TCE is passing through 5 counties of Changsha and Yueyang City. Area passed by TCE is rich in natural and human resources. Completion of the expresswaywill play a very important influence on social economical development, commodity inter- flowingand exchangingamong districts in Hunan Province even to the whole country. This RAP is prepared in conformitywith P.R.C Land Law, Hunan Provincial Regulations and the World Bank OperationalManual Operational Directive 4.30. The basic objectives of the RAP are to resettle PAPs suitably, let them gain benefits from the project and increase their living standards or at least restore them to the level before resettlement. During the course of collecting data and compiling the RAP, we achieved the great support of HPCSDI and CommunicationsBureaus, Land Administration Bureaus & TCE ROs at city and county level along the route. We greatly appreciatedtheir help. Objectivesof the RAP and the Definition of Resettlement Terminology This Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is prepared according to the Laws and Regulationsof P.R.C, and the Hunan Province as well as the Guidelines of the World Bank (Operational Directive for Involuntary Resettlement OD4.30). 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. 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 title, right or 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 are adversely affected; or c) persons whose standarcdsof living are adversely affected as a consequence of land acquisition. A definition of PAPs is given below: Definition of the PAPs: "Affected Persons" means persons who on account of the execution of the project hacdor 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 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 are qualified as "affected person". PAPs may be individuals or legal persons such as a company, a public institution. Definition of PAPs is not limited 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 be considered and recorded as PAPs, regardless of their legal connectionto assets, land or location. If there are 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 accordingto the loss they suffer, their rights, and the impact on their living standards. The definition of PAPs is linked directly to the adverse affect of the project, regardless of legal rights, title or interest. All PAPs are entitled to the improvementor at least restoration of their standards of living, and compensationfor the material losses they suffer. Compensationfor assets will cover replacement cost. NO deductions or discounts will be applied ito the amount for 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 permissionsto the assets. The term RESETTLEMENTincludes: a) the relocation of living quarters; b) finding acceptable new employment for those whose jobs are affected; c) restoration or compensationof affected productive resources such as land, workplaces, trees and infrastructure; d) restoration of other adverse effect on PAPs' living standards(quality of life) through land acquisition (such as the adverse effects of pollution); e) restoration of or compensation for affected private and public enterprises; and 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 stamdards of living will be improved or at least restored to the pre-project levels. To achieve these objectives, the plan provides for rehabilitation measures so that the income earning potential of individuals are restored to sustain their livelihoods. Affected productive resources of businesses (enterprises including shops) and public property. Infrastructure and cultural property will also be improved or at least restored to their pre-project levels. I I f* Contents 1. Project Background 1-11 a.

The University of Texas at Austin, 2015 Supervisor: Huaiyin Li This work is a modern history of Changsha, the capital city of Hunan province, from the late nineteenth to mid twentieth centuries. The story begins by discussing a battle that occurred in the city during the Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864), a civil war that erupted in China during the mid nineteenth century. The events of this battle, but especially its memorialization in local temples in the years following the rebellion, established a local identity of resistance to Christianity and western imperialism. By the 1890’s this culture of resistance contributed to a series of riots that erupted in south China, related to the distribution of anti-Christian tracts and placards from publishing houses in Changsha. During these years a local gentry named Ye Dehui (1864-1927) emerged as a prominent businessman, grain merchant, and community leader.

  • Surveillance of Schistosoma Japonicum Infection in Domestic Ruminants in the Dongting Lake Region, Hunan Province, China
    Surveillance of Schistosoma japonicum Infection in Domestic Ruminants in the Dongting Lake Region, Hunan Province, China Jinming Liu1*, Chunxia Zhu2, Yaojun Shi1, Hao Li1, Lanpin Wang2, Shangtian Qin2, Saie Kang3, Yanpin Huang4, Yamei Jin1, Jiaojiao Lin1 1 National Laboratory of Animal Schistosomiasis Control/Key Laboratory of Animal Parasitology, Ministry of Agriculture, Shanghai Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China, 2 Hunan Animal Disease Control Center, Changsha, People’s Republic of China, 3 Yueyang County Animal Husbandry Bureau, Yueyang, People’s Republic of China, 4 Yuanjiang Municipal Animal Husbandry and Fishery Bureau, Yuanjiang, People’s Republic of China Abstract Background: Schistosomiasis japonica is prevalent in Asian countries and it remains a major public health problem in China. The major endemic foci are the marsh and lake regions of southern China, particularly the Dongting Lake region bordering Hunan and Hubei provinces, and the Poyang Lake region in Jiangxi province. Domestic ruminants, especially bovines, have long been considered to play a major role in the transmission of Schistosoma japonicum to humans. Methods and Findings: A miracidial hatching technique was used to investigate the prevalence of S. japonicum infections in domestic ruminants and field feces collected from two towns located to the south and east of Dongting Lake, Hunan province, between 2005 and 2010. The overall prevalence of infection was not significantly reduced from 4.93% in 2005 to 3.64% in 2008, after which it was maintained at this level. Bovines comprised 23.5–58.2% of the total infected ruminants, while goats comprised 41.8–76.5%.

Hunan Research Academy of Environmental Science, Hunan Provincial Key Laboratory of Water Pollution Control Technology, 410000 Changsha Hunan, China 2. Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University United International College, 519000 Zhuhai Guangdong, China Abstract. Triarrhena lutarioriparia, a typical and most abundant macrophyte in Dongting lake wetland, was in the state of abandonment following the papermaking industry revocation in the lake basin. In order to provide scientific basis for precise management of T. lutarioriparia, the T. lutarioriparia distribution charateristics in Dongting Lake and its storage characteristics of nutrients were investigated in this study. Remote sensing interpretation results showed that the total area of T. lutarioriparia in Dongting Lake wetland was 58,450 ha, 48.31% of which distributed in South Doting Lake wetlands. The nutrients contents were significantly different in T. lutarioriparia tissues, ranking in the descending order of spikes (TN 27.90 mg/g, TP 3.46 mg/g)>leaves (TN 16.38 mg/g, TP 2.11 mg/g)>stems (TN 5.38 mg/g, TP 0.85 mg/g). The total P quantities in each T. lutarioriparia tissue were ranked in the order: stems (560.26 t)>leaves (396.52 t)>spikes (284.67 t), while the total N quantities were within the range of 2170.02~2801.3 t. It was estimated that about 7712.99 t of TN and 1241.45 t of TP were annually removed from Dongting Lake by reaping T.

    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Agriculture and Agricultural Science Procedia 1 (2010) 24–32 International Conference on Agricultural Risk and Food Security 2010 Natural Disaster Risk Assessment of Grain Production in Dongting Lake Area, China Laiyuan Zhonga,b, Liming Liua*, Yabing Liua aDepartment of Land Resources Management, College of Resources and Environment, China Agricultural University, bCollege of Agronomy, Guangdong Ocean University. Zhanjiang, 524088, China Abstract Dongting Lake area is one of the primary commodity grain bases in China, while the grain production there is suffering from serious harm of natural disaster such as flood, drought, pests and mouse damage. In general, the historical data recorded of natural disasters in small region are not enough to be used for estimating the probability distribution in risk assessment, because the size of the sample observed is smal1. In this study, the method “Information Diffusion” is used to change limited sample observations into fuzzy sets, and a quantitative analyzing model for natural disasters risk assessment is proposed. Based on the statistical data of grain planting area and hazard area during the period of 1986-2006 in Dongting Lake area, the probability of natural disaster risk of grain production was calculated by using the Information Diffusion Theory in each county. The results showed that the probabilities of natural disaster risk of the area hazard ratio (AHR) of grain production over 10% , 20%, 30%, 40% were between 0.3576̚0.9344, 0.0880̚0.8618, 0.0080̚0.7757, 0̚0.6569 respectively in different county. Meanwhile, the natural disaster risk assessment maps of grain production were obtained based on GIS.
