The GMS Corridors are seen as initializing projects for economic cooperation in the sub region and serves the sub-regional development along the important axes. The improvement of the project corridor National Road-4 will facilitate development between the neighbouring countries. In particular the transport infrastructure will complement the Governments programs to promote agricultural and industrial production in the corridor of influence area by redressing the transport deficiencies and providing more reliable and less costly transport services. Under the proposed Northern GMS Transport Network Project some 370 km of the National Road- 4 is to be rehabilitated and improved in the province of Luang Prabang and Sayaboury including a bridge crossing of the Mekong at Thadeua. In addition some 100 km of rural access roads will be improved under the community infrastructure component of the project. 2.0 OBJECTIVES OF THE EMP MONITORING The rehabilitation of the National Road-4 would give rise a number of positive impacts, and give better connectivity to the rural areas with the adjacent towns. The adverse impacts during the construction stage can be mitigated by implementing the monitoring and the suitable mitigation measures at proper place and time. The EMP has been developed for mitigating the negative impacts through the activities below. x Reviewing the IEE Report prepared in 2007; x Site investigating to identifying additional negative impacts to be considered in the EMP; x Clarifying the institutional aspect that necessary for the implementation of EMP, including that for establishment of Environment Social Responsible Staff (ESRS). The Environmental Management Plan (EMP), deals strictly with those actions needed to monitor and mitigate potential negative environmental impacts of the project The EMP has the following components: 9 Environmental Control and Mitigation Measures. 9 Monitor the implementation Program 9 Reporting to the Designated Institutions. 9 Training and Capacity Buildings 9 Construction Supervision of Environment Procedures 9 Environmental monitoring Checklist MinistryofPublicWorksandTransport LTECinassociationwith DepartmentofRoads RoughtonͲBuraphaGroup&LCG http://www.adb11project.laopdr.org/ Northern GMS Transport Network SemiͲAnnual ReportNo.:SAEMRͲ2 ImprovementProject(ADB/11) EnvironmentalMonitoring Period:JulyͲDecember2011 GrantNo.0082ͲLAO(SF) Report Page | 4 3.0 SCOPE AND REPORTING PERIOD Reporting Period: 6 months from June till December 2011 Scope: Environmental control by monitoring of the civil work activities and the contractor’s action for the mitigation measures to be required. 4.0 METHODOLOGY To ensure that all environmental requirements are being complied, the following activates are taken for the project implementation and monitoring arrangements: (i) Weekly/daily environmental monitoring by the environmental officer of the contractor and consultant supervision staff will be done based on the Checklist attached, and the issues should be identified for the contractor’s action, (ii) Monthly environmental monitoring by the environmental officer of the contractor and RE of the consultant will be done based on the Control Sheet attached, and the RE of consultant will monitor the contractor’s activity if the rectification has been done or not in the deadline.

  • Khmuic Linguistic Bibliography with Selected Annotations
    Journal of the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society JSEALS Vol. 10.1 (2017): i-xlvi ISSN: 1836-6821, DOI: http://hdl.handle.net/10524/52401 University of Hawaiʼi Press eVols KHMUIC LINGUISTIC BIBLIOGRAPHY WITH SELECTED ANNOTATIONS Nathaniel CHEESEMAN Linguistics Institute, Payap University, Thailand Paul SIDWELL Australian National University R. Anne OSBORNE SIL International Abstract: The Khmuic languages represent a branch in the north-central region of the Austroasiatic family. While there are several existing Khmuic bibliographies, namely, Smalley (1973), Proschan (1987), Preisig and Simana (n.d.), Renard (2015), and Lund University (2015), this paper seeks to combine, update and organize these materials into a more readily accessible online resource. A brief overview of Khmuic languages and their linguistic features is given. References are organized according to linguistic domain, with some annotations. An updated language index of a dozen Khmuic languages is also included. Keywords: Austroasiatic, Mon-Khmer, Khmuic, bibliography ISO 639-3 codes: bgk, kjm, xao, kjg, khf, xnh, prb, mlf, mra, tyh, pnx, prt, pry, puo 1. Introduction The Ethnologue, (19th edition), lists thirteen Khmuic languages. Khmuic languages are spoken primarily in northern Laos, but also are found in Thailand and Vietnam. The Khmuic language family is a Sub-branch of the Austroasiatic linguistic family that is dispersed throughout Southeast Asia. Since the early 1970s, five major bibliographies on Khmuic languages have been produced. Most of these focus on Khmu, the largest Khmuic language group. Smalley (1973) wrote the first major Khmuic bibliography that gives readers a mid-twentieth century snapshot of Khmu. This work was an expansion of Smalley’s earlier listings of major Khmu works found in Outline of Khmuˀ structure (Smalley 1961a).
