iii OBJECTIVES OF RESETTLEMENT PLAN AND DEFINITION OF RESETTLEMENT TERMINOLOGY This Resettlement Plan (RP) is prepared according to the Laws and Regulations of PRC and Yunnan Province, as well as the resettlement policy of ADB. The purpose of this document is to set out an action plan for the Resettlement and Rehabilitation of the Project Affected Persons (PAPs) to ensure that they will benefit from the project and their standards of living will improve or at least be restored after the project impact. This RP is a legally binding agreement between the Executing Agency (EA) - Yunnan Provincial Communication Department (YRCD) and both the ADB and the local government offices involved with resettlement implementation, whereby YRCD will take overall responsibility to ensure the action plans are carried out and adequately financed. Acquisition of land and other assets for the project will adversely affect the livelihood of persons who live, work or earn their living on the land that will be acquired for the project. PAPs are defined as those persons whose income or livelihoods will be adversely affected by land acquisition for the project. PAPs include the following categories: a) persons who have a title, right, interest, in structures (houses, enterprises, shelters, or public buildings), land (including residential, agricultural, and grazing land) or any other asset acquired or possessed, in full or in part, permanently or temporarily; b) persons who use the structures, land or assets described above; or persons whose business, occupation, work, place of residence or habitat adversely affected; or c) persons whose standard of living is adversely affected as a consequence of land acquisition and/or resettlement activities. A definition of PAPs is given below: Definition of the PAPs: "Affected Persons" means persons who on account of the execution of the project had or would have their: a) standard of living adversely affected; or b) right, title or interest in any house, land (including premises, agricultural and grazing land) or any other fixed or movable asset acquired or possessed, temporarily or permanently; or c) business, occupation, work or place of residence or habitat adversely affected, and "Affected Person" means individually all those who qualify as "Affected Persons." PAPs may be individuals or legal entities such as a company, a public institution. Definition of PAPs is not limited or restricted to their legal registration or permission to live or conduct business in the affected location, or their title to property. Thus it includes: a) all those affected by the project regardless of their legal rights or absence thereof to the assets being taken; and b) persons without residential permit to live in a certain area. Therefore all such persons who are affected will need to considered and recorded as PAPs, regardless of their legal connection to assets land or location. If there is more than one person, family or household using or holding a title to the same land or property that is acquired, they will be compensated and rehabilitated according to the loss they suffer, their rights, and the impact on their living standards. The definition of PAPs is linked directly to the adverse effect of the project, regardless of legal rights title or interest. All PAPs are entitled to the improvement or at least restoration of their standards of living, and compensation for the material losses they suffer. Compensation for assets will cover replacement cost. No deductions or discounts will be applied to the compensation amount for

I depreciation or other reasons. All PAPs deriving an economic benefit from the affected land and property are entitled to receive rehabilitation benefits in addition to the compensation for their assets lost. Those PAPs without title, authorization or legal permission to reside, conduct business, cultivate land or construct structures are eligible for rehabilitation of their livelihoods and compensation for their assets on an equal footing with those with formal legal title, authorization or permission to the assets. The term RESETTLEMENT includes: a) the relocation of living quarters; b) finding acceptable new employment for those whose jobs are lost or severely affected; c) restoration (or compensation) of affected productive resources such as land, workplaces, trees and infrastructure; d) restoration of other adverse effects on PAPs' living standards (quality of life) through land acquisition, indirect resettlement impacts or other project impacts; e) restoration of or compensation for affected private and public enterprises; f) restoration of adversely affected on cultural or common property. Rehabilitation means: the restoration of the PAPs' resource capacity to continue with productive activities or lifestyles at a level higher or at least equal to that before the project. The objective of this RAP is to provide a plan for the resettlement and rehabilitation of the PAPs so that their losses will be compensated and their standards of living will be improved or at least restored to the pre-project levels in a sustainable manner. Affected productive resources of businesses, enterprises (including shops) and public facilities will also be improved or at least restored to their pre-project levels.

2 1 Generals

1.1 Project Background 1.1.1 Existing conditions The Zhe-Gan Railway runs within Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Hunan provinces, starting in the east from Hangzhou, Yiwu, Jinhua, Shangrao, Hengfeng, Guixi, Yingtan, Xiangtang, Pingxiang to Zhuzhou in the west, totally 942.648km long. This railway connects the Hu-Hang Railway, Xuan-Hang Railway and Xiao-Yong Railway at its east end, and links the Jing-Guang Railway and Xiang-Qian Railway at its west end. It runs across the Jing-Jiu, Ying-Xia, Wan-Gan, Heng-Nan and Jin-Wen railways. The Zhe-Gan Railway serves for passengers and goods transportation between the East China Region, South China Region and Southwest China Region, and is the busiest railway trunk connecting the east and west of China and the important component of the "8 -Longitudinal-plus-8-Transverse Railway Network" and the "4-Longitudinal- plus-4-Transverse Express Railway Network" of China. The Railway is under the jurisdiction of three railway bureaus, i.e., Shanghai, Nanchang and Guangtie Railway Group, respectively managing the railway section KO+000- K324+531.59 (324.634km long, by Hangzhou Branch of Shanghai Railway Bureau), railway section K324+531.59 K889+670 (563.138km long, by Nanchang Railway Bureau) and railway section K889+670-K944+546 (54.876km long, by Changsha Company of Guantie Group). From Hangzhou to Zhuzhou, the Zhe-Gan Railway has 111 railway stations (including six complex railway stations at Hangzhou, five at Yingtan, and two at Zhuzhou), 42 railway stations under the management of Shanghai Bureau, 62 under Nanchang Bureau and 7 under Guantie Group. Along the railway length, there are four key passenger stations (i.e., Hangzhou, Jinhuaxi, Yingtan, and Zhuzhou), two marshalling stations (i.e., Yingtandong and Xiangtangxi) and one regional station (Jinhuadong). 1.1.2 Necessity of of railway electrification The traveling speed-raising of the Zhe-Gan Railway by electrification has great profound significance not only in the state's energy policy adjustment and energy source restructuring, lowering of environmental pollution, improving environmental quality, but also in self-development of railway transprtation industry, enhancing the capability of trunk railway in the network, increasing trunk railway quality, raising train traveling speed, updating the service level, strengthening the competitiveness in transportation market, decreasing the operation cost, increasing the benefit of railway transportation and realizing the sustainable development of the railway transportation industry. At the same time, the scientific and technological level in railway transportation industry can be heightened and modernization of railway service can be promoted. Therefore, it is of great importance to raise the transportation speed of the Zhe-Gan Railway by electrification. A. Necessary for state's energy policy adjustment and energy source restructuring energy utilization Taking electricity as driving power can facilitate using of wide range of natural resources, which enable the state to use the energy in an economically rational way, and is favorable to realize common-sharing of resources and optimum distribution of resources. This can avoid additional long-distance transportation cost caused by oil consumption of railway itself, avoid the non-normal oil loss in storage and transportation, thus, reducing the operational cost of railway operation. This will safeguard the energy supply and prevents the impact of oil price rise caused by the international oil price escalation, thus, getting rid of the impact of oil crisis and obviating the risk. This is also beneficial in take the full advantages of the electric facilities along the railway route and in solving the environmental pollution caused by burning of diesel oil, thus, promoting the environment-friendly development of energy industry. 3 Therefore, rebuilding of the Zhe-Gan Railway by electrification fully reflects the state's energy policy, coincides with the state's orientation in energy development, benefit implementation the of sustainable development strategy of the country. It is the need for state's energy policy adjustment and energy source restructuring energy utilization. B. Favorable to rational distribution of electrified railways The China's Main Technical Policy for Railways points out that electric power driving method should be adopted along the main busy trunk railways, express railway, specific coal-transporting railways, and railways on long inclined slopes and in long tunnels. As a key trunk railway, the electrification of Zhe-Gan Railway will contribute to realizing of electrified railway network in Each China. C. Necessary for improving operational conditions and shooting at even greater market shares The rebuilding of Zhe-Gan Railway by electrification will be favorable to raising passenger the train traveling speed, and arranging passenger trains arriving destinations half with a day, and will improve the service condition to a great extent by which the passengers cargo and owner can be satisfied in traveling speed requirement, cosiness, quickness keeping and on schedule, thus, well positioning the railway service in the future transportation market. D. Necessary for raising traveling speed, lowering operation cost and increasing benefits The Zhe-Gan Railway will not only increase the traveling speed, greatly improve the conditions of attracting passengers, satisfy the demand of transportation volume and enhance the competitiveness in transportation market, but also expedite the circulation of the locomotives and compartments, thus, lowering the operation cost and the benefit of the railway utilization. E. Favorable for reducing pullution to environment and improving environmental conditions After electrification of the railway, except few internal-combustion engine locomotiveswhich will be used for local branch railways, the Zhe-Gan Railway will totally adopt electric-power driven locomotives, which will greatly reduce the pollutant emmision volume. It is estimated that the quantity of emitted smoke volume will be reduced by 38.6%, S02 by 26.7%, NOX by 87% and CO by 48.5%. The energy consumption will be reduced by 250500 tons, and the local environment along the railway routes and around the machine repair spots will be definitely improved. 1.1.3 Significance of the project The Zhe-Gan Railway is the core section of the Shanghai - Kunming Passage, and serves for most of passengers and goods exchange between the East China Region, South China Region and Southwest China Region. The southwestern China has abundant unique resources and is a labor souse concentrated area, thus, having strong economic complementary effect with the East China Region. Along with implementation Western-Development of Strategy, the social and economic deveopment in the western China has geared up on quick track, the connection between the east and west will be more and more tightend and frequent. The Zhe-Gan and Jing-Jiu railways will jointly provide a simpliest and quickest in-land passage between the Yangtze River Delta and Zhujian River Delta, will provide a and good condition for enhancing the connection between the two major economic developed areas. Meanwhile, the Zhe-Gan Railway is also one of the key passages in the East China Region. Therefore, the Zhe-Gan Railway plays an important role in connecting the eastern and western and southern China as well as the internal connection of East China Region, promoting the economic development in the areas along the railway routes, and

4 implementing Western-Development Strategy and shortening the gaps between the eastern and western China. The Zhe-Gan Railway is the important component of the "8-Longitudinal-plus -8-Transverse Railway Network" and the "4-Longitudinal- plus-4-Transverse Express Railway Network" of China. It connects quite a few of trunk and branch railways and is the most important busy railway running across the eastern and western China on the south of the Yangtze River, playing an important role in communicating the East China with Mid China Region, South China Region and Southwest China Region. The Zhejiang Section of the Zhe-Gan Railway is the only railway passage of Zhejiang Province to Fujian Province and Jiangxi Province as well as to the Mid-China Region and Southwest China Region. It is also the key component of the City-to-City Express Railway Network in the Yangtze River Delta. Upon completion of the electrification of Zhe-Gan Railway the traveling speed and cargo capacity of the Railway will be greatly increased. The project is in coincident with the state's policy of energy restructuring and sustainable development strategy, and will promote the social and economic development of Zhejiang Province. 1.2 Project Design and Design Approval The feasibility study report of the project had been completed by March 2002 and was examined at mid March same year by Planning Department and Engineering Appraisal Center of Ministry of Railways.

A total of 12187.9 mu of various kinds of lands will be requisitioned, including 8600.5 mu of farmland, 2218.9 mu of woodlands, 1300.8 mu of building lands, 69.9 mu of unused lands. The project will temporarily ocuupy 3177.2mu lands, including 2276.6 mu of farmland, 614.8 mu of woodlands, 276.3 mu f building lands and 9.5 mu of unused lands. A total of 422017m2 houses will be relocated, they belong to 5277 PAPs of 1421 households in 70 administrative villages of 46 towns (townships/ street communities/ farms/ development zones), including 262491m 2 of brick-concrete houses, 145806m2 of brick-wood houses, 13529m 2of clay-wood houses and 191 m2 of simple houses. In addition, the project will also affect 87137 trees scattered in the project affected areas and a few sppecial items. 1.5 Measures To Alleviate Project Impacts 1.5.1 In project planning and design stage The project construction will certainly cause land requisition, house relocation and inhabitant displacement, and will unavoidably affect the existing living and production conditions of the local inhabitants. During project planning and design stage, the designer and project owner have envisaged some measures to alleviate project impacts to local social and economic conditions, including: A. In design scheme optimization and comparison, due considerations have been made in project impacts to local social and economic conditions and the project impacts were taken as key factors in the optimization and comparison of the design scheme. B. In order to reduce the quantity of requisitioned land and number of displaced inhabitants, the designer follows the principle of "keeping the prject site away from the densely populated area and reduce quantity of house relocation where possible, and minimizing the area of requisitioned land and farmland as well". C. Efforts were made to optimize the construction design, shorten the construction period, and reasonably schedule the house demolishing and rebuilding and construction time. 1.5.2 In project implementation stage A. Enhance the public participation mechanism. Before project construction, public notices were distributed, stating the construction commencement date, and planned construction schedules, and publicizing the compensation criteria for resettlement, house relocation and land reuisition. This is aiming at receiving the public supervision of the project affected sites. B. Adopt dust-reducing measures. In order to keep the project construction sites in a clean and neat environment condition and to reduce the impact of construction ot the surroundings, water spraying for preventing dusts from the construction access roads in the population densed areas in those days with fine weather and wind. The The contractors are required to timely remove the excavated soil and rock through the well-planned mucking

7 routes, prevent overloading of the vehicles and adopt measures to avoid rock and soil spilling out of the vehicles along the access roads. C. Treatment of wastes produced at construction sites. As the project construction period is long, there will be a large number of construction staff and workers, and a large quantity of living rubbish and wastes of various kinds will be produced at the construction sites, the project owner and contractors should timely clean off the rubish and wastes according to the local environmental and sanitation authorities so as to keep the sites clean and prevent epidemics.

D. During project construction, the local construction materials should be first adopted and the local transportation service and labors should be used first so far as technically feasible, so that the PAPs can be benefited from the project construction. 1.5.3 In resettlement action planning and implementation stage In case when the house relocation and land requisition are unavoidable, the following measures should be adopted to reduce the project impact ot the local conditions. A. Strengthening the basic date collection, in-depth analysis on the existing and future development of the local social and economic conditions, and an operatable RAP should be worked out with due consideration of the local reality, so as to safeguard that the living standard of the PAPs will not be lowered as a result of the project construction. B. Enhance the internal and external monitoring and establish the effective message feedback mechanism and channels. Efforts should be made to shorten the information handling circle to ensure the problems encountered to be handled in time. C. Effective measures should be adopted by the contractors to minimize the project construction ot the local production system. 1.6 Project Schedule

According to the general project schedule, the project construction commenced on Feb.28th 2004. The planned construction period is about four years, in which 20 months will be for the speed-raising works (completed in Oct. 2005) and 14 months for electrification works (completed in Dec. 2006). According to the general project schedule, the preparatory work for resettlement implementation has been completed and the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) prepared in the light of the World Bank guideline will be submitted in March 2004 to the World Bank for appraisal. The resettlement implementation started in Feb. 2004. The official formalities for land requisition, house relocation and inhabitant displacement are underway now and the resettlement work are planned to complete before Jun. 2005, and the monitoring and evaluation on the land requisition, house relocation and inhabitant displacement will be followed according to the World Bank requirements. 1.7 Preparation for Resettlement, Monitoring and Evaluation 1.7.1 Breakdown of affected inventories and supplementary survey In Jan. - Mar. 2004, under the leadership of Ministry of Railways, Shanghai Railway Bureau, Nanchang Railway Bureau and Guangtie Group, the Project Investigation Working Group was established, which is staffed by the persons from the Zhe-Gan Railway Project Command Offices of Shanghai Railway Bureau, Nanchang Railway Bureau and Guangtie Group, resettlement advisory unit, local government departments at different levels and relevant organizations along the railway (Jiangxi Section). With the technical guidance of East China Investigation and Design Institute (the resettlement advisory unit of the Project) the Working Group broke down the affected inventory indexes provided by No.2 Institute in Oct. 2003, which resulted from the survey within the scope of land requisition and resettlement as determined in the revised preliminary design, and carried out supplementary survey. In addition, based on the survey into the social and economic conditions and environmental capacity for resettlement in the project-afected areas, the resettlement 8 advasory unit provided the technical guidance and consultation in analysis on environmental capacity for resettlement and formulation of the plans of land requisition, house relocation and inhabitant displacement. The work in these two months was actively supported by the local governments at all levels as well as the village (neighborhood) committees and the PAPs. Inventory breakdown and supplementary survey cover different affected objectives including various types of requisitioned land, affected population, relocated houses and annexes, fruit trees and woods and relocated special items, etc. 1.7.2 Social and economic survey In order to analyze the project impact and formulate a feasible PAR, the project command offices of Shanghai Railway Bureau, Nanchang Railway Bureau and Gunagtie Company, resettlement consulting unit, local governments, and relevant units along the railway, conducted detailed social and economic survey at the project affected areas and host sites. The survey covered the land resources, industrial structures, economic level, income and expense condition, population, living mode, culture and custom, traffic condition, natural resources and possible future development, etc. The survey was carried out by data collectin and sampling, and based on the data and information obtained, the existing local social and economic conditions and actual living and production conditions were analyzed. 1.7.3 Resettlement plan

The resettlement planning of the project was carried out under the leadship of the local county (city,district) governments, which was based on the project affected scope, and quantity of the affected inventory. The plan was prepared based on the opinions of the villagers and resettlers and the actual conditions of the affected townships, (towns, farms, development districts) and villages. The main measures to be adopted in the resettlement are re-allocating the land within the original villages and village groups, improving the infrastructures, developing the secondary and tertiary industies, economic compensation and procuring endowment insurance. It is to carry out the principle of production-developable reseettlement so as to ensure that the host sites possess the basic materially living conditions and the potential for future development, and to combine the resettlement with the regional economic development so that the PAPs can restore their living standard or even better than that before resettlement. 1.7.4 Preparation of resettlement monitoring and evaluation The project owner has entrusted Importing and exploiting Researching Office of Xinan Jiaotong University to carry out the independent resettlement monitoring and evaluation for the project. The preparation of resettlement plan was organized by the project owner and participated by the project design unit, monitoring and evaluation unit and local governments at all levels. The monitoring and evaluation unit provided the technical consulting service, the design unit defined the resettlement scope and the local governments were responsible for formulating the specific schemes for land requisition and house relocation and inhabitant resettlement. Since March 2004, a great deal of work has been completed, including successive estaablishment of resettlement organizations, determination of project affected scope, work outline of the the RAP, survey of the project affected inventories, social and economic survey, research work for policy adoption, formulation of the resettlement schemes, cost estimate for resettlement compensation, etc.. The RAP of the project was finalized and preparation for resettlement monitoring and evaluation was completed. 1.8 Policy Frame and Targets of RAP 1.8.1 Policy frame

15 B Survey results According to the on-sopt survey, the project affected areas in Zhejiang Province are mostly the economic developed places of the individual counties (cities, districts), and the resettlers will have more chances to find job in the secondary or tertiary industries and their living standard is also rather high. The statistics of sampling survey results show that the per capita net household income of the 148 sample households is 4611 Yuan. 59.5% of the labors of the sample households are working in the non-agricultural industries, of which 34.3% work in industrial enterprises and 22.4% in commercial and trading field and food service field. Most of these households are by the sides of the towns and their income is rather higher. annual gross The income of these households includes 13.1% from farming, forestry, husbandry, and 86.9 from industry, commercial and trading and food service. It can be seen that agricultural production the is not the main source of the income and the the farmers are little on farming. living Therefore, after land requisition and house relocation, the adverse impact project to of the the local rural economy can be alleviated by rational use of the land compensation and adoption of proper resettlement measures. The project affected places in Jiangxi Province are within the economically developed areas, and the local farmers have more chance to work in the secondary and tertiary industries and enjoy a rather high living standard. The statistics of the 165 sample households shows that the per capita net income was 2424 Yuan in 2002. 26.3% of the labors in the sample households worked in non-agricultural production, in which 80% worked outside of their original rural places, and 8.2% in building industry. These households live at the areas along the railway where the economy was comparatively developed, and their income was a little more than the provincial per capita average of farmers. (The per capita net income of farmers in the province was 2334 Yuan in 2002.) 41.3% of the annual gross income of the local rural residents comes from agriculture, forestry and husbandry, 14.9% from non-agicultural production mainly in industry, commercial and trading and food service and 41.2% from labor service outside their original places. It can be seen that large percentage of local economic income is from agriculture and labor service. At present, except the elderly persons who are comparatively living on the land, the young labors are sucessively working outside of their original place and gradually get rid of the restriction of the land, thus, less reliance less and on land can be seen. As the project of linear nature has large impact the scope but impact is not too much serious, it can be predited that after land requisition relocation, and house the adverse impact of the project to the local rural economy can be alleviated rational by use of the land compensation and adoption of proper resettlement measures. The project affected places in Hunan Province are in the Chang-Zhu-Tan Golden Delta" of the province, where the local people has favorable condition to work in the secondary and tertiary industries. The per capita annual net income of the 55 sample households was 3305 Yuan, and that of those households which mainly worked in the secondary and tertiary industries had their per capita net income generally more than those families mainly involved in crop farming. Of the sample households, 92.6% of their labors worked in non-agricultural production, and among them, 31% in commercial and trading and food service and 24% industry. Most in of these households live in towns and have rather higher income. 50.9% residents's of the economic income was from commercial and trading and food service, 15.4% from and only crop farming. The labors of the project affected places working in non-agricultural production were mainly working in food service, trading, transportation and building industry andn other industries. The service field and industries have good labor absorbing capacity, the construction of the project will bring about quite large job opportunity in these field and will be the new income source of local resettlers. Therefore, the adverse impact of project land requisition will be rather small to the local rural economy. The statistics of basic living and production conditions of the project affected households is detailed in Table 2-2.

3.1 Confirmation of the scope of project impacts The scope of project impacts is confirmed according to the revised preliminary design report provided by project design unit, No. 2 Design Institute of Ministry of Railways in Oct. 2003 including route change, passenger and freight transport station and its nearby traction substation, work area and subarea of contact system. 3.1.1 Land acquisition for the project The scope of land acquisition for the project is determined on the basis of the revised preliminary design provided by the project design unit, No. 2 Design Institute of Ministry of Railways in Oct. 2003. Land requistion for the project includes roadbed of rebuilding route, drainage ditch, bridge and culvert, station and its nearby traction substation, work area and subarea of contact system. 3.1.2 Temporary land for construction Based on the revised preliminary design report provided by the project design unit, No.2 Design Institute of Ministry of Railways, in Oct. 2003, the scope of temporary land for the project is determined. The temporary land for the project includes land occupation of stocking ground, excavation waste dump, production and living area during construction and temporary road for construction, etc.. 3.2 Investigation of project impacts In order to find out the object and quantity of project resettlement and land acquisition, under the leadership of Ministry of Railways, Shanghai Railroad Bureau and Zhejiang Provincial Major Construction leading group office, a project investigation working group was formed which is composed of the construction Headquarters of Zhe-Gan-railway electrization rebuilding of the relevant railroad bureaus, project resettlement consultation unit and the local people's governments at all levels along the Zhe-Gan Railway (Zhejiang section). The project resettlement consultation unit, East China Investigation & Design Institute is responsible for the technology. From January to March 2004, on the basis of the revised report on scope of land acquisition and relocation and material index in preliminary design stage supplied by the project design unit, No. 2 Design Institute of Ministry of Railways, in Oct. 2003, decomposition and supplementary investigation was made for the material index of different affected objects such as population, building, land and speical facilities influenced by the project. The investigation method of population, land, building and its appurtenant works, sporadic and special facilitie is as follows: with reference to the revised 1/2000 route plan in preliminary stage furnished by No. 2 Design Institute of Ministry of Railways, on the basis of right limit for site division of county (city and district), township (town, street, farm and development district) and village (neighborhood committee), in combination with the revised investigation results of all kinds of material index in preliminary design stage supplied by design unit in Oct. 2003, the buildings and their auxiliary facilities are decomposed to detailed villages and households and supplementary investigation is made to the population quantities involved in house relocation, land is decomposed to detailed villages (neighborhood committees) and supplementary investigation for other kinds is made, and the special facilities are decomposed to detailed counties(city or district). Owing to the particularity of construction of this project and some modification comments and requirements for the revised preliminary design results the local people's governments at all levels along with the railway and resettlers put forward, the construction unit and design unit of the project and local people's governments are at present negotiating, communicating and linking up. The design unit is also revising the design schemes to result in corresponding changes in the scope of land acquisition therefore and moreover pile-fixing 20 and lofting hasn't been made on-situ for most of scope of land acquisition.Accordingly, there will be some changes to certain extent for the material index of project impact in impelementation stage based on the revised preliminary design results. To confirm accurately each material index of project impacts, in next stage the building unit, construction unit, the liability unit appointed by the governments along with the railway and the objects (village and household) whose land will be requisitioned and resettled will be organzied to jointly take part in field measurementand checking of all material index of land quantities of all kinds and relocated structures in the scope of land acquisition and it is necessary for all parties to sign and approve. 3.3 Material index of project impacts According to field investigation statistics, land acquisition of all kinds for this project is 26668.3 mu totally, including 18666.8 mu of farmland, 418.3 mu of gardenplot, 4057.1 mu of woodland, 3297.9 mu of construction land and 228.4 mu of unused land, temporary land occupation of all kinds is 6438.6 mu, among them farmland 4820.2 mu, gardenplot 84.9 mu, woodland 1017.9 mu, construction land 463.6 mu, unused land 51.9 mu; total relocation building area of all kinds of housing is 785496m 2 involving 9401 persons of 2666 households in 194 administrative villages in 94 townships (town, street, farm and development district) among them brick-concrete buildings 508523m2 , brick-wood buildings 249782m 2 , earth/plank-wood buildings 20889m2 , simply equipped buildings 6303m2 ; in addition, 250312 sporadic trees and a few special facilities are affected. 3.3.1 Land Acquisition/occupation 3.3.1.1 Permanent land Acquisition for the project The gross land area of all kinds required to be requisitioned for this project is 26668.3 mu (among them 22339.7 mu for route, 4328.5 mu for station yard) , including farmland area 18666.8 mu (among which 14571.6 mu for route, 4095.1 mu for station yard), gardenplot area 418.3 mu (all for route), woodland area 4057.1 mu (among them 4029.1 mu for route, 28 mu for station yard) , construction land 3297.9 mu (among them 3092.5 for route, 205.4 mu for station yard) , unused land 228.4 mu (all for route) .

3.3.7 The affected facilities for production and living The rural production and living facilities affected by the project construction mainly include road of tractors, sidewalk and acequia, etc.. It has been considered in project design to take palliation and rehabititation measures, therefore, their affected conditions won't be investigated and counted. In the course of implementation, if other impacts happen, the relevant material index and treatment measures will be confirmed with the same principles and methods as this RAP. 3.4 Analysis of impacts of land acquisition on regional social economy Land acquisition of the whole Zhe-Gan Railway invovles 35 counties(cities or districts), 133 townships (towns, streets, farms or development districts) and 560 administrative villages (residents' committees) in Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Hunan provinces. The requisitioned farmland is 18666.8 mu. To analyse the impacts of land acquisition of the project on the local areas, the people concerned in the project investigation group make a thorough investigation for the existing land resources of the affected townships (towns, streets) and administrative villages and make detailed analysis for the affected extent of each village and group on the basis of material index of project impacts. It is observed after analysis that among the 560 administrative villages affected by land acquisition by this project, there are 472 villages in all whose farmland decreases below 10%. The project exerts few influences on the agricultural production of these villages. But for 88 administrative villages, their farmland decreses beyond 10% (they can be defined as the severely affected villages). The farmland per capita before land acquisition of 27 villages is less than 0.2 mu (for details, please see Table 3-14). The economic income of these villages before land acquisition derives from non-agricultural income, and so land acquisition has few inflences on their economic income. Among the rest

37 61 serverly affected villages, the farmland per capita of 29 villages after land acquisition is still over 0.5 mu (for details, see Table 3-15). The basic grain ration of each resident in these village can be guranteed through land adjustment after land acquisition and they can their agricultural continue production. After the land compensation fund is injected, as long feasible development as the measures for the second and third industry are taken to improve villagers' non-agricultural the income, the impacts caused by land acquisition can be relieved quickly. Another 32 villages will be severely affected by land acquistion since their farmland decreses beyond 10% due to land acquisition and farmland per capita after land acquisition is less than 0.5 mu (for details, see Table 3-16).

64 5 Resettlement and Rehabilitation Plan The resettlement plan for Electrification Project of Zhe-Gan Railway was prepared jointly by Ministry of Railways, project command offices of Shanghai Railway Bureau, Nanchang Railway Bureau, Guangtie Group Company, the people's governments at all levels along the railway route, as well as East China Investigation and Design Institute. The above organizations established a joint resettlement working team to plan for the project resettlement work on the basis of the survey results of project affected inventories and according to the current policies, laws and statutes and the World Bank's resettlement requirements as well as the local actual conditions. 5.1 Objectives and Tasks 5.1.1 Resettlement target As the project affected places are in the areas where the traffic condition is good and the economy is developed, particularly, the individual business households and family-based enterprises are very popular. The farmers there do not take farming as their main living means but mainly live on trading, running their own business and providing labor service. The grain production level cannot be taken as the base for determining the resettlement planning schemes. Therefore, the objective of resettlement for this project is set as follows. (1) The income per capita shall be recovered to the standard before resettement. (2) The public infrastructures, school, hospitalize, social welfare level, natural environment and traffic condition etc. shall be improved after resettlement. 5.1.2 Resettlement Task Based on the inventory survey and anayles, In the year of 2003, there are 49102 persons to be resettled or rehabilitated, in which 9401 persons will need house relocation, and 45853 persons shall be provided economic rehabilitation for their partial farmland losses (there are 6152 persons will need both house relocation and economic rehabilitation). 5.2 Resettlement Guideline and Principle 5.2.1 Resettlement Guideline The resettlement work for this project should stick on the policy that: Esteem and care for the living and production habits of the local PAPs, take full consideration of the willings of the PAPs; with due consideration of the actual conditions in the original townships (town, street committees) and villages (neighborhood committes), the rural resettlers resettled on land basis without changing the agricultural status if land is available for resettlement; based on developing the traditional crop farming and guaranteeing the basic material survival conditions of the resettlers, guide and assist the resettlers to develop the secondary and tertiary industries and to restore, improve and raise the living and production levels of the resettlers, and reach the target of prolonged social stability. 5.2.2 Resettlement Principle Under such policy, a number of resettlement and rehabilitation principles have been developed for the Project. (1) The resettlement plan will be based on detailed inventory for land acquisition and houses demolition, and adopted compensation standards and subsidies. (2) The resettlement shall be combined with the local development, resource utilization and economic growth as well as environment protection. Considering the local conditions, a practical and feasible resettlement plan should be developed to restore and improve their economic production and create basic conditions for long-term development.

65 (3) The resettlement plan should be based on the principle "Beneficial to the production and convenient for living". (4) The re-construction standard and scale shall be based with the principle of recovery to the original standard and original scale. Combining the local development, the cost for enlarging the scale, raising standard and future plan shall be solved independently by local government and relevant department. (5) Making overall plans and taking all factors into consideration, correctly handling the relations between the state, collective and individual. (6) Fully utilize local natural resource, build water conservancy facility, develop farmland, improve new land quality, and strengthen agricultural strength and make the resettler' living standard reach or exceed the original level step by step. 5.3 Overall Resettlement Scheme Construction of the project will affect a small amount of houses and land along the railway, which will not impose big impact to the original living and production system in the existing villages. Consultation meeting have been held in the affected towns, townships and villages to discuss the resettlement scheme. According to the resettler's opinions and actual situation of the project affected places, it is determined the the resettler's in the project affected places will be displaced in their original villages and communities. This can that the resettlers ensure will keep their original living and production habits, keep their custom social relationship and as before resettlement, and the resettlers can comparatively easily restore and improve their living and production level after resettlement. In order to minimize the project impact to their living and production conditions, all old houses will be demolished after construction of new houses are completed. The rural households whose houses will relocated will be be resettled in their original villages, mainly on the land base and supplemeted by production development in secondary and tertiary industries. After the economic compensation is paid to the village, the land of the village (neighborhood committees) and village groups will be re-allocated at the will of the villagers. The resettlement will be carried out on land base, and for some village groups which are comparatively serious affected by the land requisition, the basic livelihood guarantee system will be established for the farmers according to the relevant local policies so as to ensure the basic living condition of the farmers whose lands are requisitioned. 5.4 Analysis on Carrying Capacity for Resettlement 5.4.1 Natural conditions and land resources Since the project affected population will be resettled in their orginal communities, villages and the natural conditions will not be the restricting factor of carrying resettlement. capacity for The carrying capacity analysis is based on detailed village to village survey. During - Mar., 2004, Jan. arranged by Ministry of Railways, the project command offices of Railway Bureau, the Shanghai Nanchang Railway Bureau and Guangtie Group organized relevant carry out staff to a village to village survey. Through collection of local social and economic use data, land survey results, annual statistical report, and adjustable farmland possibilities affected among each village group, and verification of their current land resources, population, production, agricultural infrastructure, culture, education and sanitation, detailed carrying analysis capacity has been carried out. Based on the principle of using same dialects, ethnic having similar costumes, faciliating traffic, providing complete cultural, educational, sanitary infrastructures medical and and esteeming the resttlers' wilings. it was determined that all the population affected by the project will be resettled in their original village by moving back through adjusting land allocation and monitized compensation. After the determination was made, the Project Management Offices carried out, together with the leaders of the local townships (towns) and villages, in-depth analysis (refer to section 3.4) on the actual land

66 conditions. The analysis shows that the land resource is the constraint factor of carrying capacity only for 32 villages out of the 560 affected villages. 5.4.2 Resettlers' characteristics and relationships Among the project affected areas, the majority of affected people are Han nationality. In order that the custom of the resettlers, original personal and social relationship will not be affected to a possible ectent, and the existing distance to farmland will not be increased, the resettlers of affected villages are planned to resettled within the original villages and communities. 5.4.3 Basic Infrastructure Conditions for Production and Living (1) Traffic Condition Construction of the project will certainly affect the original traffic mode somewhat, thus, some corresponding engineering measures have been considered in the project design, which include building overpasses and intersections at main rural roads, building pedestrian overpasses or underpasses near the main road of the villages, schools, hospitals and other crowd area in order to ensure safty for people and animals. Construction of the Project will not only improve the travel of the local resident, enhance the circulation of freight and personnel, but also accelerate the development of local economy. The living envoirnment and the infrastructures of local resettlers will be upgraded after resettlement. Therefore, the traffic condition will not be a constraint factor for carrying capacity. (2) Water Supply Condition The project is located in the plain and hilly areas of Southeast China Region and Mid-China Region, where the economic and natural contions are rather good. Most of the rural residents are mainly using tap water some are using water from wells dug by themselves. As rivers run zigzag in the area and there is plenty of rainfall, water is easily available for living and production and the project construction will not affect the water use of the local residents. The water source and water quantity will not be a constraint factor to the carrying capacity. Along with the economic development in the project affected areas, the living and production conditions will be gradually improved. (3) Electric Power Supply Condition All electric power supply facilities affected by the project will be re-constructed based on the orginal standard before the project construction, so the electric power supply condition of the residents will not be affected. (4) Medical & Education Condition The medical and educational service facilities in the project affected areas will be restored based on the orginal standard before the project construction. The existing facilities in affected townships and villages could still be used. Access paths will be constructed by the Project to ensure that no any inconvenience will be created for the local people. (5) Fuel Supply The main fuel supply of the local residents is firewood collected from the nearby hills. The project land requisition will impose little impact to fuel supply of the local villages and townships . Along with construction of the project and improvement of the traffic condition, purchasing coal and other types of fuels will be more and more easy. 5.4.4 Economic Development Potential of the Affected Area In the rural areas affected by the project, farming is generally not take as the main living means, and the secondary and tertiary industries are developed and it is rich in land reserve, which leave a big development potential. In future, with improvement of transportation condition, the resource advantage and good accessibility of local areas should be fully utilized. 67 According to local conditions, various income generation opportunities should be by increasing input of developed science and improving production technical level of the masses to promote overall development in order of agriculture, forestry, sideline activities, as well trade and transportation. as industrial, 5.5 Resettlement and Rehabilitation Plan 5.5.1 Production Rehabilitation Plan During project impact survey and resettlement planning, the project owner organized the relevant units involved in the project development to hold consulting meetings with the representatives of PAPs, cardres and villagers of the project affected arears for discussing the resettlement scheme. According to the resettlement policies of the states and the provinces as well as the World three Bank requirements, and through the analysis on the carrying capacity for resettlement after land requisition for the project, it is determined that the PAPs will be resettled within their original village groups so that they can keep their original living and production ways and their social relationship will not be affected after resettlement. It is encourage the resettlers to to carry on their original job and to create conditions for developing local secondary and tertiary industries. The impact project land requisition varies with different village groups. planning team, The resettlement together with the competent departments of local governments resettlers worked out and the the production resettlement and restoration plan in light conditions of of the actual each affected village. The plans can be summaried as follows. A. For those villages which are rather seriously affected by land requisition, the land will be re-allocated within the whole village or whole village group. The compensation to standing crops will be directly paid to the land contractor, the compensation to land and resettlement will be held by the village group collectives and used for improving collective infrastructures, developing the secondary and tertiary industries, establishing the basic livelihood guarantee system or evenly distributing to the villagers of whole village or village group. However, actual use of the compensation the should be used in the way after consulting with whose land is the resettlers requisitioned and agreed at the villager representative meeting. B. For the villages where small amount of land is requisitioned or most requisitioned land is non-plowland, of the the resettlement scheme should also be discussed by the resettlers whose land is requisitioned and agreed at the villager representative meeting. Generally, the land re-allocation will not be carried out within the whole village. The compensation to standing crops will be directly paid to the land contractor, and the other compensation will be distributed and used as follows. a. If the village groups have collective land reserve, the reserved land should be allocated to the resettlers whos land is requisitioned, and the compensation to land the resettlment will be held by the village group collectives and used for improving collective infrastructures, developing the secondary and tertiary industries or evenly distributing to the villagers of whole village or village group. b. For those villages which have no or little land reserve and where land the re-allocation of is of huge amount of work and difficult in execution, loss households of the lalnd-requisitioned in the second round land contract period will be compensated, compensations and the other will be shared by the whole villagers of the village group as mentioned and used in the was above.
