The construction of the project does not influence much to the affected households of land requisition. In the present economic construction condition,the income of the residents does not rely on land too much, even part of the farmland is uncultivated.The residents can still work on the formal occupation after receiving the project’s compensation, so the influence of the land requisition to the income of the residents is finitude.

31

For the residents along the route whose land are not requisitioned or houses are not relocated,they received certain employment opportunities in the project construction, as the migrant workers,the canteens for the constructors along the route.This part of residents have certain chance to make a profit in the project construction. 5. Basic Evaluation and Suggestion 5.1 Basic Evaluation In the process of resettlement, the resettlement office at all levels finish the work of relocation and resettlement according to The Resettlement Plan.Permanent requisitioned land and house relocation is finished as plan, the resettlement work is in progress, the basic evaluation is as following: (1) The schedule of house relocation and land requisition has been finished as required.

(2) The compensation criteria is no less than the criteria of The Immigrants’ Plan.

(3) The house relocation compensation is in place totally.

(4) The moving of the electronic and telegraphic lines has been finished,the construction units have entered, and the construction proceeds normally. 5.2 Suggestions In allusion to the problems mentioned above, the individual monitoring and evaluation units put forward several following suggestions for the following step of resettlement: (1)The deep of the borrow pit is about 5 to 6 meters,and cannot be made use for the agriculture production.because for the borrow pit,the possibility of recovering to the original shape after the carrying out of the project is small, and it’s easy to cause accidents in the future duration, such as child drownings,out control of one’s vehicle, the around land collapse etc.The monitoring and evaluation team suggests the relevant departments establish specialized safeguarding and caution signs,minimum the risk of accidents.

(2) They suggest to give proper policy care for the vulnerable groups,taking the methods of the rural poorest salvation and rural minimum living standard security, and all kinds of employment information and guide are provided,add employment opportunities, solve basic living problem, and take relevant supporting measure during the future work.

(3)Restoring and reconstructing the irrigation and water conservancy projects actively.
