vi 1. Project Overview

1.1 Brief Introduction to the Project

The World Bank financed Wuhan Urban Transport (Phase II) ,one of the key projects in Wuhan City , is a new project aimed at further improving Wuhan urban transport on the basis of the World Bank financed Wuhan Urban Transport Project (Phase I). The Phase-II project includes four subprojects: (1) public transport priority corridor improvement subproject; (2) road and safety subproject; (3) transport demand management subproject: (4) road network improvement subproject; and (5) technical assistance subproject. According to the preliminary plan, the project will be commenced in the second half of 2009, and the construction period will be five years. Public transport corridor improvement subproject Construction contents: newly build five bus-specific lanes with total length of 33km; and build four bus stations, including 1 junction station, 2 initial and terminal stations and 1 PHK parking lot. Meanwhile, the construction of bay stations will be carried out to fit in the subproject of road network improvement. Road and safety subproject The traffic safety improvement for safety corridors of 5 roads, priority measures of public transport corridors, and the comprehensive safety construction of roads within the Second Ring Line.

1.2 Region Benefiting From the Project

The phase-II construction of the World Bank financed Wuhan Urban Transport Project will help Wuhan to build a powerful transport system, fulfill the increasing transport demand, reduce traffic jam in the central city zone, gradually realize the smoothness within the Second Ring Line, improve urban layout, direct the harmonious development of urban land use, further optimize urban road network, bring the city into full play in under-construction and completed projects, and further raise its management level. Therefore, the region benefiting from the project will be the whole city of Wuhan. Wuhan City, at East Longitude 113°41 115°05 and North Latitude 29°58 31°22 , is located in the east of Jianhan Plain and at the junction of River and Hanjiang River, and is reputed as the River City. Its largest east-west width is 134km, and largest south-north length 155km. In the economic and geographic layers of , Wuhan has an advantaged location, about 300km away from , , , Xiangfan, and in Hubei Province in the inner layer, about 600 km from such large and medium-size cities as , , , and in the middle layer, and about 1200km from such super-large cities as , , , , , Xi’an in the outer layer. It is the capital of Hubei Province and the largest city in the region, and has long been reputed as the Thoroughfare to . Since the reform and opening up, Wuhan has increased its investment in transport construction, actively improving transport environment and facilitating economic development. However, compared with other comparable cities in China, the current demand and supply of transport is at a lower level, and transport management is also relatively backward, mostly embodied as below: 1) The overall transport construction lags behind the urban development. The capacity of road transport is inadequate, and the construction of track transport and cross-river passages is under demand. 2) Traffic conflict in the central area is conspicuous. The average driving speed in

3 the central area declines continuously, and that in 2007 was 23.9km/hour. The traffic problem in is especially severe, and the average driving speed was only 21.9km/hour. Wuhan City was divided by Yangtze River and Hanjiang River into Hankou, Hanyang and Wuchang, and there are many hills and lakes in the city. Besides, affected by railways, the traffic network objectively is bad, the transport in the city zone is extremely concentrated on a few cross-river passages and main trunks linking to them, and bus lines have a high overlapping coefficient, increasing the difficulty of transport organization and management. 3) The predominance of public transport has not been established. The proportion of public transport is comparatively low, 20%-23% of the travel mode structure of residents. At present, routine ground bus still serves as the main carrier, rapid passenger transport system is absent, and the service of public transport has to be improved. Traffic transport is just new and has not played the role of shaft for public transport. Compared with other main large cities in China, the construction of urban track transport in Wuhan not only has a late start, but also has a small construction scale. 4) Transport management cannot meet the requirement of rapid development of the city. On the one hand, the existing road transport resources in Wuhan are limited, and the construction of road facilities, parking facilities and pedestrian overpasses is backward; on the other hand, some people have weak traffic awareness, there are severe phenomena of operation and parking with occupying roads illegally, and pedestrians walk and drivers drive at will, resulting in low utilization efficiency of the limited transport resources. Especially, the transport potential of many streets and alleys in the central area has not been developed, so the accessibility is low and residents have difficulty in travels; “dead-end roads” and “bottleneck roads” obstruct completed roads from being put into normal operation. Additionally, transport management has to be improved. For the control of most regional road transport in the city zone, spot control and multi-period and periodic control are adopted, resulting in a gap between the status quo and the requirement of the overall development of the city. 5) Transport pollution becomes severe increasingly, and transport has become the major pollution source for the city. Because the road system in Wuhan is simple, living quarters mostly spread on both sides of main trunks in the urban district, and a great number of passenger and goods vehicles run randomly. As a result, air pollutants emitted by vehicles severely impact surrounding ambient equipments, and traffic noise also has a conspicuous impact on surrounding sound environment. Therefore, the phase-II construction of the World Bank financed Wuhan Urban Transport Project, including both the construction of bus lanes, bus stations and bay

4 stations and the investment in transport management and safety facilities, not only connects with the World Bank financed public transport and transport management projects that have been completed in the first phase and brings the completed facilities into play, but also interacts favorably with the track transport construction in progress and realizes low investment and high benefit. Furthermore, the construction of Shuidong Section of Second Ring Line and downward extension line of Jianshe Avenue in the road network improvement subproject, in combination with Erqi Yangzte River Bridge under construction and the Hankou Section of Second Ring Line to be commenced, may form a closed ring of Second Ring Line with the south section of Third Ring Line that has been formed, offering rapid passenger and goods transport services for the central area and bring newly-build cross-river passages, ring transport and radial transport into full play. The project will help Wuhan to build a powerful transport system, fulfill the increasing transport demand and raise its transport management level, providing strong support for the social and economic development of Wuhan.

1.3 Regions Affected by the Project

The regions affected by the World Bank financed Wuhan Urban Transport Project are all concentrating in Wuhan City. The resettlement for road network improvement subproject and public transport improvement subproject involves three urban districts, i.. Jiang’an District, and Hongshan District, and one remote , i.e. , among which, Hongshan District and Jiang’an District involve a large amount of land acquisition and relocation, and Qiaokou District and Dongxihu District involve a quite small amount. With respect to the road network improvement subproject, the downward extension line of Jiefang Avenue involves 4 streets, 13 communities and 2 villages. Shuidong Section of Second Ring Line involves four villages in Heping Street in Hongshan District. And the relocation work of Shuidong Road will be completed by the Erqi Yangtze River subproject, so it doesn’t involve with the resettlement. With respect to the public transport subproject, Sanjintan bus junction station is situated in Sanjintan Village in Houhu Street in Jiang’an District, Tianshunyuan Community initial and terminal station in Yongfeng Village in Changfeng Town in Qiaokou District, Jinyintan ground parking lot in Xinyi Village in Houhu Street in Jiang’an District.

For Wuhan Urban Transport Project (Phase II), resettlement is considered as a factor to which the highest priority is given during the planning and the implementation. With full consideration of construction cost, social impact, environmental impact and other factors, efforts should be made to minimize the resettlement for the project.

1.4.1 Measures adopted in the project design stage

In the planning and design stage, for the purpose of minimizing the impact of project construction on local society and economy, the World Bank Financed Project Office of Wuhan held many joint meetings, with attendance of consulting units and

6 design units, to negotiate how to optimize the design program and minimize the social and economic impact of resettlement. During communication and negotiation, experts from Wuhan Municipal Design Institute responsible for design, the Fourth Survey and Design Institute of China Railway for environmental impact assessment, Center for Involuntary Resettlement Research, for resettlement consulting, and Joint Subject Team for public participation and opinion collection, voiced their opinions on project optimization from different points, and finally Wuhan Municipal Design Institute concluded an agreement and submitted it to the project office. In the design, the principles concluded for realizing project optimization and minimizing the impact of resettlement are described as below: First, carry out project optimization and comparative selection, make consideration as most as possible to the impact of project construction on local society and economy, and try to occupy vacant land and minimize the occupation of cultivated land if land occupation is unavoidable. Second, minimize relocation if it is unavoidable, and regard it as one key indicator for program optimization and comparative selection. Meanwhile, reserve reasonable space for the connection of this project with other municipal facilities. Third, make full consideration to and try to minimize land acquisition and relocation when comparing different design programs. For example, for the construction of Shuidong Road, there are two different programs, i.e. viaduct construction and level crossing construction. In order to select the optimal program, the project office requested the design unit to technically compare the advantages and disadvantages of two programs, retained the public participation subject team specially to collect the opinions of affected population along the line on this matter, called the environmental assessment unit to compare these two programs, and required the resettlement office to comparatively analyze the impacts of land acquisition and relocation in the two programs. Through all-round comparison and analysis, the program of viaduct construction was ultimately selected, in which, the area of land to be occupied is reduced by 45mu, the area of relocation by 10000 , and the number of affected households by 150.

Construction mode Full-line viaduct Ground main road and auxiliary road 1. The main line is continuously upward and downward sloping, and driving 1. The main line is continuous, and comfort is low. driving comfort is high. 2. The distance between two interchanges Systematic traffic 2. The utilization efficiency of cannot meet the requirement of interlaced function road section is high, and it is transition of vehicle flow. All vehicles in relatively easy to build node the ring line can only run directly, and interchange. systematic traffic function cannot be realized. Ground road below the viaduct is Secondary main road and branch road are Regional traffic used, and regional traffic cut off by Second Ring Line, and regional organization organization is convenient. traffic organization is difficult. Construction of split interchange of Impact on No. 4 No impact basically Wuqing Fourth Trunk will has a big Track Line adverse impact on NO. 4 Track Line. 469mu of land to be requisitioned, 484mu of land to be requisitioned, 218000 208000 of buildings to be of buildings to be relocated, 15 enterprises to Impact of relocated, 11 enterprises to be be relocated, and 507 affected households resettlement relocated, and 349 affected households Impact on surface Reduces the accessibility of surface No impact basically channel channel Impact on Slight impact on landscape Some impacts on landscape landscape The program of viaduct construction is Basic conclusion Recommended selected

In a similar way, when selecting the locations of bus junction station and public parking lot, the design unit determined the following principles 1) Include station construction in the urban construction planning, and carry out reserve control for station location to avoid the impact of land acquisition and relocation. 2) If land occupation is necessary, try to occupy vacant land without relocation. 3) If relocation is unavoidable, select land sections with low building density and small affected population. Based on the above principles, two or three location programs were put forward for each station and submitted to resettlement division and environmental assessment department for field investigation and physical object survey, and the opinions of

8 different departments were collected for comprehensive evaluation to determine the final location program. For instance, for Sanjiantan bus junction station, Tianshunyuan initial and terminal station, Gangduhuayuan initial and terminal station and Jinyintan parking lot, vacant land is to be occupied for construction without relocation. In the original planning, programs for four parking lots of Jianghan Second Road, Qinjin Fourth Road, Jingwu Road and Guiyuan Temple were also presented. Between Dec. 2008 and Jan. 2009, the resettlement division of Wuhan Management Office for Foreign Fund Financed Urban Construction Project (WMOFFFUCP) organized field investigation for the parking lots in the planning to take a view of the impact of land acquisition and relocation as well as survey for affected population. According to the findings, for the construction of the four parking lots, there are some adverse factors: first, the four parking lots are located in the downtown area, surrounding roads are narrow and traffic organization is difficult, so it is improper to build social parking lots; second, they are located in the old urban area with high building density, so a large amount of relocation will be involved; third, affected residents have reservations concerning the building of parking lots.

9 According to the results of investigation and research, the resettlement division of WMOFFFUCP delivered to the design department the opinions on the social impact of the construction of the foresaid parking lots. Finally, with comprehensive consideration, the project office removed the four parking lots from the project, and minimized the impact of resettlement. For another example, in the original design for the extension line of Jiefang Avenue, the width of the road is 60m. Jiefang Avenue is one of the most important traffic lines, and the width is over 50m. However, according to the program in which the designed width is 60m, for some sections, some high-rise buildings have to be removed. During the survey for resettlement, it was found that if relocation would be carried out according to the program, employee dormitories of Wuhan Vehicle Plant, Jiang’an District Railway Material Bureau and Jiang’an District Erqi House Management Office, and some other buildings would have to be removed, bringing a large impact. The resettlement division laid the situation before the engineering design department, and advised to build partial sections not conforming to the program. After comprehensive consideration, the design department accepted the suggestion of the resettlement division, and partially amended the design program. In this way, for the extension line of Jiefeng Avenue, the area of relocation is reduced by 18000 , the number of households to be relocated by 246, and the number of shops to be relocated by 44, minimizing the impact of the resettlement.

1.4.2 Measures to be adopted during land acquisition and relocation

Collect basic information, make an in-depth analysis of local socio-economic status, make feasible Resettlement Action Plan to ensure that that the displaced persons would not suffer from loss due to the implementation of the project. Encourage the participation and supervision of the public. Strength internal and external monitoring, set up highly efficient feedback mechanism and channels, minimize the period for the disposal of information to ensure the timely solution of problems occurring in the construction. Notify in advance displaced persons, arrange sites for relocation, compensate the loss of displaced persons, minimize the idling period, and provide jobs for employees of affected enterprises. During the relocation, get help and support from local governmental authorities to ensure the smooth implementation of resettlement, and to reduce the pressure and loss of displaced persons, institutions and enterprises.

10 1.4.3 Measures to be adopted during the construction

The following measures are to be adopted during the construction to mitigate impact: Reasonably make construction plan and arrange traffic, and minimize the impact of construction on the surrounding environment and traffic order. When excavating, all the factors shall be taken into full consideration. The excavation, laying of pipelines and backfilling shall be finished in the shortest time possible. For road crossing road with heavy traffic, the construction shall not be carried out in rush hours (for example the construction is carried out during the night to ensure smooth traffic flow in the day). Barbarian work manner is to be avoided. It is forbidden to destroy existing pipelines. Warning signs, signals and leading marks shall be set up for vehicles and pedestrians. After the completion of the construction, the site shall be cleared and opened to the traffic. Dredged spoil shall be timely carried out, and over loading is forbidden. Measures shall be taken to avoid spilling along the road. Before driving out, the tires of vehicles shall be flushed by high pressure water to avoid pollution of roads. The entrance of the construction site shall be timely cleaned. In the area within 200m away from residences of the civilians, the construction is forbidden from 22 o’clock in the evening to 8 o’clock next morning. And equipment with low noise shall be chosen for construction. For construction at night that affects citizens, measures shall be taken to eliminate or control noises, and temporary sound barrier equipment shall be set up around the construction site or near the residences of the civilians.

2.2 Project Impact Survey

From December 2008 to April 2009, with the help of Wuhan Municipal Design Institute and under the organization and coordination of Wuhan Management Office for Foreign Fund Financed Urban Construction Project, Center for Involuntary Resettlement Research, Wuhan University, associated with relevant staff of communities (villages) affected by subprojects made the resettlement survey in the regions affected by the subprojects. The resettlement survey consisted of two parts: one was survey of objects in land acquisition and relocation that maybe involved in project construction; the other was survey of social economy of the displaced persons and enterprises and institutions. In accordance with the involuntary resettlement policies of the World Bank, the land acquisition and relocation caused by the resettlement spots used for building resettlement houses for the families relocated due to the project will be brought into the impacts scope of the project and the unified resettlement policies will be implemented. The resettlement survey may be divided into three parts as follows: 1Literature survey a. Statistic of social economy of Wuhan city and the project area;

15 b. Local laws and regulations of the state, Hubei province and Wuhan city related to land acquisition and resettlement. 2Social economy background survey a. Survey of basic circumstances of affected families and vulnerable families in the area; b. Public opinions and suggestions; c. Survey of basic circumstances of affected villages in the area: population, labor force, industrial structure, and plantation and etc. 3Survey of affected objects in land acquisition and relocation a. Circumstance of land acquisition: position, category and area; b. Relocated buildings and other attachments to the land: position, category, and quantity and property rights; c. Category and quantity of various public facilities; d. Basic circumstances and affected situation of enterprises and institutions. The survey gathered the impacts situation of 201 affected families, 20 affected enterprises and institutions, 218 shops and one smallware market, carried out sampling survey on the basic situation of 108 families, initially knew basic impact resulted from the project and provided information for compiling of Resettlement Action Plan. Meanwhile, the survey also gathered statistical information of social and economic development of affected areas in recent years, relevant policies and local laws and regulations relating to land acquisition and house relocation in affected areas, important cases about land acquisition and relocation in recent years, information about exchange of newly-built apartment buildings and resold houses in the real estate market in Wuhan, and information about construction and supply of economically affordable houses in Wuhan. The statistics can be regarded as the reference to establishment of the compensation policy.

2.3 Impacts of Land Acquisition and Relocation

2.4 Impacts of Land Acquisition

According to the survey and statistics, total area of the land requisitioned for the project is 720.86mu, including 517.66mu of collectively-owned land and 203.12mu of state-owned land. Among the collectively-owned land requisitioned, the area of cultivated land (including vegetable land, fish pond and lotus pond) is 153.91mu, and non-cultivated land 363.75mu; the requisitioned state-owned land is totally the state- owned land used for construction.

2.4.1 Acquisition of rural collectively-owned land

The project is located at the junction of the main urban area and suburb, and the use of the collectively-owned land is quite different from the land use in other rural area of Hubei Province., so the modes to compensate and relocate pertinent villagers after the requisition of collectively-owned land are quite different. To be exact, the use of collectively-owned land in these areas is characterized by the features as follows: Firstly, most of the collectively-owned land is non-agricultural land, mainly including housing sites, collectively-owned land for construction, waste land and a few vegetable land and fish ponds. Secondly, the special locations of these villages bring about the frequent requisition of their land for reason of urban construction or for other reasons. Therefore, fish ponds and vegetable land haven’t been contracted to villagers as other villages are doing. The land is collectively-owned and tenanted to several households on a yearly basis. Thirdly, since the land is always collectively-owned, the compensation fund for the land requisition is at the disposal of the village. How to use the fund is subject to the decision at the villagers’ meeting. The tenants of the land may get the compensation for young crops and attachments to the ground and enjoy various favorable resettlement policies along with other villagers. Fourthly, in the light of the convention to use the compensation fund for land requisition by these villages and the village regulations which have been formed for long, the compensation fund is mainly used as living allowances and social security fund for villagers and also for job-training. According to the survey data, the situations of the collectively-owned land requisitioned by the project are:

3.2 General Situation of Affected Villages (Communities)

The resettlement survey is carried out on the general situation of the affected communities and villages. The villages affected by the land acquisition and relocation of Phase II of Wuhan Urban Transport Project are: Chailin Village, Tieji Village,

29

Heping Village and Donghu Village of Heping Street of Hongshan District, and Xingfu Village of Houhu Street of Jiang’an District. Chailin Village Shuidong Section of the Second Ring Line needs removing 46 families’ private residences of Chailin Village. Meanwhile, some houses of Chailin Real Estate Company, which is a collectively-owned enterprise, also need being relocated. Chailin Village is a typical village within the city. In 1990s, the “Chailin Group” was established. Currently, the “village within the city” reconstruction is ongoing and it is to be reconstructed as “Xiamamiao Community of Heping Street”. The village has 566 family households and a population of 2,748. It is situated in the downtown, which has no land used for agricultural production. All the incomes of villagers are from nonagricultural production operations. Tieji Village Tieji Village is also a typical village within the city, but with stronger economic strength among villages of Heping Street. Currently it carries out the “village within the city” reconstruction. The whole village has 868 family households and a population of 3,706. They are mainly employed in nonagricultural production operations. The junk market, the market for fire suppression products and the furniture factory established by the village become the main economic pillars. Heping Village Without exception, Heping Village is also a typical village within the city, but it is one of the most developed villages of Heping Street. Currently it carries out the “village within the city” reconstruction. The whole village has 552 family households and a population of 2,162. They mainly engage in nonagricultural production operations on the ground of convenient local transportation conditions and its favorable geographic location that is close to the downtown. Various markets in the village are the main economic pillars.

3.3 Analysis on Basic Information of Affected Families

In order to deeply understand basic information of affected families and provide reasonable resettlement program with reference, during the process of resettlement survey, for affected private households, sampling survey is carried out and survey form of family information is to be completed (see Attachment for survey from). Survey results involve basic information of 108 families. See Table 3-2 for basic characteristics of the investigated.

From the survey results, there are obvious differences between the dwelling conditions of affected families in the Shuidong Section and the conditions of those in the Jiefang Avenue. In the former area, most of the affected are self-owned houses of villagers of Chailin Village and Tieji Village. The housing conditions of these families are: firstly, they have complete household appliances and facilities and with large

32

building area, which is generally more than 300 and averagely above 400 ; secondly, the majority of the relocation households own more than one houses, in other words, the relocation basically will not affect their dwelling conditions. However, as for the affected families in the Jiefang Avenue, besides the residents of Xingfu Village in the Houhu Street have the similar dwelling conditions with the Shuidong Section, other residents mostly live in the dormitories of enterprises on the state-owned land, such as dormitory of Jiang’an Vehicle Factory and dormitory of Materials Company of Railway Bureau. These buildings are old with small area and incomplete sanitation facility, so the residents there are expecting to improve their dwelling conditions by the relocation of this project and they expressed their intention to accept. The impacts of the relocation on the production and operation of the affected families are mainly reflected in two aspects; first, impacts of land acquisition on vegetable garden and lotus pond operators; second, affect the operations of shops along streets. As for land acquisition, as stated above, only some vegetable gardens and lotus ponds of Heping Village and Xingfu Village will be requisitioned. These gardens and ponds are collectively-owned and rent to people from other places to operate. Only a small portion of vegetable gardens are used for planting the vegetables for meeting own needs. 90% of incomes of these families are from nonagricultural operations. Therefore, the land acquisition of this project has slight impacts on the income of agricultural production of the affected families along the line. It is acceptable to directly give economic compensations to the collective and leaseholders of the requisitioned land according to the compensation policies in this plan. Most of shops at both sides of the road are attached to main buildings or reconstructed by dwellings. Generally there are 2-3 operators. Their normal operation will be affected during the construction period, but after it is completed, since the transportation condition and business environment will be improved due to the construction, their business operations will recover in no time. In order to reduce the impacts of the project construction on these shops, shorten the duration and lessen the impacts, this project will, during the construction, take some optimized construction organization measures: first, divide construction operation in stages, only remove shops at the necessary stage, and shorten the period of business suspension; second, in the course of construction, leave necessary pedestrian path for the shops that will not be removed thus to maintain their normal business operations.

3.4 Impacts on Ethnic Minorities and Social Gender

According to census information supplied by Wuhan Bureau of Statistics, there are many nationalities including Han, Man, Hui, Meng and others, among which, the population of Han nationality is over 99%. According to socioeconomic survey for resettlement, 99.65% of displaced persons belong to Han nationality, and there is no community with concentrated ethnic minorities within impacts scope of Wuhan Urban Transport Project. Therefore, the problem about the impacts on ethnic minorities doesn’t exist. According to sampling survey of resettlement organization, 48.45% of displaced persons are female. Generally speaking, educational level of women in affected regions is relatively low. Education level of most rural women is below junior high school, and illiterate and semi-illiterate women have a higher proportion. According to sampling survey, 7% of women are illiterate or semi-illiterate; 26% have accepted education in primary school, 54% have studied in junior high school, 12% graduated from senior high school or secondary technical school, and only 1% have accepted higher education. From the age structure of surveyed women, the education level of women above the age 60 is lower, among whom, only 16% received junior high school education and above, 60% have accepted education in primary school, and 24% are illiterate or semi-illiterate; among the women aged 16 40, only 2% are illiterate or semi-illiterate, 15% have accepted education in primary school, 34% have studied in junior high school, 33% graduated from senior high school and 16% have accepted higher education. The impacts on employment of displaced persons is mainly in the operators of affected shops. Seen from the survey result, 80% of shop operators are women below the age 45. As the project continues, more shops with large areas will be established at the both sides of the road and around parking lots, which will increase employment and thus be favorable for women’s employment. As to the impacts of relocation, the residents will obtain better dwelling conditions. For the women bearing most of labor service of the families, improvement of dwelling condition and environment may reduce their labor burden. In particular, the construction at the Shuidong Section will directly improve the environment along Luojiagang, so it is an opportunity for residents along the line to improve their dwelling conditions, and it is especially so for women who bear most of housework of the family. Seen from overall impacts of the project, the construction of the project will significantly improve urban transport situation of Wuhan. For the women more relying on urban public transport, the project will provide convenience for the transport of

34

women and improve the dwelling conditions of relocation households as well as the quality of women’s life and this is a positive impacts.

4.2.3 The World Bank’s Relevant Policies on Involuntary Resettlement

Policies of involuntary resettlement are specified by OP4.12 and BP4.12 which are operational polices and procedures of World Bank on involuntary resettlement, of which

48

main articles related to this project include: Policy objectives for resettlement 1. Involuntary resettlement should be avoided or minimized, exploring all feasible and alternate project design programs. 2. Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs, providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits. Displaced persons should be meaningfully consulted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs. Measures to achieve objectives 3. The resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that (1) Displaced persons are informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement; (2) Displaced persons are consulted with on technically and economically feasible resettlement alternatives and provided with related programs; (3) Displaced persons are provided prompt and impactsive compensation at full replacement cost for losses of assets attributable directly to the project. 4. If it includes physical relocation, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes corresponding measures to ensure to: (1) Provide assistance (such as moving allowances) during physical relocation for displaced persons. (2) Provide residential housing, or housing sites, or, as required, agricultural sites for displaced persons, a combination of productive potential, advantages of location, and other factors of agricultural sites is at least equivalent to the advantages of the old site. 5. When necessary to achieve the objectives of the policy, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework also includes measures to ensure that: (1) Displaced persons are offered with support after displacement, for a transition period, based on a reasonable estimate of the time likely to be needed to restore their livelihood and standards of living. (2) Displaced persons are provided for development assistance such as land preparation, credit facilities, training, or job opportunities. Particular attention should be paid to the needs of vulnerable groups among those displaced, especially those below the poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and children, indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities, or other displaced persons who may not

49

be protected through national land compensation legislation. Priority should be given to land-based resettlement strategies for displaced persons whose livelihoods are land-based. These strategies may include resettlement on public land, or on private land acquired or purchased for resettlement. Whenever replacement land is offered, displaced persons are provided with land for which a combination of productive potential, advantages of location, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the land taken. If land is not the preferred option of the displaced persons, the provision of land would adversely affect the sustainability of a park or protected area, or sufficient land is not available at a reasonable price, non-land- based options built around opportunities for employment or self-employment should be provided in addition to cash compensation for land and other assets lost. The lack of adequate land must be demonstrated and documented to the satisfaction of the Bank. Payment of cash compensation for lost assets may be appropriate where (a) livelihoods are land-based but the land taken for the project is a small fraction of the affected asset and the residual is economically viable; or (b) active markets for land, housing, and labor exist, displaced persons use such markets, and there is sufficient supply of land and housing; or (c) livelihoods are not land-based. Cash compensation levels should be sufficient to replace the lost land and other assets at full replacement cost in local markets. Displaced persons and their communities, and any host communities receiving them, are provided timely and relevant information, consulted on resettlement options, and offered opportunities to participate in planning, implementing, and monitoring resettlement. Appropriate and accessible grievance mechanisms are established for these groups. In new resettlement sites or host communities, infrastructure and public services are provided as necessary to improve, restore, or maintain accessibility and levels of service for the displaced persons and host communities. Alternative or similar resources are provided to compensate for the loss of access to community resources (such as fishing areas, grazing areas, fuel, or fodder). Patterns of community organization appropriate to the new circumstances are based on choices made by the displaced persons. To the extent possible, the existing social and cultural institutions of displaced persons and any host communities are preserved and displaced persons’ preferences with respect to relocating in preexisting communities and groups are honored.

4.3 Resettlement Policies for the Project

According to the above mentioned national and local law framework as well as related policies of the World Bank, and by considering the practical situation of areas affected by Wuhan Urban Transport Project, and based on completely negotiating with the affected masses, the resettlement office establish following policies suited for this project on resettlement of displaced persons. After obtaining authorization from the World Bank and approval from the People’s Government of Wuhan City, Resettlement Action Plan shall be implemented in the light of following policies.

4.3.1 Policies on acquisition of collectively-owned land

Based on various factors such as the land type, output value of land, land location, grade of farmland, per capita cultivated land quantity, supply demand relations of land, local economic development level, the resettlement office establishes uniform base compensation rate. Since the requisitioned land of Heping Street of Hongshan District and Houhu Street of Jiang’an District have the similar geographic location, man-land relationship, planting condition and output value of crops, after fully negotiation, the base compensation rate of annual output value is 6500 Yuan. In accordance with Measures of Compensation and Resettlement on Collectively- owned land Acquisition of Wuhan City, the multiples of the compensation for the acquisition of collectively-owned land of this project are calculated on the basis of the following: the compensation for cultivated land is 10 times of the base compensation rate; that of forest land or other agricultural land is 6 times on the basis of 6500 Yuan/mu; that of construction and unused land is 6 times. The multiples of resettlement allowance is calculated on the basis of the following: the compensation for vegetable land, fish pond and lotus pond is 15 times of base rate, and that of water pond is 6 times; no resettlement allowance is paid for requisitioned housing site and waste land. For requisitioned vegetable land, fish pond and lotus pond on collectively-owned land, the young crop compensation will be paid to the proprietor of the land according to the actual losses caused. Therefore, the compensation rate for collectively-owned land is: 162500 Yuan/mu for pot pond, fish pond and lotus pond; 97500 Yuan/mu for pond; 39000 Yuan/mu for other profitless land and waste land. The compensation fund for requisitioned collectively-owned land is paid by Urban Construction Fund Office of the People’s Government of Wuhan City through special account to the accounts of related units. use of compensation fund is supervised and audited by superior unit. First, all affected villagers will join the social security

51

program, and other use approaches shall be determined upon negotiation in the meeting of villagers. and the fund shall be mainly used for collective public welfare undertakings. The requisitioned attachments to ground will be compensated to the proprietor according to the actual losses caused.

4.3.2 Policies on acquisition of state-owned land The policies prescribed by Wuhan Municipal Bureau of Land Resources and Housing Management are implemented for the stated-owned land requisitioned in this project. The compensation rate of per unit area land equals to: the base land price of the requisitioned land lot minus the land transfer fee of it. According to the policy above, the compensation for Shuidong Section of Second Ring Line is 661000 Yuan/mu, and that for the downward extension line of Jiefang Avenue is 380900~911800 Yuan/mu, and that of Gangduhuayuan initial and terminal station is 498900 Yuan/mu.

4.3.3 Policies on house relocation on state-owned land The relocation household on state-owned land in the relocation scope of the project may freely select resettlement mode from monetary compensation or resettlement with material objects (economically subsidied housing). If the owner of dismantled private house choose monetary compensation, then the compensation amount = Property building area of relocation house ×(Location price + replacement price of the house). If monetary compensation is provided for public-property dwelling house (public- property dwelling house under the direct administration of the municipality and that under the administration of the institution itself), 20% of monetary compensation will be paid to the relocatee (property owner), and 80% will be paid to the leaseholder (user). The market evaluation price of relocation house will be evaluated by qualified real estate evaluation company on the basis of the factors like location, function and building area. In this project, the relocation houses for business and non-business use on state- owned land have the same compensation standard as dismantled residential houses. The compensation rate is also based on the evaluation price of real estate evaluation company. Transition allowance will be paid to relocation houses. Two months’ transition fee is paid for choosing monetary compensation and actual transition period will be the basis of calculation for choosing resettlement with material objects.

52

According to the policy above, the compensation for location price of relocation houses in Shuidong Section of Second Ring Line is 3015 Yuan/ ; the replacement price for this section is 830 Yuan/ for houses in framework structure, 750 Yuan/ for houses in brick-concrete structure, 420 Yuan/ for houses in brick-wood structure, 340 Yuan/ for houses in simple structure; Due to the long downward extension line of Jiefang Avenue, the location price has three standards for Dijiao Section, Vehicle Factory Section, Huangpu Avenue Section, i.e., 3325 Yuan/ , 3765 Yuan/ and 3952 Yuan/ respectively. The replacement price for this line is 830 Yuan/ for houses in framework structure, 570 Yuan/ for houses in brick-concrete structure, 420 Yuan/ for houses in brick-wood structure, 340 Yuan/ for houses in simple structure. The compensation rate for commercial stores consists of location price and replacement price. The replacement price of buildings is the same as the residential houses in the same structure. The standard of location price is: 3918 Yuan/ for Shuidong Section of Second Ring Line. The standard of location price for three zones of downward extension line of Jiefang Avenue is 5893 Yuan/ , 9709 Yuan/ and 11386Yuan/ . For the productive buildings and equipment, following compensation will be given: the relocation and installment fee of the equipment. the equipment that can not be rehabilitated will be compensated with the depreciated value. the lost of surplus will be calculated by six months’ salary lost of the registered staff.

4.3.4 Policies on house relocation on collectively-owned land Compensation will be paid for houses to be relocated on collectively-owned land according to policies of Wuhan City. The compensation includes location price and replacement cost. The compensation price of housing site is the product of approved floor area and location price of housing site. Shuidong Section of Second Ring Line belongs to first-class location, so the location compensation rate of housing site is 2280 Yuan/ . The downward extension line of Jiefang Avenue involves first-class and second-class location, so the location compensation price is 2280 Yuan/ for first-class area and 1920 Yuan/ for second-class area. The replacement cost is 830 Yuan/ for houses in framework structure, 750 Yuan/ for houses in brick-concrete structure, 420

53

Yuan/ for houses in brick-wood structure, 340 Yuan/ for houses in simple structure.

4.3.5 Policies on compensation for shops to be relocated As for shops with business-type house property certificate, this project will compensate according to the compensation rate of building for business use; but for shops with non-business house property certificate, after being compensated as residential houses, they will be compensated with 600 Yuan/ for the building area for business use.

4.3.6 Policies on compensation for unlicensed houses This project will compensate unlicensed houses as per the replacement cost, excluding the location compensation price.

4.3.7 Policies on special support for vulnerable groups Firstly list the families of vulnerable groups into name list of purchasers of economically affordable houses and ensure that they get the houses. For families of vulnerable groups choosing monetary compensation, if the area of houses to be relocated is not more than 20 , the compensation will be paid as per 25 . If the area is 20~30 , the compensation will be paid as per 30 . Through local community, arrange families of vulnerable groups who are willing to choose low-rent houses into annual low-rent house plan. The families of vulnerable groups have priority in selecting area, house type and location of economically affordable houses. Resettlement organizations at all levels are responsible for organizing manpower to assist in the moving of the families of vulnerable groups. For the relocated families covered within the lowest living standard security system for urban residents, the sum of 20000 Yuan is paid to each household as living subsidies; for the relocated families with disabled member(s), the sum of 20000 Yuan is paid to each household as living subsidies; in case the relocated family falls into the aforesaid two situations at the same time, the sum which is paid as living subsidy will be doubled, viz. 40000 Yuan/family.

4.3.8 Policies on resettlement of transient population and leaseholder Though transient population and leaseholder are not owner of house property right, they can get corresponding compensation once their business and life are affected by relocation. Firstly, if they have to move due to the project relocation, they shall get moving transition compensation. Secondly, if the lease contract of transient population

54

is not yet due, transient population or leaseholder may get corresponding part from the compensation the project owner pays to the relocation household with the amount determined by mutual negotiation of transient population or leaseholder and relocation household.

55

5. Resettlement Compensation Rates

On the basis of deep survey and research, various kinds of compensation rates listed in the Resettlement Action Plan were established after full negotiation with the affected units, persons and relevant local governmental departments of Wuhan City according to relevant laws and regulations in the People’s Republic of China and Hubei Province and involuntary resettlement policy of the World Bank, aiming to make the displaced persons to retrieve and improve their living standard after resettlement in a short period.

5.1 Compensation Rate of Requisitioning Collectively-owned Land The compensation rates for requisitioning collectively-owned land include land compensation, resettlement allowance, compensation for attachments to the ground and young crops, as well as taxations payable to the State. 1 Land compensation In course of the resettlement survey and making the resettlement plan, the WMOFFFUCP profoundly communicated with the affected villages of the land acquisition, inquired about the statistics of past years in the statistical department, and for many times, invited officials from competent authorities like Wuhan Municipal Bureau of Land Resources and Housing Management to negotiate the base compensation rate that is applicable to the land acquisition of this project. Based on many factors such as class, production value, geographic location, grade of agricultural land, per capita cultivated land, supply and demand of land, and the local economic developmental level, a unified base compensation rate is determined. Considering that Heping Street of Hongshan District and Houhu Street of Jiang’an District have the similar geographic location, man-land relationship, plantating status and the production value of crops, after full discussion, the base compensation rate of this project is 6,500 Yuan. According to the Measures of Compensation and Resettlement on Collective Land Acquisition of Wuhan City (No.149 file of Wuhan People’ Government), the multiples of the compensation for the acquisition of collectively-owned land of this project are calculated on the basis of the following: if cultivated land is requisitioned, the compensation is 10 times of the base rate; if garden, forest land or other agricultural land are requisitioned, the compensation is 6 times; if the land for construction and unused land are requisitioned, the compensation is 6 times. 2 Resettlement allowance

56

According to local laws and regulations of Wuhan and the negotiation with the local government as well as representatives of affected population, the resettlement allowance for paddy field and dry land of this project takes 15 times of annual average product value of previous three years, which is 6500 Yuan; the resettlement allowance for requisitioned fish ponds and forest land is 9 times of annual average product value of previous three years; the resettlement allowance for requisitioned ponds adopts 9 times of annual average product value of previous three years; no resettlement allowance is paid for requisitioned construction land and other land without gains. In addition, according to relevant policies of the State and Wuhan city for land acquisition, the taxations payable for collectively-owned land acquisition are as follows: (1) compensation for new land use for construction; (2) cultivated land reclamation fee; (3) foundation for water works; (4) tax on occupation of cultivated land; (5) exploitation expense of new vegetable garden; (6) management cost of land acquisition; (7) cost of labor used for digging the fish pond, which should be paid as per 3000 Yuan/mu. Since Phase II of Wuhan Urban Transport Project belongs to municipal infrastructure construction, according to relevant documents and regulation, the exploitation expense of new vegetable garden can be exempted; therefore, it is not included in the land acquisition taxations of this project. See Table 5-1 for the paying rate of above-mentioned taxations.

5.3.1 Compensation rate of dwelling houses on state-owned land

In the relocation scope of the project, the persons suffering from relocation may freely select the resettlement mode from monetary compensation or relocation with material objects (economically subsidied housing). If the relocation household chooses the monetary compensation, the compensation measures are: 1) Private dwelling house Amount of monetary compensation = Property building area of house to be relocated ×(Location price + Unit price of market evaluation of house to be relocated) 2) If monetary compensation is provided for public-property dwelling house (public-property dwelling house under the direct administration of the municipality and that under the administration of the institution itself), 20% of monetary compensation

59

will be paid to the relocatee (property owner), and 80% will be paid to the leaseholder (user). Amount of monetary compensation = Property building area of house to be relocated ×(Location price + Unit price of market evaluation of house to be relocated) ×80% 3) Non-domestic house The calculation formula of the amount of monetary compensation for non-domestic house is the same as the above. According to relevant regulations of Regulations on the Administration of Urban House Relocation, Implementation Measures of Administration of Urban House Relocation of Wuhan City, and Guiding Opinions on Appraisal of Urban House Relocation, the market evaluation price of urban house to be relocated will be evaluated on the basis of the factors like location, function and building area, and by qualified real estate evaluation company. According to the latest house evaluation prices of Wuhan, the location price of houses to be relocated of this project are as follows:

6. Implementation Plan for Resettlement and Rehabilitation

6.1 Objectives, Methods and Principles of Resettlement and Rehabilitation

6.1.1 Objectives of resettlement and rehabilitation

In accordance with the policies on involuntary resettlement of the World Bank and the requirements of relevant national laws and regulations, the overall objective of the resettlement of the World Bank Financed Wuhan Urban Transport Project is to rehabilitate as soon as possible and improve as much as possible the living conditions and production of affected population and enterprises and public institutions. The concrete objectives are as follows: Affected households will obtain compensation calculated by replacement cost, and the area, structure and living environment of their reconstructed houses may reach and exceed the levels prior to relocation; All kinds of attachments to the ground affected are compensated by replacement cost; Public buildings and special facilities are compensated by replacement cost and may be rehabilitated to their original status; After reconstruction of enterprises, their production scale and capability as well as employment of employees will not be affected. No labor force in affected enterprises will lose their jobs permanently; Public facilities and environment of affected communities will be rehabilitated to their original status and even improved; Labor force whose land is requisitioned will be properly allocated, and their incomes will be guaranteed and increased by improving production conditions. No peasants will lose their jobs permanently due to land acquisition.

6.1.2 Methods of resettlement and rehabilitation

The resettlement and rehabilitation of livelihood and production of affected population will be implemented simultaneously. For livelihood, house relocation and reconstruction and rehabilitation of supporting living facilities will be implemented, including: Housing for affected households;

65

Housing for production organizations; Water and electricity supply facilities for residents and other such facilities. For production, employment of labor force and reconstruction and rehabilitation of production facilities will be implemented, including Agricultural allocation of affected agricultural population; Rehabilitation of production facilities of production organizations. Production facilities will be compensated by replacement cost to rehabilitate production and operation. Resettlement and rehabilitation will be carried out by means of monetary compensation, labor arrangement, and rehabilitation of production and living conditions.

6.1.3 Principles of resettlement and rehabilitation

Affected population will participate in the whole process of resettlement. For issues including compensation rates of houses and facilities, selection of sites of resettlement, schedule of relocation, schedule of rehabilitation, fund disbursement, and measures for rehabilitation of production and operation, affected population or their representatives must be involved and consulted with to reach an agreement. Symposia of representatives and consultation meetings of affected residents or affected will be held. All kinds of compensations will be directly given to property owners, and any organizations and individuals may not retain or embezzle compensation funds of others. Compensation for houses, special facilities and attachments to the ground will be calculated by replacement cost. The amount of compensation shall not be retained, depreciated or levied taxes. The compensation obtained by property owners must be calculated by the publicized rates. All the property of originally built structures shall belong to property owners. The residual value of surplus material left after relocation shall not be deducted from compensation. Help and care will be offered to vulnerable groups. Vulnerable families should be given priority to in selection of resettlement housing, offer of information on resettlement housing, supply of low-rent housing, and purchase price of subsidied housing; and in employment opportunities created in the process of project implementation, distribution of service networks at resettlement sites, etc.

6.2 Resettlement of Relocated Households

The proper resettlement of relocated households is one of the most important content of project resettlement office, and it is also a topic on which repeated

66

consultations have been conducted with affected population. From Dec. 2008 to Mar. 2009, the project resettlement office carried out an extensive and deep survey and consultation among affected population, learnt the desires of relocated households, and formulated corresponding policies and measures according to their opinions and requirements. According to the results of consultation, the following three methods will be taken to implement resettlement of relocated households: 1) Resettlement by monetary compensation During survey and consultation, we found that in Tieji, Chailin and Heping villages at Shuidong Section of Second Ring Line where private houses gathered and in Xingfu Village along the downward extension line of Jiefang Avenue, some villagers possessed houses in several places and they hoped to obtain directly monetary compensation. Monetary compensation will be adopted for such relocated households and bank books will be given to them directly. 2) Resettlement in subsidied housing In Jun. 6, 2009, the General Office of Wuhan People’s Government issued the No. 88 document [2009], definitely stating that the relocated households of key construction projects in Wuhan could be involved in the subsidied housing plan for resettlement. This policy guarantees the smooth resettlement of the relocated households on state- owned land for this project. The materials collected by the Resettlement Division of WMOFFFUCP show that, within the area affected by this project, the construction of more than 1,300,000 square meters of subsidied housing has been commenced and over 13,000 households will be resettled (see Table 6-1 for details). Even if all the relocated households choose resettlement in subsidied housing, only 1.5% of housing available will be occupied, and therefore current resettlement policy may fully ensure that all the relocated households could have basic housing conditions. The relocated households living in the dormitory of provincial No. 1 Construction Company at Shuidong Section have small living area, and most of them haven’t housing in other places. About 30% of them (totally 81 households) chose monetary compensation of own accord; the rest 70% (about 55 households) preferred resettlement in housing. And the WMOFFFUCP will coordinate the district governments and be responsible for listing these households as purchasers of subsidized housing. The relocated households may choose suitable area and location of subsidized housing at their options. According to the situation of real estate market in Wuhan in 2009, the price of subsidized housing is now 2300-2600 Yuan/ . If calculated by mean area, the average family can use the compensation to buy an subsidized housing of at least 50

67

with toilet and complete kitchen fittings. In this way, the living conditions of relocated households will be largely improved. During the transition period, relocated households will be given a transition allowance of 6 Yuan/ per month; and the rate will be 12 Yuan/ per month for a transition over 2 years.

District Total 131.96 13196 3) Resettlement in second-hand housing For relocated households who are unwilling or can’t afford to buy new houses, the project resettlement office will: (i) provide information on local second-hand housing trade. The Resettlement Division will also communicate with relevant competent

68

department to exempt the trade tax; and (ii) provide information on local low-rent housing and give priority to list them in resettlement. 4) Resettlement combining “Village within the City” reformation During the survey, the resettlement office learnt that, Chailin, Tieji and Heping villages involved in relocation along Shuidong Road were carrying out “Village within the City” reformation. That is to say, even if this project did not launch, these villages have planned to relocate villagers’ houses and resettle them in other sites in a unified way. This project has provided an opportunity for the three villages to push forward their reformation. At present, the reformation along Shuidong Road is ongoing and unified residential districts have taken on an initial size, and relocated villagers may be resettled nearby. Thus, these villagers can choose between 2 resettlement modes: one is to accept the monetary compensation provided by the project office and select an economically affordable house in the resettlement community; another is to voluntarily participate in the “village within city” reconstruction organized by the village committee after they receive the compensation from the project office. In fact, what the project office needs to do is only to compensate on the ground of agreed compensation rate.

6.3 Rehabilitation of Peasants Affected by Land Acquisition

According to the survey, the total area of collective cultivated land for this project is 153.9 mu. Only very few vegetable lands and lotus ponds are occupied in Heping Village at Shuidong Section of Second Ring Line, Yongfeng Village at the bus station at Tianshunyuan Residential District, and Xingfu Village at downward extension line of Jiefang Avenue; 98 mu fish ponds in Xingfu Village and 27 mu fish ponds in Heping Village are occupied. According to the survey, these vegetable land and fish ponds are collectively- owned, tenanted to villagers, and collect the rental yearly. These villages are located at the junction of the main urban area and suburb, so they frequently encountered the problems of land requisition. For many years, with respect to the land requisition, especially the land compensation and resettlement, they have already formed a complete system of policies which are accepted by villagers and have been impactsive for long. According to these village regulations, after the land requisition, the compensation for young crops and other attachments to the ground go directly to the owners and the land compensation fund is under the control of the village, mainly for granting living allowances to villagers, paying social security funds for villagers and conducting job training. According to the consultation between villagers’ committees and villagers who operate fish ponds, the final resettlement measures are as follows: All the affected villagers by land acquisition will join social security program;

70

The compensation for young crops on requisitioned land shall be paid according to the actual losses caused to peasant households who operate the land. The compensation for land acquisition shall be managed by villages, and the use shall be decided at villagers’ representative meeting, mainly in public utilities.

6.4 Rehabilitation of Affected Enterprises and Public Institutions

The World Bank Financed Wuhan Urban Transport Project totally affects 21 enterprises and public institutions which are mainly located at Shuidong Section of Second Ring Line and downward extension line of Jiefang Avenue. Because both sides of the lower extended section are to be widened, only green belts and some temporary shops with street frontages will be affected, and very few enterprises and public institutions will really be affected. The same with the situation of land use in present Hepinggang, land use along Shuidong Section of Second Ring Line is mostly controlled by water supplies department, and therefore operation of few enterprises will be disturbed. According to the survey, only 3 out of 21 enterprises and public institutions will be heavily affected in production and operation or normal work and needed to be relocated, that is, Hongjin Recreation City at Shuidong Section of Second Ring Line and two filling stations at downward extension line of Jiefang Avenue. Hongjin Recreation City is not far away from the crossing of Shuidong Section and Heping Road and needs to be completely relocated. It is an unlicensed builindg set up on the land controlled by water supplies department. This project will give monetary compensation to it according to the compensation policy for unlicensed buildings. The two filling stations may rehabilitate their normal operation nearby.

6.5 Resettlement and Rehabilitation of Affected Shops

Along road network improvement subprojects, 218 shops (totally 556 jobholders) are to be relocated. According to the resettlement survey, all kinds of shops to be relocated from Jiefang Avenue and Shuidong Section of Second Ring Line have different characteristics, and the resettlement measures will also differ. 1) Shops along Jiefang Avenue Along Jiefang Avenue, 97 shops are to be relocated and 250 business personnel will be affected. Such shops will be compensated at rates for houses for business use. After road reformation, the shops will be moved backwards nearby to form new shop fronts, and current jobholders may continue their operating activities. In order to minimize and mitigate the influence of construction on these shops, during the construction of this project, some optimized methods of construction will be adopted to lighten the influence on normal operation; First, stage construction is implemented, and relocation is only performed for stages during which construction is necessary, to shorten the business shutdown period; Second, during construction, necessary passages will be left to guarantee the normal operating conditions of shops that will not be relocated. 2) Shops at Shuidong Section of Second Ring Line Totally 121 shops (306 persons) at Shuidong Section of Second Ring Line are to be relocated, which could be divided into two kinds: Forty-three shops are rebuilt on the basis of residential houses. They will be compensated according to the rates of residential housing. In addition, for the actual operation area, compensation will be given otherwise according to the rate of 600 Yuan/. Seventy-eight shops are shop fronts leased out by Hubei No. 1 Construction Company, Chailin Village and Tieji Village. Such shops are to be relocated during the construction of Shuidong Section of Second Ring Line, and their operation will be impacted. However, more shops will be established on both sides of the road after construction. Present shopkeepers will have priority to lease the new shops. In order to support the construction of Shuidong Section, Tieji and Chailin villages have established two new markets capable of accommodating 40 and 50 shops respectively in Luojiawan district. These shops can be put into operation according to current leasing conditions, and therefore the normal operation of affected shops may be fully guaranteed. For the productive buildings and equipment, following compensation will be

76

given: the relocation and installment fee of the equipment. the equipment that can not be rehabilitated will be compensated with the depreciated value. the lost of surplus will be calculated by six months’ salary lost of the registered staff.

6.6 Rehabilitation of Specialized Facilities

The specialized facilities affected by this project mainly refer to electric power and telecommunication facilities, for which the Resettlement Division will pay compensation by replacement costs on the basis of full consultation with power and telecommunication departments. These facilities will be rehabilitated and reconstructed before land acquisition is implemented, so as to ensure the normal production and livelihood of local population. The relevant costs will be counted in the construction budget estimate.

6.7 Resettlement and Rehabilitation of Affected Vulnerable Groups

All levels of resettlement offices and grass-root governments will give special assistance and care to vulnerable families involved in the resettlement plan. The main measures are as follows: The project office will provide the following safeguards to the determined vulnerable families: Vulnerable families will be listed as the first buyers of subsidized housing to guarantee their source of housing. For the vulnerable families which prefer monetary compensation, their floor space equal to or less than 20 will be compensated as 25 ; Floor space of 20-30 will be compensated as 30. A certain amount of living subsidy is given to the relocated families which are covered by the lowest living standard security system for urban residents or are with disabled member(s) or both. As far as the project office knows, recently Wuhan municipal government is about to stipulate a favorable policy for the disabled. If the policy is to come into

77

impacts during the project implementation, the project office will strictly follow the policy, which mainly contains: a sum of 20,000CNY will be granted as living subsidy to all relocated families covered by the lowest living standard security for urban residents; a sum of 20,000CNY will be given as living subsidy to each relocated families with disabled member(s); the doubled sum, viz. 40,000CNY, will be compensated to the relocated families which both are covered by the lowest living standard security system and have disabled member(s). Those who are willing to choose low-rent housing will be involved in the annual low-rent housing plan through their communities. Vulnerable families have priority to choose the area, type and location of subsidized housing. All levels of resettlement organizations are responsible for arranging personnel to help relocation of vulnerable families. The Resettlement Division of WMOFFFUCP will disburse a fund of RMB 2,000,000 Yuan from the resettlement management cost for supporting the vulnerable groups according to specific needs. The fund will be used in strict accordance with the regulation of openness and transparency.

6.8 Schedule of Resettlement and Rehabilitation

The civil engineering of this project is planned to be commenced in Jan. 2010. In order to guarantee that affected population and organizations will be properly resettled, land acquisition and resettlement will be finished prior to civil engineering. See Table 6- 2 for the schedule of all kinds of resettlement activities.

9. Public Participation and Negotiation

In order to make the resettlement work of World Bank financed Wuhan Urban Transport Project base on a feasible and reliable foundation, ensure the lawful rights and interests of displaced persons and relocated enterprises and reduce dissatisfaction and dispute, the project attaches great importance to the participation and negotiation of displaced persons. Resettlement Action Plan is prepared on the basis of full negotiation with affected population and information disclosure. Therefore, in the decision process of the planning, design and implementation of the project, Resettlement Division of WMOFFFUCP of the World Bank Financed Project and all levels of resettlement offices together with all the consultant institutions take the opportunities of socioeconomic surveys and social impacts evaluation to propagandize the background of the project in various ways, take counsel with all kinds of affected population and negotiate about common concerns. Public participation and negotiation provide basis for the improvement of resettlement plan.

9.1 Public Participation and Negotiation Activities Carried out up to Now

As to all significant topics for discussion involved in the planning stage of resettlement, the project resettlement office has organized design organizations, consultant organizations, local resettlement departments and affected population to disclose information and conduct negotiation in various ways. Main disclosure and negotiation activities so far are shown in Table 9-1.

In September 2008, the delegation of World Bank evaluated the content of the project. From December 2008 to January 2009, according to the result of evaluation, Center for Resettlement Research, Wuhan University carried out a relatively large-scale questionnaire about opinion and advice of public participation for affected areas. It selected a family member above 15 years old from 108 affected households on whom the questionnaire survey was conducted. The summarized results of the survey are shown in Table 9-2.

to the arrangement of the government Source: Socioeconomic survey data of World Bank Financed Wuhan Urban Transport Project

The following several conclusions can be drawn from the analysis of statistical data in Table 9-2: Firstly, in the aspect of the extent of acquaintance with the project, survey data show that affected population are not so acquainted with the background of the project and relocation compensation policies. Only about 1/4 of the respondents is clear about the background of the project while the other 3/4 of them are not clear or not so clear about it, especially for the definite land requisition and relocation time; and in the aspect of compensation policies, about 90% of them are not clear or not so clear about land requisition or relocation policies. At the same time, it is also found that those who are not clear are mainly peasants, since many of them haven’t received the information relevant to the project through formal channels. This indicates that the project needs improvement in the matter of propaganda. It is advised to enhance propaganda, make use of various propaganda methods like television, broadcast, etc., and transmit relevant information of the project widely. Meanwhile, public participation needs to be strengthened to give affected population profound understanding and sufficient knowledge of the project. Secondly, in the aspect of opinions of the project, most of affected population supports the implementation of it. About 70% of respondents support or don’t oppose the construction of the project. And when it comes to the advantages and disadvantages of the project, 3/4 of them believe that the best advantage of the project is more convenient traffic and then comes investment opportunities. As to the disadvantages, the worst disadvantage is considered to be the scarcity of land and about 1/3 of them holds this opinion. The advices on the project focus on two aspects: one is taking the convenience and safety of citizens’ traffic along the lines into full consideration; and the other is reducing relocation. Thirdly, as to desires for relocation of houses, the majority of villagers favor the mode of unified planning and centralized construction by integrating the ongoing “villages within the city” reconstruction project. However, urban residents are prone to implementation of relocation with material objects and supply of relocation houses; the combined relocation of material objects and money follows; and they are not interested in the simple money relocation mode.

99

Fourthly, in the aspects of the use and allocation of land compensation funds and labor resettlement fees of villagers, respondents are more prone to directly get the land compensation instead of land adjustment. In the aspect of employment, residents are more prone to seek jobs by themselves and are not interested in employment opportunities other than peasants.

9.2 Feedback on Public Participation and Negotiation

From December 2008, the Center for Resettlement Research, Wuhan University carried out socioeconomic surveys for affected population, generalized and summarized the opinions and advices put forward by them, timely fed back to engineering design organizations, and fully considered and absorbed these opinions and advices when formulating resettlement action plan. Feedback on public participation and negotiation up to now is shown in Table 9-3.

106

10 . Complaint and Appeal

Since land acquisition and resettlement relate to various aspects, it is a complicated work. It is inevitable that the displaced persons may be dissatisfied at some matters such as resettlement and compensation and have some complaints during the implementation, as it relates to the benefit of displaced persons. To ensure the complaints of displaced persons can be handled smoothly and rapidly, the resettlement office of the World Bank Financed Wuhan Urban Transport Project will establish a transparent and feasible collecting and handling procedure of dissatisfaction and complaints to deal with such issues objectively and efficiently.
