iii General Report on Migrant Resettlement Plan
Purpose of Resettlement Action Plan and Definition of Resettlement Terms
Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is made according to relative State and local laws and regulations of People’s Republic of China and a series of articles or clauses in the World Bank Operational Polices for Involuntary Resettlement OP4.12. The purpose of the document is to “formulate an action plan for the resettlement and recovery of project affected persons to ensure that they will benefit from the project and enjoy a better life or to at least maintain their former life standards after the accomplishment of the project.” The acquisition of land and other properties involved in the projects will affect those who work or live on the land. The Project Affected Persons (PAPs) is defined as following: The so-called Project Affected Persons refers to those whose living standards have been or will be influenced negatively because of the implementation of the project, or those whose house ownership, rights or interests, land (including house site, farmland and pasture) or other personal estate or real estate have been acquired or occupied temporally or for a long time; or those whose business, profession, work, residence or habit have been affected negatively. The Affected may be individuals or legal persons like corporations or public agencies. In the definition of the Project Affected Persons, no restriction is posed on their lawful registration, permit for life or business scope in the affected area, nor is the compensation for their properties restricted. The affected persons include: (1) All the affected persons regardless their lawful rights, interests, and their presence during acquisition of their properties. (2) Those with no residence permit in particular districts. Compensation should be conducted to all the persons affected by the Project to improve or at least maintain their living standards. Besides, compensation should be conducted for the lost properties by their replacement cost, rather than by depreciation or other excuses resulting in the decrease or discount of compensation amount. All those affected by the Project should gain rights and interests from the influence of the project. Furthermore, besides compensation on the loss of their properties, subsidy should be granted for their recovery. With regards to those persons
i who run businesses, reclaim land, or construct without permit of properties, rights and interests, or legal residence but are affected by the Project, they should be treated the same as those with formal legal properties, rights and interests, and permits, and they are qualified to renew their lives and gain compensation for properties. Definition to “Resettlement” Resettlement refers to the arrangement for the PAPs in terms of production and lives for their benefits from the project. It mainly includes: (1) Relocation of living sites; (2) Reemployment of those affected in terms of their work; (3) Recovery (or compensation) for the affected land, working place, trees and infrastructure, etc. (4)Recovery work conducted for those negatively affected in terms of their living standards or (life quality) because of acquisition and resettlement. (5) Recovery or compensation for individuals or public enterprises; (6) Recovery for the negative influence in terms of culture or collective properties. Definition for “Recovery” Recovery means to renew the abilities of PAPs to continue their productivities or to lift or at least maintain their lives to the level prior to the Project. The purpose of the RAP is to provide a resettlement recovery plan for the PAPs to make their loss compensated and their living standards improved or at least maintained to the level prior to the Project. To achieve this goal, recovery measurements have been provided in the plan to recover the income of the PAPs for them to sustain their life. Likewise, the affected business and productive resources (including shops and enterprises), public properties, infrastructure and cultural properties will also be improved or at least recovered to the previous level.

1.4 Measures to reduce migrants
Xi’an Urban Comprehensive Transport Improvement Project involves 6 big sub- projects, each of which includes many branch projects. In the designing process, the relevant designing units optimize and compare various plans, and on condition of meeting the need of the project, try to choose the plan with minimal migrants so as to fundamentally reduce the amount of migrants. In order to occupy less farmland, roads, interchanges and other occupied land, larger servicing facilities are designed trying to avoid the farmland and the residential area. At the same time, by optimizing the implementing design, limiting the time of project and reasonably arrange time intervals of demolition and construction, we can reduce the migrants property loss as far as possible. For example, the house demolition and relocation and the reconstruction are generally arranged in the free season and the land utilization generally after the harvests.
1.5 Policy Goals of this report
z Take engineering, technological and economic measures to avoid or reduce the amount of land acquisition, house demolition, migrants and objects; when the land acquisition and house demolition is unavoidable, take effective measures to reduce the impact on the local production and life. z Make demolition & relocation object index and economic subsidy standard the base for the migrants resettlement, aimed to improve or at least restore the migrants production and life to the previous level. z Promote technology and skill training for the jobless and hard-living migrants and provide plentiful job opportunities. z Encourage the migrants and the residents in the resettlement area to take part in the program of removal and resettlement. z Accept the labor of the migrants and the residents in the resettlement area, encourage them to take part in the construction and make them enjoy the benefits of the project.

2.9 The affected weak group
It is investigated on the spot that there hasn’t been any weak group found at this stage which need special support. However, to take into account the potential natural disaster and other unpredictable factors, 20% of the removal households are temporarily taken as the weak group and are to be supported with proper subsidy. The actually affected weak group will be further confirmed by analyzing and comparing the data offered by the local administrative department. Off course, the self objective condition such as the family member structure, the labour force employment and the family resources are also considered. Once some affected families are confirmed as the weak group, they will be offered special help during the progress of the removal and resettlement. For example, they will be offered proper favour and care on the house building, resource allocation, e.t c.

And the compensation fee of over-ground attachments and young crops shall be given to their owners, but the young crops compensation will not be given to whose land without young crops. 2 The compensation fee for farmland acquisition shall be paid as many as nine times of annual average production value of the previous three years. Land compensation belongs to the village collective organization, therefore should be given directly to the committee of villagers to be used to develop production and restore the economic condition of the people who are affected. 3 The relocation subsidy for farmland acquisition shall be calculated by six times of annual average production value of the land. Resettlement allowance is given to the committee of villagers or the villager groups which are affected. 4 If the land compensation and resettlement subsidy based on the previous article cannot make the villagers required settling remain their original living standard, more compensation can be added with the approval of the provincial people’s government, but the total amount cannot surpass thirty times of the average annual production value of the land prior to the land acquisition.
3.5.2 Principles of migrants resettlement for land acquisition
1 For the villagers whose production and living mostly depends on farmland losing the most land owing to demolition & relocation and land acquisition can choose changing from peasant to non-peasant voluntarily. Their registered permanent residence can change to city residents and will be brought into city social insurance.
15 General Report on Migrant Resettlement Plan
They can also be protected by low income protection policy and be resettled by government to take up an occupation in an enterprise in town. Or these peasants can set up village enterprise, agriculture byproducts processing factory, etc. In addition, they can undertake the third-industry after training, for example restaurant, business, repairing, transportation, production service (such as agricultural products providing), living service (such as hairdressing, housework, removing, etc). For the villages possessing of land can make other choices according to the will of migrants. The government can admeasure them farmland with considerable acreage and fertility to help them renew production, adjust planting configuration, increase production value of farmland and improve living standard finally. 2 For the villager whose production and living does not depend on land losing most of their land because of demolition & relocation and land acquisition can choose to non-peasant either. They will have work position in village enterprise arranged by town government or undertake the third industry after training, for example restaurant, business, repairing, service, etc. For the people who want to leave to find a job outside the village government can provide them employment training, agricultural skill training and labour force supply and need information according to the need. 3 For the peasant losing a few of land owing to demolition government will help them adjust industry configuration combined with socialism new country construction and “one village one products” development. Adjust planting structure and variety structure according to market and local layout. Confirm a certain main products and drive industrialization step by step. Realize the improving of peasants’ living standard through strengthen “one village one products”. 4 All labour force influenced by the project will be relocated appropriately.
3.5.3 Principle on resettlement for rural relocated residents
As for the rural houses affected by the Project, two ways are adopted to undertake relocation work based on intention of affected peasant households: 1 Monetary compensation Compensation shall be paid in terms of replacement cost. See details of compensation Policy in related laws ,regulations ,and compensation standards in Chapter V.
16 General Report on Migrant Resettlement Plan
Based on the investigated opinions and the practicality, Huxian County urban road facilities construction project is mainly compensated in moneytary form. The rest two projects compensation forms will be selected freely according to the villagers’ intention. 2 Exchange of property rights Provided that the demolished household is unwilling to accept monetary compensation, then they can take the compensation according to the way of Exchange of property rights. The resettlement shall be done by balance out between the real estate market price of demolished house and the real estate market price of relocation house. See details from related laws and regulations.
3.5.4The resettlement principle of demolished and Relocated shops and enterprise
The government department which will demolish enterprises will make comprehensive technological economical analysis resettlement scheme of each enterprises which will be demolished. For the enterprises influenced by the demolition should try to rebuild and renew operation and production on the spot on condition of matching production. If the enterprises can not renew the production scale on the spot they have to rebuild in other position. Try to demolish and build by themselves, avoid or reduce stopping production. The project department will deliver proper and near place or industry district to enterprises for resettling by cooperating with city planning department. The resettlement position will be confirmed according with city planning by the treaty between the enterprises influenced by demolish and project department. Resettle the industry enterprises which will be relocated in other place as early as possible. Start rebuilding in advance. For the marketplaces and shops local government can arrange resettlement place exclusively or offer them transition expanses. These markets will be rebuilt on the old place or near the old place after the accomplishment of the project.
3. 5.5 Policy on affected over-ground objects attached to the land

5. Proposals for Migrants’ Work and Life Resuming
5.1 The resettlement target
The resettlement target of this project is to ensure the compensation return of the migrants’ whole loss, reasonable resettlement and good resume, making them share the benefit of the project and provide them assistant for their temporary difficulties. Through this project, their income level, living standard and the production and profit capability of enterprises can be increased or at least resumed to the comparatively high level before removal or before the project starts.
5.2 The resettlement principles
5.2.1 Minimization of migrants principle
On the basis of meeting the designing requirements, plans are optimized as well as possible to reduce land acquisition, house demolition and the impact of the project and thereby reduce the number of migrants to the minimum. Besides, non-farm land is primarily selected for the project to decrease the impact on the migrants production and income.
5.2.2 Equivalent compensation principle
In order to complete well the land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement and to prevent the decrease of immigrant living standard, we carry out the equivalent compensation principle, which includes two aspects. First, all property is compensated by its purchasing cost; second, other loss is compensated equivalently, that is, how much loss, how much subsidy.
1. Ensure that the units or individuals affected will improve or at least restore to their original standard of production and living as soon as possible.
2. Those who lose houses should gain new residence and should be resettled nearby.
3. The compensation criteria, the location of new residence, area and standard of new residence should be formulated after opinions from all people involved are
21 General Report on Migrant Resettlement Plan considered; houses removed should in principle be built by villagers themselves; if difficult, the local government or the committee of local residents should help.
4. When the houses affected are assessed, the compensation for all property will be calculated with the present price of replacement, and no depreciation is considered.
5. Land should be reallocated to ensure those who lose land regain land.
6. The mellow soil of land for temporary construction use should be reserved. When the construction is finished, the mellow soil can be returned to restore the land.
7. Land acquisition and resettlement must be finished at least one month before the construction starts, otherwise, the construction can not start.
8. According to the 16th article of Protective Regulations of Basic Farmland, if land for construction use includes land reserved for agricultural use, equal area of land should be opened up. If there’s no land to be opened up, or the land opened up can’t meet the required standard, corresponding fees should be turned in according to The Land Management Law of the People’s Republic of China.
9. The public-owned or private-owned houses or buildings, if removed, can be compensated in two ways: one is ownership of new residence and the other is monetary compensation. The price of the old houses or buildings and the accessories will be assessed by the relevant department of Administrative Department of Real Estate of Xi’an City. The basic price of removal compensation (including resettlement allowance, transition allowance, house-moving allowance and other allowances) is decided according to the classification of buildings (for residence, business and non- business use). The environmental regulating rate is decided according to the location and the classification of buildings (for residence, business and non-business use).
5.2.3 Keystone preferential principle
1 The project will focus on the impact of the removal on the migrants previous caste and social network, trying as hard as possible to plan a whole removal to maintain the integrity of the previous community. 2 The project will focus on the migrants difficulties during and after the removal. The project office will urge the local street office or the exploiting business to build the villagers committee or owners committee as early as possible at the new residence without such organizations, so as to help the migrants syncretize in the new community. As to the shops and
22 General Report on Migrant Resettlement Plan
working units willing to remove, their temporary loss due to the change of surroundings will be compensated by the project too. 3 The project will focus on weak groups (old people without adult offspring living together, widows, single-parent family, disabled, chronic patients and poor family), which will be offered preferable policy in residence, employment,etc. when they remove. And a regular visit and aid for special difficulty after the resettlement will last till the local administrative department takes charge. 4 The project will plan an open removal. It will manoeuvre power of local government to train the migrants for profession and try to create opportunities for employment, so that the migrants can adapt the environment of the new residence in a short time and become self- dependent in economy and the responsibility for migrants resettlement can be shifted in time from the removal orgnization to the migrants themselves. 5 The project will seek for the maximum of the cost-benefit of the removal. It will try to improve the ability of the removal orgnization, regulate the behavior of the removal work, establish perfect inner-controlling mechanism to prevent the waste, cut, embezzlement and corruption of the fund, reaching the best resettlement result. That is, try to reduce the resettlement cost as hard as possible with the planned effect index, which is benificial to both the migrants and the taxpayers of Xi’an City.
5.3 General Scheme of the Migrants Resettlement
The Project includes 5 sub-projects. In the designing process, each relevant designing units optimize and compare various plans, taking into consideration the execution of land acquisition to the system of local economy, production and life. In order to the plan with minimal migrants so as to fundamentally reduce the amount of migrants. In order to reduce the area of land acquisition and house demolition , and substract the impact of project construction to the local production and life, various plans are to be selected and the construction measures are to be optimized to control the road width and construction scale. Therefore, the project constructon will not cause fatal destroy to the privious production and living system. From Jan.2007 to May. 2007, the investigating team of the migrants resettlement of the project discussed the removal plan with the affected villages through conversaziones. According to the migrants suggestion and the actual condition of the affected area, and after analyzing the migrants resettlement environment capacity of each village, the project office work out the total removal
23 General Report on Migrant Resettlement Plan scheme the migrants affected by each sub-project are resettled at their privious community to maintain their previous production and life style, customs and social stability, which is helpful to enforce their enthusiasm and adaptability in production and life. To decrease the impact of the construction on the migrants production and life, all the village houses are to be demolished and built by themselves. And the waste building materials are at the migrants charge. In production, the farmland is generally adjusted partially in the same villagers team and the resettlement with land to develop agriculture are the main resettling form. At the same time, try to improve the irrigation works, adjust the planting structure and increase the land utilization. Besides, supplemented with adequate economic subsidy, make sure that the migrants can restore and improve their production and living standard.
5.3.1 The layout of residence rebuilding
The migrants affected by the project will be resettled dispersedly or massively in their previous community under the layout of the local town or village construction. A. Ground leveling up The migrants affected by the project will be resettled dispersedly or massively, so they are all supposed to select a house site in their previous village or villagers team. Generally speaking, the geological condition selected by themselves is good. They can build houses on it after leveling up a little. The leveling up of the house site will be carried out by migrants themselves, with their own inclination or organized by the migrants implementing organization of the county (district). B. Public project The project unit is responsible for the construction of facilities in water supply, electricity supply, radio and TV, road and transportation in the resettlement site. C. Community management and migrants house building Because the migrants affected by the project will be resettled in their previous community, the present administrative system won’t change. The migrants still belong to their previous town( street office) and village. In terms of the migrants willing, the new houses will be built before or during the demolishion of the old houses. The house building can be carried out by the migrants themselves or submitted to the qualified construction enterprises, who will build houses with a common criteria. According to the structure and area of the house, the migrants can also get a compensation, which is paid serially with the progress of the
24 General Report on Migrant Resettlement Plan house building. During the house building, the migrants can live in their previous houses in principle. The migrants will possess the old house building material and can deal with it with their own need and the value of old material won’t be subtracted from the house compensation. D. The public serving facilities in resettlement sites. In the construction and land acquisition, no public facilities such as school, hospital, etc. are removed, so there is no need to allocate it. Moreover, the new residence is the same distance away as the previous from the public facilities.
5.3.2 Production restoration scheme
On the basis of the comprehensive analysis of the location, land resource, income structure etc. of the local village and villagers, the removal designing working party will offer direct compensation or take other production restoration measures by asking for opinions of the affected households and the migrants representatives. The production restoration measures are as follows: reinforce the irrigating facilities to raise the ability of repelling disasters; adjust the agricultural structure and meliorate the breeds of economic plants to increase the agricultural output; train the migrants in professional skills and practical technology to raise their ability in employment and self-development. The removal compensation will be all given to the migrants resettled with cash compensation, while the land compensation belongs to the village collectivity. Since the removal plan is worked out by most migrants willing, the project office should try to consult with the migrants when some of them need to be resettled by other plan instead of the village plan. If some migrants in the villages resettled with cash compensation need land to work on agriculture, the county (district) migrants office of should help them to get land. Whereas, if some migrants want to be compensated with cash to work on business instead of agriculture, after submitting a self application and being notarized, they can get a cash compensation equalling to the removal compensation. Because each village is affected differently by the project, and possesses different resource structure,public facility conditions, the removal plan is different with different villages. The removal plan of each village is shown in each attached sub-project report.
25 General Report on Migrant Resettlement Plan
5.3.3 Organization and management of the removal implementation
The implementation of the migrants removal plan is organized and led by the project resettlement leading party. The affected counties (districts) gather members of relevant department to set up the project resettlement office, which is in charge of drawing resettlement policies; propagandizing ,mobilizing, organizing the work of the removal and resettlement. Meantime, the resettlement office is also a main channel for the migrants to reflect their problems. The resettlement office should duly and adequately listen to and collect the migrants opinions and problems, reflect it to relevant directors and tell the migrants the feedback in time.
5.3.4 Training programme
A.Training of migrants cadres In order to better carry out relevant policies of the World Bank on non- voluntary migrants removal and to ensure an orderly progress of the project removal work, the provincial project office plan to organize relevant members of local migrants organizations at all level to inspect and learn from some successful projects home and abroad, so as to improve their professional and managing quality. B. Migrants training of technology and skill In order to create an environment of self-dependence and self-development and to restore or improve the migrants living level in a short time, the county (district) resettlement office will organize the local migrants training in technology and skill, combined with the help from department of labour, social security, finance, education, science and technology and agriculture. The training is supposed to meet the requirements of local rural economic structure adjustment, the change of labour market and the empoying units, and should be pertinently carried out on the principle of practicality and actual effect.
5.3.5 The utilization of resettlement fund and security guarantee
A. The utilization of compensation fund The migrants resettlement compensation fund will be managed and used by the grass-roots economic organization affected by the project. Generally speaking, the house and its attachment compensation and the removal subsidy should be totally used by the affected households, mainly used in building new houses and moving
26 General Report on Migrant Resettlement Plan family possessions; the land acquisition compensation should be managed and used respectively by the town(street), village or villagers team according to the different ownership of the land. It is generally used in the production restoration, surplus labour force settlement and the improvement of basic facilities, etc. The house and its attachment compensation will be paid completely to the affected households, according to relevant policies. The land lacquisition compensation and the labour force resettlement subsidy will be planned as a whole by the town, village or villagers team. Besides being used in the migrants production restoration, on the agreement of the affected villagers team, the fund will also be used in the following aspects: invest in the construction of local basic facilities, which includes reinforcing the farmland basic construction, improving the irrigating facilities, strengthening the countryside road construction and improving the transportation ability. build up the commonweal in the villages invest in the second and third industy to increase the employment opportunity for the countryside surplus labour force. If necessary, some of the fund can be used to set up a venture fund to provide the local villagers with a basic living guarantee. B. The guarantee measures for the compensation fund If the fund is used to develop the second and third industry, the villagers committee and the village CPC committee must first carry out thorough and careful investigation and analysis to make sure the market condition is mature and then submit the proposal to the town (street) government for an approval. Moreover, the proposal can’t be carried out until it is approved by the affected villagers meeting. To prevent the decrease in income level of the affected persons after they are resettled, the management of the new enterprises must be enhanced, including regular inspects and audits on the enterprises and work out their practical problems in time( such as technical instruction, production and sale), and establish necessary regulations to make sure the enterprises develop well. If the investing surroundings change or the investing plan for the second and third industy can’t offer migrants a sound income, the land compensation and labour force resettlement subsidy will be preferably depositted in the bank. The annual interest income will be allocated to the affected families to guarantee their normal living standard. At the same time, the planned investing project will be reevaluated
27 General Report on Migrant Resettlement Plan
according to the present market condition before construction, so that we can decide whether to carry it on or change it.
5.4 The resettlement scheme of the individually-owned business
Because the project is a improvement of the comprehensive road network and when designed tries to avoid the population-densed villages and schools, there are fewer individually-owned business affected. The individually-owned businesses on the roadside are small in scale, running making use of their ground floor or the roadside simply-equipped houses. In the resettlement, their new house site will be preferably located at the crossway or on the roadside of the rebuilt road, so as to increase their customers to maintain their previous turnover, steady the income resource and prevent the fall of their living level. The roadside shops will be resettled at the proper place in the city with the owner willing, either selected by the owners themselves or directed by the government.
5.5 The resettlement scheme of the enterprises
According to the investigation on the spot, only part of the buildings of the affected enterprises and units need to be demolished and removed, which will not affect their normal production and operation. So, there is no need to remove and resettle.
5.6 The removal and rebuiding plan of the special facilities
The affected special facilities are mainly the electric and communicating wire and pole facilities along the road. The electric and communicating wire affected can be rebuilt as follows: when the previous wire intersects with the road, the pole can be highered to make the wire across the road; when the previous wire is along one side of the road, more transfering towers or poles should be built; the affected communicating wire will be all piped under through the road to be protected, and the wire will be partly changed if necessary. The rebuilding of special facilities are all planned and carried out by every relevant professional units. The project construction units will negotiate with directing department of each special facility about the fulfilment of the corresponding compensation fund.
