World Bank Loan Project VI RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Summary

Summary of the Resettlement Action Plan

The total length of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou rapid railway turnk line is 287.087km, with a total length of bridges as 137.673km. There are two newly built stations and two rebuilt ones. The line passes through 100 villages in 22 towns of 9 counties/districts (among which, Shangyi County is only passed through by tunnels, no impacts of land requisition) in Zhangjiakou, Wulanchabu and Hohhot cities.

Huzhang Railway will install 4 stations (not including Zhangjiakou South Station), including Huai’an, Wulanchabu, Zhuozi East and Hohhot East Station among which Huai’an and Wulanchabu stations are newly built ones while the rest are rebuilt. The land acquisition of the project has small impact on places along the line for the following reasons: (1) The railway is a linear project, the characteristics of which determine the small impact on places along the line; (2) The proportion of bridges and tunnels takes up 63.8% of the total length, thus, the amount of land acquisition is largely reduced; (3) The line should proceed along mountain areas as possible, so the acquisition of cultivated land drastically decreases; (4) The basic farmlands passing through by the line are mainly distributed in Wan’an County and Huai’an County located in the both sides of Dayang River, as well as Wulanchabu City and Hohhot City. In order to reduce the occupation of basic farmlands, Huzhang Railway shall share common corridors with existing transport channels as much as possible. (5) The site of railway station must keep away from towns and concentrated residential areas. The line should circumvent if it comes to urban residential communities. The land occupied by the project shall be wastelands and reduce the requisition on farmlands and forest lands.

The total number of affected households by the project is 1731 households, 5748 persons, among which 955 households’ (3090 persons) lands are requisitioned, 1078 households’ houses (3631 persons) are demolished, and 302 households (973 persons) are impacted by demolition and land requisition. In terms of composition percentage of affected population, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is the province who is mostly impacted by the project. The number of

World Bank Loan Project 1 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Summary households impacted by land requisition is 58% of the total, and the number of resettled households occupying 86% of the total.

There are 1035 rural households (3498 persons) affected by demolition along the line; The total demolished area is 281004 m2 , including 239301 m2 brick concrete, 10344 m2 earth wood, and 17778 m2 other types of houses. There are 43 urban households (133 persons) affected by the demolition, the total demolished area being 8426 m2. It is found out from the survey that the 43 urban households are all residents changing from rural residenceship into urban residenceship, and their housing conditions and located areas being totally similar with surrounding rural houses. Therefore, their houses are treated samely with rural houses in terms of surveys, compensation standards and resettlement plans.

The project also has impacts on 34 enterprises or public institutions. The total area of demolished houses is 124052m 2, including 5883m 2 factory buildings, 28358.76m 2 one-store houses, 5498m 2 storied buildings, and 4312 m 2 makeshifts, occupying 191.51 m lands, 6729m fences, 10682 m2 Indurative ground and 11 wells. There are 1763 staff (indentured worker) and 10 temporary workers are affected by the project. Apart from 326 staff in 4 enterprises whose fences are demolished only, the number of affected staff is 1477. 7 enterprises are partially demolished, among which 4 of them could run normally as before because only their fences are demolished. Among the 34 enterprises, 16 of them prefer to monetary compensation, while the rest 18 prefer to reconstruction.

The Foreign Capital Center of the Ministry of Railways has entrusted Wisdom Management Consulting Co. ,Ltd to formulate the “Resettlement Action Plan”.

World Bank Loan Project 2 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Summary

The plan received on-site data support from China Railway Engineering Consulting Group Co., Ltd. The RAP covers socio-economic survey, resettlement impact census and resettlement scheme planning, according to the final version of feasibility study report in October 2011. The survey covers 22 towns and 100 affected villages, have a sample of 426 households (1303 persons), among them, 336 sample households affected by land requisition, 35.18% of the total number of households affected by land requisition (955 households); 254 demolition sample households, 23.56% of the total demolished households (1078 households). There are 164 households who are impacted by land requisition and demolition, and 172 households are only affected by land requisition. The survey group also learned about opinions and suggestions on the project from the 426 sample households (mainly targeting the head of the household) by means of questionnaires.

Compilation of the Resettlement Action Plan of this project and its implementation will be carried out in strict accordance with policy documents made by the Chinese government and the World Bank Operation policy OP4.12. The implementation of resident resettlement shall strictly adhere to resettlement compensation standards determined by this action plan and any change in the course of implementation should win the agreement of the World Bank.

Hohhot City and Chahaer Economic and Technical Development Zone of Wulanchabu City prefer to local resettlement, with a compensation of new houses. Other districts prefer to unconcentrated self-building resettlement.

Among the 34 enterprises affected by demolition, 18 prefers to reconstruction. Following the willingness of enterprises, governments at the municipal, county, township and village levels will give a support on site selection, reconstruction and production restoration. Enterprises can, in accordance with the local planning and self willingness, choose to have a new site in the local enterprise zone or in the collective lands of the original township or village. Private enterprises normally rent village’s collective lands, after obtaining compensation fees; they could still rent rural collective lands in the original village or in other areas. If the enterprises will not rebuild or open again, resettlement departments and enterprises shall inform the staff 6 months before, so that the staff could find another job. In addition, resettlement departments and enterprises shall provide free training and help introduce new jobs for the staff. All in-kind loss of enterprises, losses of enterprises and staff due to operation stop shall be compensated after market evaluation.

The Ministry of Railways, the preparation group of Huzhang Railway Company, provincial and prefecture governments, as well as resettlement office at different levels shall be responsible for implementing and guiding the resettlement work in the county and village level. Presently, part of local governments at different levels along the line have set up the leading institutions for railway construction for which of the government leaders will be responsible. The people in charge of each part are the member of the institution. Development and Reform Commission of governments at various levels in other regions, if without corresponding institutions, should be in the charge of all related affairs during preparation of this project. Once this project is initiated, local governments at all levels will set railway support offices or similar institutions to cooperate and support railway construction and resettlement.

The affected population should be informed of possible impacts at different stages of this project and participate in negotiation. The stakeholders participating in the negotiation include the heads of influenced household, the village heads and villager representatives, departments of local governments and the disadvantaged group. The information relating to acquisition and resettlement has been broadcasting through public media such as newspaper, broadcasting stations and public announcement etc and meetings at the level of village to stimulate understanding and support of all communities/villages in the project area. Along with the progress of the project, the influenced families will

World Bank Loan Project 5 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Summary also take part in the negotiation of Resettlement Action Plan and the activities of resident resettlement including detailed measurement, determination of location of flyover, selection of sites of new houses and appeals etc. In the process of specific implementation of land acquisition and resettlement, the influenced population and enterprises can lodge complaints to local administrative departments, government institutions, project owner, external monitoring institutions and courts concerning land acquisition, housing demolition, compensation and resettlement. In addition, the influenced population will often be provided with opportunities to discuss the issues involving compensation and resettlement with the representatives of the organizations of all levels in charge of implementing and managing the project through public meetings, hearing, public negotiation and on-site survey etc.

The Preparation Group of the Ministry of Railways and Resettlement Offices of local governments at all levels will jointly take the responsibility for granting the compensation fee and internal monitoring and supervision on house reconstruction, land acquisition and appealing of affected population.

World Bank Loan Project 21 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 2 Socio-economic Survey

2.3.2 On-site investigations in 2010

The investigation has been strongly supported by villagers and governments at all during the investigation. The investigation is completed through collecting data from the Bureau of Statistics, the National Development and Reform Commission and other relevant local government departments, and through holding informal discussions with local government officials. Detailed topics include the future industrial development, railway route selection, the location of the stations in the towns and villages, the setting of pedestrian access and culverts, arable land reduction, especially farmland acquisition and house demolition, and local economic development and poverty release. The investigation on physical impact will be based on the feasibility study. The investigation and statistics on agrarian Impact will be developed in a unit of village. The survey of private residential buildings will take a household as a unit. The survey on individually owned auxiliary facilities and trees will take a household as a unit. The survey on public infrastructures and special projects will take a unified organization as a unit.

Through the investigation,China Railway Consulting Group has considered the local socio-economic development and environmental protection at the stage of route selection, which reduced the relative quantity of requistioned lands and the corresponding impacts. These findings have been fully reflected in the project design and resettlement planning.

2.3.3 Socio-economic Survey on Affected Villages and Population

(2010)

In order to understand the basic living condition of the migrant families in the project area and analyze the impacts on local immigrants, a random sample survey has been made on the production and living conditions of the affected families. The survey is made possible by comparing their similarities and differences.

The affected migrant families under investigation are chosen randomly and questionnaires and informal discussions are applied to the survey. The survey

World Bank Loan Project 22 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 2 Socio-economic Survey group made social and economic surveys on 100 affected villages in 22 towns of 8 counties/districts (As Shangyi County are only passed through by tunnels, no land requisition or demolition) in the three cities. The group made a sample of 426 households, (1303 persons), among them, 336 sample households affected by land requisition, 35.18% of the total number of households affected by land requisition (955 households); 254 demolition sample households, 23.56% of the total demolished households (1078 households). There are 164 households who are impacted by land requisition and demolition, and 172 households are only affected by land requisition (See Table 2-2). It should be pointed out there are 1035 rural households affected by demolition. Meanwhile, there are 43 urban households (133 persons) affected by the demolition. It is found out from the survey that the 43 urban households are all residents changing from rural residenceship into urban residenceship, and their housing conditions and located areas being totally similar with surrounding rural houses. Therefore, their houses are treated samely with rural houses in terms of surveys, compensation standards and resettlement plans.

The survey group also learned about opinions and suggestions on the project from the 426 sample households (mainly targeting the head of the household) by means of questionnaires. They made a census on social and economic conditions in all the 100 villages affected by the project; The impact value on in-kind indics such as affected lands and houses has been calculated, through data summarization as well as feasibility study and on-site investigation on routes conducted by the design institute. The sample households cover all types of affected households in all affected district, being representative and typical.

Methods of investigating the affected population, land, housing and auxiliary facilities, scattered trees and special facilities: on-site division of county (city, district), township (town, street) and village (neighborhood) is the basis of ownership-division; the quantity of affected housing and subsidiary facilities are gathered into the village level; make a survey on the number of households and population affected by the demolished houses; gather information of lands into the village (committee); gather information of special facilities into the county (city, district) level.

2.4.3 Land requisition impacts

The surveyed peasants have planted 4831.92 mu dry lands in total. Almost 70% of the surveyed households are engaged in livestock breeding, most of whom are concentrated in Inner Mongolia. 40% of them plant cash crop, and 10% plant fruit trees. It is found out from the survey that the surveyed peasants own a relatively big land area, the biggest personal land volume reaching 86.67 mu, per capita farmland being 5.35 mu. The per capita farmland area in over 99% of the surveyed affected households is bigger than 0.3 mu, with one exception in three households in Nandian Village of Haoqinying Town in Xincheng District of Hohhot City. Generally speaking, the per capita farmland area of surveyed households is relatively bigger, except 24 households with a per capita land area lower than 1 mu, all the rest owning over 1 mu farmlands. Besides farmlands, peasants also own other kinds of agricultural land (including sloping field, forest and fruit fields)

Except the three villages with per capita farmland less than 0.3 mu, all the other affected villages keep 5-10% lands not being allocated to peasants for the

World Bank Loan Project 30 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 2 Socio-economic Survey purpose of flexibility. These lands will be cultivated by means of annual renting contract, and can be allocated to requisitioned peasants if needed.

As the per capita farmland area of affected household is bigger, and the project mainly conducts linear land requisition, therefore, there is no single households whose lands are requisitioned totally.

2.4.4.1 Peasants’ income

Table 2-5 shows the income conditions of the affected 426 households. Generally, the residents’ income distributions in the two provinces are much similar, with the three levels from 800 Yuan to 5000 Yuan occupy the largest proportion, nearly 90%. The percentage of households in absolute poverty line (less than 800 Yuan/person year) in Hebei is 2.96%, and 1.39% in Inner Mongolia. The percentage of households with per capita annual income reaching 5000 Yuan is about 10% in both provinces.

2.4.8 Affected minorities

There are 48 minority nationalities in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region〔with about 50 million minorities, 88 minority counties, including 4 million Mongolia people, and 1 million of other minority nationalities, including 0.2 million Hui and Manchu, 20 thousand population of Korea, Daur and Ewenki respectively, and over 2 thousand of Xibo and Olunchun respectively. Minority nationalities of Miao, Tujia, Uygurs, Yi, Buyi, Dong and Yao have only less than thousand persons respectively. The social survey and assessment on land requisition show that the minority nationality village and people have actively participated in relevant activities of land requisition and resettlement plan, and their opinions are fully reflected in the plan. The minorities enjoy the same rights with local Han nationality by formulating proper RAP. The social survey conducted under the project also proves that the resettlement activities are also adaptive to minorities.

The on-site social survey show that the living habits, cultures and social features of affected minorities in Zhangjiakou city have been converted to the Han nationality.

The project has entrusted Central University for Nationalities to formulate the Report of Social Evaluation with focus on surveys on minorities and development plan. The details seen in the Social Evaluation Report of Zhanghu Rapid Railway Project .

2.4.9 Affected female

Among the 426 surveyed households (1303 persons), female occupies 58% of the total population. Most of the female work on the land, take care of children and the elderly at home, and do some temporary jobs in slack seasons, like needlework and construction. There are also some female working outside, but they are not included in the survey as they are far from home. It is found out from the survey that affected female can enjoy similar rights of participating in domestic affairs and being employed.

3.2.1.2 Analysis to Permanent Land Acquisition

Hohhot-Zhangjiakou railway’s land acquisition has relatively small impact on the areas along the line, The reasons are: (1) the railway is a line project, and the characteristics of the project determine that there will be less impact on areas along the line; (2) the proportion of the total length of bridge and tunnel is 63.8% of the line length; therefore, land acquisition is greatly reduced; (3) line selection is along the mountain area as far as possible, to avoid the plain area, greatly reducing the amount of farming land acquisition; (4) location of the station should try to avoid concentration areas of towns and residents; in case of urban neighborhoods, the line should be changed. Nevertheless, the rural residents are still affected most by the land acquisition of the Hohhot-Zhangjiakou railway construction project, especially the rural residents where the railway station is located. A total of 22 townships and 100 villages in 3 cities (counties) and 8 counties along the line are affected by land acquisition; the 22 townships and 38 villages are affected by the removal.

The project did not lead to any reduction of arable land per capita in any village to 0.3 mu or less, but among the 100 villages involved in the project there are 3 villages whose per capita arable land is less than 0.3 mu before the project’s land acquisition, respectively, Jiuyaozi Village and Xinyaozi Village, Kongjiazhuang Town, Wanquan County, Zhangjiakou City, and Nandian Village, Haoqinying Town, Xincheng District, Hohhot City (see Table 3-2).

Table 3-2 shows the 10 villages affected by the project, whose farming land acquisition accounts for over 10% of the total arable land. Since the railway is located in the north, arable land per capita in the northern villages is vast; therefore there are only three villages whose arable land per capita is less than 0.3 mu among all the affected villages. Since the arable land per capita is greatly affected, social security and the measures to promote employment including free training will be adopted to guarantee their future life. There are another two villages whose per capita arable land is between 0.5 mu and 1 mu; per capita arable land of the remaining 95 villages affected in general is between 1 mu and 15 mu. The affected persons who need to work on agriculture in the 97 villages still have arable land to meet the needs to continue farming, with little affecting extent. The project totally sets four stations (excluding Zhangjiakou South Station), in which Huaian station and Ulan Qab station are new stations, Zhuozidong station and Hohhot East Station are rebuilt. Two rebuilt stations mainly use the original stations for rebuilding, without a lot of re-conversion, land acquisition and demolition work, and so it is not severely affected. Huaian station and Ulan Qab station are located in Taogou village, Dukoubao Township, Huaian County and Economic Development Zone, Chahar Youyiqianti, Wulanbuch City, of which the land acquisition of Taogou village is 32 mu, and the land acquisition is 9.73% of the total arable land in the village, and the village's per capita land area turns from 1.34 mu to 1.21 mu; the arable land acquisition of the Economic Development Zone is 318.1 mu, the land acquisition is 0.49% of the total arable land of the village, and per capita land area turns from 5.64 mu to 5.61 mu. It is mainly due to rich amount of arable land per capita in the two villages, and Taogou Village is little affected. So the arable land acquisition of the villages where the two new stations are located is less than 10% of the total arable land area.

3.2.2 Temporary Land

During the construction temporary expropriation of a number of land, is needed mainly for the construction access roads, spoil games, bridge and tunnel construction sites and so on. As special consideration in the design to reduce the land acquisition impact on areas along the project, the temporary land should be mainly wasteland, which accounts for 99.24% of the total amount of temporary sites. Only 9 households were requisitioned 12.3 mu of land as temporary site. 95% of the temporary land is in Inner Mongolia. (Temporary sub-county land statistics are shown in Table 3-3; sub-village statistics see Annex IV)

3.2.8 Impact on Vulnerable Groups

According to the civil affairs department of the affected area, the five-guarantee households, the disabled, the poor and the female-headed households and other vulnerable groups are all included in the guaranteeing system, providing the lowest monthly living allowance. The project involves four five-guarantee households, three households with disabled persons, 25 poor households, and three female-headed households. The vulnerable groups are mainly affected by land acquisition, whose amount is between 0.1 to 0.2 mu; the per capita arable land area is more than 1 mu. Speaking of the households in relation to land requisition, they are poor for lack of strong labor in the family. With idle land, the project's land acquisition does not have a negative impact on their production life, and to some extent, increases their income and savings. Two poor households are affected by demolition; since the compensation is in line with the resettlement standard and Huaian County Government where the project lies also say that if the house rebuilding of the two poor households has difficulty, the Government will provide labor and capital to assist its complete reconstruction.

3.2.9 Impact on Women

According to social surveys of the project, women of the affected areas of the project are commonly for the project construction and want a better life through the project, including more convenient transportation, better housing and employment environment.

World Bank Loan Project 59 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 3 Project Impacts

As the project's land acquisition and resettlement compensation measures to fully consider the interests of those affected and the subsequent reconstruction of the affected women and their families will not be the result of land acquisition and relocation projects live and a lower level.

Among 60% of the surveyed households there is at least one woman working outside the home; the women staying at home are mainly responsible for working on agriculture and taking care of their families, and engaging in some temporary work during the slack time, such as crafts, construction sites and other temporary work. Women surveyed say that they will support the project construction and are willing to get engaged in the construction with a reasonable settlement.

Construction of this project will contribute to the exchanges between women of the project affected area and women in less developed regions of Inner Mongolia, and develop local economy through the railway construction, and thus creating career opportunities for women that cannot go out for work because they have to stay at home and take care of the family.

4.1 Resettlement Target

The resettlement target for the affected people of Huzhang Railway Line include:

I To take construction, technical and economic measures to avoid or minimize land acquisition and structure demolition; When land acquisition and demolition are unavoidable, to take effective measures to minimize the impact on the production and lives of the affected people;

II Conduct socioeconomic survey and compile a relevant resettlement plan during the preparation stage;

III With resettlement, target demolished indics in kind and compensation standards as the foundation, improve or at least recover the standard of production and living of the affected people.

IV Initiate resettlement development. The resettlement of villagers is to make use of land as the foundation, to suitably develop non farm for creating more employment chances.

V Establish and improve the social security system of villagers affected by land acquisition.

VI Encourage the resettlers participation in resettlement activities.

VII Prioritize resettling the resettlers within their original society.

4.2 Applicable Laws and Policies 4.2.1 Applicable Laws and Policies

The objectives of the Bank’s policy on involuntary resettlement〔

The World Bank policies on involuntary resettlement are described clearly in OP4. 12. The overall objectives of the Bank’s policy on involuntary resettlement are the following:

• Involuntary resettlement will be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring all viable alternative project designs.

World Bank Loan Project 61 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 4 RAP Policy Framework

• Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities will be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs,

• Providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits.

• Displaced persons will be meaningfully consulted and will have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs.

• Displaced persons will be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher.

Required measures to achieve the objectives

• The resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement.

• The displaced persons are consulted on, offered choices among, and provided with technically and economically feasible resettlement alternatives.

• The displaced persons are provided prompt compensation at full replacement cost for losses of assets attributable directly to the project.

• If the impacts include physical relocation, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are provided assistance (such as moving allowances) during relocation.

• The displaced persons are provided with residential housing, or housing sites, or, as required, agricultural sites for which a combination of productive potential, location advantages, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the old site.

• Where necessary to achieve the objectives of the policy, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework also include measures to ensure that displaced persons are offered support after displacement, for a transition period, based on a reasonable estimate of the time likely to be needed to restore their livelihood and standards of living.

World Bank Loan Project 62 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 4 RAP Policy Framework

• The displaced persons are provided with development assistance such as land preparation, credit facilities, training, or job opportunities.

• Particular attention is paid to the needs of vulnerable groups among those displaced, especially those below the poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and children, indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities, or other displaced persons who may not be protected through national land compensation legislation.

• Preference will be given to land-based resettlement strategies for displaced persons whose livelihoods are land-based. These strategies may include resettlement on public land or on private land acquired or purchased for resettlement. Whenever replacement land is offered, resettlers are provided with land for which a combination of productive potential, vocational advantages, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the land taken. If land is not the preferred option of the displaced persons, the provision of land would adversely affect the sustainability of a park or protected area,16 or sufficient land is not available at a reasonable price, non-land-based options built around opportunities for employment or self-employment will be provided in addition to cash compensation for land and other assets lost. The lack of adequate land must be demonstrated and documented to the satisfaction of the Bank.

• Payment of cash compensation for lost assets may be appropriate where (a) livelihoods are land-based but the land taken for the project is a small fraction17 of the affected asset and the residual is economically viable; (b) active markets for land, housing, and labor exist, displaced persons use such markets, and there is sufficient supply of land and housing; or (c) livelihoods are not land-based. Cash compensation levels will be sufficient to replace the lost land and other assets at full replacement cost in local markets.

• Displaced persons and their communities, and any host communities receiving them, are provided timely and relevant information, consulted on resettlement options, and offered opportunities to participate in planning, implementing, and monitoring resettlement. Appropriate and accessible grievance mechanisms are established for these groups.

• In new resettlement sites or host communities, infrastructure and public services are provided as necessary to improve, restore, or maintain

World Bank Loan Project 63 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 4 RAP Policy Framework

accessibility and levels of service for the displaced persons and host communities. Alternative or similar resources are provided to compensate for the loss of access to community resources (such as fishing areas, grazing areas, fuel, or fodder).

• Patterns of community organization appropriate to the new circumstances are based on choices made by the displaced persons. To the extent possible, the existing social and cultural institutions of resettlers and any host communities are preserved and resettlers’ preferences with respect to relocating in preexisting communities and groups are honored.

• The benefits of the displaced persons will not be guaranteed without the above measures

4.2.2 Domestic Legal Framework

The People’s Republic of China has formulated a complete set of legal and policy framework regarding land acquisition, house demolition, and resettlement of resettlers and standards of compensation. Since 1986 when “The People’s Republic of China Land Administration Law” was promulgated, it has been revised three times according to the changes of national conditions. The latest revision was made on August 28, 2004 by the standing committee during the 11th conference in The Tenth National People’s Congress. Within the national legal and policy framework, governments of every level respectively promulgated and implemented relevant laws and policies that conform with the local conditions to manage and guide the work of land acquisition, house demolition, resettlement of resettlers and compensation. The two provinces where the line goes through have formulated relevant local laws and policies to manage and guide related work locally. Every prefecture level cities, county level cities, districts, counties under the jurisdiction (region) have all implemented relevant regulations from their provincial governments.

Land acquisition, demolition and resettlement of this project are to conform to relevant regulations and implementation methods of the province (autonomous region), as well as social safeguard policies of the World Bank and design documents of the project (see in Annex 9). Major laws and policies include:

4.2.3 Relevant Legal Rules and Regulations

Laws and regulations regarding land requisition

The Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China set regulations on compensation of land requisition.

Article 47.

For requisition of land, compensation shall be given in accordance with the original use of the requisitioned land. Compensation fee for the cultivated land requisitioned include land compensation fee, subsidy for resettlement as well as compensation fee for ground appendixes and young crops.

Land compensation fee for the cultivated land requisitioned shall be six to ten times of the average annual output value in the three years prior to requisition. Subsidy for resettlement for the cultivated land requisitioned shall be calculated on the basis of the agricultural population that requires resettlement. The agricultural population that requires resettlement shall be calculated on the basis of the amount of cultivated land requisitioned divided by the average per capita occupancy of cultivated land of the unit requisitioned. The rate of subsidy for resettlement per head of the agricultural population that requires resettlement shall be four to six times of the average annual output value in the three years prior to requisition of

World Bank Loan Project 66 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 4 RAP Policy Framework

the said cultivated land. However, the maximum subsidy for resettlement for cultivated land requisitioned per hectare shall not exceed fifteen times of the average annual output value in the three years prior to the requisition.

Additional subsidy for resettlement may be provided for those peasants who require resettlement and cannot maintain their original living standards on the basis of land compensation fee and subsidy for resettlement the payment of which is effected pursuant to the provisions of this Article subject to the approval of people's governments of the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. However, the total of land compensation fee and subsidy for resettlement shall not exceed thirty times of the average annual output value in the three years prior to requisition of the land.

The State Council may, in accordance with the level of socio-economic level, increase the rate of land compensation fee and subsidy for requisitioned farmlands.

In 2004, To further enforce land administration, the State Council of the People’s Republic of China promulgated Decision on Intensive Reformation and Strict Land Administration (No. 28) puts forward new requirements on improvement of land requisition compensation.

Article 12 on Improving Method of Compensation for Land Acquisition is to further improve requirements on compensation for land acquisition. Local governments of county levels and above are to take practical measures so that the living standards of villagers will not become lower because of land acquisition. To ensure compensation for land, subsidies for resettlement, compensation for auxiliaries and young crops are of the amount according to the law and be paid promptly. Compensation for land and subsidies for resettlement are to be paid according to the current legal regulations. In the case where the living standards of the villagers cannot be maintained the same or the compensations are not enough for the social security of the villagers who has lost their land due to land acquisition, the local governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities are to approve the increment of subsidies of resettlement. When compensation for land and subsidies for resettlement are in the higher limit regulated by the law but still cannot maintain the living standard of the villagers affected by land acquisition, the local government can make use of the income from compensated use of state-owned lands to subsidize. Local governments of provinces, autonomous regions and

World Bank Loan Project 67 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 4 RAP Policy Framework municipalities are to formulate and publicize the standard of annual output value of requisitioned land or the comprehensive price of land for the district. Compensation for land acquisition is to be the same of the same types of land. Key projects of the country must include full amounts of expenses for land acquisition in their budgets. The compensation standard and method of resettlement for construction of medium or big water conservancy and hydropower works are to be individually regulated by the State Council.

Chapter 5: Compensation Standard and Compensation Budget

5.1 Compensation Standard 5.1.1 Land Acquisition Compensation Standard

5.1.1.1 Permanent Land Acquisition Compensation Standard

It is stipulated in the Land Administration Law of People’s Republic of China that permanent land acquisition compensation covers land compensation and resettlement subsidiary. Land acquisition compensation is obtained by multiplying 6 to 10 times of former three years of average agricultural yield. Resettlement subsidiary multiple is dependent on the former average land per capital before land acquisition, normally between 4 and 20 times. The resettlement subsidiary multiple is small with more average farmland and less farm population per mu of land. The resettlement subsidiary multiple is large with less average farmland and more farm population per mu of land.

The average agricultural production value is calculated by the output of all crops grown on the farmland in three years before land acquisition multiplying by the average value of correspondent market current price, including value of straw, the byproduct of crop.

According to the Notice on Implementation of Land Acquisition Block Price of the People’s Government of Hebei Province (Hebei Government [2008] No. 132), for the land acquisition of collective owned land according to law, the compensation expense of land shall be calculated by the block price of the land acquisition multiplying by area of land. The unused land in mountainous area and on dams is implemented by 60% of the land acquisition block price. Any unit or individual cannot raise or reduce the compensation standard arbitrarily. According to the Notice on Implementation of Uniform Annual Production Value Standard of Land Acquisition and the Comprehensive Land Price of Land Acquisition Block in the Autonomous Region of the People’s Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (Inner Mongolia Government [2009] No. 129). And the Forwarding of the Notice on Implementation of Uniform Annual Production Value Standard of Land Acquisition and the Comprehensive Land Price of Land Acquisition Block in the Autonomous Region of the People’s Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (Ministry of Land and Resources in Hohhot General Document〔2010〔No. 26), the new land acquisition compensation standard is

World Bank Loan Project 79 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 5: Compensation Standard and Compensation Budget the comprehensive compensation standard of acquisition of collective owned land. It is composed by the land compensation and resettlement compensation (not including crop compensation or compensation for objects attached to land). Each district can properly adjust the compensation standard according to the actual situation of the district in the implementation process, but it cannot be lower than the standard published by the Autonomous Region. The occupation of basic farmland shall be compensated according to the highest standard in the district. The use of state owned land shall be implemented according to standard published this time. The compensation standard for crops and objects attached to land is determined and implemented by each district according to its actual situation. Items otherwise specified shall conform to the special regulations. There is no division of category in the acquisition of collective owned land in the compensation standard of land acquisition in both Hebei Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and only government of Hebei Province points out that “The unused land in mountainous area and on dams is implemented by 60% of the land acquisition block price”. Therefore the above-mentioned compensation price is the comprehensive compensation standard of acquisition of all collective owned land. According to the above-mentioned documents, see Table 5-1, 5-2 and 5-3 for the concrete land compensation standards in three cities along the Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Railway line.

The land acquisition standard is determined on the basis of the Notice on Implementation of Land Acquisition Block Price of the People’s Government of Hebei Province (Hebei Government [2008] No. 132) in Hebei Province. The average block price in the high-tech zone in Zhangjiakou is 56186 yuan/mu, 29253 yuan/mu in Wanquan County and 30452 yuan/mu in Huaian County.

The land acquisition standard is determined on the basis of the Notice on Implementation of Uniform Annual Production Value Standard of Land Acquisition and the Comprehensive Land Price of Land Acquisition Block in the Autonomous

World Bank Loan Project 81 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 5: Compensation Standard and Compensation Budget

Region of the People’s Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (Inner Mongolia Government [2009] No. 129) in Hohhot and Ulan Qab Xinghe County. The average block price in Hohhot is 36703.91 yuan/mu and 2880 yuan/mu in Huaian County.

The land acquisition compensation standard in Chahar Right Front Banner, Ulan Qab is implemented in reference to the Inner Mongolia Industrial and Commercial Bureau [2008] No. 15 document : Implementation Rules for the Resettlement Compensation for Acquisition of Rural Collective Owned Land in Industrial Zone in Chahar, Inner Mongolia . It means that the land acquisition compensation (including the land acquisition compensation fees and Resettlement fees) is 6000 yuan/mu, the irrigated land 9000 yuan/mu and forestland 3000 yuan/mu.

The government of Zhuozi County refers to the local reality, determines the land acquisition standard as the irrigable land 28000 yuan/acre, dry land 15000 yuan/mu, forestland/grassland 6000 yuan/mu.

The land acquisition compensation standard involved in this project will conform to regulation “each district shall establish the dynamic adjustment mechanism of land acquisition compensation standard to adjust the land acquisition compensation standard in every two to three years and gradually enhance the land acquisition compensation level according to the economic development level, growth rate of local average income etc.” It is regulated in the Notice on Further Do the Land Acquisition Management Work Well of the Ministry of Land and Resources (June 26, 2010).

The land acquisition compensation standard meets the World Bank requirement that the immigrant’s property losses caused by land acquisition shall be totally compensated, to ensure that the living standard of impacted farmers will not reduce after the land acquisition, and that their life and production are recovered. The following argument is measured with the local annual production value as standard. The annual production value does not exclude the labor force and cost of agricultural means of production. Generally speaking, the agricultural pure income of land impacted in this project is 30% of the annual production value.

To do the land acquisition work well, maintain the awful rights and interests of farmers whose land is acquired, ensure the living standard of farmers whose land is acquired will not reduce and ensure their long-term livelihood, the government of Hebei Province has regulated the land acquisition block price

World Bank Loan Project 82 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 5: Compensation Standard and Compensation Budget standard according to principle of “the same land, the same price”. The regulation is on the basis of the Decision on Deepening Reform and Strict Land Management of the State Council (State Published [2004] No. 28). The land acquisition in this project is compensated according to this block price standard, which is higher than the original basis of calculation of annual production value and can reflect the price difference of land due to position difference of land.

The annual production value in new urban area of Hohhot in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is 366.39 yuan/mu. The land acquisition compensation and resettlement fee is calculated by 16 times, and the total compensation for each mu of land is 5862.24 yuan. In the land acquisition compensation in this project, the land in Hohhot is compensated according to the block price, and the comprehensive block price of 36703.91 yuan/mu is more than 6 times of the compensation standard of 5862.24 yuan/mu that is estimated according to the annual production value.

The annual production value in Zhuozi County, Ulan Qab is 398.85 yuan/mu, and the land acquisition compensation and resettlement fee, calculated by 16 times, is 6384 yuan/acre. In combination with the financial ability of the local government and in consideration of the benefits of people impacted in this project, the compensation standard in this project is 15000 yuan/mu for dry land, and 28000 yuan/mu for irrigated land.

The annual production value of dry land in Chahar Right Front Banner is 369.88 yuan/acre and the land acquisition compensation and resettlement fee, calculated by 16 times, is 5920 yuan/acre. Therefore, the current compensation standard in Chahar Right Front Banner conforms to the local annual production value.

Lands in Xinghe County are all dry and barren lands, with annual production value 180 yuan/mu, and the land acquisition compensation and resettlement fee, calculated by 16 times, is 2880 yuan/mu, which conforms to the condition of the local annual production value.

5.1.1.2 Compensation Standard for Temporary Site

The railway project will temporarily occupy some land for station road, material storage, construction camp, soil borrow and abandon, or project construction. The temporary site will be occupied by the large scale infrastructure project for one to two years. Temporary site occupation fee will be paid to the land owner or land user (the collective or the individual). When necessary, the disadvantageous

World Bank Loan Project 83 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 5: Compensation Standard and Compensation Budget group whose land is occupied will get special help. When the temporary site is farmland, the farmer will be compensated in years according to the annual loss of agricultural yield. There is one-time compensation for the waste land, which is paid to the village collective. The land recovered for farming will be returned to the land owner when the project is completed, or the land owner will be equally paid. Compensation for temporary site is dependent on the type of land and time. It shall be discussed with the construction organization and the local government.

The temporary acquired land compensation standard in Hebei Province is implemented in reference to the Assignment of Meeting Minutes of Coordination on Temporary Acquired Land along the Middle Line of South-to-North Water Diversion in Hebei Province of South-to-North water diversion Project Construction Committee of Hebei Province (Hebei Water Diversion [2009] No, 8). The food crops are compensated by 1000 yuan/mu/year, vegetables and cash crops by 1894 yuan/mu/year.

The temporary land compensation standard in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is on the basis of the average annual production value of the occupied land categories. The time of compensation is same as the time of land occupation.

According to the Meeting Minutes about the Research of Temporary Land Compensation Standard in Changhu Gas Pipeline Multiline Project (Meeting Minute 〔2011〔No. 2) of the government of Hohhot city, the temporary land compensation is 6500 yuan/mu/year for farmland and 6000 yuan/mu/year for other types of lands.

The temporary land compensation in three counties under Ulan Qab is on the basis of the standard of crop compensation, that is 180.00 yuan/acre/year in Xinghe County, 369.88 yuan/mu/year in Chahar Right Front Banner and 398.85 yuan/mu/year in Zhuozi County (see Table 5-4). Since lands in the above- mentioned three counties are barren and low productive categories, the annual production value is much lower in comparison with other areas.

The crop compensation in Hebei Zhangjiakou and Inner Mongolia Hohhot is determined on the basis of crop compensation standards in the key projects in recent years in these areas. The crop compensation is 1000 yuan/mu/year for land of food crops and 1894 yuan/mu/year for land of vegetables and cash crops in Zhangjiakou. The crop compensation standard in Hohhot is 1000 yuan/mu/year. The crop compensation standard in Ulan Qab is on the basis of the Inner Mongolia Government Document [2009] No. 129 the Uniform Annual Production Value Standard, among which it is 180.00 yuan/mu/year in Xinghe County, 369.88 yuan/mu/year in Chahar Right Front Banner and 398.85 yuan/mu/year in Zhuozi County. The main reason for that the crop compensation standards in three counties under Ulan Qab are much lower in comparison with other areas is the barren land.

5.1.2 Compensation Standards for Housing Demolition and Accessory Objects on Ground

5.1.2.1 Housing Demolition Compensation Standard

There are totally 1035 households, 3498 people impacted by the rural demolition along the whole railway line, 43 households, 133 people in the urban demolition. Through survey, we find that these 43 households are urban residents changed from rural residents in the urban-rural integration area, and their room conditions and locations are totally same as the nearby farm houses. Therefore the compensation standards and resettlement program in this project for them are same as that for rural houses, and the rural demolition will not be specified individually.

In Zhangjiakou, the resettlement is mainly through means of cash compensation and form of uniformly planning and self-construction. The compensation standard for rural housing demolition is determined on the basis of the location, application, building area, floor area, building structure, orientation, supporting facilities, decoration and other factors of the houses to be demolished according to the estimated real estate market price (see Table 5-6).

In Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, according to the Collective Owned Land Compensation and Resettlement Procedures in Hohhot City (Hohhot Government Published〔2010〔No. 15), the brick and concrete structure is compensated by 760 yuan/m 2, brick and wood structure 700 yuan/m 2 and civil structure 620 yuan/m 2 in Saihan District, Hohhot. In the new urban are, according to the “Urban Village” Reconstruction Implementation Program of Nandian Village

World Bank Loan Project 86 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 5: Compensation Standard and Compensation Budget published by the People’s Government of New Urban Area, the brick and concrete, brick and wood structures are compensated by 1050 yuan/m 2, and civil structure 1030 yuan/m 2. The houses to be demolished in Xinghe County, Ulan Qab involved in this project are mainly brick and concrete, brick and wood structures, which are compensated by 900 yuan/m 2. In the economic development zone in Nandian Village, Hohhot and Chahar Right Front Banner, Ulan Qab, all demolition households show willingness to choose the housing- return resettlement in the demolition resettlement (see Table 6.3.1). For some demolition households who are unwilling to change their houses into storied houses, the cash compensation can be implemented. The compensation standard is determined according to the current market estimated price. In the concrete estimation process, the brick and concrete structure is generally compensated by about 1000 yuan/m 2.

Since the house price changes a lot with market fluctuation, to better protect the profits of the demolition households, the compensation is based on the latest compensation price in concrete implementation of housing demolition.

Housing replacement cost: according to on-site survey, the housing construction cost in Hebei Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is basically same.

World Bank Loan Project 87 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 5: Compensation Standard and Compensation Budget

The construction cost of rough house is 504 yuan/m 2 (see Table 5-7). Since all 43 urban demolition households impacted in this project are urban residents changed from rural residents in the urban-rural integration area, and their room conditions and locations are totally same as the nearby farm houses, the reconstruction cost is same as that of farm house.

Reconstruction cost estimation of brick and concrete structure houses: the marker price of red brick is 0.25 yuan/block, reference dosage for each square is meter 140-225 blocks and the cost for each square meter is 56.25 yuan. The marker price of cement is 380 yuan/ton, reference dosage for each square is meter 160-320kg and the cost for each square meter is 121.6 yuan. The marker price of steel material is 5200 yuan/ton, reference dosage for each square is meter 22-30kg and the cost for each square meter is 114.4-156 yuan. Besides the above-mentioned main materials, the average cost for plasters on inner and outer walls, roofs, floors, stairs, ground leveling, pipeline and other constructions is about 150 yuan/m 2, and the labor cost is 10-20 yuan/m 2. Estimated by the high value of both the reference dosage and labor per each square meter of the above-mentioned materials, the cost of brick and concrete house is 504 yuan/m 2. In the construction of rural houses, the materials usually don’t reach the highest dosage. At the same time, the construction problem is usually solved through mutual help with construction work. Therefore, the construction of some houses is dozens even one hundred yuan lower than the estimated 504 yuan/m 2 in practice.

According to the above-mentioned estimation, in combination with the housing demolition standard in this project, the compensation standard of brick and concrete structure is 760-2000 yuan/m 2, the brick and wood structure 700-1050 yuan/ m 2 and civil structure 620 yuan/m 2. Therefore, the demolition compensation in this project can totally meet the housing reconstruction requirements of the demolition households, and can help the demolition households with original poorer housing structures to upgrade the house structure and improve the living conditions.

Infrastructure recovery costs: List into engineering costs but not the gross cost of immigration;

Technical training costs: Mostly directed to the employment training of affected farmers and increasing the skills of farmers in other non-major immigrant villages. The sum of the cost is estimated on the basis of the content, duration of training and the number of trainees. The costs will be estimated in Chapter 6 with tables. And the percentage to direct expenses.

Costs of implementation and management calculated by 3 of the total costs of resettlement compensation and temporary site, the cost is mainly directed to the expenses of houses, equipment, salary, office costs and traveling allowance.

Expenses of immigration plan formulation and resettlement evaluation is directed to the expenses of immigration plan formulation and the costs of resettlement evaluation work made by exterior supervision and evaluation institutions during the implementation of immigration resettlement.

Chapter 6 Resettlement and Livelihood Development

Implementation of RAP of Huzhang railway project is the responsibilities of the local governments, with support from the MOR and technical support from the two design institutes. Based on extensive investigation on resettlement impacts, explore proper livelihood and household development schemes in line with domestic regulations and WB resettlement policies.

The total length of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou rapid railway turnk line is 287.087km, with a total length of bridges as 137.673km. There are two newly built stations and two rebuilt ones.

955 households or 3090 persons are impacted by permanent land requisition along the line. The total requisitioned land is 12449.6 mu (not including lands used by existing railway lines), among which, 6145.7 mu farmlands (all drylands), occupying 49.36% of the total requisitioned lands; 804 mu forest lands, 6.46% of the total; 823.6 mu building base, 6.62% of the total; 224 mu construction land use, 1.8% of the total; 234 mu other types of lands, 1.88% of the total; 4218.3 mu wastelands, 33.88% of the total. There are 1035 rural households (3498 persons) affected by demolition along the line; The total demolished area is 281004 m2 , including 239301 m2 brick concrete, 10344 m2 earth wood, and 17778 m2 other types of houses. The demolition affects a total of 43 urban households, 133 people, 8426 m 2. Among them, Ulan Qab Xinghe county town residents 31 households, 95 people, 2780 m 2; Hohhot City 12 households, 38 people, 5646 m 2. The project also has impacts on 34 enterprises or public institutions. The total area of demolished houses is 124052m 2, including 5883m 2 factory buildings, 28358.76m 2 one-store houses, 5498m 2 storied buildings, and 4312 m 2 makeshifts, occupying 191.51 m lands, 6729m fences, 10682 m2 Indurative ground and 11 wells. There are 1763 staff (indentured worker) and 10 temporary workers are affected by the project. Apart from 326 staff in 4 enterprises whose fences are demolished only, the number of affected staff is 1477. 6.1 General Principles

The general target of this resettlement plan is to provide adequate livelihood and household development measures in order to ensure their living standard to be restored to that at least as without project.

World Bank Loan Project 110 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 6 Resettlement and Livelihood Development

The overall principle of the project’s resettlement plan is to relocate the households in their original communities, promote land based resettlement and make the affected farmers have stable income from agriculture, enlarge non farm industry to restore and improve their living standard and further maintain sustainable development of the resettlement areas, through respecting local customs of production and life style and fully consulting with the affected. The specific principles of the Resettlement Plan are as follows:

Villagers self-governance principle. In line of the self-governance principle defined under the Villager Committee Organization Law , detailed villagewise planning will be carried out within the the broad schemes of compensation and livelihood restoration/development based on general experiences and initial round of consultations carried out during the socioeconomic survey. The detailed planning will be organized by the village committees, discussed and decided in the village councils. The package will cover all village members and would make sure that all project affected households will get their equal share of the resources through one or a combination of several options for the purpose of achieving livelihood restoration. The village committees will be responsible for organizing the implementation of the agreed livelihood measures. The governments at township and county level, including the project resettlement offices, will advise the planning process with technical input to guide, and monitor its implementation.

The resettlement plan is implemented based on acquisitioned and demolished material object indexes and compensation and subsidies of land acquisition and demolition.

Resettlement is integrated with regional construction, development of resources and economy as well as protection of environment. Based on their practical condition, regulate tailored strategies to rehabilitate, develop the production and lives of the resettlers, and create necessary conditions for their self development.

The layout of the plan is according to the principle of “beneficial to production, convenient living”. All construction structures, including residences that are to be demolished, are to be followed with the principle of "demolished, rebuild". Affected people will receive new residential plots within their own village or neighborhood committees. Demolition will not take place unless housing plans are confirmed.

World Bank Loan Project 111 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 6 Resettlement and Livelihood Development

The principle is to reconstruct structures according to the scale and standards of the demolished ones. The integration of regional development, expansion, elevation of standards and future planning of needed investments are to be resolved by the local governments and relevant departments. During the process of rebuilding and relocating, farmers will be closely attended by their respective village committees, local governments and County Railway Construction Support Offices.

Give full and overall consideration to and correctly handle relations between the State, collectives and individuals.

Adopt integration methods of compensation, subsidies and production support, and make full use of the advantages of the natural resources, to gradually enable resettlers to attain or surpass their original production and living standard.

Households managed by women will have similar chances and rights to rebuild new houses as households managed by men. It is illegal to discriminate, deprive of rights and reduce the area of houses of households managed by women. Make use of resources (funds and labors) to ensure the satisfaction of households managed by women so that they can have an appropriate new place of residence.

6.2 Recovery Planning for Production and Life of Landless Villagers

The recovery of production and life of affected villages and households mainly covers four kinds of recovery and development measures for production and life in all to promote employment, including land adjustment, monetary compensation, social security program and training.

6.2.1 Analysis of Land Acquisition Impact

Based on the statistics and analysis of field data of land acquisition impact of this project, there are totally 10 villages whose arable area acquired in this project takes up above 10% of total local arable area (see details in Table 3-2). This project does not result in per capita arable land of any village reduced to below 0.3 mu. Yet per capita arable land of 3 villages amongst 100 villages involved in this project has been lower than 0.3 mu before land acquisition (see details in Table 6-1), including Old Yaozi Village and New Yaozi Village in Kongjiazhuang Town, Wanquan County, Zhangjiakou City and Nandian Village in Haoqinying Town, Xincheng District, Hohhot City.

World Bank Loan Project 112 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 6 Resettlement and Livelihood Development

Since most regions passed by this project possess sufficient per capita arable land, the source of income of villages whose per capita arable land is reduced to below 0.3 mu after land acquisition can be guaranteed through monetary compensation, social security, recommended employment through training and many other measures. Since villages whose per capita arable land is above 0.3 mu possess broad original per capita arable land and small linear project land acquisition, their relocation can be resolved mainly through land adjustment.

Table 6-1 Summary of Per Capita Cultivated Land below 0.3 Mu in Villages Affected by Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Railway Project

Except 3 villages whose per capita arable land is below 0.3 mu before land acquisition, there are 2 villages whose per capita arable land is below 1 mu before land acquisition, including Maqiao Village in Chengguan Town, Xinghe County and Zhangjiabo Village in Zhuozishan Town, Zhuozi County, Ulan Qab City.

World Bank Loan Project 113 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 6 Resettlement and Livelihood Development

97 villages whose per capita arable land is above 0.3 mu agree to adopt land adjustment to adjust and allocate land after land acquisition through holding villagers’ congress or villagers’ meeting. Detailed land adjustment program is as follows:

Though Villager Committee and upon villagers’ intention, land adjustment is selected to carry out land acquisition relocation. Specific enforcement method is: adjust land according to group, work out current per capita arable land after deducting acquired area, then divide or complement land among households according to this standard and finally achieve average land division. Since the project location is in the north with rich per capita land resource, per capita arable land of all 95 villages can reach above 1 mu after land adjustment. Subsequent production and life of affected households living on land will not be influenced by land acquisition in this project.

Allocation of compensation for land acquisition after land adjustment: make monetary compensation for acquired collective land according to local land acquisition compensation standard, including land compensation and relocation subsidy. Since affected villages will adopt land adjustment according to group, land compensation and relocation subsidy will be allocated to affected groups according to the quantity of acquired land, and then averagely allocated to each household within jurisdiction. Compensation for young crops will be directly paid to direct affected people.

Upon the calculation of per capita arable land after land acquisition in severely affected villages in this project in Table 3-2, it is thus clear that per capita arable land of 5 villages has reached above 1 mu through the consultation of villagers’ meeting. Except 3 villages whose per capita arable land is below 0.3 mu before land acquisition, there are 2 villages whose per capita arable land is below 1 mu after land acquisition, including Maqiao Village in Chengguan Town, Xinghe County and Zhangjiabo Village in Zhuozishan Town, Zhuozi County, Ulan Qab City. Per capita arable land of these two villages is about above 0.5 mu after land acquisition.

Thus among 97 villages adopting land adjustment, per capita arable land of 2 villages is below 0.5 mu and that of rest 95 villages is 1~15 mu (see detailed in Appendix 7) through consultation of villagers’ meeting. Their land possession can fully meet farmers’ demand for subsequent agricultural production.

World Bank Loan Project 114 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 6 Resettlement and Livelihood Development

6.2.3 Monetary Compensation

Among affected villages in this project, 3 of them do not make land adjustment but adopt monetary compensation and social security program, including Old Yaozi Village and New Yaozi Village in Kongjiazhuang Town, Wanquan County, Zhangjiakou City and Nandian Village in Haoqinying Town, Xincheng District and Hohhot City. Direct economic loss caused by land acquisition of affected farmers in these 3 villages will be made up through obtaining monetary compensation and their subsequent source of income will be guaranteed through social security program.

Monetary compensation for land acquisition in this project is calculated according to the area price of acquired land (see details in Table 5-1, 5-2 and 5- 3) multiplied by the area of acquired land. See detailed discussion of the compensability of monetary compensation standard for land acquisition to the loss of farmers in 5.1.1.

For the allocation of land compensation, 20% belongs to collective economic organization and 80% belongs to the owner of land use right of acquired land or farmers that contract land according to household contract. All compensation for young crops and attachments is directly made up for affected people.

Compensation for unused land in mountain area and on dam is executed according to 60% of the area price of land acquisition. Compensation for acquired land without the owner of land use right, non-contracted land of collective economic organization and contracted land according to other methods all belongs to collective economic organization, which shall be allocated or used by collective economic organization according to law. Land compensation shall be timely paid in full. No organization or individual can hold back or embezzle it.

Basic allocation, payment and use condition of monetary compensation for land acquisition in this project are as follows:

1) Reach uniform decision on land compensation through villagers’ meeting;

2) Publicize each household’s land loss and compensation plan in village;

3) 80% of land compensation and all relocation subsidies shall be paid to affected households. All compensation for young crops and attachments shall be directly made up for affected people;

World Bank Loan Project 115 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 6 Resettlement and Livelihood Development

4) Reach an agreement on land loss amount and total payable compensation with each household. All relevant parties shall sign on the agreement;

5) Pay each household according to the signed agreement;

6) Landless farmers are responsible for the use of compensation. Most of them use it for the development of secondary and tertiary industries;

7) According to the principle of self-governance among villagers regulated in the Organizational Law of Village Committee and under the organization of Village Committee, the use of 20% of land compensation of collective economic organization and compensation for acquired land without the owner of land use right, non-contracted land of collective economic organization and contracted land according to other methods shall be decided based on villagers’ consultation and through the form of villagers’ meeting or villagers’ congress by means of one or various measures so as to make all affected farmers share resource equally and realize the recovery and development of production and life.

6.2.4 Social Security for Landless Farmers

Per capita arable land of affected villages in this project is generally wide and that of 95% of the villages is above 1 mu. Per capita arable land of 3 villages among 100 involved ones has been lower than 0.3 mu before land acquisition, including Old Yaozi Village and New Yaozi Village in Kongjiazhuang Town, Wanquan County, Zhangjiakou City and Nandian Village in Haoqinying Town, Xincheng District, Hohhot City. Detailed introduction of social security policy of these 3 villages is as follows:

Social security work of villagers in Nandian Village, Xincheng District, Hohhot City. (See the case of Nandian Village in Appendix 8)

Since Nandian Village is close to Hohhot City, the villagers’ identity has been transferred to urban residents and included in urban social security system to enjoy the treatment of urban residents with the implementation of urbanization land acquisition. First, cover endowment insurance, unemployment insurance and medical insurance. Second, enjoy subsistence allowances for those have difficulties in life. According to the regulations in Interim Procedures of Endowment Insurance of People Transferred from Landless Farmers in Hohhot City , draw up the Enforcement Scheme of Landless Farmers Participating Endowment Insurance in Nandian Village (HZF [2005] 59).

World Bank Loan Project 116 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 6 Resettlement and Livelihood Development

There are totally 3108 agricultural registered residences from 567 households in the village and 2380 members of village collective economic organization comply with the condition for effecting insurance. Upon the research of two Village Committees and the villagers’ congress, individual payment, village collective payment and adjustment fees of totally 38166,100 Yuan shall be assumed by village collective. All expenses have been paid off in 2009. At present, 2380 people in Nandian Village have covered endowment insurance and 482 people have received the pension of 480 Yuan / month. This standard will be dynamically increased according to the rising range of price level. Meanwhile, to participate in and receive social security do not influence affected people to obtain corresponding compensation for land acquisition. Since Nandian Village does not adopt land adjustment, its land compensation shall be appropriated to affected households according to the principle in monetary compensation for land (see details in 6.2.3).

48 residents from 15 households affected by this project who meet the insuring conditions (reaching 16 years old, losing land and having agricultural census registration of this village) have participated in social insurance and will begin to get pension when they reach 60 (male) or 55 (female).

Old Yaozi Village and New Yaozi Village in Kongjiazhuang Town, Wanquan County, Zhangjiakou City

Landless farmers in above two villages shall cover insurance according to the regulations in Measures for the Implementation of Endowment Insurance of Landless Farmers in Zhangjiakou City . Now concrete social security fees and received amount still cannot be calculated. Local government promises to calculate based on current economic index as soon as possible before land acquisition and implement the social security of landless farmers.

Concrete procedures of capital source, cost calculation, receiving and allocation of the pension of landless farmers are as follows:

(I) Endowment insurance premium for landless farmers shall be raised according to the principle of “individual payment, collective subsidy and governmental undertaking”. Financing limit is confirmed according to the standard that the pension of insured people shall not be lower than subsistence allowances of local urban residents while reaching retirement age. Financing proportion is shared according to below 30% of financing amount of individual payment, above 40% of collective subsidy and above 30% of governmental

World Bank Loan Project 117 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 6 Resettlement and Livelihood Development undertaking. It can be properly adjusted based on local reality by County (Municipal, District) Government.

(II) Individual payment for endowment insurance premium shall be offset from the allowance for land acquisition relocation; collective subsidy shall be disbursed from land compensation; governmental undertaking shall be disbursed from land transferring fees.

(III) Individual payment and collective subsidy for endowment insurance premium shall be withdrawn from the allowance for land acquisition relocation and land compensation by Village (Neighborhood) Committee and handed over to County (Municipal, District) Rural Social Endowment Insurance Agency. Governmental undertaking for endowment insurance premium shall be transferred to Rural Social Endowment Insurance Agency timely in full by financial department.

(IV) The standard of paying premium shall be approved and confirmed by Village (Town) Government (Sub-District Office) upon the discussion and approval of villagers’ (residents’) meeting or villagers’ (residents’) congress.

The calculation formula for paying endowment insurance premium:

Payment standard = 12R [(1.025)M-1]/[0.025(1.025) M-1]×payment proportion to be assumed

R〔Monthly standard for receiving pension;

M: Sharing time limit. The sharing time limit of insured people is 18 years. On this basis, 1 year will be decreased for each exceeding year of insured people to receive pension. Minimum sharing time limit cannot be less than 5 years.

(V) The raising of endowment insurance premium shall be timely adjusted according to the variation of standard for subsistence allowances of local urban residents. When raising standard needs be adjusted, County (Municipal, District) Labor Security Department shall propose adjustment scheme with the department concerned and then publicize and implement after reporting to County (Municipal, District) Government for approval. After the standard is adjusted, the raising of endowment insurance of new insured people shall be executed according to new standard. The raising standard of insured people before adjustment is not changed.

(VI) Endowment insurance treatment:

World Bank Loan Project 118 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 6 Resettlement and Livelihood Development

1. The age for starting receiving the pension is 60 years old for males and 55 for females.

2. Landless farmers that have paid enough endowment insurance as required can start receiving pension since the following month after reaching the age till death. People who have reached the age of receiving pension during land acquisition can start receiving it since the following month after paying off endowment insurance. For people who haven’t reached the age while effecting insurance, 2.5% shall be increased for each fewer year as the standard of receiving pension when they reach the age.

3. Pension shall be paid to insured people by Rural Social Endowment Insurance Agency through post office, bank and other socialized distribution channels.

4. The level of pension treatment shall not be lower than the standard for subsistence allowances of local urban residences. It shall be timely adjusted based on the variation of standard for subsistence allowances of local urban residences. Adjustment scheme shall be drawn up by County (Municipal, District) Labor Security Department with the department concerned and then publicized and executed after being reported to County (Municipal, District) Government for approval.

(VII) Besides, according to the Standard for Compensation for Land Acquisition and Demolition on Zhangjiakou Section Engineering of Zhangjiakou – Tangshan Railway Issued by Zhangjiakou Municipal Land Resource Bureau and Road Transport Bureau, “the standard of not less than 10% of the price of acquired area shall be adopted to make sure social security fees of landless farmers are appropriated to the special account of municipal, county (district) landless farmers and the special fund is used for social security of landless farmers before the approval of agricultural land acquisition. When social security reaches the special account, competent administrative department of social security shall timely issue the document of affirming social security measures for landless farmers.”

6.2.5 Vocational Training and Other Recovery Measures

Two affected provinces insist on market-oriented mechanism of employment and provide necessary technologies and opportunities for farmers with no or little land through vocational technical training, vocational introduction and

World Bank Loan Project 119 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 6 Resettlement and Livelihood Development developing integrated project to promote the employment of landless farmers and herdsmen.

According to the Guidance on Providing Better Training for Peasant-Workers of the State Council (GBF [2010] 11), both Hebei Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region draw up corresponding enforcement opinions and notice 2to guarantee the smooth implementation of training of peasant-workers in aspects of system, capital and management.

Carry out planned training of landless farmers and herdsmen. Governments at all levels and departments concerned within urban planning area shall make targeted vocational training plan suitable to the feature of landless farmers and herdsmen and help them realize employment through order-type training and other methods. Regions outside urban planning area shall actively carry out free vocational training based on the feature of landless farmers and herdsmen to improve their employment competitiveness and capacity to initiate and operate.

Actively create conditions to provide free employment service for landless farmers and herdsmen. Public job introduction agency, training agency and certifying agency of vocational skills shall initiatively provide free job introduction, training and vocational skills verification for landless farmers and herdsmen. At present, there are mainly two kinds of employment training planned, organized and established by governmental departments: the first kind is related to agriculture, which mainly involves agricultural extended services for helping villagers (including landless villagers), e.g. seeding, fertilizer, science and technology, veterinary service, forestation and avocation economic activities etc. The second training is related to nonagricultural employment, which aims to help people with few land and those who are exploring nonagricultural job opportunities. Training will provide new skills for farmers, help them find new jobs through information transfer and actively organize labor force output to developing areas. Training mainly involves food production, machinery, sewing, woodworking, security, cooking and main household services etc. (Details in Table 6-2)

Chapter 6 Resettlement and Livelihood Development

Offer job opportunities through multiple approaches. Two affected provinces in this project insist on market-oriented mechanism of employment, plan urban and rural employment, develop new jobs through multiple channels, improve employment environment, encourage and lead various enterprises, institutions and communities to receive landless farmers and herdsmen and support them to search for jobs and operate on their own. Implement uniform employment registration system for farmers and herdsmen received into urban employment service system. Unemployed landless farmers and herdsmen can make unemployment registration at local public employment service agency. Public employment service agency takes charge of handling unemployment registration procedures and providing employment counseling, guidance, training, job introduction and other services for landless farmers and herdsmen to promote those with employment aspirations within labor age group to realize employment. Those unemployed people with employment aspirations within labor age group can enjoy relevant supporting policies about employment and re-employment promotion.

Receive “4050” landless farmers and herdsmen into urban groups with employment difficulties and develop public service jobs for employment settlement. For employment settlement, land use organizations can directly provide jobs and sign labor contract with settlement targets complying with employment conditions. Besides, land use organizations, employment service agency and landless farmers and herdsmen can sign triple contract to entrust settlement.

Nandian Village, Xincheng District, Hohhot City in this protect whose per capita arable land is lower than 0.3 mu vigorously develops and coordinates integrated project through self establishment, buying shares, joint development and other methods to solve the employment of landless villagers, increase the revenue of collective economy and provide convenient service for villagers. Detailed integrated auxiliary project of development and job opportunities provided for landless farmers are as follows (see table 6-3):

6.2.6 Relocation Planning for Severely Affected Villages

Relocation planning of villages where stations are built

There are totally 4 stations in this project (excluding Zhangjiakou South Station), among which Huai’an Station and Ulan Qab Station are newly built, and Zhuozi East Station and Hohhot East Station are rebuilt. Two rebuilt stations are reconstructed mainly through the original ones. Station reconstruction does not cause much land reacquisition and demolition work, thus they are not regarded

World Bank Loan Project 124 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 6 Resettlement and Livelihood Development as severely affected villages. Newly built Huai’an Station and Ulan Qab Station are respectively located in Taogou Village, Dukoubao Township, Huai’an County and the Economic Development Zone of Charhar Right Front Banner, Hohhot City. Thereinto, totally 32 mu of arable land are acquired in Taogou Village, which takes up 9.73% of its total arable land. The method of land adjustment after land acquisition is adopted through the discussion villagers’ meeting (see detailed land adjustment method in 6.2.2). Per capita area of acquired land of the village is changed to 1.21 mu from 1.34 mu before land acquisition. Totally 318.1 mu of arable land are acquired in Economic Development Zone, which takes up 0.49% of total arable land of the village. Land adjustment is conducted based on the agreement of villagers’ meeting. Per capita area of acquired land of the village is changed to 5.61 mu from 5.64 mu before land acquisition. Since per capita arable land of above two villages is abundant and the influence quantity of Taogou Village is relatively small, acquired arable land of villages where two new stations are built does not take up above 10% of their total arable land (see details in Table 6-4). Per capita arable land of these two villages is above 1 mu, which can meet the demand for agricultural production.

Demolition is not involved in Taogou Village. 1834 people from 545 households with 50409〔 of brick and concrete housing are involved in Economic Development Zone (see details in Table 6-5). All houses are old flat brick housing, among which 327 households with 32013〔 are demolished for stations. Relocation of above households shall be arranged based on the intention of affected people and combined with local planning through house returning method of “Demolish one, return one”. In 2011, Economic Development Zone has planned 3 relocation neighborhoods within planning area, including Zhanggaiying Relocation Neighborhood of 800,000〔 within business district an 2 relocation neighborhoods of totally 200,000〔planned by Saihan Industrial Park to resettle demolished households within planning area. The 3 relocation neighborhoods above lie to the west of Pinghai Road and north of Ulan Qab Road, convenient for farmers’ life and their children’s education. All roads and auxiliary facilities in these neighborhoods are funded and constructed by Development Zone Government. See detailed demolition relocation planning in the part of “Inner Mongolia Ulan Qab Charhar Economic Development Zone Relocation Neighborhood” of the section of “Centralized Demolition” in 6.3.1

While enjoying the training and employment promotion measures in 6.2.5, employment settlement will also be provided by relocation department for affected households in villages where stations are built through making use of the advantage of adjacent railway stations to make affected people with

In a word, land acquisition and demolition impact on 2 affected villages where stations are newly built has been properly and sustainably resolved without resulting in unsustainable and degraded production and life to affected people. For land acquisition impact, both 2 villages adopt land adjustment after land acquisition upon the discussion and agreement of villagers’ meeting. Thereinto, per capita acquired land of Taogou Village is 1.21 mu after land acquisition and that of Economic Development Zone is 5.61 mu after land acquisition. Their per capita arable land can meet affected people’s demand for subsequent agricultural production. Meanwhile, the advantage of adjacent to stations also brings more job opportunities. For demolition impact, demolition is only involved in Economic Development Zone. Relocation is arranged based on the intention of affected people and combined with local planning through house returning method of “Demolish one, return one”. The house structure, degree of old and new and auxiliary facilities of returned houses are greatly enhanced, thus the living environment of affected people is also improved.

Generally, they will entrust the construction work to a local businessman. Villagers can salvage construction materials from their original houses without charge. There will be no deduction of expenses from their compensation. Compensation to orginal houses shall be paid directly to peasants before resettlement by the resettlement department of the county government.

The principle is that new houses are to be constructed before the demolition of the old ones. If demolition is carried out prior the construction of the new house, it will be necessary to provide village households will transition subsidies.

If villagers would like to enlarge the area or raise the standards of the new houses, they will have to make payment for the additional costs; based on their

World Bank Loan Project 145 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 6 Resettlement and Livelihood Development financial situations, villagers are to decide for themselves whether or not to enlarge the area or raise the standard of quality of the houses.

Labor costs and expenses for construction materials are included in the compensation for demolition. Villagers who are to construct new houses can select: 1) enlarge the area of the house and raise the level of comfort; 2) construct new houses that are of the same area, quality and standard as the previous ones and the remaining compensation can be used in other ways. The location of the new house can be negotiated between the villager and villages or village groups. Nevertheless, the new residential plot will be provided by the village to the villager without charge.

It will motivate the affected families that reconstruction of new houses is completed by themselves after they get the compensation. The families can take many ways to control and reduce cost, such as getting help from relatives and friends, utilizing original housing materials and local materials.

6.3.2 Relocation Planning for Affected Enterprises and Public Institutions

For involved affected enterprises, project owners and local demolition department have made a field survey and interviewed with enterprises owners and employee representatives to learn affected people’s views on demolition and selection on relocation way. All affected stakeholders agree to support the demolition of this project providing reasonable compensation standard and relocation has been realized. There are 34 enterprises and public institutions affected by the project. The area of removed houses amounts to 12, 4052 m 2, among which factory buildings cover 85883 m 2, bungalows cover 2,8358.76 m 2, storied houses cover 5498 m 2, and starter homes cover 4312 m 2, the land covered is 191.51 mu with 6729m enclosing walls, 10682 m 2 hardened ground and 11 wells. There are 7 enterprises make partial demolition. 4 of these 7 enterprises have specified that partial demolition scope only involve in enclosing walls without any influence to normal operation. There are 1763 people (all are contract workers) and 10 casual workers in those affected enterprises and public institutions. Apart from the 326 workers of 4 enterprises that only involved in demolition of enclosing walls, the actual affected workers amount to 1477. 16 of 34 affected enterprises

World Bank Loan Project 146 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 6 Resettlement and Livelihood Development are inclined to choose monetary compensation for relocation and the rest 18 enterprises choose reconstruction.

6.3.2.1 Principle of Relocation

16 enterprises adopt monetary relocation (see details in Table 6-11), among which are 4 enterprises only involved in demolition on enclosing walls have no influence on normal operation stated in 6.3.2.2. Henceforth, enterprises that are actually affected but volunteer to adopt monetary relocation amount to 12, with affected 121 workers. Such enterprises are all individual and private enterprises with employees no more than 20, the scale is small and the operation status is not good. So enterprise owners volunteer to adopt monetary relocation with no reconstruction. With respect to workers of those enterprises have no plans for reconstruction, relocation department and enterprises will notify them the relocation way of enterprises 6 months in advance, and offer 3 months’ wages as transition fee for the convenience of workers to get employment. As demand generally exceeds supply in local labor employment market at present, the employees under the survey also reflect new jobs can be found in other enterprises since the former enterprise closed. Meanwhile, the notice given in

World Bank Loan Project 148 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 6 Resettlement and Livelihood Development advance and offered transition fee provide them plenty of time to prepare for their satisfied jobs.

9.1.1.2 Analyses on major stakeholders

Ministry of Railways

The Ministry of Railways is the highest administrative department in charge of the construction, development, operation and management of China's national

World Bank Loan Project 170 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 9 Consultation, Appealing and Participation railway transport. In this project, the Ministry of Railways is the main funder as well as the World Bank loan borrower, shouldering the responsibility to supervise and manage the implementation of the project.

Preparation Group of Huzhang Railway Company

The preparation group of Huzhang Railway Company is set up specially by the Ministry of Railways to manage the project. The preparation group is responsible for the project bidding, supervision over the implementation of the project contractor. The group also undertakes the task to coordinate with local governments and relevant agencies to jointly fulfill the land acquisition, demolition and resettlement during the implementation of the project.

Land acquisition, demolition, resettlement and construction are major activities among the functions of the preparation group, which is directly related to the benefits of the project-affected collectives and individuals. The preparation group, on the one hand, must perform its functions to strictly supervise the safety of the project, regulate construction, and protect the production and living facilities of the affected villages and villagers. Once the facilities are used by the project, the organization should ensure that reasonable compensation is made, facilities are returned immediately; once the facilities are damaged they should be compensated accordingly and restored. Moreover, the group, together with the local government, shall properly carry out the land acquisition, demolition and resettlement, and ensure the affected farmers get the full compensation. On the other hand, the group should accept the supervision of the Ministry of Railways, local government and villages along the line; ensure to perform its functions in accordance with national and local policies and regulations; stick to the principle of "unlimited inform and consult in early phase", properly handle all possible problems concerning the rights and interests of the affected villages and villagers along the line during construction, protect the interests of the affected collectives and individuals as well as the project image.

Provincial/Autonomous Region Government

The provincial government and autonomous region government are investors as well as beneficiary of the project, taking its local fiscal revenue on land acquisition, demolition and resettlement as investment. The government not only shoulders the cost of land acquisition, demolition and resettlement, ensures the construction team's implementation, but also shoulders the important duty to protect the rights and interests of the village groups and villagers. Therefore, the government should emphasize the coordination between the constructor and

World Bank Loan Project 171 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 9 Consultation, Appealing and Participation the affected collectives and individuals along the line, and properly solve any possible disputes and conflicts. It should also pay the affected farmers the full compensation of land acquisition, demolition and resettlement, arrange homesteads timely. The government should strengthen communications and coordination and provide proper solutions to sensitive compensation standard problems concerning the vital interests of the affected collectives and individuals; it should attach great importance to any problems left behind in the past and may interfere the current project. Through consultation with relevant parties the government should provide a practical solution and reduce obstacle for the grassroots government.

Affected cities, counties / districts and township governments

Project-affected city, county and township governments are beneficiaries of the project, and also shoulder the territorial responsibility for the preparation and construction in every stage of the project. Their major tasks are to ensure the specific implementation of land acquisition, demolition and resettlement, the release of compensation, to keep order of the construction, to meditate any disputes and conflicts caused by the project, and to maintain local social order, and the rights and interests of affected businesses and residents and so on. Though these governments of different levels enjoy little power but shoulder very important responsibilities. Therefore, on the one hand, they must observe national and local policies and regulations and rightly perform their duties; on the other hand, because they're familiar with local customs and conditions as well as the laws, regulations and policies, they must make full use of these advantages to play their roles in coordination, communication and conflict resolution.

Through field investigation it is found that cadres appointed by government of all levels to assist the project, especially those appointed by the governments they're working in, have very good understanding of the project. They are well aware of potential risks and the difficulties to perform their duties. Besides they have deep understanding of local customs and conditions and are very familiar and trusted by the masses. These are the important precondition for them to do contributions to the project.

World Bank

World Bank is one of the loan providers of the project. Its contribution to the project is not limited to the loans. World Bank will specially set up a team to help owners implement the project and reduce the risks of loans. With its relevant

World Bank Loan Project 172 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 9 Consultation, Appealing and Participation operation policies and extensive experience in international projects, the team will strictly supervise and instruct the preparation, implementation of the project and also the operation and management of the later stages of the project. World Bank insists its security policies be strictly carried out in the whole process, which not only helps improve the standards of the project both in policies and operation, but also plays an important role in reducing the potential risks of the project.

Project-affected villages and individuals:

Project-affected collectives refer to village groups by land acquisition, and enterprises and institutions affected by demolition. Project-affected individuals refer to villagers, urban residents, employees in enterprises and institutions and students affected by the project. The collectives and individuals can continuously enjoy the benefits of the project, such as convenient transportation and local development, and at the same time bear the potential negative impacts of the project directly.

Through field investigation, it is found that residents along the line, particularly rural residents generally have relevant project experience in early stage, and are informed of both positive and negative impacts of the project. They trust local governments and cadres, hoping to solve disputes and conflicts through equal consultation and negotiation. They believe the village committee can represent them, knowing how to protect their own interest through appealing to the government, other legal bodies, having a universal understanding and support of the project. They are generally concerned with the following issues: Can the affected farmers be fully compensated in time? Can homesteads be arranged timely and rightly for the households whose houses are demolished? Will their living standards be maintained and improved? Will relevant information be disclosed timely? Will their suggestion be respected and adopted? Will the project bring any hidden dangers to production and living and so on.

Constructor

Currently the project is still in the early stage of preparation. The owner said it would carry out public project bidding strictly observing the national and sectoral policies and regulations to ensure the contractor is qualified. It will also strengthen the supervision and management of the contractor. Basing on the principle to benefit the communities and residents, the owner also it will ask the contractor to give priority to local surplus labor in the recruitment and give priority to local resources and products when choosing raw materials.

World Bank Loan Project 173 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 9 Consultation, Appealing and Participation 9.1.2 Stage, methods and contents of public participation

Contents and methods of public participation are respectively reflected through the following ways:

Village level: i) Village group leaders and villager representatives have been involved in investigating and confirming the amount of land to be acquired and the attachments. The participants in these investigations were the household heads, villager representatives, village cadres, the town RSOs, and the railway SDIs; iii) After the investigation is completed, the details of the expected loss of land, buildings, crops, etc. will be verified and confirmed by the affected persons. Compensation agreements will be signed by all the parties concerned with copies retained by the affected households, the RSOs of local governments, and the railway contractors; iii)The location of the new house site has significant impact on the villager’s future life and on his/her other business activities. The villagers usually hope to build their housing on both sides of highways so that they may engage in business. The Project will respect the villagers’ expectations, provide them with opportunities, and allow them a great deal of freedom in choosing new home sites. The Project also will give the affected villages sufficient room for adjustment and amelioration of their moving schedule which will reduce the need for temporary housing. Establishment of a set of monitoring mechanisms is directed against the procedures of practical implementation situateions. Public participation is one of the most important and indispensable steps in the project survey and design. Following training, the project survey and design units will go to the construction sites and conduct in-depth investigations. They hold many types of negotiation and consultation meetings to gather comments and demands on the Project from all parties along the proposed alignment. Through many consultations, including signing contracts with the concerned departments of local governments along the rail line, solutions are found to issues, which must be settled before Project construction begins, such as water supply sources, drainage, sites for fill and disposal of spoil, and stone and sand supply. In addition, the survey and design specialists discuss issues of regional benefit and work out plans to handle these issues. Public participation is also an important aspect of Project evaluation. During compiling of the Resettlement Plan for the project, in-depth investigations were conducted by the Consultant to identify issues of common concern to the affected people. Questionnaire-based surveys and interviews along the rail line were conducted. People from provinces, prefectures, counties, townships and affected villages took part in the investigations and actions, so that they became clear

World Bank Loan Project 174 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 9 Consultation, Appealing and Participation about the Project. The households interviewed were cooperative and provided detailed data on the size of family, the area of household land, household income and expenditure, housing condition and the number of durable items. Households also indicated the impact they expected from land acquisition and housing demolition, and expressed their opinions about resettlement and their attitudes toward construction of the Line. This process will continue for the preparation of detailed resettlement plans and for resettlement implementation. The Project construction process is also the process of public participation. During construction, the rural farmers and urban citizens along the alignment will have job opportunities and participate in the construction. The materials used for the construction may be procured from local sources, which will have a positive impact on the local people, industries and enterprises. During and after the completion of the Project, the monitoring and the appraisal activities will also need public participation, in order to ensure that entitlements have been received as planned. The surveys and assessment for monitoring and appraisal will need public participation and support. As the resettlement census work program is implemented, public participation will be included as a component, that will be followed by continued public participation as a component of the resettlement program, and that will be followed by public participation as a component of the monitoring and evaluation program.

9.1.3 participation in preparation stage

9.1.3.1 Meetings in the Preparatory Stage

Public participation is a major content of RAP. The major participating agency is China Railway Consultation Group. The main participation contents include coordination with local governments and relevant organization, on-site impact surveys, socio-economic surveys and social evaluation. Detailed discussions and coordination are also conducted on project improvement design, impact surveys and restoration measures, which are reflected in the process of coordination. In the process of Jihui railway project planning, many meetings were conducted with the national, provincial and local bureaus, seen in Table 9-1. Meetings are also conducted with representatives of enterprises, who represent those enterprises getting profits from project construction and operation. The most important is the ascertaining of affected villages and urban neighborhoods. Aside from holding conferences with village residents, conferences were also held for representatives of schools and other institutions that may be affected. There were a series of problems that were discussed and evaluated regarding the

World Bank Loan Project 175 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 9 Consultation, Appealing and Participation number of affected people, institutions, schools and enterprises. The extent of impact was also discussed.

In the process of the preparation for land acquisition, housing demolition and resettlement, consultations and meetings have been conducted by the Consultant and will be conducted during the Project’s implementation. Consultations will be mainly held between: MOR and the affected provinces, prefectures and county governments; The railway contractors and prefectures, and county governments along the rail line; The local RSOs, local Bureaus of Land and Resources and the affected villages and groups; The local RSOs, villages/groups and farmer households.

The content of the consultations will mainly involve the compensation standard for land acquisition and building demolition, the location and the means of new building construction, the schedule of removal, the resettlement methods, etc.

In the preparation and implementation stages of land acquisition and building demolition for the Project, the local government and the affected people, the railway support institutions at different levels, the railway sector and the local sectors will constantly hold various types of meetings, including: Villager meetings to be held in the villages or groups; Consultation meetings with the affected families to be held at the county, the township and the village levels; Meetings of the village cadres and villager representatives to be held at the county and the township levels; Negotiation meetings on the resettlement plans to be held between the project management office at the county and the township level; Working level meetings to be often held between the project management office and removal groups of the Project contractors; and county- level working meetings to be held at the prefecture-level project management office.

9.1.4 Survey on Public Opinions

From August to September 2010, the organization responsible for formulating the RAP conducted a relatively large scale survey on opinions of the society. Through random taking of samples, the opinions of 426 households (mainly the head of the household) were collected, occupying 24.61% of the total affected households. This is to identify with the opinions of the public in relevant villages with regards the project construction, land acquisition, demolition and resettlement. See Table 9-1 and 9-2 for results on relevant public and resettlers' opinions.

World Bank Loan Project 176 RAP of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway Chapter 9 Consultation, Appealing and Participation

On the overall, majority of the people acknowledged the information that the project is to start construction and expresses they are in favor of the project construction. Over half of the survey individuals (62.21%) knew the project is to be constructed, but there are still some who did not understand (16.67%, after questionaires, the interviewees began to know about the project); A large number of people (60.80%) are in favor of the project construction while 5.16% disapproves; 34.04% are indifferent;

When questioned about impacts, 89.20% considered that railway ticket prices were lower than that of coaches, thus reducing the travel cost; 43.90% considered the project would improve transportation conditions and traveling will become more convenient; 15.73% considered that project would affect the local investment environment and attract outside investors to invest locally and thus create more chances for the people;

People also mentioned about negative impacts, especially on daily life. 26.53% held that the land requisition would affect daily life; 48.59% were worried about less economic incomes due to land requisition. 24.18% thought that the local traffic conditions would be affected during the period of construction and 47.18% held that demolition of houses would bring in economic loss.

As compensation policies for land acquisition and demolition have not be finalized, a portion of the surveyed targets (42.96%) expressed they did not understand relevant compensation policies for land acquisition, over one third of the people (34.04%) were not very clear on the policies; nevertheless, but still more than half of the people (63.38%) expressed that they understood methods of appeal to safeguard their legal rights.

During surveys, the survey group collected opinions on land requisition and resettlement work. Due to relatively lower educational level of interviewees which are hard to express their opinions, therefore, the survey group drafted a generally accepted list of opinions for selection by the interviewees (See Table 9- 2). It was found out from the survey that 67.84%of the people hoped the railway line will not requisite their land and houses. But 73.24% of the people hoped to participate in the construction and earn money. 68.08% hoped to be compensated and welcome coordination and transparent policies.
