Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Brief Description of the Project

Urumqi is the capital of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. For a long time, because of the terrain limitation, the Urumqi urban transport is blocked from north to south and crowded from west to east; a large quantity of. long distance and quick transport is not available, and the across-boundary transport is difficult; the density of the traffic is uneven in which the south- west and the south-east part is comparatively denser and the north-east part is comparatively thinner so that it is hard to drive to the north-east district and quite a long way to make a detour; the trunk road network is low in technique and poor in transport capacity. The existing transport infrastructures can't accommodate the need for urban development. so improving the Urumqi urban transport constitute a task which brooks no delay. The proposed Urumqi Urban Transport Improvement Project will make the traffic smooth by extending the road network and improving the traffic management so as to increase road network transport ability. The Urumqi Urban Transport Improvement Project consists of five components:

* Road Network Development * Traffic Management and Road Safety * Public Transport * Environment Protection and Improvement * Urban Transport System Management

Among these components, only the Road Network Development Component will involve certain amount of land acquisition and resettlement. The Road Network Development Component is designed specially to link old CBD to

1 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 1 new development areas of the city, to protect the CBD from extraneous traffic, and to distribute regional traffic to the urban trunk road network. The Project will include the construction of a 30.66-km high-capacity urban ring road based of existing road structures, and improvements of a number of connecting roads in the central city of Urumqi.

According to the new alternative (design option 4). The western ring (Western Transition Road), the southern ring (Xishan Road. Baoshan Road, Qiantangjiang Road), and the eastern ring (Tuanjie Road, Jinyin Street, Donghuan Road, Wuxing Road, Qidaowan Road) of the outer ring road will. be designed to use the standards of the urban expressway, and the design vehicle speed is 80 km/h. And the northern ring (the planned Xinvi Road, Nanhu Road, Suzhou Road, Altav Road) of the outer ring road will be designed to used the standards of the urban principal trunk. and the design vehicle speed is 60 km/h.

The total length of the whole route will be about 30.66 km. in which about 8.55km for the overhead roads, about 0.373km for tunnel, about 10.169km for the surface expressway, about 10.568km for the urban principal trunk. The length of the built Qiantangjiang Road interchange and Suzhou Road interchange is about 1.0km.

The techno-economic feasibility study for the Project was jointly prepared by the Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design Institute and the Xinjiang Highway Prospecting Design Institute, and the report was submitted in April 1999.

Since the Project involves the expansion of the existing right of way, certain amount of land acquisition and resettlement will be required. Following the World Bank requirements, a feasible Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) will be

2 RAP for the UrumqiUrban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 1

needed for the Project before the World Bank decides whether or not to finance the Project.. The RAP of the Project is strictly prepared in accordance with both the requirement for the Involuntary Resettlement from the World Bank and the related requirements of all the Aide-memoire for the Project from the World Bank.

1.2 Methods taken in the RAP preparation

1. Collect all related documents of the Project include: 1) The World Bank Memorandums of the Project. 2) The documents of relevant administrative departments of the State and local Governments. 3) The Feasibilitv Study Report for the Project.

2. Collect local relevant laws and regulations on resettlement and land acquisition,

3. During the 'investigating the affected people and assets. a door-to-door 100% field survey on the affected households, villager groups and units has been conducted. The results of the survey have been put in the database.

4. Several options for resettlement and compensation have been worked out in accordance with data collected in the field survey on the affected households, villager groups and units.

5. Different approaches for alleviating the physical or economic losses have been explored with the affected people in order to minimize the negative impacts on PAPs.

6. Extensive consultation with PAPs and affected units has been conducted

3 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 1

through various forms of coordination meetings or visits in order to optimize the plan for resettlement and rehabilitation.

7. Based on these discussion, the resettlement policy and compensation standards for the project were determined after the Project Resettlement Leading Group (PRLG) had convened conferences to discuss the details of the plan, which was the basis for finalizing the cost estimate for the land acquisition and resettlement for the Project.

8. In accordance with the policies and guidelines of the Chinese Government and applicable World Bank Group policies, specifically OD 4.30 (on involuntary resettlement), the RAP was compiled.

Chapter 2 Objective of the Resettlement

2.1 Avoidance and Minimization of Involuntary Resettlement

The World Bank's policy requires that all viable alternative project designs has been explored to avoid the need for involuntary resettlement. Following the policy, the Project owner and the departments concerned have used all kind of methods in minimizing the land acquisition and resettlement and reducing the negative impacts on the cultivated land, housing and units. The measures are as follows:

.1. Throughout the period of the project planning and project design, a great deal of efforts have been made by the Project authority and the design teams in order to minimize land requisition and building demolition. Such efforts even continue into the stage of detail project design and resettlement preparation.

2. During the project implementation, further efforts, such as adjustment of alignment, technological innovation and strengthening the management of construction, can be made to further reduce the negative impacts on the affected area.

3. For those impacts (land requisition and building demolition) cannot be avoided, following the RAP, a series of measures will be taken to ensure full rehabilitation or reconstruction for the affected residents, units, and infrastructure facilities.

Take a four-story brick concrete building in the Altay Road Section of the Project for example. The building belongs to Huateng Company. According to the old design drawings, the side-line of the requisition land will occupy the

5 RAP for the UrumqiUrban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 2

whole land area of this building. Even more, next to the building there are quite a few two or three story buildings which are also affected. However, for the principle of minimizing land acquisition and relocation, the design unit has made some adjustment on the alignment. On the other side of road. there are still some open ground. So the routine of this section has been moved to the opposite side about 10 meters so that the four-story brick concrete building and other neighboring buildings can be prevented from demolishment.

2.2 The Objective of the Resettlement Program

The main objective of the resettlement program is to ensure that the production levels. income-earning capacity and the living standards. of the Project-affected persons (PAPs) are improved. or at least restored to the levels thev would have had without the Project.

Therefore. a series of measures will be taken to safeguard the entitlements of the affected people:

1. Ensure that all PAPs, including those on urban state-owned land, receive compensation at replacement cost for lost assets due to the Project, and are well resettled and rehabilitated so that they can share the benefits of the Project:

2. Special care will be taken for the vulnerable groups (including the poor households, the households having the disabled members, the households headed by the women and the households where the aged live alone), such as assistance in building and moving into their new houses;

3. Provide full compensation at replacement cost for the land acquisition to

6 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 2

the collective. The compensation will be used to increase the productive capacity of the collective:

4. Help those whose houses are relocated select their new sites and build their new houses. and make them harmonize with the new environment as soon as possible;

5. Compensate the affected units and enterprises for their loss at replacement cost: Provide those which need to be relocated with suitable alternative locations to continue their business:

6. Affected infrastructures or community service institutions will be restored or replaced:

7. The implementation of the land acquisition and resettlement will be monitored and evaluated (M&E) by the independent monitoring institute. The representatives of the PAPs will participate in the resettlement and the PAPs have avenues for redressing their grievances.

8. Persons identified as affected by the project are not to be denied compensation or alternative forms of assistance because thev legal title or permits.

Chapter 3 Affected Dimension of the Resettlement

Section One Brief Account

3.1 Brief account of the census of the affected people and assets

In order to have a correct and full picture of the resettlement impacts caused by the project, before compiling the RAP, the Project Resettlement Office made arrangements for conducting a comprehensive census on the affected people and lost assets.

The preparation for the census was done meticulously: which includes working out the explicit investigating plans; designing all the survey tables; training the investigators; making the contacts in advance with the governments and the relevant agencies in the affected areas; conducting the trial survey on site to verify the survev tables and demonstrating the investigators how to do it. The whole investigating team is composed of the relevant personnel from the Project Resettlement Office, the District/County Resettlement Office, the municipal construction, land administration and planning departments of the local government, the township/subdistrict government and the villager administrative committees. The following is a summary based on the detailed survey results.

In the Road Network Development Component, except the outer ring road, another 2 connected roads will be involved, which are the Hleilongjiang Road(O.6 km) and the Tuanjie Road (2 km). Following the investigation, both the two roads belong to road reconstruction and will not involve land acquisition and demolition. Therefore, the Resettlement Action Plan for the

8 RAP for the UrumqiUrban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 3

Urumqi Urban Transport Improvement Project only includes the content of the outer ring road.

The revised RAP is up to date following changes in project design. particularly including for relocation the 12 households between the area of tunnel emergence and the existing railway line, who are directly affected by the Project according to the new design. The revised RAP also counts in the costs associated with all the changes.

3.2 The Required Land for the Project

The required total land area for the proposed road is 2523 mu, including the existing highwav right-of-way of 2013 mu. and required new land use of 510 mu. Of the total required new land for construction purpose, 197.5 mu of land area belongs to the rural range, and 312.5 mu belongs to the urban range. Since all urban land in China is owned bv the state, the Project, as a state urban construction project, could be allocated with urban land use right without paving land compensation. However, for those affected households and work units on the acquired urban land. they will be provided with building compensation, replacement structures or alternative site for reconstruction. In fact, full replacement value compensation will be paid to all demolished buildings and other attached properties, regardless they are located in the newly acquired land, or within the existing right of way.

Because the urban land is the state-owned land, the Project can use it unconditionally through the method of transfer as urban construction. Therefore, there will not be detailed discussion on the urban state-owned land in the RAP. For the information about the Project required land, please refer to the following table.

3.9 The affected ethnic minoritY population

According to the investigation, a total of 1196 minoritv individuals will be affected, accounting for 31.9% of the total number of affected residents. Mlost of affected minority residents are located in three districts: Sayban. Shuimogou and Tianshan with share of affected residents being 48.7% in Savban. 36.3% in Shuimogou, and 21.0% in Tianshan. There are two areas along the proposed ring road with relatively concentrated minority people, which include Yamalike Mountain in Sayban District, and Liudaowan Coal Mine in Shuimogou District. The Project will also affect a total of 819 minority emplovees, accounting for 14.9% of total affected employees. For detail information, please refer to the followingtable:

Among the affected ethnic minorities bv the Project. most of them are the Uv-ur Nationality and the Hui Nationality. The Uygur Nationality is the principal nationality in the Xinjiang Uvgur Autonomous Region and it has its own language and words. The Hui Nationality uses the Chinese language and words. Most of the Uygur Nationality and the Hui Nationality people believe in the Islam and they have their own nationality's customs in food, clothing, festival and so on which is fully respected by the Han Nationality and other nationalities.

During the investigation, the ethnic minority people by the Project, accounting for one third of total affected residents, have put forward some requirements based on their actual situation. Among them, two requirements are directly related with their nationality custom and religious practice, which include: avoid or minimize resettlement impacts on religious facilities, and

23 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 3

consider the religious needs when arrange resettlement housing for the relatively concentrated minority areas. Those two requirements have been carefullv considered in the current RAP. For details, see Section 6.6.

In addition. the affected minoritv people have also made other requirements. such as inform them as early as possible before resettlement implementation; provide them with adequate compensation: deliver compensation to them timelv: and provide them with replacement housing or commercial space following local laws and regulations. Since these requirements are also quite similar as those put forward by Han Nationality, they will be addressed by adopted resettlement policv and rehabilitation measures for the Project. No special measures will be adopted for affected minority people on these requirements.

3.10 Other socio-economic impact

According to the result of the socio-economic survey, the PAPs generally express their support to the Project (the support rate is 95.3%), meanwhile. the PAPs also put forward their requirements on compensation at the original price, construction in another place after demolishment. rearrange residence and operation place, etc according to their respective actual situation. When formulating the Project compensation policies and resettlement rehabilitation plan, the PAPs' rational requirements have been fully considered.

The land acquisition and resettlement of the Project will have certain impacts on the career, education, living conditions, life style, cultural activities of the PAPs. However. through the efforts of compensation and rehabilitation. overall, such impacts will be positive for the PAPs.

Because of the little influence of the land acquisition of the Project on the

24 RAP for the UrumqiUrban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 3 local average cultivated land per agricultural person, the resettlement problem of the affected population will be solved by the method of cultivated land redistribution. In general, the construction of the Project will promote economic development along the road especially in the business and service industry, and provide local people with new job opportunities; More contact with the outside will widen horizons of the people in the affected areas, The PAPs' housing conditions will also be improved to certain extent.

Through the 24 non-license households sampled in the Sayban District, the Project impacts on the affected households, especially on the non-license households, can be found out. These non-license households have lived in the Yamalike Mountain, Sayban District for over 18 years on average. Most of them belong to the ethnic minority households and their living condition is poor, therefore, they hope to improve their living condition through relocation. Most of them are satisfied with the resettlement plot. For more detailed information, please refer to the following table;

4.1 Brief account

The RAP for the Project is prepared in accordance with the laws and regulations of China, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Urumqi Municipality as well as the World Bank's policy on Involuntary Resettlement. The resettlement implementation of the Project will be based on the specific provisions of the RAP agreed between the World Bank and the Project owner. If there is any reduction in compensation rates, or any changes in criteria used to determine eligibility for compensation and assistance, the Project owner will discuss and seek agreement with the World Bank.

Policies on land acquisition and resettlement are formulated at three levels of government in China:

* The central government has established the basic policy framework tbrough promulgation of national regulations and implementation guidelines;

* Provincial governments have issued either general or project-specific regulations on implementation of national regulations;

* Prefectures, municipalities and counties have issued regulations applying to specific projects.

4.2 The national Laws and Regulations

41 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 4

China has well-developed laws, regulations and procedures for land acquisition and resettlement for the construction projects. The key obligations with respect to it are established by "the Law of Land Administration of the People's Republic of China". The following laws and regulations comprise the key national policies on land acquisition and resettlement:

1. The Law of Land Administration of the People's Republic of China (passed by the 16th session of the 6th National Congress in June 1986, revised first by the 5th session of the 7th National Congress in December 1988, revised second by the 4th session of the 9th National Congress in August 1998 and coming into force from January 1, 1999), Implementation Regulations of Land law (coming into force from January 1, 1999).

Ownership and Right of Use of Land

Article 8 Land in the urban districts shall be owned by the State. Land in the rural areas and suburban areas, except otherwise provided for by the State, shall be collectively owned by farmers; land for building houses, land and hills allowed to be retained by farmers shall be collectively owned by farmers.

Article 9 Land owned by the State and land collectively owned by farmers may be allocated to be used by units or individuals according to law. Units or individuals using land shall be responsible for the protection, management and a rational use of the land.

Article 12 Any change in ownership or the right to use land, should go through the land alteration registration procedures.

42 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 4

Land for Construction Purposes

Article 43 Any unit or individual that need land for construction purposes should apply for the use of land owned by the State according to law; The term "apply for the use of land owned by the State according to law" refers to land owned by the State and also land originally owned by peasant collectives but having been acquired by the State.

Article 45 The State Council shall approve acquisition of the following land: 1. Basic farmland; 2. Land exceeding 35 hectares (1 hectare = 15 mu); 3. Other land exceeding 70 hectares. The people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have the authority to approve acquisition of land other than prescribed in the preceding paragraph and shall submit it to the State Council for the record.

Article 47 In acquisition of land, compensation should be made according to the original purposes of the land acquired. Compensation fees for land acquired include land compensation, resettlement subsidy and compensation for ground attachments to and standing crops on the land. The compensation fee for cultivated land should be 6-10 times the average annual production value during the three years prior to acquisition. The resettlement subsidy shall be calculated according to the number of agriculture population to be resettled. The number of the agricultural population to be resettled shall be calculated by dividing the area of the acquired cultivated land by the average per capita land holdings of the unit prior to the land acquisition. The amount of the resettlement subsidy is to be determined on a per capita basis and should be 4-6 times the average annual output value during three years prior to land acquisition. However, the

43 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 4 amount of the resettlement subsidy should not exceed 15 times the average annual value of the produce. In reference to the land compensation and resettlement subsidy for cultivated land acquired, the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities should establish the compensation rates for other types of land. The provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities should determine the compensation rates for ground attachments and standing crops. In acquisition of vegetable fields in suburban areas, the units using the land should pay new vegetable field development and construction fund. Whereas the land compensation and resettlement subsidy paid according to the provisions of the second paragraph of this article are not enough to maintain the original living standards, the resettlement subsidy may be increased with the approval of the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. But the combined amount of the land compensation and resettlement subsidy should not exceed 30 times the average annual production value during three years prior to land acquisition.

Article 48 After the plan for land compensation and resettlement subsidy is finalized, related local people's government shall make an announcement and hear the opinions of the rural collective economic organizations and peasants whose land has been acquired.

Article 49 Rural collective economic organizations shall make public to its members the receipts and expenditures of the land compensation fees for land acquires and accept their supervision. It is forbidden to embezzle or divert the land compensation and other related expenses.

In addition, they will be subsidized properly by difference for the replacement value of lost structures, and use right of rental apartment, which is set at 50% of replacement value for the lost structures. According to the survey, there are a large mosque (Tiexi Mosque) in the same neighborhood, with only 300 meters distance from the proposed housing site, which can meet the religious needs for those minority relocatees. Besides, an elementary school (Xuelian Elementary School) is located next block which could provide bilingual education for those school-age children.

For the other urban private houses, the method of providing them with purchased low-profit resettlement houses nearby will be adopted.

For the urban private houses of every year, except the 106 household private

63 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 6

houses without license in Sayban District, it's planed to purchase the resettlement houses from Guanghui Real Estate Company and Yinhe Real Estate Company.

For the residents renting private houses, they will be arranged to keep rental relationship with the original private owners and re-conclude the leasing agreement: In case the original private houses can't be rebuilt, they will be arranged to rent the houses with similar standards and rent in the neighboring area and be compensated for all the rental application fee.

6.2 Unit resettlement

6.2.1 Units using the self-owned houses

According to the impact category, the affected units and enterprises are divided into two types: the units and enterprises which are affected partially and need not to be relocated are of one type: those which need to be relocated belong to another type.

For the first type of units, since the project will only occupy a small portion in their total land area and total floor space. the resettlement will result in neither relocation nor production interruption of these units. They could rebuild their structures by moving backward within their land area, which could be done even before the old ones being demolished. Therefore, the units can self-adjust the process of resettlement internally and it will not caused operation interruptions. Their structures will be compensated according to the replacement value. No depreciation will apply to the calculation of the amount of compensation. Also, the value of the old materials which can still be used will not be included in the total amount compensation.

64 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 6

For the units and enterprises which need to be relocated (occupy 26.6% of the total demolished floor space of the units and enterprises),they will be redistributed the new unit-used land no less than the original land to construct the new houses. and the relocation site will be confirm after fully consultation with the affected units and enterprises. All the affected units will be compensated according to the replacement value. No depreciation will apply to the calculation of the amount of compensation. Also. the value of the old materials which can still be used will not be cut from the total amount compensation.

For the units and enterprises that don't ask for resettlement (replacement plot), they will receive cash compensation equal to two times the original houses replacement price in one time so that thev can purchase replacement space from the market or solve their space problem by themselves.

For those units that need to be relocated in 2000, the units in Urumqi County will be relocated to the site in No. 5 Villager Group near the ring road based on initial consultation with Jiujiawan Village. And the units in Sayban District will be relocated along Qingfeng Road, near Baoshan Road after preliminary consultation with Sayban District. Most affected units from Sayban District will be resettled along the two sides of Qingfeng Road, which is only 1 kilometer away from the proposed new housing site for those 106 relocated households in Yamalike Mountain. To place the relocated households and units nearby will be beneficial for solving the employment problem for the affected people. The detailed plan is as follows:

The resettlement of the following affected units and enterprises will refer to the method for 2000.

6.2.2 Units and enterprises using the rented houses

For the units and enterprises, which rent the public houses, they will be able to continue to lease the space, since the demolished public structures will be rebuilt after resettlement. In this case, they could maintain their original leasing agreement with property owners.

For those units and enterprises, which rent the private houses, they can continue to rent reconstruction houses, since these private houses can be reconstructed according to original purpose. In this case, they could maintain their original leasing agreement with property owners. In case these private houses will not be reconstructed according to original purpose, these units and

66 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 6

enterprises will be assigned new retail spaces at the county-run trade market near the project site and will be compensated for all their application fee.

6.3 Land acquisition

Because the Project impact to the rural collective cultivated land is comparatively small. the resettlement problem of the affected population will be solved bv the method of cultivated land redistribution and generous compensation. The left cultivated land after the every villager group will be redistributed within the whole villager group in order to resettle the affected agricultural population. Such arrangement can ensure that the cultivated land can be redistributed to the PAPs according to the principle of equality.

All the agricultural population affected the Project land acquisition will get economic resettlement and rehabilitation according to the agricultural method, therefore, the land compensation and resettlement subsidy to the villager groups will only be used to develop the collective economy and will not be applied to any other use. According to the characteristics of the affected areas of the Project. the application principle of this funds is as

follows:

1. Increase agricultural income from the remaining cultivated land by improving the irrigation facilities, seeds. and the planting modes, etc.;

2. Develop the capital construction of water, electricity, road, and forestry:

3. Open up wasteland and exploit the agriculture production potentialities in the non-cultivated and low-yield land;

4. Develop the second and the third industries related to agriculture so as to

67 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport Improvement Project Chapter 6

improve the production ability of the affected administrative villages.

The cultivated land of 11 mu of the No.2 Villager Group. Jiujiawan Village

will first be acquired in 2000. Because the impact to the cultivated land per

capita of the No.2 Villager Group. Jiujiawan Village, which is only 4.23%, the

resettlement problem will be solved according to the method of cultivated land

redistribution. The left land of 249 after land acquisition will be redistributed

within the whole villager group. On the basis of consulting with related

departments for agricultural people's income loss whose cultivated land is

acquired. the initial assume about using land compensation and resettlement

subsidy has arose.

and resettlement subsidy of RMB 396,000, which the No.2 Villager Group,

68 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 6

Jiujiawan Village can receive, RMIB 80850 is initially assumed to open up wasteland and enhance agricultural technology level. According to estimation. only these items can increase annual agricultural product RMB 16,500 per year. Therefore, such land acquisition arrangement will not have negative influence on the PAPs' income and livelihood.

The resettlement of the other villager groups will refer to the method of the No.2 Villager Group, Jiujiawan Village prior to the land acquisition.

6.4 Reconstruction and rehabilitation of the infrastructures

The affected infrastructures of the Project mainly include the water supply and drainage pipes, the gas pipes. the heat pipes, the electric wires and the communication wires. The affected infrastructures will be compensated at the replacement price, and minimize the relocation as little as possible. The infrastructures which really need to be relocated will be reconstructed or restored to its original functions as soon as possible. At the same time. reasonable new culverts, underpasses, pedestrian overpasses and other accesses will be built for the convenience of the PAPs' living and working.

6.5 Resettlement of the vulnerable groups

The vulnerable groups include the poor households (staff), the households having the disabled members (staff), the households headed by the women (staff), and the households where the aged (staff) live alone. The specific eligibility criteria for the vulnerable groups are defined as follows.

69 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 6

The following measures will be taken so as to ensure the rehabilitation of the living standards of the vulnerable groups after resettlement:

1. The governments of all levels (such as administrative villages, villager groups and so on ) will make everv effort to organize and provide labor force to help and support the vulnerable groups in building their new houses and relocating their households; 2. Give priority to satisfy the reasonable demands of the vulnerable groups. such as taking precedence of choosing the new housing sites and operation place; 3. Make the specific compensation or poverty subsidy payment, or reduce or remit their housing rental to the vulnerable groups in extraordinary difficulty according to the fact. Concrete implementation details will be developed by the Project owner during resettlement implementation based on actual situation among different road sections.

6.6 Resettlement of the ethnic minority

The Urumqi Municipality is a frontier capital city where lives multiple nationalities. Here, every nationality enjoys equal status and gets along with

70 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 6

each other verv well. About one third of Project-affected residents are minority people. During the investigation, the ethnic minority people by the Project, accounting for one third of total affected residents, have put forward some requirements based on their actual situation. Among them. two requirements are directly related with their nationalitY custom and religious practice, which include: avoid or minimize resettlement impacts on religious facilities, and consider the religious needs when arrange resettlement housing for the relatively concentrated minority areas. For the other requirements put forward bv the affected minorities. since they are the same as those put forward by Han Nationality. they will be addressed by adopted resettlement policv and rehabilitation measures for the Project. No special measures will be adopted for affected minoritv people on these requirements.

On the requirement of minimizing resettlement impacts on religious facilities. a great deal efforts have been made during the design stage in order to avoid any impacts on such facilities. (Such effort will even last at the construction drawings design stage and the Project construction period). In case such impacts could not be avoid, efforts will be made during resettlement in order to ensure restoration and improvement of the affected facilitv. Please see the following cases.

Because of the Project impact, the Lanzhou Temple will be relocated, which is located at the intersection of the Jinvin Street and the Yuejin Street in Tianshan District. The Lanzhou Temple is one of the earliest built Islamic temples in the Urumqi Municipality. It is initially located in Yonghe Lane, and it moved to the current site due to the planning and reconstruction of Yonghe Lane. The existing floor space of the temple is 611.33 sq.m and the land area is 233.25 sq.m. At present household number of the fellow believers who have religious service and other religious activities has reach about 600, including 500 households of Hui Nationality and 100 households of Uygur

71 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 6

Nationality. Because the existing land area is comparatively small and it can't meet the fellow believers' requirements on religious activities. It has been planned several time to extend the temple, but finally it hasn't come into force for various reasons.

When conducting the census and the socio-economic survey of the Project. all the council members and the fellow believers expressed their full support to the Project. After full consultation with the council members and the fellow believers of the Lanzhou Temple. it is decided to extend the Lanzhou Temple taking advantage of the relocation. The relocation site has been chosen in the intersection of the Yuejin Street and the Second Lane in the Erdaowan Road. and is agreeable to the mosque council. The land area of the new Lanzhou Temple will reach about 600 sq.m and the floor space will reach about 800 sq.m. Compensation will be paid and adequate time will be provided for a new mosque to be constructed before the old mosque is demolished. The relocation of the Lanzhou Temple will improve the local religious activity place and will benefit numerous local Islams.

During the Project feasibility stage. the road alignment will affect the minaret of Liudaowav Mosque. During preliminary design stage. the proposed ring road was moved slightlv in order to avoid such impacts. In order to further reduce the impact of the ring road. on the condition of meeting the requirements of pedestrian movement, the sidewalk along the Mosque was reduced from 4 meters to 2 meters. In addition, a separate exit will be added for the Mosque in order to improve the access to the Mosque.

For the Guangming Mosque on Yamalike Mountain, in the original design, the proposed ring road was only a few meters away from the front gate. In order to reduce the noise impact, following the request of local residents, the ring road was moved away another 5 meters, and elevation of the ring road was lowered by 6 meters. As a result, the height difference between the

72 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Chapter 6

Mosque and the ring road has been raised to 9 meters. In addition. the Project will widen the platform to 4 meters in the front gate and build railing along the platform in order to ensure the safety of local residents.

On the requirement of being close to religious facility for the concentrated resettlement site for the affected minorities, these are two resettlement housing areas with relatively concentrated minorities. One is Liudaowan Coal Mine resettlement site, which is near the existing Liudaowan Mosque. The other is resettlement site for the 106 households without proper titles or permits. There is a mosque - Tiexi Mosque. which is located only 300 meters away from the proposed resettlement site. As a result. this special requirement made by the affected minorities has also been solved.

6.6 Resettlement implementation content and schedule

In order to ensure all the PAPs will be resettled successfully before the Project construction, all the resettlement must be accomplished by at least one month prior to the Project construction.

Due to the subsection construction character, the implementation of the Project land acquisition and resettlement will be conducted yearly: before the starting construction of every year, the land acquisition and resettlement of the section must be accomplished.

Annex Minoritv Issues in Resettlement for Urumqi Urban Transport Improvement Project

Introduction

1. As its name indicates, the Urumqi Urban Transport Improvement Project (UUTIP) includes a set of activities to improve traffic and transport management in Urumqi, the capital city of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

2. Urumqi has an ethnically diverse population. While Uvgur, Hui Nationality, Kazaks, etc. constitute the majority of people in many areas of Xinjiang and in the region overall, they represent only about 27 percent of the Urumqi population. Uygur account for 12.7 percent of the city population, Hui Nationality account for 9.5 percent, Kazaks account for 3.19 percent, Man Nationality account for 0.54 percent, Mongols account for 0.4 percent, Xibe account for 0.21 percent, Russians account for 0.21 percent and Uzbeks account for 0.09 percent. Most of those people speak one or two languages.

3. UUTIP consists of five components: (1) road network development; (2) traffic management and road safety; (3) public transport; (4) environment protection and improvement; and (5) urban transport system management. Among them, only the road network development component involves land acquisition and resettlement, as described throughout the RAP. The purpose of this annex is to review resettlement impacts and mitigation measures as they relate to the affected minority nationality households.

4. As urban residents, members of minority nationalities will be affected by the project in much the same ways as Han Chinese residents. All ethnic groups are likely to benefit from traffic and public transport improvements. Conversely, adverse impacts associated with UUTIP affect individual members of various

104 RAP for the UrumqiUrban Transport ImprovementProject Annex

ethnic groups similarly. Because none of the minority nationalities are vulnerable to specific hardship, no ethnic group-specific measures are necessary to mitigate adverse impacts; hence, no separate minoritv development plan is required. All necessary mitigation and rehabilitation measures are provided in the RAP.

5. The RAP is drafted in accordance with the related laws and regulations issued by the People's Republic of China, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. and Urumqi Municipal Government, and the provisions from the World Bank Operational Directive on Involuntary Resettlement (OD 4.30). The purpose of the RAP is to develop an action plan for the project-affected people. to assist them in improving, or at least restoring, their incomes and living standards.

Resettlement Impact on Minority Nationalities

6. The development of a 31-kilometer urban ring road will affect Urumqi residents primarily through demolition of structures on land required for road use. According to the survey, 510 mu (34 hectares) of new land area will be required by the project. This includes acquisition of 197.5 mu rural land (about 13 hectares) of which 100.8 mu (about 7 hectares) is cultivated land, and transfer of 312.5 mu (about 21 hectares) of urban land use rights. Acquisition of cultivated land will directly affected 53 households (218 individuals). Structure demolition is expected to total 144,610 square meters, including 59.356 square meters of residential housing. 871 households (3,580 individuals) will need to be relocated. 835 enterprises or work units would be affected by non-residential demolition or loss of land, which will affect 5.495 employees. Among relocated households, 278 households or 31.9 percent belong to ethnic minority nationalities with 1,196 individuals. Among affected employees, 15 percent of them or 819 individuals are minority nationalities.

7. Most affected minority residents are concentrated in three districts, including Sayban District (154 households), Tianshan District (78 households) and Shuimogou District (33 households). The share of minority households among total relocated households will range from 48.7 percent in Sayban District,

105 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Annex

36.3 percent in Shuimogou District, to 21 percent in Tianshan District. In terms of affected minority employees, most of them (92 percent or 753 individuals) are also concentrated in these districts, with 376 persons in Sayban District, 304 persons in Tianshan District, and 73 persons in Shuimogou District.

Issues of Concern to Minority Nationality Households

8. Under UUTIP, most affected minorities belong to' Uygur and Hui nationalities. The Uygur nationality is the principal nationality in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and has its own language. The Hui nationality uses Chinese language. The great majority of members of both of these groups follow customs of Muslim religion, which is fully respected by the Han nationality and other nationalities. Resettlement planning results indicate that no minority group is specifically affected. Nevertheless. two kinds of resettlement-related impacts were identified as ethnicallv or culturally sensitive: impacts on religious facilities. and relocation of unregistered residents, many of whom are members of minority nationalities. In fact, to avoid demolition of religious facilities and to ensure that resettlement housing is reasonably close to religious facilities were two prominent concerns voiced bv the affected minority households during resettlement consultations.

9. The physical work associated with ring road improvement would require demolition of one mosque. At present, the Lanzhou Mosque is housed in a former commercial structure of no major cultural or architectural significance. It occupies 233 square meters of land area with 611 square meters of floor space. In consultation with the mosque council, a relocation site has been identified with 600 square meters of land, and compensation will be sufficient to build an improved structure. Mosque leaders have indicated that they are pleased with the relocation site (which they themselves identified) and with the prospect for a more modern facility. Additionally, changes were made in the project design to avoid demolition of a minaret at another mosque and to avoid disrupting access to a third mosque.

106 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Annex

10. The project will affect 193 households lacking legal residency status. RAP policy terms require equitable treatment of unregistered residents, regardless of ethnicity. An area to be significantly affected by tunneling and road improvement is near Yamalike Mountain in Sayban District, inhabited primarily bv unregistered members of minoritv groups. Following consultations with affected residents, a scheme to provide replacement housing with modern services and improved public facilities under highly subsidized terms has been devised, which will greatly improve the living condition for the resettlers. According to the survev. currently most resettlers live in earth-wood structures, 96 percent of households without running water. No household has private bathroom. Residents have indicated that they are satisfied with resettlement arrangements.

Legal Framework and Compensation Standards

I1. The legal basis for land acquisition and resettlement includes national. provincial and local laws or regulations. Relevant national laws or regulations include "Land Administration Law" (1998), "City Planning Law" (1990), and "The Administrative Regulation on Urban Building Demolition and Relocation" (1991). The local implementation measures include The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Implementation Regulation of the Sate Land Administration Law" (1989, the latest version is still in discussion): "the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Implementation Regulation on City Planning Law" (1991), and "the Urumqi Municipality Administration Regulation on Urban Building Demolition" (1995). Based on analysis of replacement value of lost assets, a set of compensation standards has been adopted for UUTIP, which will be applied equally for both Han Chinese and ethnic minority nationalities.

Resettlement and Rebuilding Plan

12. Because UUTIP is situated primarily in an urban area, major project-related impacts are associated with structural demolition, meaning that major mitigation

107 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport Improvement Project Annex measures are associated with relocation. No one is expected to lose employment permanently in urban area affected by the project, so rehabilitation efforts are focused primarily upon relative few households affected by acquisition of cultivated land. Only a small area of the ring road will involve land acquisition, as most of the ring road alignment is in urban areas. The area affected by acquisition of cultivated land is inhabited primarily by Han. As is common in China, all of those losing land will be accommodated through collective land redistribution. The affected villages will use compensation to identify and pursue productive investment opportunities. Initial investment plans made by affected collectives emphasize agricultural intensification and bring wasteland into production.

13. Relocating rural households will be given house compensation at replacement cost with no depreciation and salvageable materials will belong to them. They also will be provided with alternative housing plots by their villages. Relocating urban households living in public rental units will be provided with replacement rental housing units of similar size and improved qualitv. Urban private house owners will be provided with three options, including replacement housing with ownership right, full compensation rate for lost housing plus the right to rent replacement housing at low rates. or double the compensation rate for lost housing if the affected household accepts. full responsibility for its own relocation. Those renting private houses can continue lease agreement with their current landlord after resettlement, or the project will assist them in locating another place. The project will provide them moving assistance and subsidy for temporary transfer that will be applied to all affected households. In addition to these provisions, for affected minority nationalities, the availability of religious facilities will be considered in selecting new housing sites for resettlement.

14. For employees of affected enterprises, members of minority nationalities will be treated the same as Han employees. No employees will lose employment, and all affected employees are eligible for temporary wage maintenance for the period in which enterprises cannot function due to relocation or other project-related disruptions.

108 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Annex

Institutional Arrangements

15. Implementation responsibilities are shared between the UUTIP Project Executive Office (PEO) and the local district (county) governments. In order to facilitate resettlement implementation. the district resettlement offices include staff from different minority nationalities, who can speak minority languages and are familiar with their customs.

Consultation and Participation

16. In the course of resettlement planning, municipal officials and project design staff have consulted with potentially affected people, including minority nationalities. to identify impacts and to solicit preferences regarding mitigation measures. These consultations occurred in various areas to be affected bv the project, and were conducted in both Han Chinese and Uygur languages. The consultation process contributed to minimization of impacts and identification of remedial alternatives acceptable to the affected people. In Sayban District for example, discussions with a mostly minority community in the Yamalile area encouraged the project officials to provide a nearby replacement housing site with improved public facilities.

17. To ensure that affected people are adequately informed, a number of public hearings have been held; resettlement related information has been published in local newspapers, and resettlement information booklets have been, or will be, distributed in affected areas. The RAP has been made available in at local district and county resettlement offices. The information booklets are available in Uygur and Chinese.

Monitoring and Evaluation

18. Resettlement implementation will be subject to both internal and external monitoring. The PRO will be responsible for submitting internal project reports

109 RAP for the Urumqi Urban Transport ImprovementProject Annex to the Bank every six months. A team independent of the project owner will conduct external monitoring, and will submit external monitoring reports to the Bank every six months. Among other topics, monitoring reports will focus on specific resettlement issues relating to the affected members of minority nationalities. Additionally. the external monitoring team will include members of minority nationalities, or staff who can speak nationality languages and who are familiar with minority nationalitv customs.
