INTRODUCTION 1. This Resettlement Plan (RP) is based on the RP for the Yichang-Wanzhou Railway (YWR)1 Project prepared by Transportation and Economic Research Associates, Inc. (TERA) in October 2002. TERA conducted investigations between August and September 2002 along YWR to check the information collected by the Fourth Survey and Design Institute (FSDI) for the preparation of the Initial Draft of Resettlement Plan for the YWR. FSDI again conducted investigations in December 2002 according to the progress of the YWR feasibility study, and then integrated the major points of village rehabilitation plan and vulnerable people’s development plan made by the Resettlement Research Center of Hehai University into this report to improve and complete the RP. Afterwards, it was confirmed by Yichang City, Enshi Prefecture, and Wanzhou District and reviewed by the Foreign Capital and Technical Import Center (FCTIC) of the YWR, and then modified and edited by FSDI. 2. The RP follows the Asian Development Bank (ADB) format. After the summary in the next Section, Sections 3 through 14 cover specific topics in accordance with the ADB guidelines for preparing RPs.2 Annexes include supportive background and statistical data. II. SUMMARY OF THE RESETTLEMENT PLAN A. Introduction 3. This RP was prepared for land acquisition, house demolition, and resettlement of persons affected by the YWR Project. MOR is the Project Owner and Project Executing Agency. Some 1,087 hectares (has) of land will be acquired for the YWR right-of-way, yards, stations, and other associated facilities, or 2.77 ha per route kilometer. An additional 203 ha of land will be acquired for temporary use during construction. Around 39.4% of the permanently acquired land is agricultural land. About 449,169 square meters (m2) of buildings will be removed along the railway alignment for construction purposes, or 1,149 m2 per route km. Most of the demolished buildings are farmers’ houses and outbuildings. An estimated 7,423 persons will be affected by loss of land and 17,752 by loss of housing. Generally, many will be affected by both loss of land and loss of housing and when this double-counting is removed the total impact is estimated at 20,142 persons, or 52 persons per route km. While this is a large number, the affected persons (APs) constitute less than five tenths of 1% of the total population of 3.85 million in the eight county level units of local government along the alignment. The proposed alignment was selected to generally minimize resettlement effects. The alignment avoids urban areas, even in more urbanized counties. 1 ADB. 2002. Technical Assistance to the People’s Republic of China for the Yichang-Wanzhou Railway. Manila. 2 Handbook on Resettlement, A Guide to Good Practice. Manila. 6 B. Socioeconomic Analysis 4. As part of the Project preparation, a socioeconomic analysis was carried out. Data was gathered from official statistical sources at the national, provincial, prefecture, and county levels. Meetings were held with local officials and other interested parties along the alignment. A survey of affected villages and households was begun by FSDI in late 2001 and organized by FCTIC of MOR in August 2002. 5. APs were also interviewed for their views and concerns several times between late 2001 and September 2002. Six of the eight counties are nationally designated poverty counties, where per capita rural income is below the average for the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Over 1.6 million people (42% of the population of these counties) are poor.3 6. While over 35% of the populations of the eight counties are members of minority nationalities, they are economically and socially integrated and not disadvantaged in comparison with the Han (majority) Chinese. Four of the on-line counties are part of the Enshi Tujia and Miao Nationalities Autonomous Prefecture.

    Journal of Palaeogeography 2014, 3(4): 384-409 DOI: 10.3724/SP.J.1261.2014.00063 Lithofacies palaeogeography and sedimentology Lithofacies palaeogeography of the Late Permian Wujiaping Age in the Middle and Upper Yangtze Region, China Jin-Xiong Luo*, You-Bin He, Rui Wang School of Geosciences, Yangtze University, Wuhan 430100, China Abstract The lithofacies palaeogeography of the Late Permian Wujiaping Age in Middle and Upper Yangtze Region was studied based on petrography and the “single factor analysis and multifactor comprehensive mapping” method. The Upper Permian Wujiaping Stage in the Middle and Upper Yangtze Region is mainly composed of carbonate rocks and clastic rocks, with lesser amounts of siliceous rocks, pyroclastic rocks, volcanic rocks and coal. The rocks can be divided into three types, including clastic rock, clastic rock-limestone and lime- stone-siliceous rock, and four fundamental ecological types and four fossil assemblages are recognized in the Wujiaping Stage. Based on a petrological and palaeoecological study, six single factors were selected, namely, thickness (m), content (%) of marine rocks, content (%) of shallow water carbonate rocks, content (%) of biograins with limemud, content (%) of thin- bedded siliceous rocks and content (%) of deep water sedimentary rocks. Six single factors maps of the Wujiaping Stage and one lithofacies palaeogeography map of the Wujiaping Age were composed. Palaeogeographic units from west to east include an eroded area, an alluvial plain, a clastic rock platform, a carbonate rock platform where biocrowds developed, a slope and a basin. In addition, a clastic rock platform exists in the southeast of the study area. Hydro- carbon source rock and reservoir conditions were preliminarily analyzed based on lithofacies palaeogeography.

PhytoKeys 108: 117–129. https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.108.25600 Abstract Species delimitation in the genus Populus is particularly challenging due to high levels of intraspecific polymorphism as well as frequent interspecific hybridisation and introgression. In this study, we aimed to examine the taxonomic status of Populus ningshanica and P. wulianensis using an integrative taxonomy that considers multiple operational criteria. We carried out morphometric analyses of leaf traits and genetic examinations (including sequence variations at five barcoding DNAs and polymorphisms at 14 nuclear microsatellite SSR primers) at the population level between them and two closely related species P. adenopoda and P. davidiana. Results suggest that P. wulianensis belongs to the polymorphic species, P. adenopoda and should be considered as a synonym of the latter. P. ningshanica may have arisen as a result on the hybridisation between P.

  • Natural Hybridization Between Persian Walnut and Chinese Walnut Revealed by Simple Sequence Repeat Markers
    J. AMER.SOC.HORT.SCI. 141(2):146–150. 2016. Natural Hybridization between Persian Walnut and Chinese Walnut Revealed by Simple Sequence Repeat Markers Zhan Shu, Xue Zhang, Dianqiong Yu, Sijia Xue, and Hua Wang1 Key Laboratory of Horticultural Plant Biology, Ministry of Education, College of Horticulture and Forestry Sciences, Huazhong Agricultural University, Shizishan Street, 430070 Wuhan, People’s Republic of China ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. introgression, microsatellite, Juglans cathayensis, Juglans regia ABSTRACT. Hybridization between species of the genus Juglans is common because of weak reproductive isolation mechanisms between closely related species with sympatric distributions. In this research, we investigated the possibility of naturally occurring interspecific hybrids between two species in the genus Juglans: persian walnut (Juglans regia) and chinese walnut (Juglans cathayensis). We used 12 pairs of microsatellite markers to analyze introgression between the two species. All amplified microsatellites were polymorphic in the two species. The result of Bayesian admixture analyses showed that introgression between the two species is rare; only three of nine individuals tentatively identified as hybrids, based on intermediate morphological characteristics, were defined as mixed genotypes. The other six putative hybrids and 156 morphologically pure individuals showed no sign of introgression. Natural hybridization between sympatric forest tree species topography. Juglans cathayensis generally grows on mountain is common in natural populations; it can influence the genetic slopes or in valleys with 500- to 2800-m elevations. In Hubei diversity within species and promote new species formation Province, China, these two species are frequently sympatric in (Arnold, 2006; Lexer et al., 2005).

    2019 4th International Social Sciences and Education Conference (ISSEC 2019) Effect Analysis and Mechanism Design of Poverty Alleviation in Chinese Contiguous Impoverished Areas——Taking Hubei Province as an Example Yipping Xu*, Wenwu Chen Economics and Finance Department, Wuhan Business University, Wuhan, Hubei, China *Corresponding E-mail: [email protected] Keywords: Contiguous impoverished areas; Poverty alleviation effect evaluation; Principal component analysis; Regional development Abstract: Poverty alleviation work in China’ s contiguous impoverished areas has entered a crucial stage. It is urgent to solve such problems as low precision of poverty alleviation policies, inaccurate regional positioning, poor poverty alleviation efficiency, and multi-dimensional poverty alleviation. Based on such five dimensions of economic level as the output level, consumption level, human resources and medical security, the author constructed a comprehensive evaluation model for poverty alleviation effect in China’s contiguous impoverished areas by the principal component and cluster analysis method, and take Hubei Province as an example, ranking and classifying the comprehensive evaluation of poverty alleviation effects in four contiguous impoverished areas and 29 impoverished counties/urban areas in Hubei Province. The results show that the development of contiguous impoverished areas is quite different, and the poverty alleviation efficiency still needs to be improved. Since the reform and opening, China has vigorously promoted poverty alleviation work, along with the formulation and execution of policies like “China Rural Poverty Alleviation and Development Program (2011-2020)” (hereinafter referred to as the “Outline”) [1], “Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Implementing the Rural Revitalization Strategy” [2], poverty alleviation has made great achievements.

    Journal of Linguistic Geography (2015) 3,1–19. © Cambridge University Press 2015 ORIGINAL RESEARCH doi:10.1017/jlg.2015.3 The Perceptual Categorization of Enshi Mandarin Regional Varieties Qingyang Yan* Ohio State University The current study used a hand-drawn map task, a dialect difference rating task, and a dialect classification task to explore the relationship between participants’ ideologies about dialect differences and their classification of authentic talkers from six regional varieties in Enshi Prefecture, China. The talkers frequently mistaken for each other in the dialect classification task were those who came from counties that were perceived to have similar dialects in the hand-drawn map task and the dialect difference rating task. Participants showed a positive response bias for the Enshi dialect in classifying talkers, corresponding to the dialect difference ratings that Enshi was rated as least different. Thus participants’ classification of real talkers was largely consistent with their ideologies about differences among “imagined” dialects. Participants’ ideologies about dialect differences were shaped by their home county, and their classification performance was affected by their home county and the talker’s social background. 1. Introduction Prefecture, Hubei Province, China. This study aimed to examine how participants’ home county affected their In perceptual dialectology, a set of methods have been perceptions of dialect differences across counties and developed to elicit nonlinguists’ perceptions of and whether their perceptions differed for different regional beliefs about regional varieties (Benson, 2003; Evans, dialects. Participants’ perceptions of dialect differences 2011; Hartley, 1999, 2005; Preston, 1986, 1989). These were elicited by a hand-drawn map task and a dialect methods, including hand-drawn maps, are typically difference rating task.
