i Wuwei Subproject of the World Bank-financed Gansu Rural-Urban Integration Infrastructure Project Foreword I. Purpose of preparing this RAP 1 The RAP is prepared in accordance with the applicable laws of the People’s Republic of China and local regulations and a series of provisions in the Bank Operational Policy OP4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement for the purpose of “developing an action plan for resettlement and restoration for the people affected by the project, so that they benefit from the project, their standard of living is improved or at least restored after the completion of the project”.
II. Definition of Displaced Persons Displaced persons 2 Based on the criteria for eligibility for compensation, “Displaced Persons” may be classified in one of the following three groups: a) those who have formal legal rights to land (including customary and traditional rights recognized under the laws of the country); b) those who do not have formal legal rights to land at the time the census begins but have a claim to such land or assets-provided that such claims are recognized under the laws of the country or become recognized through a process identified in the RAP; and c) those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying. 3 Persons covered under paragraphs 2(a) and (b) are provided compensation for the land they lose, and other assistance. Persons covered under paragraph 2(c) are provided resettlement assistance in lieu of compensation for the land they occupy, and other assistance, as necessary, to achieve the objective set out in this policy, if they occupy the subproject areas prior to a cut-off date① established by the borrower and acceptable to the World Bank. Persons who encroach on the area after the cut-off date are not entitled to compensation or any other form of resettlement assistance. All persons included in paragraph 2(a), (b), or (c) are provided compensation for loss of assets other than land.
III. Compensation and resettlement measures 4 To address the following impacts of the involuntary taking of land: (i) displacement or loss of shelter; (ii) lost of assets or access to assets; or (iii) loss of income sources or means of livelihood, whether or not the affected persons must move to another location, an RAP or a resettlement policy framework shall be prepared to cover the following: (a) The Resettlement Action Plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are: informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement; consulted on, offered choices among, and provided with technically and economically feasible resettlement alternatives; and provided prompt and effective compensation at full replacement cost②, for losses of assets attributable directly to the project. (b) If the impacts include physical displacement, the RAP or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are: provided assistance (such as moving allowances) during displacement; and
① Normally, this cut-off date is the date the census begins. The cut-off date could also be the date the subproject areas was delineated, prior to the census, provided that there has been an effective public dissemination of information on the area delineated, and systematic and continuous dissemination subsequent to the delineation to prevent further population influx. ② "Replacement cost" is the method of valuation of assets that helps determine the amount sufficient to replace lost assets and cover transaction costs. In applying this method of valuation, depreciation of structures and assets should not be taken into account. i Wuwei Subproject of the World Bank-financed Gansu Rural-Urban Integration Infrastructure Project
provided with residential housing, or housing sites, or, as required, agricultural sites for which a combination of productive potential, locational advantages, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the old site. (c) Where necessary to achieve the objective of the policy, the Resettlement Action Plan or resettlement policy framework also includes measures to ensure that displaced persons are: offered support after displacement, for a transition period, based on a reasonable estimate of the time likely to be needed to restore their livelihood and standards of living; provided with development assistance in addition to compensation measures described in paragraph 4(a)(iii), such as land preparation, credit facilities, training, or job opportunities. 5 Cut-off date: means the date of publication of the announcement of land acquisition and property demolition in this project. After this date, the displaced persons shall not build, rebuild or expand their properties; shall not change the uses of their properties and land; shall not lease their land, lease, sell or purchase their properties; and any person that moves in after this date shall not qualify as a displaced person.

1.3 Progress of Project Preparation and Resettlement In May 2013, a Bank mission identified the Subproject. Subsequently, the Subproject Leading Group and PMO (Wuwei PMO) appointed the design agency to prepare the pre-feasibility study report, which was submitted to the Gansu Provincial Development and Reform COmission, and the Bank for review in July 2013. In August 2013, the preparation of the RAP, environmental impact assessment report and environmental management plan begun. With the careful planning of the Wuwei PMO and the joint effort of the agencies concerned, the preparatory work of the Subproject progresses smoothly. The National Research Center for Resettlement at Hohai University (NRCR) was appointed by the Wuwei PMO to participate in the preparation of the RAP as the consulting agency. From late July to early August 2013, the RAP preparation team conducted a socioeconomic survey in the subproject area, and conducted extensive public consultation with the APs. The RAP was completed and submitted to the Bank for review in September 2013, and was revised in December 2013. According to the Bank policy on involuntary resettlement (OP4.12), the cut-off date for the identification of APs and the determination of affected physical quantities of the Subproject is the date on which the LA announcement was published (to be disclosed to the APs). Anyone who moves in after this date will not qualify as an AP, and the APs should not build, rebuild or expand their houses, should not change the uses of their properties and land, and should not lease their land, lease, sell or purchase their houses. Any variation in physical quantity arising from any of the above acts will not be recognized.
1.4 Measures to Reduce Resettlement At the planning and design stages, the design agency and owner of the Subproject took the following effective measures to reduce the local socioeconomic impacts of the Subproject: At the planning stage, the local socioeconomic impacts of the Subproject were taken as a key factor for option optimization and comparison. The design was optimized to reduce the amount of HD and resettlement; original road boundaries are largely kept unchanged to minimize LA and HD. The design was optimized to occupy wasteland and state-owned land where possible. At the RAP preparation and implementation stage, when LA or HD is unavoidable, the following measures will be taken to reduce the local impacts of the Subproject: Strengthen the collection of basic information, make an in-depth analysis of the local present socioeconomic situation and future prospect, and develop a feasible RAP based on the local practical conditions to ensure that the APs will not suffer losses due to the Subproject. Encourage public participation actively and accept public supervision. Strengthen internal and external monitoring, establish an efficient and unobstructed feedback mechanism and channel, and shorten the information processing cycle to ensure that issues arising from project implementation are solved timely. In order to minimize the Subproject’s resettlement impacts, NRCR, Wuwei PMO and Gansu Kedi Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd. visited the proposed sites, identified the LA and HD impacts of different options, estimated resettlement funds, and determined the preferred options through adequate discussion.

1.5 Identification of Related Projects Related project refers to a project that is directly associated with the Subproject in function or benefit, namely an extended project constructed using funds other than Bank lending during the preparation and implementation of the Subproject. At the design stage, the owner attached great importance to the identification of related projects. The Wuwei PMO, implementing agencies (IAs) and design agency conducted a correlation analysis on all components. It has been found that the Jinse Avenue connecting line subcomponent in the Subproject has a related project, namely Jinse Avenue. The LA, HD and resettlement work of this component had been completed before the identification of the Subproject. Refer to Appendix 1.

2. Impacts of the Subproject 2.1 Project Impact Survey The detailed measurement survey (DMS) aims to provide reference data for subproject design optimization and a basis for the preparation of the RAP by collecting all-round information on the affected population, LA and HD impacts, and social and economic development. During the DMS and socioeconomic survey, a survey team composed of staff members form NRCR (resettlement consulting agency), Gansu Kedi Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd. (feasibility study report preparation agency), Lanzhou University (environmental impact assessment agency), and the affected township governments and village committees.

2.3.7 Affected Vulnerable Groups For the purpose of the Subproject, vulnerable groups include the poor, MLS households, five-guarantee households, orphans, the disabled, subjects of special support and women-headed households mainly, which are identified as follows: 1. MLS households refer to rural households with per capita annual income of less than 1,907 yuan and urban households with per capita monthly income of less than 304 yuan, and entitled to MLS subsidies from the government. 2. Subjects of five-guarantee refer to elderly, disabled and underage persons without the ability to work, without income source or without statutory supporter, or whose statutory supporter has no ability of support. 3. According to the Law of the PRC on the Protection of Disabled Persons, the disabled refer to wholly or partially mentally or physically disabled persons. 4. Women-headed households refer to households headed by women. Based on the preliminary survey at the preparation stage, 8 households with 20 persons affected by the Subproject fall into vulnerable groups, and vulnerable population accounts for 0.4% of the population affected permanently by the Subproject. See Table 2-13. Table 2- 13 Summary of Affected Vulnerable Groups

The LA and HD activities of the Subproject may expose the above vulnerable groups’ livelihoods to greater risks. First, LA may destabilize their income sources, and deprive them of skills and conditions for nonagricultural employment, so that they may be faced with more difficulties in future livelihood restoration. Second, during resettlement for HD, they may be unable to afford to build or buy bigger houses due to smaller former housing sizes and lower income levels. Based on public consultation, these vulnerable groups expect that the government address their special difficulties during LA and HD, and provide some extra subsidies where policies permit. During skills training, employment, endowment insurance, medical care, and housing site and resettlement housing selection, the Liangzhou District and Gulang County PMOs will grant priority to them. The procedure for the identification of vulnerable groups is as follows: 1. APs file applications themselves or village committees propose lists, and provide relevant evidence, such as certificates of MLS, disability and income, and household register; 2. Township governments review such lists, and disclose them in townships and villages for not less than 10 days. Lists without objection are submitted to the Liangzhou District and Gulang County PMOs, and lists with objection are reviewed again; 3. The PMOs finally review the lists submitted by the township governments to finally identify the vulnerable groups in the affected population.

2.3.8 Affected Ethnic Minorities There are 37 ethnic minorities in the project area, including Hui, Salar, Dongxiang, Bao’an, Tibetan and Mongolian, with 301 households with 1,463 persons in total, accounting for 0.45% of the affected population. The main ethnic minorities are Hui and Tibetan, and there are 334 Hui people and 397 Tibetans, accounting for 22.83% and 27.14% of local minority population respectively. See the Social Assessment Report. The ethnic minorities have lived together with Han people for a long time, and are no longer engaged in farming mainly. Their income sources are the same as those of Han people, and they share local natural resources and public facilities with Han people. No unique habitat or ancestral estate that belongs to them is found in the subproject area. The ethnic minorities enjoy the same rights as Han people, and even some preferential policies over Han people. No traditional cultural, economic, social or political institution different from that of mainstream society is found. Most of the ethnic minorities use the same language as Han people. No minority habitat is affected by the Subproject, and the ethnic minorities in the subproject area live in a scattered manner and have entered the subproject area by marriage, employment or business. They show nothing special in production, lifestyle and residence. Therefore, the Subproject will not have any special negative impact on the minority population. 2.3.9 Affected Infrastructure and Attachments The infrastructure and ground attachments affected by the Subproject mainly include power facilities, telecom facilities, U-shaped culverts, inspection shafts, water cellars, pumped/large wells, nurseries, timber forests, fruit trees, greenhouses, livestock farms, threshing grounds, tombs, terraces, enclosing walls, gatehouses, etc. See Table 2-14.

4.2 Key Provisions of the project policies 4.2.1 Bank Policy on Involuntary Resettlement The Bank’s policy on involuntary resettlement has been described clearly in OP4.12 as follows: Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring all viable alternative project designs; Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs, providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits. Displaced persons should be meaningfully consulted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs; Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher. Required measures:
34 Wuwei Subproject of the World Bank-financed Gansu Rural-Urban Integration Infrastructure Project
The resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement; consulted on, offered choices among, and provided with technically and economically feasible resettlement alternatives; and provided prompt and effective compensation at full replacement cost for losses of assets attributable directly to the project. If the impacts include physical relocation, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are provided assistance (such as moving allowances) during relocation; and provided with residential housing, or housing sites, or, as required, agricultural sites for which a combination of productive potential, locational advantages, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the old site. Where necessary to achieve the objectives of the policy, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework also include measures to ensure that displaced persons are offered support after displacement, for a transition period, based on a reasonable estimate of the time likely to be needed to restore their livelihood and standards of living; and provided with development assistance in addition to compensation measures, such as land preparation, credit facilities, training, or job opportunities. Particular attention is paid to the needs of vulnerable groups among those displaced, especially those below the poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and children, ethnic minorities, or other displaced persons who may not be protected through national land compensation legislation. Preference should be given to land-based resettlement strategies for displaced persons whose livelihoods are land-based. These strategies may include resettlement on public land, or on private land acquired or purchased for resettlement. Whenever replacement land is offered, resettlers are provided with land for which a combination of productive potential, locational advantages, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the land taken. If land is not the preferred option of the displaced persons, the provision of land would adversely affect the sustainability of a park or protected area,16 or sufficient land is not available at a reasonable price, non-land-based options built around opportunities for employment or self-employment should be provided in addition to cash compensation for land and other assets lost. The lack of adequate land must be demonstrated and documented to the satisfaction of the Bank. Payment of cash compensation for lost assets may be appropriate where (a) livelihoods are land-based but the land taken for the project is a small fraction17 of the affected asset and the residual is economically viable; (b) active markets for land, housing, and labor exist, displaced persons use such markets, and there is sufficient supply of land and housing; or (c) livelihoods are not land-based. Cash compensation levels should be sufficient to replace the lost land and other assets at full replacement cost in local markets. Displaced persons and their communities, and any host communities receiving them, are provided timely and relevant information, consulted on resettlement options, and offered opportunities to participate in planning, implementing, and monitoring resettlement. Appropriate and accessible grievance mechanisms are established for these groups. In new resettlement sites or host communities, infrastructure and public services are provided as necessary to improve, restore, or maintain accessibility and levels of service for the displaced persons and host communities. Alternative or similar resources are provided to compensate for the loss of access to community resources (such as fishing areas, grazing areas, fuel, or fodder). Patterns of community organization appropriate to the new circumstances are based on choices made by the displaced persons. To the extent possible, the existing social and cultural institutions of resettlers and any host communities are preserved and resettlers' preferences with respect to relocating in preexisting communities and groups are honored. Without the above measures, the rights of the displaced persons cannot be protected.

4.2.2 Land Administration Law of the PRC Article 47: In acquiring land, compensation should be made according to the original purposes of the land acquired. The land compensation fees shall be 6-10 times the average output value of the three years preceding the acquisition of the cultivated land. The resettlement fee shall be calculated according to the number of agricultural population to be resettled. The number of agricultural population to be resettled shall be calculated by dividing the amount of cultivated land acquired by the per capital land occupied of the unit whose land is acquired. The resettlement fees for each agricultural person to be resettled shall be 4-6 times the average annual output value of the three years preceding the acquisition of the cultivated land. But the maximum resettlement fee per hectare of land acquired shall not exceed 15 times of the average annual output value of the three years prior to the acquisition. The standards for land compensation and resettlement fees for land acquired shall be determined by various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in reference to the land compensation fees and resettlement fees for cultivated land acquired. In acquiring vegetable fields in suburban areas, the units using the land should pay new vegetable field development and construction fund. Whereas the land compensation fees and resettlement fees paid according to the provisions of the second paragraph of this article are not enough to maintain the original level of living, the resettlement fees may be increased with the approval of the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. But the combined total of land compensation fees and resettlement fees shall not exceed 30 times the average output value of the three years prior to the acquisition. In special circumstances, the State Council may raise the standards for land compensation and resettlement fees for land acquired according to the social and economic development level. 4.2.3 Decision of the State Council on Deepening the Reform and Rigidly Enforcing Land Administration (SC [2004] No.28) Article 12 Improving measures of compensation for land acquisition. County-level and above local people’s governments shall take practical measures so that the standard of living of farmers affected by land acquisition is not reduced by land acquisition. Land compensation, resettlement subsidy and compensation for ground annexes and crops shall be paid in full and timely pursuant to law. If the land compensation and resettlement subsidy pursuant to the prevailing laws and regulations are insufficient to maintain the former standard of living of the farmers affected by land acquisition or to pay the social security expenses of farmers who lose all land due to land acquisition, the people’s governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall approve an increased resettlement subsidy. If the sum of the land compensation and the resettlement subsidy attains the statutory upper limit and is still insufficient to maintain the former standard of living of the farmers affected by land acquisition, local people’s governments may pay a subsidy from the income from compensated use of state land. The people’s governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall fix and publish the uniform annual output value standards or composite land prices for land acquisition of all cities and counties, so that the same price applies to the same kind of land. For key construction projects of the state, land acquisition expenses must be listed in the budgetary estimate in full. Compensation rates and resettlement measures for large and medium-sized water resources and hydropower projects shall be otherwise stipulated by the State Council. Article 13 Resettling land-expropriated farmers properly. County-level and above local people’s governments shall take specific measures to guarantee long-term livelihoods of farmers affected by land acquisition. For projects with a stable income, farmers may become a shareholder using the right to use of land used for construction approved pursuant to law. Within the urban planning area, local people’s governments shall bring farmers who lose all land due to land acquisition into the urban employment system, and establish a social security system; out of the urban planning area, in acquiring land collectively owned by farmers, local people’s governments shall reserve necessary arable land or arrange
36 Wuwei Subproject of the World Bank-financed Gansu Rural-Urban Integration Infrastructure Project appropriate jobs for farmers affected by land acquisition within the same administrative area; farmers without land who do not have the basic living and production conditions shall be subject to non-local resettlement. The labor and social security authorities shall propose guidelines for the employment training and social security systems for farmers affected by land acquisition as soon as possible. Article 14 Improving land acquisition procedures. During land acquisition, the ownership of collective land of farmers and the right to contracted management of farmers’ land shall be maintained. Before land acquisition is submitted for approval pursuant to law, the use, location, compensation standard and resettlement mode of the land to be acquired shall be notified to farmers affected by land acquisition; the survey results of the present situation of the land to be acquired shall be confirmed by rural collective economic organizations and farmers to be affected by land acquisition; if necessary, the land and resources authorities shall organize a hearing in accordance with the applicable provisions. The materials for notification to and confirmation by the farmers affected by land acquisition shall be taken as requisite materials for approval for land acquisition. Accelerate the establishment and improvement of the coordination and judgment mechanism for disputes over compensation and resettlement for land acquisition to protect the lawful rights and interests of farmers affected by land acquisition and land users. Approved matters of land acquisition shall be disclosed unless in special cases. Article 15 Strengthening Supervision over the implementation of land acquisition. If the compensation and resettlement for land acquisition has not been implemented, the acquired land shall not be used forcibly. The People’s governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall formulate the procedures for the distribution of the land compensation within rural collective economic organizations on the principle that the land compensation is used for rural households affected by land acquisition mainly. Rural collective economic organizations affected by land acquisition shall disclose the receipt, disbursement and allocation of land compensation fees to their members and accept supervision. The agricultural and civil affairs authorities shall strengthen the supervision over the allocation and use of land compensation fees within rural collective economic organizations. 4.2.4 Notice of the Ministry of Land and Resources on Doing a Better Job in LA Management (June 2010) (1) Apply uniform AAOV rates and location-based composite land prices for land acquisition in all aspects. Fixing uniform AAOV rates and location-based composite land prices for land acquisition are an important measure for improving land acquisition compensation mechanism and realizing equal price for equal land, and also an essential requirement for increasing compensation rates for land acquisition, and protecting farmers’ rights and interests. These rates shall be complied with strictly for rural collective land acquired for all types of construction. For any new construction project, strict control shall be exercised upon land use pre-examination to ensure that land acquisition compensation fees are calculated according to the published uniform AAOV rates and location-based composite land prices for land acquisition, and are included in the budgetary estimates in full. If the construction land is located in an area with the same AAOV or location-based composite land price, the level compensation for land acquisition shall be largely consistent, so as to realize equal compensation for equal land. All localities shall establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism for compensation rates for land acquisition, adjust compensation rates for land acquisition every 2 or 3 years depending on economic level and local per capita income growth, and improve the compensation level for land acquisition gradually. Provinces where prevailing compensation rates for land acquisition have exceeded specified levels shall adjust and amend their compensation rates hereunder. Any province that fails to make timely adjustments shall not be pass land use examination. (2) Explore and improve depository systems for land acquisition compensation fees. In order to prevent the default of land acquisition compensation fees, and ensure that compensation fees are made available timely and fully, all localities shall explore and improve depository systems for land acquisition compensation fees. When organizing land approval, a municipality or county shall estimate land acquisition compensation fees according to the size
37 Wuwei Subproject of the World Bank-financed Gansu Rural-Urban Integration Infrastructure Project and compensation rate of land acquisition, and the land use applicant shall deposit land acquisition compensation fees in advance; for urban construction land and land for any construction project selected separately in the mode of transfer, the local government shall deposit land acquisition compensation fees in advance. After the land use has been approved according to law, the deposited land acquisition compensation fees shall be settled timely. Province-level land and resources departments shall establish sound rules and regulations for the deposition of land acquisition compensation fees together with competent authorities based on local conditions, and exercise control during land use examination. (3) Distribute land acquisition compensation fees rationally. After uniform AAOV rates and location-based composite land prices for land acquisition are practiced, province-level land and resources departments shall establish sound measures for the distribution of land acquisition compensation fees together with the departments concerned, and submit them to province-level governments for approval provided compensation fees for land acquisition should be used mainly on land-expropriated farmers. Upon land acquisition, municipal and county land and resources departments shall pay compensation and resettlement fees timely and fully according to determined compensation and resettlement programs for land acquisition; fees payable to land-expropriated farmers shall be paid directly to individual farmers, and the withholding or embezzlement of compensation and resettlement fees for land acquisition shall be prevented or corrected timely. II. Adopt diversified resettlement modes to ensure land-expropriated farmers’ production and livelihoods (4) Give priority to agricultural resettlement. All localities shall adopt effective resettlement modes suited to local conditions. In rural areas where cultivated land has been added through land management or much mobile land is reserved by rural collective economic organizations, priority shall be given to the mode of agricultural resettlement upon land acquisition, where newly added cultivated land or mobile land shall be allocated to land-expropriated farmers so that they are able to maintain basic production conditions and income sources. (5) Regulate resettlement on reserved land. Where land acquisition is conducted within the range of urban construction land identified in a master plan for land utilization, the resettlement mode on reserved land may be adopted based on local conditions. However, guidance and management shall be strengthened. Reserved land shall be provided in the range of urban construction land and converted into state-owned land; where farmland conversion is involved, it shall be included in annual land utilization plans to prevent expanding the size of urban construction land due to resettlement on reserved land; reserved land development shall comply with the urban construction plan and pertinent provisions. In areas where resettlement on reserved land is practiced, local governments shall develop strict administrative measures to ensure that reserved land is arranged normatively and orderly, and developed and utilized scientifically and rationally. (6) Ensure social security funds for land-expropriated farmers are available. Including land-expropriated farmers in the social security system is an effective way of solving the long-term livelihood problem of land-expropriated farmers. Land and resources departments at all levels shall promote the building of the social security system for land-expropriated farmers together with the departments concerned under the leadership of local governments. Presently, the key to the social security for land-expropriated farmers is to secure social security funds. All localities are encouraged to expand sources of social security funds from land users in conjunction with compensation and resettlement for land acquisition. During land use examination and approval, all localities shall control the availability of social security funds for land-expropriated farmers. In areas where trials on the new rural social endowment insurance system are conducted, the social security for land-expropriated farmers shall be linked up with the new rural social security system. Where land-expropriated farmers are included in the new rural social security system, the social security system for land-expropriated farmers shall also be implemented, and the new rural social security system shall not be used in place of the social security system for land-expropriated farmers. III. Implement compensation and resettlement for the demolition of farmers’ residential
38 Wuwei Subproject of the World Bank-financed Gansu Rural-Urban Integration Infrastructure Project house in land acquisition to solve the housing problem of land-expropriated farmers. (7) Implement compensation and resettlement for houses demolished in land acquisition practically. All localities shall attach great importance to farmers’ house demolition in land acquisition, and strengthen management practically pursuant to the Emergency Notice. Compensation and resettlement for farmers’ house demolition involves many aspects, such as land, planning, construction, household registration and civil affairs management, and also such social issues as public security, environmental management and folk customs. Municipal and county land and resources departments shall establish a coordination mechanism, develop measures and implement house demolition properly together with the departments concerned under the unified leadership of local governments. The applicable laws, regulations and policies shall be complied with strictly, and the relevant procedures performed, so that displaced rural households are resettled before their houses are demolished, and illegal or nonconforming compulsory demolition shall be avoided or corrected. (8) Reasonable compensation and resettlement shall be provided for house demolition. Farmers’ houses demolished in land acquisition shall be compensated for reasonably, and diversified resettlement modes suited to local conditions adopted to solve the housing problem for displaced rural households properly. In far suburbs and rural areas, the mode of relocation and reconstruction shall be adopted mainly, where housing sites shall be allocated for house construction. Compensation for house demolition shall cover both demolished houses and acquired housing sites. Demolished houses shall be compensated for at replacement cost, and acquired housing sites shall be compensated for at local compensation rates for land acquisition. In outskirts and urban villages, no housing site shall be allocated separately for house construction in principle, while the mode of compensation in cash or in kind shall apply mainly, where displaced rural households shall purchase houses themselves or accept resettlement housing provided by the government. The sum of compensation fees and government subsidies received by displaced rural households shall be sufficient for them to purchase houses at reasonable levels. (9) Carry out LA and HD orderly under unified planning. In outskirts and urban villages, local governments shall forecast the scale of farmers’ house demolition and resettlement within a certain period based on urban development plans, make advance arrangements for resettlement sites and housing, and organize house demolition orderly. Resettlement housing construction shall comply with urban development plans, and “repeated demolition” shall be avoided. In far suburbs and rural areas, in case of resettlement by relocation and reconstruction, relocation and reconstruction land shall be provided within village and town construction land, giving priority to the utilization of idle land and unused housing land. For villages included in the range of demolition and merger, relocation and reconstruction land shall be as close to planned settlements as possible. Where conditions permit, resettlement housing for displaced rural households shall be constructed in a unified manner in conjunction with new countryside or central village building. IV. Regulate land acquisition procedures and improve the transparency of land acquisition. (10)Conduct notification, confirmation and hearing carefully before reporting for approval. Land acquisition concerns farmers’ immediate interests, and the rights of information, participation, appeal and supervision of farmers shall be protected. Municipal and county land and resources departments shall perform the procedures carefully to listen well to farmers’ opinions before reporting for approval of land acquisition in strict conformity with the pertinent provisions. Land acquisition programs shall be notified practically to village groups and farmers by such means as broadcast, village bulletin board and announcement in conjunction with village affairs disclosure. If any land-expropriated farmer has an objection and proposes a public hearing, the local land and resources department shall organize a hearing timely. Reasonable requirements proposed by farmers must be addressed properly. (11) Simply post-approval implementation procedures. In order to shorten the implementation time after land acquisition approval, where the notification, confirmation and hearing procedures have been performed, and the confirmation of land ownership, land type, size, ground attachments and young crops, and compensation registration have been completed before reporting for approval of land acquisition, the compensation and
39 Wuwei Subproject of the World Bank-financed Gansu Rural-Urban Integration Infrastructure Project
resettlement program for land acquisition may be drafted upon reporting for approval of land acquisition. After the approval of land acquisition, the land acquisition announcement, and the announcement of the compensation and resettlement program for land acquisition may be posted concurrently. If there is any further public opinion during announcement, the policies shall be publicized and explained carefully to win public understand and support. V. Performing duties practically and strengthening land acquisition management (12) Strengthen the responsibility of municipal and county governments as the main subject of land acquisition. According to law, municipal and county governments are the main subject of land acquisition, and generally responsible for the fixation of compensation rates for land acquisition, compensation and resettlement for house demolition, the timely and full disbursement of compensation fees, the employment training of land-expropriated farmers, and the inclusion of land-expropriated farmers in the social security system. Land and resources departments shall perform its responsibilities under the unified leadership of the government to ensure that land acquisition is conducted normatively and orderly. (13) Implement a feedback system after approval of land acquisition. Within 6 months of approval of construction land (for urban construction land approved by the State Council, after the approval of farmland conversion and land acquisition programs by province-level governments), municipal and county land and resources department shall submit information on the implementation of land acquisition, including the range and size of land acquisition, the performance of the post-approval procedures for land acquisition, the availability of land acquisition compensation fees, and the resettlement and social security implementation of land-expropriated farmers, to province-level land and resources department, and the Ministry of Land and Resources via the online submission system. Province-level land and resources departments shall urge and direct municipalities and county to submit information properly, check submitted information, correct non-submission, delayed submission and erroneous submission timely. Land and resources departments at all levels shall take full advantage of submitted information to master and analyze the post-approval implementation of land acquisition, strengthen post-approval land regulation, and ensure that land acquisition is implemented as required. 4.2.5 Notice of the Gansu Provincial Government on Issuing the Location-based Composite Land Prices and Uniform Annual Output Value Rates for Land Compensation of Gansu Province All localities and departments concerned should fully realize the importance of compensation and reallocation for LA, enforce the state laws, regulations and policies on compensation for LA strictly, and regulate land approval management, and should not reduce compensation and resettlement rates in disguised forms. LA compensation fees should be fully paid, and should not be encroached on or diverted to any other purpose. Contingency plans should be developed to realize a smooth transition between the old and new LA compensation rates, and policy publicity and enforcement strengthened. Measures should be taken to protect the lawful rights and interests of the public, especially land-expropriated farmers, so that their living standard is not reduced and their long-term livelihoods are secured. The Location-based Composite Land Prices for LA of Gansu Province (see Table 4-2), Uniform AAOV Rates for LA of Gansu Province (see Table 4-3) came into effect on January 1, 2013.

Compared to the Notice of the Gansu Provincial Government on Issuing the Location-based Composite Land Prices and Uniform Annual Output Value Rates for Land Compensation of Gansu Province, the LA compensation rates of the Subproject are slightly higher than uniform AAOV rates, thereby better protecting the rights and interests of the APs, and enabling them to share the subproject benefits, and restore production and livelihoods. In the Subproject, Tumen Town has a large acquired land area and the highest uniform AAOV, while the compensation rate of Minquan Xiang is the lowest. Tumen Town and Minquan Xiang are taken as an example here to estimate how land losses are covered by compensation rates. The compensation rate for cultivated land in Tumen Town is 36,451 yuan/mu. If the compensation per mu is taken as a fixed bank deposit at the benchmark deposit rate of the People’s Bank of China of 4.75% (for over 5 years)①, annual bank interest
① Effective from July 6, 2012

will be 1,731.4 yuan/mu, while the uniform AAOV of cultivated land in Tumen Town is 1,823 yuan/mu and net income is about 600 yuan/mu, so the compensation rate under the Subproject can cover the lost agricultural income per mu with a slight surplus. See Table 5-3. Table 5-3 Makeup of Land Losses by LA Compensation Fees in the Sample Villages

5.2 Compensation Rates for Permanently Occupied State-owned Land The state-owned land occupied for the Subproject involves Guangchang Primary School, Gansu Agricultural University, Dajing Traffic Police Squadron and Dajing Seed Station. During occupation, HD compensation rate will include compensation for the right to use state-owned land. For the occupation of Huangyang town state-owned agricultural land and reserved construction land (not related to housing units), compensation will be provided to the land ownership agencies refer to the collective land acquisition compensation rate (35000 yuan / mu) in the town. After the withdrawal of the right to use state-owned land, WMG will allocate the land to the Subproject gratuitously as land for public infrastructure. 5.3 Compensation Rates for Demolished Residential Houses All residential houses demolished for the Subproject are rural residential houses, and will be compensated for on a full replacement basis (see Table 5-4). In addition to house compensation, the AHs will also receive moving and transition subsidies. Table 5-4 Compensation Rates for Demolished Rural Residential Houses

Figure 5-2 New Housing in Liuqi Village, Gaoba Town, Liangzhou District It can be seen that the rural households affected by HD in the Subproject will receive sufficient compensation to build a house of the same structure and size. 5.4 Compensation Rates for Demolished Non-residential Properties The Subproject affects 5 public institutions, including 4 public institutions on state-owned land, namely Guangchang Primary School, Gansu Agricultural University, Dajing Traffic Police Squadron and Dajing Seed Station (closed down), and one on collective land, namely Dazhuang Village Committee. The Subproject affects 10 stores on collective land, all operating normally. Non-residential properties on state-owned land The demolition of non-residential properties on state-owned land for the Subproject affects 4 public institutions, in which only some classrooms of Guangchang Primary School will be demolished, its regular teaching activities will not be affected, and the school does not need relocation; some attached properties of Gansu Agricultural University will be demolished, its regular teaching activities will not be affected, and the university does not need relocation; Dajing Seed Station has been closed down and does not need relocation. All these 3 public institutions will be subject to full cash compensation at the same rates as those for residential houses on collective land. Since their land is allocated gratuitously by the government, their land will be withdrawn without compensation. Dajing Traffic Police Squadron will be relocated on a plot allocated gratuitously within Gulang County with the financial support of the county government. It is estimated that reconstruction cost is 850,000 yuan, which will be disbursed from the budget of the Subproject to the local government. Non-residential properties on collective land One public institution (Dazhuang Village Committee) and 10 stores are affected by the demolition of non-residential properties on collective land for the Subproject, where the compensation rate for the Dazhuang Village Committee is 30% higher than the corresponding compensation rate for residential houses. See Table 5-6. Table 5-6 Compensation Rates for Demolished Stores on Collective Land

6. Production and Livelihood Restoration Programs 6.1 Resettlement Programs for Acquisition of Collective Land 1,818.38 mu of collective land will be acquired for the Subproject, including 971.01 mu of cultivated land, accounting for 53.40%; 17.64 mu of woodland, accounting for 0.97%; 4.07 mu of garden land, accounting for 0.22%; 135.35 mu of construction land, accounting for 7.44%; and 690.31 mu of unused land, accounting for 37.96%, being non-contracted collective land, affecting 1,143 households with 4,846 persons in 36 villages in 10 townships (Yongchang Town, Wuhe Xiang, Gaoba Town, Wunan Town and Huangyang Town, Liangzhou District, and Tumen Town, Huanghuatan Xiang, Minquan Xiang, Hengliang Xiang and Dajing Town, Gulang County). LA for the Subproject will affect to local residents’ production and livelihoods to varying degrees. Since the APs’ agricultural income is from cultivated and garden land mainly, lost cultivated and garden land will be used as a basis for analysis. 6.1.1 Impact Analysis of Acquisition of Collective Land The permanent acquisition of 975.08 mu of cultivated and garden land for the Subproject will affect 833 households with 3,757 persons in 50 groups of 31 villages in 10 townships (other 5 villages with 310 HHs and 1089 APs will not be affected by cultivated and garden land acquisition and will not suffer from income loss), namely Yongchang Town, Wuhe Xiang, Gaoba Town, Wunan Town and Huangyang Town, Liangzhou District, and Tumen Town, Huanghuatan Xiang, Minquan Xiang, Hengliang Xiang and Dajing Town, Gulang County. 1. Loss of land resources Among the 70 affected groups, Shuangfeng Group of Hujiabian Village has the highest land loss rate of 31.93%, followed by Group 2 of Xiguan Village, Group 3 of Dazhuang Village, Group 9 of Xindian Village, Luxi Group of Malutan Village, Hedong Group of Erdun Village, Jiazhuang Group of Wangfuying Village, Group 10 and 8 of Xindian Village and Group 3 of Wangfuying Village, with land loss rates of 29.41%, 28.87%, 26.29%, 25.46%, 23.84%, 22.98%, 22.00%, 21.43% and 21.01% respectively, and the land loss rates of the other groups are less than 20%. See Table 6-1. Among the 989 households affected by the acquisition of cultivated and garden land, 282 have land loss rates of 5% or less, accounting for 28.51%, 291 have land loss rates of 5.01%-10%, accounting for 29.42%, 250 have land loss rates of 10.01%-20%, accounting for 25.28%, and 166 have land loss rates of 20.01%-40%, accounting for 16.78% (see Table 6-2). It can be seen that though the overall land loss rate of the Subproject is low, some AHs suffer high land loss rates. 2. Loss of agricultural income The average lost annual agricultural income of the AHs is 991.94 yuan, where Group 3 of Dazhuang Village has the highest lost income of 3,053 yuan, followed by Heshang Group of Xinfeng Village (3,000 yuan), while the average lost annual agricultural income of the other village groups is less than 3,000 yuan. Among the households affected by LA, 347 households have lost annual agricultural income of less than 500 yuan, accounting for 35.09% of all AHs; 279 households lost annual agricultural income of 500-1,000 yuan, accounting for 28.21% of all AHs; 205 households lost annual agricultural income of 1,000-2,000 yuan, accounting for 20.73% of all AHs; and 158 households lost annual agricultural income of 2,000-5,000 yuan, accounting for 15.98% of all AHs. See Table 6-3.

3. Loss rate of household income Among the villages affected by LA, Dazhuang Village has the highest per capita income loss rate 17.42%, followed by Xiguan Village (15.88%) and Xinfeng Village (15.56%), while the per capita income loss rates of affected agricultural population of the other villages are less than 14%. See Table 6-4. Since the subproject area is mostly located in rural areas, the overall percentage of agricultural income to gross income is high. However, with the development of stockbreeding and outside employment, the reliance of farmers’ income on land is weakening. In general, LA for the Subproject affects the income of the affected villages relatively slightly. Table 6-4 Loss Rates of Farmers’ Per Capita Income in the Affected Villages

Based on the above analysis, though the affected village groups will be affected relatively slightly by LA in general, some AHs will still be faced with the negative impact of losing most of agricultural income. Diversified resettlement and income restoration measures have been developed, as detailed below. 6.1.2 Resettlement Programs The components of the Subproject involving LA are the Jinse Avenue-Yongchang Town road works, Yanjia Village-Liuqi Village road works in Gaoba Town, Jinse Avenue-Wunan Town road works, Jinse Avenue-Huangyang Town road works, urban road works of Huangyang Town, Tumen area road works of Urban-Rural Integration Zone (including
58 Wuwei Subproject of the World Bank-financed Gansu Rural-Urban Integration Infrastructure Project
Shuangfeng-Yuandunzi road and Xinfeng-Wangfuying road), Tumen Town-Huanghuatan Village Class-2 Highway reconstruction, Xiaoshanzi-Dajing Town Class-3 Highway reconstruction, and road works in the new urban area of Dajing Town (including Weisan Road, Weisi Road and Quancheng Road). The design agency fully considered LA’s impacts on local socioeconomic development, and production and living systems at the design stage, and optimized the subproject design to minimize LA and HD impacts. Therefore, the Subproject will not destroy the existing production and living systems. 1,818.38 mu of collective land will be acquired for the Subproject, including 975.08 mu of cultivated and garden land. Since LA for the Subproject is caused by road construction mainly, most of the households affected by LA will lose part of their land only, and their agricultural production and income will not be affected seriously. It is learned that almost all AHs support the Subproject because it will improve local traffic conditions, and provide access to the new logistics and industrial parks near the railway station. In addition, they expect reasonable cash compensation, and will use compensation fees for social insurance, skills training, stockbreeding, protected agriculture, and characteristic fruit tree cultivation mainly, as well as transport and business. The following compensation and restoration programs for LA have been developed in accordance with the applicable policies, and based on local conditions and the APs’ expectations. 1. Cash compensation and distribution The village groups and households affected by LA will receive cash compensation. The LA compensation rate of Yongchang Town, Wuhe Xiang, Gaoba Town, Wunan Town and Huangyang Town in Liangzhou District is 35,000 yuan/mu (excluding young crop compensation), and that of Tumen Town 36,451 yuan/mu (excluding young crop compensation), that of Huanghuatan Xiang, Minquan and Hengliang Xiangs 32,000 yuan/mu (excluding young crop compensation), and that of Dajing Town 58,000 yuan/mu (excluding young crop compensation) in Gulang County. LA compensation fees will be distributed through consultation at a village meeting, the distribution program of each village will be implemented after approval by the township government, and traditional practices on the distribution of LA compensation fees will be followed if available. See Table 6-5. Table 6-5 Distribution Programs of LA Compensation Fees of the Affected Villages
District / Township Village Distribution program county Compensation fees will be distributed evenly and land Yangtong reallocated among the contracting population; young crop Yongchang compensation fees will be paid to APs. Town Land and young crop compensation fees are paid directly to Liupei the AHs without land reallocation. Compensation fees will be distributed evenly and land Wuhe Xiang Wuhe, Xiazhai, Wu’ai reallocated among the contracting population; young crop compensation fees will be paid to APs. Compensation fees will be distributed evenly and land Liangzhou Gaoba Town Shisanli reallocated among the contracting population; young crop District compensation fees will be paid to APs. Compensation fees will be distributed evenly and land Wunan Town Huasheng reallocated among the contracting population; young crop compensation fees will be paid to APs. Compensation fees will be distributed evenly and land Guangchang reallocated among the contracting population; young crop Huangyang compensation fees will be paid to APs. Town There are two options: 1. Compensation fees will be Xindian distributed evenly and land reallocated among the contracting population; 2. 60% of compensation is distributed
59 Wuwei Subproject of the World Bank-financed Gansu Rural-Urban Integration Infrastructure Project
evenly among the contracting population, and the remaining 40% distributed evenly among all group members. Compensation fees will be distributed evenly and land Tanggou, Xihe reallocated among the contracting population; young crop compensation fees will be paid to APs. Xitan, Hujiabian, Land and young crop compensation fees are paid directly to Tumen Town Xinfeng, Wangfuying, the AHs without land reallocation. Taizi, Yiquan, Hele Huanghuatan Erdun, Hanshihetai, Land and young crop compensation fees are paid directly to Xiang Malutan the AHs without land reallocation. Minquan Duzhuang, Tuanzhuang, Land and young crop compensation fees are paid directly to Xiang Taizi, Hongqi, Xiakou the AHs without land reallocation. Hengliang Land and young crop compensation fees are paid directly to Zhujiadun Xiang the AHs without land reallocation. 70% of compensation is distributed evenly among the Gulang Beiguan, Dongguan contracting population, and the remaining 30% distributed County evenly among all group members without land reallocation. If acquired land is contracted land, land and young crop compensation fees are paid directly to the AHs. If acquired Dazhuang land is collective land, compensation is distributed evenly Dajing Town among the contracting population without land reallocation. If acquired land is contracted land, land and young crop compensation fees are paid directly to the AHs. If acquired land is collective land, 60% of compensation is distributed Xiguan evenly among the contracting population, and the remaining 40% distributed evenly among all group members without land reallocation. Note: LA compensation fees include land compensation fees and resettlement subsidies. The AHs may implement agricultural and nonagricultural livelihood restoration measures themselves with the support of the government after receiving cash compensation. 2. Agricultural development measures Since most of the AHs still have some remaining land, agricultural development measures are also an important means of promoting livelihood restoration. The Liangzhou District and Gulang County PMOs have developed the following agricultural development measures in consultation with the affected township governments: (1) granting a subsidy of 2,000 yuan per 60 m2 for livestock greenhouses in major livestock farms (communities); (2) granting a subsidy of 4,000 yuan/mu for new sunlight greenhouses; (3) granting a subsidy of 3,000 yuan/mu for new arched greenhouses; (4) providing infrastructure for major livestock farms (communities) and sunlight greenhouse demonstration sites, granting a subsidy of 4,000 yuan per roller for district-level sunlight greenhouse demonstration sites and a subsidy of 1,500 yuan per roller for sunlight greenhouse demonstration sites with 30 or more greenhouses; (5) granting discounted loans to households developing protected vegetable cultivation and stockbreeding; (6) granting a subsidy for the extension of efficient farmland water conservation techniques; and (7) granting a subsidy for dry farming.

3. Social security According to the Opinions of the Wuwei Municipal Government on Carrying through the Measures of Gansu Province for the Endowment Insurance for Land-expropriated Farmers (WMG [2012] No.23), the policy for endowment insurance for LEFs in Liangzhou District and Gulang County is as follows: (1) LEFs aged 16 years or more upon LA and with over 20% of contracted land acquired with the approval of the government within the administrative area of Wuwei City should be insured. LEFs with over 80% of land acquired or with per capita cultivated area of less than 0.2 mu are regarded as fully LEFs, and those with 20%-80% of land acquired as partly LEFs. (2) After returning remaining land to the village collective, fully LEFs will be converted into urban status in household registration and may participate in basic endowment insurance for urban employees voluntarily, and partly LEFs will participate in endowment insurance for LEFs. (3) If collective mobile land (including newly reclaimed land) is available, such land may be reallocated so that LEFs with land loss rates of less than 20% do not participate in endowment insurance for LEFs for the moment. Fund raising: (1) Premiums of endowment insurance for LEFs are shared by the individual and government, in which the individual assumes 40%, to be deducted from land compensation fees and resettlement subsidies, and the government assumes 60%, to be paid at a time upon LA. (2) The premium contribution level of endowment insurance for fully LEFs is 20% of the 60% of the average pay of in-service employees of Gansu Province in the previous year, and the total amount of contribution is multiplied by 15 years. All individual contributions are entered into the individual account and all government subsidies entered into the pooling account. If the insured is over 60 years old for men or 55 years old for women upon insurance, the total amount of contribution is reduced by 1/15 per year older. If the insured is over 75
61 Wuwei Subproject of the World Bank-financed Gansu Rural-Urban Integration Infrastructure Project years old for men or 70 years for women upon insurance, no individual contribution is required. (3) The premium contribution level of endowment insurance for partly LEFs is based on the per capita net income of farmers of Gansu Province in the previous year, and the total amount of contribution is determined based on acquired land area and degree of impact. All individual contributions and government subsidies are entered into the individual account. If land loss rate is over 20% but less than 30%, the total amount of contribution is 3 times the per capita net income of farmers; if land loss rate is over 30% but less than 40%, the total amount of contribution is 4 times the per capita net income of farmers; if land loss rate is over 40% but less than 50%, the total amount of contribution is 5 times the per capita net income of farmers; if land loss rate is over 50% but less than 60%, the total amount of contribution is 6 times the per capita net income of farmers; if land loss rate is over 60% but less than 70%, the total amount of contribution is 7 times the per capita net income of farmers; if land loss rate is over 70% but less than 80%, the total amount of contribution is 8 times the per capita net income of farmers. If the insured is over 60 years old upon insurance, the total amount of contribution is reduced by 1/15 per year older. If the insured is over 75 years old upon insurance, no individual contribution is required. Benefit: (1) Fully LEFs will be included in the basic endowment insurance system for urban employees after contribution as stipulated. Those having attained 60 years for men or 55 years for women upon insurance will receive a pension monthly, which consists of an individual account pension and a basic pension. Those having not attained the above ages will continue to pay premiums according to the measures for basic endowment insurance for flexibly employed urban residents or urban employees, and receive a pension monthly when attaining pension-receiving age. (2) Partly LEFs will be included in the new-type rural social endowment insurance system after contribution as stipulated. Those having attained 60 years will receive a pension monthly from the county/district social insurance handling agency at the balance of the individual account divided by the number of months of pension payment. For those under 60 years, individual accounts will be managed by the county/district social insurance handling agency in a unified manner, and their contributions deposited in the special financial account. They will continue to pay premiums according to the measures for new-type rural social endowment insurance, and receive a pension monthly when attaining pension-receiving age. According to the policy of Wuwei City on endowment insurance for LEFs, LEFs with land loss rates of 20%-80% in the Subproject should pay 7,362-19,632 yuan, and those with land loss rates of over 80% should pay 27,676.8 yuan to participate in basic endowment insurance for urban employees. Xindian Village is taken as an example here. Based on its per capita cultivated area of 1.45 mu and the LA compensation rates under the Subproject, per capita amount of compensation is 10,800-21,700 yuan under different land loss rates, which are higher than amounts of contribution to endowment insurance. Therefore, LA compensation fees under the Subproject are sufficient to cover endowment insurance. After insurance, female LFEs aged 55 years and males aged 60 years will receive annual pensions of 1,299.18-7,236 yuan and 1,588.92-7,236 yuan respectively, and annual pensions of different levels are higher than per capita annual losses of corresponding land loss rates (see Table 6-7). Therefore, pensions received by LEFs under endowment insurance can make up income losses arising from LA in the Subproject, and secure the income of LEFs effectively.

4. Skills training The township labor and social security offices concerned are responsible for the skills training and reemployment of LEFs, developing training programs scientifically, and adjusting them to employment needs timely. All APs in the Subproject may attend free skills training offered by these agencies, covering agricultural and nonagricultural skills. See Table 6-8.

5. Employment promotion At the construction and operation stages, the Subproject will offer 4,940 temporary jobs (about 4,400 at the construction stage and about 540 at the operation stage, and 60% of them are unskilled). The Liangzhou District and Gulang County PMOs will make unskilled jobs first available to the APs, and ensure that their wages are not less than the local average levels of the same types of work.

6.2 Resettlement Programs for Demolition of Residential Houses Rural residential houses totaling 76,662.36 m2 will be demolished for the Subproject, affecting 190 households with 903 persons who will need to be relocated. The demolished rural houses are characterized by unsound supporting facilities, aged structure, and poor day-lighting and ventilation conditions. HD and resettlement activities in the Subproject will provide an opportunity for the AHs to improve residential conditions. The following 3 resettlement modes are available for the demolition of rural residential houses under the Subproject:
① The directly affected population here is the population affected by the acquisition of cultivated and garden land. ② Cash compensation will cover all AHs. 66 Wuwei Subproject of the World Bank-financed Gansu Rural-Urban Integration Infrastructure Project
(1) Cash compensation: The houses of the AHs will be compensated for at replacement cost, and their housing sites acquired shall be compensated for at the compensation rates for LA. The AHs may use compensation fees to purchase houses themselves. (2) Relocation: Housing sites will be approved on a “one house per household” basis, where the AHs will be resettled centrally within the village, and their houses will be built by AHs themselves or by the village collective in a unified manner; a housing site of 0.41 mu will be approved for each household, and the approval formalities shall be handled by the Liangzhou District and Gulang County PMOs. The AHs will not assume the three supplies and one leveling costs of the resettlement site, planning and design costs, and formality handling charges. (3) Property swap: The demolished house of an AH may be swapped at a certain percentage voluntarily; if the size of resettlement housing exceeds swappable size, the AH will pay the price difference at cost.

6.4 Women’s Development Measures During the resettlement process, women’s rights and interests will be fully protected, and women will be allowed to play an important role in socioeconomic and resettlement activities. The measures to promote women's development under the Subproject include: 1. Small-amount secured loans for women In order to help eligible urban and rural women apply for small-amount secured loans for business startup or employment, the Liangzhou District Government has issued the Notice of the Liangzhou District Government on Issuing the Implementation Rules of Liangzhou District on Small-amount Secured Business Startup Loans for Women (LDG [2010] No.56), and the Gulang County Government issued the Implementation Opinions on Accelerating Small-amount Secured Loans for Women (GCGO [2012] No.65). Since some contracted land will be acquired for the Subproject, women will can spend more time and effort on business startup, and have priority in applying for small-amount secured loans to promote their personal development. Subjects of small-amount secured loans are urban and rural women with registered permanent residence in Wuwei City, fixed residence, fully civil capacity and a certain level of solvency, physically healthy, law-abiding, honest and creditable, and whose proposed projects comply with state policies. The limit of newly granted small-amount secured loans is 80,000 yuan per household, or for eligible women operating together, 100,000 yuan per household. Such loans are subject to quarterly interest settlement and single principal repayment at maturity, and are fully discounted by central finance. The interest rate is the benchmark interest rate published by the People’s Bank of China plus 3 percentage points. 2. Housekeeping training In order to generate more job opportunities for women, improve their employment skills, and extend local labor brands such as “Longyuan Working Girl” and “Longyuan Maternity Matron”, the Liangzhou District and Gulang County Governments have obtained training quotas of 300 and 150 men-times respectively under the Letter of Responsibility for the Management of Branded Labor Training Projects of Gansu Province (2012) with the provincial women’s federation. This measure has promoted women’s development greatly. 3. Women’s equal rights in managing and using compensation fees Since women play an important role in family life, such as agricultural production, housework and children’s education, and have special skills in managing and using funds, women will be granted equal signing right in the management and use compensation fees in order to respect their rights, and give play to their special skills in household livelihood restoration and house reconstruction. Based on public consultation, this program has been generally accepted. The Liangzhou District and Gulang County PMOs will enter into agreements with the financial institution disbursing resettlement and compensation funds, and establish measures for fund disbursement for the Subproject. 4. Women’s equal rights in making decisions on resettlement programs During the public consultation process, and at village or village group meetings at which resettlement programs are discussed, women should enjoy equal participation and decision-making rights, and not less than 50% of attendees should be women. 6.5 Restoration Measures for Vulnerable Groups 8 households with 20 persons affected by the Subproject fall into vulnerable groups, all being rural residents. The restoration measures for the vulnerable groups are as follows: 1. Priority in resettlement During resettlement, the affected vulnerable households will have priority in choosing allocated land, receiving skills training, participating in endowment insurance, applying for small-amount secured loans for women, being included in the MLS system for urban and 76 Wuwei Subproject of the World Bank-financed Gansu Rural-Urban Integration Infrastructure Project rural residents, and choosing housing sites and resettlement housing. 2. MLS for urban and rural residents According to the latest MLS standard of Liangzhou District, urban households with per capita monthly income of less than 304 yuan, and rural households per capita annual income of less than 1,907 yuan will be included in the urban and rural MLS system of Liangzhou District. According to the MLS standard of Gulang County adjusted in March 2012, urban households with per capita monthly income of less than 235 yuan, and rural households per capita annual income of less than 1,488 yuan will be included in the urban and rural MLS system of Gulang County. For approved MLS households, household income will be made up to the MLS standard. 3. Urban and rural medical assistance Urban and rural medical assistance will be provided to the vulnerable groups affected by the Subproject in accordance with the Implementation Rules of Liangzhou District for Medical Assistance for Urban and Rural Residents, and Implementation Measures of Gulang County for Urban and Rural Medical Assistance. See the urban and rural medical assistance policy in Section 4.3.5 for details. 6.6 Restoration Program for Infrastructure and Attachments The ground attachments affected by the Subproject include water pipes, power facilities, communication facilities, etc. All public facilities affected by the Subproject will be relocated or restored by competent authorities. Restoration measures for affected traffic infrastructure must be planned and arranged in advance and suited to local conditions, so that such measures are safe, efficient, timely and accurate, and their adverse impact on nearby residents is minimized. Trees, tombs and other ground attachments affected by the Subproject will be compensated for at replacement cost. There are 309 tombs in the subproject area, including 199 in Liangzhou District and 110 in Gulang County (see Section 2.3.9 and Table 2-13). Due to permanent LA, these tombs will be relocated. All affected villages have centralized plots for tomb relocation, and the relocated tombs will be subject to centralized management. The compensation rates for relocated tombs in Liangzhou District are 1,500 yuan per single tomb and 2,000 yuan per twin tomb, where the tombs in Xiazhai Village, Wuhe Xiang will be relocated to Xiazhai Cemetery in Wuhe Xiang (see Figure 6-15), those in Liuqi Village, Gaoba Town and Huasheng Village, Wunan Town to Wunan Cemetery of Wuwei City (located in Maxinhe Village, Wunan Town, 200 mu, accommodating 2,000 tombs, see Figure 6-16), those in Guangchang Village, Huangyang Town to Tianti Mountain Cemetery (see Figure 6-17). The compensation rates for relocated tombs in Gulang County are 1,500 yuan per single tomb and 2,000 yuan per twin tomb, where all tombs will be relocated to the new cemetery in Yongdong Village, Tumen Town.

9. Public Participation and Consultation According to the policies and regulations of the state, Gansu Province, Wuwei City, Liangzhou District and Gulang County on LA, HD and resettlement, great importance will be attached to the participation of and consultation with the APs at the resettlement policy-making, planning and implementation stages in order to protect the lawful rights and interests of APs and entities, reduce grievances and disputes, and realize the resettlement objectives properly by developing sound policies and implementation rules on displacement and resettlement, preparing an effective RAP, and organizing implementation properly. 9.1 Means of and Measures for Public Participation 9.1.1 Means of Public Participation Before the survey, terms of reference were prepared to specify the scope, methods and requirements of survey, listen to comments of local governments, and had local governments assign representatives to the survey team. During the general survey, township, village and group heads, and AP representative were invited to participate, the necessity, benefits and impacts of the Subproject, principles for compensation and resettlement progress were communicated to them, and the survey team discussed possible resettlement sites with them. At the RAP preparation stage, the resettlement planning staff discussed with district and township leaders, listened to their comments, requirements and issues, and selected resettlement sites. During the field survey, local residents and staff of departments concerned were involved in site selection. These consultation activities will be meaningful for the successful implementation of the RAP. On the basis of effectiveness and feasibility, public participation activities were conducted in the following manners: 1. Focus group discussion (FGD) FGDs covering all affected population were organized at the village groups, including ordinary residents affected by LA and HD, old people, women and disabled persons. 2. Structured questionnaire survey At the preparation and design stages of the Subproject, a structured questionnaire was designed to fully understand the expected resettlement modes of the affected population, with focus on rural reconstruction and resettlement programs. In public consultation activities conducted at the end of August 2013, 221 rural households affected by HD were included in the questionnaire survey. 3. Discussion meeting and personal interview Depending on public participation activity, discussion meetings and personal interviews were organized to collect relevant information. 9.1.2 Measures for Public Participation and Consultation Public participation and consultation activities were conducted in the form of discussion meeting and sampling willingness survey to explain the purpose, scope and importance of the Subproject, and discuss resettlement programs with AP representatives. Through the survey, public opinions will be well considered, and incorporated into house reconstruction and production resettlement programs as where possible without breach of the overall plan so as to satisfy the APs. At the resettlement implementation stage, the above two forms will be still used to collect resettlement information, investigate expectations of the APs, and further improve resettlement programs. In addition, the APs may reflect grievances, comments and suggestions to village committees, resettlement agencies and M&E agencies, which will be handled according to the established procedures. In order that the APs and the affected local governments are fully aware of the RAP, and the compensation and resettlement programs under the Subproject, the state laws and regulations on resettlement, and the Bank’s policy on involuntary resettlement through public participation (in the form of discussion meeting, etc.) or local news media (e.g., TV) to the APs from the beginning of the Subproject to the whole process of resettlement
88 Wuwei Subproject of the World Bank-financed Gansu Rural-Urban Integration Infrastructure Project
implementation, so that the APs know the compensation calculation method, compensation measures of physical indicators, resettlement measures, the disbursement and use of resettlement funds, and the rights and preferential policies to which they are entitled. Resettlement information will also be disclosed to the residents of the resettlement communities, so that they know information on LA, land compensation rates and fund uses. This will increase the transparency of the resettlement work, win the support of the APs for resettlement and ensure the successful completion of resettlement. 9.2 Public Participation Activities at the Preparation Stage Since April 2013, under the direction of the consulting agency, WMG, the Liangzhou District and Gulang County Governments, and Liangzhou District and Gulang County PMOs have conducted extensive public participation and consultation activities, including: In July and August 2013, the Liangzhou District and Gulang County PMOs conducted field surveys in the subproject area several times to give publicity to basic information of the Subproject, and learn resettlement impacts, and the socioeconomic profile of the affected population. A sampling survey was conducted in the subproject area at a sampling rate of 20%. 250 sample households affected by LA were chosen in Yongchang Town, Wuhe Xiang, Gaoba Town, Wunan Town, Huangyang Town, Tumen Town, Huanghuatan Xiang, Minquan Xiang, Hengliang Xiang and Dajing Town, and 45 households affected by HD were chosen in Yongchang Town, Wuhe Xiang, Gaoba Town, Huangyang Town, Tumen Town and Dajing Town. During the survey, it was learned that most of AHs knew about and supported the Subproject because the Subproject could improve the local traffic conditions and living environment effectively, promote local economic development, create more job opportunities, and improve local residents’ income and living standard. During the DMS and socioeconomic survey, the APs’ expectations for compensation and resettlement were learned. Their opinions about LA and HD are as follows: The compensation and resettlement policies should be open and transparent, and compensation should be fair and reasonable, and be granted under public supervision; compensation should be based on the applicable laws and regulations; the resettlement process should improve their productive and living conditions. At the preparation stage, the Liangzhou District and Gulang County PMOs led the planning and design agencies to visit the government functional departments concerned, township governments many times to seek solutions to some issues in resettlement consultation, and integrate their decisions to provide diversified policy safeguards and measures for resettlement. The key agencies visited include land and resources bureaus, housing and urban-rural construction bureaus, planning bureaus, agriculture bureaus, labor and social security bureaus, ethnic and religious affairs bureaus, women’s federations, housing reform offices, and affected township governments. FGDs were held in the village groups, involving township leaders in charge, group officials and AH representatives. During this process, the distribution programs of compensation fees of these groups were learned preliminarily, and post-LA development measures and income restoration programs were discussed, and consultation was conducted on resettlement community planning.

9.3 Public Participation Plan for the Implementation Stage 9.3.1 Participation in Resettlement 1. Compensation rates for houses House compensation rates concern the AHs’ immediate interests. Before HD, the resettlement agencies will consult with the AHs about house compensation rates and enter into agreements with them. The consultation results will be posted after the execution of agreements for public supervision. 2. Resettlement site and mode for HD At the RAP preparation stage, the departments concerned conducted a survey on resettlement sites and modes. According to the results, most APs prefer the mode of nearby central resettlement. The resettlement agencies and the local governments will provide assistance at all stages of resettlement. 9.3.2 Participation in the Use and Management of Land Compensation Fees Land compensation fees and compensation fees for other collective assets to be retained by the village as stipulated shall be owned by the village collective, and shall not be withheld or embezzled by any organization or individual. Compensation fees shall be used by the village collective for dedicated purposes in a unified manner. 9.3.3 Participation in Project Construction Project construction will affect the subproject area more or less. In order to ensure that the APs benefit from the Subproject, public participation in project construction is highly encouraged, and convenience in materials and labor use will be provided. 9.4 Women’s Participation The implementing agencies and the local governments have attached special importance to the role of women in resettlement implementation, and cared about their personal and household needs from the beginning of the Subproject. In the subproject area, women enjoy the same rights and status as men, and play a crucial role in economic activities and housework, especially in rural areas, where most women stay at home. Except family responsibility, women play a crucial role in farming and nonagricultural operations. Therefore, in the subproject area, women even show greater enthusiasm about the Subproject than men. They not only participate actively in all stages of resettlement, but also play an outstanding role in the consultation about resettlement sites and modes. During the general survey, the women representatives of all affected villages were invited to the survey team to ensure communication with the affected women. At the small-scale discussion meetings of all villages, over 40% of attendees were women. They not only showed great support for the Subproject, but were also concerned about the accuracy of DMS results, the rationality of compensation rates, and if compensation fees could be available timely. At the resettlement planning stage, the design agency invited women representatives to discuss the project design, and listened to their comments, requirements and issues about production resettlement, relocation and resettlement housing construction. These consultation activities have positive significance in addressing women’s worries about livelihoods and traditional production patterns, and ensuring that women benefit equally from the Subproject. In addition, each resettlement implementation and management agency has at least one female official. Priority will be given to women during resettlement, especially in livelihood restoration and project construction activities, to provide them with more job opportunities.

If any AP is dissatisfied with any compensation arrangement or thinks that he/she is treated unfairly or unreasonably during resettlement, he/she may seek a solution through the appropriate procedure. Since the resettlement work is conducted with the participation of APs, no substantial dispute will arise. However, to ensure that APs have a channel to file an appeal on any issue concerning land acquisition and resettlement, a four-stage grievance redress mechanism has been established during the preparation and implementation the RAP: Stage 1: If any AP is dissatisfied with the RAP, he/she can file an oral or written appeal to the village committee or demolition implementing agency orally or in writing. In case of an oral appeal, the village committee or demolition implementing agency shall handle such appeal and keep written records. Such appeal should be solved within two weeks. Stage 2: If the AP is dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 1, he/she may file an appeal to the town resettlement office/management agency after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within two weeks. Stage 3: If the AP is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 2, he/she may escalate the appeal to the competent administrative authorities in accordance with applicable laws and regulations after receiving such disposition for arbitration, and the government approving LA and HD shall make a judgment. Stage 4: If the AP is still dissatisfied with the governmental judgment, he/she may file a suit in a civil court in accordance with the Civil Procedure Law of the PRC after receiving such judgment. The APs may file an appeal about any aspect of resettlement, including compensation rates, etc. The above appeal channel will be notified to the APs at a meeting or otherwise, so that the APs are fully aware of their right of appeal. Mass media will be utilized for publicity, and opinions and advice about resettlement will be compiled into messages for study and disposition by the resettlement agencies. All agencies will accept grievances and appeals from the APs for free, and costs so reasonably incurred will be disbursed from contingency costs.

Appendix 1: Resettlement Due Diligence Report of Jinse Avenue
In order to promote urban and rural integration, WMG has constructed Jinse Avenue – an inter-county/district trunk highway. Jinse Avenue is an artery of the urban-rural development core zone of Wuwei City, an integral part of the “one axis, two towns (Liangzhou and Dajing), and three areas (Yongfeng, Huangyang and Tumen)” of the core zone, and a key driver to the city’s economic and social transformation. Jinse Avenue is identified as a project related to the Subproject. The Liangzhou District and Gulang County PMOs conducted resettlement due diligence on the resettlement activities that have been implemented within the range of Jinse Avenue and prepared this report as required by the Bank in order to protect the lawful rights and interests of the APs.
1. Scope of construction
Jinse Avenue begins with Golden Sun New Energy High-tech Zone and ends with Gulang County Dajing Town, with a full length of 158.57km, divided into the Liangzhou District and Gulang County segment, in which the Liangzhou District segment is 108km long, and the Gulang County segment 50.57km long. The avenue is constructed as a Class-1 highway, with a design speed of 80km/h and a roadbed width of 26m.
2. Approval of construction land
According to the Land Administration Law of the PRC, and other applicable laws and regulations, if any organization or individual needs to use land for construction, it shall apply for the use of state-owned land according to law. This means that no organization or individual shall use collective land for construction. The use of land for construction must comply with the master land utilization plan, annual land utilization plan and standard for construction land. Therefore, land use approval formalities must be completed before the implementation of the project. The statutory land application and approval formalities have been followed strictly for the construction of Jinse Avenue. As of May 16, 2011, the construction land in Liangzhou District and Gulang County had been fully approved. See Attached Table 1 and Attached Figure 1.

6. Resettlement programs and implementation
(1) Resettlement programs for LA
1) Cash compensation: In Liangzhou District, land compensation fees and resettlement subsidies are distributed evenly among the contracting population, and young crop compensation fees (1,500 yuan/mu) are paid directly to the AHs. In Gulang County, land compensation fees, resettlement subsidies and young crop compensation fees are paid directly to the AHs.
It is learned that all LA compensation fees have been paid to the AHs. Most of the AHs have invested compensation fees in stockbreeding, transport, catering, marketing, etc., and their income has increased to some extent.
2) Resettlement on retained land: In Liangzhou District, cultivated land was reallocated among the contracting population within village groups after the distribution of LA compensation fees. No land reallocation was conducted in Gulang County.
3) Employment training: The Liangzhou District and Gulang County Employment Bureaus encourage LEFs to participate in vocational skills training, and grant training subsidies to them. 4 sessions of nonagricultural employment training on welding, automobile repair, driving, catering service, etc. have been organized, and surplus rural labor is guided to get employed to increase their income.
4) Social security: All eligible LEFs in the project area have participated in endowment insurance for LEFs.
(2) Resettlement programs for demolition of residential houses
1) Full cash compensation: After the demolished residential houses and attachments were measured, compensation was paid to the AHs at a time according to the established compensation rates.
2) Self-construction on allocated housing sites: All housing sites were allocated by the village collectives in a unified manner, with an average size of 240-270 m2.
To date, all the 128 households affected by HD in Liangzhou District and Gulang County have received compensation and rebuilt houses. See Attached Figures 4 and 5.

7. Income restoration and resettlement satisfaction survey
In order to learn the APs’ satisfaction with compensation and resettlement for LA, and their income restoration, the RAP preparation team conducted a sampling survey on them. It is found that the APs are satisfied with the compensation policy and most of their income has increased. 240 households were sampled in this survey. See .

It can be seen that most of the respondents are well aware of and satisfied with the compensation policy for LA. In addition, 63.30% of the respondents think their living standard has improved, 34.17% think their living standard has almost been unchanged, and only 2.5% think their living standard has worsened. Therefore, the overall income of the APs has been restored effectively and their satisfaction with
resettlement is high.
8. Conclusion
(1) LA for Jinse Avenue complies with the applicable laws and regulations of the PRC, and land pre-examination, approval, compensation and resettlement have been conducted according to law. The LA procedures, compensation rates and resettlement programs are not only lawful, but also accepted by the APs.
(2) Through reasonable compensation and effective resettlement, most of the APs in the project area have restored their income and living standard. The survey shows that 63.30% of the respondents think their living standard has improved, 34.17% think their living standard has almost been unchanged, and only 2.5% think their living standard has worsened. Therefore, the overall living standard of the APs has not been reduced as a result of the Subproject.
(3) The LA and HD work of Jinse Avenue begun in 2010 and was completed successfully in 2011 with the support of the local township government, village groups and residents. There is no outstanding LA and HD issue.

Appendix 3: Resettlement Policy Framework
Wuwei Subproject of the World Bank-financed Gansu Rural-Urban Integration Infrastructure Project
Resettlement Policy Framework
Wuwei Municipal Government (WMG) Liangzhou District PMO Gulang County PMO
July 2014
I. Overview of the Subproject and Description of Objectives WMG has applied for a loan with the World Bank for the construction of the Subproject, which aims to improve the urban infrastructure of the urban-rural development core zone of Wuwei City, Gansu Province, promote the urban-rural integration, and economic and social development of Wuwei City, and realize social harmony. An RAP has been prepared for the Subproject in accordance with the Bank’s operational policy OP4.12. However, in order to address potential LA and resettlement issues arising from the Subproject, this RPF has been prepared. When any resettlement impact not included in the current RAP arises, the policies and procedures specified in this RPF will apply. II. Objectives of Resettlement, Definitions and Key Principles In a project funded by the World Bank, the borrower should take all necessary measures to mitigate the project’s negative social impacts, including those arising from land acquisition. The provisions on involuntary resettlement in the World Bank’s Operational Policy OP4.12 provide guidance on necessary policy objectives and principles, and apply to project impacts related to land acquisition and resettlement. All reasonable measures should be taken to avoid or minimize land acquisition and all negative impacts related to resettlement. The purpose of this RPF is to ensure that properties and other losses of those affected by the Subproject (as defined below) are compensated for at replacement cost (as defined below), and appropriate assistance and restoration measures are offered so that they have sufficient opportunities to improve or at least restore their income and standard of living. “Affected persons” refer to the group of persons affected in any of the following ways: (1) their standard of living is adversely affected; (2) their houses, land (including housing land, farmland and grassland), and other fixed and non-fixed assets are adversely affectedly, or their land is occupied temporarily or permanently; (3) they have the right to use, either temporarily or permanently, productive resources that are adversely affected; or (4) their business, occupations, and working or living areas are adversely affected. “Replacement cost” is defined as follows: For agricultural land, it is the pre-project or pre-displacement, whichever is higher, market value of land of equal productive potential or use located in the vicinity of the affected land, plus the cost of preparing the land to levels similar to those of the affected land, plus the cost of any registration and transfer taxes. For land in urban areas, it is the pre-displacement market value of land of equal size and use, with similar or improved public infrastructure facilities and services and located in the vicinity of the affected land, plus the cost of any registration and transfer taxes. For houses and other structures, it is the market cost of the materials to build a replacement structure with an area and quality similar to or better than those of the affected structure, or to repair a partially affected structure, plus the cost of transporting building materials to the construction site, plus the cost of any labor and contractors’ fees, plus the cost of any registration and transfer taxes. In determining the replacement cost, depreciation of the asset and the value of salvage materials are not taken into account, nor is the value of benefits to be derived from the project deducted from the valuation of an affected asset. Where domestic law does not meet the standard of compensation at full replacement cost, compensation under domestic law is supplemented by additional measures so as to meet the replacement cost standard. Such additional assistance is distinct from resettlement measures to be provided under other clauses in OP 4.12, para. 6. “Land acquisition” means the involuntary loss of the title to, right to use or access to land of anyone due to the implementation of a project. Land acquisition may lead to a series of relevant impacts, including loss of housing and other fixed assets (enclosing walls, wells, tombs or other structures or facilities attached to such land). “Resettlement” means the process of providing sufficient opportunities to APs to restore productivity, income and standard of living. Compensation for assets is usually insufficient to realize full restoration. “Cut-off date” is a date of delimitation before which the affected population identified based on title or use right is entitled to compensation or any other form of resettlement assistance. The cut-off date is specified in the RAP, and is usually consistent with the date of census of the affected population or the date of announcement of the civil work resulting in
property demolition. Persons who encroach on the area after the cut-off date are not entitled to compensation or any other form of resettlement assistance. The World Bank’s Operational Policy OP4.12 provides key guidelines for the RAP and its implementation, and the principles related to this RPF are as follows: (1) In any case, the project design and the RAP should be prepared with a view to improving development opportunities for the displaced persons, so that the displaced persons fully benefit from the implementation of project activities, services, and the construction of relevant facilities. (2) All displaced persons should be entitled to compensation for lost assets or equivalent assistance in lieu of compensation; anyone who has no legal title to lost assets should not be excluded from compensation. (3) The compensation rates in the RAP should be based on compensation to all collectives or individuals suffering asset losses, and the amount of compensation should never be discounted or reduced on the ground of depreciation or otherwise. (4) In case of acquisition of arable land, the first option is to reallocate co-owned land. If income on arable land accounts for a small part of a displaced person’s income, cash compensation or job placement may be taken as an alternative at the discretion of such displaced person. (5) The cost of alternative residential housing, housing sites, business premises, and agricultural sites to be provided can be set off against all or part of the compensation payable for the corresponding asset lost. (6) The transition period should be minimized, and compensation for lost assets should be paid before residents are affected so that they can build new housing, relocate or replace fixed assets, and take measures to mitigate resettlement impacts before the beginning of resettlement. A certain level of transition assistance should be provided to residents who fail to obtain replacement housing until replacement housing is available. (7) The RAP should be developed in consultation with the displaced persons, and incorporate their requests and suggestions. The RAP should be disclosed to the displaced persons in an understandable manner. (8) In host communities, infrastructure and public services are provided as necessary to improve or maintain accessibility and levels of service for the displaced persons. (9) The borrower should provide all costs for land acquisition and resettlement, and meet financial and material demand adequately during resettlement and restoration. (10) The RAP should include appropriate institutional arrangements so as to design, plan and implement resettlement and restoration measures timely and effectively. (11) Effective internal and external monitoring mechanisms should be established to monitor the implementation of resettlement measures. (12) A necessary appeal channel should be established and the appeal procedure disclosed to the displaced persons. III. Legal and Policy Framework for Resettlement The primary purpose of this RPF is to ensure that the RAP and its implementation comply with the World Bank’s Operational Policy OP4.12. In addition, all land acquisition and resettlement activities under the Subproject should observe a series of state laws and regulations. The detailed RPF is as follows:

The above laws, regulations and policies constitute the legal basis and policy framework for providing compensation, and production and livelihood restoration measures to those affected by land acquisition and resettlement. The key provisions of some laws and policies are as follows: Bank Policy on Involuntary Resettlement: The Bank’s policy on involuntary resettlement has been described clearly in OP4.12 as follows: Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring all viable alternative project designs; Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs, providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits. Displaced persons should be meaningfully consulted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs; Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher. Required measures: The resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement; consulted on, offered choices among, and provided with technically and economically feasible resettlement alternatives; and provided prompt and effective compensation at full replacement cost for losses of assets attributable directly to the project. If the impacts include physical relocation, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are provided assistance (such as moving allowances) during relocation; and provided with residential housing, or housing sites, or, as required, agricultural sites for which a combination of productive potential, locational advantages, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the old site. Where necessary to achieve the objectives of the policy, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework also include measures to ensure that displaced persons are offered support after displacement, for a transition period, based on a reasonable estimate of the time likely to be needed to restore their livelihood and standards of living; and provided with development assistance in addition to compensation measures, such as land preparation, credit facilities, training, or job opportunities.
Particular attention is paid to the needs of vulnerable groups among those displaced, especially those below the poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and children, ethnic minorities, or other displaced persons who may not be protected through national land compensation legislation. Preference should be given to land-based resettlement strategies for displaced persons whose livelihoods are land-based. These strategies may include resettlement on public land, or on private land acquired or purchased for resettlement. Whenever replacement land is offered, resettlers are provided with land for which a combination of productive potential, locational advantages, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the land taken. If land is not the preferred option of the displaced persons, the provision of land would adversely affect the sustainability of a park or protected area,16 or sufficient land is not available at a reasonable price, non-land-based options built around opportunities for employment or self-employment should be provided in addition to cash compensation for land and other assets lost. The lack of adequate land must be demonstrated and documented to the satisfaction of the Bank. Payment of cash compensation for lost assets may be appropriate where (a) livelihoods are land-based but the land taken for the project is a small fraction17 of the affected asset and the residual is economically viable; (b) active markets for land, housing, and labor exist, displaced persons use such markets, and there is sufficient supply of land and housing; or (c) livelihoods are not land-based. Cash compensation levels should be sufficient to replace the lost land and other assets at full replacement cost in local markets. Displaced persons and their communities, and any host communities receiving them, are provided timely and relevant information, consulted on resettlement options, and offered opportunities to participate in planning, implementing, and monitoring resettlement. Appropriate and accessible grievance mechanisms are established for these groups. In new resettlement sites or host communities, infrastructure and public services are provided as necessary to improve, restore, or maintain accessibility and levels of service for the displaced persons and host communities. Alternative or similar resources are provided to compensate for the loss of access to community resources (such as fishing areas, grazing areas, fuel, or fodder). Patterns of community organization appropriate to the new circumstances are based on choices made by the displaced persons. To the extent possible, the existing social and cultural institutions of resettlers and any host communities are preserved and resettlers' preferences with respect to relocating in preexisting communities and groups are honored. Without the above measures, the rights of the displaced persons cannot be protected. Land Administration Law of the PRC: Article 47: In acquiring land, compensation should be made according to the original purposes of the land acquired. The land compensation fees shall be 6-10 times the average output value of the three years preceding the acquisition of the cultivated land. The resettlement fee shall be calculated according to the number of agricultural population to be resettled. The number of agricultural population to be resettled shall be calculated by dividing the amount of cultivated land acquired by the per capital land occupied of the unit whose land is acquired. The resettlement fees for each agricultural person to be resettled shall be 4-6 times the average annual output value of the three years preceding the acquisition of the cultivated land. But the maximum resettlement fee per hectare of land acquired shall not exceed 15 times of the average annual output value of the three years prior to the acquisition. The standards for land compensation and resettlement fees for land acquired shall be determined by various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in reference to the land compensation fees and resettlement fees for cultivated land acquired. In acquiring vegetable fields in suburban areas, the units using the land should pay new vegetable field development and construction fund. Whereas the land compensation fees and resettlement fees paid according to the provisions of the second paragraph of this article are not enough to maintain the original level
of living, the resettlement fees may be increased with the approval of the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. But the combined total of land compensation fees and resettlement fees shall not exceed 30 times the average output value of the three years prior to the acquisition. In special circumstances, the State Council may raise the standards for land compensation and resettlement fees for land acquired according to the social and economic development level. Decision of the State Council on Deepening the Reform and Rigidly Enforcing Land Administration (SC [2004] No.28): Article 12 Improving measures of compensation for land acquisition. County-level and above local people’s governments shall take practical measures so that the standard of living of farmers affected by land acquisition is not reduced by land acquisition. Land compensation, resettlement subsidy and compensation for ground annexes and crops shall be paid in full and timely pursuant to law. If the land compensation and resettlement subsidy pursuant to the prevailing laws and regulations are insufficient to maintain the former standard of living of the farmers affected by land acquisition or to pay the social security expenses of farmers who lose all land due to land acquisition, the people’s governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall approve an increased resettlement subsidy. If the sum of the land compensation and the resettlement subsidy attains the statutory upper limit and is still insufficient to maintain the former standard of living of the farmers affected by land acquisition, local people’s governments may pay a subsidy from the income from compensated use of state land. The people’s governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall fix and publish the uniform annual output value standards or composite land prices for land acquisition of all cities and counties, so that the same price applies to the same kind of land. For key construction projects of the state, land acquisition expenses must be listed in the budgetary estimate in full. Compensation rates and resettlement measures for large and medium-sized water resources and hydropower projects shall be otherwise stipulated by the State Council. Article 13 Resettling land-expropriated farmers properly. County-level and above local people’s governments shall take specific measures to guarantee long-term livelihoods of farmers affected by land acquisition. For projects with a stable income, farmers may become a shareholder using the right to use of land used for construction approved pursuant to law. Within the urban planning area, local people’s governments shall bring farmers who lose all land due to land acquisition into the urban employment system, and establish a social security system; out of the urban planning area, in acquiring land collectively owned by farmers, local people’s governments shall reserve necessary arable land or arrange appropriate jobs for farmers affected by land acquisition within the same administrative area; farmers without land who do not have the basic living and production conditions shall be subject to non-local resettlement. The labor and social security authorities shall propose guidelines for the employment training and social security systems for farmers affected by land acquisition as soon as possible. Article 14 Improving land acquisition procedures. During land acquisition, the ownership of collective land of farmers and the right to contracted management of farmers’ land shall be maintained. Before land acquisition is submitted for approval pursuant to law, the use, location, compensation standard and resettlement mode of the land to be acquired shall be notified to farmers affected by land acquisition; the survey results of the present situation of the land to be acquired shall be confirmed by rural collective economic organizations and farmers to be affected by land acquisition; if necessary, the land and resources authorities shall organize a hearing in accordance with the applicable provisions. The materials for notification to and confirmation by the farmers affected by land acquisition shall be taken as requisite materials for approval for land acquisition. Accelerate the establishment and improvement of the coordination and judgment mechanism for disputes over compensation and resettlement for land acquisition to protect the lawful rights and interests of farmers affected by land acquisition and land users. Approved matters of land acquisition shall be disclosed unless in special cases.
Article 15 Strengthening Supervision over the implementation of land acquisition. If the compensation and resettlement for land acquisition has not been implemented, the acquired land shall not be used forcibly. The People’s governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall formulate the procedures for the distribution of the land compensation within rural collective economic organizations on the principle that the land compensation is used for rural households affected by land acquisition mainly. Rural collective economic organizations affected by land acquisition shall disclose the receipt, disbursement and allocation of land compensation fees to their members and accept supervision. The agricultural and civil affairs authorities shall strengthen the supervision over the allocation and use of land compensation fees within rural collective economic organizations. Notice of the Ministry of Land and Resources on Doing a Better Job in LA Management (June 2010) (1) Apply uniform AAOV rates and location-based composite land prices for land acquisition in all aspects. Fixing uniform AAOV rates and location-based composite land prices for land acquisition are an important measure for improving land acquisition compensation mechanism and realizing equal price for equal land, and also an essential requirement for increasing compensation rates for land acquisition, and protecting farmers’ rights and interests. These rates shall be complied with strictly for rural collective land acquired for all types of construction. For any new construction project, strict control shall be exercised upon land use pre-examination to ensure that land acquisition compensation fees are calculated according to the published uniform AAOV rates and location-based composite land prices for land acquisition, and are included in the budgetary estimates in full. If the construction land is located in an area with the same AAOV or location-based composite land price, the level compensation for land acquisition shall be largely consistent, so as to realize equal compensation for equal land. All localities shall establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism for compensation rates for land acquisition, adjust compensation rates for land acquisition every 2 or 3 years depending on economic level and local per capita income growth, and improve the compensation level for land acquisition gradually. Provinces where prevailing compensation rates for land acquisition have exceeded specified levels shall adjust and amend their compensation rates hereunder. Any province that fails to make timely adjustments shall not be pass land use examination. (2) Explore and improve depository systems for land acquisition compensation fees. In order to prevent the default of land acquisition compensation fees, and ensure that compensation fees are made available timely and fully, all localities shall explore and improve depository systems for land acquisition compensation fees. When organizing land approval, a municipality or county shall estimate land acquisition compensation fees according to the size and compensation rate of land acquisition, and the land use applicant shall deposit land acquisition compensation fees in advance; for urban construction land and land for any construction project selected separately in the mode of transfer, the local government shall deposit land acquisition compensation fees in advance. After the land use has been approved according to law, the deposited land acquisition compensation fees shall be settled timely. Province-level land and resources departments shall establish sound rules and regulations for the deposition of land acquisition compensation fees together with competent authorities based on local conditions, and exercise control during land use examination. (3) Distribute land acquisition compensation fees rationally. After uniform AAOV rates and location-based composite land prices for land acquisition are practiced, province-level land and resources departments shall establish sound measures for the distribution of land acquisition compensation fees together with the departments concerned, and submit them to province-level governments for approval provided compensation fees for land acquisition should be used mainly on land-expropriated farmers. Upon land acquisition, municipal and county land and resources departments shall pay compensation and resettlement fees timely and fully according to determined compensation and resettlement programs for land acquisition; fees payable to land-expropriated farmers shall be paid directly to individual farmers, and the withholding or embezzlement of compensation and resettlement fees for land acquisition shall be prevented or corrected
timely. II. Adopt diversified resettlement modes to ensure land-expropriated farmers’ production and livelihoods (4) Give priority to agricultural resettlement. All localities shall adopt effective resettlement modes suited to local conditions. In rural areas where cultivated land has been added through land management or much mobile land is reserved by rural collective economic organizations, priority shall be given to the mode of agricultural resettlement upon land acquisition, where newly added cultivated land or mobile land shall be allocated to land-expropriated farmers so that they are able to maintain basic production conditions and income sources. (5) Regulate resettlement on reserved land. Where land acquisition is conducted within the range of urban construction land identified in a master plan for land utilization, the resettlement mode on reserved land may be adopted based on local conditions. However, guidance and management shall be strengthened. Reserved land shall be provided in the range of urban construction land and converted into state-owned land; where farmland conversion is involved, it shall be included in annual land utilization plans to prevent expanding the size of urban construction land due to resettlement on reserved land; reserved land development shall comply with the urban construction plan and pertinent provisions. In areas where resettlement on reserved land is practiced, local governments shall develop strict administrative measures to ensure that reserved land is arranged normatively and orderly, and developed and utilized scientifically and rationally. (6) Ensure social security funds for land-expropriated farmers are available. Including land-expropriated farmers in the social security system is an effective way of solving the long-term livelihood problem of land-expropriated farmers. Land and resources departments at all levels shall promote the building of the social security system for land-expropriated farmers together with the departments concerned under the leadership of local governments. Presently, the key to the social security for land-expropriated farmers is to secure social security funds. All localities are encouraged to expand sources of social security funds from land users in conjunction with compensation and resettlement for land acquisition. During land use examination and approval, all localities shall control the availability of social security funds for land-expropriated farmers. In areas where trials on the new rural social endowment insurance system are conducted, the social security for land-expropriated farmers shall be linked up with the new rural social security system. Where land-expropriated farmers are included in the new rural social security system, the social security system for land-expropriated farmers shall also be implemented, and the new rural social security system shall not be used in place of the social security system for land-expropriated farmers. III. Implement compensation and resettlement for the demolition of farmers’ residential house in land acquisition to solve the housing problem of land-expropriated farmers. (7) Implement compensation and resettlement for houses demolished in land acquisition practically. All localities shall attach great importance to farmers’ house demolition in land acquisition, and strengthen management practically pursuant to the Emergency Notice. Compensation and resettlement for farmers’ house demolition involves many aspects, such as land, planning, construction, household registration and civil affairs management, and also such social issues as public security, environmental management and folk customs. Municipal and county land and resources departments shall establish a coordination mechanism, develop measures and implement house demolition properly together with the departments concerned under the unified leadership of local governments. The applicable laws, regulations and policies shall be complied with strictly, and the relevant procedures performed, so that displaced rural households are resettled before their houses are demolished, and illegal or nonconforming compulsory demolition shall be avoided or corrected. (8) Reasonable compensation and resettlement shall be provided for house demolition. Farmers’ houses demolished in land acquisition shall be compensated for reasonably, and diversified resettlement modes suited to local conditions adopted to solve the housing problem for displaced rural households properly. In far suburbs and rural areas, the mode of relocation and reconstruction shall be adopted mainly, where housing sites shall be allocated
for house construction. Compensation for house demolition shall cover both demolished houses and acquired housing sites. Demolished houses shall be compensated for at replacement cost, and acquired housing sites shall be compensated for at local compensation rates for land acquisition. In outskirts and urban villages, no housing site shall be allocated separately for house construction in principle, while the mode of compensation in cash or in kind shall apply mainly, where displaced rural households shall purchase houses themselves or accept resettlement housing provided by the government. The sum of compensation fees and government subsidies received by displaced rural households shall be sufficient for them to purchase houses at reasonable levels. (9) Carry out LA and HD orderly under unified planning. In outskirts and urban villages, local governments shall forecast the scale of farmers’ house demolition and resettlement within a certain period based on urban development plans, make advance arrangements for resettlement sites and housing, and organize house demolition orderly. Resettlement housing construction shall comply with urban development plans, and “repeated demolition” shall be avoided. In far suburbs and rural areas, in case of resettlement by relocation and reconstruction, relocation and reconstruction land shall be provided within village and town construction land, giving priority to the utilization of idle land and unused housing land. For villages included in the range of demolition and merger, relocation and reconstruction land shall be as close to planned settlements as possible. Where conditions permit, resettlement housing for displaced rural households shall be constructed in a unified manner in conjunction with new countryside or central village building. IV. Regulate land acquisition procedures and improve the transparency of land acquisition. (10)Conduct notification, confirmation and hearing carefully before reporting for approval. Land acquisition concerns farmers’ immediate interests, and the rights of information, participation, appeal and supervision of farmers shall be protected. Municipal and county land and resources departments shall perform the procedures carefully to listen well to farmers’ opinions before reporting for approval of land acquisition in strict conformity with the pertinent provisions. Land acquisition programs shall be notified practically to village groups and farmers by such means as broadcast, village bulletin board and announcement in conjunction with village affairs disclosure. If any land-expropriated farmer has an objection and proposes a public hearing, the local land and resources department shall organize a hearing timely. Reasonable requirements proposed by farmers must be addressed properly. (11) Simply post-approval implementation procedures. In order to shorten the implementation time after land acquisition approval, where the notification, confirmation and hearing procedures have been performed, and the confirmation of land ownership, land type, size, ground attachments and young crops, and compensation registration have been completed before reporting for approval of land acquisition, the compensation and resettlement program for land acquisition may be drafted upon reporting for approval of land acquisition. After the approval of land acquisition, the land acquisition announcement, and the announcement of the compensation and resettlement program for land acquisition may be posted concurrently. If there is any further public opinion during announcement, the policies shall be publicized and explained carefully to win public understand and support. V. Performing duties practically and strengthening land acquisition management (12) Strengthen the responsibility of municipal and county governments as the main subject of land acquisition. According to law, municipal and county governments are the main subject of land acquisition, and generally responsible for the fixation of compensation rates for land acquisition, compensation and resettlement for house demolition, the timely and full disbursement of compensation fees, the employment training of land-expropriated farmers, and the inclusion of land-expropriated farmers in the social security system. Land and resources departments shall perform its responsibilities under the unified leadership of the government to ensure that land acquisition is conducted normatively and orderly. (13) Implement a feedback system after approval of land acquisition. Within 6 months of approval of construction land (for urban construction land approved by the State Council, after the approval of farmland conversion and land acquisition programs by province-level
governments), municipal and county land and resources department shall submit information on the implementation of land acquisition, including the range and size of land acquisition, the performance of the post-approval procedures for land acquisition, the availability of land acquisition compensation fees, and the resettlement and social security implementation of land-expropriated farmers, to province-level land and resources department, and the Ministry of Land and Resources via the online submission system. Province-level land and resources departments shall urge and direct municipalities and county to submit information properly, check submitted information, correct non-submission, delayed submission and erroneous submission timely. Land and resources departments at all levels shall take full advantage of submitted information to master and analyze the post-approval implementation of land acquisition, strengthen post-approval land regulation, and ensure that land acquisition is implemented as required.
IV. Preparation and Approval of the RAP The borrower should prepare and implement the RAP (including meeting all funds related to resettlement). However, many aspects of land acquisition and resettlement are implemented by the district/county level land administration department. The borrower will coordinate project activities through the PMO to ensure that an effective RAP is prepared and implemented. The RAP should be combined with local construction, resources exploitation, economic development and environmental protection, and fully embody the sustainability of local economic development and the development of the displaced persons. A feasible RAP should be prepared in consideration of the local natural and socioeconomic conditions in order to restore the production level and standard of living of the displaced persons effectively, and maintain sustainability. Once it is determined that land acquisition is unavoidable in project implementation, it is necessary to conduct involuntary resettlement, and determine the amount of land acquisition and resettlement impacts. At this point, relevant resettlement report documents, such as the RAP, the Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) and the Due Diligence Report on Resettlement, should be prepared and submitted to the World Bank. Only when these report documents have passed the examination of the World Bank can the PMO and the project implementing agencies begin to implement land acquisition, property demolition and resettlement activities. The RAP should estimate a transition period according to the time possibly required for restoring livelihoods and the standard of living, and ensure that displaced persons can receive assistance during the transition period. The borrower identifies and enumerates the persons to be acquired of land or displaced in the project through a census, determines which persons are entitled to assistance and prevents the influx of those without such entitlement; the borrower determines the scope and extent of potential impacts in the project area through a socioeconomic survey. The census must cover all persons directly affected, and the socioeconomic survey may be conducted on a sampling basis. If the census and the socioeconomic survey are conducted concurrently or separately depends on if a full RAP or an ARAP (see Annex A to OP 4.12) is prepared. If over 200 persons are affected, a full RAP should be prepared. If the whole displaced population is affected slightly, or less than 200 persons are affected, an ARAP may be sufficient. If the APs do not have to be displaced, and the loss of means of production is less than 10%, the project is deemed to have a “slight impact”. If an RAP has to be prepared, it should be prepared in accordance with the policy principles, programs and implementation arrangements in this RPF. The RAP should be based on accurate census and socioeconomic survey results, and incorporate measures to mitigate negative impacts arising from resettlement (e.g., compensation for assets, assistance during the transition period, and assistance for economic restoration). To ensure that necessary resettlement measures will not displace or restrict the use of resources and
assets before implementation, resettlement activities should be implemented in conjunction with the investment plan of the project. For different types of negative impacts, the RAP should pay special attention to the following: (1) Description of activities resulting in land acquisition; (2) Scope and extent of potentially negative impacts; (3) Baseline results of socioeconomic survey and census; (4) Review of laws and regulations on land acquisition and resettlement; (5) Compensation rates for all types of affected assets (or other options); (6) Other necessary resettlement measures to provide economic restoration opportunities to the displaced persons; (7) Acceptable rates of compensation and other assistance; (8) Replacement arrangements, including assistance measures during the transition period if necessary; (9) Selection or preparation of resettlement site if necessary; (10) Restoration or replacement of community infrastructure and services; (11) Organizational arrangements for implementation; (12) Consultation and information disclosure arrangements; (13) Resettlement implementation schedule; (14) Costs and budget; (15) Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) arrangements; (16) Grievance redress procedure; and (17) Summary entitlement matrix If an RAP has to be prepared, it should be prepared in accordance with the policy principles, programs and implementation arrangements in this RPF. It should at least include the following: (1) Census and appraisal of affected assets; (2) Description of compensation and other assistance measures to be provided; (3) Acceptable compensation rates; (4) Consultation and information disclosure arrangements; (5) Organizational arrangements for implementation; (6) Schedule and budget; (7) M&E arrangements; and (8) Grievance redress procedure Any RAP prepared in accordance with this RPF should be examined and approved by the World Bank before the civil work contract that causes resettlement can be entered into.
V. Entitlement to Compensation and Resettlement All APs are entitled to compensation and/or other forms of assistance, which are related to the nature of their impact. Generally, persons entitled to compensation include those affected in the following ways: Permanent acquisition of land, including A) villagers having formal rights to land in the affected village, and B) villagers from non-affected villages who farm on or rent land there Type A displaced persons are entitled to compensation at replacement cost. Type B displaced persons are entitled to compensation for crops and properties. Loss of housing, other properties and fixed assets, including trees and young crops: proprietors of properties and other assets (whether they hold a land use or building permit before the cut-off date or not) Losses related to temporary impacts, including temporary land loss, transitional costs related to displacement or interference with business during the construction period The purpose of the RAP is to ensure that the displaced persons have sufficient opportunities to replace lost assets, and improve or at least restore their income and standard of living. To achieve this purpose, it is necessary to identify their entitlement so that all displaced persons are entitled to the assistance in the RAP. In particular, the displaced persons will be entitled to the following types of compensation and resettlement measures (see Table 4 for a summary):
(1) Affected population losing farmland a) Preference should be given to land-based resettlement strategies for displaced persons whose livelihoods are land-based. If land is not the preferred option of the displaced persons, the provision of land would adversely affect the sustainability of a park or protected area, or sufficient land is not available at a reasonable price, non-land-based options built around opportunities for employment or self-employment should be provided in addition to cash compensation for land and other assets lost. The lack of adequate land must be demonstrated and documented to the satisfaction of the World Bank. If the Subproject causes land acquisition, the compensation rates will not be less than those of the Subproject, as detailed below: Table 2 Compensation Rates for Acquired Collective Land in the Subproject Area Young crop Annual Compensation Uniform compensation District / Land output rate of the Township AAOV rate rate (yuan/mu) county type value Subproject (yuan/mu) Irrigated Garden (yuan/mu) (yuan/mu) land land Yongchang, Gaoba, Liangzhou Wunan and Irrigated 1743 29631 35000 2000 3000 District Huangyang Towns land Wuhe Xiang 1511 27195 35000 2000 3000 Tumen Town 1823 36451 36451 2000 3000 Huanghuatan Xiang 1331 21294 32000 2000 3000 Gulang Irrigated Minquan Xiang 1331 21294 32000 2000 3000 County land Hengliang Xiang 823 13161 32000 2000 3000 Dajing Town 1823 36451 58000 2000 3000 b) The affected population will receive compensation at market price for young crops, at net present value for commercial forests, and replacement cost for other fixed assets (attached structures, wells, enclosing walls, irrigation improvement facilities, etc.). c) Compensation will be paid for temporary land use at a rate associated with the period of use, and the occupied land and any affected asset will be restored to the pre-use condition at no expense for the proprietor or the user. (2) Affected population losing properties a) The displaced persons losing properties will be compensated in kind (through replacement of land for construction and housing of the same size and satisfied to the displaced persons), or in cash at replacement cost, and will receive assistance in displacement. For any property demolished on rural collective land, a housing site of equivalent conditions in a nearby area will be offered for housing rebuilding, and cash compensation will be provided at full replacement cost, or resettlement housing will be offered directly to the displaced person, and the price difference settled; for acquisition of housing on the state-owned land, a qualified real estate appraisal agency will be selected in consultation with the displaced person to appraise the market value of the property, and the amount of compensation and mode of resettlement will be determined on this basis; the acquirer should also provide resettlement housing at the displaced person’s option, and the price difference between the resettlement housing and the acquired property will be settled at market value. b) If after partial acquisition, the remaining housing land is insufficient to rebuild or restore housing of the same size or value in any other structure, the whole plot and all buildings thereon will be acquired at replacement cost upon the displaced person’s request. c) For fixed assets, compensation will be paid at replacement cost. d) The tenant of a property will consult with the proprietor about compensation for the loss arising from the termination of the lease, and receive assistance for looking for another property and a moving subsidy from the borrower. (3) Affected population losing business Compensation for loss of business includes: (a) offering a replacement operating plot of the same size and customer accessibility, and satisfactory to the operator; (b) cash compensation for the lost operating property; (c) income lost during the transition period (including employee wages); and (d) moving subsidy. (4) Vulnerable groups
Vulnerable groups involved in the Subproject include the elderly, the disabled and woman-headed households, and should be identified in the census. The compensation and resettlement terms for all APs apply to these groups. In addition, vulnerable groups will receive extra assistance to ensure that their income and livelihoods are restored or improved as a result of project implementation. (5) Ethnic minorities Resettlement of ethnic minorities is particularly complex and may have significant adverse impacts on their identity and cultural survival. For this reason, the borrower should explore all viable alternative project designs to avoid physical displacement of these groups. When it is not feasible to avoid such displacement, preference is given to land-based resettlement strategies for these groups that are compatible with their cultural preferences and are prepared in consultation with them. (6) Infrastructure and services Infrastructure (e.g., water resources, road, sewage system or power supply) and public services (e.g., school, clinic or community center) should be restored or replaced for free for any affected community. In new resettlement sites, infrastructure and public services are provided as necessary to improve or maintain accessibility and levels of service for the displaced persons. Patterns of community organization appropriate to the new circumstances are based on choices made by the displaced persons. To the extent possible, the existing social and cultural institutions of the displaced persons and any host communities are preserved and the displaced persons’ preferences with respect to relocating in preexisting communities and groups are honored.

VI. Implementation Procedures
The RAP should include all detailed implementation schedules. Compensation payment and other restoration measures (in cash or otherwise) must be completed at least one month before land acquisition. If full compensation is not paid or necessary assistance measures are not available before land acquisition, a transition subsidy should be provided. In addition, the following basic legal procedures should be followed during land acquisition, property demolition and resettlement. 1. General procedures of land acquisition and property demolition on collective land Article 20 of the Regulations on the Implementation of the Land Administration Law of the PRC stipulates that land occupation for the purpose of urban planning within the range of urban land for construction specified in the master plan for land utilization shall be carried out as follows: (1) The municipal or county people's government shall draft farmland conversion programs, arable land replenishment programs and land acquisition programs according to the annual land utilization plan, and submit them to competent people’s governments level by level in batches. (2) The competent department for land administration of a competent people’s government shall examine farmland conversion programs, arable land replenishment programs and land acquisition programs, give opinions, and submit them to the competent people’s government for approval; an arable land replenishment program shall be approved by the people’s government approving the corresponding farmland conversion program together with such farmland conversion program. (3) Approved farmland conversion programs, arable land replenishment programs and land acquisition program shall be implemented by the municipal or county people's government, and land shall be provided for specific construction projects. Article 25 Municipal, county people's government of the locality whose land has been acquired shall, upon approval of the land acquisition plan according to law, organize its implementation, and make an announcement in the village (township), hamlet whose land has been acquired on the approval organ of the land acquisition, number of the approval document, use, scope and area of the acquired land as well as the rates for compensation of land acquisition, measures for the resettlement of agricultural personnel and duration for processing land acquisition compensation. Persons of ownership and persons of use right of the acquired land should, within the duration prescribed in the announcement, go to the competent department of people's government designated in the announcement to go through the registration for land acquisition compensation on the strength of land ownership certificates. The competent departments of municipal, county people's governments shall, on the basis of the approved land acquisition plan and in conjunction with the departments concerned, draw up land acquisition compensation and resettlement plan, make an announcement thereof in the village (township), hamlet wherein the acquired land is located to solicit the views of the rural collective economic organizations and peasants on the acquired land. The competent departments of land administration of municipal, county people's governments shall, upon approval of the land acquisition compensation and resettlement plan submitted to the municipal, county people's governments, organize its implementation. Where a dispute arises over the compensation rates, coordination shall be carried out by local people's government above the county level; where coordination has failed, arbitration shall be resorted to by the people's government that approved the land acquisition. Land acquisition compensation and resettlement dispute shall not affect the implementation of the land acquisition plan. Payment of various expenses for land acquisition should be effected in full within 3 months starting from the date of approval of the land acquisition and resettlement plan. 2. General procedure of property acquisition on state-owned land According to the Regulations on the Acquisition of Houses on State-owned Land and Compensation Therefor, the following general procedure should be followed when properties on state-owned land are acquired for the Subproject: (1) Making a decision of property acquisition according to legal conditions and procedures
(2) Issuing an announcement of property acquisition and an announcement of withdrawal of the right to use state-owned land; (3) Selecting a qualified appraisal agency for appraisal, and disclosing the appraisal result (4) Entering into a compensation agreement for property acquisition (5) Disclosing compensation information and establishing acquisition files (6) Demolishing acquired properties and transferring to land acquisition
VII. Resettlement Budget and Arrangements The borrower should assume all responsibilities related to land acquisition and resettlement. Any RAP prepared in accordance with this RPF should include costs and budget. All persons adversely affected by land occupation are entitled to compensation and appropriate resettlement measures, whether they are identified at the RAP stage or not, and whether sufficient relief funds are available. Therefore, the RAP should include contingency costs, which should account for at least 10% of total resettlement costs to pay unforeseeable resettlement costs. The compensation rates in the RAP provide a basis for resettlement compensation. All collectives or individuals losing properties should be compensated at full replacement cost, and discount for any reason is prohibited. The RAP should describe the flow of compensation fees from the borrower to the APs. As a principle, funds should be paid to the affected population as directly as possible, with minimum intermediate processes, such as coordination and arbitration.
VIII. Consultation and Information Disclosure At the resettlement policy-making, RAP preparation and implementation stage, great importance should be paid to the participation of and consultation with the displaced persons, and the resettlement policies of the Subproject should be introduced extensively for comments from the affected population by any means, such as the socioeconomic survey and the impact evaluation survey. Through extensive public participation, coordination and communication, the local governments, affected village collectives and affected population have fully understood the potential impacts, resettlement policies and income restoration program of the Subproject. The participation of or consultation with the APs is the starting point of resettlement activities. Consultation can facilitate the successful implementation of the Subproject, and is a basic means of meeting the resettlement and restoration objectives. The RAP must describe measures for consultation with the displaced persons about the RAP. Displaced persons and their communities, and any host communities receiving them, are provided timely and relevant information, consulted on resettlement options, and offered opportunities to participate in planning, implementing, and monitoring resettlement. In new resettlement sites or host communities, infrastructure and public services are provided as necessary to improve, restore, or maintain accessibility and levels of service for the displaced persons and host communities. Appropriate and accessible grievance mechanisms are established for these groups to restore or improve their income level. In order that the APs’ opinions and choices are fully considered, consultation will be conducted before the project design and the mitigation measures are finalized. Through external monitoring (see below), public participation will run through the whole implementation process of the RAP. The PMO and the local resettlement implementing agencies can encourage the participation of and consultation with the affected population in the following ways: (1) Publicity of resettlement information To ensure that the displaced persons and the local governments fully understand the RAP, and the compensation amounts and RAPs of the components, the PMO should also compile and sum up resettlement information approved by the World Bank, disclose it by posting or through broadcast, TV or online media in the project area, and prepare a resettlement information booklet for distribution to each displaced person. Resettlement information includes all lost assets, compensation rates, amount of compensation, resettlement policies, displaced persons’ rights and interests, feedback and appeal channels, etc.
(2) Holding public consultation meetings Depending on the progress of land acquisition and property demolition, the PMO will hold consultation meetings with the affected population irregularly. Each meeting should involve representatives of vulnerable groups, especially women, and be monitored by the external monitoring agency. The scope and progress of construction, and the resettlement policies of the Subproject will be publicized through broadcast, TV, newspaper or online media. (3) Holding public hearings (4) Holding village congresses The PMO should also disclose the draft and final version of the RAP to the displaced persons and the public in the project area, and hand them out at a place easily accessible to the displaced persons. The place of disclosure of the RAP may be a public library, the villager activity room of the affected village committee, and a government public information website, and the language should be understandable. The draft RAP should be disclosed one month before submission to the World Bank for approval, and the final version will be disclosed after approval by the World Bank.
IX. Grievance Redress Procedure Ensuring that the APs’ production operations and livelihoods are restored or improved is the primary purpose of resettlement. Therefore, no grievance will arise in most cases if resettlement is conducted after consultation with the displaced persons. However, during project implementation, problems may arise more or less. In order to solve problems timely whenever they arise, so as to ensure that resettlement is implemented successfully, and that the displaced persons have an appeal channel in respect of land acquisition and resettlement, the following grievance redress procedure will be adopted for the Subproject: Stage 1: If any AP is dissatisfied with the RAP, he/she can file an oral or written appeal to the village committee or demolition implementing agency orally or in writing. In case of an oral appeal, the village committee or demolition implementing agency shall handle such appeal and keep written records. Such appeal should be solved within two weeks. Stage 2: If the AP is dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 1, he/she may file an appeal to the town resettlement office/management agency after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within two weeks. Stage 3: If the AP is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 2, he/she may escalate the appeal to the competent administrative authorities in accordance with applicable laws and regulations after receiving such disposition for arbitration, and the government approving LA and HD shall make a judgment. Stage 4: If the AP is still dissatisfied with the governmental judgment, he/she may file a suit in a civil court in accordance with the Civil Procedure Law of the PRC after receiving such judgment. The APs may file an appeal about any aspect of resettlement, including compensation rates, etc. The above appeal channel will be notified to the APs at a meeting or otherwise, so that the APs are fully aware of their right of appeal. Mass media will be utilized for publicity, and opinions and advice about resettlement will be compiled into messages for study and disposition by the resettlement agencies. All agencies will accept grievances and appeals from the APs for free, and costs so reasonably incurred will be disbursed from contingency costs.
X. Monitoring and Evaluation Arrangements The basis of resettlement M&E includes: (1) state laws and regulations on resettlement; (2) operational guidelines of the World Bank; and (3) legal documents related directly to the Subproject, such as the RAP accepted by both the World Bank and the project owner. The principles for resettlement M&E include: (1) studying and evaluating the implementation of the RAP regularly; (2) conducting data collection and analysis accurately to ensure the accuracy of M&E results; (3) evaluating the implementation of the RAP scientifically, objectively and fairly; (4) reporting to the project owner and the World Bank timely so that they can learn the progress of the Subproject timely for scientific decision-making. Internal monitoring should usually cover the following:
