The sample selection was based on a systematic random sampling technique. The used formula is (X = N/5), X is the number of selected samples (50 AHs); N is the total number of AH list (250 HH) and 5 is the interval between the household selected.

7. The Project primarily involves rehabilitation of the existing railway networks consisting of (i) 338 km section of the Northern Line linking Phnom Penh with Sisophon; (ii) 264 km of the Southern Line linking Phnom Penh with the port city of , and (iii) a 6-km branch line from Phnom Penh station to the petroleum depot facilities at Ton Le Sap River. The project works also include reconstruction of another 48 km of the Northern Line – called the “missing line” – from Sisophon to Thai/Cambodia border at Poipet, which was removed during the civil war of 1970s. The reconstructed line will re- establish the railway connection with .

B. Project Impacts

8. During the PPTA period, it was estimated that about 2,629 Households (AHs) will be affected by the railway rehabilitation project. In addition to the above number of affected households, there are also bamboo rail transport operators that will lose their source of livelihood once the railway lines are rehabilitated; 189 operators are currently operating along the whole line.

9. A survey team was mobilized by the ADB and IRC to survey and consult affected households and prepare Addendum to the approved RP 2006. The survey team in March and June 2007 located as result in table 1. In among of 1,418 AHs in Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Pursat and Sihanoukville who needed relocation. 822 of them were in the master list of AHs of the approved 2006 RP which covers ten provinces and cities; the other 615 were newly identified AH1 but have been ascertained to be living in the COI even before the conduct of the IOL 2006.
