1 Project Introduction
1.1 Background Information
The implementation of China’s Revitalization Strategy for Old Industrial Bases in Northeastern Region and the Strategy for Development of West and North Liaoning Province, have brought new opportunities for Yi County during the “12th-Five-Year”Period. One hand, reconstruction of the old downtown area has been undertaken in Yi County; on the other hand, construction of the new district of eastern town has been also done. This brings the adequate condition for building and re-construction of the heating project of the county.
(1) From the perspective of the need for improving people’s livelihood, Yi County is located in the northeastern part of the city with an annual average temperature 7.8℃. The lowest temperature in winter is minus 22.9℃, and the heating period is as long as 150 days. Today, people who live in the eastern part of Yi County still use heated brick bed (kang) for heating. The project could significantly improve the living conditions of these people.
(2) From the perspective of city development, the eastern new town of Yi County, according to the City Plan, is one of the development focus during the course of urbanization process in next a couple of years. In 2013, a number of construction projects will be built, including the office building for government institutions, e.g. public security bureau, environmental protection bureau, judicial bureau, health bureau, Party School, education bureau and archive bureau etc., Lingnan Middle School, vocational education centre, expert apartment building for Tianhe Company, commercial building of eastern town and residential area. A total of 200,000 square meter area will be built during the year for commercial (office) use.
(3) From the perspective of the need for reconstructing the old downtown area, the central heating pipe network built years ago is already old with severe corrosion. Leaking problem frequently occurs and pipe insulation has fallen away, which cause further loss of heating and energy. Accidents due to pipe leaking and blocking also take place and have severely affected the heating quality, thus further production and livelihood of people. Every year the government has to pay over four million yuan for pipe repair and maintenance.
(4) From the perspective of energy saving, in northern part of China, heating is a major energy consuming sector. In comparison to small boilers, a large-scale heating plant, with 30% more energy efficiency rate in average, saves more energy. Thus, there is great need for this project to save more energy.

1.2.5 Identification of Co-related Projects
Co-related projects refer to the projects which are connected with the construction function of the project or with the benefits of the project during the course of preparation phase and implementation process. During the process of project design, attention has been given by the project institution to identify related projects. The PMO will, in coordination with the project design institution, make co-relation analysis on all the projects. Analysis has been made and the result shows that there are no co-related projects.

2 Project Impact
2.1 Countermeasures for Avoidance or Minimization of Land Acquisition
2.1.1 Project Design and Principles for Site Selection
During the process of project design, consideration should be made to avoid land acquisition as much as possible. Thus, the project construction will not bring major negative impacts on local economy and society. The main principles are shown as below. The optimal design should be selected. When it is inevitable to use land, the waste land, bottom land and state-owned land should be the priority for use, rather than the farming land; When it is inevitable for land acquisition, it should be reduced to the minimum. This is the key factor for selecting the optimal design, for example, it is better to rebuild heating transfer stations at the former boiler room site to reduce or avoid land acquisition. When the design institution makes rational analysis on the routes of the first-level pipelines, heating pipelines should be installed in the middle or at the edge of the roads in the urban area in order to avoid housing resettlement and reduce destruction of other facilities as much as possible.
2.2 Survey Methodology and Process
The survey time for the substantial indicators of the project impact is from July 2013 to August 2013. A questionnaire survey, individual interviews, seminars and field visits were undertaken during the mission period to learn related indicators of land acquisition. Meanwhile, the plan formulation team interviewed the affected area and people to learn their opinion about the project and the impact of the project on them.
2.3 Identification of Project Affected Area
The project involved land in Yizhou Town is planned to build 17 new heating transfer stations in the compounds and 10 ones in the buildings. The total 27 heating transfer stations will use 4.76mu land, which are all the state-owned. To build first-level pipelines will use temporally 470.88mu state-owned land. There will be no resettlement for people involved during the process of project construction. The detailed information is seen in Table 2-1.

2.3.1 Project Affected Indicator in Kind
This project doesn’t involve acquisition of collective land and resettlement for people. Therefore, there are no impacts on people’s livelihood. The project in general has few impacts on local people.
2.3.2 Permanent Use of State-Owned Land
The location for building new heating transfer stations are within the planned area of state-owned land. During the feasibility phase, the planning institute could only describe roughly the location for the stations. The concrete location for construction cannot be identified for the time being. The use of land for heating transfer stations is seen in Table 2-2.

2.3.3 Temporal Use of Land
The project will use 470.88 mu state-owned lands for temporal use, which are all the motor vehicle roads and sidewalk for pipelines. During the feasibility study phase, the formulation team made on-site investigation according to the chart for resettlement plan provided by the planning institute. The result shows that there will no issues of land acquisition. If the plan is adjusted during the process of the implementation which will cause land acquisition and resettlement issues, the policy framework for resettlement should be followed for execution.

3 Socio-economic Survey and Analysis
Yi County is located in the west Liaoning Province, 50 kilometers away from the north Jinzhou Municipality. It neighbors with Beining in the east at Yiwulv Mountain, Linghai in the south, Beipiao in the west and Qinghemen District of Fuxin in the north. The total area of the county is 2,476 square kilometers with 440,000 people. There are 18 towns in the County including 9 communities and 239 administrative villages.
Yi County has convenient transport facilities. It is the joint venue for Jin-Cheng Railway and Xin-Yi Railway. It is also connected with surrounding big cities via Shu-Gang Road and Jin-Fu Highway. It is 60 km away from Jinzhou Airport and 70 km away from Jinzhou Port. Yizhou Town, the urban area of Yi County is located in the middle of the county. Three roads passing the urban area, including Jin-Fu Highway, Jin-Fu Roads, An-Yang Road, are the important roads to the west and north Liaoning and also Inner Mongolia. It is also the joint site of Jin-Cheng and Xin-Yi railways. As the implementation of Liaoning Coastal Economic Belt Strategy is ongoing, Yi County, which has convenient transport facilities, will play a more important role of connecting its way to Jinzhou Gulf.
In 2012, the total GDP of the county increased, with an annual increase rate of 32%, from 3.52 billion yuan in 2007 to 12 billion yuan. The fixed asset investment of the society increased, with an annual increase rate of 44%, from 1.64 billion yuan in 2007 to 10 billion yuan. The public budget revenue increased, with an annual increase rate of 70.9% from 75.5 million yuan in 2007 to 1.1 billion yuan. Yi County is, therefore renowned for its “Speed of Yi County” in Liaoning Province.
According to the overall plan of the city development, Yi County will be developed as an eco-town along Daling River, a town of culture with Buddhism. It will also be a liveable town in west Liaoning for its clear and rational structuring in function, convenient transport, beautiful environment and economic prosperity.

5 Measures for Land Requisition and Resettlement
5.1 Objective for Land Acquisition and Resettlement
If the project involves land requisition and resettlement issues, the working objective is to formulate an action plan for resettlement and restoration for the affected people to ensure they benefit from the project and have their living conditions improved or at least their living standards are restored after the project is completed.
5.2 Allocation of State-owned Land
According to related law and regulation and policies of Liaoning and the project city, this project will permanently use the state-owned land for free of charge. Compensation and resettlement are not needed. If the plan is adjusted during the process of the implementation which will cause land acquisition and resettlement issues, the policy framework for resettlement should be executed.
5.3 Restoration of Temporally Used Land
The temporally used land is all for heating pipelines. During the construction process, integration of construction and restoration will be implemented and finished in a short time. After the land is temporally used, the project construction institution is responsible for cleaning and restoration of the roads.
