Resettlement Plan (Final) March 2014 PRC: Hubei–Yichang Sustainable Urban Transport Project Prepared by Yichang Municipal Government of Hubei Province and Yichang Municipal Urban Construction Investment Development Co. Ltd. for the Asian Development Bank. The People’s Republic of China Yichang Municipal Government of Hubei Province Yichang Sustainable Urban Transport Project by ADB Loans Final Resettlement Plan Based on Detailed Measurement Survey For Western Section of D4 (Fazhan Avenue-Bolinhe Road) and BRT Component Yichang Municipal Urban Construction Investment Development Co., Ltd Yichang, China March 2014 NOTE ON THIS DMS BASED UPDATE 1. On November 21, 2013, the Hubei Provincial Development and Reform Commission approved the preliminary design of the Project (HDRCA [2013] No.998), stating that the Project consists of 3 components: bus rapid transit (BRT) construction and Dongshan Avenue reconstruction (the “BRT component”), Dongshan 4th Road (Fazhan Avenue-Bolinhe Road), and capacity building and institutional strengthening. 2. On October 17, 2013, the Hubei Provincial Government approved the construction land for Dongshan 4th Road (Fazhan Avenue-Bolinhe Road). 3. According to the above approval and preliminary design1, YMUCIDC completed the detailed measurement survey (DMS) of the BRT and Dongshan 4th Road (Fazhan Avenue-Bolinhe Road) components. The key conclusions are as follows: (i) BRT component: Due to the construction of BRT platforms, 73 roadside shops have been included in the range of permanent land acquisition (LA), and the demolition of urban residential houses is now 82 households with 246 persons compared to 91 households with 319 persons in the draft plan. (ii) Dongshan 4th Road (Fazhan Avenue-Bolinhe Road): The boundary line has been adjusted based on local topography to include some slope land. 4. In summary, only the LA and resettlement impacts of the BRT component and Dongshan 4th Road (Fazhan Avenue-Bolinhe Road) have been updated in this RP. Since the preliminary design has not been completed, the resettlement impacts of Dongshan 4th Road East (Bolinhe Road-Xianfeng Road) have not been updated yet.2 Preliminary design for this section of the Road is likely to be completed by May 2014. Subsequently, DMS for the Dongshan 4th Road East section will be conducted and resettlement impacts for this section will be updated as an addendum to this RP. 5. The basis for this update are the preliminary design and land delimitation report, covering resettlement impacts, compensation and resettlement policies, resettlement programs, organizational structure, resettlement budget and implementation schedule 1 The resettlement DMS was conducted based on the preliminary design. As compared with other countries in the region, China has more complex project cycle. The "Preliminary" design is not preliminary and actually very detailed on the ground, particularly for scope of land acquisition and resettlement, and DMS is also based on the scope. Some projects have detailed design that normally focus on technical/engineering aspects. 2 DMS for remaining part of D4 is pending because the Yichang Municipal transport planning is being revised. Once this is done DMS for the remaining part of D4 road will be undertaken and updated.
