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 the western region of the people's Republic of China 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 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.

1

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. During the implementation of the project, due to land requisition,demolition and urban planning adjustment, the project executing agency applied for mid-term adjustment in 2017, which was approved by ADB in January 2018. In order to ensure that the civil works of the project can be completed on time, the scope and content of the project were optimized and changed during the implementation of the project.

2

After the project was changed, the number of subproject 1 was reduced from nine to weven. The two subprojects of Rd. and Fengcheng 8th Rd. - Beichen Avenue Interchange have been cancelled, and domestic funds will be used for construction. In subproject 3, two integrated hub subprojects (Yuhuazhai and Xi’an International Trade & Logistics Park Integrated Transfer Hub Station) were cancelled, and Xigao Bus Stop and Maintenance Station was added; five multistorey parking facilities were cancelled, and Fucun East Rd. Parking Lot was added; the construction of the gas station was also cancelled with the cancellation of the hub facilities. In addition, the gas station at Mujiangwang Interchange was cancelled. Therefore, only two gas stations at Bus Stop and Maintenance Station of Xi’an North Railway Station and at Bus Stop and Maintenance Station of Xi’an Aerospace Base were constructed with ADB funds. Based on the above changes, according to the project agreement with ADB, the resettlement plan shall be updated according to the group design and detailed resettlement impact survey before the land requisition, resettlement and civil construction, and shall be approved by ADB. During the implementation of the project, the preliminary design/construction drawing design (final design) shall be carried out in accordance with the civil construction contract package. Therefore, the resettlement plan shall be carried out in accordance with the final design of each civil construction contract package and detailed resettlement survey. The Project Office has updated five resettlement plans for each subproject, which have been approved by ADB. Details are as follows: 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 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

3

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. Before June 2020, ten external resettlement monitoring reports have been submitted. So far, the resettlement houses of 29 and 10 households respectively in Xiaoyanzhuang on Keji 2nd Road. and Erfuzhuang on Dazhai Rd. have not been delivered due to the delay in the construction of resettlement houses, which means that the resettled households (39 households) are still in transitional period. Therefore, the resettlement work has not yet been completed, and may still take some time. This monitoring report is mainly to update the resettlement status of the Keji 2nd Rd. and the Dazhai Rd. subprojects, including the implementation of the urban renewal plan involved in the project and the resettlement of the affected people; the resettlement of other sub-projects has been completed and thus has no update.

I. Overall progress 1. The overall progress for road and bridge improvement subprojects is as below: (1)Kunming Road: In the mid-term adjustment, the content of the project was adjusted, changing the Kunming Rd. to an elevated expressway, which was constructed with domestic funds. It has been completed and opened to traffic on October 1, 2020. (2)Fengcheng 8th Road-Beichen Avenue Interchange: In the mid-term adjustment, the project was cancelled from this project because its construction period could not meet the requirements of the ADB project. (3) Zhuhong Road-North 2nd Ring Interchange: The original design scheme involved the demolition of Sinohydro Corporation Engineering Bureau 15 Co., Ltd.

4

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: By 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: At present, the roads within the two industrial parks (Yuhua Industrial Park and He Ping Industrial Park) involved in the construction of Dazhai Road have been fully constructed. On March 5, 2021, the Urban Renewal Work Launching Ceremony was held in the Erfuzhuang area of , and Erfuzhuang Village has been included in the urban renewal plan, while the 10 affected households have also been included the reconstruction of the area and will be resettled according to the resettlement plan for area reconstruction. So far, the resettlement site of Erfuzhuang Village has been determined as the location on the

5

south of Dazhai Rd., covering an area of 81.43 mu. The resettlement building design drawings (house types, etc.) have been solicited with seven rounds of opinions from the villagers; there are a variety of household types (e.g. 138m2, 70m2, 55m2, etc.) for choosing, with the building design drawings being further optimized according to the villagers’ opinions. On April 6, 2021, the Administrative Committee of Weilai Industrial City of Yanta District (the former Administrative Committee of Yuhua Industrial Park of Yanta District) held the Ceremony for Concentrated Start-up of Major Projects and the Groundbreaking Ceremony of the Resettlement Building for the Urban Renewal of the Erfuzhuang area, and the construction process of the resettlement community is to be implemented as soon as possible. The Weilai Industrial City of Yanta District has updated the resettlement plan as the urban renewal work starts up. According to the latest implementation plan, it is expected to complete the construction of resettlement buildings by the end of December 2022, and the relocation of Erfuzhuang Village by the end of April 2023. The ten affected households involved shall receive the transition subsidy year by year according to the contract time as before. Up to now, all transition fees for them in 2020 have been paid. They have been renting in Erfuzhuang Village and surrounding communities. Since each household can receive a transitional allowance and living allowance of about RMB 85,000 Yuan a year, with which they can fully afford the rent and there will be a balance. Their quality of life has not been deteriorated, and is in good conditions, so no one expressed their dissatisfaction with this long transition period and can accept it. (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. In 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, this comprehensive corridor is under construction, after its completion, the road construction will be started by sections. Now, part of the eastern and western end of the road has been finished, and it is fully opened to traffic in March 2019 (half road in the north). The resettlement work of staff of Xi’an International University involved in the project has been completed. The current

6

The resettlement of 29 households of Xiaoyanzhuang has been included in the urban reform plan, and is being implemented in accordance with the overall plan of the village. The entire demolition work of Xiaoyanzhuang Village had been started in May 2018, the house demolition was completed in September 2020, with the garbage clearance and the site smoothing of the resettlement land being completed. The resettlement location is now finalized after many discussions between the two village committees and villagers’ representatives, which is to the east of Jingjiu Road and north of Keji 3rd Road, covering an area of about 80mu. The design plan and the house-type matching (including 150m2, 130m2, 70m2, 65m2, etc.) for the resettlement building have been completed. The 29 households will choose the house type matching plan according to the corresponding resettlement area after the confirmation by the villager representatives. At present, the Administrative Committee of Xi’an Hi-tech Industries Development Zone (XHDZ) has identified the Public Project Construction Management Center of XHDZ as the resettlement housing construction unit for organizing and completing the company-substitute bidding for resettlement housing, and it is now in the process of plan designing of the resettlement housing construction. According to the latest implementation plan, Xiaoyanzhuang Village will be relocated by the end of December 2023. As of April 2021, 29 affected households of Keji 2nd Road are renting to live in the surrounding communities. They can fully afford the house rent during the transitional period, since they have all received a demolition compensation and resettlement payment, and there will be a balance. Their quality of life has not been deteriorated, and is in good conditions, so no one expressed their dissatisfaction with this long transition period and can accept it. 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: Due to the mid-term adjustment of the project, the XHTZ Yuhuazhai Integrated Transportation Hub and Xi’an International

7

Trade & Logistics Park Integrated Transportation Hub were cancelled and replaced with the Xigao Bus Hub and the Fifth Bus Company’s renovation project; the project eventually became three bus hubs (Bus Stop and Maintenance Station of North Railway Station, Bus Stop and Maintenance Station of Aerospace Base, and Xigao Parking Lot). 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. They are currently completed. 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. In May 2018, land acquisition and demolition involved in the project were all completed. They are currently completed. Xi’an Xigao Bus Parking Lot (Xigao Bus Hub) project is undertaken by Xi’an Xigao Bus Co., Ltd. The project is located in the west of Weiyang Rd. and south of Jingpu Rd., with a total area of 25 mu and a construction area of 6,000 m2. The 25-mu

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.

8

land used by the project is all farmland, without residential houses or enterprises. In 2003, the affected farmers who lost their land were compensated. In 2006, the land requisition was completed without any remaining problems. Xi’an Xigao Bus Co., Ltd. obtained the state-owned land use right for the land using of the project in accordance with relevant national regulations. According to the requirements of ADB, a due diligence report has been made on the Xigao Bus Hub project, which has been approved by ADB.They are currently completed. (2) Five multistorey parking garages:Due to the adjustment of the content in the middle of the project, five multistorey parking lots have been replaced with Fucun East Rd. Parking Lot and four automatic multistorey parking garages (on Liuming Rd., North Railway Station, Surveying and Mapping Institute, Xuanwu Rd.). Among them, three automatic parking garages on Liuming Rd., North Railway Station, and Surveying and Mapping Institute were completed on June 30, 2020, and the automatic parking garage on Xuanwu Rd. was completed on October 31, 2020. In accordance with the requirements of ADB, a due diligence report has been made on Fucun East Rd. Parking Lot and submitted; the report has been replied and approved by ADB, confirming the construction of an underground parking lot on Fucun East Rd.They are currently completed. (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. With the cancellation of the hub facilities, the construction of gas station was also cancelled. In addition, Mujiangwang Interchange gas station was cancelled. At present, five gas stations have been replaced with two methanol refueling stations, including: the gas station at Bus Stop and Maintenance Station of Aerospace Base, and the gas station at Bus Stop and Maintenance Station of Xi’an North Railway Station. Among them, the later one does not have the problem of land requisition, demolition and resettlement, and the problem of the former one has been completed. 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

9

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 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. According to the preliminary design plan and the optimization and changes during the project implementation period, the impact of the project’s land requisition and demolition was surveyed. The final scope affected by the project resettlement included four economic development zones (Weiyang District, , Chang’an District, Yanta District, ), six street offices, two industrial parks, Protection Office and Weiyang Daxing Office of four administrative districts in Xi’an.After implementation of the project, the project implementation agency made an inventory and record of the number and type of affected objects. 1.

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

23 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.

In 2018, the house demolition and compensation and resettlement agreements were signed with the 29 affected households, and they have moved and their houses have been demolished. These households will be included in the Xi’an Village-in-city Reconstruction Project (Shichenggaifa [2014] No. 285), and will be compensated according to the urban renewal plan and the unified village resettlement compensation, and all of the 29 households chose physical resettlement; they have reached the compensation agreements and obtained the corresponding compensation, and are currently renting out and in transitional period. Within 36 months since the date of signing the house demolition compensation and resettlement agreement, the transitional fee shall be paid with the standard of RMB 7 Yuan/m2/month and no less than RMB 2,331 Yuan/household/month, and living allowances shall be paid at the rate of RMB 300 Yuan per person per month.

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, The final confirmed address of the new plant is No.12, Zhangba 7th Road, Xi’an High-tech Industries Development Zone, Xi’an, Shaanxi Province. The corresponding formalities have been done and the

63

company built the new plant and moved equipment in. The new plant and manufacturing shops have been finished and ready to use in June 2015. The company didn’t affected by the land acquisition and house demolition in this period, there is no shutdown period for the affected employees and the company ran normally. Among them, there are 580 affected employees who have the housing problem, which is paid a close attracted from and supported by the government. The government opened a green channel for the employees’ applications for public rental housing, and gave the top priority to their application of the public rental housing in Xi’an High-tech Industries Development Zone (XHTZ Jinye Apartment, located beside the new address of the plant, which is convenient for employments’ on and off duty), 500 affected employments applied for the public rental housing efficiently (XHTZ Jinye Apartment, see Figure 3), they finished the corresponding formalities and moved in. Another 80 affected employments solved their housing problems by themselves, the housing problems of the affected employments were soon solved and their living quality was improved dramatically. In recent years, during the development process of Shaanxi Sirui Industry Co., Ltd., the Management Committee of XHTZ greatly helped the company for its development, which made the company developed quickly and growing stronger and stronger. The good industrial environment combined with the strength of company its own brought about a powerful developmental motivation. Now the company has changed its name to Shaanxi Sirui Advanced Materials Co., Ltd., which has two sites for its production and operating, one is at No.12, Zhangba 7th Road, Xi’an High-tech Industries Development Zone, Xi’an, Shaanxi Province with a floor area of 72 mu, the main properties of which are the office building and manufacturing shops (see Figure 2), another one is at No.60, Weiyi Road, Xi’an High-tech Industries Development Zone, Xi’an, Shaanxi Province (inside the Yuhua Industrial Park) with a floor area of 40 mu, including manufacturing shops and a employment’s dormitory building with five floors (see Figure 4 and 5). At present, there are two models of employment’s accommodation, one is that some employments (500 persons) rented in XHTZ Jinye Apartment, and another is that some employments (200 persons) lived in the employment’s dormitory building, so the housing problems of the affected employments are barely affected by the

64

land acquisition and house demolition. In 2018, the company achieved a 21% increase in sales revenue, surpassed CNY 480 million while achieving safety production with zero industry injury. In recent years, the company's efficiency and staff’s income are stable. Now the staff' s per capita wage reaches CNY4000-4500 /month, which is higher than before. Now, the living condition and income of the affected persons improved to some extent.

Figure 5 Staff’s dormitory in plant site of Shaanxi Sirui Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. located at the Yuhua Industry Park (2) Xi’an Nylon Products Factory is the one to be dismantled in whole. After receiving monetary compensation, In 2011, it rented a new plant area at the interchange of Dongsong Road, Dongda Sub-district, Chang’an District, Xi’an city (see Figure 6), and built a plant by itself. The floor area of the new plant area is 13 mu, two manufacturing shops, a warehouse, a staff dormitory and a dining hall have been built there, which cover an floor area of 2200 m2. Because the new plant is far away from the city area and is inconvenient, some employments resigned and the rest of them all went to work in the new plant. According to investigation, from the removal to August 2019, the company has been running all the time without cease, and was not affected, the living and work of the affected employments were not affected neither.

67

Figure 6 The picture of the new plant area of Xi’an Nylon Product Factory (3) The demolition of Dingjiaqiao Agriculture Product Market will impact 200 tenants in the market. Tenants run business at 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. On the whole, most tenants are no longer engaged in previous business activities after receiving cash compensation, and a few affected tenants are looking for new stalls for continuous operation in similar markets nearby (within communities in Hujiazhang Village 500m away from original market, and Yuhuazhai Community 2 kilometers away) without affecting their life and income. In recent years, with the implementation and initiation of city transformation plan nearby, such similar farm produce markets have been gradually reduced or replaced, of which, about 30% affected households directly gave up their business, around 40% households chose to change and select another careers; Still about 30% affected households chose to continue their original careers in Xixinzhang Village (see Figure 7), and their livelihood and income have been improved.

68

Figure 7 The picture of farm produce markets in Xixinzhang Village (4) The road construction will impact a dormitory building of Xi’an International University (XAIU) including 48 teacher households. Yuhuazhai Urban Transformation Office of Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone reaches an agreement with XAIU through negotiation that XAIU should undertake removal, transition and resettlement compensation of its employees affected by land acquisition and demolition; the settlement building shall be undertaken by the new community project implementing unit of XAIU and the number of compensated buildings should be equal to the demolished number. After the Settlement and Compensation Agreement executed by Xi’an International University and Yuhuazhai Community City Transformation Office of Gaoxin District, since July, 2014, through unified organization, arrangement and implementation, staff settlement work and properly solving problems, Xi’an International University has settled the 48 affected households of teachers and staff in the eastern and western district of newly built dependant's area (Longyunrenhe Community, see Figure 8). During the period, the life and work of affected staff have not been influenced and all households are basically satisfied with the settlement work. Of which, there are 23 faculty buildings in Longyunrenhe Community with 5 in the eastern district and 17 in the western district, all of which have 6 floors, the community environment is more beautiful

69

and livable than the original one, and the supporting facilities are more completed, property service and living condition have been improved. In August 1, 2019, the resettlement buildings that “there must be one resettled for one demolished ” as previously promised by implementation unit are still under consultation and preparation phrase without implementation and construction.

Figure 8 The picture of western district of Longyunrenhe Community (5) The land acquisition and demolition of the project will separate Xi’an Bodi School into two parts. Yuhuazhai Urban Transformation Office will build a foot bridge on the east section of Keji 2nd Road for the school, so as to connect the two campuses and ensure the personal safety of teachers, students and pedestrians as well as smooth traffic. At present, the pedestrian overpass has been built. (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. The owner of Huifeng Apartment can receive monetary compensation in one time in accordance with the evaluated price given by the evaluation company. At present, some households in original Fenghui Apartment have left Xi’an, some have found proper rental houses for living in near communities, they are now living in Longcheng· Dinagjiaqiao Community and Longchengmingyuan Community (see Figure 9).

VII. Conclusions and Suggestions 1. Conclusion (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

94

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. Along with the implementation of urban renewal project in Xi'an, the progress of the resettlement of migrants from Erfuzhuang Village has been accelerated. The 39 affected households on Keji 2nd Road and Dazhai Road are expected to be relocated by the end of December 2023, and they are now still in the transitional period at present. As of April 6, 2021, the land acquisition work involved in the subprojects of this monitoring, as well as the house demolition work involved, have been basically completed, the resettlement work of each project is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the construction is also speeding up.The location of the resettlement building of Xiaoyanzhuang Village on Keji 2nd Road has been determined, and the resettlement housing construction plan design is in progress. It is expected that the relocation will be completed in December 2023; Erfuzhuang Village on Dazhai Road has been included in the urban renewal plan by Yanta District, and the construction is being implemented. On April 6, the Weilai Industrial City of Yanta District held the Ceremony for Concentrated Start-up of Major Projects and the Groundbreaking Ceremony of the Resettlement Building for the Urban Renewal of the Erfuzhuang area, and it is expected to complete the villagers' relocation by the end of April 2023. The 39 demolished households are not engaged in agricultural production according to the monitoring, and keep the transitional living subsidies and the labor cost from out-migration work as the main sources of income, which is relatively stable.Their quality of life has not declined and is in good conditions, and they agree to this resettlement plan, did not express their dissatisfaction with this long transition period and can accept it. (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

95

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 Municipal Bureau of Housing and Urban-rural Development, Xi’an Urban Infrastructure Construction Investment Group Co., Ltd. and various responsible departments in 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) Further consultations and participation should be strengthened, and the detailed procedures and progress of urban renewa, resettlement building relocation related matters should be explained to the demolished households regularly, and the related issues of the demolished households’ concerns should be resolved; the transition subsidies should be paid in full and in time, and any changes to the resettlement plan should be duly notified and approved by the demolished households; construction of the resettlement community should be paid with more attention and accelerated, so that the demolished households can move back as soon as possible. (2) 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

96

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. (3) 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. (4) Continuously strengthen the supports for vulnerable groups and resettlement people and further improve and strictly implement recovery programs. (5) Continuously improve public participation in project implementation period, and ensure the transparent and convenient ways for appeal and complaint.
