World Bank Document E2008 V3 China Public Disclosure Authorized Guiyang-Gangzhou Railway Project Environmental Impact Assessment Executive Summary October, 2008 Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Guiyang-Guangzhou Railway Project Environmental Impact Assessment Executive Summary INTRODUCTION Background This document summarizes the environment impact assessment of the Guiyang-Guangzhou Railway Project in China, highlighting the main issues and conclusions of the environment impact assessment and environment management plan of the project. According to both Chinese Environmental Assessment laws and regulations and the World Bank’s Operational Policy 4.01 Environmental Assessment, the proposed project is Category A for environmental assessment purposes, due to the scale and significance of potential environmental and social impacts and the sensitivity of the project areas. Therefore, a full environmental assessment report was required. The Ministry of Railways (MOR) retained China Railway Second Survey and Design Institute (SSDI) and China Railway Fourth Survey and Design Institute (FSDI) for EA preparation. Both institutes hold Class A environmental impact assessment accreditation from the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP). SSDI is responsible for the section Guiyang to Hezhou section (K0+000-K597+650), and FSDI is responsible for the section Hezhou to Guangzhou section (K567+200-K823+513). Accordingly, two separate EIA reports were prepared following relevant provisions specified in Chinese EA laws/regulations and technical guidelines, as well as World Bank safeguard policies. A Consolidated EA and Environmental Management Plan (EMP) 1 in English were prepared by SSDI to synthesize the two separate EIA reports. This Executive Summary is based on these reports, as well as feasibility studies carried out for the project, and karstic cave assessment and cultural resources surveys. The EA reports and EMP were submitted to the World Bank for review and they conform fully to Bank policy guidelines regarding environmental and social issues. All above reports have been made available in China and in the Public Information Center (INFOSHOP) of the World Bank. The Chinese EA reports were approved by Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) on May 14, 2008. As designed, the project (i) incorporated effective analysis of alternatives and engineering measures (76% of the line as tunnels and bridges) to maximize project benefits and eliminate significant grade impacts that would have occurred; (ii) will not adversely affect or convert critical natural habitats; (ii) will not adversely affect resources of high cultural value; (iii) will not negatively affect ethnic minorities but rather provide opportunities for their own development; (iv) will have minimized the need for resettlement and will provide adequate and just compensation and income restoration for affected peoples; and (v) includes a framework for addressing environmental and social issues during construction and operation of the project. Project Objectives The Guiyang-Guangzhou Railway Line (GRL) will be an important interregional railway corridor, passing through three provinces (Guizhou, Guangxi and Guangdong). The line is part of the MOR’s network 1 New Guiyang-Guangzhou Railway Line Project, Environmental Impact Report, Environmental Management Program; China Railway Eryuan Engineering Group Go., Ltd., GHPZ JZ No.3210, China Railway Siyuan Survey and Design Group Co., Ltd., GHPZ JZ No.2605, June 2008. expansion plan. This line will provide a short and direct linkage of the relatively less-developed provinces of northwestern China with the Pearl River Delta region, one of the most developed areas in China. It will access Sichuan Province, Chongqing and northwest China via the Sichuan-Guizhou Railway Line and Lanzhou-Chongqing Railway Line to the north; link to Yunnan Province via the Guiyang-Kunming Railway Line in the west; stretch to Pearl River Delta, the developed areas of Hong Kong and Macao, as well as the Economic Zone in Fujian and Taiwan, via the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Passenger Dedicated Railway Line and the Coastal Express Rail Link in the south; and reach the coastal areas of Guangxi and Hainan via the Hengyang-Nanning Railway Line and Litang-Zhanjiang Railway Line. It will be a high standard inter-regional trunk railway line for both passenger and freight transportation, with passenger transportation as a priority. Environmental Assessment Process and Legal Framework A full Environmental Assessment (EA) was carried out following terms of reference agreed with the World Bank. The terms of reference were discussed in public meetings. The project triggered the following World Bank policies: Environmental Assessment; Natural Habitats; Indigenous Peoples; Involuntary Resettlement; and Physical Cultural Resources. Compliance with these policies, and the World Bank’s disclosure of information policy, is summarized in Table 1. The project is also in full compliance with environmental policies and regulations in China, summarized in Table 2.

  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

  • Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor?
    DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2015.16.8.3579 Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor? RESEARCH ARTICLE Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor? Wei Deng1&, Long Long2&*, Xian-Yan Tang3, Tian-Ren Huang1, Ji-Lin Li1, Min- Hua Rong1, Ke-Zhi Li1, Hai-Zhou Liu1 Abstract Geographic information system (GIS) technology has useful applications for epidemiology, enabling the detection of spatial patterns of disease dispersion and locating geographic areas at increased risk. In this study, we applied GIS technology to characterize the spatial pattern of mortality due to liver cancer in the autonomous region of Guangxi Zhuang in southwest China. A database with liver cancer mortality data for 1971-1973, 1990-1992, and 2004-2005, including geographic locations and climate conditions, was constructed, and the appropriate associations were investigated. It was found that the regions with the highest mortality rates were central Guangxi with Guigang City at the center, and southwest Guangxi centered in Fusui County. Regions with the lowest mortality rates were eastern Guangxi with Pingnan County at the center, and northern Guangxi centered in Sanjiang and Rongshui counties. Regarding climate conditions, in the 1990s the mortality rate of liver cancer positively correlated with average temperature and average minimum temperature, and negatively correlated with average precipitation. In 2004 through 2005, mortality due to liver cancer positively correlated with the average minimum temperature. Regions of high mortality had lower average humidity and higher average barometric pressure than did regions of low mortality.
