3 1. Introduction

The Urban Flood Control Project in the Mountainous Area in Hunan Province (referred to as the Project in short) loaned by the Asian Development Bank (referred to as the Asian Bank in short) has started officially. According to the requirements of the Asian Bank, the Project has introduced the resettlement monitoring and assessment mechanism to monitor and assess the process of land acquisition and resettlement, as well as the quality and effect of the resettlement for the purpose of overall understanding of the resettlement and scientific decision-making by the Owner and the Asian Bank based on the monitoring assessment reports provided by the resettlement monitoring and resettlement institute.

According to the Minutes of meeting held on Apr. 29, 2007 by the Project Office and the fax issued on Aug. 16, 2007 by the Asian Bank, Hunan Water & Electricity Consulting Corporation (referred to as HWECC) would be responsible for the external monitoring and assessment of 16 non-core sub-projects including Lengshuijiang City, Lianyuan City, Shuangfeng County, Shaoyang City, Shaodong County, Longhui County, Jiangyong County, Xintian County, Jianghua County, Qiyang County, Ningyuan County, Chenzhou City, Zhuzhou City, Liling City, Zhuzhou County and Youxian County.

After signing of the resettlement monitoring and assessment contract, HWECC has contacted all project units actively and has signed resettlement monitoring and assessment contracts with 3 sub-projects including Jiangyong City, Chenzhou City and Liling City. Established in January of 2008, the Resettlement and Assessment Department for the Urban Flood Control Project in the Mountainous Area in Hunan Province

4 loaned by the Asian Development Bank (referred to the Resettlement and Assessment Department) in HWECC started its preparatory work, worked out the Resettlement Monitoring and Assessment Work Outline for the Urban Flood Control Project in the Mountainous Area in Hunan Province loaned by the Asian Development Bank (the draft) as well as the sub-project resettlement monitoring and assessment work outline and has begun the first stage monitoring and assessment. Since the Project has just started soon, the finished resettlement was not big and the progress was behind the resettlement plan. Therefore, the monitoring and assessment at this stage is focused on followings: (1). Establishment and operation of resettlement organizations. (2). Used resettlement policy and compensation standards . (3). Progress of land acquisition and Demolition. (4). Raising and payment of resettlement funds.

2. Project Outline

2.1 Project Outline

The Urban Flood Control Project in the Mountainous Area in Hunan Province covers 35 county-level cities in the mountainous area in Hunan Province which suffer severe floods, including 8 prefecture-level cities (the Zhuzhou City, Xiangtan City, Hengyang City, Yongzhou City, Loudi City, Chenzhou City, Shaoyang City, Huaihua City and the Jishou City which is the capital city of the autonomous prefecture, as well as 27 counties (cities) under 12 Cities (prefecture).

The contents of the 16 non-core sub-projects undertaken by the HWECC include flood control projects, waterlogging projects, river dredging and bridges, etc., and the total investment is 1862,1127 million RMB Yuan, while the resettlement costs account for 452,9304 million RMB Yuan.

5 After implementation, the flood control and waterlogging standards of prefecture-level cities will be increased to 1-in-50 years and 1-in-20 years respectively, while the standards of county-level cities will be increased to 1-in-20 years and 1-in-10 years respectively, which means significant social and economic benefits. The basic information of the 16 sub-projects is shown in Table 2.1.

50 6. Psychology and Complaint of the Resettled People

The resettled people enjoy the rights and obligations specified in China’s Constitution and it is specified that the legitimate rights of the resettled people shall not be violated. The Clause 15 in the Regulation of Land Compensation and Resettlement Arrangement for Large and Medium-sized Water Resources Projects specifies that “the State safeguards the legitimate rights of the resettled people”. If the resettled people consider that their legitimate rights are violated, they have the rights to complain until getting their rights.

6.1 Complaint Channel

There are various complaint channels for the resettled people, including delivering complaint to resettlement institutions at various levels, petition, discipline inspection, audit departments of various governments, as well as monitoring, justice and court, media, and the external monitoring institutions.

6.2 Complaint Procedures

The resettled people can deliver their complaint following the procedure of from low level to high level. Firstly they can contact their village committee, and the village committee or the resettled people then contact their township (town) government to coordinate and solve. They can also report to the upper resettlement institution and the upper institution should jointly study the complaint with the lower resettlement institution. if the complaint can not be suitably solved, they can report to another higher level or to the courts.

6.3 Psychology and Complaint of the Resettled People

51 According to the information provided by the resettlement institutions and site visit of the monitoring personnel, most resettled people support the construction of the flood control project and they believe the project will raise the flood standards, change the look of the city and safeguard people’s lives and properties. Residents living in the low area along the river feel most urgent to implement the project, and they express that they agree with the compensation standards. However, some resettled people are concerned that the compensation is not enough to buy new houses and they worry their future livelihood as their farmland occupied, minor resettled people’s demands are too high.

7. Public Participation, Consultation and Information Publicizing

Since the flood control projects are key projects in local cities (counties), local medias including TV, news papers have made widespread broadcasting and the make the public know the outline and progress of the Project.

Before implementation of the removal and resettlement, the resettlement institutions of all sub-projects have held various meetings to listen to the opinions of the resettled people, to implement the resettlement arrangement.

During the implementation, the resettlement personnel take the way of on-the-site meeting, to publicize items including land acquisition, house removal, compensation standards, etc., to the resettled people.

After checking of the physical indexes, they are publicized before signing the agreements to get the supervision of the mass and to make decision open, fair and just.

52 7.1 Jiangyong County

(1). The land acquisition investigation results and compensation standards have been publicized in affected villages.

(2). The resettlement personnel of the Headquarters have held various meetings in the affected villages to propagate the resettlement policy and ask for the views of the resettled people.

(3). Although the relevant contents in the resettlement manual have been propagated to the resettled people, the resettlement manual has not been released to the resettled people.

7.2 Chenzhou City

(2). The resettlement personnel of the Headquarters have held various meetings in the affected villages to propagate the resettlement policy and ask for the views of the resettled people.

(3).The Headquarters has worked out the Compilation of the Propaganda Documents for House Removal of the Tongxinhe Project, which includes followings: 1).Briefing of the Project. 2).Management Regulation of the Urban House Removal issued by the State Council. 3).No.159 Order issued by the Hunan Provincial Government (Implementation of the Management Regulation of the Urban House Removal in Hunan Province). 4).Answers of legal questions in house removal. This material has released to the village heads and resettled people.

53 (4). Although the relevant contents in the resettlement manual have been propagated to the resettled people, the resettlement manual has not been released to the resettled people.

8. Existed Problems and Suggestions

(1). Harder work should be done as the real progress of the resettlement behind the planned schedule.

The resettlement progresses both in Jiangyong County and Chenzhou City are behind the planned schedule. The Jiangyong County planned to end all resettlement work by the end of Dec., 2008 and to make resettlement acceptance in Mar., 2009. The real situation is that except several households’ auxiliary house been moved, resettled households are checking the physical indexes, the removal agreements have not been signed and the new site for building houses still needs to discuss with the resettled households

The Chenzhou City planned to sign removal and resettlement agreements from Sept., 2007, to start restoration of the resettlement production and lives in Sept., 2007 and to end all works by the end of Oct., 2008, to restore the infrastructure from Sept., 2007 and finish by the end of Jan., 2008, to make resettlement acceptance in Mar. of 2009, and to make pose-assessment in Apr. of 2009. The real situation is as followings: The affected houses in the Chenzhou Tiancheng Chemical Company have been removed, the land acquisition agreements of 25 Mu collective land have been signed, the preparatory work of 11 Mu land used for resettlement and the negotiation of use of 70 Mu state-owned land have been completed, the removal of residents’ house have not been started except removal of several simple house and auxiliary facilities.

54 According to the monitoring information, the resettlements of both sub-projects are obviously behind the planned schedule. It is suggested that relevant units should attach great importance to the resettlement work and to take effective measures to speed up the implementation. The resettlement belongs to the work of the government, local governments should strengthen leadership of the resettlement and guarantee that the resettlement meets the progress of the Project construction.

(2). Implementing the physical indexes of the land acquisition and resettlement

Both sub-projects in Jiangyong County and Chenzhou City have been started construction formally, land acquisition and check of physical removal indexes are carrying out now, it is suggested to accelerate the work and to provide various physical data based on households, groups and villages to HWECC, so as to make foundation investigations and tracking surveys in accordance with the resettlement plan approved by the Asian Bank.

(3). Strengthening propaganda of the resettlement

Although a lot of propagandas have been carried out during physical resettlement index investigation and initial implementation, some resettled people still knew little about the resettlement policy and compensation standards, a few people have too high expectation to the compensation. To guarantee smooth implementation of the resettlement and the Project, first work should be make the resettled people know and to achieve public resettlement policy, public compensation standards, public physical indexes and public resettled population. At the moment the Resettlement Arrangement Information Manual approved by the

55 Asian Bank should be released to the resettled people as soon as possible, to get understanding and support of the resettled people.

(4). Improving file and information management

The resettlement covers a wide scope with complex contents and large information, and the statistic data change quickly. As the resettlement has just begun, because of lacking experience, the statistics, information and files of both sub-projects are behind the progress and it’s difficult for them to supply timely and systematic implementation information. Therefore, it is suggested that every sub-project improves file and information management, establishes file information management system, collects data and makes statistics timely, establishes databank, make good management of various physical figures, compensation agreements and compensation documents of the land acquisition and resettlement, and renews the data including implementation progress, payment of the compensation fund, etc., so as to achieve a more standardized and scientific implementation, management and decision-making of the Project.

(4). Adjusting the resettlement plan properly

Affected by tightening credit and fund difficulty, as well as long negotiation in resettlement compensation, the resettlement implementation progresses of both sub-project are behind the schedule of resettlement arrangement plan, the planned schedule has little meaning in controlling the progress. Another problem is a higher increase in land compensation in implementation. For instance, in Jiangyong County, the planned compensations for paddy fields and dry land are 21254 RMB/Mu and 14645 RMB/Mu, while the signed

56 compensations are 43600 RMB/Mu and 33600 RMB/Mu respectively. In Chenzhou City, the planned compensation for commercial vegetable land is 58725 RMB/Mu, while the real compensation is 88000 RMB/Mu. Because of the compensation increase, the resettlement costs will change significantly. Considering above factors and some other factors (such as change of some physical indexes), it is suggested to adjust the arrangement plan properly.

(5). It is suggested to report the land acquisition scheme of the Project in Chenzhou City to the Provincial Land Resources Department as early as possible.

(6).The collective land of Group 4, Yuchang Village, Chenjiang Town of Chenzhou City Sub-project (total area of 25.03 Mu) was measured by the Chenzhou National Land Surveying Team, it included 11.20 Mu vegetable land, but the villagers requested all land to be compensated in accordance with the vegetable land standard (880000 RMB per Mu), otherwise they refused to sign the agreement. Because of the urgency of starting the Project, the agreement was signed according to vegetable land compensation standard. Such incident should be taken as a lesson and should be avoided in future.

(7). According to the practice of HWECC for the Project, the signing of the external resettlement monitoring and assessment contracts is rather difficult and it is suggested that the Project Office should support and coordinate in order to make smooth implementation of the work.
