2 1 Project summary

Entrusted by PMO of Shandong Provincial Bureau of Water Resources and the reservoir sub-projects, SCDRI wrote this report. This report can be seen as the completion report for the 5 subprojects except Songshan. The report actual data until now prevail.

1.1 Progress of project

There are a total of 9 sub-projects in the ADB loans t project includes which include Renhe Reservoir, Songshan reservoir, Qiangkuang reservoir in City, Muyu reservoir in County of city, Shizuizi reservoir in Shanting of city, Huacun reservoir and Longwantao reservoir in of city, Anjing reservoir and Yangzhuang reservoir in of city. Reservoirs are used to control flood, irrigate, power generation, fish farming and urban water supply.

There is no land requisition and house demolition in Shizuizi reservoir in of Zaozhuang city, and the other 8 sub-projects made RAP and were approved by ADB. During design period, Yangzhuang reservoir and Anjing reservoir quit the ADB project, and resettlement in Renhe, Qiangkuang, Muyu, Huacun and Longwantao reservoirs have been over, so there are 1 reservoirs which need investigation and report preparation. This report assesses the resettlement of Songshan reservoir in .

By the end of 2014, Renhe Reservoir (), Songshan Reservoir (Linqu), Qiangkuang reservoir (), Muyu Reservoir(Laiyang), Huacun reservoir and Longwantao reservoir (Sishui) have been constructed completely. All the resettlement work is completed.

1.2 Object of the assessment

Fig. 6-4 Expenditure structure of typical households 6.2 Assessment of income restoration of the affected families The income of Aps increase after land requisition, so the increasement situation was not influenced by land requisition.

6.3 Investigation on degree of satisfaction of resettled households

Degree of satisfaction was also included in typical investigation, so as to measure the socio-economic effects of the resettlement compensation.

In the survey, the affected farmers know their land is to be imposed, which is due to not only the spread of the formal channels made by the village committee, but also the informal communication between the villagers. At the same time, the levy of land was relatively low, and the village will give other land re-allocated to the affected households, the income has little effect on the villagers. On the other hand, under the open and fair premise, the village committee paid the amount of compensation to the villagers on time, so the household livelihood restored fast. Known from the investigation results, immigrants have a high degree of satisfaction, and the mood is relatively stable.

18 6.4 Assessment of AP’s income and living restoration The survey concluded that, little quantity of land requisition of the project hardly have apparent impact on the affected peasants. There is no family affected entirely depend on agricultural income as the family's main source of income before land requisition, and most of them are half peasant half worker. The measures of making a living diversified and the main income was obtained from interval works in other industries. The project have little impact on income and living standard of the affected villagers, conversely their income and living standard increased. Hence, it is in accordance with ADB’s relevant policies.
