Impact Ratio of Cultivated Land Acquisition RP-11 The World Bank Financed VOL. 1 National Highway project IV in Hubei Province Public Disclosure Authorized RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Hubei Province Jingzhu Expressway Resettlement Office March 1999 Wuhan, China Public Disclosure Authorized The Definition of Resettlement Terminology of RAP Acquisition of land and other assets for the project will adversely affect the livelihood of persons who live, work or earn their living on' the land that will be acquired for the project. PAPs are defined as those persons whose income or livelihood will be adversely affected by land acquisition for the project. PAPs include the following categories: 1) persons who have title, right, interest in structure(houses,enterprises, shelters, or public building), land(including residential, agricultural and grazing land) or any other asset acquired or possessed, in full or in part, permanently or temporarily; 2) persons who use the structures, land or assets described abovc or persons whose business, occupation, work, place of residence or habitat adversely affected; or 3) persons whose standard of living is adversely affected as a consequence of land acquisition. A definition of PAPs is given below: Definition of PAPs: Affected person means persons who on account of the execution of the project had or would have their: a) standard of living adversely affected; or b) right, title or interest in any house, land(including premises, agricultural and grazing land) or any other fixed or movable asset acquired or possessed, temporarily or permanently; or c) business, occupation, work or place of residence or habitat adversely affected, and affected person mean individually all tho,sewho qualify as affected person. PAPs may be individuals or legal persons such ad a company, a public institution. Definition of PAPs is not limited to their legal registration or permission to live or conduct business in the affected location, or their title to property. Thus, it includes: a) all those affected by the project regardless of their legal rights or absence thereof the assets being taken; and b) persons without residential permiitto live in a certain area. Therefore all such persons who are affected will need to considered and recorded as PAPs, regardless of their legal connection to assets land or location. If there are more than one person, family or household using or holding a title to the same land or property that is acquired, they will be compensated and rehabilitated according to the loss they suffer, their rights and the impact on their living standards. The definition of PAPS is link directly to the * adverse affect of the project, regardless of legal rights title or interest All PAPs are entitled to the improvement or at least restoration of theiir * standards of living, and compensation for the material losses they suffer. Compensation for assets will cover replacement cost No deductions or discounts will be applied to the compensation amount for depreciation or other reasons. All PAPs deriving an economic benefit inn addition to the compensation for their assets lost. Those PAPs without title, authorization or legal permission to reside, conduct business, cultivate land or construct structures are eligible for rehabilitation of their livelihoodsand compensationfor their assets on a equal footing with those with formal legal title, authorization or permissions to the assets. The term RESETTLEMENTincludes: a) the relocation of living quarte:rs; b) finding acceptable new employment for those whose jibs are affected; c) restoration(or compensation) of affected productive resources such as land, workplace, trees and infrastructure; d) restoration of other adverse effect on PAPs living standards(quality of life) through land acquisition (such as the adverse effects of pollution); e) restoration of or compensation for affected private and ;public enterprises, and f) restoration of adversely affected on cultural or common property. Rehabilitation mean: the restoration of PAPs resource capacity to continue with productive activities or lifestyles at a level higher or at least equal to that before the project. The objective of this RAP is to provide a plan for the resettlement and rehabilitation of the PAPs so that their losses will be improve or at least restored to the pre-project levels. To achieve these objectives the plan provides for rehabilitation measures so that the income eaming potential of individuals are restored to sustain their livelihoods. Affected productive resources of business (enterprises including shops ) and public property. Infirastructureand cultural property will also be improved or at least restored to their pre-project level. /l1-14 l ti i"i14 iikjJI5L L L A t ION bKECHlt DRAWING it U II. .. !1 tl * I><. l*^8tT . _ t-l_ / 11..~\) / E 8" ? {~~X8gr _ N~-=u yHenan Province t ri . ,of~StJJingzhu Expressway U 1IE5\tt ,, / ltl = < 1vNorth J Section > -;airl * l~~i 'r W~* E/liX/- /"( KhIt, .4o 17 0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~4 . ..

Chapter 1 Project Background 1.1 Brief Description of the Project Jingzhu Expressway is one of the main communications trunks from nordt to south in China, and it is also one of the key communications projects during the period of Ninth-Five-Year Plan(9th FYP). The section of this project in Hubei province, with total length of 339 km(including 45km of Hurong expressway), starts at Jiuliguan of Dawu county, passing by Xiaogan city (Dawu, Xiaochang and Xiaonan) , Wuhan city ( Dongxihu, Chaidian and Jiangxia) and XianganPrefecture ( Xianganand Cibi C), ends at Tucheng village of Cibi city where the project is linked up with that of Hunan Province. Hubei section of Jingzhu Expressway consists of three projects: a) the north section, b) Wuhan Junshan Yangtze River Bridge, c) the south section(from Zhengdian of Jiangxia to Cibi C Tucheng). Among the them, the north section (from Dawu Chenguan to Zhengdian) and the roundabout route in Wuhan city of Hurong Expressway compose the Project III financed by the World Bank. The south section in Hubei Province and the north section in Hunan Province compose the Project l\'financed by the Bank. Junshan Yangtze River Bridge will be built with other investment form. Mandated by Hubei Province Communications Department (HPCD), Hubei Provincial Communications Planning and Designing Institute(CPDI) finished the main report of feasibility study of Project IV in May 1996, and provided recommended route and comparative route. Convened by Hubei Province Planning Commission(HPPC) and HPCD organized some related departments to examine the report and required CPDI to undertake the deeply survey and more compares in August 1996. During the visit to Hubei in November. 1997, the World Bank mission give us some opinions about the alignment studv and compares of NHIV. According to the opinions of the World Bank mission and some native specialists. and also takina account of the enuineerini!. environment and resettlement. CPDI conducted the same deep investigation to Xianganproposal 1. Xianganproposal 11 Xianganproposal IIl and Jia\u Proposal.

Paota in XianganCity, Quankou, Zhonghuopu, Cunchuan Caanlin of Cibi County and ends at Tucheng and connects with the north section of Hunan Province. The total length of this aligmnent is 110Km,Most of area that this alignment will pass are light hill. The construction conditionis fairly convenient. This alignment is close to NH107 and will attractive a lot of traffic volume and do great good to XianganCity,so local government support this proposal very much. The proposal II will start at Shenshan of Jiangxia D, passing by Jinshui T, Fasi, in Jiangxia D, Dupukou in Jiayu County, Gantang in XianganC, Qu'ankou,Langqiao, Yangjialin Caanlin, Fenghuangshanin puqi County, ends at Tucheng and links with Hunan Province. The total length of this alignment is 103Km, in it, 32Kmrwill pass through the lake, the construction conditionis poor. The Proposal III starts at Shenshan in Jiangxia D. The section from Shenshan to Beilin of Jiayu is the same as the Proposal II, from Beilin to south, it will pass Shoujiawan of Jiayu County, Shijiawan of Xianning, Shenshan, Songjiahe, Huanglong to Chenjiafan, the next section is the same as proposal II. The total length of this alignment is 1OlKm. In it, 37 Km will pass through the lake. The alignment from start point to Yinjiajiao of Jiayu of Jiayu proposal is the same as Proposal II. After that it will pass Dupukou, Yuyue T, Guanqiao, Fenghuangshan, Caanlin and will link with proposal II in Chenjiafan. The total length of this alignment is 97Km. In it, 44Km will pass through the lake and 33Km will be soft subgrade. The construction condition is poor and this alignment is far away from XianganC. Local governmnentdo not support this proposal. Among the above proposals, XianganproposalIII and Jiayu proposal IV do not satisfy with this project. As far as proposal I and II. Proposal II's distance is short. but hydrology and geography condition is bad. According to the investigation result and specialists' review'ing.Xianganproposal I is the recommended alignment.

Received: 9 August 2017; Accepted: 12 October 2017; Published: 17 October 2017 Abstract: Urban leisure venues proffer spatial carriers for citizens’ leisure activities and their functions rely heavily on the spatial configuration, which have largely been ignored. The increasing needs for healthy leisure life and the availability of geospatial open data provide a rising opportunity to fill this gap. To examine the spatial distribution of leisure venues and explore its underlying dominating factors, we adopt geospatial analysis techniques—point pattern analysis and cluster analysis with multi-sources geospatial data in Wuhan, Central China. Results conclude interesting spatial discrepancy based on a three-level clustered pattern of 86520 leisure venues.

The study of cross-administrative LUI in urban agglomerations is of great importance for the sustainable development of land, new urbanization, and territorial spatial planning. In this study, the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in China was used as the case study area to explore the spatial spillover effect through the administrative division, underlying driving mechanism, and spatial interactions or constraints of LUI. First, LUI was measured using the index of the proportion of construction land to the total area of the administrative region. Second, the adjacency relationship of the county-level administrative units was identified on the basis of the queen-type adjacency criterion under the county-level administrative division system. Thereafter, spatial weight matrix for spatial modeling was constructed.

Compared with traditional methods, big data has great potential in developing a more accurate method for identifying the urban spatial pattern. This paper uses diversity index and kernel density analysis of POI data on several types of urban infrastructure to investigate the identification of urban block development stages in Wuhan, and divides them into the primary, growth, and mature stage. Its accuracy is verified by exploring urban micro-centers. Results show that: (1) the spatial pattern of urban blocks in Wuhan presents the distribution of “mature blocks concentrated like a core, growth blocks distributed like two wings, and primary blocks with wide range distributed surround”; (2) areas with more connected construction land and streets with better socio-economic status tend to have a higher level of maturity, vice versa; (3) balancing the number of micro-centers at different stages is beneficial to promote the flattened urban development of Wuhan in the future. The research proves that this method is feasible, and it is also applicable to the study of urban spatial pattern in other cities.
