Xi’an Urban Road Network Improvement Project Funded by the ADB

Loan External Monitoring Report for RP Implementation

Xi’an serves as the capital as well as the political, economic and cultural center of Shaanxi Province. As one of the most important growth poles in West China, Xi’an realized urban average annual growth rate of population of 1.85％ and annual growth rate of GDP of 13.5% from 2000 to 2007. Between 2003 and 2007, the annual growth rate for total number of registered vehicles was 12.2%. An urban road network as the foundation of a city’s development is a powerful guarantee for the normal operation of various basic functions of a city and the development of social economy. In recent years, the construction level, service level and operation efficiency of urban traffic infrastructure in Xi’an have been improved greatly, but there are still some problems. For example, the road network is incomplete, the links among different roads are limited, and some roads have too much traffic; urban entrance and exit have traffic jams, and it is difficult to connect with the suburban expressways; east-west and south-north arterial roads in old urban area are faced with big pressures; there are less pedestrian crossing facilities, and pedestrians, vehicles and non-motor vehicles intermingle in a manner that impacts all three adversely; the lack of parking facilities forces vehicles to park on the roadside, exacerbating traffic congestion. To build an efficient, convenient, and environmentally advantageous modern traffic system, perfect urban infrastructure system, and comprehensively improve urban service functions, Xi’an plans to make use of an ADB loan for the improvement of Xi’an Urban Road Network, and attempts to promote the construction and systematic management of urban integrated transportation system by an all-round and overall scheme, thus facilitating the sustainable development of urban economy. The project will build connecting lines for urban road, interchanges, develop bus priority, construct non-motor vehicles roads, improve pedestrian safety, construct comprehensive

1

transportation hub, enhance traffic management, and control traffic emission. In January 2012, Xi’an and ADB signed an agreement on loan of US$ 150 million. In order to better solve the urban traffic problems, relieve traffic jam, improve road safety, enhance the urban carrier function and ensure a rapid, sound and ordered development of the city, Xi’an Municipal People’s Government uses the loan of Asian Development Bank (ADB for short) to initiate the urban road network improvement and public facilities construction project in Xi’an, the project covers five parts, including (i) road network improvement; (ii) pedestrian traffic and safety; (iii) comprehensive transportation facilities; (iv) intelligent transport system (ITS) and safety education for drivers; (v) environment protection enhancement. Besides, the project provides EA/IA with consulting service for project management and capacity building. See Figure 1 for the location plan of road network improvement subprojects.

Figure 1 Location plan for the subprojects Only subprojects 1 and 3 in this project involve resettlement. In 2011, the resettlement plan was prepared. In September 2012, the IA confirmed the first five subprojects (east section of Kunming Road, Zhuhong Road-North 2nd Ring Interchange, Zhuhong Road-Fengcheng 4th Road Interchange, Hongmiaopo Interchange and Xinghuo Road Interchange) and finished their initial

2

design schemes. In March 2013, the resettlement plan was updated in accordance with the initial design for the first subprojects; the updated plan was submitted to ADB for review and approved in September 2013 (hereinafter referred to as the “updated resettlement report for the first subprojects”). In April 2014, the IA confirmed the initial design scheme of Fengcheng 8th Road-Taihua Road Interchange, and updated the resettlement plan based on the initial design; the updated plan was submitted to ADB for review and approved in December 2014 (hereinafter referred to as the “updated resettlement report for Fengcheng 8th Road-Taihua road subproject”). In April 2014, the IA confirmed the initial design scheme of Dazhai Road subproject; in November 2015, ADB approved the updated resettlement plan for Dazhai Road. In September 2015, the IA confirmed the initial design scheme for Keji 2nd Road subproject. In May 2016, ADB approved the updated resettlement plan for Keji 2nd Road. In July 2016, the IA confirmed the initial design scheme for Parking Lot subproject of Xi’an National Civil Aerospace Industrial Base. In November 2016, the PMO submitted the updated resettlement plan for the Parking Lot of Xi’an National Civil Aerospace Industrial Base. The monitoring report of this term mainly updates the immigrates resettlement situation of Hongmiaopo Interchange Sub-project, Xinghuo Road Interchange Sub-project and Keji 2nd Road Interchange Sub-project, including the number of affected households, area of the house to be demolished and the resettlement; there’s no progress made in other subprojects, and no update content to be made.

I. Overall progress 1. The overall progress for road and bridge improvement subprojects is as below: (1)Kunming Road: Using domestic fund for construction has already been arranged. In original design, after extension, Kunming Road would cover the polluted watercourse, while according to modified design, a river crossing bridge is to be constructed, which will become a part of Xi’an express way. At present, the express way is under construction, and will be finished in 2019. (2)Fengcheng 8th Road-Beichen Avenue Interchange: because the construction of another side of Fengcheng 8th Road has not stared, and construction

3

would involve numerous resettlement and power line reset, hence, the construction for the interchange has been suspended. (3) Zhuhong Road-North 2nd Ring Interchange: The original design scheme involved the demolition of Sinohydro Corporation Engineering Bureau 15 Co., Ltd. Community, but only 89% of residents agreed to relocate in the social stability risk evaluation required by Xi’an Municipal People’s Government, which failed to meet the requirement of 95%. Therefore, the original design for the west-north loop ramp in is changed into the west-north directional ramp scheme, avoiding the demolition of the Sinohydro Corporation Engineering Bureau 15 Co., Ltd. Community. The land acquisition and demolition for the interchange has been finished. At present, the construction works of the interchange were completed. The interchange has been open to traffic. (4) Zhuhong Road-Fengcheng 4th Road Interchange: According to the updated resettlement report for the first subprojects, Zhuhong Road-Fengcheng 4th Road Interchange does not involve land acquisition and demolition. Construction of roads and supporting equipment for the interchange has been completed, and all the project engineering have been completed; the interchange was opened on May 26, 2016. Now the interchange has been open to traffic. (5) Hongmiaopo Interchange: The interchange project was handed over to construction site in September 2016. It was completed on July 31, 2017, and open to traffic. At present, the interchange is fully open to traffic. (6) Xinghuo Road Interchange: The interchange project was completed on July 31, 2017 and open to traffic. At present, the interchange has been fully open to traffic. (7) Fengcheng 8th Road-Taihua Road Interchange: Up to the end of July 2018, the land acquisition and demolition related to the project have been fully completed, and has been handed over to construction site. Now bridge deck engineering is basically completed, realizing traffic in east-west and south-north two directions. The construction unit is carrying out construction for greening, All have been completed; the interchange mainlines and directional ramp bridges are all opened to traffic, thus realizing the connectivity of interchanges. (8) Dazhai Road: Now the roads in the range of the two industrial parks (Yuhua Industrial Park and Heping Industrial Park) involved in construction of Dahzai Road have been comprehensively completed, in which, the passage from Beishiqiao Village to Minqizhai Village was accomplished on May 17, 2018.

4

(9) Keji 2nd Road: House demolitions for former remained 29 affected households of Xiaoyanzhuang Village and staff building of Xi’an International University are all completed. Up to May 2018, land acquisition and demolition involved in Keji 2nd Road was basically completed. In which, house demolition for east section of staff building (No. 1) of Xi’an International University was completed in May 2017; resettlement for 29 affected households of Xiaoyanzhuang Village was completed in July 2017, meanwhile, all the house demolition involved was completed, with a floor area of 46186m2. At the end of July, the site was handed over to construction unit. At present, the utility tunnel is under construction, after its construction, the construction for roads will start. Now the roads at the east and west end have been completed, it is planned to have transport service by the end of March 2019 (Half of the Road). 2. Comprehensive traffic facility subproject covers four comprehensive traffic hubs (Xi'an North Railway Station, Xi'an National Civil Aerospace Industrial Base, Yuhuazhai and Xi'an International Trade & Logistics Park), five multistorey parking garages and five refueling stations (included in four comprehensive traffic hubs, with the addition of Mujiangwang Refueling Station). The overall implementation schedule is as below: (1) Four comprehensive traffic hubs: the land for Bus Parking Lot of Xi’an North Railway Station was handed over to Xi’an Urban Infrastructure Construction Investment Group in December 2014. Xi’an Urban Infrastructure Construction Investment Group Co., Ltd. has obtained written decision on state-owned construction land allocation as well as the approval from land resources department, and relevant procedures has been handled; contract for Bus Parking Lot of Xi’an North Railway Station was signed in December 2016, and contractor entered the site in February 2017. Now, the construction has been started, and the construction is expected to be finished before December 31, 2018. Yuhuazhai Comprehensive Transfer Station has been cancelled clearly. For the land that land acquisition of original project site is unavailable, and the new site proposed by local government is too far from metro station to construct transportation junction, Xi’an Urban and Rural Construction Commission and Xi’an Urban Infrastructure Construction Investment Group Co., Ltd. will remove the transportation junction from project content.

5

Design scheme and land occupation for Traffic Hub of Xi’an International Trade & Logistics Park has not been determined, and Traffic Hub Scheme is still in researching, because inter-city rail transportation station and long-distance bus station will be built near the planned transportation hub. Due to influence of site selection and processing relevant procedure, implementation is clearly suspended. Xi'an Urban and Rural Construction Commission and Xi’an Urban Infrastructure Construction Investment Group Co., Ltd. proposed to establish two traffic hubs in the east and the north of the city, covering construction project of No.2 Company of Xi’an Public Transportation Corporation in Dongxiaozhai (Dongxiaozhai Bus Parking Lot, west of Weiyang Road) and Station of Xigao Public Transportation Co., Ltd. (Xigao Bus Parking Lot, south of Jingpu Road); and has submitted the Due Diligence Report under the requirement of ADB. The relevant procedures in early stage are in process; Due to the change of position, ADB inspection team decided to cancel the Bus Parking Lot of No.2 Company of Xi’an Public Transportation Corporation (Dongxiaozhai Bus Parking Lot). The site of transportation hub project in Xi’an National Civil Aerospace Industrial Base has been determined, and land acquisition area of 62.3mu 1 has been reconfirmed. On December 12, 2012, land acquisition and demolition office of Xi’an National Civil Aerospace Industrial Base signed land acquisition and demolition contract with Village Committee of Xinzhaizi Village in Changan Weiqu Subditrict, in which land acquisition area is 800mu, including land acquisition area of 62.3mu for the project. In July 2016, after initial design of the project, remeasurement and counting for arable land and ground attachment in the range of the project was carried out. In May 2017, checking for all ground attachments and signing of Compensation Agreement for 30 affected households were completed, and compensation fee of CNY 78 thousand per mu for ground attachment was paid (including land cleanup fee ), totaling CNY 3,381.3 thousand for 43.35mu. In June 2017, demolition for temporary building and cleanup for site were completed, and site was handed over at the end of the month. By May 2018, land acquisition and demolition involved in the

1 Bus Parking Lot of Xi’an National Civil Aerospace Industrial Base needs an occupation of land of 2.9hectare (43.35mu). According to the investigation, the land occupation impact of the project was confirmed. Because part of the land of the affected households is within the project scope but the other part is not within the scope, the acquisition of part of the land may affect the subsequent use of land if only a part of land is acquired, it is needed to acquire the entire land at the time of acquiring the land. Hence, the subproject acquired 4.15 hectare (62.3mu) of land finally.

6

project were all completed; at present, construction contract signing and commencement are in preparation. Procurement Evaluation Report for first round bidding of civil engineering contract of bus parking lot was approved in February 2017. Because audit unit found out that there was bidding collusion, rebidding was required, and it started from December 2017, Procurement Evaluation Report was approved by ADB on May 10th,2018. It is estimated that construction will start after signing contract.

(2) Five multistorey parking garages: two multi-layer parking lots will be built in Yuhuazhai Comprehensive Traffic Hub and Xi’an International Trade & Logistics Park, and the other three will be built beside old city wall (Lejuchang, Nanguoshang Village and Xizhan Community). By the end of May 2018, land for five multi-layer parking lots were unable to be acquired, hence, the site shall be reselected. Project office proposed to establish East Fucun Road Parking Lot. Now, it has submitted the Due Diligence Report required by ADB and obtained the reply and approval of ADB to establish East Fucun Road Underground Parking Lot. In addition, civil engineering procurement contract was signed in May 2017. Now it is under construction. (3) Refueling station: It is planned to establish five compressed gas stations, four of which will be built in the four bus parking lots and the other one will be built in Mujiangwang. Due to the delay of construction of bus parking lot, the construction of gas stations was also delayed. The compressed gas station built in Mujiangwang will be reconstructed in bus maintenance station. At present, the gas stations confirmed include: Bus Parking Lot of Xi’an National Civil Aerospace Industrial Base, Refueling Station in Xi’an North Railway Station, Refueling Station of No.5 Company of Xi’an Public Transportation Corporation. In which, there is no land acquisition and resettlement of affected persons involved in Refueling Station of Xi’an North Railway Station and Refueling Station of No.5 Company of Xi’an Public Transportation Corporation, and land acquisition and resettlement has been completed for Bus Parking Lot of Xi’an National Civil Aerospace Industrial Base. Problems related to resettlement for all affected households and residents have been solved properly and the due diligence report have been approved by ADB.

II. Impact of Land Acquisition and Demolition Xi’an Urban Road Network Improvement Project with ADB loan belongs to urban road and infrastructure construction project. The project is expected to promote the

7

urban integrated traffic systematic construction and systematic management through a comprehensive and whole scheme, thus promoting the urban economic sustainable development. The project will build a connection road for urban road short slab, build open interchange to promote public transportation priority, build bicycle line to improve the pedestrian safety, build comprehensive traffic facilities to enhance traffic management, and control gas emission. And the road & bridge improvement subproject and comprehensive traffic facilities subproject is affected by land acquisition in the project. After completing the preliminary design scheme of the project, Project Implementation Agency updated the original resettlement plan (first draft) and investigated the impact of LA&R accordingly. The affected area includes three economic & technological development zones, six subdistricts, two industrial parks in five administrative districts (Weiyang District, Lianhu District, Chang’an District, Yanta District, Baqiao District) of Xi’an, and Xi’an International Trade & Logistics Park, Daming Palace Preservation Office, and Weiyang Daxing Reconstruction Office. After implementation of the project, the project implementation agency made an inventory and record of the number and type of affected objects. 1. Affected districts Affected districts in this project involve Weiyang District, Lianhu District, Chang’an District, Yanta District and Baqiao District in Xi’an. See Table 1 for details.

Monitoring method For the monitoring and investigation of the project impact, it adopts participatory monitoring which gradually becomes mature worldwide in recent years, and the traditional methods for monitoring investigation is also used. The adoption of participatory methods is a highlight of this investigation; its advantage is that by making interested party and non-interested party (independent person) affected by the project as the participator of monitoring investigation, it has realistic and positive significance in the control and analysis of the content, progress and result of monitoring, enhancement of the objectivity, systematicness and effectiveness of monitoring, promotion of understanding and recognition among interest parties related to the project, reduction of the negative effects during implementation of the project, and promotion of the successful implementation of the project. The major process and methods for the monitoring investigation of this project are as follows: (1) According to the requirements of participatory monitoring principle, a main step of the land acquisition and demolition monitoring is to form project land acquisition and demolition monitoring advisory committee composed of representatives of project implementation agency, local government officials of project area, representatives of the masses affected by project land acquisition and demolition, representatives of communities in project area and independent expert representatives, etc. The advisory committee can not only provide advisory opinions for content, procedure, progress and other major problems of monitoring work, but also directly participate in the centralized monitoring survey and daily monitoring of the project. In this way, since some members of the advisory committee just live in the project area, they can conveniently conduct continuous, detailed and in-depth monitoring survey on land acquisition and demolition activities of the project

19 and the impact, so as to avoid careless omission and deviation of survey data due to space-time limitation in the past. (2) Use of traditional monitoring survey tools, including on-site survey, in-home questionnaire, dictation records, gathering relevant personnel for informal discussion, visit of relevant competent organization, inquiry of statistical data, local chronicles and literatures on laws and regulations. 3. Monitoring process By March 2013, the preliminary design for the first batch of subprojects had been completed, and external monitoring for land acquisition, demolition and resettlement had been conducted as scheduled. Up to now, a system monitoring survey and baseline survey have been completed in each project: Monitoring work is mainly conducted from two aspects, one is the estimation of monitoring personnel for the influence quantity in project area, while the other is the monitoring of economic life level for the collective and family in project affected area, including the follow-up survey for overview of social and economic condition and development level, and the follow-up survey for 950 affected households randomly selected from four districts. The survey information mainly focuses on industrial structure, economic advantages and restriction factor, degree of impact of land acquisition and demolition, and main measures for economic recovery in future, apart from the basic information of the households. 4.

The demolition area of enterprise and public institution is 63,863.45 m2, in which 6 enterprises and public institutions are involved, and the specific resettlement details are as follows: (1)For the impact of Shaanxi Sirui Industrial Co., Ltd. suffered from land acquisition and house demolition, Yuhua Demolition Office in Hi-tech Industries Development Zone has reached a consensus with the enterprise regarding the demolition matter and has signed an agreement. The enterprise chose an integral allocation. The project implementation organization and the local government assist in the selection of resettlement for units to be demolished, and handling of relevant procedures; The enterprise re-selected the new plant site near Jinye 1st Road, Xi'an High-tech Industries Development Zone, and started the new plant construction and equipment relocation. During this period, the enterprise made a normal production and operation without affecting by land acquisition and house demolition. The affected staff did not have a downtime and their lodging problem has received the attention and support of the government who offered

54

a green channel for the staff and gave priority to their application for public rental apartments in Xi’an Hi-tech Industries Development Zone (Jingye Apartment). Now part of staff have applied for the public rental apartment and lived there, which greatly solves the lodging and living improvement problem. The new plants and production workshops were opened to use in June 2015. Xi’an High-tech Industries Development Zone has done great help to the development of this enterprise during its growth process. Now it renamed Shaanxi Siri Advanced Materials Co., Ltd., with two production and operation sites. One is located at No. 12, Zhangba 7th Road, Xi’an Hi-tech Industries Development Zone, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, covering an area of 72 mu, and its main equipment are the office buildings and production workshops (see Figure 5, 6), and the staff there are still lodging in the Jingye Apartment of Xi’an Hi-tech Industries Development Zone; The other is located at No. 60 Weiyi Road, Xi’an Hi-tech Industries Development Zone, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province (in the Yuhua Industrial Park), covering an area of 40 mu, including production workshops and five-story staff quarters (see Figures 7, 8).

57

designated positions and pay booth fees to market manager without undertaking the construction cost. Moreover, they signed short-term contracts with the market and pay booth fees every half a year. Therefore, the demolition has little impact on them. The similar market can be found in Hujiazhuang, 500m away from former market, Yuhuazhai Community, 2km away from former market; hence, tenant is able to find suitable place nearby to operate continuously; the market owner can obtain monetary compensation of market construction and booth construction.

(6) Tenants in Fenghui Apartment all signed short-term contracts with landlord, and they will negotiate the payment time for rent, which are usually one or three months. Therefore, demolition has little impact on tenants, and they can find another place to live. The owner of Huifeng Apartment can receive monetary compensation in one time in accordance with the evaluated price given by the evaluation company. Dazhai Road: According to the requirement of municipal government and the working arrangement of District Committee and Government, as a village team to be constructed as “Quality Xi’an” of Xi’an City, Erfuzhuang will start its reconstruction in 2018, displacement and resettlement in 2019.

VII. Conclusions and Suggestions 1. Conclusion

78

(1) Land acquisition work of the subproject in this monitoring was carried out in an orderly manner, and was in strict accordance with the unified compensation standards for land acquisition and demolition, which ensures that the legal rights and interests of the masses were not infringed. Regulating demolition behavior, reducing demolition disputes, maintaining harmony and stability can ensure the openness and transparency of demolition, thus realizing the legal demolition, transparent demolition and harmonious demolition. Up to 31 Jan, 2019, land acquisition involved in the subprojects of this monitoring has been completed basically, housing demolition work involved has been basically completed, and various construction works are being proceeded orderly. (2) Relevant responsible institutions of various subprojects are complete with clear assignment of responsibility and also boast prefect system and high-quality personnel; meanwhile, the leader groups have been established for various subprojects with detailed working division and responsibility definition. During the implementation period, different public participation activities have been convoked for various subprojects in accordance with actual demands, and wide discussion on compensation standard and policy as well as resettlement methods has been carried out with relocated people, and their suggestions were also collected. Among them, for the subprojects, we formulated the acquisition compensation scheme and preferential measures that comply with the willingness of most relocated households according to the actual situation during the acquisition process, which ensures the smooth proceeding of the acquisition work. (3) The principle of public participation has been fully implemented and the interests of vulnerable groups and women are guaranteed. (4) During implementation process of each subproject in the monitoring, no complaints have been received, and no petition arising from land acquisition and demolition occurred. It shows that the masses are satisfied with land acquisition and demolition work of the project. 2. Suggestions The monitoring and consultation obtained the great support of Xi’an Urban and Rural Construction Commission, Xi’an Urban Infrastructure Construction Investment Group Co., Ltd. and various responsible departments in

79

administrative districts of subprojects, which ensured the smooth implementation of projects. Apart from expressing our appreciation to relevant institutions, following suggestions are proposed for future land acquisition and demolition: (1) Accelerate the efficiency in handling land acquisition procedure and land use certificate. According to relevant national policies, land acquisition must be conducted strictly conforming to the process. Therefore, efficiency of handling land acquisition procedure is suggested to be accelerated to legalize the land use, so as to provide legal protection for the smooth completion of land acquisition and demolition and following implementation of engineering construction. (2) Timely and sufficient payment of compensation for affected people is undoubtedly the key point and basic work for land acquisition and demolition. However, the implementation of other supporting policies should not be ignored. For example, some resettlement households actively coordinate with project construction and move to new houses timely, but backward construction of roads, water, electricity and other supporting facilities bring about difficulties to the household. The project office is suggested to investigate these possible situations and coordinate with relevant departments for implementing compensation policy as soon as possible. (3) It is suggested the project implementation unit should avoid significant changes during design and construction period, and maintain the consistency and stability of the project, so as to avoid repeated works. (4) Avoid data advancement during data summarization. Conclusion, analysis and evaluation of working progress should be made objectively in accordance with actual impacts, so as to avoid passiveness. (5) Enhance the filing for resettlement people. Pay attention to preservation of relevant materials in the resettlement process and establish archives for land acquisition and demolition. Special personnel should be designated for archive management, so as to provide basic materials for completion acceptance and monitoring evaluation. (6) Continuously strengthen the supports for vulnerable groups and resettlement people and further improve and strictly implement recovery programs.

80

(7) Continuously improve public participation in project implementation period, and ensure the transparent and convenient ways for appeal and complaint.
