DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT AND THE SUBPROJECT A. The Project 1. The Southern Economic Corridor Towns Development Project (SECTDP) will enhance the competitiveness of towns along the Southern Economic Corridor (SEC). The project will transform the corridor towns of Battambang, Bavet, Neak Loeung, and Poipet in Cambodia into economic hubs by improving urban-environmental infrastructure and strengthening institutional capacities of provincial and local authorities. The project will finance 10 subprojects in these towns. 2. This Project is the Phase one of a long-term engagement in towns of the GMS economic corridors and is concurrent with the strategic framework of the Greater Mekong Sub-Region Economic Cooperation Program 2012–2022, which was approved by the 4th GMS Summit on 19 -20 December 2011 in Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar. The project is also in line with the Cambodia Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) and supports the ADB Urban Operational Plan (UOP) which addresses the environmental (green), equity (inclusiveness), and economic (competitiveness) issues, and sets out future direction toward efficient, sustainable, and equitable development of cities. The Project is classified as category A for involuntary resettlement as one of the subprojects (flood control in Neak Loeung) has significant resettlement impacts and has been classified as IR category A. B. Subproject Description 3. The SECTDP as envisaged covers four towns and 10 subprojects. Eight (8) of these subprojects have been prioritized for implementation, of which three (3) subprojects will be implemented in Bavet Town. These include: (i) Bavet Urban Road (ii) Storm Drainage of the Wastewater Treatment Subproject (iii) Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) 4. The Bavet Urban Road Sub-project involves the widening/improvement of National Highway No. 01 from 159th Km to 165th Km in Bavet Town of Svay Rieng Province, Cambodia. The subproject is located in 3 communes which are: i) Ba Ti ii) Bavet and iii) Chrak Mtess. The existing two lanes of carriageway will be extended to four lanes with the median at center; Street lights will be installed at the center median. Pedestrian walkways will be constructed for the urban road section. The subproject will also include the construction of storm water drainage on both sides of the road and five units of box culverts for road crossing. The Corridor of Impact (COI) of the subproject is 15 meters from center line of the road on both sides. 5. The Bavet Storm Drainage subproject contains construction of storm drainage structures to serve priority areas in Bavet commune with three (3) drainage lines, all starting or crossing the National Road No. 1 and complementing the Bavet Urban Road subproject through providing major drainage outfalls for the drainage system constructed along the National road. The total planned length of the three drainage lines will be approx. 5km. 6. The purpose of the Materials Recovery Facility is to provide a sanitary and efficient system and facility for manual recovery of dry, source-segregated recyclable waste from households, institutions and commercial establishments such as casinos and factories of the special economic zone. It will also include purchase of segregated recyclables directly from households and other establishments. 1 7. This DDR is prepared to confirm the scope of land acquisition and resettlement impact for the Bavet Materials Recovery Facility. 8. RPs for the Bavet Urban Road and for the Bavet Wastewater Treatment Storm Drainage Subproject have been prepared and submitted as separate plans. II. MATERIALS RECOVERY FACILITY SUBPROJECT A. Pre-Project Situation 9. Solid waste collection in Bavet is undertaken by High Brid Company, a local company which undertakes waste collection in the urban sangkat areas and in the special economic zone with casinos and restaurants. Sok Racine Company, a local company which undertakes waste collection from the factories that are not covered by

TRANSPORTATION OF THE MACHINE DURING TEST With lack of CMAC transport vehicle big enough to move demining machine from port to the test field and via versa, Transido which is a private transportation company, had been hired to provide this services under close cooperation with CMAC. During transportation, transido took care of transport, safety and insurance while CMAC would conduct the offload and reload the machine to/from truck trailer or to/from ship at international Sihanouk ville port. Road assessment and route selection prior to transportation will be done by CMAC and transido. Transport compahy address: TRANNSINDO JAPAN CAMBODIA CO., LTD. #29, MAO TSE TOUNG STREET, PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA TEL: +855.23.217061 FAX: +855.23.216524 The selection of the transport route is primary related to total gross weight of the machine (in combination with truck trailer) and the condition of road particularly the condition of the bridge. To open access road to the test site at Siem Reap, a poor, weak wooden bridge was dismantle and a new concrete bridge strong enough to support the gross weight of the demining machines was constructed. In other area, steel plates had been temporary laid on top of the existing pipe culvert to strengthen the structure and potholes had been refilled by earth/rock or leveled by CMAC bulldozer.

  • New Light on the Origins of the Vietnam-Kampuchea Conflict Ben
    New Light on the Origins of the Vietnam-Kampuchea Conflict Ben Kiernan (Bulletin of Concerned Asian Scholars, 12:4, 1980, 61-65) “Don't make pretexts about Kampuchea Krom in order to hide your jaw of traitor." Security regulation no. 8 for inmates at the Pol Pot regime's Tuol Sleng prison, Phnom Penh, 1977-8. On January 7, 1979, Vietnamese-backed forces captured Phnom Penh and overthrew the regime of Pol Pot, Ieng Sary and Khieu Samphan. The population of Kampuchea generally welcomed the change. But many Khmers still harboured the suspicion best described by Martin Woollacott, who quoted one as saying: “Yes, the Vietnamese have saved us, but what have they saved us for?”1 The motives of the Vietnamese communists, and of the Pol Pot government, in pursuing the two-year (1977-78) border fighting that led up to Vietnam's final push have been described in a number of ways. It has been interpreted as a somehow irresolvable "frontier dispute," longheld Vietnamese plans to dominate all of Indochina, Chinese attempts to weaken Vietnam by encouraging Pol Pot raids across its borders, or Pol Pot's need to bolster his flagging internal position by creating an external conflict. However, a 1976 Pol Pot internal communist party magazine gives another angle on the problem, describing it as "the continuous non-stop struggle between revolution and counter- revolution." 2 The June 1976 issue of Tung Padevat ("Revolutionary Flags"), continues: We must have the standpoint that the enemy will continue to exist for 10, 20 or 30 years. The national struggle is the same as the class struggle; in a word, the struggle between revolution and counter-revolution will be continuous .
