II Executive Summary 1) Overview of the Road Project 1. The recommended route plan of The Road Project is as follows. The beginning of the route is national road 319, then to the east the route entering the Dongyuan Township from Jiguanshan Township. After that, entering Chishan Town by using a north-south ridge line and valley line in the middle of Dongyuan Township, and along the eastern industrial park periphery of Chishan Town and the Shanghai-Kunming freeway. The route goes into Gaokeng Town, then enters into Yuannan Township along the Shanghai-Kunming freeway and after a valley line across a mountain. After that, the route needs to combine with industrial park planning of Luxi, to across five low mountains into Yinhe Town; to combine with the national and provincial agricultural industrial park planning of Yinhe Town, and then to enter Xuanfeng Town by using low hills across Yuan River, and to use the existing railway passage to cross the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway, and finally to use the existing road connected to national road 320, which it is the end of the route. The length of the route is about 44.014km, of which the valley line length is 29.3km, the ridge line is 1.2km, the length of mountainside line is 15.8km, and the ridge crossing line is 3.824km. 2. The Road Project will be started in September 2016 and be completed in August 2018. 2) Land acquisition and house demolition 3. Land acquisition (LA) involves in 7 towns with 26 villages of Shangli County, Anyuan District and Luxi County with affecting a total population of 2,165 households with 8,707 persons (including 25 staff members of 2 enterprises), which include female population 3,698, accounting for 49.84%, and include minority 11 HHs with 15 persons.. 4. 742.535 mu of collective land will be acquired, affecting 1,855 households with 7,419 persons. Residential houses of 12,952.1 ㎡ will be demolished, affecting 36 households with 165 persons. 502.6 mu land will be acquired for temporarily, affecting 274 households with 1,098 persons. Non-residential houses of 941.6 ㎡ will be demolished, affecting 2 enterprises and public institutions with 25 persons. 3) Policy framework and entitlements 5. In order to avoid or reduce negative impacts of LA, adequate consultation was conducted on the potential site of the Road Project, the affected village groups and persons at the feasibility study stage. An optimum option was selected through comparison. 6. This RP is based on the Land Administration Law of the PRC (2004), the Decision of the State Council on Deepening the Reform and Rigidly Enforcing Land Administration (SC [2004] No.28), the applicable policies of Jiangxi Province, and ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). According to the above policies, and in consultation with local governments and affected persons (APs), the resettlement principles of the Road Project are: 1) Screen the Road Project early on to identify past, present, and future involuntary resettlement impacts and risks. Determine the scope of resettlement planning through a survey and/or census of displaced persons, including a gender analysis, specifically related to resettlement impacts and risks. 2) Carry out meaningful consultations with affected persons, host communities, and concerned nongovernment organizations. Inform all displaced persons of their entitlements and 2 resettlement options. Ensure their participation in planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of resettlement programs. Pay particular attention to the needs of vulnerable groups, especially those below the poverty line, the land-loss, the elderly, women and children, and Indigenous Peoples, and those without legal title to land, and ensure their participation in consultations. Establish a grievance redress mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of the affected persons’ concerns. Support the social and cultural institutions of displaced persons and their host population. Where involuntary resettlement impacts and risks are highly complex and sensitive, compensation and resettlement decisions should be preceded by a social preparation phase. 3) Improve, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons through (I) land-based resettlement strategies when affected livelihoods are land based where possible or cash compensation at replacement value for land when the loss of land does not undermine livelihoods, (ii) prompt replacement of assets with access to assets of equal or higher value, (iii) prompt compensation at full replacement cost for assets that cannot be restored, and (iv) additional revenues and services through benefit sharing schemes where possible. 4) Provide physically and economically displaced persons with needed assistance, including the following: (I) if there is relocation, secured tenure to relocation land, better housing at resettlement sites with comparable access to employment and production opportunities, integration of resettled persons economically and socially into their host communities, and extension of project benefits to host communities; (ii) transitional support and development assistance, such as land development, credit facilities, training, or employment opportunities; and (iii) civic infrastructure and community services, as required. 5) improve the standards of living

Identifying the human impact on regional SE changes is increasingly essential for pertinent SE management. Jiangxi province is studied here as a representative area of hilly-red-soil regions within southern China. The main objectives of this study were to investigate the changing trend of SE within Jiangxi and identify human impacts on regional SE change from the perspective of spatial differences, through a new approach based on a gravity-center model. Our results showed that SE status presented an overall amelioration from 1990 to 2015, while the average soil erosion modulus (SEM) declined from 864 to 281 Mg/(km2 a). Compared to the situation · under human and natural impacts, human-induced spatial differences of SE change demonstrated that the western and northwest regions showed stronger negative effects; the southern region shifted towards negative effects; the northeast region presented a much weaker negative effect.
