13 I. ABSTRACT 1.1 Description of the Project and Land Acquisition and Resettlement Impacts 1. Hubei Huangshi Urban Pollution Control and Environmental Management Project (Hereinafter referred to as the Project) consists of 5 sub-projects, including (i) Wastewater Collection and Treatment (hereinafter to be referred to as Wastewater Treatment), (ii) Inner-Lake Ecological restoration and Hydraulic Circulation Restoration (hereinafter referred to as Ecological Restoration), (iii) Sludge Treatment and Disposal (hereinafter to be referred as Sludge Treatment), (iv) Solid Waste Management (hereinafter referred to as Solid Waste Treatment), and (v) Capacity Development and Institutional Reinforcement. This project s total investment is CNY1,504,000,000, including $100 million (CNY640,000,000) loan application from ADB and other places by supporting and self-raised. 2. Huangshi Municipal Government ADB loan-funded project working group prepared resettlement plan for this project. The project will affect five districts (Huangshigang District, Tieshan District, Xialu District, Xisaishan District and Economic Development Zone), 11 towns and streets, and 26 villages and communities. 3. In total, mu 1 of land will be acquired permanently, while mu 2 of land will be occupied temporarily. Among the permanently occupied land, mu are collectively-owned and mu are state-owned. 193 households and 766 persons in total will be affected due to land acquisition. 228 households and 853 persons in total will be affected due to house relocation. There are 3 enterprises or institutions and 26 employees to be affected by relocation. The total area of buildings to be demolished is 52,258 square meters. To sum up, the project will affect 1001 persons. 4. The detailed measurement survey and the census of affected persons have been conducted for the project s water treatment component. Therefore, the updating the resettlement plan for this subcomponent is not necessary, if the executing agency reconfirms that there will be no changes to design prior to civil works. 1.2 Resettlement Principles and Entitlements 5. The resettlement plan were prepared in compliance with the Land Administration Law of the People s Republic of China (2004), and were also based on local policies regarding LAR in Hubei Province Huangshi City, and ADB s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). 6. Based on consultation with the local governments and affected persons and general practices in the project area, the implementing agencies have adopted a set of resettlement principles and an entitlement matrix has been prepared for the project. 7. Compensation for land acquisition includes land compensation, settlement subsidies and beanstalk subsidy. The compensation standards are according to the comprehensive land price based on regions regulated by the Hubei province government policy. 8. All house buildings will be paid compensation for housing site building, appendix and others. Including the homestead; reconstruction and other find a place for allowance. Compensation will be based on the land and fixed assets value. The houses which practice property right exchange are according to the evaluation of the main architecture of the legal area, and exchange in "removing one to return one" way. 1 mu is a Chinese measuring unit for land and equals to 667 square meters. 2 Pipe network will be built on road which has constructed already, and won t involve into LAR. 1

14 9. For green crops, trees and other facilities, the compensation will be directly issued to affected people. 1.3 Public Participation and Grievance 10. Public consultation has been the key for the preparation of the resettlement plan. From December 2010 to November 2011, a series of consultation activities were carried out with the affected persons, resettlement communities, project planning institutions and other project stakeholders. The affected persons have participated in the preparation of the resettlement plan through the measurement and socioeconomic surveys, and community meetings. Their concerns and comments have been integrated into the resettlement plan. Further consultations will be held during the implementation of the resettlement plan. A grievance procedure has been established for the affected persons to redress their LAR issues, including four interceptions: (i) resettlement communities or local ROs, (ii) ROs of sub-projects; (iii) Huangshi City Urban Construction Investment and Development Co., Ltd.; and (iv) taking legal action to the people s court. 1.4 Resettlement and Livelihood Restoration 11. To minimize the resettlement impacts to affected persons and restore their living standards, detailed programs of restoration and relocation have been arranged in the resettlement plan. People can choose the available programs according to their requirements. Based on the socioeconomic survey and analysis of the affected households carried out by specialized organization, and local experiences in relocation and resettlement of similar projects, measures for resettlement and income restoration have been prepared. These measures include monetary compensation, unified resettlement housing, provision of economically affordable housing, distribution of living expenses to the affected persons, employment creation by the local safeguard network, skill training (including pig-raising fish-raising, improve the land output per unit, working on non-agricultural position or project related position, or non-monetary support and so on.) 309 mu of collectively-owned land to be permanently acquired by the project will be compensated in cash based on the type of land loss. In the project construction process, mu of land will be occupied temporarily, among which mu of land will be used for sewage pipe laying on constructed roads, and no impact to affected persons life. The rest will be compensated according to temporary land occupying standard. In terms of house relocation, 228 households can choose monetary compensation or property right exchange, in which the exchanged housings will be located in 4 districts scattered in four districts of Huangshi City, among which about 170 households who affected by land acquisition of water treatment plant will be collectively resettled in the Hekou central area, Hekou town. 1.5 Institutional Arrangement 12. Huangshi City Urban Construction Investment and Development C., Ltd. will assume the overall responsibility for the implementation of land acquisition and resettlement (LAR), including the planning, implementation, financing, and reporting of LAR. Each subproject implementing agency will take the primary responsibility for the resettlement consultation, implementation, and timely delivery of entitlements. To ensure smooth implementation, the staff in charge of LAR will undertake training on resettlement implementation organized by Huangshi municipal government ADB loan-funded project working group office. The resettlement implementation schedule has been prepared based on the preparation and construction timetable. Detailed measurement survey and census has been made for the WWTP project, so no updates will be necessary for this component. The resettlement plan will be updated based on the final design and detailed measurement survey for the remaining components and be submitted to ADB for review and approval prior to award of civil works contracts. 1.6 Cost and Schedule 13. The total budget for LAR is about CNY130,839,926, accounting for 8.24% of the total investment of CNY1,587,520,800 of the whole project. Land acquisition and house demolition will start in November 2012 and be completed by the end of December

15 1.7 Monitoring and Evaluation 14. A detailed plan for both the internal and external M&E is included in the resettlement plan. The Huangshi City Urban Construction Investment and Development Co., Ltd. will submit an internal monitoring report semiannually to ADB. Furthermore, the Huangshi City Urban Construction Investment and Development Co., Ltd. will assign an external resettlement monitoring institute or firm to establish an independent external monitoring organization in order to deliver a truly independent and unbiased external monitoring report. A thorough study will be completed before the LAR begins and the first monitoring report will be submitted in March After that and until project completion, semiannual monitoring reports will be prepared and submitted for ADB s review. 3

16 II. PROJECT OVERVIEW 2.1 Project Background 15. Hubei province is located in south central China, and its capital is Wuhan city. Located on the southern bank alluvial plain of the Yangtze River, Huangshi city is the second largest city in Hubei province. Surrounded by mountains and with lined trees, Huangshi city is about 70 kilometers away from Wuhan. According to Huangshi City Master Plan, the urban greening coverage rate reached 49.61% in 2005, and will increase to 59% in The total population of Huangshi city is million in 2010, among which permanent resident population reaches 813,000. The city area is 62 square kilometers. The development of Huangshi city in the past mainly depends on the mining industry with gold, silver, copper, iron, and limestone, etc. In 20th century, heavy industry witnessed a very big development on metallurgy, building materials, and clothing, etc. Along with the exhaustion of resources, some industries have to shut down or moved to the outskirts, and that led to the decreasing of the pollution of the city. The focus of current Huangshi city urban master plan is to cultivate the secondary industry (e.g., textile) and the tertiary industry (especially tourism), so as to replace the closed and relocated heavy industry. 17. Now the city construction plan is mainly developed with the "Three-lake in the center. The "Three-lake" is connected with the Yangtze River, with a total area of 10.3 square kilometers. In the flooding season, the rain could be drained directly into the Yangtze River. 540,000 residents live by the lake, and no minority residents were discovered after the survey. 18. In 2010, the annual disposable income per capita of Huangshi urban residents is CNY14,665, and annual net income per capita of rural residents is CNY5,525. There are 70,000 low-income people, whose annual disposable income per capita is less than CNY 5, In the past, due to direct drainage of industrial sewage and filth into the lake body, the lake water was severely polluted, and the lake inter-change canal blocked up. What s more, there were unplanned farming along the bank of the Cihu Lake and the Qingshan Lake, all these caused seriously damage to the lake bank. At present, the lake water quality is in class V or lower. The polluted water and filth silted up in the lake, and make partial of the lake and canal stink. 20. The project team will follow the government policies, and learn from best practices of ADB on lake restoration, sludge treatment and small and medium scale city growth. The implementation of the project is in line with the urban master planning, and it helps to improve the environment, and will set a good example in the small and medium scale cities sustainable development on lake restoration. 2.2 Project Description and Summary of Resettlement Impact 21.

Only when the three-lake and the Yangtze River connecting project is completed, can the internal water treatment methods exert its maximum effect. The lake water of Huangshi three lakes would no longer be stilled water, and the running water from the Yangtze River can further purify the lake water. The three-lake area water quality will be significantly improved in the future, and it could reach Level III and above. Along with the improvement of water quality, the areas for plant and animal living and breeding will be restored; a natural paradise will come into being. 40. Hydraulic Circulation Restoration main including: newly construct Qingshan Lake pumping station, water conveying culverts with length of 2.04 km; construct Qingshan Lake dam, Panlong Mountain tunnel with length of 850 m; Wangjiaqiao ecological canal with length of 930 m; Qinggang Lake pumping station, Daquan Road water conveying culvert with length of 2.74 km; north and south Cihu Lake ecological canal with length of 550m; Qinggang Lake ecological canal with length of 235 m. 10

The impact analysis of land acquisition is shown in Table From the extents of income loss, affected households with 10%-30% land required will lose 2.11% to 2.91% incomes; with 30%-50% land acquired will lose 2.72% to 4.14% incomes; with 50%-70% land acquired will lose 6.39% to 6.92% incomes; with 70%-90% land acquired will lose 0.42% to 7.87% incomes. According to the analysis result, the impact to the incomes loss of affected persons is not too severe, but due to its social security function of land, a certain impact will be caused by land acquisition to affected persons, especially those who lose large quantity. Stable employment opportunities and income source have to be provided to maintain their income level. Analysis on different affected extents is shown from Table 3-8 to Table

42 IV. SOCIO-ECONOMIC INFORMATION AND SUMMARY 4.1 Project Affected County 74. Huangshi City governs five districts of Huangshigang, Xisaishan, Xialu, Tieshan and Economic Development Zone, Daye City and Yangxin County, including one urban area, 27 organic towns and 16 rural market towns. In the end of 2010, the total population of Huangshi city was million and the permanent population million. In 2010, per capita disposable income of urban residents was CNY, per capita consumption expenditure CNY, and per capita housing area square meters. While per capita net income of rural residents was 5525 CNY, per capita consumption expenditure 4073 CNY. In the end of 2010, the city s GDP of Huangshi City reached billion CNY, in which the value-added of the primary industry billion CNY, the secondary industry billion CNY, and the tertiary industry billion CNY. The Project involves districts of Huangshigang, Xisaishan, Xialu, Tieshan and Economic Development Zone of Huangshi City. Socio-economic characteristics of areas impacted by the Project are shown in Table 4-1. District Table 4-1: Socioeconomic Conditions of the Affected Areas Land Area km² Population Per ten thousand people Gross Value of Production billion CNY Financial Revenue billion CNY Per capita net income of rural residents CNY Per capita net income of urban residents Huangshi City Huangshigang District Xisaishan District Xialu District Tieshan District Economic Development Zone Analysis of the Affected Villages 75. With population of 3,200 people, Guniuzhou village of Hekou Town has 10 villages, 5 village groups, 1,700 mu of cultivated land, 860 HHs and 3612 people, with no ethnic minorities. The land acquisition of WWTP is in Group 1, Group 2 and Group 10 of this village, in which the per capita income is 5503 CNY, and agricultural income accounts for 10%. 130 villages are covered by basic living allowance, with various standards of 120 CNY/month, 150 CNY/month and 250 CNY/month. The raising farm in the village has more than 30 employees, with average month income of 1,500 CNY. Contacted by individual, the farm has a production of 10,000 annually, in which most are pigs, and the management fee of the farm is turned in to the village every year. There is also a dock with more than 10 employees involved in transportation business and an annual income of more than one billion. Most of the village people are supportive to the Project. 76. One water abstraction pumping station should be built in the Group 5 of Daoshifu for Hexi WWTP of Huangshi City, and the station will occupy land of Group 5, which has a population of 174, cultivated land of 88 mu, per capita cultivated land of 0.5 mu and per capita net income of 4,800 CNY. 77. Turned into a community in 2001, Chenbaizhen is managed as city model with non-agricultural production as its major model. During the urbanization process of Huangshi City, the land areas of Chenbaizhen were decreased gradually for continuous land acquisition. Community residents mainly plant vegetables in the remaining land for their own consumption. The whole community of Chenbaizhen has total 3,000 people, 1,800 labors, 300 mu land and agricultural income accounts for less than 5%. CNY 30

43 78. Turned into a community in 2007, Laoxialu is managed as city model with non-agricultural production as its major model. During the urbanization process of Huangshi City, the land areas of Laoxialu were decreased gradually for continuous land acquisition. Community residents mainly plant vegetables in the remaining land for their own consumption. The whole community of Laoxialu has total 1,040 people of 298 HHs, and 100 mu land. With per capita income of 3860CNY, the agricultural income accounts for less than 8%. 79. Except those who live Guniuzhou Village of Hekou Town, where a WWTP will be built, other affected HHs are community residents in Huangshi City whose income mainly comes from non-agricultural production instead of agricultural. In the process of urbanization, their contracted land was acquired continuously with a small number of land remained to plant vegetables for their own consumption. After the land acquisition, some affected persons have to buy vegetables in market, which will increase their living expenditure. Affected persons do not feel inconvenient after land acquisition since they are community residents. Due to the collective ownership of the land, the allocation of the LA compensation will be decided by community residents according to previous practice of LA and discussion conclusions of the resident representatives conference Sampling Proportion 4.3 Sampling Survey 80. As Wastewater Treatment System has the greatest influence of the Project, Group 1, Group 2, and Group 10 of Guniuzhou Village are selected as the sampling villages. All together 176 HHs are affected in this three groups, in which 73 HHs are selected as samples, accounts for f 41.5%. Shenghongqing Village and Sanchalu Village are selected as sampling villages for Solid Waste Treatment Project. All affected HHs of 20 are selected as sample. For the Project, all together 309 HHs are affected, in which 93 HHs are selected as samples, accounts for 30.1%. Sampling proportions are shown in Table % In addition, the design plan has been optimized after the socio-economic survey, so in some cases, number of sampling HHs is greater than that of affected HHs.

48 90. From the foregoing analysis, the educational level of female in affected areas is relatively lower than that of male. From the employment point of view, more than 50% women do housework at home; only 27% of them are engaged in seasonal temporary work. 91. For the impact of the Project, the residents will have better living conditions after the demolition and resettlement. For females who withstand most housework, the improvement of living conditions and environment will reduce their labor burden and lighten the impact from polluted environment. In particular, the regulation of rivers and lakes will contribute directly to the improvement of surroundings and water quality. The improvement of living and sanitary conditions is a great opportunity for females undertaking major housework, while house resettlement process will cause a certain psychological impact on females. 92. According to the survey, villagers pay close attention to the reasonable compensation, and majority of workforces do off-farm works out of villages. All households surveyed affected by LA agree with the acquisition, believing the fairness during the resettlement compensation. Villagers surveyed impacted by land demolition and resettlement have expressed their willingness to move to a better-located place to live, their agreement to compensation standards. They expect more resettlement compensation, as well as more governmental assistance when moving into new house and investing in other industries. 4.5 Ethnic Minorities 93. The socio-economic survey of the Project shows no minority families are affected. Therefore, no ethnic minority problem is caused by the Project. 4.6 Conclusion i) More than 90% of affected persons are supportive to the Project. ii) Due to the economic development of Huangshi City, agricultural income of the affected persons does not exceed 18% of total income. iii) Most of the affected labors have the experience of migrant works and relatively stable incomes. iv) Land acquisition has an impact on the affected persons s long-term and steady lives. v) Land acquisition has an impact on the affected persons s incomes. vi) House resettlement process will cause a certain psychological impact on females. vii) The Project involves no ethnic minority. viii) The affected persons pay close attention to the fairness and just of the compensation and resettlement. ix) The affected persons pay close attention to replaced house locations. x) The affected persons concern about the implementation of endowment insurance for farmers whose lands are acquired. xi) The affected persons concern about the source of the construction investment. 36

49 V. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE, PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND PARTICIPATION 94. In order to make the resettlement work of the Project base on a feasible and reliable foundation, ensure the lawful rights and interests of displaced persons and relocated enterprises and reduce dissatisfaction and dispute, the project attaches great importance to the participation and consultation of displaced persons. The resettlement plan is prepared on the basis of full consultation with affected population and information disclosure. Therefore, in the decision process of the planning, design and implementation of the project, HCUCIDCL ROs of all sub-components, Shanghai Yiji Construction Engineering Consulting Corporation (SYCECC) together with all the consultant institutions took the opportunities of socio-economic surveys and social effect evaluation to propagandize the background of the Project in various ways, make consultations with all kinds of affected persons and negotiated about common concerns. Public participation and consultation provide a basis for the improvement of the resettlement plan. 5.1 Public Participation and Consultation Activities Performed 95. As to all significant topics for discussion involved in the planning stage of resettlement, the project RO has organized design organizations, consultant organizations, local ROs and affected population to disclose information and conduct public consultation in various ways. Main disclosure and consultation activities so far are shown in Table 5-1. Table 5-1: Main Activities of Resettlement Information Disclosure and Consultation No. Time Content of disclosure and consultation Participants No. of Participant Organizer Optimization of project design scheme SYCECC, Project design institution, HCUCIDCL, representatives of affected persons 5 HCUCIDCL Amount of LAR SYCECC, HCUCIDCL, representatives of affected persons 11 HCUCIDCL Compensation standards for land requisition SYCECC, HCUCIDCL, representatives of affected persons 8 HCUCIDCL Compensation standards for houses SYCECC, HCUCIDCL, affected enterprises and institutions, villages and persons 40 HCUCIDCL Social effect of the Project SYCECC, HCUCIDCL, affected enterprises and institutions, and persons 30 HCUCIDCL Resettlement mode and desire SYCECC, HCUCIDCL, and affected persons 25 HCUCIDCL Resettlement policies HCUCIDCL, and affected persons 20 HCUCIDCL Negotiation on resettlement locations SYCECC, HCUCIDCL, and affected persons 20 HCUCIDCL 96. After April 2010, the ADB delegation evaluated the content of the project. SYCECC and HCUCIDCL interviewed affected persons. The summarized results of several interviews are shown as follow: 97. Firstly, the respondents have positive opinions on the project and they also have high expectation on this project. Such as, 90% approve the project, most believe that more job opportunities will be offered, local environment quality will be improved, local economy and the tourist industry will be boosted, regional investment environment will be improved, local women will benefit from it, and their family life will be better because of the project. Meanwhile, they also 37

50 think that the government needs to speed up the progress of the project construction. 98. Secondly, interviews show affected persons highly concern about compensation resettlement, especially compensation standards and resettlement policies. For relocated HHs, they concerns about resettlement location and resettlement policies, as well as where comes from all the investments. 99. According to the above situations, during the preparation and implementation of the Project, HCUCIDCL and other relevant organizations will introduce the project to the impacted persons by handing out resettlement manuals, declaring resettlement policies, holding village representative meetings and so on, emphasis will be paid to the publicity of national LAR policies and specific implemental measures of Huangshi city, and the disclosure of relevant information of the Project, so as to fulfill resettlement policies. 5.2 Feedback on Public Participation and Consultation 100. From April to November 2011, SYCECC and HCUCIDCL carried out socio-economic surveys for affected population, generalized and summarized the opinions and advices put forward by them, timely fed back to engineering design organizations, and fully considered and absorbed these opinions and advices when formulating the resettlement plan. Feedback on public participation and negotiation up to now is shown in Table 5-2. Table 5-2: Feedback on Public Participation and Consultation Item Problems Reasons and Results Measures for Improvement Land requisition and relocation Compensation funds Public facilities and environment The environment improvement project will occupy some houses.

56 VII. LEGAL FRAMEWORK 7.1 Policies and Principles of Project Resettlement 120. The Resettlement of HUBEI HUANGSHI URBAN POLLUTION CONTROL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROJECT will be carried out strictly according to relevant laws and regulations, and policies of PRC, Hubei Province and Huangshi City. In addition, the planning and implementation process will be executed completely complying with ADB s relevant policies on Involuntary Resettlement. Please see Appendix 3 for detailed information The compilation of the resettlement plan and the implementation of resettlement work for the Project will be in accordance with the ADB s Safeguard Policy Statement (June 2009). The implementation of resettlement will strictly follow the policies, and its approval will be obtained from ADB prior to any change. If any significant changes must be made, the Project Resettlement Office will discuss with the affected persons, and put forward an updated resettlement plan. (1) The ADB s Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009 (ADB s SPS) 122. The ADB s SPS 7 sets out the following objectives for involuntary resettlement: (i) avoid involuntary resettlement whenever feasible; (ii) minimize involuntary resettlement by exploring project and design alternatives; (iii) enhance, or at least restore the livelihoods of all affected persons in real terms relative to pre-project levels; and (iv) improve the standards of living of the affected poor and other vulnerable groups. ADB defines the scope of involuntary resettlement as (i) physical displacement (relocation, loss of residential land, or loss of shelter) and (ii) economic displacement (loss of land, assets, access to assets, income sources, or means of livelihoods) as a result of involuntary acquisition of land, or involuntary restrictions on land use or on access to legally designated parks and protected areas. The policy applies whether such losses and involuntary restrictions are full or partial, permanent or temporary. The SPS sets out the following policy principles for involuntary resettlement: i) Screen the project early on to identify past, present, and future involuntary resettlement impacts and risks; Determine the scope of resettlement planning through a survey and/or census of affected persons, including a gender analysis, specifically related to resettlement impacts and risks; ii) iii) Carry out meaningful consultations with affected persons, host communities, and concerned nongovernment organizations. Inform all affected persons of their entitlements and resettlement options. Ensure their participation in planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of resettlement programs. Pay particular attention to the needs of vulnerable groups, especially those below the poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and children, and Indigenous Peoples, and those without legal title to land, and ensure their participation in consultations. Establish a grievance redress mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of the affected persons concerns. Support the social and cultural institutions of affected persons and their host population. Where involuntary resettlement impacts and risks are highly complex and sensitive, compensation and resettlement decisions should be preceded by a social preparation phase; Improve, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all affected persons through (i) land-based resettlement strategies when affected livelihoods are land based where possible or cash compensation at replacement value for land when the loss of land does not undermine livelihoods, (ii) prompt replacement of assets with access to assets of equal or higher value, (iii) prompt compensation at full as SR 2. 7 The specific policy requirements for involuntary resettlement are set out in Annex 2 of the SPS, referred to 44

57 replacement cost for assets that cannot be restored, and (iv) additional revenues and services through benefit sharing schemes where possible; iv) Provide physically and economically affected persons with needed assistance, including the following: (i) if there is relocation, secured tenure to relocation land, better housing at resettlement sites with comparable access to employment and production opportunities, integration of resettled persons economically and socially into their host communities, and extension of project benefits to host communities; (ii) transitional support and development assistance, such as land development, credit facilities, training, or employment opportunities; and (iii) civic infrastructure and community services, as required; v) Improve the standards of living of the affected poor and other vulnerable groups, including women, to at least national minimum standards. In rural areas provide them with legal and affordable access to land and resources, and in urban areas provide them with appropriate income sources and legal and affordable access to adequate housing; vi) vii) viii) ix) Develop procedures in a transparent, consistent, and equitable manner if land acquisition is through negotiated settlement to ensure that those people who enter into negotiated settlements will maintain the same or better income and livelihood status; Ensure that affected persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for loss of non-land assets; Prepare a resettlement plan elaborating on affected persons entitlements, the income and livelihood restoration strategy, institutional arrangements, monitoring and reporting framework, budget, and time-bound implementation schedule; Disclose a draft resettlement plan, including documentation of the consultation process in a timely manner, before project appraisal, in an accessible place and a form and language(s) understandable to affected persons and other stakeholders. Disclose the final resettlement plan and its updates to affected persons and other stakeholders; x) Conceive and execute involuntary resettlement as part of a development project or program. Include the full costs of resettlement in the presentation of project s costs and benefits. For a project with significant involuntary resettlement impacts, consider implementing the involuntary resettlement component of the project as a stand-alone operation; xi) xii) Pay compensation and provide other resettlement entitlements before physical or economic displacement; Implement the resettlement plan under close supervision throughout project implementation; Monitor and assess resettlement outcomes, their impacts on the standards of living of affected persons, and whether the objectives of the resettlement plan have been achieved by taking into account the baseline conditions and the results of resettlement monitoring. Disclose monitoring reports 123. Table 7-1 shows relevant policies and principles of LAR. The difference (cash payment methods, community and individual income-recovery measures) between communities are fully considered in setting principles for compensation, LAR, and recovery. The key objective of all 45

58 these principles is to ensure sufficient compensation and assistance for affected persons during LAR, so as to recover and improve their incomes and living standards. Table 7-1: Summary of Resettlement Principles No. Principle Compensation and interest provided to affected persons should at least maintain the same living 1 level before the project. Compensation and resettlement should be given to all affected persons regardless their legal titles or 2 entitlements. In case per capita cultivated land is not sufficient to maintain affected persons livelihood, adequate 3 cash compensation or economic recovery methods should be provided to affected persons so that similar income could be maintained. The affected persons should be fully informed about qualification materials, resettlement and 4 compensation options and standards, living standard and income recovery plans, project implement schedule, and be involved in the implementation of the resettlement plan. Land should not be acquired before the affected persons obtain the replaced land or sufficient 5 compensation. The implementation of compensation and resettlement plan should be monitored by both executing 6 agency and the independent third party.

The meeting may be formal or informal. And the staff of the local RO may be or may not be invited to the meeting, which depends on the actual situation. iv) Field survey. The staff of the independent monitoring organization shall visit the resettlement area regularly and irregularly and observe the resettlement on site. v) Survey on individual case. The monitoring personnel shall put emphasis on the special case occurred in the resettlement, analyze the causes of the problems, work out solutions and propose suggestions. vi) Questionnaire. The monitoring staff shall carry out sampling survey on the recovery of the living and production conditions of the displaced persons and the comments on the resettlement and analyze the result in time to solve the existing problems. And the resettlement work of the next year may be carried out with reference to the results of the survey and the solutions of the problems occurred Contents of Independent Monitoring (1) Resettlement monitoring of the affected enterprises and public institutions 282. The independent monitoring organization shall follow up the resettlement of the enterprises and public institutions through phone call and the study on individual case. The followings will be most concerned about: i) Whether the time of land acquisition and the resettlement is arranged reasonably; ii) Whether the losses of the affected enterprises are compensated; iii) Whether the staffs of the enterprises are resettled properly; 87

100 iv) Whether the production of the enterprises is resumed in time; v) Whether the affected enterprise transfer their loss to their staff. (2) The resettlement of displaced persons 283. Many urban and rural residential houses are involved in this project. The resettlement of displaced persons is the emphasis of the independent monitoring. As to these displaced persons, the followings are the main concerns of the independent monitoring organization: i) Whether the compensation standards of houses and other attachments to the ground are determined in accordance with the replacement cost principle; ii) Whether the compensation is paid with full amount and in time; iii) Construction and distribution of relocation houses; iv) Whether the time of relocation is arranged reasonably; v) Whether the transition allowances and moving cost are paid; vi) Whether the physical losses are fully compensated; vii) Whether the infrastructure (including water, power and heat supply and roads) of the new resettlement area is completed and who is responsible for it; viii) Whether it is convenient to go to hospital and school from the new resettlement area. (3) Monitoring of land acquisition 284. In accordance with the features of the land acquisition of this project, the independent monitoring on the land acquisition and production resettlement shall be focused on the followings: i) Whether the compensation standards of various lands are determined in accordance with relevant laws of the state; ii) Whether the transfer procedure of land compensation fund can ensure the affected village and group to acquire their deserved amount; iii) Whether the amount of land acquired, compensation standards, compensation amount are publicized in the village and by which means they are publicized; iv) Whether a definite and feasible plan is made for the collective use of land compensation; v) Whether the plan of the use of land compensation is designed after the collection of the comments of related villagers and how the use plan is finally determined; vi) How the benefit brought by land compensation is distributed and how the actual economic benefit of the displaced persons is guaranteed. (4) Monitoring of ROs 285. Capable, specialized and efficient ROs may assure the success of resettlement. The monitoring on the operation of ROs is an important part of independent monitoring. The means of monitoring are mainly visits to the ROs and the inspection on the working data and record. The main content of monitoring on ROs includes: i) Whether the personnel structure of the ROs at various levels meets the requirements of the resettlement; ii) Whether necessary working conditions are provided for the ROs at various levels; iii) Whether the quality of resettlement personnel meets the requirements of the resettlement; iv) The resettlement staff training; v) The internal data and information management of the ROs. (5) The resettlement of vulnerable groups 88

101 286. The vulnerable groups shall be given special attention not only by the ROs but also by the independent monitoring organization. The independent monitoring organization shall follow up and monitor the resettlement of vulnerable groups by means of door-to-door interview, questionnaire, individual case analysis and the main indicators of monitoring include: i) Which preferential policies are enjoyed by vulnerable groups in the resettlement; ii) Whether the affected poor household in the urban area can afford a new house and have their living standards improved; iii) Whether special requirements of affected women have been fully considered in the design of resettlement measures; iv) Whether vulnerable groups, especially women, can acquire employment opportunity relating to the project and how many vulnerable persons are employed in the construction of the project; v) Whether there is a female staff member in each RO to deal with the affairs of women. (6) The living standard baseline survey of displaced persons 287.
