World Bank Document World Bank Financed Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2) Public Disclosure Authorized RP955 v3 General Resettlement Report Public Disclosure Authorized Management Office of the World Bank Financed Liuzhou Integrated Public Disclosure Authorized Environmental Management Project May 25 2010 Public Disclosure Authorized Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2) Foreword I. Purpose of preparing this resettlement action plan 1 The resettlement action plan (RAP) is prepared in accordance with the applicable laws of the People’s Republic of China and local regulations and a series of provisions in the Bank Operational Policy OP4.12 Involuntary Resettlement for the purpose of “developing an action plan for resettlement and restoration for the people affected by the project, so that they benefit from the project, their standard of living is improved or at least restored after the completion of the project”. II. Definitions of terms Displaced persons 2 Based on the criteria for eligibility for compensation, “Displaced Persons” may be classified in one of the following three groups: a) those who have formal legal rights to land (including customary and traditional rights recognized under the laws of the country); b) those who do not have formal legal rights to land at the time the census begins but have a claim to such land or assets—provided that such claims are recognized under the laws of the country or become recognized through a process identified in the resettlement plan; and c) those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying. 3 Persons covered under paragraphs 2(a) and (b) are provided compensation for the land they lose, and other assistance. Persons covered under paragraph 2(c) are provided resettlement assistance in lieu of compensation for the land they occupy, and other assistance, as necessary, to achieve the objectives set out in this policy, if they occupy the project area prior to a cut-off date established by the borrower and acceptable to the World Bank. Persons who encroach on the area after the cut-off date are not entitled to compensation or any other form of resettlement assistance. All persons included in paragraph 2(a), (b), or (c) are provided compensation for loss of assets other than land. Compensation and resettlement measures 4 To address the following impacts of the involuntary taking of land: (i) relocation or loss of shelter; (ii) lost of assets or access to assets; or (iii) loss of income sources or means of livelihood, whether or not the affected persons must move to another location, a resettlement plan or a resettlement policy framework shall be prepared to cover the following: (a) The resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are: (i) informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement; (ii) consulted on, offered choices among, and provided with technically and economically feasible resettlement alternatives; and (iii) provided prompt and effective compensation at full replacement cost1, for losses of assets attributable directly to the project. 1 "Replacement cost" is the method of valuation of assets that helps determine the amount sufficient to replace lost assets and cover transaction costs. In applying this method of valuation, depreciation of structures and assets should not be taken into account. i Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2) (b) If the impacts include physical relocation, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are: (i) provided assistance (such as moving allowances) during relocation; and (ii) provided with residential housing, or housing sites, or, as required, agricultural sites for which a combination of productive potential, locational advantages, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the old site. (c) Where necessary to achieve the objectives of the policy, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework also includes measures to ensure that displaced persons are: (i) offered 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; (ii) provided with development assistance in addition to compensation measures described in paragraph 4(a)(iii), such as land preparation, credit facilities, training, or job opportunities. 5 Cut-off date: means the date of publication of the bulletin of land acquisition and relocation in this project. After this date, the displaced persons shall not build, rebuild or expand their houses; shall not change the uses of their houses and land; shall not lease their land, lease, sell or purchase their houses; and any person that moves in after this date shall not qualify as a displaced person. ii Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2) CONTENTS 1 OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT ................................................................................ 1 1.1 PURPOSE......................................................................................................................................1 1.2 PROJECT COMPOSITION AND RESETTLEMENT IMPACTS...............................................................1 1.3 PROGRESS OF PROJECT AND RAP PREPARATION .........................................................................3 1.4 MEASURES TO REDUCE RESETTLEMENT.......................................................................................4 1.5 IDENTIFICATION OF RELATED PROJECTS ......................................................................................7 2 PROJECT IMPACTS..................................................................................................... 8 2.1 PROJECT IMPACT SURVEY............................................................................................................8 2.2 AFFECTED AREAS ........................................................................................................................8 2.3 PROJECT IMPACTS........................................................................................................................9 2.3.1 Permanent acquisition and temporary occupation of collective land ........................11 2.3.2 Permanent acquisition and temporary occupation of state-owned land ....................13 2.3.3 Demolition of non-residential houses.........................................................................14 2.3.4 Vulnerable groups......................................................................................................15 2.3.5 Affected ethnic minorities...........................................................................................15 2.3.6 Ground attachments ...................................................................................................16 3 SOCIOECONOMIC OVERVIEW OF THE AFFECTED AREAS ........................ 17 3.1 SOCIOECONOMIC PROFILE OF AFFECTED CITY AND COUNTIES/DISTRICTS ..................................17 3.2 SOCIOECONOMIC PROFILE OF AFFECTED TOWNSHIPS.................................................................21 3.3 SOCIOECONOMIC PROFILE OF AFFECTED VILLAGES ...................................................................23 3.4 SOCIOECONOMIC PROFILE OF AFFECTED RURAL HOUSEHOLDS ..................................................24 3.5 SOCIOECONOMIC PROFILE OF AFFECTED ENTERPRISES ..............................................................25 iii Resettlement Plan of the Liuzhou Integrated Environmental Management Project (Phase 2) 3.6 SOCIOECONOMIC PROFILE OF AFFECTED ETHNIC MINORITIES ....................................................26 4 LEGAL FRAMEWORK AND POLICY OBJECTIVES.......................................... 28 4.1 POLICY FRAMEWORK.................................................................................................................28 4.2 KEY PRINCIPLES ........................................................................................................................29 4.3 SUMMARY OF PROJECT POLICIES ...............................................................................................30 4.3.1 Acquisition of collective land and resettlement policy ...............................................30 4.3.2 Policy for permanent acquisition of state-owned land...............................................31 4.3.3 Compensation and restoration policy for temporary land occupation.......................31 4.3.4 Demolition of non-residential houses and resettlement policy...................................31 4.3.5 Compensation and restoration policy for ground attachments ..................................32 4.3.6 Resettlement policy for vulnerable groups.................................................................32 5 COMPENSATION RATES ......................................................................................... 33 5.1 COMPENSATION RATES FOR ACQUISITION OF RURAL COLLECTIVE LAND ...................................33 5.2 COMPENSATION RATES FOR PERMANENT ACQUISITION OF STATE-OWNED LAND .......................35 5.3 COMPENSATION RATES FOR TEMPORARY OCCUPATION OF COLLECTIVE LAND ..........................35 5.4 COMPENSATION RATES FOR DEMOLITION OF NON-RESIDENTIAL HOUSES ..................................35 5.4.1 Compensation rates for demolition of non-residential houses

  • Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor?
    DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2015.16.8.3579 Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor? RESEARCH ARTICLE Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor? Wei Deng1&, Long Long2&*, Xian-Yan Tang3, Tian-Ren Huang1, Ji-Lin Li1, Min- Hua Rong1, Ke-Zhi Li1, Hai-Zhou Liu1 Abstract Geographic information system (GIS) technology has useful applications for epidemiology, enabling the detection of spatial patterns of disease dispersion and locating geographic areas at increased risk. In this study, we applied GIS technology to characterize the spatial pattern of mortality due to liver cancer in the autonomous region of Guangxi Zhuang in southwest China. A database with liver cancer mortality data for 1971-1973, 1990-1992, and 2004-2005, including geographic locations and climate conditions, was constructed, and the appropriate associations were investigated. It was found that the regions with the highest mortality rates were central Guangxi with Guigang City at the center, and southwest Guangxi centered in Fusui County. Regions with the lowest mortality rates were eastern Guangxi with Pingnan County at the center, and northern Guangxi centered in Sanjiang and Rongshui counties. Regarding climate conditions, in the 1990s the mortality rate of liver cancer positively correlated with average temperature and average minimum temperature, and negatively correlated with average precipitation. In 2004 through 2005, mortality due to liver cancer positively correlated with the average minimum temperature. Regions of high mortality had lower average humidity and higher average barometric pressure than did regions of low mortality.

  • Conservation Recommendations for Oryza Rufipogon Griff. in China
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Conservation recommendations for Oryza rufpogon Grif. in China based on genetic diversity analysis Junrui Wang1,6, Jinxia Shi2,6, Sha Liu1, Xiping Sun3, Juan Huang1,4, Weihua Qiao1,5, Yunlian Cheng1, Lifang Zhang1, Xiaoming Zheng1,5* & Qingwen Yang1,5* Over the past 30 years, human disturbance and habitat fragmentation have severely endangered the survival of common wild rice (Oryza rufpogon Grif.) in China. A better understanding of the genetic structure of O. rufpogon populations will therefore be useful for the development of conservation strategies. We examined the diversity and genetic structure of natural O. rufpogon populations at the national, provincial, and local levels using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Twenty representative populations from sites across China showed high levels of genetic variability, and approximately 44% of the total genetic variation was among populations. At the local level, we studied fourteen populations in Guangxi Province and four populations in Jiangxi Province. Populations from similar ecosystems showed less genetic diferentiation, and local environmental conditions rather than geographic distance appeared to have infuenced gene fow during population genetic evolution. We identifed a triangular area, including northern Hainan, southern Guangdong, and southwestern Guangxi, as the genetic diversity center of O. rufpogon in China, and we proposed that this area should be given priority during the development of ex situ and in situ conservation strategies. Populations from less common ecosystem types should also be given priority for in situ conservation. Common wild rice (Oryza rufpogon Grif.) is the putative progenitor of Asian cultivated rice, one of the most important food crops in the world.
