RECORD OF CHANGES TO THE PROJECT ADMINISTRATION MANUAL 66 APPENDIX: Environmental Management Plan Project Administration Manual Purpose and Process The project administration manual (PAM) describes the essential administrative and management requirements to implement the project on time, within budget, and in accordance with the policies and procedures of the government and Asian Development Bank (ADB). The PAM should include references to all available templates and instructions either through linkages to relevant URLs or directly incorporated in the PAM. The executing agency, Hunan Provincial Housing and Urban–Rural Development Department, and implementing agencies (Changning City Government, Dong'an County Government, Guiyang County Government, Hengshan County Government, Hengyang County Government, Lanshan County Government, Leiyang City Government, Lengshuijiang City Government, Yongzhou City Government, Zixing City Government) are wholly responsible for the implementation of the ADB-financed project, as agreed jointly between the borrower and ADB, and in accordance with the policies and procedures of the government and ADB. ADB staff is responsible for supporting implementation including compliance by executing and implementing agencies of their obligations and responsibilities for project implementation in accordance with ADB's policies and procedures. At loan negotiations, the borrower and ADB shall agree to the PAM and ensure consistency with the loan agreement. Such agreement shall be reflected in the minutes of the loan negotiations. In the event of any discrepancy or contradiction between the PAM and the loan agreement, the provisions of the loan agreement shall prevail. After ADB Board approval of the project's report and recommendation of the President (RRP), changes in implementation arrangements are subject to agreement and approval pursuant to relevant government and ADB administrative procedures (including the Project Administration Instructions) and upon such approval, they will be subsequently incorporated in the PAM. I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. Rationale 1. The Xiangjiang River and its watershed are part of the larger Dongting Lake watershed. Both watersheds are integral elements of the downstream Yangtze River watershed. The Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) covers nine provinces and two specially administered cities in the Yangtze River Basin. It accounts for over 40% of the PRC’s population and has 40% of the freshwater resources. It also serves as the drinking water resource for 400 million people, provides 60% of the total fisheries production, has 20% of the total wetland area, and contributes about 45% of the PRC’s economic output. The PRC’s YREB Development Plan, 2016–2030,1 stipulates the prioritization of ecological protection and promotion of green development as the guiding principle for the YREB development. As upstream watersheds, the Xiangjiang River and Dongting Lake play a pivotal role in the water quality of the Yangtze River watershed and in the general maintenance of healthy rivers and waterways. Therefore, the Xiangjiang River watershed is a key water resource in the overall strategic planning for water security in the Yangtze River, and its ecological improvement in turn promotes ecosystem restoration, environmental protection, and water resources management of the YREB and its watersheds. 2. The Xiangjiang River watershed has a total area of about 94,660 square kilometers, with approximately 90% of it located in Hunan and the remaining 10% located in the Guangxi Province. The economic activity and expansion of the human-made surroundings have extensively developed the Xiangjiang River watershed. By 2017, approximately 61% of Hunan’s total population, or about 25.1 million people, lived within the watershed. The total gross domestic product for the Xiangjiang River watershed in 2017 was estimated to be 75% of the overall total gross domestic product of Hunan Province. The rapid economic growth experienced countrywide from the mid-1980s until the present, coupled with inadequate environmental protection, contributes to the deterioration of the environment and the increased pollution in Hunan and the Xiangjiang River watershed. By 2000, the surface water of the Xiangjiang River, which met class III quality or better, was less than 70% along the entire river system.2 Based on the PRC drinking water code, water along most reaches of the Xiangjiang River did not meet the standards to be used as a source for raw water. The pollution in the Xiangjiang River had negative impacts on living standards and the health of residents living around the river. The pollution was recognized by the government as a threat to the long-term sustainable growth of industry along the river, an impediment to the maintenance of overall river health, a material risk to the strategic supplies for downstream drinking water, and an unacceptable visual intrusion on the watershed's well-recognized cultural attraction. 3. The main sectors responsible for the Xiangjiang River watershed’s environmental degradation are industry, agriculture, and domestic (with domestic sources being primarily municipal wastewater and MSW). In the period 2000–2017, the government adopted an integrated approach to pollution control to protect water quality in the Xiangjiang River watershed. In 2011, the Hunan Provincial Government (HPG) initiated a major program of environmental pollution control to target the major pollution sources.3 Subsequent environmental regulations and incremental enforcement in Hunan have reduced the impacts from industrial and agricultural 1 Government of the PRC. 2016.

  • Study on the Evolution of Spatial Forms of Rural Settlements in Xiangjiang River Basin
    2019 International Conference on Informatics, Control and Robotics (ICICR 2019) ISBN: 978-1-60595-633-6 Study on the Evolution of Spatial Forms of Rural Settlements in Xiangjiang River Basin Fang LI and Shao-yao HE* School of Architecture, Hunan University, China *Corresponding author Keywords: Xiangjiang River Basin, Rural settlement, Space Form, Evolution. Abstract. The spatial pattern of rural settlements in the Xiangjiang River Basin has changed greatly in both boundary and internal spatial forms. The spatial form of rural settlements has expanded or abruptly evolved, and the internal pattern has changed to varying degrees. This is the natural environment at that time. The economic environment and the social environment are closely related. This paper summarizes the rural settlements and takes the Xiangjiang River Basin as an example. Through the literature analysis and case analysis method, the general situation of the Xiangjiang River Basin and the spatial form of rural settlements are studied. At the same time, the evolution of the settlement form of the Xiangjiang River Basin is quantified. The analysis shows the diversified settlement evolution mechanism. Finally, it discusses the future of the rural settlements in the Xiangjiang River Basin and hopes to promote the sustainable development of the village. Preface Compared with foreign countries, the domestic eye corners of rural settlements and their spatial forms are relatively late. Since the introduction of the relationship between rural settlements and the natural environment in China in the 1930s, Lin Chao studied the classification of rural settlements in 1938 and pointed out that land is closely related to the development of rural settlements.

    lope"'' zG I''C. G,. a i 9 t it Japanese Monograph No. 76 AUG : t ACthSI NO P0 R~si71{vr ~J AIR OPERATIONS IN THE CHINA AREA July 1937- August 1945 PREPARED BY HEADQUARTERS, USAFFE AND EIGHTH U.S. ARMY (REAR) DISTRIBUTED BY OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF MILITARY HISTORY DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY PREFACE This monograph is one of a series prepared under instructions from the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers to the Japanese Government (SCAPIN No. 126, 12 Oct 1945). The series covers not only the operations of the Japanese armed forces during World War II but also their operations in China and Manchuria which preceded the world conflict. The original studies were written by former officers of the Japanese Army and Navy under the supervision of the Historical Records Section of the First (Army) and Second (Navy)De- mobilization Bureaus of the Japanese Government. The manuscripts were translated by the Military Intelligence Service Group,G2,Head- quarters, Far East Command. Ebctensive editing was accomplished by the Japanese Research Division of the Office of the Military Histo- ry Officer, Headquarters, United States Army Forces, Far East and Eighth United States Army (Rear). The writers were handicapped in the preparation of the basic manuscript by the non-availability of many operational records which are normally employed as source material in this type of study. Many official orders, plans and unit journals were lost during operations or were destroyed at the cessation of hostilities. A particular handicap has been the lack of strength reports. Most of the impor- tant orders and other information sources, however, have been recon- structed from memory and while not textually identical with the o- riginals are believed to be accurate and reliable.
