Project Introduction and Background S 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 Project Objective The purpose of the Yangtze Dike Strengthening Project (YDSP) is to upgrade and strengthen the dike system which protects the peoples and properties, in the provinces of Hubei and Hunan, so the system will be-able to manage river flood flows of the magnitude of the 1954 flood. This project will require a significant component for resettlement of a considerable number of people. The purpose of the present report is to describe the proposed Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) which will accomplish the needed resettlement and at the same time provide opportunities for improvement of resettler livelihood conditions, in a cost effective and efficient marner which meets the resettlement requirement of both the Government and the World B3ank(WB). 1.1.2 RAP Task The RAP described here represents the integration of two separate RAPs, one for each participating province, prepared by the relevant provincial planning institutes (PPIs) in each province [Ref 1,2]. The integration of the two plans into a comprehensive project resettlement plan has been carried out by the Hunan Water Conservancy and Hydropower Survey and Design Institute (HnPPI), with the assistance of the Hubei Water Conservancy and Hydropower Survey and Design Institute (HbPPI), and a team of consultants furnished by the World Bank. 1.1.3 Report Components The overall report composes two parts: Part A: This comprehensive YDSP RAP Part B: Photos and Maps: containing photos and drawings which support Part A 1.2 Project Area Description 1.2.1 Natural Conditions in the Project Area The Yangtze River, 6,300 km in length, with its basin covering 1.80 million, is the biggest river in China (see Part B Figure 1), annually discharging 960 billion m3 of water into the East China Sea. The Yangtze basin covers the East, Central and Southwest China, with the project area located in the plain areas of the middle and lower reaches, characterized by a subtropical monsoon wet climate. Temperature in the project area is moderate with abundant sunshine and rainfall. Annual mean temperatures range from 16.5-17.5°C with a minimum of-18.9°C, and maximum of 40.3°C. Mean annual rainfall ranges from 1,300-1,600 mm, unevenly distributed within a year, with 40-50% of rainfall is concentrated in a few months. 1.2.2 Population Of the 13.29 million total population of the project area, approxirnately 55% live in rural areas, drawing their primary income from agriculture (Table 1-2). The per capita annual income in the projects' rural areas is approximately 2,156 yuan, 1-1 YDSP - REVISED FINAL RAP CHAPTER 1: PROJECT BACKGROUND compared with 5,531 in urban areas. Average household size varies marginally from 4.2 to 4.3. Further discussion of the demographic and economic status of the project area is given in Section 1.7.5. 1.2.3 Economic Status The plain area along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze are the "life blood" of the Yangtze valley. The project area is part of the main national commodity grain, cotton and oil production base, and also a significant national industrial centre, including the Wuhan Steel Works, which occupies a very important position in the national economy. The total industrial and agricultural production value in the Project Area in 1997 is 176.084 billion yuan (respectively Hunan 16.984 billion and Hubei 159.1 billion). This gross output value of industry and agriculture accounts for approximately 40% of the nation's total, making the basin one of the most economically developed and important regions of China. Wuhan City it is one of the four largest economic centers of the Yangtze Valley,while Yueyang is one of the key cites in Hunan Province. 1.2.4 Flooding in the Project Area Flooding is frequent in the Yangtze River Basin. Flood disasters are usually widely distributed in the basin, especially the 126,000 km2 of plains in the middle and lower basins which frequently suffer from serious flood and waterlogging damages as the ground elevations there are commonly several to more than 10 meters lower than the flood water levels. These flood disasters occur with the frequency of once
