Questionnaire Used in Surveying Situation of Residents to Be Affected by the Guangdong Component of IWW4 Project of China 5 1. Basic Situation of the Project 1.1 Project Background Xiniu Navigation Complex on the Liangjiang River is one of the three sub-projects of the Guangdong Component of IWW4 Project of China. The background of this project is to promote the development and the aid-the-poor work of the poverty-stricken mountain district in the Liangjiang River drainage area. The adjacent area of the Liangjiang River is the main distribution area of limestone mountain area in Guangdong, dotted with a large amount of poverty-stricken villages and population. Liannan, Yangshan, Lianshan, Qingxin and Yingde in the Liangjiang River drainage area are the poorest areas in Guangdon. Wherein, seven towns around the Lianjiang River of Yingde City, Yunling, Qingkeng, Boluo, Jiulong, Shihuipu, Yanbei and Mingjing, have 31 villages with a population of more than 150,000 who are suffering from poverty. In many villages and towns, the number of poverty-stricken families account for over 30% of the total families. The per capita GDP of Guangdong Province in 2000 was 12,855 Yuan, while Qingyuan district around the Lianjiang River was only 3,900 Yuan, about 31% of the average level of the province. The figures of Yingde, Liannan and Yangshan, which are under Qingyuan's administration, were even lower, among which Liannan and Yangshan were only 21% and 25% respectively of the provincial average. The hinterland of Lianjiang River has severe natural conditions and backward transportation infrastructure. Within the drainage area, there is a poverty-stricken minority population of about 172,100. Some minority villages are not open to traffic yet. Peasants there have to carry their agricultural and sideline products by shoulder for sale. Because of the complicated terrain structure, the development of highway is largely limited. The investment environment cannot be improved. And the poverty situation cannot be totally eliminated. Therefore, Guangdong Provincial Government drew up the 10th Five-Year Transportation Development Plan -- by constructing the waterway in the mountain area, the infrastructure and the investment environment of the mountain area will be improved; the regional economic scale and the total economic volume will be expanded; the national economy will be promoted; as a result, the poverty of the region will be eliminated.
