0.16 million, and the city construction land using scale is 16.8km2. And, the population scale of Shimen County city in the far future (2020) is 0.25 million, and the city construction land using scale is 25km2. The flood control planning scope is consistent with the overall planning of Shimen County city, whose scope is the built city district and planning development city district. For the north bank of Lishui, it is from Dingjiaping to Shengjiaxi, via Yanjiaba; for the south bank of Lishui, it is from Xinjiekou to Shimen Bridge of Lishui. According to topography, river system and city development planning, the protection area can be approximately divided into three protection circles, i.e., the Dongcheng and Baofeng Protection Circles, and the built old seat district protection circle (which will be combined with the new part). The total area of flood control protection circle is 28.5km2. There are two main targets for Shimen County subprojects, i.e., the first one is to protect Shimen County seat district from the threatening of flood, and the second one is to enhance the flood management of Lishui River Basin. The latter is the important components of integrated flood control management system in Hunan Province. The main contents of Shimen County subproject includes: (i)To newly build earth dyke of 7.63km,among them, the Dongcheng District Protection Circle of 1.90km,and Baofeng District Protection Circle of 5.73km. 5 EMDP of Shimen Subproject Shimen County PMO (ii)To heighten and thicken the dyke of 9.41km,among them, the earth dyke of 7.8km,and flood wall of 1.61km. (iii)The dyke bank prevention and protection of 14.8km,and riprap protection of banket 0.4km. (iv)To newly build 9 culverts. (v)To newly build 1 pump station with 3 sets of 555kw. (vi)To newly build 1 flood divert channel with the length of 3.97km. (vii)To treat 2 water discharging channel with the total length of 3.77km. (viii)To construct flood control commanding system and dispose necessary management measures. According to the preliminary design, the total investment for Shimen subproject is CNY 115.82 million, out of which, 33 percent would be financed by ADB loan. B. Ethnic Minorities in Hunan There are as many as 55 ethnic minority groups1 in Hunan making up a population of 8.33 million or 12.2% of Hunan‟s total population. There is one autonomous prefecture of ethnic minority in Hunan, which administrates 8 counties, 7 minority autonomous counties with more than 50% of the populating as minorities and 2 unofficial minority counties enjoying minority county
