Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is worked out on the basis of the concerned national and local laws and regulations of the PRC as well as a series of articles of business guidance under OP4.12 Involuntary Resettlement of the World Bank. It is worked out as the action plan for resettlement and rehabilitation of the people affected by the project, so as to assure that they will draw benefits from the project and their living standard will improve, or at least their living standard will be restored when the project is over. Expropriation of land and other assets in the course of the development of the project will produce unfavorable influence to living of people working on the land or depending on the land. "People affected by the project" refer to people whose living suffers from unfavorable influence of expropriation and resettlement of the project, including: People whose land (inclusive of subsistence homestead, public utility land, land occupied for purpose of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, and bywork), structures (private houses and adjunct, enterprise houses or public buildings), equities, or other properties are expropriated or occupied temporarily or permanently, in whole or in part. People using the above-mentioned land, structures or proprieties, or people whose business or occupation, habitation or living habits suffering from unfavorable influence. People whose living standard suffering from unfavorable influence due to the land expropriation and resettlement.

Definition of "people affected by the project" The so-called "people affected by the project" refer to those people, due to the construction of the project, whose living standard suffers from or will suffer from unfavorable influence, people whose ownership, rights or interests on any houses or land (inclusive of subsistence homestead, farmland and pasture) or any other effects or real properties will be expropriated or occupied temporarily or permanently or people whose business, occupation, work or habitation or habit will suffer from unfavorable influence. "People affected by the project" refer to both individuals and legal persons such as corporations and public bodies. No restrictions are specified for legal registration, living permission or operations of the individuals and legal persons under definition for "people affected by the project" and no restrictions are specified for compensation for their properties under definition for "people affected by the project". So, it consists of the following: All people being affected by expropiration of their properties no matter whether are on the scene upon the expropriation on the premises that their legal rights will not be taken into consideration. People without residence permission within the given areas. So, consideration will be made for all these affected people and recording about them will be made accordingly under the precondition that their relationship with the properties and land or their locations is not considered. If the expropriated land or property is used by more than one personlfarmer or the compensation will be made for more than one personlfarmer, the compensation and rehabilitation will be made on the basis of their losses, rights and interests and living standards. The definition of the affected people is directly related to the unfavorable influence resulting from the project under the premise that the legal rights and interests are not considered. All people affected by the project will gain compensation, so as to improve, or at least restore, their living standards. Besides, compensation will be made for their property losses. Compensation for property losses suffered from by the affected people will be made on the basis of the resettlement price. It is strictly prohibited to decrease or deduct the compensation at the excuse of depreciation or any other reasons. All people affected by the project shall gain rights and interests for the suffered influence. Besides compensation for property losses suffered from by people affected by the project, the allowance shall be made for them, so as to make them restore their living. Those people being affected by the project that deal with business, land reclamation or building construction boasting not properties, rights and interests and legal habitation permission shall enjoy the same treatment to those people enjoying the official legal properties, rights and interests or permission. They are qualified to restore their living and gain compensation for their property losses.

Definition of "resettlement" "Resettlement" refers to production or living arrangement for people being affected by the project, so as to make them draw benefits from the project, which includes mainly: Move of the living sites; G New employment opportunities shall be provided for those whom suffering from work influence; The lands, work sites, trees and public utilities that are being affected by the project shall be restored (or compensated); Living of people who suffering from unfavorable influence (such as the polluted poisonous gases) in respect of living standards (living quality) shall be restored; Rehabilitation or compensation shall be made for individual or public enterprises being affected by the project; Unfavorable influence to culture or public properties shall be decreased.

Definition of "rehabilitation" "Rehabilitation" means to restore capacity of people being affected by the project to continue their living, or at least improve or maintain their living at the level before the project starts. The "Resettlement Action Plan" is worked out to provide the people being affected by the project with a resettlement and rehabilitation plan, so as to make them gain compensation for their losses, improve their living standards or at least maintain their living standards at the level before the project starts. To meet the objective, the plan is provided with the rehabilitation measures in a bid to restore income of people being affected by the project and make them maintain their living. Similarly, the business and productive resources (inclusive of shops and enterprises), public properties, public utilities and culture properties being affected by the project will be improved, or at least restored, to the level before the project starts. 1. INTRODUCTION OF PROJECT BACKGROUND 1.1 Profile The resettlement action plan describes the expropriation and resettlement issues in relation to Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line (expropriation and resettlement for short). It agrees to policies in respect of "Involuntary Resettlement" as well as the security guarantee measures and guidance of the World Bank (World Bank for short), laws and regulations and the local laws and regulations in relation to land expropriation and resettlement of the PRC. For the possible unfavorable influences of the project, the resettlement action plan describes the policy framework for the compensation measures as well as the resettlement strategies for people being affected by the project and villages seriously affected by the project, including way and time to implement these measures. The plan is to be audited and approved by the Ministry of Railways, the People's Government of Henan Province and the People's Government of Hebei Province jointly. As for the Chinese government and the World Bank, the primary objective of the resettlement action plan is to assure that those people that will unavoidably lose lands or properties in the course of the development of the project will gain the same or better livelihood or living standards when the project is not developed. All policies, suggestions and compensation measures mentioned in this plan are centered on this objective. The resettlement action plan is developed on: (1) relevant project reports: feasibility study of the project; (2) site survey along the line of the project; (3) interview with the local governments at various levels, village heads and the people being affected by the project; (4) socio-economic survey of people being affected by the project during preparation period of the project (April-August 2006); (5) meeting with representatives from villages that are seriously affected by the project on discussion and determination about feasible compensation measures and income rehabilitation strategies. The data applied in this resettlement action plan come from the feasibility study as of April 2006 and the audited revision version as of September 2006. To assess influence of the project in an all-round way, the impact data and expenditureestimate in this plan will be modified and supplemented by the detailed measurement survey (DMS) results when necessary. Though principles for expropriation and resettlement and compensation rights have been fixed in this report, the package of compensation measures for the affected peoplelshops and enterprises, including the budgetary estimate, are subject to modification on the basis of the detailed planning. Description of background of the project Project background The project The project refers to the -Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line Double-track Electrification Railway Construction project. Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line is a part of Beijing-Guangzhou Special Passenger Line- Chinese high-speed railway network consisting of "Four transverse and four longitudinal railways". As the major channel for south-north transportation of China, construction of Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line will not only fulfill separate transportation of passenger and freight, improve the passenger transportation service quality in a large range, abridge time-space distance between cities along the line, improve the service frequency and facilitate the tourists' outgoing, but also release capacity of Beijing-Guangzhou Line, effectively alleviate the tensioned freight transportation situation, and meet the passenger and freight transportationdemands of cities along the railway line and the affected areas. It is of great significance for China to implement the sustainable development strategy, enlarge radiation intensity of Bohai rim economic circle towards the central and western areas, promote the reasonable configuration of resources, drive healthy and rapid development of the national economy and improve the comprehensive national strengths of China. It is expected that this project and the relevant development activities will promote development of industry, natural resources and the tourism, create employment opportunities, increase income of the poor, and alleviate the local poverty situation. 1.2.1.2 Affiliated projects Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line is a part of Beijing-Guangzhou Special Passenger Line- Chinese high-speed railway network consisting of "Four transverse and four longitudinal railways". The affiliated projects consist of Beijing-Shijiazhuang Special Passenger Line and Zhengzhou-Wuhan Special Passenger Line. Beijing-Shijiazhuang Special Passenger Line starts from Beijing in north and extends to Shijiazhuang in south-the provincial city of Hebei Province. It joins Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line and its trunk line is 277.68km long in total. It passes through Shijingshan , Fengtai District and Fangshan District of Beijing, City and Shijiazhuang City of Hebei Province. It covers 1419.21hm2 in total and the total area of the houses relocated amounts to 105.2 x104rn2. The total investment estimate for the entire Beijing-Shijiazhuang Special Passenger Line is RMB 33.53 billion . TSDI developed and completed the feasibility study in October 2005 and developed and completed the audited revision document of feasibility study in December 2005. Zhengzhou-Wuhan Special Passenger Line starts from Zhengzhou in north- the provincial city of Henan Province and joins Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line. It extends to Wuhan City in south- the provincial city of Hubei Province and joins Wuhan-Guangzhou Special Passenger Line. The trunk line of it is 472.806km long in total. It covers in total 23312mu and the relocated houses covers 142.22 x104m2 in total. The total investment estimate for the entire Beijing-Shijiazhuang Special Passenger Line is RMB 46.64 billion yuan. The Fourth Survey and Design Institute of China Railways completed development of feasibility study of Zhengzhou-Wuhan Special Passenger Line in January 2006 and completed development of feasibility study (revision version) in April 2006. Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Special Passenger Line Company will take charge of construction of Beijing-Shijiazhuang Special Passenger Line and the section of this project in Hebei Province. The Land and Resources Department of Hebei Province will take charge of the concrete expropriation and resettlement. These days they are building Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Special Passenger Line and abound in expropriation and resettlement experience and methods. On the basis of consultation and interview, it is reached that Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Special Passenger Line Company and the Land and Resources Department of Hebei Province will take charge of organization setting of expropriation and resettlement work in relation to Beijing-Shijiazhuang Special Passenger Line and Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line. The personnel composition of them will be identical to that of Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Special Passenger Line completely. The method and standard for expropriation and resettlement of Beijing-Shijiazhuang Special Passenger Line and the section of this project in Hebei Province will be worked out on the basis of the successhl experience of Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Special Passenger Line and this action plan. Shijiazhuang-Wuhan Special Passenger Line Henan Company (preparation group) will take charge of the section of Zhengzhou-Wuhan Special Passenger Line in Henan Province and section of this project in Henan Province. Henan Province Land Reserve Center will take charge of the concrete expropriation and resettlement of them. Henan Province boasts Zheng-Xi Special Passenger Line that is being constructed currently and abounds in expropriation and resettlement experience and methods. On the basis of consultation and interview, it is reached that the expropriation and resettlement organization to be established jointly by Shijiazhuang-Wuhan Special Passenger Line Henan Company and Henan Province Land Reserve Center will take charge of the expropriation and resettlement work of the section (section to the south of Zhengzhou) of Zhengzhou-Wuhan Special Passenger Line in Henan Province and section of this project in Henan Province collectively. The organization setting and personnel composition of expropriation and resettlement work will be identical to those of expropriation and resettlement of Zheng-Xi Special Passenger Line completely. The expropriation and resettlement method and standard will be worked out on the basis of this action plan and that for the section of Zhengzhou-Wuhan Special Passenger Line in Henan Province (section to the south of Zhengzhou) and the section of this project in Henan Province are completely identical. Wuhan-Guangzhou Special Passenger Line Company will take charge of construction of the section of Zhengzhou-Wuhan Special Passenger Line in Hubei Province. The construction of Wuhan-Guangzhou Special Passenger Line has started already and the company boasts rich experience in expropriation and resettlement. The method and standard for expropriation and resettlement of this project in Hubei Province will be worked out on the basis of the successful experience of Wuhan-Guangzhou Special Passenger Line, the Land Laws of the PRC, the Implementation Method of the Land Management Laws of Hubei Province, the provincial minutes executed by the Ministry of Railways and Hubei Province, expropriation and resettlement implementation agreement for Wuhan-Guangzhou Special Passenger Line within the territory of Hubei Province. The construction of Beijing-Shijiazhuang Special Passenger Line and Zhengzhou-Wuhan Special Passenger Line will start and be completed within the same term to this project. These days they are under the expropriation and resettlement stage. It is ok to apply the resettlement action plan of this project to them. 1.2.2 Project description

1.2.2.1 Line description Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line starts from Shijiazhuang City in north- the provincial city of Hebei Province and extends to the Yellow River SuperLarge Bridge (exclusive of it) in Zhengzhou in south. The trunk line of it is 355.17km long in total. It extends 204.62km within the territory of Hebei Province and 150.55km within the territory of Henan Province. It passes by Shijiazhuang City, City and City of Hebei Province, City, City and City of Henan Province. Six stations in total will be established along the entire line. The new Xingtai Station, new Handan Station, new Anyang Station, new Hebi Station and the new Xinxiang Station are the intermediate stations. The new Gaoyi Station is the overtaking station. There are 72 super large and medium and large bridges along the trunk line of the special passenger line and they amount to 246171.75m. The length of the bridges accounts for 69.3% of the length of the trunk line. Sixty villages and towns are affected by the construction of the railway line with the expropriation and resettlement action plan of the project.

1.2.2.2 Major technical indices and costs Please refer to Table 1-1 for the major indices. It is expected that the total costs will be RMB 35.068654 billion yuan or so. It is jointly funded by the Ministry of Railways, Hebei Province and Henan Province. The World Bank will provide a sum of loan totalling USD 300 million. The civil engineering of the control projects will start at the beginning of 2007. The railway will be open for traffic officially at the end of May 20 11.

1.2.2.3 Socio-economic benefits It is expected that the project will produce the following socio-economic benefits: 1) abridge the travel time from Shijiazhuang to Zhengzhou; 2) release constraints on economic growth (especially the freight transportation) of the project area; 3) the employment opportunities in the building sector of the cities through which the railway passes will increase. In addition, it is expected that the following benefits will be produced through construction of the railway line: 1) decrease transportation and agricultural investment; 2) increase opportunities to plant the economic crops; 3) increase non-agricultural employment opportunities; 4) improve the transportation conditions extending to the market, schools, and the sanitation agencies. The above-mentioned will be realized to better living conditions of the poor living in the project area and will produce positive influence to women and the minorities.

Resettlement impact of the project On the basis of site survey for the feasibility study, the land that is expropriated permanently amounts to 17568mu (1 17 1.2 hectares) and the land occupied temporarily amounts to 13284mu (885.6 hectares) or so. 91.5% of the land expropriated permanently is the arable land and the population affected by the permanently expropriated land is 9,8 15 persons. 1,285 persons of them lose the ownership of all lands. The rural relocation and resettlement population is 15,087 persons and 4,134 persons will be affected by relocation and resettlement of eight schools and forty-seven enterprises. In addition, it is estimated that 984 persons of 254 households will be affected by relocation and resettlement for consideration of environment protection and that 7,380 persons will be affected by the temporary land occupation. So, it is estimated currently that the population that will be affected by the project directly amounts to 37,400 persons. The final appraisal will be completed when the detailed measurement survey results that are tied up with the official land occupation procedures are confirmed. Any modifications are subject to the World Bank's audit and approval. It is expected that the expropriation and resettlement work will start at the beginning of 2007. 1.3 Measures to decrease the expropriation and relocation 1.3.1 Principles to decrease expropriation and relocation The following principles will be followed when fixing the railway line: (1) "Approach, but not go through, the urban area": in other words, avoidance of the urban areas, towns and the highly crowded areas; (2) The railway line will go through the side of a village, but not the center, so as to decrease the relocation of houses and buildings and occupation of fertile land and economic forests; (3) The railway line will run parallel to the current highways or national roads to the largest extent possible and get as closer as possible to them, so as to decrease the expropriated land and obstruction to land partition and travel; (4) Be away from or avoid the natural scenic areas, waterhead and other facilities that are sensitive to shock and noise; (5) Makes bridges play the role of roads (the bridges account for 69.3%) to the largest extent possible in a bid to decrease the land occupation; (6) Be helpful to improve the ambient environment of the railway line, promote the economic development and create social and economic benefits. 1.3.2 Alternative plan 1.3.2.1 Alternative plans for highway Based upon analysis of scope of the possible expropriation and relocation as well as the environment impacts, the special passenger railway line plan boasts remarkable strengths to the highway plan: (1) Expropriation and relocation To make highway transportation capacity reach the design transportation capacity of railway, there is no other choice but to broaden the current national roads and construct new high-grade highways. Besides, the current highways shall be prolonged. As there are a great amount of population and few land on both sides of the areas where the railway goes by, to broaden the highway, it is inevitable to occupy the arable land (especially a great amount of fertile land), fell tress and relocate many buildings. The quantity of the expropriated land (approximately 49mu Ikrn) and resulting relocation by construction of the railway line is smaller compared to construction of highway (at least 120mu Ikm). (2) Resulting environment pollution If the highway plan is selected, the ever-growing passenger transportation volume and freight transportation volume along the highway will lead to great vehicle flow capacity. The impact time and scope of the noise by the commuting vehicles along the highway will increase greatly. The resulting impact scope and degree of highway are bigger than those of railway. The discharge of tail gas by vehicles will lead to increase of concentration of pollutants in air along the highway. As the electric locomotive will be used if railway plan is selected, there isn't the problem of air pollution. Restricted by road condition and artificial factors, the scenario of loss of freights transported by autos and random abandonment of domestic waste are inevitable in the course of highway transportation. The strict management measures of railway transportation will alleviate the above-mentioned situations. (3) Comparison result of highway alternative plan The special passenger line plan for this section is better than the highway alternative transportation plan in respect of both impact to the biological environment and socio-economic benefits, transportation security and materials guarantee. It is the best selection plan. 1.3.2.2 Partial comparison plan 1.3.2.1.1 Shijiazhuang-Xingtai (1) Explanation of Shijiazhuang-Xingtai plan Influenced by the mined out areas of Yuanbei Coal Mine and Gaoyi Industrial Park, three orientation plans in total between Shijiazhuang and Xingtai are researched. They are Yuanshi East Plan, Yuanshi Center Plan and Yuanshi West Plan respectively. Please refer to the sketch map of Shijiazhuang-Xingtai Plan for the detailed information:

Sketch map of Shijiazhuang-Xingtai Plan I Yuanshi East Plan: The line starts from the southern end (CK285+800) of the new Shijiazhuang Station, extends southward to span the upgoing line of the current Beijing-Guangzhou Line and passes by Xiliangzheng West, Dongying East, Zheyang East, spans then Qing-Ying Expressway, Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, # 107 National Road, passes through the join of Douyu Industrial Park and Yingli Village, passes through Shizhuang West, West Ducun West and the eastern side of the East Ring Road of , spans again Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, # 107 National Road, East Zhangzhuang East, Wangtongzhuang West and ends by the new Gaoyi Station to join the west plan of the former Jing-Zhu Expressway. It is 46.198km long. I1 Yuanshi Center Plan: It starts from the southern end (CK285+800) of the new Shijiazhuang Station, extends southward to span the upgoing line of the current Beijing-Guangzhou Line and passes by Xiliangzheng West, Gaoqian West and Niujiazhuang East, spans Qing-Ying Expressway and runs parallels with the current Beijing-Guangzhou Railway on the western side of Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, passes through Douyu East, Macun East, Chicun East, passes through the county seat of Yuanshi County, goes through Zhangye West, Beiyancun West and Guxingzhuang East and ends by the new Gaoyi Station to join the west plan of the former Jing-Zhu Expressway. It is 45.383krn long in total. I11 Yuanshi West Plan: It starts from the southern end (CK285+800) of the new Shijiazhuang Station, extends southward to span the upgoing line of the current Beijing-Guangzhou Line, passes through Xiliangzheng West and Dongying, spans Qing-Ying Expressway, passes through Wannian East, Yincun East, Yuanshi County West, Dongzheng West, Wancheng East and ends by the new Gaoyi Station to join the west plan of the former Jing-Zhu Expressway. It is 45.676km long. (2) Analysis of rationality The line of Plan I1 is relatively smooth and straight and will not span Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and # 107 National Road. However, it runs parallel to Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and goes through the county seat of Yuanshi County. So, it is necessary to relocate some houses and buildings at the county seat of Yuanshi County as well as the station house of the current Beijing-Guangzhou Railway at Yuanshi Station. The total relocation area amounts to approximate 100,000 m2. There are many sites that are sensitive to shock and noise along the project line. The line of Plan I11 is a little longer. It goes by the west of the county seat of Yuanshi County. The quantity of sites that are sensitive to shock and noise is relatively less. However, it is acknowledged by coal mine authorities and departments that there are coal resources even at the mined out areas. The coal resources are being surveyed currently. If the line is selected, some coal resources will be occupied and the length of the occupied areas is approximate 7km. To sum up, plan I features small population of the residents affected by the project, small quantity of earthwork workload and little project investment. It is rational. 1.3.2.1.2 Location plan of Xingtai Station (1) Explanation of the line plan

Location plan of western station of Jing-Zhu Expressway at Xingtai for Plan 11: The comparative starting point of the plan falls on Daliu Village CIK362+500 of . It passes through Zhongping East and extends sothward on the western side of Jing-Zhu Expressway and ends by the new Xingtai Station at Beidongyang Section of Xingtai. It goes southward to span Xingwei Expressway and Lihe, spans Jing-Zhu Expressway and Shahe at Liufang, and ends by Liugu Village, the comparative terminal CIK409+166 of the plan. It is 46.67 long in total. It boasts an investment of RMB 2.628374 billion yuan. (2) Analysis of rationality Based up analysis of the relocation situation and the implementation feasibility, the location plan of Plan I1 will go through three relatively large villages, Dongjingan, Dongwang and Wangkuaicun. If this plan is selected, an additional area of 85 100 m2 shall be relocated compared to Plan I. So, the implementation difficulty is relatively large. Besides, as these two plans are controlled by Handan Location, the lines under these two plans shall span Jing-Zhu Expressway from west to east. The length of these two plans is almost the same. However, Plan I1 requires an additional investment of RMB 80.584 million yuan compared to Plan I. To sum up the above-mentioned factors, the possible passenger flow at the eastern and western station of the highway is almost equivalent. However, Plan I features less relocation, less project investment and high security performance. So, it is recommended that Plan I be adopted. In other words, the eastern location plan of Jing-Zhu Expressway at Xingtai will be adopted. 1.3.2.1.3 Location plan of Handan Station

(1) Explanation of the plan Eastern station location plan of Jing-Zhu Expressway for Plan I: It starts from Liugu Village CK410+000 that is located at the southern part of Shahe Industrial Park, extends southward all along on the east side of Jing-Zhu Expressway, spans Minghe and Qing-Hong Expressway and ends by the new Handan Station that is established at Baotaisi Village that is located 500m to the east of Jing-Zhu Expressway at Handan. It extends southward and spans Zhizhang River and Han-Ji Railway, passes by Zhangji East, spans Zhanghe Riveer and ends by Dahancun South, the comparative terminal CK490+000 of the plan. It is 75.719km long in total and boasts a project investment of RMB 5.834577 billion yuan. The line location in this plan avoids the scope of the planned economic development zone. The sections of it passing through the urban areas of Handan City will be built in manner of the overhead roads. All roads spanning the expressway within Handan city are reserved with the drilling conditions. These days the upgoing highways within the territory of Handan City consist of Qing-Hong Expressway (being constructed), Pingguoyuan Beilu (planned), Pingguoyuan Road (planned), Handan Road (current), Beicang Road (planned), Lianfang Road (planned), Renmin Road (planned to be constructed) and Nanhuan Road (planned). As Beicang Road and Lianfang Road face directly the new Handan Station, the crossing and spanning mode of them shall be adjusted. All the remaining is reserved with conditions to drill downward the special passenger line, so as to decrease impact to the urban upgoing railways to the largest extent possible. Introduction of the current Handan Station for Plan 11: It starts from Liugu Village CK410+000, turns southwest after it passes by Ningtun East, spans Jing-Zhu Expressway, passes by the county seat east of Yongnian County and Jiehedian West, runs parallel to the current Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and goes southward to join the current Handan Station. The new Handan Station is established at the northern freight yard of the current Handan Station. It circles the current Beijing-Guangzhou Railway after it leaves the station, passes by Zhangzhuang East, spans Han-Ji Railway, passes by Lijiazhuang West, Xiangcaiying East and ends by Dahan Village, the comparative terminal of the plan. It is 76.98km long and boasts a project investment of RMB 6.574633 billion yuan. (2) Analysis of rationality In Plan 11, the current Handan Station will be shared. The station is located at the center of the city, so as to facilitate use and travel of the passengers. However, Plan I1 is 1.26km longer than Plan I and an additional of 320,000m2 shall be relocated. The project investment is RMB 740 million yuan more than Plan I. It passes by the current Handan Station. Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and #I07 National Road shall be restructured. The transition project shall be constructed. Large interference will be produced to the operation of the current line. The location of the new station in Plan I is located far away from the downtown area of Handan City, where there are few sites that are sensitive to shock and noise. Though it is inconvenient for passengers to take and transfer, the line is located within the same transportation channel to Jing-Zhu Expressway, avoiding new partition for city planning. The line is located at the planned downtown of the hture Handan City and will produce little influence to the planned economic development zone. The line is smooth and straight, requires small amount of relocation and less project investment. To sum up the above-mentioned factors, Plan I requires small amount of relocation workload and maintains few environment sensitive sites. Besides, the line is short and features small quantity of earthwork and less project investment. It is convenient for passengers to use it. It has the environment rationality. 1.3.2.1.3 Location plan of Anyang Station (I) Explanation of the line plan Location plan of eastern station of Jing-Zhu Expressway at Anyang for Plan I: In this plan, the line starts from Zhangliji Beiwen Village CK466+800. It goes southward to pass by Zhangliji East, spans Zhanghe River and Anyang River and ends by the new Anyang Station that is 2km to the east of Nanwu Village of Jing-Zhu Expressway at Anyang. It goes southward to span Annan Expressway and Tanghe, turns southwest then, passes by Baiying West, Nanchengwang North and the north (these days the construction of some projects within the planned area have started. The newly built stalk power plant at the south of Nanchengwang Village boasts an investment of RMB 240 million yuan. The built Tangying Chicken Plant and Huafeng Flour Plant are large in size) of Tangying Foodstuff Industrial Park, spans Jing-Zhu Expressway, passes by Wulicun South, spans Tang-Tai Railway, passes through Yigou Town East and ends by Beixiaobajiao Village of Hebi, the comparative terminal of the line. It is 70.952km long in total.

Sketch map of stat~onlocatlon of Anyang and Hebe1 Statlon ' Location plan of western station of Jing-Zhu Expressway at Anyang for Plan 11: The comparative starting point of the plan is Zhangliji Beiwen Village CK466+800. It goes southward and passes by Zhangliji East and Liyuan West, spans Jing-Zhu Expressway at Anyang, and maintains the new Anyang Station on the western side of Jing-Zhu Expressway that is located on the eastern side of the East 2" Ring Road of Anayang City. It goes southward all along on the western side of Jing-Zhu Expressway, spans An-Lin Expressway, passes by Tangylng East, spans Tang-Tai Railway, passes through Yigou Town East and ends by Beixiaobajiao Village of Hebi, the comparative terminal of the plan. It is 70.547km long in total. (2) Analysis of rationality Plan I meets the city planning requirements of Anyang City and requires little relocation workload. If Plan I1 is selected, the line will span Jing-Zhu Expressway at Anyang East. The spanning angle is relatively small and a large amount of relocation workload is required. Great interference will be produced to the intensive breeding base of Hanling Township. The line location will also produce large influence to city planning of Anyang City. The city planning shall be adjusted. However, the approval of some land utilization has been completed. The implementation difficulty is large. The line in Plan I is smooth and straight and is 0.405km shorter than that in Plan . The station location in Plan I1 is relatively close to the current downtown of Anyang City and is helpful to attract passengers and facilitate transfer of passengers. The station location in Plan I is far away from the current downtown, relatively speaking, and is unfavorable for passenger attraction and passenger's transfer. Considering the actual situation that Anyang City will develop eastward in the future, the weakness of the plan in respect of attraction of passengers and transfer convenience of passengers is not that important. To sum up, the line in Plan I is smooth and straight and small amount of relocation workload is required. The project investment requires less investment and meets the requirements of city planning of Anyang City. Besides, the areas where the line passes through are distributed with few seismic faultages. So, the security performance of the line is good. The eastern station location plan --Anyang Jing-Zhu Expressway in Plan I is recommended. 1.4 Station location plan of Hebi Station

(1) Explanation of the plan Western station location plan of Jing-Zhu Expressway at Hebi for Plan I: It starts from Nanwagang Village CK513+000 of Anyang City, turns southwest, goes by Baiying West, Nanchengwang North, the north of the Tangying Industrial Park, spans Jing-Zhu Expressway, passes through Wulicun South, Jiangcheng West, reaches Hebei North to join the west plan of Jing-Zhu Expressway of the former Hebi at Hebi North and ends by the new Xinxiang, the comparative terminal CK599+444=CK600+500 of the plan. It is 85.333km long and boasts an investment of RMB 6.170343 billion yuan. Eastern station location plan of Jing-Zhu Expressway at Hebi for Plan 11: The comparative starting point of the plan falls on Nanwagang Village of Anyang City CIK513+000. It turns southward to span Tang-Tai Railway, Pu-He Expressway and ends by the new Hebi Station of Jing-Zhu Expressway at Hebi that is located 300m to the east of Lutun Village. It goes southward to Daodihuangzhuang to span Jing-Zhu Expressway, goes through the communism channel of Cityon the west bank of it and ends by the new Xinxiang, the comparative terminal CIK599+444=CK600+500 of the plan. It is 84.571m long and boasts a project investment of RMB 6.17 1254 billion yuan. Introduction of the current Hebi Station for Plan : It starts from Nanwagang Village of Anyang City CIIK513+000, turns southwest, passes through Baiying West, Nanchengwang North, the north of Tangying Industrial Park, spans Jing-Zhu Expressway, passes through Wulicun South and then spans # 107 National Road and Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and ends by the new Hebi Station on the opposite of the current Hebi Station. It goes southward to pass through the planning area of Gaocun, the current industrial park and the planning area of Qi County, reaches the plan circling Weihu Cartridge Warehouse on the western side at Weihui and ends by the new Xinxiang Station, the comparative terminal CIIK600+230=CK600+500 of the plan. It is 84.43km long and boasts a project investment of RMB 6.297375 billion yuan. (2) Analysis of rationality If Plan I is selected, interference will be produced to Dongyang Exemplary Economic Zone of Hebi City and Juqiao Industrial-intensive Zone of Jun County. It passes by the edge of Tangying Foodstuff Industrial Park and features little impact and small amount of relocation. The station is established on the eastern side of Jing-Zhu Expressway and certain influence will be produced for passengers to use it. Besides, a large amount of investment is required for construction of the supporting facilities at cities where the line passes through. If Plan is selected, the current Hebi Station will be shared, which facilitates passenger's travel and transfer. In addition, the supporting projects can be used as well. However, Liucun Village that is located 500m to the west of the current Hebi Station is Xincun Graveyard Relic- one of the Ten Archaeological Discoveries 2005. The archaeological excavation for the current South-to-North Water Diversion Project is being carried out currently. The further archaeological excavation shall be carried out if the line goes through the area. At the same time, the line goes through Gaocun Planning Area of Hebi City, the current industrial zone and the planned industrial park of Qi County. Inside the industrial park, there are the natural gas stations of Yubei Branch of the West-to-East Gas Diversion Project and 1lOkv transformer substation, great mutual interference will be produce. If Plan I1 is selected, no interference will be produced to Dongyang Exemplary Economic Zone of Hebi City and the Juqiao Industrial-intensive Zone of Jun County. The new Hebi Station will be established in the vicinity of the planned sports plaza of Hebi City that is located on the western side of Jing-Zhu Expressway. The station is close to the downtown area and is convenient for passengers to use it. It meets the planning requirements of Hebi City and small amount of project investment is required for construction of supporting facilities at cities where the line passes through. To sum up, Plan I1 meets the city planning requirements of Hebi City, will produce little impact and requires small amount of investment for relocation resulting from construction of the project and project investment for construction of supporting facilities at cities where the line passes through. It is temporarily fixed that Plan I1 will be applied. In other words, the optimized plan of the western station location plan of Hebi Jing-Zhu Expressway will be applied.

1.3.3 Brief summary The key design principle is to decrease the expropriation and relocation of houses and buildings to the largest extent possible. As line alignment depends on the smallest amount of total project investment, it is fixed in the feasibility study that the line that is far away from the downtown areas, runs parallel with or is close to the current expressways, uses bridges for communication instead of roads and requires the smallest amount of land occupancy will be selected. The impact resulting from the inevitable relocation can't be reduced further during the feasibility study stage. It reflects from certain extent that the affected people prefer the arable land to houses and buildings. During the primary design and design stage of the construction drawing, further consideration will be made for minification of land occupation and issues in relation to expropriation and resettlement. 2.

2.5 SOCIO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND ANALYSIS 2.5.1 Summary This part describes the socio-economic features of the population that are possible to lose land or properties. The information sources are listed below: (1) Site survey made by TSDI for purpose of development of the feasibility study from December 2005 through March 2006; TSDI gained powerful support for development of the feasibility study from the government at various levels and the broad mass of civilians of the regions and cities along the railway line. Survey of issues in relation to the line is carried out on the basis of the materials collected from the statistic bureau, planning commission and other concerned local government departments through discussion with officials with the local government. The detailed themes consist of the hture industrial development, railway alignment, the towns and villages through which the line passes; setting of passenger's channel and culvert; deduction of expropriation of arable lands, especially basic farmland, and relocation of houses and buildings, promotion of development of local economy and poverty alleviation issues. (2) Socio-economic survey made by TSDI from April 2006 through August 2006; The survey was made by TSDI Investigation Group from April 2006 through August 2006. The site investigation involved 1,390 farmer families. The secondary materials were collected from sixty affected towns, providing a great amount of information about the production and living situation of the local farmers for development of resettlement action plan for the affected population. 2.5.2 Socio-economic features of the affected population 2.5.2.1 Summary The data collected in the course of socio-economic survey 2006 have been analyzed in the farmer's livelihood fiamework. Four different aspects of the farmer's socio-economic features are involved in this framework: Human resources: population statistic and education/skill features; Natural resources: land, forest and water sources; Material resources: ownership of producer and consumer's assets; Financial resources: farmer's income and expenditure (situation of loan acquisition). These problems will be discussed in details below. The investigation results about the affected people's attitude toward the railway will be described as well. Human resources The average member amount per family of the investigated farmers is 3.87 persons (Please refer to Table 3-3). The average member amount per family of the majority of farmer families (79%) is 4-6 persons. The average member amount per family of 14% farmer families is 1-3 persons. The average member amount per family of 7% farmer families only is 7-9 persons, the large-sized farmer families. Approximate 23% population are below 17 years old. 12% population are above 60 years old. 40% population are between 17-39 years old. It shows that China saw the procreation peak from 1960 through 1980. The current tendency is retention of stability of family population under the situation that the percentage of the aged people increases. The employed people account for nearly 70% of the people that are above 17 yeas old. 18% of them are accepting the school education. The rest are the retired, the disabled or the patents. In general, the population afforded by one workerllaborer are 1.6 persons, which changes slightly by the size of farmer families. It indicates that the large-sized farmer families are those families (for example, two or more small-sized farmer families have to afford their common elders) that choose to live together when the scale of the family increases. Additionally, the investigation data of the employed show that the employment rate of the female is higher than that of the male. As a matter of fact, all of them are farmers, although the householders of twenty farmer families are the off-farm householders - like teachers or workers. 40% of the people accepting the investigation are farmers depending solely on the agriculture, 25% of them are farmers (58% of them are the migrant laborers) with the second occupation and 3% of them are engaged in the off-farm work. The percentage of the male engaging in the second occupation or the off-farm work is higher than that of the female. However, compared to the male, the female account for the majority of population engaging in the agricultural work only. There are many other occupations as well. However, the small-sized businessltrade, transportation industry and handcraft industry with the carpenter and silversmith as the backbone occupations dominate. As a whole, at least one person of every two families works as the migrant worker for a short period of time or permanently each year. Such migrant workers consist of those persons that work outside the area seasonally or throughout the year. It is estimated by the local officials that 20% farmers will choose to work outside the area for 1-3 month during seasons when the rural works are not that heavy, that 20% will work for 4-9 months and 60% will work for 10- 12 months (works outside the area yearlong and returns only during the harvest season).

Source: site survey made by TSDI from April 2005 through August 2005. 90% or above of the people that are more than 7 years old have received at least the primary school education. 34% of them have completed the middle school education. Only 11% of them have completed the senior high or university education. More than a half of farmer families maintain one member with senior high school education or above. From the above-mentioned proportion, it can be concluded that the female account for the majority of the illiterate. However, the absolute number is not that large. The situation is bettering (the majority of the illiterate are the aged). The adult illiterates (people that have not received the official education) refer to mainly the adults that are 40-60 years old and the aged that are 60 years old or above. To the contrary, the majority of people that are 17-39 years old have received the middle school education or above. The investigation data from the villager committees of villages along the railway line shows that approximately a half of the affected population has completed the middle school education or above. It means that they have excellent training foundation and the occupational or technical training may be provided to improve their skills and that it is easy to help find out the off-farm employment opportunities. These days the farmers (accounting for 50%) are intended to engage in the off-farm work. Although people that have received the senior high or higher education account for a small percentage only, the investigation shows that the proportion of the skilled people is large. It is helpful for them to master the leading farming skills or deal with the off-farm work. Some basic training may be provided to effectively promote the coming transition resulting from the expropriation or relocation. 2 S.2.3 Natural resources (1) Land ownership In 80s of the last century, the family-based contracted responsibility system supplanted the collective farming that was applied in 50s of the last century. Under the family-based contracted responsibility system, the land is allocated to each family by the family scale. As lands of each village are graded into different levels in respect of quality, a portion of the lands with the different quality levels will be allocated to each family, leading consequently to the dispersion of lands acquired by each family. Each family has to execute the contracting contract (the term of the contract lasts fifteen years originally, which was altered into thirty years since 1998). The contract provides these farmers with land utilization rights. The original production team boasts still the ownership of the lands, which is called the collective ownership system as well. 510% of lands of some villages are not allocated to the farmers. The annual contract shall be executed for farmers to farm on these lands. The initial land allocation is extremely equal and even. With the time flies, the situation of farmers changes due to death, birth and marriage. The newly increased population will be allocated with land from the original land reserve. However, with the constant population increase (though the growth is slow), the general development tendency is as follows: (1) per capita land possession quantity drops; (2) the contradiction between the family scale and

quantity of the arable land intensifies - the land possession quantity of nearly a half of the farmer families accepting the survey falls below the average level. In total 412 (8% of the census population) people boast not arable land and it has nothing to do with the rich farmer families, the moderate rich farmer families, the newborn and person from marriage of the poor farmer families. Since they have to wait for land allocation, generally speaking, they will be allocated with land 1-3 years after the land allocation (namely the small-sized land allocation, the fact that the land contracting contract is valid for thirty years will be kept). (2) Arable land, orchard and economic forest The cities along Shi-Zheng Corridor are located on North China Plain, where there are deep and thick soil, fertile land and good farming foundation. Both the planting industry and the animal husbandry develop rapidly. The per capita arable land possession quantity of the investigated farmers is 1.79mu and the per capita arable land possession quantity of 8% farmers is less than 0.5mu. The per capita arable land possession quantity of more than 80% farmers is more than lmu. The arable land possession quantity of these farmers is sufficient, relatively speaking. 12% farmers boast the orchards or the economic forests, the area of which ranges from 0.5 to 2mu. (3) Woodland Only some farmers of certain towns of Handan City boast the contracted woodland out of all investigated farmers, but not farmers of the other towns. It is acknowledged by us during the site investigation that the woodland of villages with woodland is collective properties and one or two woodland patrolmen are assigned to protect these woodlands. Material resources (1) Houses and relevant accessories The majority of houses within the project area maintain the brick and concrete structure, reflecting the traditional building pattern of the area. The other facilities of these houses are excellent and each family is provided with the power supply conditions. 92% farmer families boast indoor or courtyard tap water. Approximately 28% farmers have telephone sets. 12% farmers have the mobile phones. Material resources in the impact areas of the project are shown in Table 3-4.

(2) Productive materials The productive materials possession rate of the affected villages is not that high. Approximate 314 farmers of them boast the barrows and 42% of them boast the threshing machines. 1/10 of them boast the tractors, 117 of them boast the generators (diesel oil or power) and 1/12 of them boast the motorcycles. There are almost not any off-farm assets/facilities in these areas. It means that the possession rate of these facilities will probably increase when the transportation conditions of these areas are improved. (3) Family durables The possession level of the durables can fully explain the affluence situation of the farmers. Approximately 78% of them boast the color TV sets (the majority of them are the CATV), 43% of them boast VCD or similar family appliances, approximately 38% of them boast washing machines and 116 of them boast the refrigerators.

2.5.2.5 Financial resources (1) Income of farmers Table 2-5 shows income distribution of the investigated villages and farmers. The foundation of village-class income distribution is the average income and other indices such as the foodstuff deficiency degree of farmers and quantity of the family enjoying the five guarantees. The income data provided by the village cadres show that the per capita net income of approximately 77% farmers exceeds RMB 1,500 yuan and the per capita net income of approximately 12% farmers falls below RMB 900 yuan. The income data from the investigated farmers show that the income of the majority of farmers is above RMB 1,500 yuan. However, the general income level is far higher than that of the villages. The income of 83% farmers exceeds RMB 1,500 yuan and the income of only 5% (compared to the average level of 8% of villages) farmers is below RMB 900 yuan. It shows that the majority of farmers (along the railway line) are relatively rich and that only few of them are the poor farmers. These data have been acknowledged by cadres of the governmental departments at the township and county level. In their opinion, the investigation results show basically the actual situation of farmers along Shijiazhuang-- Zhengzhou Corridor. However, these data derive from the "control" sample investigation and calculation. The sampling foundation is the feasibility study (impact data) of the project. So, there is possible contradiction between these data and the impact data listed in the finally approved construction design drawing. The executor of the project agrees to sample (10% of the actually affected farmers) again and use it as the benchmark to monitor the project after the detailed measurement and survey are over. (2) Income sources The income sources of villages along the railway line show multi-channel features. Table 2-5 shows the annual per capita net income distribution of cities where the railway line passes through.

Data source: Village-class Socio-economic Survey 2006 organized by TSDI. There are many kinds of economic crops in the project areas and the most common plants are the fruits and vegetables. The production of foodstuff (corn, etc.) is critical important to the local economy. Almost each farmer plants the foodstuff, which is used mainly for private consumption, but not money-earning. The breeding varieties along the railway line consist mainly of fowl, pig, cow and sheep. The non-rural operation refers to the local transportation services and other common commercial activities. Table 2-6 shows different income sources of the investigated farmers. The table emphasizes diversity of the economic activities along the railway line. Out of the total gross income of the sample farmers, the income coming from the second industry and tertiary industry accounts for nearly 18.6%; if the income from migrant labor services is included, the off-farm income accounts for more than 50%. The income from foodstuff and planting of economic crops accounts for 25.5%; if the income of fruits is included, the income from the planting industry accounts for nearly 35% of the total income. If only the net income is considered, the proportion will be lower. It is of great importance to restore income of the affected farmers. In other words, if 20% arable land of these affected farmers is expropriated, the loss of them by gross income will be 7% only. Table 2-6 Income sources and per capital net income of the investigated farmers

Inclusive ofexpenditure for fertilizers, seeds, pesticides, taxes, expenditures for breeding of other varieties and expenditures for off-farm operation. Data source: investigation of farmers, 2006 Table 2-7 shows importance of different kinds of income channels. The importance of migrant labor services and foodstuff production is there for all to see. Some residents gain income from off-farm industries as well.

Data source: socio-economic survey, 2006 (3) Consumption mode and saving It can be concluded from the expenditure data of 1,390 farmers that the average expenditure of each investigated farmer in 2006 is RMB 1,861 yuan. Just as indicated in Table 3-8, the per capita expenditure of different areas shows different features. The highest per capita expenditure of Shijiazhuang is RMB 2,547 yuan and that of Xinxiang is RMB 1,277 yuan, RMB 1,270 yuan lower than that of Shijiazhuang . Out of the average consumption modes of the affected people, the expenditures on the basic demands such as foodstuffs and houses account for the largest part, which is nearly 54%. The conclusion drawn from the site survey also shows that the expenditures on houses account for the largest part-the local people spend a lot to improve the housebuilding conditions. The difference to minus per

capita expenditure (2,218-1,861 = 357) from the per capita net income is the per capita saving. The saving amount of different farmers differs from each other. Out of all investigated farmers, 100 farmer families have ever borrowed money from bank and relatives. The loan totals RMB 1.50 million yuan. 48 farmer families have borrowed more than RMB 10.000 yuan from for purpose of off-farm operation, which accounts for 85% of the total borrowing. 52 farmer families have made a loan of no more than RMB 10,000 yuan. The majority of these borrowings are used for purpose of agricultural activities. Out of the forty-six villages that are investigated, 32 villages (76%) have ever implemented the small-amount loan and poverty-alleviation projects.

2.5.3 The Vulnerable Group The line links Hebei Province and Henan Province and is located on the Central Plains, the birthplace of the ancient culture of China. There isn't minority living along the railway line. The vulnerable group involved in this line refers to some poor people. The majority of the villages affected by Shi-Zheng Corridor belong to North China Plain, where there is relatively abundant land resources and products. However, it is doubtless that expropriation of some lands of the farmers will lead to certain inconvenience to them, especially the farmer families with relatively low income and heavy burdens. It is a hard nut to effectively guarantee living of these people when their lands are expropriated. Approximately 213 poor farmer families are "(short of development capacity) the poverty-stricken farmer families". In other words, the family members or the major laborers of these families suffer from some yearlong injuriesldiseases (physically, mentally or socially). After consultation with some officials taking charge of the poor farmer family work for features of these families, the major reason leading to their poverty lies on the poor physical conditions of their major laborers or failure of them to plant their lands effectively. Another reason is their deficiency in skills. The civil affairs department of the concerned towns take charge of providing "five kinds of guarantees" to the said poverty-stricken families, including foodstuff, dwelling, clothes, heating resources and funeral expenses.

2.6 Issues tied up with the railway line

2.6.1 Understanding of and attitude toward for the planned railway Only a small portion (10%) of farmers are unaware of information about Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Railway when the socio-economic survey is being conducted, which is disclosed through meetings of officials at various levels, newspaper, TV broadcasting and the site survey made by TSDI. It is believed by approximately 85% of the investigated farmers that it is necessary to construct the railway. The beneficiary group at the project area will draw benefits from it. The construction of the railway will speed up exchange of persons, resources and information of the area and bring huge social and economic benefits to the area. Out of all investigated objects, only 10% of them worry about loss of land and some properties. Nearly 68% of them believe that the project will bring about some negative impacts, which, compared to the resulting benefits, are too small to be considered. Approximately 22% of them believe that the project will produce no negative impacts, but benefits completely. 2.6.2 Information required about expropriation and resettlement The land expropriation for purpose of construction of the project will lead to loss of land and influence of dwelling conditions of some farmers. In total 3,029 fanner families and 15,087 people will be relocated. It is doubtless that it will result in temporary difficulty for their living. The majority of the affected residents are the rural residents. The reemployment of farmers is a great issue after they lose their lands. The inappropriate expropriation, relocation compensation and resettlement will lead to possible drop of the living standards of the affected residents. The investigated farmer families list information they required about land expropriation and houseshuilding relocation in the table below. Based upon the requirements, they have no other choice but to choose the most important one from the given nine options. Table 2-9 shows these options.

Data source: calculation made on the basis of the investigation data of farmers, 2006. Up to now, the affected population are urgent to learn information about the compensation that will be made for them. 62% farmer families regard it as the most important information. Out of all the remaining options, the time of land expropriation is the only option for which the attention degree exceeds 13%. Besides, 7% farmer families care for the time when the compensation will be made. 7% farmer families care for information about help to be provided for househuilding relocation.

2.6.3 Preference to measures for compensation, relocation and income rehabilitation We investigate the compensation measures preferred by the farmer families after they lose compensation for loss of land and/or houseshuildings for production purpose. Table 2- 10 summarizes investigation results of these farmer families. Below shows brief description of their answers: 31% farmer families (these lands are the arable lands on which they are planting in line with the utilization right contracts) hope that the land compensation is paid to them directly. 50% farmer families hope that all farmer families share the loss jointly and that the land compensation is paid directly to the villager committee, which will be paid by the farmer families groups to the farmers evenly and equally. Approximately 19% farmer families are intended to reclaim new arable lands. If the compensation is paid directly to the farmer families losing landlproperties, except the necessary expenditure for construction or restructuring after the relocation is over, the majority of the investigated farmer families prefer to investment to some small-sized businesses such as retailing, small-sized shops, provision of transportation services or improvement of agricultural production conditions. Few people (3%) plan to use it as contingency expenditures such as living expenses before fining a new job at the coastal areas or accepting the technical training.

The answers made, in the course of the survey, by the village cadres to the reallocation of the remaining lands after some lands are expropriated for construction of the railway can be summarized as the following two: compared to the farmer families, the village cadres prefer to land reallocation in respect of the reallocation of the remaining land and direct payment of the compensation to the farmer families losing landlproperties. Under such situation, we had centralized discussion on this issue with cadres at the county-level. The meetings were called to help the local governmental officials find out pros and cons of each mode on the basis of experience in previous projects and help them choose one strategy with the least risk and the largest opportunity.

2.6.4 Exploitable land The implementation of the "land for land " compensation strategy depends on the fact if there is sufficient amount of arable land and the feasibility of reallocation of remaining land to all villagers. According to the discussion and the results of the site survey, under the majority of situations, the majority of the investigated villages maintain the land reserves. Besides, there are a great amount of land resources along the railway line. So, land reallocation within these areas is feasible. As the guiding rule for the planning, we believe that the land reallocation is feasible only under the following two preconditions: (1) The land reallocation amount doesn't exceed the total amount by 20% or all villagers agree to the land reallocation; (2) The per capita arable land quantity after the land reallocation shall be sufficient for them to at least maintain their daily living. 3. PROJECT IMPACTS 3.1 DETERMINATION OF IMPACT SCOPES OF THE PROJECT The impact scope of the project is fixed in line with the Feasibility Study (First draft) as of April 2006 and the Feasibility Study as of September 2006 of TSDI- designer of the project.

3.1.1 Project-related land expropriation and relocaiton The expropriation and relocation scope of the project is fixed on the basis of the Feasibility Study (First draft) as of April 2006 and the Feasibility Study as of September 2006 of TSDI- designer of the project. The project-related expropriation and relocation consists of subgrade, barrel-drain, culverts and stations of the railway line. Generally speaking, the bridge projects of the project are 2 1-meter-wide. The subgrade projects are usually 35-46m wide to meet different heights and gradients of the subgrade projects. The station sites are usually 150-200m wide (the station line extends approximately 1,900m).

Temporary land occupation for purpose of constructin The temporary land occupation scope of the project is fixed on the basis of the Feasibility Study (First draft) as of April 2006 and the Feasibility Study as of September 2006 of TSDI- designer of the project. The temporary land occupation of the project consists of land occupied temporarily for purpose of stock ground, spoil ground, facilities to meet living during the construction period and temporary roads. (1) Large-sized temporary auxiliary facilities The project maintains one tracking base, six beam fabrication and stock yards, thirteen graded gravel blending stations, nineteen improved soil blending stations and seven track plates prefabrication sites. (2) Construction shortcut and side line The newly built construction shortcuts are 61 .lkm long, the restructured construciton shortcuts are 148.5km long and the newly built railway side lines are 1.2km long.

The land occupied for construction of the borrow ground consists of hillside, dry land and wasteland. The project is designed with sixteen spoil grounds. All of them are the borrow grounds of the backfilling projects and no additional land is occupied by them.

3.1.3 Environment impact and environment friendly relocation scope (1) Noise Impact scope of noise is the areas that are located on both sides of the railway line and are less than 200m away from the centerline of the outer track. There are 158 sound environment protection targets in total along the railway line, including 25 especially sensitive sites such as schools and kindergartens and 33 centralized dwelling areas. The major noise treatment measures applied to the entire line consist of: -- 95 sound shields, 56,970m; -- 151 sound insulation ventilation windows, 29,5351112; After the above-mentioned measures are applied: a. Out of the 108 supersensitive points along the borer of the railway line, 69 centralized supersensitive points have been provided with the sound barriers to reduce the noise, so as to make it at the borderline of the railway- places that are 30m away from the centerline of the outer track- reach the noise standard of 70dBA during daytime and night and 70dBA during night, which is specified under GB12525-90 Emission Standards and Measurement Methods of Railway Noise on the Boundary alongside Railway Line; there are few house/building at 39 supersensitive points along the railway line. The sound insulation window sound intensity point prevention measure shall be applied to the scattered sensitive points or the sensitive points that are inappropriate for sound barrier measures, so as to make the houses meet the use function. b. Out of the 25 supersensitive points including schools and kindergartens as well as the 133 sensitive residence buildings, seven sites including Hequpu Primary School and Yanzhuang Primary School are provided with the sound barrier measures. 63 sites including Yingli Village and Houxiaozhuang are provided with the sound insulation window measures. 88 sites including Xitaying Village and Xiying are provided with sound barrier and sound insulation jointly in a bid to meet the corresponding standard limit or the use functions of houses/buildings. The costs for noise pollution prevention and treatment for the entire line amount to RMB 178.328 million yuan, including sound barrier investment of RMB 163.610 million yuan and sound insulation window investment of RMB 14.718 million yuan. (2) Shock The impact scope of shock refers to the scope that is within lOOm away fi-om the centerline of the outer track. All shock-sensitive points on both sides of the project are located in the rural areas. The shock is small in size. But there are many shock points. The protection targets of environmental shock total 112 sites and are mainly the villages on both sides of the railway, some schools, kindergartens, township or county hospitals. As the train speed of Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line is relatively high and the impact scope of shock is relatively large, it can be concluded from the shock forecast of the sensitive points and calculation of the conformity distance that the majority of the shock of the trunk line section, especially the high-speed sections at places there are 30m away from the outer track of the railway line are higher than 80dB. To alleviate impact caused by shock of trains, the following shock absorption measures are put forward: -- All sensitive points that are nearest to the outer track of the railway line and with a shock value of more than 80dB have been applied with the shock absorption measures. The ballastless railway is designed with the shock absorption integrated ballast-subgrade measures. Considering the shock transmission rules, the both ends of the embankment section of the shock absorption ballast-subgrade shall be reserved with 100m for extension respectively and the both ends of the bridge section shall be reserved with 50m respectively for extension. The setting length for the embankment section shall not be less than 200m and that of the bridge section shall not be less than 1OOm. -- To make the indoor shock meet the standard, it is recommended that the relocation measures be applied to the sensitive points exceeding the standard noise standard for the both sides of the railway line after the ballastless railway is applied with the shock absorption ballast-subgrade. -- It is recommended that the local government at various levels and the concerned departments stop approve construction of sensitive buildings such as residence buildings, schools and hospitals within the shock conformity scope of the planned Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line as listed in Table 6-5. The land may be used for construction of industrial and commercial buildings with relatively good structures such as warehouse, logistic and processing. The project is designed with 83 shock absorption ballast-subgrades in total, which extend 45690 double-line meters. The investment estimate is RMB 45.69 million yuan; 30,500m2 of house/buildings shall be relocated to meet the indoor shock conformity standards and RMB 15.25 million is required. After above-mentioned measures are applied to reduce shock caused by the train, the shock control principles are meet, the impact scope of shock is reduced and quantity of the affected people is reduced. (3) Electromagnetic radiation The impact scope of electromagnetic radiation for TV program signal reception is the scope that is within 80m away from the centerline of the outer track on both sides of the railway line respectively. The impact scope of shelter and reflection by the elevated line is the scope that is within 160m away from the centerline of the outer track on both sides of the railway line respectively. The impact scope of the traction power transformer substation is the scope within 50m away from the bounding wall of the transformer substation. There are 117 reception-sensitive points of TV program signal on the both sides of the project. After the project is put into operation, the electromagnetic radiation produced by operation of the trains will make the signallnoise ratio of each channel along the railway line drop in a large range. Out of the 102 TV channels from monitored from 12 points that receive TV program signals by antenna, 92 of them have reached the signallnoise of 35dB-the normal value for TV program broadcasting before the project is applied. After the project is completed, based upon the operation speed of the train, only 59 channels meet the requirements of the signallnoise ratio, accounting for 64% of channels before the project is implemented. After the reflection and shelter impacts of the elevated bridge and train body are taken into consideration, the high-speed operation of train leads to fast declination of the wireless channel. From Table 8-4 it can be concluded that each sensitive point is seriously affected and the signaynoise ratio drops a lot. As the CATV popularity along the newly built Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line is low extremely, the project, in general, will produce remarkable influence to reception of TV program signals by residents along the railway line. After the construction of the newly built Shi-Zheng Railway is over, the electromagnetic radiation produced by the trains to the resident's reception of TV program signals can be eliminated through access of CATV. At the same time, the reflection and shelter impact produced by the train body can be eliminated completely. It is recommended that the families that are influenced to receive the TV program signals reserve the CATV access compensation fees. The compensation will be made to families at the sensitive points that receive the TV program signals by antenna and their TV program signal reception situation worsens dramatically after the project is constructed. RMB 500 yuan will be compensated to each family and in total RMB 5.59 million yuan will be reserved. Six units of 220KV traction transformer substations will be built for the project to realize AT power supply. They are New Gaoyi Transformer Substation, New Xingtai Transformer Substation, New Handan Transformer Substation, New Anyang Transformer Substation, New Hebi Transformer Substation and New Xinxiang Transformer Substation. The industrial frequency electric field and magnetic field produced by the traction transformer substation are far lower than the national standard and will not produce harmful influence to physical health of residents living outside the bounding wall of the transformer substation. The locations of the transformer substations to be constructed newly for the project have not been fixed yet. Though the industrial frequency electric field and magnetic field outside the bounding wall produced by the traction transformer substation are far lower than the national standard, to further the electromagnetic impact and eliminate the worries of the residents, it is recommended that they shall be built more than 30m away from such sensitive targets as the resident's dwelling areas, kindergartens and hospitals.

3.2 SURVEY OF PROJECT IMPACT To ascertain relocation and expropriation objects and quantity of the project, based upon the expropriation and relocation scope and the expropriation and relocation indices in kind of the project listed under the Feasibility Study (First Draft) as of April 2006 of TSDI-the designer of the project, TSDI organized, during April-August 2006, the concerned persons to analyze the indices in kind of different impact targets such as people, houses, land and exclusive facilities listed under the Feasibility Study as of September 2006 and carried out the supplementary investigation. Survey method of people, land and houselbuilding: ascertain the houses/buildings and auxiliary facilities to the concrete families based upon the Feasibility Study (First draft) as of April 2006 of TSDI as well as the foundation to divide owership limit of county (citylprefecture), township and village (resident' s committee). Full investigation into quantity of people involved and affected by houselbuilding relocation; ascertainment of land to the village (resident's committee) and supplementary inviestigation of other land types. The land expropriation scope is subject to certain change due to the special features of the project as well as the modification opinions and requirement put forward by the people's government at various levels and the residents along the railway line. These days the construction unit, design unit and the local people's government at various levels are negotiating and exchanging and the design unit is carrying out design modification. The piling and laying-out of the majority of land expropriation scopes of the project have not been fixed on the construction site. So, the indices in kind of project impact during the cosntruciton period will deviate from the results of feasibility study to certain extent. To ascertain accurately the indices in kind of project impact, the building unit, construciton unit, the responsible unit appointed by the local people's government along the railway line and the expropriation and relocation objects will be organized to jointly measure and count and sort the quantity of the various kinds of land within the land expropriation and relocaiton scope and relocaiton houseshuildings. All the concerned parties shall make their signatures.

3.3 INDICES IN KIND OF PROJECT IMPACT The expropriation and relocation impact scope of the project consists of twenty-five counties (cities, prefectures), sixty townships (townships) and 316 administrative villages (resident's committee). The relocation affects and involves 22 counties (cities, prefectures), 42 counties (township) and 7 1 administrative villages (resident's committee). The relocation and resettlement residents total 150,873 persons of 3029 families. The lands expropriated amount to 17,568mu; the land occupied temporarily for purpose of construction amounts to 13,284mu; The area of houseshuilding relocated for purpose of construction of the project total 368,557m2. 3 1,300m2 of houseshuilding shall be relocated to meet the shock conformity. 162,660 units of scattered trees and a small amount of auxiliary and exclusive facilities will be influenced along the railway line will be felled.

3.3.1 Land expropriation 3.3.1.1 Permanent land occupation The total area of the lands expropriated for the project is 17,568mu, consisting of 16,082mu arable land, 440mu garden plot, lOlmu woodland and 947mu land for other purposes. County (city and prefecture), township (township) and village (resident's committee) specific quantity of land expropriation is listed in Table 3-2 and Annex 1 respectively. Table 3-2 Checklist of land permanently expropriated for Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line Continued Table 3-2 Checklist of land permanently expropriated for Shi-Zheng

Data source: site survey, April-August 2006; feasibility study, September 2006. 3.3.1.2 Land occupied for temporary purpose Land occupied for temporary purpose refers to the lands that are borrowed temporarily during the cosntruction period of the project, including the stock ground, spoil ground, production and living facilities during the construction period and temporary roads. In total 13,284mu lands are borrowed by the project and the averge borrow period is one year. The major large-sized temporary and auxiliary facilities of the project consist of the tracking base, beam fabrication yard, stock ground and the blending station. According to the current design of the project, the project will not occupy the basic farmland and use it as the temporary construction sites, but the dry land and the unexploited land. The newly increased temporary land occupation amounts to 7,5 10.5mu. Based upon the construction experience, a relatively large base will be occupied to fabricate and stock the beams. It is hard to restore them after the construction is over. The permanent destruction will be produced to the occupied land. Generally speaking, the operation foundation of the tracking base, sand stone stock ground, graded gravel blending station, and the improved soil blending station is shallow. So, it is relatively easy to treat it. The inappropriate treatment will influence the local plants. Consequently, the arable land will decrease and the vegetation coverage ratio will decrease. It is designed that the temporary construction shortcuts towards the key projects (bridges and subgrades) and the borrow ground will be constructed for the project. The temporary construction shortcuts are 209.6km long. The newly constructed construction shortcuts are 61 .lkm long and the existing construction shortcuts are 148.5km long. Since the majority of the project are located on the plain area and the temporary construction shortcuts and the construction sites occupy some dry lands, certain influence will be produced to the agricultural production. The filling project dominates the project and approximately 19.802 million cubic meters of soil are required, occupying approximately 5,773.5mu. 3 The barren mountain and slopes shall be selected as the borrow ground of the project. The nineteen borrow grounds of the project consist of fourteen slow slope wasteland and five dry lands. Consideration shall be made for the temporary projects to make them serve both the permanent and temporary purposes. The existing sites or the permanenet expropriation land and city land within the station area shall be used to the largest extent, so as to reduce additional land occupation. Consideration shall be made to construct the construction shortcuts of the project for both temporary and permanet purposes, with a view to make them serve as approach station roads, village roads, railway maintenance roads. The construction shortcuts shall be established in the vicinity of the local agricultural machine farming roads. The original machine farming roads or existing roads (existing roads extend 148.5km) shall be used in a bid to reduce impact caused by construction of temporary roads to the agricultural production environment. The construction vehicles shall go strictly by the specified traveling roads, so as to prevent the construction vehicles from pressing and destroying the original surface vegetation randomly during the construction period. The farming level of 0.3-0.4m of the arable land that will be used for construction of temporary projects and borrow grounds shall be stocked aside before the construction starts. After the project is over, the surface shall be rehabilitated for farming. At the same time, the earth bag weir shall be established surrounding the temporary stock ground for protection. The project is included in the Medium and Long-term Planning for Railways approved by the State Council. In the utilization planning of lands along the railway line, the land to be used by the project is reserved as the "State key traffic construction project". The following procedures will be executed for the basic farmland to be expropriated permanently in line with the Regulations on the Protection of Basic Farmland: a. Procedures to go through use transfer of land for agricultural purpose China practices the basic farmland protection system. Based upon the regulations set forth under Article Forty-four of the Land Administration Law of PRC and Article Fifteen of the Regulations on the Protection of Basic Farmland, it is necessary to gain approval from the State Council and go through the application procedures of use transfer of land for agricultural purpose providing that the basic farmland can't be avoided in respect of location selection of the construction project and that the agricultural land shall be transferred to construction land. b. Payment of arable land reclamation fee According to Article Sixteen of the Regulations on the Protection of Basic Farmland, the unit that is approved to occupy the basic farmland shall take charge of reclaiming the arable land to the same quantity and quality of the occupied basic farmland based upon the quantity it has occupied. Provided that the reclamation is not permitted or the reclaimed arable land doesn't meet the requirements, the arable reclamation fee shall be paid in line with the regulations of the concerned provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. The exclusive sum will be used to reclaim new arable land. As the land reserve resources along the railway line is not sufficient and it is hard for the construction unit to reclaim "arable land with the same quantity and quality", the "arable reclamation fee" will be paid. In terms of the basic farmland to be occupied by the subgrade, the farmland quantity confirmed by the local departments during the follow-up stage will prevail. The same amount of arable land reclamation fee shall be paid. c. Treatment of farming level of the basic farmland Based upon the requirement that the unit occupying the basic farmland shall use the soil of the farming level of the occupied farmland for soil improvement of the newly reclaimed lands, infertile lands and other arable lands in line with the requirements of the people's government at county-level or above that is set forth under Article Two of Regulations on the Protection of Basic Farmland, 0.3-0.4m from the surface of the basic farmland shall be shovelled and stocked aside before the construction starts, which shall be transported to the appropriate sites after negotiation with the local government. When necessary, the farming level shall be transported to the borrow ground for stock, which will be used by the local people's government for reclamation of arable land and soil improvement of infertile land or other arable lands. 3 The construction unit will provide land expropriation compensation, compensation for attachment and young crops, and resettlement allowances in line with the Land Administration Laws and the Implementation Regulations on Land Administration Laws. The surplus laborers resulting from the land expropriation are to be resettled by the local people's government by developing the agricultural and by-product and establishing township business. The people's government at various levels will coordinate the resettlement in line with the given policies. In this way, influence caused by land expropriation to the agriculture can be lowered to some extent.

Relocation of houses and auxiliary facilities The total area of the houses/buildings to be relocated due to construction of the project amounts to 368,557m2, including private and collectively owned houses/building. The area of the housing amounts to 343,365 m2 and that of the simple structure houses amounts to 25,192 m2. Please refer to Table 3-3 and Annex 1 for county (city and district), township (township) and village specific (resident's committee) floor area of the various kinds of houses/buildings and auxiliary facilities to be relocated.

Please refer to Annex 2 for county (city and district), township (township) and village (resident's committee) specific environment friendly relocation houseshuilding area. The environment friendly data shall be calculated on the basis of the environment impact report as of November 2006 of TSDI 2006. Following that, we will amend the enviroment impact report in line with the audit and reply opinion of the concerned departments. It is estimated in the environment impact report that it is RMB 500 yuan/~2.The standard and method listed in this action plan will be followed in the course of the actual relocation.

2.3.3 Affected population of the project The affected population of the project refer to two groups of people. The first group of people are the actually affected people, such as affected population of relocation and the actually affected population of land expropriation. The other group of people refer to the rural population to be resettled, the theoretical data calculated on the basis of the National Land Law. The latter represents the calculation result of the collective ownership system of the rural land of China, which will be used as one index to analyze the land expropriation degree only in the course of relocation and resettlement. Based upon the house relocation materials provided by the designer as well as the on-site verification, the affected population of Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line amount to 15,087 persons of 3,029 families in total. Additionally, based upon regulations set forth under Article Forty-seven of the National Land Law, the rural population needing production resettlement (production resettlement population) for construction of Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line is 9,8 15 persons, which is obtained to divide the area of the expropriated arable land by per capita arable land of the rural population before the land expropriation: Area of the arable land expropriated Quantity of rural people to be resettled = C......

3.3.5 Scattered tress and tombs The scattered trees that are affected by construction of the project consist of the various kinds of trees that are around the house of the migant familiy and in their farrnalnds and shall be felled or transplanted due to land expropriation for construction of the project. In total 162,660 pieces of scattered trees along the railway line will be influenced, 141,160 of them are within the territory of Hebei Province and 21,500 are within the territory of Henan Province. In total 205 tombs shall be relocated for construction of the project, 120 of them are within the territory of Hebei Province and 85 of them are within the territory of Henan Province.

3.3.6 Exclusive facilities The affected exclusive facilities of the project consist mainly of power line, communication optical fiber, etc. It is designed that the alleviation and repair measures will be applied in respect of project design. Please refer to Table 3-7 for statistics of the degree of the influence. (1) Idea for protection of line equipment such as off-road communication and broadcasting line and compensation rules The major communication and broadcasting facilities along Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line consist of facilities of CNC, China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile, broadcasting and TV system and military system. There are many communication and broadcasting facilities at Shijiazhuang, Handan, Xinxiang and Zhengzhou, which will subject to influence of the new electrified railway line to be constructed. -- The affected elevated lines will be moved to a further place in line with the current pole-surface mode. The embedded cable is Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

applicable if it is hard to move it to a hrther place due to the restriction on landform. -- All communication lines that cross the elevated railway lines shall be altered to underground cables or optical fibers, which shall be provided with steel tube shields and paved in the subgrade of the railway. -- Make compensation to the telecommunication departments in line with the national regulations for the affected rural and urban communication cable and facilities. (2) Ideas for proteciton of oil and gas pipe and other facilities and the compensation rules The line will run parallel with or cross over many long and large oil and gas pipelines. Shaanxi-Jing No.2 Line Gas Transmission Pipeline meets the line with the territory of Shijiazhuang. The diameter of the pipeline is 660mm. It crosses over the railway line. The diameter of the gas transmission line from Shijiazhuang-Anping is 526mm. Shaanxi-Beijing No. 1 Line Gas Transmission Pipeline lies between Shijiazhuang and Handan and the diameter of the pipeline is 526mm. It crosses over and runs parallel to the railway. The gas transmission pipelines with a diameter of 377mm and 159mm cross over the railway line at Anyang. The gas transmission pipeline with a diameter of 425mm from to Anyang crosses over and runs parallel with the railway at Xinxiang. The oil transmission pipeline with a diameter of 426mm from Puyang to crosses the railway line at Xinxiang . Distrubed by the electrified railway line, the interference will be produced to the oil and gas pipeline running parallel to or crossing the railway line under the effect of the inductive coupling and Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

resistance coupling. To reduce or eliminate its influence completely, such effective measures as shield, insulation, cathode proteciton, earthing current drainage sacrificial anode can be applied to the pipeline. Under the premise that the security is guaranteed, the compensation will be made only for proteciton of oil and gas pipeline and the concerned facilities. Emphasis shall be attached to protection in a bid reduce the relocation and save project investment. Should other impacts take place in the course of implementation of the project, the principles and methods that are the same to this RAP will be applied to acknowledge corresponding indices in kind and treatment measures.

Production and living facilities The rural production and living facilities affected by construction of the project consist mainly of machinery farming roads, footpath, motor-pumped well and irrigation channels. Please refer to Table 3-7 for statistics of the influence degree. The appropriate irrigation and drainage culverts shall be set at sections where the line passes by the flood drainage ditch and the agricultural irrigation channels. When the project occupies or covers the above-mentioned facilities, the moval and restructuring shall be carried out to assure that hnctions of the original facilities will not be affected. After the project is implemented, it is evitable that the subgrade and station will partition the villages and arable land, inconveniencing the travel and work of the residents. It is designed to be a fully flyover project and sections where it crosses the current roads and the planned roads are designed with bridges or culverts. The bridge culverts may be Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

used as passengers of residents on both sides of the railway and impact will be decreased. The barrel-drain shall be designed in line with the local situation, economical and suitable. They shall be made at sections with good landform and good geological conditions to the largest extent possible. The outlet of the barrel-drain shall be introduced to the natural channels. Efforts shall be made to prevent the water from entering into the farmland and villages to harmlinfluence the agricultural production and the people's living. The construction shortcuts for both permanent and temporary purposes of the project shall be taken into consideration, so as to find out the way to use them as station-approach roads, village roads and railway maintenance roads. The construction shortcuts shall be set based upon the situation of the local machine farming roads, so as to make use of the original machinery farming roads and existing roads to the largest extent possible (the original roads used reach 148.5km) and reduce impact to the agricultural operation environment by building temporary roads.

4. LEGAL FRAMEWORK AND RESETTLEMENT POLICY 4.1 GENERAL The legal framework and expropriation and resettlement policy of Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line have two sources: Chinese laws and regulations including the local regulations, and the policy requirements of the World Bank. Below is introduction of the related documents.

4.2 OVERVIEEW OF LEGAL FRAMEWORK - NATIONALJLOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS The 2004 Land Administration Law of China sets forth the regulations on land compensation as well as expropriation and resettlement in the affected projects, including land ownership and use right, land protection, amount of land compensation, resettlement subsidy, as well as measures for proper resettlement of the affected population. According to Article 8 of the Land Administration Law, the lands in the urban areas belong to the state, while the lands in the rural areas and suburbs (such as residential lands, farmlands, and mountains) belong to the collectives of farmers. The collectives and the collective members (a majority of 213) may make decisions on land adjustment, redistribution (Article 14) or cultivation of new lands (Article 3 1). The Land Administration Law also stipulates that, in the case of land expropriation, the corresponding compensations, such as land compensation fees, resettlement subsidies, and compensations for land accessories and young crops, shall be made according to the original use of the land. The compensation for the expropriated farmland shall be several times of the AAOV of the farmland. Similarly, the resettlement subsidy to each rural people shall be several times of the AAOV of the farmland. The government of a province or a municipality directly under the Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

central government is entitled to stipulate the amount of compensation for land accessories and young crops. Article 48 and 49 require that the resolution on compensation criteria and the amount of compensation shall be open to the collective who owns the land, and that the amount of compensation shall be directly paid to the organization or collective the land belongs to. The specific Implementary rules stipulate the issuance of such information as the compensation qualifications, the closing date, the relevant time and the proceedings, the implementation plan for expropriation and resettlement, as well as the supervision. Below are some laws, regulations, and documents applicable to this project: Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China revised and effective in October 2004; Implementary Rules of the Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China effective in January 1999; Forest Law of the People's Republic of China revised in 1998; Law of the People's Republic of China on Protection of Cultural Relics implemented on November 19, 1982; Regulatory Rules for Management of Planning and Construction of Villages and Towns implemented in November 1999 (#I16 Order of the State Council of the People's Republic of China); Resolution of the State Council on Deepening Reform and Reinforcing Land Administration effective in October 2004 (Guofa Document #[2004]28); Notice of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security on Directions of Employment Training and Social Security of the Farmers Deprived of Their Lands Forwarded by the General Office of the State Council dated April 2006 (Guofa Document #[2006]29); Notice of the General Office of the State Council on the Issues Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

No. 1, it shall be avoided to cause a Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

great deal of expropriation and relocation as well as affected people through comparison, study and design adjustment in all possible conditions, and No. 2, when expropriation and relocation can't be avoided, great efforts shall be made to do a good job of resettlement of the affected people, so as to assure that the standard of living of the affected people is no lower than that before land expropriation and relocation, and greater efforts shall be made to enable them to benefit from the projects and improve their standard of living. The said policy of the World Bank can be divided into the following items: A. Whenever possible, land expropriation, relocation and affected people shall be avoided or minimized, and all feasible alternative plans shall be considered. B. When relocation is not avoidable, plan for resettlement of the affected people shall be developed in the initial phase of project preparations. C. The affected people shall get all compensations for their loss before actual relocation. D. Compensations shall be paid to the individuals or collectives at the replacement price without any deduction. E. They shall not be rejected to get compensations or other alternative assistance even if they don't have legal qualifications, licenses or permits. F. The affected people shall be able to get assistance during relocation and resettlement. G. The affected people shall have measures for making a living and opportunities of development, and there shall be Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

resettlement policy and plan for the people affected by rehabilitation in regards to their production and living. H. During planning and implementation of resettlement of the affected people, the affected people shall be encouraged to take active part in it, and suitable channels of social involvement and complaint shall be established. I. The affected people shall be consistent with the residents in the resettlement area, both economically and socially. J. Attention shall be paid to the weak populations, and more assistance shall be offered to them. (2) High consistency of China's policy with the requirements of the World Bank A. China's policies and laws & regulations for the people affected by projects share the same objective with the involuntary resettlement policy of the World Bank. The World Bank's policy requests consideration of all possible alternative plans and avoidance or minimization of the number of affected possible. The project owners and the relevant organizations must make great efforts and take various measures to minimize the scale of expropriation and relocation as well as the impact of expropriation and relocation on residents, organizations and the infrastructure facilities. B. According to the actual situations of Henan and Hebei provinces, the upper and lower limits of compensation for various types of expropriated land are clearly set forth, for the purpose of assuring that the production and living standards of the affected people shall be no lower than those before land expropriation, and efforts shall be made to enable the affected Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenaer Line bv Loan of the World Bank

people to directly benefit from the projects, so that they can improve their production and living standards. C. In order to reduce and eliminate the risks of resettlement, the governments shall encourage the land-for-land way of resettlement1. If the farmlands are insufficient and it is impossible to compensate the affected people through internal land exchange, higher times of compensation shall be offered, and a variety of measures shall be taken in resettlement. (3) The difference between the policies of the People's Republic of China and the World Bank, and solutions In order to assure smooth resettlement of the affected people, mutual communications shall be made in the case of inconsistency between the policies of China and the World Bank while the resettlement action plan giving no clear solution. Responsible for the affected people, negotiations shall be made in time to resolve any problem. When the local laws and regulations and the involuntary resettlement policies don't agree with each, the latter shall prevail. Replacement price: The local laws and regulations have set forth the criteria for land compensation. These laws and regulations are sufficient in most cases, but the replacement price is not reflected in all cases. Solution: not cash payment but land exchange shall be preferentially adopted, so that the affected people won't be adversely influenced. At the level of village, sufficient amount of compensation shall be provided, so as to re-allocate the lands without affecting other villagers. The amount of compensation paid

1 This is a punishing measure for the project implementation organizations, for the purpose of pushing them to help the affected people to build up their new houses in time, not just focusing on their civil engineering. This measure has been widely adopted in China's other railway projects, and the implementation organization of this project agrees to take this measure. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

to the village collective as well as the investment of these funds shall be closely watched, and it shall be assured that the loss caused by this project can be fully compensated for. In cities and towns, it is not easy to carry out the land exchange plan, and the true expectations of the affected people can't be reflected even if the land exchange plan is conducted. In this case, cash payment can be made as compensation. However, the affected farmer families must have a clear plan for utilizing this sum of money, so as to assure future income. Therefore, these farmer families shall also be closely watched. Negotiations and information release-The land law of the People's Republic of China provides articles concerning negotiations, but the articles and procedures are not so concrete as the requirements of the World Bank. Solution: the local government provides brochures of expropriation and resettlement to the affected villages. In addition, all resettlement action plans and reports shall be provided to the relevant governmental agencies. Once the final line is approved, the affected people shall be informed. Complaint procedure-The land law of the People's Republic of China provides complaint procedures, but the previous experiences indicate that the management of documents concerning complaints is not complete. Solution: the local government shall ensure that the affected people have the opportunity to appeal to the relevant agencies, and that the local officials shall be able to find solutions to the complaints and carry them out quickly. The registration and review of the complaint documents concerning the complaint procedures shall be conducted through external supervisors.

4.4 EXPROPRIATION AND RESETTLEMENT POLICY OF THE PROJECT

4.4.1 General objective and principle The policies concerning compensation and resettlement of the affected populations are developed according to the relevant laws and regulations of the People's Republic of China and the policies and requirements of the World Bank. The first objective of the resettlement action plan is to assure that the affected people can resettle and improve their standard of production and living quickly, and to minimize the negative impact on them both socially and economically. Preparation and future implementation of the resettlement action plan is right on the basis of the said objective. Special attention shall be paid to the poorest populations and weakest people that need to resettle. Additionally, the TSDI line optimization plan has included involuntary resettlement during project implementation. The expropriation and resettlement principles adopted in the project reflect the laws and regulations of the People's Republic of China as well as the relevant requirements of the World Bank. Table 4-1 includes the principles adopted in the project. The principles concerning compensation, expropriation and resettlement, and rehabilitation are very flexible, to as to contain the differences between villages (i.., land redistribution, cash payment, and income rehabilitation based on community and individuals). All these principles aim to ensure that the affected people can obtain sufficient compensation and assistance after expropriation and resettlement, so as to improve their income and standard of living. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

Table 4- 1 Resettlement principles - abstract No. I~rinci~les I The compensations and rights provided to the affected people shall be able to maintain their standard - of living in the 'project-free" state at least. All affected people (with or without rights and qualifications) shall be considered in compensation and resettlement. I Land adjustment shall be able to ensure that the affected people have the minimal farmland sufficient to keep the standard of living after resettlement. In the event that the per capita farmland is not sufficient to support their living after expropriation, cash compensation or activities bringing income shall be provided to them. 1 All affected people shall obtain information about qualifications and rights, way of compensation, 5 criteria for compensation, life and income rehabilitation plan, and project schedule, and take part in

I implementation of the resettlement action plan. Before the affected people get exchanged land or sufficient compensation, the land expropriation shall not be conducted. The execution organization and independent third party shall supervise implementation of the compensation and resettlement action plan. 8 l~heweak populations shall obtain special support and treatment so as to assure their living. I I The affected people of the resettlement action plan shall have the opportunity to benefit from the 1uroiect. I The resettlement action plan shall be combined with the overall plan of the countries / cities 1 lo districts.

4.4.2 Landadjustment Generally speaking, the land-deprived farm families will get "land for land" through land adjustment inside the villagers' commission. In the event that land adjustment can't assure that the farmer families obtain sufficient farmland, cash payment shall be made for compensation while land adjustment is made. This payment may be made to the farmer families that choose this way of compensation, and I or those farmer families that don't get sufficient land after land adjustment. The compensation rate shall be determined according to the actual situations and after negotiations between county governments, affected villages and affected people. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

4.4.3 Compensation qualifications and closing date For the lands, buildings / houses, crops, and sources of income that the affected populations and organizations (privatel; or publicly owned) lose, compensation and rehabilitation shall be made by the types and quantities of these losses. These losses include the data of impact acquired during the detailed measurement and survey by TSDI and Shi-Zheng Railway construction agency, or the goods temporarily affected during construction. Generally, the local government will issue an order prohibiting construction of any new building along the railway. However, the routing of the railway has not been determined due to some reasons. Therefore, for those cases of uncertainties 1 disputes, the date on which the detailed measurement and survey is completed can be taken as the closing date of compensation qualification. After the closing date, the farmlands, buildings, and other goods of the affected people in the project area won't be listed in the range of compensation or subsidy. Buildings, crops or trees added only for additional compensation won't be compensated for.

4.4.4 Compensation criteria On the basis of the Rules of Hebei Province for Land Administration revised in May 2005 and the Implementary Measures of Henan Province for the Land Administration Law revised in June 2005, the compensation rates this project adopts are introduced hereinafter. Refer to Table 8-1, 8-2 for different compensation rates. 4.4.4.1 Land compensation fee The land compensation fee and resettlement subsidy of permanently expropriated land shall be several times of AAOV of the expropriated farmland. Hebei Province: Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

Land compensation fee: Farmland: 6- 10 times Agricultural lands and construction lands other than farmland: 5-8 times Unused land: 3-5 times Resettlement subsidy: Farmland: 4-6 times Agricultural lands and construction lands other than farmland: 4-6 times Unused land: no resettlement subsidy. According to the relevant regulations set forth in the Rules of Hebei Province for Land Administration, resettlement subsidy shall be increased as approved by the provincial government when the original standard of living of the farmers can't be maintained after payment of land compensation fee and resettlement subsidy. However, the total sum of land administration fee and resettlement subsidy shall not exceed the following limit: Farmland: no more than 30 times of the AAOV of the expropriated farmland; Agricultural lands and construction lands other than farmland: no more than 25 times of the AAOV of the town where the expropriated land is located. Henan Province: Land compensation fee: Farmland: 6 times for the suburbs of a municipality under the provincial government, 5 times for other suburbs, mining areas and towns under a county, and 4 times for other areas. Other lands: 3 times. Resettlement subsidy: Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

The criteria for resettlement subsidy per mu of expropriated farmland is as follows: 3 times of the annual output value for per capita farmland of one mu or more, 4 times of the annual output value for per capita farmland of over 0.7mu but below one mu, 5 times of the annual output value for per capita farmland of over 0.5mu but below 0.7mu, 7 times of the annual output value for per capita farmland of over 0.3mu but below 0.5mu, and 10 times of the annual output value for per capita farmland of below 0.3mu. For expropriation of other lands, the resettlement subsidy shall be paid by 2-6 times of the annual output value of the expropriated land. In the event that the original standard of living of the farmers can't be maintained after payment of land compensation fee and resettlement subsidy, the municipal government shall submit a resettlement plan and a proposal for increase of resettlement subsidy to the provincial government for approval, so as to increase the resettlement subsidy reasonably. However, the total sum of land administration fee and resettlement subsidy shall not exceed 20 times of the AAOV of the expropriated land. 4.4.4.2 Woodland Compensation shall be made according to the value of the wood cumulation in the land. For expropriation of woodland of young woods, compensation shall be made by 50% of the value of the adult woods. For expropriation of shrub woodland and sparse woodland, compensation shall be made by 3 times of the annual output value per mu to the affected forest administration, which shall be responsible for recovery of the equal amount of woodland. 4.4.4.3 Residential land, house 1 building and their accessories Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

The compensation for loss of residential land, house / building and their accessories shall be made in full on the basis of replacement cost, without deduction of the removal cost and the remaining value of the building materials. Compensation for residential land shall be directly paid to the affected village, and on the basis of negotiation between the village commission and the affected villagers, the commission shall provide the affected farmer families with free residential land. If this approach doesn't work, the township government shall take the responsibility. For houses, other buildings, apartments, and the relevant accessories, the compensation shall be made directly to the affected people according to the replacement cost. Land transfer cost and other related costs shall be paid by the project owner if not exempted. For tenants of the affected houses, lease contracts of the same conditions shall be provided to them. They shall be informed two months in advance before they move out of the houses. 4.4.4.4 Young crop compensation Compensation for young crops of the expropriated lands in Hebei Province shall be calculated with the output value of season crops. Compensation for young crops of the expropriated lands in Henan Province shall be made to the following criteria: 60-80% of season output value of the planted young crops, and 40-60% of season output value of the non-planted young crops. 4.4.4.5 Moving and Transition Subsidy In addition to house and land compensations, relocation subsidy shall also be paid. This includes resettlement / relocation cost and house rent fee during transition period inclusive of contingency loss and expenses relating to house relocation and new house construction (relocation transit subsidy), all family articles and building materials for new house construction and old house removal, and cost of move to the Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

new house (transport subsidy). All said subsidies shall be paid to the affected farmer families at one go. In normal cases, the affected people build their houses on their own, and they may stay in their relatives' houses during construction of their new houses. In the event that they don't have free accommodation, the affected people will get rent subsidy for six months for payment of house rate to the criteria of RMB6O per month per person. In the case that an affected person doesn't resettle (in six months), the project execution organization shall double the transit subsidy for the affected person losing hisher house (RMB12O per month per person)2. In addtion, RMBYSOO for each household expended on three accesses and site leveling at centralized resettlement locations is accounted in estimation budget, and used at centralized resettlement locations under central control by local governments. 4.4.4.6 Compensation for loss of business 1 employment opportunities In the event that commerce or business along the railway to be constructed is affected, transit subsidy for move from the old place to the new place shall also be paid in addition to the house compensation. This subsidy shall be calculated on the basis of the after-tax profit for the six months before move, which is issued by the taxation bureau. 4.4.4.7 Relocation of public buildings Compensation shall be made for all affected public buildings to the owner in cash, or they shall all be re-constructed. For school buildings, new school buildings shall be established before removal of the old ones. In the event that these public buildings are to be expanded by this chance, the project organization shall require the local owner to

2 This is a punishing measure for the project implementation organizations, for the purpose of pushing them to help the affected people to build up their new houses in time, not just focusing on their civil engineering. This measure has been widely adopted in China's other railway projects, and the implementation organization of this project agrees to take this measure. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

provide the supporting funds (thus ensuring 100% of funds needed for building construction). 4.4.5 Training courses The affected people will take certain training courses in the place where the county or town is located for a period of two weeks. All participants will have subsidies for travel, food and accommodation. Also, some fund will be provided for some special training courses in the project area. These training courses may be provided after land expropriation or even after relocation. These trainings courses include those on building workers, as well as agricultural techniques or non-agricultural skills. Basically, the farmers will have fair compensation for their lost land so as to recover their incomes. However, the post-resettlement training courses may assure that some farmer families won't get into the trouble of poverty after lost of their lands. 4.4.6 Vulnerable farmer families The vulnerable groups are those populations that are in the disadvantageous positions due to some handicaps or lack of economic, political or social opportunities. The vulnerable groups are not really groups, but collections of social members similarly in the disadvantageous positions. The vulnerable groups in this project are defined as those people living a very poor life (such as poverty-stricken people, people free of land, senior citizens, women, children, people whose family member has been sick for long, people suffering from heavy burden of education, etc.) and those people that may get poor due to loss of lands / properties in the project. The vulnerable groups can be basically divided into two major types. The first is social vulnerable groups: women and poor people. The cause of this type of vulnerable groups is defects of social structure, namely, Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

problem with social system. Because of problem with the social system, some social members are short of rights and competitiveness, and get into trouble. The second is physiological vulnerable groups: the old, the weak, the sick, and the handicapped, as well as those who have no kin and can't support themselves. The direct cause of this type of vulnerable groups is related to physiological development of individual people. They are incapable due to physical or intellectual reasons. Special attention shall be paid to the vulnerable groups. In order that expropriation and resettlement don't cause inconvenience or difficulty to these vulnerable groups, a vulnerable group assistance team led by a township or village leader shall be set up in each community, to reflect their needs and provide assistance to them.

4.4.7 Fund flow and compensation selection The most basic principle is that the compensation shall be paid to organizations and individuals who directly take charge of rehabilitation of the original facilities and incomes. According to the compensation policy and times mentioned above, the Ministry of Railways will sign compensation agreement with Henan and Hebei provinces, and both provinces will assign the local land administrations 1 expropriation and resettlement offices, supporting institutions, companies, and public facilities institutions to make a detailed compensation payment plan. The compensation will be made according to (i) the said agreement, and (ii) the time set forth in the said agreement. The different forms of payment of compensation may result in great differences. In most cases, an institution dedicated to rehabilitation of public facilities will directly get the payment, just as a collective or a farmer family that suffers from property loss directly gets payment. The compensation for young crops will be directly paid to the farmers and the forest bureau that owns the woodlands. All transit and Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

relocation subsidies as well as compensation for temporary use of a land will be directly paid to the affected people. The land cultivation fee will be directly paid to the governmental agency that directly takes charge of land cultivation. The land compensation and resettlement subsidy are initially paid to the village collectives. According to the relevant laws, it is very flexible for the collectives who own the lands to use this sum of money. The collective organizations may use this sum of money in some economic activities (either agricultural or non-agricultural economic activities), or use this sum of money to improve the public facilities and infrastructures or to hold training courses, or directly pay it to the affected farmer families. According to the relevant laws, the villager representative meeting is the organization that may make the decision, which shall be approved by the township government. Payment of land compensation: in the case of land adjustment, some compensation will be paid to the collective / village commission who own the lands, and they are responsible for improving the productivity and recovering the economic level of the affected people (including those who lose their lands during land adjustment). In the case of no land adjustment or collective investment, the land compensation shall be directly paid to the farmers who lose their lands. Payment of expropriation and resettlement subsidies: these subsidies will be paid to the organization that is responsible for resettling the affected farmers, and it is usually a village commission or a collective that owns the lands. These organizations shall be responsible for providing the farmers with appropriate measures for recovering the incomes. In the event that such measures are not provided or the affected people are willing to take their own measures, the subsidies shall be directly paid to the farmer families. In this case, it is not Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

necessary to provide the strategy for recovering incomes. However, these farmer families must prove that they have got plans or measures for use of the subsidies for income recovery. In evaluation whether or not the resettlement action plan succeeds, these farmer families shall be included in the samples. The resettlement action plan especially focused on the ways the collectives that own the lands use the controllable compensations. Particularly, in each affected village, a villagers meeting shall be held to make the following decisions: whether or not to carry out land adjustment and the degree of land adjustment, and the proportion of compensations directly paid to the affected farmer families. Use of the partial compensations the collective keeps. Whether or not provide new sites for the farmers and public buildings, and the locations of the new sites. The purpose of acquisition of approval of the said plan from the county and township governments as well as internal and external supervision is to make sure that the decisions each village makes is transparent, acceptable to most people, and made directly for the

affected farmer families that lose lands and / or properties - either directly or in land re-allocation. The impacts and risks brought to the vulnerable groups must be identified and resolved. Picture 4-1 provides the simple description of the fund flow.

4.4.8 Matrix of compensation rights Table 4-2 provides the matrix of compensation rights in this project. This matrix covers applicability to various losses (like land, houses, other sources of income, temporary loss of income, as well as costs of relocation, resettlement and transport).

STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION AND CONSULTING 5.1 IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT STAKEHOLDERS Primary stakeholders refer to the people adversely affected by the project as well as pure beneficiaries of the project, including (1) people losing their lands and properties; (2) social and public bodies affected by land expropriation as well as expropriation and resettlement; (3) all villagers commissions, villagers, and the 60 towns the railway crosses; and (4) organizations and companies directly involved in railway construction and operation, such as construction contractors and passengers. Secondary stakeholders include the indirect beneficiaries of the project, such as building material suppliers, governmental agencies involved in the project, as well as participants that may get certain interest from the project or take part in some activities relating to the project. The purpose of clearly identifying these stakeholders is to assure involvement of the public in the project and conduct consulting with the affected people, particularly, the adversely affected people, thus making sure the project is successfully implemented without affecting the living of the affected people. The following paragraphs describe the jobs that have been done and are to be done for this purpose. 5.2 CONSULTING IN THE PHASE OF PROJECT PREPARATION 5.2.1 Public consulting Public consulting of this project started with the series of surveys that TSDI did in 2005. After that, TSDI conducted field investigation and initial social and economic survey. One of the purposes of field investigation is to inform the villages along the railway of construction of Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line. Another purpose is for the designers to understand the local situations and the concerns of the local farmers, including establishment of sufficient cross passageways Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

and remaining of existing irrigation systems. At that time, most affected people got certain understanding of the project. Four major consulting meetings were held in the project area. Local officials from the districts, counties and towns (including the land resource bureaus) as well as some affected people took part in the meetings. Table 5-1 shows some key consulting meetings and the discussed issues. The conclusions of these meetings and surveys deeply affect the policies set forth in the resettlement action plan. Particularly, they played a critical role in determination of the compensation ratio, as well as formulation of income rehabilitation strategy based on land re-allocation, direct payment of compensations, and life 1 training plans.

5.2.2 Analysis of the results of public consulting in the phase of preparations Below are the major aspects of public consulting in the phase of social and economic survey: (1) Understanding of and attitude towards the proposed railway During social and economic survey, only a minority of farmer families (10%) didn't know anything about Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Railway. This message was known to the public through meetings of the officials at all levels, newspapers, TV stations, as well as the field surveys of the three institutes. About 85% surveyed farmer families believe that it is necessary to build this railway. The beneficiary groups in the project area will all benefit from it. Construction of the railway will accelerate flow of people, resources and information in the area, and bring enormous social and economic interests to the area. Out of the surveyed people, only 10% worry about loss of lands and properties, and nearly 68% believe this project may result in certain adverse impact, which is very little compared with the benefits. Approximate 22% believe this project is totally helpful without any adverse impact. (2) Needed expropriation and resettlement information Expropriation of lands for construction of this project will cause some farmers to lose their farmlands, and affect their residential conditions. For this project, 3029 farmer families will be relocated, and 15087 people will move. This will certainly cause temporary difficulties in their living. The affected residents are mainly rural residents. For them, it is hard to get re-employed after loss of their lands. Improper behaviors in land expropriation, compensation for relocation and resettlement may lead to reduced level of standard of their living. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

Up to now, the information the affected people want most is the amount of compensation, and 62% farmer families list it as the message they want most. Out of the other messages, 13% farmer families want to know the time of land expropriation. In addition, 7% farmer families want to know about the time of payment of compensation, and 7% farmer families want to get information about assistance for their move. (3) Preferred measures for compensation, relocation and income rehabilitation For preferred remedies after compensation for loss of production lands andlor houses, we also conducted some survey. Table 5-3 gives the results of the survey of the farmer families. Their answers are as follows: 31% farmer families hope land compensation will be directly paid to the farmer families that lose their lands (which are under the use right contracts); 50% farmer families hope all farmer families share the loss, and the land compensation will be directly paid to the villagers commissions, which distribute the compensation to the villagers; approximately 19% people are prone to cultivate new farmlands. In the event that the compensation is directly paid to the farmer families that lose their lands / properties, most of them wish to invest the money, exclusive of some used for construction and reconstruction after relocation, in some small businesses, like retails, small shops, transport services, or improvement of agricultural production conditions. A minority of people (3%) are willing to use the money as other expenses, such as living costs before getting new jobs in the coastal areas or during technical training courses. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenaer Line bv Loan of the World Bank

During the survey, the village officials provided two answers when asked about re-allocation of the remaining lands after expropriation: re-allocation of the remaining lands, and direct payment of compensation to the farmer families that lose their lands. Compared with the farmers, the village officials are prone to re-allocation of the remaining lands. On this issue, we talked to the officials of some counties. At the meetings with them, we hope the local officials, on the basis of the previous experiences, select the strategy of the least risks and biggest opportunities. (4) Comprehensive analysis of the results of social and economic survey The results of survey indicate high support of the local people to the project. The major concerns of the villagers include: -- Fair compensation; -- Sufficient lands; -- Assistance for their living. In addition to the meetings mentioned above, a number of meetings were held between the three institutes, the local environmental protection administrations, and the local land resource administrations (Oct. 2004-Dec. 2006.) to discuss in depth how to reduce relocation from routing selection and station construction, and how to perform the resettlement action plans, including the policies and requirements of the World Bank, the needed information, the policies and action plans for expropriation and resettlement as well as income rehabilitation. The municipal governments along the line all put forward clear recommendations and requirements on routing and station construction, which the design institute has incorporated in the design. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

See 1.3.2.2 for the detailed partial design of the institute. 5.2.2 Public involvement and consulting plans in the phase of project implementation Although public consulting has been conducted for a number of times, the Ministry of Railways and the local governments both believe consulting meetings shall be held during implementation of the resettlement action plans, and that the following contents shall be included in the activities to be held: Official villagers meetings held to approve land re-allocation and payment of compensation. Detailed field surveys to measure the final data about expropriation and relocation of each affected farmer family / company, and to reach agreement. Table 5-5 includes the time schedule and contents of a consulting plan.

6. RESETTELEMENT PLAN AND REHABILITATION PLAN 6.1 BACKGROUND OF THE AFFECTED AREA According to the project management procedure of the World Bank, it is necessary to conduct effective relocation and resettlement for the project. For this reason, the major task of the background survey for relocation and resettlement of the project is to figure out the quantitative and qualitative indices of various materials of the affected people in the scope of the project, calculate the actual loss of the affected people during expropriation and relocation, conduct social and economic evaluation of the project, study the impact of the project on the regional society and economy, and provide basic data for implementation of relocation and resettlement as well as internal and external monitoring and assessment of the relocation and resettlement. The following Table 6-1 shows the background of the affected area obtained during the social and economic survey (see 3.4 Social and Economic Survey and the attachment for details). Table 6-1 Major indices obtained during the background survey of the affected area

6.2 HOUSE RELOCATION AND REHABILITATION PLAN 6.2.1 Planning and development of new sites No village needs to move as a whole. The farmer families will reconstruct their houses right in their own villages, and it is not necessary to develop new sites. Most farmer families that need relocation are independent or dispersed along the line. However, over ten farmer families need to move in some places (there is no such a case that over one hundred farmer families have to move). Massive relocation is usually due to construction of railway stations, and is not necessary in this project. All buildings planned to relocate will be "relocated in the field" according to the regulations of the World Bank. In most cases, the villages of the affected people will provide the new sites for construction of their houses. Due to routing or station construction, some villages will arrange relocation with their existing lands, and the affected people will choose "backward relocation" on their own. There

is no such a case that " the Ministry of Railways selects the relocation site". The relocation plan is based on the following three aspects: (1) The capability of the village-level communities of conducting land adjustment. The project is a linear one. Compared with other projects of the same scale, it occupies less land. If the all villagers of the affected villages share the loss of lands, the per capita loss of farmland may be very small. Therefore, it would be no problem for the local communities to adjust the lands. (2) The capability of the village-level communities of providing new residential lands. Out of the 71 villages, 3029 affected farmer families will move. On average, 43 families need new residential lands in each village. According to the overall land planning of Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

each village, they reserve residential lands (non-farming lands). The residences are distributed, and it is no problem to select the residential lands. (3) Selection of new residential lands by the affected people. Although most affected people can easily get suitable residential lands in the vicinity of their farmlands, their preference in selection of residential lands shall be extremely respected. For instance, the relocation plan for distributed or centralized residence shall be flexible. The centralized residential areas are usually designed according to the development status of the communities or cities, and more business opportunities may appear to attract more affected farmer families. In whichever case, the preference of the affected people in selection of residential lands shall be discussed at the village-level meetings. Ways of house rehabilitation The measures for expropriation and resettlement for destroyed rural and urban residences are as follows: The farmer families are resettled separately. They will construct houses for themselves. The house compensation allowances include labor and material costs. The farmer families that choose to construct houses on their own may use the allowances to increase the area or improve the fitments of the new houses. Alternatively, they may construct a house similar to their original one, and use the allowances in some other way. The sites of new houses will be determined through discussions with the villagers and villages. Selection of sites for new houses may carried out through discussions with the villagers and villages, and the villages may provide the fanner families with sites of new houses free of charge. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

Centralized resettlement is preferred in construction of new villages. Streets and stores will be constructed according to the small town development plan. There are several choices. No. 1, the local governments take care of construction of streets and supporting infrastructure facilities, while the affected people construct their houses according to the uniform plan. No. 2, the equivalent houses will be returned to the affected people. No. 3, cash compensation may be provided to the affected people instead of new house construction if they like. It shall be up to the affected people which approach shall be adopted. The principle for building relocation is construction the first and removal the second. In the case of removal the first and construction the second, rent subsidy shall be paid for the transit period. In either case, transport fee shall be paid. The expropriation and resettlement offices at the county and city level shall be responsible for review of the expropriation and resettlement plan, distribution of the expropriation and resettlement funds, as well as preparation, management and control of the expropriation and resettlement process. The expropriation and resettlement offices shall also work with the Ministry of Railways. The township expropriation and resettlement offices shall as implementation bodies of expropriation and resettlement, and will consult with the villagers and representatives from the farmer commissions, so as to establish resettlement action plans suitable for each village. The resettlement action plan of each village will be approved by the country or municipal expropriation and resettlement office, and implemented by the township expropriation and resettlement office and villagers commission. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

During relocation and relocation, the following principles shall be followed: The new sites for construction of houses must be provided to the farmer families for free, so that they don't have to pay for lands for construction of houses. The provided land area shall be equal to that of the old house. The new sites of houses will be determined between the villagers commissions and the affected farmer families through negotiations. The affected farmer families are prone to construct their new houses where convenient transport is available, namely, in the vicinity of highway or county-level roads. The villages will hlfill their needs to the max extent, and in the range of new sites available for construction of their new houses, the farmer families may select their specific sites. It takes four or five months to build a farmer house. The affected farmer families hope to build their houses on their own. They may take building materials from the old houses. However, using the building materials taken from the old houses doesn't necessarily mean the cost of these building materials shall be deducted from the house compensation. The affected people will get relocation compensation. The county-level expropriation and resettlement offices (CRO) will provide cash directly to the affected farmer families. The principle stipulates that new houses shall be built before old houses are removed. In the case of removal the first and construction the second, rent subsidy shall be paid for the transit period, so that they can rent houses. During the transit period, the farmer families may stay in their relatives' houses. In this case, the transit subsidy shall also be paid to them. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

Even though the farmer families build their new houses in the same villages, transport fee shall still be paid to them as stipulated. The transport fee shall be separately listed, or combined with other item of compensation. When the farmer families re-build their new houses, they shall pay the additional expenses if they want to increase the area or improve the quality of their houses. On the basis of their financial strength, they may make their own decision whether or not to increase the area or improve the quality of their houses. The villager commissions, the township governments, and the expropriation and resettlement offices will be responsible for house reconstruction and relocation of the affected farmer families. The governments at all levels will jointly resolve the issues that take place. Those farmer families with women playing the major role shall enjoy equal treatment in house reconstruction, opportunities and compensations. Any behavior of reducing their house areas or depriving them of their rights will be illegal. Villagers commissions, township governments, and expropriation and resettlement offices will pay special attention to the poverty-stricken farmer families, the handicapped, and the protected families, and provide assistance to them. If they can't build their houses on their own, the governments at all levels will help them with their relocation and resettlement. There are two measures: helping them build their houses, or buying houses of the same area and quality for them in the same villages. There is one possibility for relocation of urban residents, i.e., they bought commodity houses. In this case, they will get compensation of replacement cost. That is, they will be compensated at the market price Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

of local commodity houses, so that they can re-buy commodity houses. In addition, transport subsidy shall be paid to them. The second possibility for urban residents is that they bought lands on which they built their houses on their own. In this case, they will get new sites of the same area and quality as well as compensation for house construction and transport fee. Chinese farmers shall apply for building houses in the lands that belong to the villages. The application shall be approved by the villagers meeting, reviewed by the villagers commissions and township governments, and eventually submitted to the county or city government for approval. This type of lands for house construction is free, and the farmers have to pay few proceeding fees. This type of land allocation is sufficient for the farmers. The farmer families may use over 100 m2 lands to build two-four floor brick houses or concrete houses. At present, most farmers along Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line adopt new designs to build their houses. The new designs occupy less land area than the old designs (bungalows), while the area of new houses is equal to or bigger than that of the old houses. The fowls and livestocks of the relocation families won't be adversely affected by the relocation. 6.2.3 Implement new village construction through relocation In a village with over 30 families of relocation, rural reconstruction shall be accelerated through the relocation, and new village construction shall be implemented. On the basis of village and town planning, construction of rural infrastructure facilities shall be accelerated. Firstly, a scientific and rational village and town planning, construction and management system shall be established, and the planning and construction of villages and towns shall be standardized. On the Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

principles of "adjusting measures to the local conditions, giving prominence to the local features, being unprecedented to some extent, and making accomplishment at one go" and in line with the requirements of "removing and combining small villages, removing hollow villages, reducing natural villages, and constructing central villages", special forces shall be organized to plan the layout of the villages in the area, and prepare the outlines of the villages. Secondly, on the principle of "planning the first and construction the second, and no planning no approval for construction", the planning shall be strictly abided by. The approved planning shall be strictly followed to guide the villagers to do a good job in construction of houses, infrastructure facilities and public utilities, encourage the villagers to adopt a variety of construction modes, such as dispersed families moving into the villages, reconstruction of the original villages, protective reconstruction of historic villages, naturally ecological villages, and new farmer villages. Thirdly, construction of villager houses shall stick to such principles as compliance with planning, limiting to their abilities, respecting the farmers' wishes, and being stylish. Compulsory requirements shall not be applied, and it is not necessary to build all villages with one look. Total removal and complete reconstruction, which is not practical, shall not be adopted. Fourthly, village appearance shall be improved, and the environment of township bazaars shall be controlled. Great efforts shall be made to carry out the clean village program, conduct such activities as "removing waste, removing slurry, removing road barriers, improving roads, improving water pipeline, improving kitchens, improving toilets, and improving pens", beautify the environment, lead the farmers to resolve the issue that residences are mixed with fowl and livestock Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

pens, and realize the people's expectations of "flat roads, clean water, clean toilets, and clean houses". Fifthly, great efforts shall be made to complete the infrastructure facilities of villages and towns as well as their service functions. The clear village program shall be accelerated, and focus shall be on hardening of village roads. Regenerative clean energy sources as marsh gas and straw gasification shall be greatly developed in the villages, and efforts shall also be made to push the farmer families to improve their water pipeline, toilets, pens, kitchens, and baths. Promotion of three-connection marsh gas toilets: three-connection marsh gas toilets shall be connected to toilets, livestock pens, and marsh gas tanks. Excrement and urine directly enter the tanks through straight pipes without being exposed. The liquid and debris shall not be taken out of the outlet unless full fermentation. The raw materials are rationally configured, and include excrement and urine, pen straw, ground straw, vegetation, hydrophytic plants, weeds, etc. The marsh liquid and debris may be used as fertilizers. Promotion of ecological toilets with excrement and urine separately collected: this kind of toilet comprises of urine storage tank, excrement storage tank, and heat absorption plate. Adding ash after relieving is the key to management of this kind of toilet. Sufficient ash keeps the excrement dry. Before the first use of this kind of toilet, 5-10cm ash shall be added in advance. After use each time, certain amount of ash shall be added, to be more exact, three times of excrement. Excrement is kept in the tank for about 0.5-1 year. Urine shall not enter the excrement storage tank. The urine storage tank shall be away from sunlight, and closed. Urine shall be diluted with five times of water, and directly used as fertilizer. 6.2.4 Ways of compensation and transit Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

Since most building materials of the new houses are from the old houses, new houses can't be built unless the old houses are removed. According to the survey results, during the 3-5 months of transit period, the affected people have two ways to get accommodation: (1) staying in relative's houses; and (2) setting up tents on the new sites. Since most building materials of the new houses are from the old houses, transit compensation shall be paid to the affected farmer families in all counties and cities. However, if the affected farmer families don't agree with the said measure due to any reason, the project implementation organization shall agree to provide them with temporary houses for six months or longer. In this case, it is not necessary to pay transit compensation to them. The compensation will be paid to the farmer families before the old houses are removed. The supporting facilities of all houses, including rails, toilets, pens, yards, water banks, wells, cables, fruit trees, other trees, and plants, shall be all compensated for. This is to protect the interests of the relocation farmers. Special attention shall be paid to the poverty-stricken families and vulnerable groups, like families with handicapped members, with women mainly taking care of everything, and old people. In the event that they fall across any problem during transit, resettlement or reconstruction of their houses, the villagers commissions and the town governments shall provide them with assistance. Recommendations, free provision of building materials, or cash compensation may be provided to them. These measures aim to successful expropriation and resettlement of the farmer families, and better residential conditions than before. Some farmer families may accept additional compensation, which is not over the criteria for replacement cost. Most new brick houses and Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

concrete houses are built in the suburbs of cities or towns. The final result of compensation is that all relocation families successfully accept and conduct relocation.

6.3 PRODUCTION REHABILITATION If a farmer family loses a small piece of land, the village will re-allocate their lands, and the compensation for the lost land will be used to improve the productivity of the remaining land. For instance, the compensation may be used to improve the irrigation facilities. That is, through investment, the village can achieve equal or higher productivity with the fewer lands. If industrial or commercial buildings, which belong to profit-making enterprises, are removed, the compensation may be used to reconstruct their buildings, so that they can continue their operations at the same or better level. If a farmer family loses most or all land, and doesn't have new land as compensation, the compensation fee the farmer family gets may be used in small business, training or education, move to a place with land available or opportunity of employment. If suitable audit and management system is available and the requirements of Chinese laws and the World Bank are fulfilled, the compensation will be sufficient to address the needs of the affected people, and their incomes and living will be assured. The auditing and reporting procedures incorporated in the resettlement action plan can assure their incomes and living. 6.4 Resettlement of enterprises and schools The compensation and its payment schedule shall be corresponding to relocation and reconstruction of non-residential facilities. The policy for relocation of non-residential facilities is for completion of Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

relocation before confirmation of lands for railway construction. This is especially important to the affected schools. No big plant or enterprise has to relocate. Some small township enterprise, like some repair stores, small brick plants, small workshops, and small metal material processing shops, may be affected. Some belong to the local governments, some belong to villages, and some are privately owned. The affected commercial buildings, plants and enterprises for profit making purpose will be reconstructed. To them, transport fee and compensation for loss of income during relocation shall be paid, and the market price of the relocation sites shall be considered. The towns or village commissions shall be responsible for reconstruction of the affected schools after receiving the compensation. If a school needs expansion, the town government or village commission will take care of the additional cost. The compensation for relocation of these enterprises includes three parts: Compensation for factory building and other buildings; Cost of equipment transport; Compensation for loss due to shutdown. These fees are paid to the owners of the enterprises. The criteria for (1) compensation are similar to those of compensation for farmer houses. For (2) and (3) compensation, the criteria will be determined between the railway owner and the affected parties through negotiations. The towns and villages will help these enterprises reconstruct their buildings and recover their production, and guide and help them to select new sites. The township or village-level enterprises shall have new sites still in the lands of the towns and villages. The privately owned enterprises usually rent the lands from the village collectives.

6.5 RECONSTRUCTION OF INFRASTRUCTURE I PUBLIC FACILITIES The affected infrastructure facilities include water supply (including drinking water and irrigation water) facilities, power cables, telecom cables, and roads. Most infrastructure facilities are public one. Some are state owned, some by the local governments, and some by the rural collectives (like irrigation channels and township roads). There are mainly three measures for reconstruction of the infrastructure facilities affected by Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line: Some infrastructure facilities will be directly reconstructed by the construction agency during construction of the railway, for instance, the irrigation channels and village roads. The power cables and telecom cables will be reconstructed by some special organizations on the account of the Ministry of Railways. The public infrastructure facilities, like water towners and power transmission lines, will be reconstructed through compensation by the constructor to the relevant organization. The local farmers pay special attention to the adverse impact of Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line to the irrigation facilities. There are two ways out: reconstruction of the irrigation facilities by the railway construction agency, or reconstruction of them by the affected people with the compensation from the railway organization. The irrigation facilities shall be reconstructed on the following principles: Improving all functions of the irrigation facilities; All on the account of the relevant railway organization; Quick reconstruction, for the purpose that the agricultural production in the area won't be adversely affected. Which mode shall be adopted is determined between the affected party and the railway party through negotiations. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

6.6 INCOME REHABILITATION MEASURES 6.6.1 General rules The objective of income restoration is to help all people that are affected by the project and lost their livelihood (inclusive of land) improve, or at least maintain, their income and living level to that before the "project" starts. Generally speaking, there are five kinds of resettlement modes for the rural population that are affected by land expropriation. Their meanings and implementation premises are as follows: Agricultural resettlement: with the resolution reached on the villager's meeting or consent of more than 213 representatives of villagers as well as approval of the agricultural component authority of the people's government at the township level or the people's government at the county level, land reallocation is carried out within the collective economic organization of villagers. If the land reallocation lags behind, the farmer families whose lands have been expropriated shall be compensated with agricultural production value loss compensation. Resettlement by enterprises: the resettlement subsidy for land expropriation is to be managed and used by the rural collective economic organization collectively, which will be used to developlrun and establish the village enterprises. The rural people to be resettled will be employed to work for these village enterprises. The competent institutional units (enterprises) are encouraged to employ the rural people to be resettled. If the rural people to be resettled agree to work for certain institution unit (enterprise), the resettlement subsidy may be appropriated to the institutional unit (enterprise) for it to resettle the rural people to be resettled. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

3 Resettlement by cash: with the approval of the land administration department of the people's government at township level and the land administration department of the people's government at county (district) level, the resettlement subsidy will be paid to the individual to be resettled directly in line with the plan worked out by the villager's collective economic organization. These individuals will search for occupation independently and invest the resettlement subsidy to run stores, maintenance shop and handcraft workshop and grow into the craftsmen. Payment insurance: with the approval of the people to be resettled, the resettlement subsidy will be used to buy insurance for them. This kind of resettlement is adopted by families with the aged members only. C Resettlement by land reclamation: the villages with the land reserve resources may use the land compensation fee to reclaim the wasteland and hilly country by the surplus rural laborers under the premise that the ecological environment will not be damaged. The construction of Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line will make approximately 8,600 persons lose all their lands and consequently some income. According to the socio-economic investigation, more than 80% farmer families have other income sources besides agricultural income and the income from foodstuff and economic crops accounts for only 25.5% of their total income. The proportion is even smaller in respect of net income. So, land expropriation will not produce serious influence to livelihood of the people living in the project areas. It is specified for this project that the compensation will be made to the landowners directly. The compensation for crops and trees Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

(by market price) will be paid to the affected farmer families if they are damaged. The optional methods for the landowners to use the compensation are specified under the current laws and regulations. The compensation shall be favourable to the fmer families no matter it is paid to the farmer families, directly or indirectly. The following issues can be fixed through opening of the meeting of the affected people representatives (1) carry out land reallocation and make farmer families losing land gain land again and use the compensation for public interest construction of the community; or (2) pay compensation to the affected people directly; The combination of these two is applicable as well, which shall be submitted to the people's government at the township level for approval.

6.6.2 Stipulation of income restoration strategies Any income restoration strategies shall give full consideration of the preference of the affected people and the implementation methods. The income restoration strategies depend also on the distribution mode of the compensation between the community and the individual. Under such background, the socio-economic investigation (inclusive of farmer families and village head) shows option between land reallocation and cash compensation. To provide sufficient evidence for stipulation of the income restoration strategies, the major results of the site survey and opinion consultation conducted in April 2006 are as follows: More than 70% villages prefer to land reallocation, so as to make the affected people continue agricultural production; Almost all people don't agree to use the compensation by the village

collectively - which is to be further acknowledged on the villager's meeting. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

With the above-mentioned (survey) result as the foundation, the income restoration strategy will be flexible, democratic, village-specific and self-managed. The preference learned from the held meeting will be voted and supplemented by the affected villages through the appropriate official meeting. The income restoration strategy will make the majority of the affected people continue the agricultural production, even they have lost their arable land, in whole or in part. The strategies consist mainly of the following parts: Land reallocation (to be implemented with the help of the local land administration bureau) The major objective of the community to invest by the compensation is to make all people involved by the land reallocation draw benefits, affecting individual from investing by the compensation. Training Employment opportunities provided by the project-related industries.

6.6.3 INCOME RESTORATION: USE OF COMPENSATION

6.6.3.1 Community-based income restoration measures The agricultural productivity of the affected people will drop within a short period of time no matter if the land is reallocated or not. The compensation made to villages is made to mainly improve the agricultural productivity, especially the following aspects: Improve the irrigation facilities and extend them to the non-irrigation areas Create new arable lands through reclamation of wastelands at the appropriate sections Develop orchard and other economic crops Improve production of stock raising Develop processing of primary products Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

The villages are entitled to appropriate certain sum of money to social and infrastructure projects such as schools, roads and water supply network. The detailed suggestions are to be finalized by all villagers on the basis of the supplementary selection results before the compensation is distributed.

6.6.3.2 Use of compensation by individual A considerable part of the compensation paid to the affected people shall be used by them for income restoration. If so, no social problem will be produced. It is because that many people have strong initiative or desire to invest in the productive activities in the project areas. It is this kind of initiative reflects their capacities to use the compensation. As a matter of fact, the economic crops and service industries of the project areas develop rapidly in the recent years. The individuals accepting the socio-economic survey show the preference to investment in non-agriculture (Table 17), such as small-sized business. The individuals above forty years old show preference to development of agriculture, stock raising and fishery. They prefer to some exploitable land-expropriation resettlement compensation and some land compensation. Thus, they can improve new animal varieties or improve their farmland irrigation conditions. In addition, some farmer families choose to provide better education for their offspring by the compensation. These families are future-oriented and make plan for a better future of the entire family.

6.6.4 IN-PROJECT EMPLOYMENT The construction of Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line will create the temporary work opportunities. The farmers may seize hold of these opportunities to gain additional income by cash. It is helphl to restore Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

the livelihood. The majority of building workers shall be employed from the local villages. The affected poverty people enjoy the priority to work for construction of Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line. The expropriation and resettlement office at the county, city and township level will execute these measures with the project construction team andlor the subcontracting project team jointly.

6.7 TRAINING PLAN To meet the major task of the affected communities and individuals of income restoration, a series of training shall be performed. These plans with the separate estimate funds consist of the items listed below. The responsible persons of all villages involved in land expropriation for this project as well as one representative of the affected farmer families are entitled to join one or two training courses organized by the county and they are responsible for experiment and promotion of these items to their villagers. Stock raising and breedinglfishery; Planting of economic crops; Training plan of woman's embroidering and weaving skill; Maintenance skills of motorcycle, auto, tractors and agricultural tools; Marketing of products. The training will be performed on site or within the training center of the concerned countylcity. The training fees will be paid directly to the trainer agencies such as agriculture promotion department, exclusive technology training department and NGO from the contingency. The trainees that accepting the training at the places that are far away from their own villages will be paid with allowances. A half of the trainees shall be woman. It is planned that the training will start from the Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

beginning of 2007. It is aimed to make the affected learns and masters at least one useful technology. Please refer to Table 6-3 for training plan of the affected farmer families.

6.8 GENDER ISSUE The rights and interests of Chinese women are protected by the Law of the People's Republic of China on Women and Children. In China, women enjoy the same rights to men no matter they are living in rural areas or the cities. No people will look down upon them and they will not be deprived of their deserved rights. China Women's Federation maintains branches on all townships and the majority of villages. The major aim is to reduce possible discrimination to women. The women in the project area play an important role for the economic activities and take charge of the household affairs as well. Women enjoy the equal rights to gain information, compensation, training and help. The detailed support measures are as follows: (1) With "Women qualification project" as carrier, intensify the technological training intensity for the rural women at the juncture of the industrial structure adjusutment; (2) Implement "Women poverty alleviation project" and help the women living at the poverty-stricken areas get rich; (3) Actively help the organizer do a good job of training and recommendation of women cadres; (4) Launch publicity and education activities about the Law of the People's Republic of China on Marriage and the Law of the People's Republic of China on Guarantee of Women's Rights and Interests; (5) Actively push forward "Circulating Fund" and small-amount credit loan poverty alleviation project of the Women's Federation; (6) Implement "Women Health Project" in an all-round way and better the health conditions of women. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank -

6.9 VULNERABLE FARMER FAMILIES The vulnerable farmer families can be divided into the following two major groups: low-income farmer families (8%) before construction of the railway and farmer families (1-3%) that have lost the majority of land and have not the labor force or exclusive technologies to resettle themselves. The training plan is helpful to the members of the vulnerable fmer families. The strong members of the vulnerable farmer families enjoy the priority to gain opportunities to work for construction of the railway. Additionally, some vulnerable groups (such as orphan, widow, families enjoying "five guarantees", minorities, families that are poverty-stricken due to diseases, families that are poverty-stricken due to children's education, disabled and psychopath), the local people's government and the headquarters of Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line will pay the total land compensation and resettlement subsidy to the concerned parties. Other poverty alleviation and preferential treatment will be provided for other vulnerable groups: (1) If they are the relocated families, they enjoy the priority to choose the subsistence homestead in advance; if they are affected by the land expropriation, they enjoy the priority upon land reallocation; (2) The skill training will be provided those women who are the householders of their families. The small-amount credit will be provided for them. (3) The farmer families that are poverty-stricken due to children's education will be provided with the education loan or donation. For example, the loan limit for the primary school student is RMB 500 yuan and that of the middle school student is RMB 1,000 yuan. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

One family is entitled to apply for loan for two students and the loan limit shall be within RMB 1,500-3,000 yuan. (4) The farmer families that are poverty-stricken due to diseases will be provided with the one-off subsidy. The amount of subsidy for each family is to be approved on the villager's meeting, which will be submitted to the resettlement office at the township level and county level for approval. The range of the subsidy is between RMB 1,000-10,000 yuan. (5) The endowment insurance or the lowest living guarantee will be provided for the orphan, widow and the aged.

6.10 ENVIRONMENT GOVERNANCE The local power organ implementing the expropriation and resettlement is entitled to take charge of the environment governance should the environment issues take place in the course of expropriation and resettlement. The local power organ is established with the environment governance departments. Any and all environment issues met in the course of expropriation and resettlement shall be submitted to the environment governance department for settlement. Please refer to 2.1.3 for environmental impact and environment governance of the project. The environment impact assessement report of the project describes in details the environment issues, resettlement measures and the management mechanism of the project. 6.11 RATIONAL ANALYSIS OF RECOVERY MEASURES The project construction only brings impact on small part of houses and lands in valliges along the railway line, does not greatly impact original rural production and living system. Emigrant relocation plan is discussed in symposia form in affected towns ahd valliges. Accoding Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

to emigrant opinion and practical situations in affected areas, the following has been determined: Project-affected emigrants will be all resettled in the original communities, so as to maintain original emigrant production and living ways, customs and social relation stabilization and to facilitate emigrants to resume or improve their production and living levels after resettlement. In order to reduce impact of project construction on production and living of affected households, all project-affected houses will not be demolished till new houses are completed. Rural households to be expopriated are all relocated in their original vallige. In terms of production and development, land allocation is primary, second and tertiary industry development is secondary. After economic compensation is transferred to valliges, according to valligers' intention, land shall be adjusted within their villages (resident administration committees) or their groups for land and farming arrangement. For valliges and groups which are greatly impacted by expropriation, according to local related policy, basic living provision system for expropriated farmers shall be established. With the said measures, emigrants' production and living levels can be recovered, improved and increased, so as to realize lasting social stabilization, therefore, preliminary recovery measures plan shall be feasible.

8.3 Cost Accounting of House and Attachment Replacement During the field surveys, the replacement cost for houses and attachment had been widely discussed with local farmers and resettlement officials. The obtained replacement costs for major items are listed as follows: (1) Brick-concrete houseshuildings: Including the costs for site levelling, road/water/electricity preparation, construction materials, transportation cost, labour service, food preparation, a new concrete househuilding will be completed at the replacement cost for concrete structure houseshuildings is 29 1 yuadm2. (2) Brick-wood houseshuildings: Including the costs for site levelling, road/water/electricity preparation, construction materials, transportation cost, labour service, food preparation, a new concrete househuilding will be completed at 2532 yuanIm2. (3) Earth-wood houseshuildings: Including the costs for site levelling, road/waterlelectricity preparation, construction materials, transportation cost, labour service, food preparation, a new concrete househuilding will be completed at 175 yuan/rn2. (4) Tombs (3001sq.m.): This is an average cost of both tombs with single or double coffin pit(s). Currently the tomb is built in bricklconcrete structure, and the costs for single- and double-coffin-pit tombs are 250 Yuanltomb and 350 Yudtomb, assuming these two styles of tombs to be relocated are in equal amount, obtained 300 Yuanltomb.

8.4 Expropriation Compensation Standard Analysis and Accounting

For different types of land, compensation standards (refer to able 22) are calculated as follows: (1) For irrigated land & vegetable land Compensation price for irrigated land is used. Autumn grain crops: Corn 425 kglmou *RMBYl.2/kg= RMB Y510 Imou Summer grain crops: Wheat 400 kglmou * RMB Y 1.3 /kg= RMB Y 520Imou Annual produce value: RMB Y 1,030 Imou Total compensation=Expropriation compensation+ resettlement

compensation : RMB Y 1030 /mou*30 = RMB Y30,900/mou (2) Garden plot Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

Based on compensation price for irrigated land, standard is consistent Annual produce value: RMB Y 1,030 Imou Total compensation=Expropriation compensation+ resettlement

compensation : RMB Y 1,03O/mou * 16= RMB Y 16,480lmou (3) For other general farmland Autumn grain crops (mainly corn) : 3 95kglmou* RMB Y 1.2 /kg= RMB Y474lmou Summer grain crops (mainly wheat): : 180kgI mou* RMBY 1.3/kg= RMB Y234lmou Annual produce value: RMB Y708Imou Total compensation=Expropriation compensation+ resettlement

compensation : RMB Y 708/mou* 16= RMB Y 11,328lmou (4) For house sites & other lands: RMB Y 1 1328lmou Compensation price used is same for general farmland, which does not means any house sites (such as wasteland) are worth such price, but it should be considered that in case an LAR household wants to acquire a house site in other's farmland, he can easily replace or buy it with enough money. Since quantity of expropriated house sites in the project is not large, the project executing agency has agreed such arrangement. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenaer Line bv Loan of the World Bank

8.5 Specified Items Training plan for severely affected households: Training program cost is determined as follows: For households whether directly affected by expropriation or indirectly affected in land re-adjustment, two persons from each household will be trained and certain outlay (0.1 % planned resettlement estimate) will be arranged for them and paid timely. Additional Assistance for Vulnerable Groups. No fixed compensation rates have been set for vulnerable households although provision has been made for increased multipliers to be used for these households by the inclusion of an additional cost item. The plight of the, relatively few, extremely poor APs is recognised by the local resettlement offices, and township and village leaders who will take responsibility for ensuring that these households are properly identified and that appropriate compensation and supportive measures are determined in a pragmatic way on a case by case basis. Management Fee. Many project resulted in failure due to the unclear statement of the management costs. In order to avoid the occurrence of this kind of situation, the management costs shall be earmarked. The breakdown items are also as shown in Table 20 and 21. During further planning process, the purpose for using the fees will be clarified. External Monitoring and Evaluation expenses: As the external monitor will conduct the external monitoring and evaluation both for RP implementation and social/poverty activities, the timely disbursement of the expenses earmarked for external monitor (0.2% of total basic cost for land acquisition and resettlement) is a critical point for the smooth implementation of the RP.

9. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE LAR implementation progress schedule for time-limited Shizheng SPRL project is listed in Table 9-1, where milestone factors, such as project approval, World Bank procedure, project construction design completion and commencement at early 2007 have been considered. Main purpose to define explicitly such schedule is to guarantee timely compensation payment to LAR households, in order for them to build up new houses 3-5 months before original houses are demolished. The programme also makes provision for a series of activities before construction to ensure AP participation and consultation, namely: The distribution of the resettlement handbook; The publicisation, via leaflets, of the detailed timetable for resettlement and land acquisition activities; The DMS provides an opportunity for negotiation between APs and the resettlement officers in terms of detailed acquisition boundaries and the type and measurement of structures and land parcels; The holding of village meetings to decide upon the location of new house sites, compensation arrangements and income restoration measures. These meetings will also be used to discuss and resolve farmers' concerns relating to design details such as the location of bridges and culverts. The timing of these activities is such as to allow the executing agency time to respond to practical and useful suggestions made by APs and to respond to, and resolve, grievances. The baseline socio-economic survey will be undertaken as soon as possible after the completion of the Detailed Measurement Survey (DMS) using the census of APs as the sampling base. The first monitoring survey will be carried out some 6 months later and should be timed to take place when the Row has been cleared.

10. MONITORING, EVALUATION AND REPORTING SYSTEM In order to ensure that the implementation of the land acquisition and resettlement plan is in accordance with requirements, monitoring of implementation, both "internal" and "external", will be carried out during and after the implementation of the Project. The "internal" and "external" elements will be combined to provide an assessment of both the process of RP implementation (eg. disbursement of funds, settlement of grievances, progress on house relocation and land redistribution and the extent to which the primary objective of the RP, i.e. the maintenance or enhancement of the current social and economic conditions of all APs, are achieved in the years following the acquisition of their land or property. 10.1 INTERNAL MONITORING 10.1.1 Purposes and Tasks The purpose of internal monitoring is to guarantee LAR organizations at different levels maintain good function during the RAP implementation, and to make sure that legal rights and interests of affected persons are not impaired and project can be constructed smoothly. Auditing agencies at different levels will audit and supervise independently related units in their own jurisdictions according to laws and regulations. Simultaneously, in order to guarantee all LAR organizations observe RAP principles and timetable, all responsible agencies shall monitor their affiliate organs in term of RAP work. 10.1.2 Organizations and Personnel Internal monitoring of project LAR work is presided by Shiwu SPRL LAR leader teams of State Land and resource Bureaux of Hebei and Henan Provinces and executed by CROs(command headquarters) and villages. In order to execute internal monitoring function effectively, special persons are appointed in RAP organization at different levels, Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

who have already participated in preparation and implementation of RAP and will internally monitor and control RAP execution and practice. 10.1.3 Monitored Contents Emigrant compensation payment and application; New house sites selection and allocation; Private house reconstruction; Support to vulnerable group; Employment arrangement of affected labourers; Quality and quantity of newly reclaimed land; Land adjustment and allocation; Payment of land grant in aid; Resettlement of enterprises and business households; Special facility recovery; Schedule of said activities; Execution situation of RAP policy and regulations; Emigrant participation and negotiation during implementation; Staffing, training, work timetable and operating condition of LAR organization at different levels. 10.1.4 Implementation Procedure A. Shiwu SPRL LAR leader teams of State Land and resource Bureaux of Hebei and Henan Provinces will promote internal monitoring operation mechanism to check LAR activities, to build up LAR basic database and to monitor the whole process of LAR preparation and implementation. B. During implementation, RAP organizations at different levels shall build up corresponding RAP information depositories and update them according to practical implementation progress, transfer current activity records and implementation progress to RAP Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

organization at higher level, so as to monitor RAP implementation continuously. C. In the said monitoring operation mechanism, information form in specified format will be drawn up, so as to realize continuous information flow from village level to project emigrant relocation office. CROs (Command headquarters) and township (town, street) relocation work groups are important part of internal monitoring system, and will make regular inspection and verification.

10.2 EXTERNAL MONITORING AND EVALUATION

10.2.1 Purposes and Tasks External monitoring evaluation mainly means that external monitoring agency monitors and evaluates LAR activities regularly to evaluate whether LAR objectives are realized. External monitoring evaluation will provide comments and proposals on whole LAR process and emigrant production and living level recovery conditions, provide early warning system for project administration departments and provide emigrant comment feedback channel. The external monitoring agency will act as advisor of MOR LAR coordination group and Shiwu SPRL LAR Leader teams of State Land and resource Bureaux of Hebei and Henan Provinces, track, monitor and evaluate RAP implementation activities, and put forward advisory comments on decision making.

10.2.2 METHODOLOGY AND CONTENT The general methodology will involve a mix of one-on-one questionnaires administered to households, and participatory rapid appraisal techniques (PRA) repeated on a six-monthly or yearly basis during the resettlement and construction activities associated with the project. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

The household surveys will concentrate on the changes in economic activity, incomes and other social conditions of individual households. Key indicators will include: household composition, ethnicity, education and skill levels, experience in positions of influence, pre-acquisition rights over land, size and condition of house, accumulated assets, annual income, relative mix of productive activities, marketing channels, access to utilities and services (including social services and irrigation systems), and nature and frequency of major social and cultural activities. This survey will provide a series of socio-economic indicators which can subsequently be monitored in order to evaluate the success of the resettlement and income restoration process. Refer to Table 10-1 for major monitored indicators. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

In addition, the baseline survey, undertaken as soon as possible after the DMS will ask questions on: Household plans to do when confronted with the impending loss of land andlor housing, The extent and effectiveness of the dissemination of information on compensation standards and options, acquisition processes and restitution measures. The baseline survey will also ask an open-ended question about the farmers' anticipations and apprehensions regarding the impending land acquisition and resettlement process. The baseline survey should give the complete socioeconomic profile of the sampled APs with gender-disaggregated data and details of losses. The PRA surveys will be conducted at the village level and will include similar indicators to those described above but focussing on the village as a whole. The objective is to provide a wider assessment of the effectiveness of the resettlement process than is possible from the surveys of individual households. These surveys will involve focus group discussions and key informant interviews. Experience shows that these surveys can provide a greater understanding of changes in socio-economic conditions than can be obtained from household interviews. In contrast, the household interviews are more suitable for providing a set of quantifiable indicators which can be compared over time. Subsequent surveys will use the same format but with greater emphasis given to the changes that have occurred since the baseline survey was undertaken, the actual timing of compensation related activities (signature of contracts, disbursement of funds, identification of new housing sites, construction of new buildings, effectiveness of grievance procedures, and on general levels of satisfaction/ dissatisfaction with Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

the resettlement process. Both household and PRA surveys will be designed to distinguish between changes that are attributable to involuntary resettlement and loss of land and those that result from external factors, e.g. a slump in vegetable prices, the opening of a new factory, etc. The surveys will be completed by interviews with owners or directors of the non-residential establishments affected, eg. schools, enterprises. Sampling In accordance with requirement by World Bank, initial monitoring and evaluation investigation baseline shall cover more than 10% affected population. After detail questionnaire is started, affected persons , their personal loss and village administration committees can be determined accurately. In current phase, it is estimated 6,696 households or so are to be affected, so total sampling size shall be more than 670 households. A two-stage stratified random sample should be used. The first stage sampling will involve the selection of 71 of the affected villages. The initial selection of villages should involve those losing which will be most affected by land and property losses. This selection can be modified if it is considered that it omits any villages with particular characteristics that are significantly different from those originally selected: e.g. poor people, non-agricultural activity. Around 10 households should be sampled in each selected village. The sample will be chosen randomly from the schedule of affected households obtained during the DMS. In order to improve comparability, households selected for the baseline survey will be interviewed in all subsequent surveys. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

10.2.4 SURVEY TIMING Table 23 provides an indicative schedule of the external M&E surveys to be undertaken. The schedule has been designed to provide, as required, six investigations throughout the implementation of the project (one baseline survey, two yearly evaluation surveys, two semi-annual monitoring surveys and a post-construction evaluation survey). The household surveys would be repeated every year starting with the baseline survey implemented as soon as possible after the DMS. The PRA-type surveys would be repeated every 6 months within two year after the start of the land acquisition and resettlement. All selected villages would be visited at this time and annually when the household surveys are being carried out. The baseline survey will establish the pre-resettlement socio-economic conditions of APs and the affected villages against which subsequent changes can be evaluated. The monitoring survey during the land acquisition and resettlement implementation will concentrate on the extent to which the procedures laid down in the RP have been followed, the effectiveness of these processes and the level of satisfaction/ dissatisfaction of APs with these processes. Subsequent, yearly evaluation surveys will provide a quantification of the changes in the social and economic conditions of APs together with a more qualitative assessment of these changes and the reasons for them. Subsequent monitoring, survey will provide interim assessments of the changes talung place in the villages most affected by loss of land andlor property. Village level indicators will be collected but the emphasis will be on qualitative information. Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

The final post railway construction survey should take place approximately one year after the construction is completed. Its main objective is to assess whether the objectives of the RP were achieved, i.e. whether the restoration of income and welfare has been efficiently and adequately restored, and whether the land acquisition and resettlement process has been effective. This survey will also probe sample households and key informants on how the whole process might be better done next time. 10.2.5 SCHEDULE OF THE INDEPENDENT MONITORING ORGANIZATION An institute or organisation totally independent of the both parties of EA, and independent of the local governments along the alignment, to be contracted as the lead agency to carry out the external monitoring and evaluation work under this RP. A preferred candidate for this task is the Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJU) in Chengdu which already has experience in monitoring work for international agencies. The SWJU would be the lead agency in conducting M&E however they should be supported by the Third Railway Survey & Design Institute in the field. The Third Railway Survey & Design Institute is familiar with the total length of the alignment and has already been involved with field surveys in many of the villages affected by the railway. The Third Railway Survey & Design Institute can also serve as a conduit to ensure full co-operation of relevant local government agencies in the conduct of the surveys. Prior to their participation, both SWJU and TSDI must obtain the requisite authority and permissions required by government regulations that permitting them to undertake fieldwork of this type. 10.3 REPORTING AND DISTRIBUTION 10.3.1 Internal Monitoring Report System and Delivery Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

Village and township level reports will be prepared on a monthly basis so that prompt action can be taken, if necessary, by higher-level officials without adversely affecting the resettlement execution. County resettlement officer shall quarterly report to internal monitoring group of provincial resettlement office under Shizheng SPRL Corp, and the group shall then report to Shizheng SPRL Corp. Copies of these reports will be submitted to the World Bank. These reports should include: name of reporting agency, date of reporting, details on the implementation of the resettlement programs scheduled for that year, reasons for any delays, problems encountered, corrective actions and their results, and problems that need to be resolved at a higher level. In addition to the above arrangements, the traditional financial watchdog - the Audit Bureau - will at each level of Government be monitoring and auditing the fund use in the compensation program. 10.3.2 External Monitoring Report System and Delivery Monitoring evaluation reports documented by external independent monitoring agency shall be presented annually to MOR, Hebei and Henan Provincial governments, county governments, township govemments and World Bank, where reports submitted to World Bank must be written in English. The baseline survey should be reported in full. Subsequent reports should provide summaries of principal findings, tabulations of key indicators, qualitative and quantitative descriptions of main changes in socio- economic changes of APs and affected villages and conclusions and implications, if any, for additional action, assistance. The report on the post-construction survey will constitute a final assessment report on the resettlement process and detail the extent to which the compensation paid and other measures have enabled APs to Relocation Resettlement Action Plan of the Newly Built Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line by Loan of the World Bank

maintain or enhance their pre-project social and economic living conditions.
