5.3 Monitoring of immigrant living resettlement 5.3.1 Basic conditions of typical households for immigrant monitoring According to related policy guide by Asian Bank and proposals by Project Unit and village commission, we selected typical households from affected villages for monitoring: Typical households from Binzhou Lixiaohai Village are Li Zhugui, Li Yanzhen, Li Pinggui, Li Dongling and Li Chunnian (the names of the household heads); Typical households from Shanghe Tongjiadaokou Village are Xiao Yongjun, Zhang Tianfa, Xiao Zhensheng, Zhang Deqiang, Xiao Deliang, Zhang Jicheng and Wang Shizhen (the names of household heads); Typical households from Gaotang Xipu Village are Zhang Jinxiang, Zhao Chuantao, Zhao Jiarong, Yang Jinlan, Zhao Chuanwei and Zhao Chuanzheng (the names of household heads). Through household investigation, we found that, among all the typical households from the above mentioned three villages, none of them was completely depending on agricultural income as the main financial source. They were in a semi-farming status and the main household incomes came from doing casual labor jobs outside. For example, the affected villagers of Binzhou Lixiaohai Village could get jobs from the labor market of the economic development zone, with an income of RMB 40-50 yuan per man/day. The affected villagers of Shanghe Tongdaokou Village mainly engaged with construction market, working for building teams as long term or temporary labors. Most of farm works were done by women.

Suggestion: Immigrant resettlement mechanisms of all subprojects shall strengthen organization and provide necessary full-time staff to improve work efficiency in immigrant resettlement.

VIII. Conclusion and suggestions 8.1 Conclusion (1) All immigration mechanisms are clear in responsibility and good in operation, capable to fulfill their duties and tasks. (2) The related policies and compensation programs in "Immigrant Resettlement Plan" were carried out during permanent land requisition with legal and correct methods, realizing justice, fair play and publicity; compensation funds were settled timely, meeting the needs for land requisition and immigrant resettlement. (3) Up to December 15, 2007, permanent land requisition of all subprojects was completed with compensation paid. Affected villagers are widely satisfied, with their family life not affected by land requisition.
