Affected In the case of a household, the term “affected households” includes all - households members residing under one roof and operating as a single economic unit, who are adversely affected by a project or any of its components. Compensation - means payment in cash or in kind to replace losses of land, housing, income and other assets caused by the Project. All compensation is based on the principle of replacement cost, which is the method of valuing assets to replace the loss at current market rates, plus any transaction costs such as administrative charges, taxes, registration and titling costs. Cut-off date - means the date prior to which the occupation or use of the Project area makes residents/users eligible to be categorized as affected persons. The cut-off date coincides with the date of completion of the DMS within the Project area boundaries. Persons not covered in the DMS, because they were not residing, having assets, or deriving an income from the Project area, are not eligible for compensation and other entitlements. Affected people and local communities will be informed of the cut-off date for the Project. Entitlement - means a range of measures comprising compensation, income restoration support, transfer assistance, income substitution, and relocation support which are due to affected people, depending on the nature of their losses, to restore their economic and social base. Host - means the community already in residence at, or occupying or using, a community proposed resettlement or relocation site. Land - means the process whereby an individual, household, firm or private institution acquisition is compelled by a public agency to alienate all or part of the land it owns or possesses to the ownership and possession of that agency for public purposes in return for compensation equivalent to the replacement costs of affected assets. Rehabilitation - means assistance provided to project affected persons due to the loss of productive assets, incomes, employment or sources of living, to supplement payment of compensation for acquired assets, in order to achieve, at a minimum, full restoration of living standards and quality of life. Relocation - means the physical relocation of an AP from her/his pre-project place of residence. Replacement - This is the amount calculated before displacement which is needed to replace cost an affected asset without deductions for taxes, and/or costs of transaction as follows: (i) Productive land (Agricultural, fishpond, garden, forest) based on market prices that reflect recent land sales, and in the absence of such recent sales, based on productive value; 4 (ii) Residential land based on market prices that reflect recent land sales, and in the absence of such recent land sales, based on similar location attributes; (iii) Houses and other related structures based on current market prices of materials and labor without depreciation nor deductions for salvaged building materials; (iv) Standing crops equivalent current market value of the crop at the time of compensation; (v) Perennial crops and trees, cash compensation equivalent to current market value given the type, age and productive value (future production) at the time of compensation.
