INTRODUCTION 1. This summary environmental impact assessment (SEIA) reviews the environmental issues relating to the Central Yunnan Roads Development Project (the Project), in Yunnan Province in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The SEIA was prepared in accordance with the Environmental Assessment Guidelines1 and the Environment Policy (2002)2 of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The Project is classified category A in ADB environmental classification criteria. The construction is anticipated to take 3.5 years to complete. 2. This SEIA is primarily based on: (i) the environmental impact assessment (EIA)3 for the Wuding–Kunming Expressway, which includes three interchange linking roads; 4 (ii) the feasibility study report for the Wuding–Kunming Expressway 5 and its supplemental report; 6 (iii) the initial environmental examination (IEE) of seven local roads; and (iv) the work7 of the technical assistance consulting team under the project preparatory technical assistance (PPTA). 3. The EIA was conducted in accordance with relevant laws, regulations, and standards, including, in particular: (i) PRC Technical Guidelines on Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Protection Standards,8 and (ii) Ministry of Communications (MOC) Standards for Environmental Impact Assessment of Highway Construction Projects.9 The EIA was issued by the MOC Highway Research Institute in March 2006; it was updated in October 2006, incorporating the technical review comments from the Environmental Division of MOC and the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA). The EIA was submitted to SEPA in November 2006, and is anticipated to be approved by May 2007. The soil erosion prevention plan (SEPP) 10 was completed by Chongqing Highway Research and Design Institute in May 2006. The SEPP was reviewed in April 2006 by the Ministry of Water Resources. The final SEPP was submitted to the Ministry of Water Resources in April 2006, and is anticipated to be approved by May 2007. 4. An lEE11 was carried out by the PPTA consultant for seven local roads under the Project. The summary IEE (SIEE) is in Appendix 1. 1 MOC. 1998. Guideline on Environmental Protection of Roads.

The Project is located in the central part of Yunnan Province in the southwestern region of the PRC (Map 1). The project alignment links Kunming City and Wuding County. The project area—defined as the area of counties and municipalities through which the expressway and seven local roads pass—covers Wuhua and Xishan Districts; Fumin, Luquan, and Wuding Counties; and Kunming City. The project area is characterized by hilly and mountainous terrain. The proposed expressway is an important section of the Lanzhou (Gansu Province) to Mohan (Yunnan Province) national expressway; and it plays an important role in linking the northwest, southwest, and south PRC. 6. The Project includes three physical components (Map 2): (i) construction of a 64.7 kilometer (km) four-lane expressway, (ii) improving seven local roads, and (iii) upgrading four transport centers.

  • Towards a History of Bible Translation Among the Dialects and Ethnic Languages of China / Simon Wong 127
    Towards a History of Bible Translation among the Dialects and Ethnic Languages of China / Simon Wong 127 Towards a History of Bible Translation among the Dialects and Ethnic Languages of China Simon Wong* 1. Introduction Study on the history of Bible translation in China may be divided into three categories according to the language typology in China: classical Chinese and Mandarin Chinese, dialects (or more adequately, fangyan), and ethnic minority languages. The history of Bible translation in classical Chinese and Mandarin Chinese has been widely explored.1) More recently, our UBS colleague in the Asia‐Pacific area, Dr. Suee‐yan Yu, has written a very fine study in this area with the title “A Brief History of Bible Translation into Chinese and its Contemporary Implications” and it was published in Journal of Biblical Text Research. By contrast, systematic study of the history of Bible translation among the Chinese dialects and minority languages has received very little attention. Scarcity of information is the most practical problem hindering such research. However, the overwhelming dominance of Mandarin Chinese and consequently of the Mandarin Chinese translations (such as the Chinese Union Version) is perhaps the ultimate cause leading to the marginalization of these important topics in the history of Bible translation. As a continuation to Yu’s study, the present paper attempts to provide a preliminary sketch of the history of Bible translation among the dialects and the minority languages in China. The term “China” in this paper is understood in a broad and inclusive sense including both Mainland China (People’s Republic of China) and Taiwan (Republic of China); this does not necessarily imply any * UBS Asia-Pacific Area Translation Consultant.

  • Assessing the Linguistic Vitality of Miqie: an Endangered Ngwi (Loloish) Language of Yunnan, China
    Vol. 9 (2015), pp. 164–191 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24640 Assessing the Linguistic Vitality of Miqie: An Endangered Ngwi (Loloish) Language of Yunnan, China Katie B. Gao University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Language shift is the process by which a speech community in a contact situation gradu- ally abandons one language in favor of another. Because the causal factors of language shift are largely social (Fishman 1991), languages, groups, and communities with di- verse social situations can be expected to exhibit varying levels of language shift. This paper reports on the linguistic vitality of Miqie [ISO 639-3:yiq], an endangered Central Ngwi/Yi language of Yunnan, China, and identifies the social factors contributing to language shift. Findings from participant interviews in 11 village survey points show there are varying degrees of language endangerment, with intermarriage and access to a major road as primary indicators of shift. This paper evaluates different tools for as- sessing linguistic vitality and uses the Language Endangerment Index (Lee & Van Way in press) to assess Miqie language endangerment at the village level. Language shift information is essential in the description and documentation of a language, especially because the contexts in which the language is spoken may disappear faster than the language itself. 1. INTRODUCTION.1 Language shift is the process by which a speech community in a con- tact situation gradually abandons one language in favor of another.
