1. Introduction
1.1 Brief Introduction of the Project
Asia Development Bank (ADB) financed Chongqing Urban-Rural Infrastructure Development Demonstration
Project II aims to attain socially inclusive and economically balanced growth by integrating urban and rural
development in Chongqing. Given its imbalanced urban and rural growth which resulted in socioeconomic
development gaps, the project will selectively enhance development potentials of small and medium sized cities and
villages through:
(i) Economically and environmentally sustainable water sector reform;
(ii) Urban flood risk management for various river sizes; and
(iii) Improving local road connections between poverty stricken remote areas and their nearest urban centers.
The Project includes seven physical components and one consulting service:
(i) Chengkou urban-rural road network improvement;
(ii) Shizhu urban-rural road network improvement;
(iii) Fuling urban-rural road network improvement;
(iv) Wanzhou Yangliu water supply plant;
(v) Youyang Longtan River flood management (Youyang County has withdrawn from the subproject list and is
no longer financed by ADB);
(vi) Wulong Wujiang River flood management;
(vii) Rongchang Rongfeng River flood management;
(viii) Consulting service subproject.
1.2 General Resettlement Action Plan
All of the 6 components of Chongqing urban-rural infrastructure construction project prepared Resettlement
Plans (RPs). The resettlement plans are prepared based on detailed measurement survey of the project impact and
fully asking for villagers’ opinions in accordance with the requirements of the ADB and the related domestic policies.
The resettlement plans summarized relevant policy frameworks and puts forward effective measures to alleviate the
negative effects caused by the project, through a series of public participation in activities and full consultation. All
policies proposals and compensation measures in the RPs are committed to achieve “to make sure those who have
lost their land or property inevitably in the developmental plan obtain the same or better livelihood and living
standard in state of “no project”.
The staff from the External Monitoring Agency carried out site investigation of the ADB projects located in
various districts and counties in December 2017 and at the beginning of January 2018, and interviewed affected
people and conducted household survey. In addition, they met with leaders of the land acquisition offices and
2
various communities. The Resettlement External Monitoring Team (EMT) mainly has five staff, namely, Wang
Hong, Peng Yongqiang, Song Nan, Hu Yushu and Gong Wen.

2.1 Rongchang RongFeng River Comprehensive Flood Control Subproject
2.1.1 Project Impacts
(1)Permanent Land Acquisition Impacts
Permanent land occupation area for the Rongchang subproject is 465 mu, including 150mu of collective
land and 315mu of state-owned land. Collective land acquisition area includes cultivated land of 98.5 mu,
homestead of 4.5mu, wood land of 40mu and other collective land of 7mu. In implementation, the actual
permanent land occupation area for the Rongchang subproject is 412.52mu, include 97.52mu of collective land
and 315mu of state-owned land has been acquired or occupied, affecting 6 villager groups in 3 villages
(communities) of 2 towns, with totaling 178 AHs and 700 APs.
(2)Temporary Land Use
According to URP, 65 mu land will be temporarily used, affecting 2 HHs and 10 APs. During implementation
stage, no land needs to be used temporarily after design optimization. (3)House Demolition Impacts
Since construction design has been optimized during the execution of the Rongchang subproject, it was pointed
out in the EMR of phase 2, compared with that in final RP, the 10 households’ houses will not be required to be
removed finally. There is no update on the monitored data in this phase.
2.1.2 Payment Status of Resettlement Fund
The land required for Rongchang subproject has been completely acquired; and the compensation for land
acquisition of Section 1 totals approx. RMB 16,860,098.89, and RMB 13,193,783.28 has already been paid; the
compensation for land acquisition of Section 2 is RMB 16,583,720.43, and RMB 13,423,404.84 has been paid.
2.1.4 Companies Demolition Impacts
No enterprise has been affected by the Rongchang subproject, and needs to be relocated.
2.2 Fuling Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project
2.2.1 Permanent Land Acquisition Impacts
(1)Permanent Land Acquisition Impacts
It was found out in this monitoring that the URP was acquired 427.94 mu land, and the Fuling subproject has
actually acquired a total of 417.05 mu permanent land, in which the permanently-acquired collective land for
Section A totals 77.94 mu, and the permanently-acquired rural collective land for Section B totals 339.11mu
(collective land 277.67 mu and state-owned land 61.44 mu). Furthermore, the affects in Section A approx. 120
people in 20 households, and Section B affects approx. 672 people in 157 households.
9
(2)Temporary Land Use
According to the latest monitoring results, material stacking is required for road construction. It is predicted
that the area is less than 20mu, and compensation will be made. It is predicted to determine the specific area at Mar
of 2018.
2.2.2 Payment Status of Resettlement Compensation
RMB 11,289,100 of land compensation payment for Section A has been made, and RMB 13,069,100 of land
compensation payment for Section B has already been made to various village levels, and has yet to be made to the
individual affected person. Then the cash compensation will be distributed according to the list of APs upon their
signatures. Since some individual AP’ land boundary has not been clearly demarcated, the compensation cash is not
yet to be made to the APs. Furthermore, the cash compensation for related collective land has already been
distributed to village communities, and then will be distributed to the villagers upon their discussions in the village
representative meeting; Taking Tujing’s Group 2 for example, 30% of the land compensation for the village owned
land (not contracted land) will be given to the village groups for collective purpose, while the remaining 70% will be
distributed to the eligible villagers according to the resolution of villager public meetings. At the same time, there is
a special situation in Fuling subproject section B. The Fuling subproject has acquiredd part of the collective forest
land, and the collective forest land belongs to the village collective. The measurement of the forest land area needs
more time because there are disputes on the boundary of farmer`s forest land and village collective forest land.
Figure 2.1 Certificate for payment of Fuling land acquisition
Since design changes are to be made for several road sections and such changes proposals have been submitted
but still waiting for the checking by the design institute, the construction is going slowly; the contract price for the
10
works is RMB 79,825,847, but the value of completed works by the end of Jan 2018 is only RMB 7 million,
accounting for 11% of the total contract value.
2.2.3 Compensation of LA and HD
As of December 2017, land acquisition and house demolition have been completed for Section A of Fuling
subproject, and RMB 11,289,100 of land acquisition compensation money of Section A has been paid as per
stipulated standards, and RMB 13,069,100 of land acquisition compensation money of Section B has been paid. For
details of payment standards, please refer to the following Table 2-2 and Table 2-3. Table 2-2 Compensation Standards for Fuling (Standards of Compensation for Land Acquisition)

2.2.4 Enterprises Demolition Impacts
The Fuling District urban-rural road network reconstruction project mainly relates to the relocation of three
enterprises. In August 2017, the IA and the enterprises have requested a third company respectively to assess the
value of those three enterprises. However, no agreement has been reached upon the value of enterprise property due
to big differences between the prices offered by both Parties. Now Fuling County development and reform
commission is in charge and coordinates the compensation negotiation. According to the latest results of such
negotiation, Fuling Jiayu Mining Co., Ltd. has already agreed to the cash compensation of RMB 21 million, but a
specific compensation agreement has not yet to be signed. The negotiation with other two enterprises is still in
progress, which does not affect construction progress at the present. Table 2-4 Progress of Compensation and Relocation of Three Enterprises in Fuling

2.3 Wanzhou Water Supply Subproject
2.3.1 Project Impacts
Wanzhou subproject involves a permanent land occupation of 196.2mu, of which 151.2 mu is state-owned land,
45 mu is collective land (owned by the Chongyan village committee, and leased to Tianmao Agricultural Co., Ltd.
12
and Jishen Agricultural Co. Ltd. for greenhouse vegetables planting). Tianmao and Jishen leased 220 mu of
collective land from Chongyan village for business from 2005, of which 45mu is acquisitioned for this subproject.
According to the previous monitoring data, the companies had stopped planting before the land acquisition, so the
land acquisition does not have significant impact on the enterprises.
2.3.2 Payment Status of Resettlement Fund
The land acquisition and house demolition of the Wanzhou subproject have been completed, and a total of
RMB 4,034,725 has been paid for compensation sake.
2.3.4 Companies Demolition Impacts
As of December 2017, all land acquisition, house demolition and compensation for the Wanzhou water plant
subproject have been completed. Both Tianmao and Jishen has relocated itself in Sept 2017 (all relocation work has
been completed). The attachment compensation agreement has been concluded by and in between the Water
Supply Plant and Jisheng Agriculture Development Co., Ltd. as an example listed below.

2.3.5 House Demolition Impacts
According to the previous monitoring by EMT, a sum of relocation and resettlement compensation has been
paid by the Three-Gorges Project then to the sole household villager named Liu Guangcai who has not moved out;
thus, no more compensation will be made to him this time in terms of the regulations. It was found out during this
monitoring that, Liu Guangcai household has already been relocated, and Rangdu Town Government has rented a
house for his family as their living place, and Randu Town Government has paid the rent of 2017 year, and Randu
Town Government will continue paying all of rent fees in the following years until they pass away. Furthermore,
Liu Guangcai and his wife have transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural, and enjoy endowment insurance
for their basic living standards. See the following figure for the evidence for Liu Guangcai family’s residence.

By the end of June 2017, Chengkou subproject has acquired 358.18mu of collective land,including 74.79 mu
of cultivated land, 2.0 mu of residential land, 232.99 mu of forest land and 49.4 mu of wasteland. According to the
current monitoring, the project currently has a total land acquisition area of 358.18 mu, 75AHs and 300APs. Due to
the length extension of tunnel entrance alignment from 1750 m to 1875 m, there is still one mu left unfinished to
complete the total land requisition.
The details are shown in table 2-1. (2)Temporary Land Use
According to the latest resettlement plan, 68 mu land will be used provisionally and affect 28 households;
further, 15 mu land will be used temporarily during this phase due to rerouting of construction, which has no
negative impact on the residents.
2.4.2 Payment Status of Resettlement Fund
The land compensation fees of the Chengkou subproject will be paid directly by the government to the affected
persons; the budget of land acquisition fees is RMB 8.465 million, by the end of Jan 2018, RMB 5.079 million has
been paid to the LA office by IA. 40% of cash compensation for individual villager has not been paid because some
of detailed land areas for affected villagers are being identified finally. Part of name list of affected farmer who
received the land compensation payment is shown in figure 2.7.
As shown in the figure 2.6, the actual compensation standard for arable land is 10000 yuan/mu, 2000 yuan/mu
for forest land. The affected farmers provide land certificates, identity cards and bank cards, and the LAR office
pays 100% of the land compensation fees to affected farmers by cash. Vegetables and food crops compensation have
not been paid to the farmers so far. No non-agricultural policy is implemented and additional cash compensation of
1,500yuan/mu for improving land quality has not been conducted by Chengkou government even these subsidies
have been presented in URP.
EMT noticed that the standard compensation rate in URP is 13,000 yuan/mu, but the actual rate is
10,000yuan/mu which is lower than that in URP. EMT will check the actual compensation rates (including land,
vegetables, young corps, standing crops and etc.), relevant government documents, public consultation records or
discussion records with APs in the coming site survey. These will be the main concerns in next report.

2.4.3 House Demolition Impacts
There are originally two affected households to be demolished. However, in this report period, newly added six
houses need to be relocated. One house was damaged by blasting operation of Section A and needs to be relocated,
and five houses need to be relocated due to landslide caused by excavation near tunnel entrance in Section B. At
present, a total of 8 households need to be relocated. Tang Hongyou house and Liu Yiguo house have been
demolished and house compensation have been made to them. EMT will continuously track the progress of
relocation else. The compensation standards for the housing demolition in the Chengkou subproject are as shown in
the table below. Table2-5 Schedule of Compensation Standards for Housing Demolition in Chengkou Subproject

According to the external monitoring of this phase:
Tang Hongyou: Old house has been demolished in Sept, and Tang`s family lives in a transitional simple shed, and
have fully received cash compensation. Tan plans to build the new house after spring festival. The new
house is near his old house. Tang hongyou house compensation is comprehensive rate of 1100yuan/m2
according to documents 2012 No.88 which is higher than that in URP.
Liu Yiguo: Liu family has received the cash compensation of old house and now live in a simple shed near his old
house. Liu plans to build his new house when the road subgrade has been built to facilitate transportation
of building materials for new house building. There is one grave which needs to be relocated originally,
but now it does not need to relocate due to rerouting.

2.4.4 Ground Attachments Impacts
The compensation standard for the graves in the Chengkou subproject are RMB 9,600 /per grave; due to
rerouting, only 7 graves in Section B need to be relocated, and 68 graves in Section A; By the end of January 2018,
the relocation of all graves affected have been completed and the cash compensation for the relevant graves have
been paid to the affected households.
2.5 Wulong River Flood Control Project
2.5.1 Project Impacts
(1)Permanent Land Acquisition Impacts Permanent land occupation area for the Wulong subproject is 255.62mu, including 76.48 mu of collective
land and 179.14 mu of state-owned land. Collective land acquisition area includes cultivated land of 3.37mu and
other land 73.11 mu. As Wulong ADB project and other projects are mixed together, the numbers of affected
households can`t be counted easily, the villager leader promise that statistics need for further verification.
(2)Temporary Land Use The Wulong subproject will occupy about 200 mu land, in which 116.78 mu is collective land (including 33.35
mu flood land), and 80.59 mu is state-owned reserve land.
2.5.2 Payment Status of Resettlement Fund
The compensation for land acquisition and house demolition has been paid to the APs, and the cash
compensation of RMB 26,962,500 has been paid by IA, and the compensation of RMB 479,100 for attached objects
has been paid by IA., and the resettlement subsidy for urbanized residents has not been paid because the name list of
ubanied farmers has not been decided finally.
2.5.4 House Demolition Impacts
House demolition area for the wulong subproject is 483.46m2, affecting Chengdong Village, Xiangkou Town,
Wulong County, with 2 households and 8 persons. According to last monitoring data, house demolition for 2
households has been completed. No update occurred during this phase of EMR.
2.5.5 Companies Demolition Impacts
The project involves the demolition of two companies, namely Tobacco Re-drying Factory and Chengcheng
Automobile Repair Plant
1. Chengcheng Automobile Repair Plant
21
Temporary factory has been provided, and workshop and office rooms have been set up there. Presently, some
old cars have been moved to temporary factory, and equipment has not yet to be relocated. The agreement has been
signed and cash compensation has been received by Chengcheng Automobile Repair Plant.
Since the land occupied by ADB project does not affect the operations of Chengcheng Plant seriously, the Plant
owner does not intend to relocate the plant very soon, and it is still in operation. The specific relocation
compensation cost and agreement see the figures below.
Relocation compensation detail is shown in the figure 2.13. (1) the rate of relocation subsidy is 30 yuan /m2,
relocation subsidy is 174060yuan=2901m2 x30 x 2; ,(2) attachment compensation is 1,330,151.3 yuan; (3) the
subsidy for temporary steel frame shed is 120,213.6yuan= 1001.78m2 x 120 /m2; (4) the total relocation
compensation in a lump sum is 1,624,424.9yuan. (5) after signing of the agreement, the IA shall pay 50% of the
lump sum to Chengcheng. The rest of 50% shall be paid when the relocation is conducted.

2. Tobacco Re-drying Plant still in operation 1) The Tobacco Re-drying Factory is administered by the Municipal Tabacco Bureau, thus communication needs
to be made with the Bureau. The Tobacco Re-drying Factory will not be relocated until an approval for such
relocation has been obtained from the Bureau. By the end of Jan 2018, the approval by the Bureau has not been
issued even the location has been proposed by Wulong government. The EMT will continuously pay close
attention to the relocation approval process for the Tobacco Re-drying Factory.
2) Since the construction only refers to the Factory’s two warehouses, the remaining warehouses can still be used
for storage. Thus, the affected two warehouses can be demolished at present and does not affect the construction
progress. The inventory of the tobacco factory can be put inside the remaining warehouses.
3) The Tobacco Re-drying Factory has a total land area of 57.3 mu. The ADB project only occupies 11.89 mu, the
area of the building demolition is estimated of 13,344.2 m2. The quantity of area will be subject to the finally-
affirmed land area (the data in the document of Figure 2.16 is an estimated data).
4) A temporary site has been built at Baima industrial park; since the site has to be inspected by professionals to
see whether it meets the operation requirements of the Tobacco Re-drying Factory. At present, the Factory has
not been relocated to the temporary site yet, and inspection results will be issued after the spring festival in Feb.
2018.
5) Yangjiao Town is the location for the permanent new factory. Then, a third party evaluation agency will be
invited to value the old factory and the new factory and compare their price difference. Cash compensation or
refund shall be made based on such difference. However, ADB project IA will only compensate the part of
the Factory affected (two warehouses).
6) The Wulong government has approved the compensation scheme on acquisition of the Tobacco Factory on 11
Dec 2017 see Figure 2.18 and waiting for the approval of Chongqing Municipal Tobacco Bureau.
7) The documents issued by the government are shown in the figure 2.18~2.21, the main information is
summarized below:
(1) the total area of demolished houses is about 13,988 square meters;
(2) the compensation unit price for each item has been estimated by the specified appraisal
company(Chongqing Kanghua Asset Appraisal Limited Company), such as cable car house: 3210yuan/m2, re-
dry workshop: 3390yuan/m2, warehouse: 3210yuan/m2 and etc.
(3) take cash compensation;
(4) Water, electricity, television, closed-circuit, gas and other facilities will be compensated when the whole
plant is relocated, and does not be considered this time.
(5) The transition subsidy for productive houses is 40 yuan/m2 for each movement; .
(6) Business loss compensation to be paid is 6% of total house appraisal value.
(7) Agreement signing award is 2000 yuan for per household.
(8) Bonus for movement ahead of time is 8 yuan/m2 per day
24
(9) the affected person who chooses monetary compensation within the specified period, in addition to the
agreement signing award and advance movement bonus, 10% of the house appraisal value will be awarded by
cash specially.
(10)The area and purpose of the building is based on the registered information in the house property certificate.
If there is any objection to the area in the certificate, the area measured by a qualified surveying and mapping
agency shall prevail. The actual area is changed after registration, the real area is subject to actual measurement.

2.6 Shizhu County Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project
2.6.1 Project Impacts
(1)Permanent Land Acquisition Impact
In URP, Shizhu subproject requires 642.90 mu rural collective land permanently, including 182.3 mu cultivated
land and 460.6 mu forest land.
The permanent land acquired includes 636.7178 mu collective land and 7.79 mu stated-owned land in previous
monitoring. According to the latest monitoring, up to now, 675.5078 mu land is permanently acquired, among which
31mu forestland is newly required due to landslides in this period. In total, 1043 persons in 299 households
distributed in 12 groups of 5 villages of 3 towns in Shizhu County have been affected.
Since part of the road subgrade is located in unstable geological area, landslide occurred after excavation, so
the road alignment needs to be relocated and additional land needs to be acquired. About 2km in Section B and 1km
in Section A are affected by such case. Estimated 31 mu additional land is acquired permanently.
(2)Temporary Land Use
According to URP, 390.75 mu land will be temporarily used, affecting 129 HHs and 510 APs. During
implementation stage, about 30 mu land needs to be used temporarily after design optimization, and the details has
not be provided by IA in this EMD.
2.6.2 Payment Status of Resettlement Fund
The land compensation for the affected farmers in Huangshui Town has been paid, but the resettlement fees for
non-agricultural has not been paid to the affected villagers. It is expected that the said resettlement fees will be paid
by the spring festival in Feb 2018.
RMB 4,047,780 of the land compensation for Yuelai Town has been directly paid to the affected farmers with
a total of RMB 4,224,557. The remaining part will be paid after the Spring Festive when the farmers come back
home from outside working. The resettlement fees for non-agricultural has not been released to the farmers, it is
expected that the said resettlement fees will be remitted to them in March and April of 2018.
The land compensation for individual households of Yuchi Town has been paid. The resettlement fees for non-
agricultural will be remitted after the Spring Festival.
28
Figure 2.22 LA overlapping costs of Fengxiangping Resort
Before the ADB project, another local project had acquired the land of the Fengxiangping Resort. At that time,
the land acquisition fees had not been cleared. The ADB Yuehuang Road project had acquired 5.706mu lands,
affecting 11 households. According to the minutes of the Yuelai Town 39th Meeting, the town government has
approved that the land compensation of Fengxiangping will still be paid to the APs by ADB Yuehuang project at the
same rate in URP, no matter how much compensation fees have been paid in previous project..
Up to Dec 2017, 10 householders have obtained the land compensation. Only affected farmer Zeng Xiangmu
rejects to get the land compensation fee because he wants to become a non-agricultural resident. But Zeng has only
0.337mu acquisitioned land which does not meet the requirement of the urbanization policy of 1.81mu acquisitioned
land. Zeng has submitted a complaint letter to the Grievances Office and is being processed even LAR officers have
explained the policy to him several times. The LAR officer said that Zeng`s complaint is not reasonable.
2.6.3 House Demolition Impacts
In the last phase’s monitoring, the housing demolition and compensation work for Shizhu subproject have been
completed. There is no update for this phase.
2.7 Evaluation and Conclusion
Generally speaking, the IAs in various districts and counties have paid the compensation for land acquisition
quickly, but it will take a relatively long time to distribute the cash compensation to individual households due to the
following main causes: (1) Farmers have dispute to the area of the land requisitioned. The farmers believe that the
land measured should be more, so DMS has been conducted once again; (2) There is argue on clear boundary
between farmers; (3) There is a difference between the land area recorded in the land certificate and actual land area
because the contracted land has changed several times; (4) Some affected farmers can`t come back home in time to
process compensation program; (5) Some farmer families have an internal dispute.
29
Since the distribution scheme of the compensation of village reserved land needs to decide by the village public
meeting, it will take a relatively long time to remit the 20% cash compensation to farmers.
The compensation for housing demolition has been basically paid in time.
The relocation of enterprises has seriously lagged behind due to difficulty in reaching an agreement in the
valuation of enterprise property. It needs to be coordinated by the government authorities in case.
In addition, the compensation distribution of each district or county was done in different ways. For example:
the cash compensation for in Shizhu was paid directly by Shizhu town’s land acquisition and house demolition
office to the farmers’ individual accounts while the cash compensation in Fuling was paid by Fuling’s land
acquisition and house demolition office to the village committees and then paid to the farmers.
Since only the rural elders and women are living in villages in most of rural regions, they cultivate grains and
vegetables for their own food sake, and their family incomes mainly come from the outside work of young villagers,
thus the land acquisition will not affect their life/income basically. On the contrary, the cash compensation could
improve their living standards.
For the work from agricultural to Non-agricultural residents, Rongchang has completed in 2017. Shizhu has
confirmed the non-agricultural numbers and will pay resettlement fee very soon. Wulong and Fuling is still in
processing.
2.8 Recommendations
1) Compared with the last phase’s report, there is no big progress achieved in the relocation of enterprises in Fuling.
It is recommended that Fuling’s State Development and Reform Commission and other related governmental
authorities coordinate and discuss with Shankaimen and Xinmiao Companies to speed up the relocation work ASAP.
2) A proper distribution scheme related to village collective forest land compensation in Fuling road Section B
should be put forwarded ASAP by village meeting in order to pay such compensation cash to villagers soon.
3) Urge the land acquisition office of Chengkou to speed up the area identification of individual affected household
so that the affected AHs could get compensation soon.
4) Urge the land acquisition office of Wulong and Shizhu to speed up the work on transferring from agricultural to
non-agricultural and payment of resettlement fees.
5) Urge the land acquisition office of Shizhu to speed up the work on payment of resettlement subsidy. Table 2-6 The remaining resettlement compensation issues

3. Urbanization of APs
Since projects are located in various regions, the amount of per-capita cultivated land in those regions varies
greatly. For example, the per-capita cultivated land of Qinglong group of Xincheng village of Shizhu Yuelai Town
is 2.4mu, and the per-capita cultivated land of Gucheng group of the said village is 1.68 mu while it is only 0.5 mu
for Rongchang’s Changzhou Sub-district. Thus, the standards for transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural
vary greatly. Furthermore, the attitudes of APs towards transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural also vary.
Since the project area in Rongchang and Wulong have been overall urbanized, and the land of APs adjacent to
commercial area are becoming more and more expensive, those APs are not active in transferring from agricultural
to non-agricultural. On the contrary, since Shizhu and Fuling projects are located at remote mountain regions, the
APs have less income from land cultivation. They are keen to get better living guarantee through transferring from
agricultural to non-agricultural.
The municipal policy for transferring from agricultural residence to non-agricultural residence is the same,
namely, a person can get a quota for transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural if its land acquisitioned is no
less than the per-capita cultivated land. The mode of determining those persons to be urbanized is also basically the
same, namely, for other APs whose acquisitioned land is less than per-capita cultivated area shall be determined by
the villager meeting through discussions. And this is the common solution for the project construction in Chongqing.
There are the four basic rules for determining the transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural by village
meeting:
(1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Direct
transferring: a quota for transferring will be offered to an AP if its land acquisitioned is no less than the
per-capita cultivated land; The agricultural population to be converted into urban status is the sum of
the acquired cultivated land area and 0.5 times the acquired non-cultivated land area divided by the per
capita cultivated area of this village before land acquisition. But the village meeting normally use this
simple standard to determine who can get the quota of the non-agricultural.
(2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Negotiatio
n and adjustment between APs: in case an AP’s land acquisitioned is insufficient and less than the per-
capita cultivated land standard, he has to obtain other AP’s land quota through negotiation with the AP
to make up the shortfall in order to get an urbanization quota via buying land in cash or replacing land
(seldom used);
(3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The elders
and children less than 16 years old shall have the priority to be transferred;
(4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flexible
transferring, namely, an AP can be transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural if his remaining
land after land acquisition is less than a specified lowest number of mu (for example less than 0.5 mu
in Chongqing) and upon approval.

3.1 Rongchang RongFeng River Flood Control Comprehensive Renovation
3.1.1 Non-agricultural Progress
EMT visited the Rongchang project area from 13 to 14 Dec 2017. To understand the progress and policies on
the resettlement and non-agricultural, EMT had a serial meetings with minster Hu of IA, Ms Liu of IA, secretary
Zhang and Ms Li from Changzhou Sub-district, director Li of Rongchang Fenggao Sub-district, and Interviewed
village managers and APs. A timeframe is shown in Table1-1.
As of the end of December 2017, Rongchang subproject has finished the transferring from agricultural to non-
agricultural for the APs, and have completed the transferring of 160 APs vs the planned 160 persons, in which 9 APs
are from Huangjinpo village of Changzhou Sub-district, 92 APs are from Hailuo village, and 59 APs are from
Donghu community of Fenggao Sub-district. And the resettlement compensation fees for all urbanized APs have
been fully paid. EMT has checked with both officers and villagers during survey that there is no any transition
allowance provided by the government (provisional transition allowance of 2,000 yuan/mu in RP).
Up to Dec 2017, all of the APs need to be urbanized in ADB Rongcheng project have been urbanized, 160
persons in total, and resettlement subsidies have been paid. Table3-1 Implementations of Transferring from Agricultural to Non-agricultural in Rongchang Subproject (as of Dec. 2017)

3.1.2 Rongchang non-agricultural Case Study
We found out that the mode of determining the list of APs transferred into non-agricultural and of distributing
compensation fees for village collective land in various villages is very similar after carrying out a household survey
of the community directors, village group leaders and some of villagers of Huangjinpo (only relating to Group 11),
Group 9 of Hailuo Community (since the villagers of Group 8 have bought new houses somewhere, even the current
location of the village committee is unknown) and Donghu Community of Fenggao Sub-district (Group 2, 3 and 4).
Since there are many APs in Hailuo Community who were transferred into non-agricultural, we selected Group 9 of
Hailuo Community of Changzhou Sub-district for our case study, and the community’s Director Li, village group
leader Ou and some villagers attended the interview meeting.
Figure3.4 Interviewing Group 9 of Hailuo Community
(1) Features of transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural in the Rongchang Rongfeng river project
Two features are as follows:
(i)Rongchang project and Wulong project are similar in that their surrounding areas are overall urbanized. Based
on the land acquisition of different projects, all of the APs will be transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural
eventually, with the difference of one to two years in time.
35
(ii) Most of the APs in Rongchang are not proactive in the transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural. First,
since suburban land is becoming more and more expensive, and the residents in suburban area will receive more
compensation if their land are acquisitioned later, thus most of the APs in the projects do not wish to be transferred
into non-agricultural soon, which is completely contrary to the case of APs proactively pursuing non-agricultural in
such remote areas such as Shizhu and Fuling. Secondly, even young villagers are turned into non-agricultural now,
they have to pay a sum of cash as pension insurance margin to the Social Security Bureau, the younger, the more
payment; Furthermore, they will not receive pension until they become 60 years old, and they can`t get much
benefit in the near future.
(2) The Government determines the policy and the quota of transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural
The Land and Resources Bureau will calculate the per-capita cultivated land (for example X mu). The
agricultural population to be converted into urban status is the sum of the acquired cultivated land area and 0.5 times
the acquired non-cultivated land area divided by the per capita cultivated area of this village before land acquisition,
and then issue a document upon the approval of the municipal government to confirm the said quota for the village
group.
Specific list of APs to be urbanized according to the decision made in the villagers meeting (governmental document and villagers meeting minutes)
Group 9 held villager representative meetings to determine the list of persons to be transferred into non-
agricultural according to the quota as issued by the government. Three basic principles are to be generally followed
at the time of confirming the list of people entitled to be urbanized.
(i)Direct transferring: an AP will be transferred into non-agricultural if his land acquisitioned is no less than
the per capital level in the village group.;
(ii)In case that an AP’s acquisitioned land area fails to meet direct transferring requirements, the AP will
hold discussions with other villagers to make due adjustments through negotiation.
If villager A wants the quota for non-agricultural, but his acquisitioned land area fails to meet direct
transferring requirements, he needs to consult with villager B; he shall either buy villager B’s acquisitioned land in
cash to meet the “direct transferring” requirement, or conduct land replacement to reach an agreement; however,
Rongfeng River project has the aforesaid two features; it was found out by EMT’s survey that, the villagers, after
their own negotiation has been made, have neither provided compensation in cash nor replaced land because
everyone will be basically transferred into non-agricultural within one or two years.
(iii)Elders and children having the priority to be transferred into non-agricultural
Children aged below 16 may receive RMB35,000 of resettlement compensation directly when being transferred
into non-agricultural; and elders aged no less than 60 can enjoy pension immediately when being transferred into
non-agricultural; therefore, both elders and children can enjoy the benefits resulting from such transferring
immediately. The villagers aged below 60 will have to pay a big amount of pension insurance margin, and will not
36
receive their pension until becoming 60 years old. In additions, EMT has been told that there is no any priority for
vulnerable group on non-agricultural issues.
Here is an example case. The Group 9 of Hailuo Community in the Rongchang subproject held a villager
representative meeting in Dec. 2015 (quota for transferring APs into non-agricultural is 27 persons). According to
the above mentioned principles, the list of persons to be transferred into non-agricultural was determined in the
collective villager meeting, and each attendee made his fingerprint to confirm his consent. The specific list of
persons and fingerprints see the figure below.
Figure3.5 Specific List of 27 Persons of Group 9 of Hailuo Community for Transferring into Non-agricultural
(3) Announcing the list of persons transferred into non-agricultural and registered in the governmental social
security registration system
After the formal list of persons transferred into non-agricultural has been submitted by the village group, it
shall be submitted to the social security bureau upon governmental approval; after necessary formalities have been
fulfilled, those persons can receive their pensions.
37
(4) Resettlement compensation to be paid by the government to APs who were transferred into non-agricultural
(i)Amount of paid resettlement subsidy: pension insurance margin payable by people of various ages shall be
deducted from their personal resettlement subsidy, and the remaining resettlement subsidy shall be paid to the AP.
The resettlement subsidy for the AP is RMB 35,000 per person. The specific amount of pension insurance
payable by each urbanized person also varies based on his age group, as shown in the Fig.3.3 below. Take a 56-year-
old woman transferred into non-agricultural for example, she need to pay 19850 yuan from the resettlement subsidy
and she can receive the remaining 15,150 (RMB). She can get 500yuan pension each month.
Figure 3.6 Standards for Payment of Basic Pension Insurance Margin by APs who were transferred into Non-Agricultural
(ii)Time for the APs to Receive Related Compensation and Pension
After the list of persons to be urbanized is approved, the pension for those persons will be paid to their accounts
at specified time on a monthly basis; generally, it will take 9 to 12 months for them to start receiving social pension
after the said list has been approved. However, the social pension shall be calculated starting from the time when the
quota of urbanized AP has been approved by the government, and be paid accordingly.

3.1.3 Rongchang Vulnerable Groups Case
(1)Affected person Ao Zhiyou in Rongchang Rongfeng flood prevention and bank protection project
This affected person, 50 years old, in Fenggao Village of Rongchang County, is a villager in the second
community of Donghu. The reason to survey this villager is that there are two people in the family including his son
of 12 years old and himself. Ao originally owned 4 mu of dry land and 0.1 mu of dry land was acquired. Before land
acquisition, his annual income was 8,000 yuan, among which 4,000 yuan was agricultural incomes and 4,000 yuan
was from other short-term jobs.
In the first survey, it can be found that the land acquisition did not have a negative impact on Ao Zhiyou's life.
He earned some money by working for the logistics department of the land acquisition project, which helped his
annual income to reach 10,000 yuan after the land acquisition.
The second (this) survey found that the land acquisition and resettlement related to AO Zhiyou has completed.
However, he has suffered from lumbar disc protrusion and a perennial pain in his knees. Hence, he was no longer
able to do heavy works, causing a poverty-stricken family circumstance.
In the April of 2016, he received a compensation of more than 40,000 RMB from another national project (not
ADB project). His son has transferred from agricultural residence to the non-agricultural residence during this
national project and also should get a resettlement subsidy of 35,000 RMB according to the standards. However, his
son still has not obtained this compensation after putting forward the name list. He is renting his relatives’ houses.
Since he is neither doing farm nor working outside, he can just live on the land compensation and housing
compensation currently. After consulting him and the relevant responsible officers, it is clear that Ao has not been
included in any minimum living guarantee system or subsistence allowances, etc
According to previous survey, the poverty of AO Zhiyou’s family is caused by many factors: the loss of work
ability due to illness; the imperfection of the social security system including poverty assistance and subsistence
allowances. And his son’s compensations fee (35,000 RMB) for the transfer from agricultural to non-agricultural
should be issued as soon as possible. In the future projects, the relevant departments should consider transferring
him from agricultural to non-agricultural so that he could get basic social security subsidies every month when he
reaches retirement age.
EMT has reported to CQPMO on Ao Zhiyou’s difficult issue in last survey.
In this survey, as explained by the IA, Ao Zhiyou erected a greenhouse in the red line temporarily, but his land
is not involved in the land acquisition of this ADB project. His son has received resettlement subsidy fee and his
living condition has been improved comparing to the situation before. Ao Zhiyou’s main incomes are resettlement
compensation and part-time jobs. The main expenditure of the family is regular living domestics.
(2) Affected household Shi Xianyu: according to this survey towards the affected person, Shi Xinyu from
Group 9 of Hailuo Village lives a hard life and needs major support. Shi Xinyu of 85 years old, suffering from
glaucoma, has transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural when highway was built. She has an only Child Yang
Xiujun of 41 years old. Yang Xiujun is an ex-soldier who is unable to do heavy work due to his serious illness on
the waist. He works at part-time at Rongchang for now. Shi Xianyu’s daughter-in-law is 30 years old with worse
39
vision and she basically has no work ability. Besides, Shi Xianyu has a granddaughter of 5 years old. All incomes of
the family rely on Yang Xiujun’s parttime work and Shi Xianyu’s pension from agricultural to non-agricultural.
According to the survey, the family’s annual income is 30,000yuan but with large living expenses. Shi Xianyu needs
to take medicine, not to mention her son and daughter-in-law. Besides, her granddaughter is in kindergarten.
Therefore, it’s suggested to list Shi Xianyu as the major support person and apply for poverty subsidy for her.

3.2 Fuling Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project
The urbanization policy in Fuling is basically the same as that in Rongchang.
Contract A of Fuling has over 20 mu collective woodland, and per-capita area of cultivated land is different in
the affected group. There are two main forms to confirm indexes of people transferred from agricultural to the non-
agricultural: 1) there is one quota when land acquisition is larger than per-capita cultivated land. If there is one quota
for transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural, equivalently, there is one quota for it for 2 mu woodland. 2)
Internal coordination of villagers: if per- capita cultivated land in village Group is 0.8 mu and the land acquisitioned
of farmer A is 0.6 mu, Farmer A needs to discuss with the other villagers ( for example Farmer B) to purchase
0.2mu land to apply for one non-agricultural quota.. Since resettlement subsidy for per person in Fuling is
35,000yuan, according to the rule, Farmer A needs to pay 7,000yuan to Farmer B for 0.2 mu purchasing.
For Contract B of Fuling, indexes for transferring from agricultural residence to the non-agricultural residence
are under estimation. As different per-capita cultivated land in each production group, it will be divided according to
groups. The Land and Resources Bureau is identifying the per-capita cultivated land area of group one by one. The
specific time to approve the indexes has not been decided yet said by the officers. As known by the EMT, the list of
transferring from agricultural residence to the non-agricultural residence will be decided by the villager conference.
40
If permission for transferring from agricultural to the non-agricultural residence takes longer time to be
approved, it will delay the villagers’ commencement time for receiving social insurance for transferring from
agricultural to non-agricultural.
The detailed numbers of urbanized APs is being processed. EMT will follow up in next report.
3.3 Wanzhou Water Supply Subprojects
No non-agricultural people are affected by resettlement.
3.4 Chengkou County Urban and Rural Road Reconstruction Project
3.4.1 Non-agricultural Progress
No plan for the affected people transferring from agricultural residence to the non-agricultural residence.
3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies
Tang Hongyou: The affected person, a villager of the fourth group in Yinghong village of Yanhe townships in
Chengkou County, there are four people in Tang’s family. He originally owned 4 mu of dry land, 10 mu of forest
land and 4 mu of other land and 1.3 mu of dry land, 1 mu of forest land and 3 mu of other land were requisitioned.
Before land acquisition, its annual income was 8,500 yuan, among which were 4,500 yuan of agricultural income
and 4,000 yuan of other income. The first survey showed that land acquisition didn’t have negative impacts on
Tang’s production and life, for there was no obvious decline but improvement in living standards. After land
acquisition, the annual income reached 10,000 yuan, higher than before and the main source of which are farming、
work away from hometown and government land compensation. The living standard is improved instead of
declining. Tang Hongyou is very satisfied with the resettlement as well as the compensation for land acquisition.
According to second survey, we found that the implementation of the project did not have a negative impact on
Tang Hongyou's production and life. Tang Hongyou obtained interest-free petty loan of 70,000 yuan for planting
and poultry feeding. The current economic situation has gradually improved; the annual income has reached 12,000
yuan. The main source of income in two ways, one is farming and poultry feeding, another is work out of home. We
noticed that his living standard was improved in the third survey. The main source of income is running motorcycle
taxi, land compensation and son's earnings. His family’s annual income has increased to 30,000 Yuan, higher than
his previous income. Tang's family spends about 25,000 yuan a year mainly in daily life and medical expense. It is
understood that Tang Hongyou and his family are more supportive of this project. The fourth survey showed that Tang Hongyou has received compensation for house demolition and makes
profits from driving motorcycle in daily life. However, Tang still wants to apply for the minimum living guarantee
41
subsistence allowance since Tang’s mother is disabled, old and sick. His appeal is under discussion and coordination.
Except the compensation for house demolition, his annual income does not change much.
Zhao Bingkui: The affected person, a villager of the sixth group in Yinghong village of Yanhe townships in
Chengkou County, belongs to poor household of the village. There are four people in Zhao’s family. He originally
owned 9 mu of dry land, 20 mu of forest land and 3 mu of other land and 1.7mu of dry land, 2 mu of forest land and
1 mu of other land were requisitioned. Before land acquisition, its annual income was 4,000 yuan, the major source
of which were part-time jobs and children subsidies, almost no negative impact on his production and life according
to the first survey, while the annual income reached 8,000 yuan after land acquisition, enjoying a dramatically
increase, for Zhao Bingkui and his family took part in the training activities organized by the county project office,
such as poultry feeding and car washing. He tried to raise more home-feed chickens. As said that it not only had
little influence on the production and life, but also further improved the living standard owing to the improvement of
the skills after training. In the second survey, we found that the implementation of the project did not have a
negative impact on Zhao Bingkui's production and life. At present, his family found the opportunity to work outside
for some odd jobs, 1200yuan per month. By farming, chicken feeding and working out of home, the annual income
estimated will be reached 10000 yuan. Zhao's family spends about 5000 yuan a year mainly in daily life and medical
expense. In the third survey, the main source of income is farming and son's earnings. His annual income from
farming is about 10,000 Yuan. His son can earn about 40,000 yuan a year. The project did not have any negative
impact on his family's life, even improved it. Accordingly, Zhao Bingkui and his family are all supportive of this
project. The fourth survey showed that Zhao Bingkui’s mother is old and sick, and his wife is a deaf. And his legs
have injury due to traffic accident. Income of the family relays on his son’s working outside, agricultural products
and cultivation of his own. Main expenses of the family are for daily life and medicines. The family’s income does
not change much. The project did not have any negative impact on his family's life, even improved it because of
land compensation.
3.5 Wulong River Flood Control Project
All of the residents will be transferred from agricultural to the non-agricultural gradually because of the overall
urbanization in the project area. The situations of three agriculture villages involved in land acquisition situations
are different: (1)Wachangba village has completed land acquisition and completed arrangements of people transferred from
agricultural to the non-agricultural before the ADB project starting;
(2)Zhangjiaqi village has completed land acquisition before the ADB project starting as well, but, it does not
take the mode of “taking social insurance by transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural”. It takes
comprehensive cash compensation once for all, which is that the compensation standard is higher than the one set up
for “taking social insurance by transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural”;
42
(3)Only Wujiaping land acquisition was conducted after ADB project starting. The approved quota of people
transferring from agricultural to the non-agricultural is sufficient for the original villagers affected and all could
apply for transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural. However, it becomes insufficient anymore at present due
to new populations because of marriage and newborns. The villagers have held several village conferences to
discuss the urbanized scheme, but did not reach an agreement so far. The Land Development Dept. of the IA has
urged the village to submit the names of the residences to be urbanized ASAP in order to pay their resettlement
subsidy fees soon. (4)Because of overall urbanization of the surrounding area, either land acquisition of ADB project and other
projects could not be separated, or people transferring from agricultural residence to non-agricultural residence.
Currently, land acquisition center is dividing and identifying affected people and population of people transferred
from agricultural to the non-agricultural, which will be expected to complete by the end of Feb. 2018, said by the
land acquisition officer.
(5)EMT has interviewed the villagers and village leaders, even the village committee director cannot recognize
which villagers are for ADB project. The name list of people to be transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural
is determined through villager meeting is a popular way in Wulong.
(6)There are 77 people in URP to be transferred from agricultural to the non-agricultural. It is predicted that the
land acquisition center will complete separation of people transferred from agricultural to the non-agricultural by the
end of Feb. 2018. It would be fine to have the latest data on the transferring in next report.
(7)According to the latest survey, there are two main forms for determining the number of farmers to be
urbanized in Wulong. One is direct turning: if more than 0.6 mu of land is acquisitioned, there will be one non-
agricultural quota. Another form is the discussion between farmers: such as A in the group where the average per-
capita cultivated land is 0.6 mu, if A is only acquisitioned 0.4 mu of land, A needs to negotiate with B, it is
necessary to purchase 0.2 mu of B to meet the lowest requirement for urbanization policy. They do not take the land
replacement way because there is less per-capita arable land in project area.

3.6 Shizhu County Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project
3.6.1 Non-agricultural Progress
According to the measures made in the resettlement plan, people who loss more lands will accept arrangement
of transferring from agricultural residence to the non-agricultural residence so as to solve some problems of living.
In updated RP, Shizhuzi project planned to arrange 199 people for transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural;
according to the latest monitoring by EMT, Shizhuzi project has arranged 166 people for transferring from
agricultural to non-agricultural. The detailed numbers are shown in below Table3-2. Table3-2 Status of transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural in Shizhuzi land acquisition project

3) Only one person transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural in Yuchi Town: Xu Yongfa from
Huangjin Village. 25 people in 5 households are affected by Shizhu road subproject. Xu Yongfa was chosen as
the one transferred from agricultural to the non-agricultural is because among all the affected people, his land
acquisition was the most. Considering most of his land acquisition was woodland and he is old and sick, the
committee chose him as the people transferred from agricultural to the non-agricultural.
3.6.2 Shizhu non-agricultural Case Study
By surveying Huangshui Town (only involving Dachuan group and Jinhua Village) and Yuelai Town (Yuelai
Village and Xincheng Village), Secretary Qin in Huangshui Town, Director Tan in Huangshui Committee, Director
Ran in Yuelai Town, Secretary Ma in Xincheng Village and some villagers, ways to decide people transferred from
agricultural to non-agricultural are similar in each village (group or association). The three ways to decide people
transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural are “direct transferring”, “flexible transferring” and “negotiation
transferring” by dividing the village to groups. The number of people transferred from agricultural to non-
agricultural is more in Xincheng Village so we choose Qinglong group of Xincheng Village to study the case.
Director Ma in Xincheng Village, other leaders of the village committee and some villages have attended to the
conference.
46
Figure 3.11 Interview in Qinglong group Xincheng Village and Dachuan group in Huangshui town
(1) Features of transferring to non-agricultural in Shizhu road project
Three features: (i) Per-capita cultivated land area in Shizhu Village is different from the one in other villages like
Rongchang, etc. The one in Rongchang is about 0.5-0.6 mu, while the one in Shizhu village is over 1mu. Besides,
Per-capita cultivated land area in different groups of Shizhu Village is also very different. For example, the one in
Qinglong group of Xincheng village is 2.4mu, while the one in Gucheng group is only 1.68 mu.
(ii) Villages are willing to transfer from agricultural to non- agricultural. Because of high altitude, poor land, low
land output value and low income in Shizhu village, villagers will have urban social insurance after they transferred
from agricultural to non- agricultural so their basic life will be guaranteed. (iii) Another special type of transferring from agricultural to non- agricultural is so called “flexible transferring”,
namely, when villager A’s land has been acquired, but his cultivated land area is less than 0.5mu, one quota for
transferring from agricultural to non- agricultural will be given to him according to Chongqing policy. Generally,
“flexible transferring” takes longer time since it takes time to calculate and verify evidences.
(2) Governmental decides indexes of people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural
The Land and Resources Bureau calculates per capita cultivated land area as X mu according to the rural
population in all groups and lands of all the groups. The agricultural population to be converted into urban status is
47
the sum of the acquired cultivated land area and 0.5 times the acquired non-cultivated land area divided by the per
capita cultivated area of this village before land acquisition.. Than the indexes could be confirmed after the superior
government has approved and issued document.
(3) Decide name list of people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural by the villager meetings.
Villager representative conference is held to confirm the name list of people transferred from agricultural to non-
agricultural according to the indexes issued by the government. Generally, there are four basic rules for deciding it:
(i) Direct transferring: one index for transferring to non-agricultural will be produced when AP’s land
acquisition ≥per capita cultivated land (mu);
(ii) Negotiation transferring: In case that AP’s acquisitioned land area fails to meet direct transferring
requirements, the villagers could negotiation voluntarily to purchase the shortfall land area;
For example, if villager A wants the quota of people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural, but his
land acquisition area does not reach the area required in the “direct transferring”, A needs to negotiate with B and
buy B’s land acquisition quota so as to reach the conditions of “direct transferring”. A and B could reach an
agreement by land replacement or cash compensation. Take another look at it, if per-capita cultivated land of farmer
A’s group is 2 mu, but only 1.5 mu of A has been acquired. Farmer A needs to negotiate with farmer B (also land
acquired) in case that he wants the non- agricultural index and buy 0.5 mu from farmer B. Since resettlement
compensation for transferring agricultural to non-agricultural in Shizhu village is 36,000yuan/person, 18,000yuan
for the one mu land, farmer A needs to pay 9000yuan to farmer B. In special case such as Qinglong group,
additional 6000yuan/mu should be paid to farmer B by farmer A in terms of negotiation as shown in Figure3.12.
These agreements are reached by APs voluntarily.
When deciding quota of people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural in Yuelai Town, they uses this
method and sign an agreement as follows:
1) Xincheng Village
48

(iii)Priority for the old people and children to transfer from agricultural to non- agricultural
It is related to the issue of resettlement compensation. Children under 16 years old could directly receive
36,000yuan resettlement fees after they have transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural; while the old people
over 60 years old could enjoy the endowment insurance as soon as they have transferred from agricultural to non-
agricultural. Besides, the resettlement fees for the old over 60 years old shall deduct the lesser personal payable
insurance fees. Therefore, the old people and the children could enjoy profits brought by the non-agricultural status.
(iv)Flexible transferring: According to EMT survey, the flexible transferring is used in Chongqing. An
AP can be transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural if his remaining land after land acquisition is less than
0.5mu and upon approval by the authority.
On Nov 30, 2017, Shizhu subproject has confirmed the name list of people transferred from agricultural to non-
agricultural as decided by the villager conferences. The villagers could check out in the Shizhu compensation affairs
center in case of any questions. The name list is indicated as the aforesaid. The name list of flexible transferring is
being calculated in Shizhu.
(4) Name list of the announced people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural and registration
system of governmental archived social insurance
The official name list of non- agricultural will be announced to the public after it has been approved by the
government when the groups have officially report to the government. The name list will be uploaded to the social
insurance system if there is no question about it. People on the name list could take the social insurance after all
relevant registration procedures are completed.
51
(5) The government issues resettlement compensation fees for people transferred from agricultural to non-
agricultural
1)Amount: the resettlement subsidy fees should deduct payable social insurance fees of people in different ages,
and the rest of the amount will be paid to the person. Resettlement compensation fee for one urbanized AP is 36,000yuan in Shizhu. According to different ages and
sex of APs, personal payable social insurance fee is different as well. As indicated in the following Figure3.20, take
the 56-year-old female transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural for example, the personal receivable
resettlement compensation fee =36,000-19,850=16,150yuan after she paid 19,850yuan for the personal payable
social insurance. She could get pension of 500 yuan/month as urbanized resident at present according to Chongqing
policy in 2008 and 2009 ),
Figure 3.20 Payment standards for new ones transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural to take the basic endowment insurance in Shizhu
2)Time of remitting
After the list of persons to be transferred into non-agricultural has been approved, the resettlement
compensation fees for urbanized APs will be remitted into their accounts at specified time on a monthly basis;
generally, it will take about 2 months for them to start receiving social insurance after the said list has been
submitted. However, the social insurance shall be calculated starting from the time when the quota for transferring
52
into non-agricultural has been approved by the government, and be paid accordingly. The government will reissue
the social insurance of this period.
3.6.3 Vulnerable Group Case Studies(Tujia minority)
Peng Mingxiang: This affected person is from Dachuan group of Huangshui village, Huangshui Town in
Shizhu County. There are two registered persons in PENG Mingxiang’s household census registration, namely,
PENG Mingxiang (58 years old) and her second son RAN Junwei. RAN Junwei is 30 years old, unmarried and
working away from hometown for many years and has not given this elderly any living expenses. RAN Mengqun
(58 years old), PENG Mingxiang’s husband, used to be a worker of HUANGLIAN Company. Since the State-
owned enterprise reformed in 1995, he has laid off and been engaged in agriculture. He was transferred from the
agricultural residence to the non-agricultural residence, and he was separated from his family household census
registration. So the population in PENG Mingxiang’s family is actually 3, namely, PENG Mingxiang, her husband
and her second son. Her other children married have their own families. And their family financial circumstances are
not optimistic and do not give much assistance to this elderly either. Peng Mingxiang originally had 5 mu of dry land, 2 mu of forest land and 6 mu of paddy field. Her 0.8 mu of dry
land and 2 mu of paddy field were acquired. Before land acquisition, the annual income was 5,000 yuan, and the
major source was farming.
The first survey revealed that Peng Mingxiang bought a couple of piglets with the land acquisition fee.
Meanwhile, they raised 30 chickens and 20 ducks. The annual income reached 8,000 yuan after land acquisition,
higher than before, enjoying an obvious increase according to the survey. Basically, no big difference in the second
survey (this time) compared with the previous one. Her husband has been farming at home since 1995. According to
her saying, her husband could get the minimum monthly retirement pension 1,200 yuan when he reaches 60 years
old in 2018. And then their family financial circumstances will get a further improvement.
In this survey, Peng Mingxiang plants goldthread at present and her husband has get retirement pension from
2018. Only Peng in her family could transfer from agricultural to non- agricultural. According to the requirements
for people transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural, one quota will be given when the land acquisition is over
1.39mu. However, Peng Mingxiang does not have sufficient land acquisitioned. She obtained the non-agricultural
index after negotiating with other farmers. Peng Mingxiang’s leg was injured and in recovery currently. The annual
income of her family is over 17,000 yuan, which is obviously improved than before. Now, both Peng Mingxiang and
her husband is urbanized resident, their daily living can be guaranteed and improved greatly.
Wang Zhongying: This affected person is from Jintai group of Jinhua village, Huangshui Town in Shizhu
County. There are four persons in WANG Zhongying’s household, WANG Zhongying (54 years old), XU
Zhengwen (52 years old) and 2 grandsons. Their two sons were dead by disease. Farming is their only income. The
land acquisition did not have a negative impact on her family's life. Her forest land have been acquired and got
compensation, so they can still grow crops. Before the land acquisition, the main income is farming and part-time
53
working outside. Their annual income is about 10,000 yuan. Without part time working outside, the annual income
is only 4000 yaun. Now land compensation is their new source of income. We found out that the affected household WANG’s family is really poor, and the situation is quite special. It is
suggested that the local government and the village community should include them in the scope of the poverty
assistance and provide poverty allowance. WANG took an active part in skill training including pepper planting and
water shield planting held by Shizhu Women Federation. In the latest survey, Wang’s main incomes are from crops and poverty subsidy (on education and medicine). In
addition, Wang Zhongying also got all of the land compensation. Her family’s life has been improved. The living
expenses are mainly basic living expenses and education cost on two grandsons. As we knew, all members in her
family are quite supportive to this ADB project since WANG can sell her crops and products on the side of the road
after the road completed.
Ma Peihong: Ma Peihong of 47 years old is a villager in Xincheng Village of Yuelai Town in Shizhu. There
are five people in Ma’s family. Except for the daughter-in-law, Ma has a son, a daughter and a grandson. Ma’s son
married, but devoiced now and works part-time job at the town, not to mention that his daughter is still on high
school. Ma Peihong is the only one could apply for transferring from agricultural to non- agricultural. Ma`s arm is
injured seriously in a traffic accident and cannot take heavy work. His wife is engaged in farming at home. In this
ADB project, 0.8 mu of land has been acquired and 2400yuan land compensation has been received
(15000*0.8*0.2=2400). Considering his special case, the government has provided him with 10,000yuan poverty
subsidy for each member of this family to build a new house. What’s more, the government provides a small loan to
Ma and trains him with breeding pig. He deliveries cargo by driving car to increase income so his family living
standard is largely increased. Currently, by cultivating agricultural products and working outside, the annual income
of Ma Peihong is over 30,000yuan. The main expenses are daily living expenses and traffic expenses. As we knew,
his family is very supportive to the ADB project which is really beneficial to the people.

3.7 Evaluation and Conclusion
(1)On the second half year of 2017, transferring from agricultural to non- agricultural takes a bigger step.
Resettlement compensation for people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural has been completed in
Rongchang. Name list of urbanized APs in Shizhu has been confirmed and the resettlement compensation fees will
be issued before the Spring Festival 2018. Wulong is working on the name list of it, while Fuling is calculating on
the quota of urbanized APs.
(2)People transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural are decided on the villager conference. The village
conference has right to formulate its own rules, discuss on the conference, let everyone give their opinions and keep
this issue fair. Therefore, APs has no disagreement on the compensation policy and ways for people transferred from
agricultural to non- agricultural.
(3)Because per-capita cultivated land is different, standards for people transferred from agricultural to non-
agricultural are very different even in different groups of the same village. In some degree, villagers have some
disagreements, but they can accept the result when government officers explained the policies to them.
(4) During the monitoring, there is no priority policy targeted at the vulnerable people in every area of the
Counties/Districts. The villager conference usually did not give priority to the vulnerable groups, but the
government's anti-poverty policy targeted vulnerable groups.
(5)In rural areas, APs transferred from agricultural to Non-agricultural could have more benefits, mainly in the
following aspects:
1)Non-agricultural households can enjoy the social security such as minimum living allowance,
unemployment insurance, medical insurance, old-age insurance and other social benefits shared by urban residents
as well as other preferential policies related to urban household registration. Especially, the minimum living
allowance and medical insurance of urban residents are higher than rural residents. For example, the minimum
living allowance of urban social security is about 500 yuan /month which is higher than that in rural social security
of 350yuan/month.
55
2)Non-agricultural households have priorities on being employed , house purchasing in city and applying for
low-rent housing.
3)For children's education, non-agricultural household ownership has more options to better school because
the education quality of urban school is generally better than rural school. Non-agricultural children are more likely
to enter better schools.
4) Non-agricultural residents can enjoy urban public services and good medical service.
3.8 Recommendations
Major problems:
1. Compensation for land acquisition and house demolition are paid by IAs to the land acquisition office or village
committee in time, however, the land compensation fees for individual AP are delayed to pay because the land area
identification progress goes very slowly.
2. The government take longer time to estimate and approve indexes for APs transferred from agricultural to non-
agricultural, which delays the time for APs to take social insurance.
3. Many APs are working outside, which makes the village conference can`t be held timely and delays time to
submit the name list.
It’s suggested that the government should put a deadline on each time nodes of land acquisition and compensation.
For example, the land compensation fees shall be issued within 90 days after land acquisition has been completed; or
procedures for people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural shall be completed within 100 days after land
acquisition has been approved. The village meeting should be held and make decision within 40 days after the
government approved the quota of non-agricultural residents, etc.
56
4. Use of Compensation Payments and Subsidies
Collective lands are acquired in Rongchang, Wulong, Shizhu, Fuling and Chengkou. According to Chongqing
policies, 20% of compensation fees for collective land acquisition and 100% of collective young crops will be paid
to the village committee. The villager meetings will discuss how to use this compensation or to distribute it to the
villagers.
4.1 Rongchang RongFeng River Flood Control Comprehensive Renovation
Huangjinpo village and Hailuo community at Changzhou Sub-district, and Donghu community at Fenggao
Sub-district are affected by Rongchang RongFeng River flood control project. Each village has their allocation plan
of compensation fees of collective land. The rules and plans are discussed and formulated on the villager conference,
showing a set of fair allocation rules and the wisdom of groups. Villager representatives agree the decision made on
the conference by pressing fingerprint on the agreement. The following specific cases show the way of each
community to confirm the allocation plan of compensation fees:
4.1.1 Allocation Plan of Compensation Fees of Group11 at Huangjinpo Community of Changzhou Sub-district
The agreement reached by the villager meeting is shown below as an example:
1)Compensation fees for young crops: 7,000yuan/mu for the APs;
2)Land rental and enterprise income are allocated to each villager equally;
3)People from other places (settle down here): the one could get the compensation if his/her household is
registered in rural for three years; their children could get the compensation if their household are register in rural

61
Figure 4.3 Allocation plans of compensation fees of Donghu Community at Fenggao Sub-district
4.2 Fuling Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project
Over 20mu collective woodlands in Yuelai village and Xinjing village of Jiaoshi town were acquired. The
compensation fees for it were not paid to the villagers because the proposed allocation plan was not agreed on the
villager meeting. EMT would keep following up the case in the next phase.
Compensation of contracted land has been paid to the affected farmers directly in terms of the compensation
standards.
4.3 Wanzhou Water Supply Subprojects
No collective land compensation in Wanzhou
4.4 Chengkou County Urban and Rural Road Reconstruction Project
No collective land compensation in Chengkou. According to the survey, the planned subsidy for land quality improvement has been cancelled in Chengkou and there is no new lands provided as well.
4.5 Wulong River Flood Control Project
All of land acquisition compensation of Wulong subproject in Zhangjiaqi has been paid to the villagers. Only a part of the compensation was paid in Wujiaping and some was not paid. Since many villagers moved out, EMT could not get original record of villager conference in regard to issuing plan of collective land compensation fees in this survey, could only collect the relevant information through interviewing the villagers and villager leaders. Similar as the case of Rongchang as surveyed, each group decided the issuing plans and rules of compensation fees
62
根据我们的调查发现,城口并不会提供 new land 或者是 adjust the land.
independently. EMI will keep following up the outstanding issue of collective land compensation fees in
Wulong in the next phase.
4.6 Shizhu County Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project
No public land acquisition is involved in Shizhu project. 20% of land compensation fee has been paid to the
affected villagers directly by town LA office.
4.7 Evaluation and Conclusion
(1)Compensation allocation mode of collective land in Rongchang basically represents the entire allocation
modes in Chongqing. Huangjinpo village and Hailuo community at Changzhou Sub-district, as well as Hailuo
community at Fenggao Sub-district had held villager representative conferences; and the collective land acquisition
compensation allocation schemes were confirmed on the conference. They made their own rules, discussed together,
gave personal opinions and kept it fair, etc. Consequently, Rongchang APs did not have disagreement on the
compensation policies and mode for people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural.
(2)The affected person in Fuling did not have a clear vision towards boundary of collective land acquisitioned, so
the compensation allocation scheme was not agreed by all representatives at the villager representative conferences.
Consequently, collective land acquisition compensation fees for Section B of Fuling have not been paid to villagers
so far.
(3)In Chengkou, the land acquisition is keeping pace with the construction progress. 100% of land compensation
will be gradually paid to the affected farmers by town LA office. 40% of land compensation has not yet been paid
to the affected farmers so far.
(4) No public land is acquisitioned in the Shizhu. 20% of Individual land compensation is paid to the affected
farmers by the town government directly.
4.8 Recommendations
1)Fuling subproject: it’s suggested that the land acquisition and house demolition office shall assist the
farmers to confirm their collective land boundary, and the village committee shall give a more reasonable
compensation allocation scheme and hold a villager meeting again so as to pay the fees to villagers ASAP.
2) The payment mode of collective land compensation in Wulong is similar as that in Fuling, the only
difference is that part of compensation in Wulong has been distributed to villagers. It is not very easy to hold a
villager meeting because most of villagers have move to other places. It is proposed that Wulong Land Office assists
the village officers to settle down the dispute on some collective forestland and come up with a reasonable
distribution plan as soon as possible.
63
3) It is a better way that paying to affected farmers directly by the town LA office. It has been proved if the
village leader pays more effort on land disputes between farmers will greatly improve the resettlement progress.
The EMT is impressive with the works of village leaders in Shizhu. We suggest that the village leaders in
Chengkou should pay more attention and give guidance on resettlement and land compensation of affected
villagers.
64
5. Skills Training, Job Creation and Other Income Restoration Measures
The possible impacts of the land acquisition on the local population:
(1) Permanent land acquisition may result in the reduction of productions goods, which can thus reduce
income;
(2) Housing demolition can cause many families to lose their residence, but self-building or purchasing new
houses may cause a serious burden, resulting in decreased quality of life;
(3) Temporary occupation of land causes failure to cultivate crops and thus brings much loss;
(4) During the construction, the running vehicles, construction noise and damage to infrastructure, etc. can
bother residents' original life
5.1 Rongchang RongFeng River Flood Control Comprehensive Renovation
1)Land acquisition in Rongchang is less and Rongchang’s urbanization is higher. Besides, the young people
prefer working outside. Consequently, ADB project has little influence on the affected person. Meanwhile,
Rongchang government takes an active part in organizing training, providing house repair subsidy, industry
assistance, small loan, local labor employment during construction and other recovery measures to guarantee living.
2)Rongchang has held four technical trainings in 2017, led by the Social Security Bureau and local
professional school. People could participate in the training voluntarily. Cooking, nursing training, car repairing and
other skill trainings were held, attracting 178 people, out of which, 130 were female, which takes 73%. The training
fees were paid to the training school by the government when the trainees are finished their courses.
3)There is no specified trainings for the affected people particularly, so it is difficult to collect training data of
the APs.
4)The construction unit hires local labors to participate in construction of the project to increase their incomes.
5.2 Fuling Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project
1)The project has little impact on the life of local people because the outside work is the main income rather
than crops cultivation . It is known that the local people are very supportive to Fuling road project. In order to
mitigate the adverse impacts of the project on the villagers whose land has been acquired, the following main
measures are used including subsidizing poor households in planting mustard and breeding chickens, In the policy of
poverty alleviation, the leading agricultural enterprises should give priority to the land transfer from poor
households to help them to get out of poverty, and give priority to the land pooling of poor households, 40% of the
agricultural industry subsidies of leading group is appointed as the premium of the poor households, providing
50,000yuan petty loan to poor households with mortgage-free and guarantee-free and support policies, such as
65
finance interest subsidy, basic living allowance "fallback", medical assistance, aid and employment for poor students,
industrial poverty alleviation, Alpine eco-poverty alleviation relocation, employment of local labor during
construction.
2)In the second half of 2017, 1 skill training, 2 poverty alleviation activities and 2 care activities for women
and left behind children were held in Fuling to help local unemployed people and migrant employed people to solve
employment problems and provide help on family . Led by the village committee, women's federation and other
organizations, a total of 314 people were attracted, including 227 women, accounting for 72%.
3)Three AIDS epidemic prevention campaigns were held in 2017, attracting 378 people, including 220
women, accounting for 58%.
4)There is no training specifically for the villagers affected by government. Therefore, it is difficult to collect
the training data of affected people.
5.3 Wanzhou water supply subprojects
No training activities and poverty alleviation work is involved in Wanzhou project.
5.4 Chengkou County Urban and Rural Road Reconstruction Project
1)The land acquisition of Chengkou subproject has little impact on the life of local people. The Poverty
Alleviation Office have the following livelihood restoration measures for the poor households and affected people
including education subsidy for children of poor families, employment of local labor force during the construction
period, petty loan, training for mountain chicken breeding, creating rural tourism poverty alleviation industry.
2)In 2017, a total of 1 skill training and 8 poverty alleviation activities were held in Chengkou. According to
local agricultural characteristics and regional situation, mountain chicken breeding, e-commerce skills training, petty
loan and other activities are provided. Led by the village committee, Social Security Bureau and other organizations,
a total of 535 people were attracted, including 270 women, accounting for 50%.
3)There is no training specifically for the villagers affected. Therefore, it is difficult to collect the training
data of affected people.
4)The project hires local labor as much as possible to increase their income.
5.5 Wulong River Flood Control Project
1)Basically, the land acquisition of Wulong subproject has no impact on the basic daily life of local people.
Like Rongchang, Wulong has a high degree of urbanization, and the villagers are basically working out and no
longer farming. Wulong Government has also taken some livelihood recovery measures and poverty alleviation
work, such as alpine ecological poverty alleviation and relocation, improving traffic roads, rural drinking water
projects, industrial skills training, supporting poor households to develop the agricultural industry. For the poor
66
households who borrow petty loans to develop the agricultural industry, each household will enjoy the interest
subsidy of 2,500yuan.
2)In 2017, a total of 2 targeted poverty alleviation conferences, 2 pension insurance conferences and 1
medical insurance activity were held in Wulong, which ensures that the quality of the life of the local poor and the
elderly can be improved, and the corresponding guarantee can be obtained when seeking medical treatment. Led by
the village committee, Social Security Bureau and other organizations, a total of 290 people were attracted,
including 147 women, accounting for 50%.
3)Three AIDS epidemic prevention campaigns were held in 2017, attracting 170 people, including 72 women,
accounting for 42%.
4)There is no training specifically for the villagers affected by local government. Therefore, it is difficult to
collect the training data of affected people.
5)The project hires local labor as much as possible to increase their income.
5.6 Shizhu County Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project
1)To promote the employment of the affected ethnic minority villagers in the project area and increase their
economic income, the government poverty alleviation office has adopted the following livelihood restoration
measures, including establishing agricultural products or other joint-stock companies in the form of land transfer/
cash stock, the year-end bonus of farmers is not less than 4%; farmers carry out special agricultural products
planting, and the agency orders uniformly, with 3,500 yuan of the annual income per mu; interest-subsidized petty
loans to support and encourage farmers to start their own businesses temporary workers, farmers participate in the
nearby construction, transportation, homemaking, tourism; organizing a variety of housekeeping, tourism,
construction technology, planting technology, catering training, road repairing.
2)In 2017, a total of 7 skill trainings were held in Shizhu. Shizhu ethnic minority project area is rich in natural
ecological vegetables and fruits such as water shield and pear. Through the development of water shield cultivation
training, coptis cultivation training, walnut planting training, peucedanum praeruptorum dunn and turmeric
cultivation training, housekeeping training by the local ethnic minority, it not only promotes the development of
local characteristic industries and tourism, but also further improves the local financial revenue, the income level of
the residents, the living conditions and employment environment for ethnic minorities in the project area. Led by the
village committee, Social Security Bureau and other organizations, a total of 735 people were attracted, including
459 women, accounting for 62%, 603 ethnic minorities, accounting for 82%.
3)The construction of Shizhu project hires local labor as much as possible to increase their income.
5.7 Evaluation and Conclusion
Each project area has carried out corresponding measures to meet the poverty alleviation activities according to
its own situation and characteristics. The quality of life of the residents has been improved in all aspects. Not just the
67
financial help be provided, some life skills shall be imparted more from the long-term point of view to maintain the
long-term life and sustainable development of the residents.
In all district s/counties involved in ADB projects, the construction units said that most of unskilled labors
during construction are local residents and the wages were set by all districts /counties and settled on a monthly
basis. Because women are weak in physical strength and must take care of the old and children, women are provided
with the jobs such as cleaning, greening and logistics. Wages will not be different because of gender differences. For
the employment of the local labor force in each project, see (Table 5-1).
Existing problems: for some training, the villagers want to add practical opportunities to practice. Taking
welding as the example, after short-term training, it cannot actually used for work. If some opportunities to work in
the factory for 2 months can be introduced, the trainer can be easy to apply for the job after the internship. Table5-1 Actual employment of local labors in each project (as of July 2017 to Jan 2018)

5.8 Recommendations
In the future, we can also start from the following aspects to reduce the negative impact:
(1)To give villagers more opportunities for sustainable development by combining the national targeted poverty
alleviation policies and various policies of rural revitalization, such as fixed purchase, farming with stock,
development of special breeding with petty loan.
(2)To hire local affected people as far as possible in late project management and maintenance work to increase
their income as much as possible;
68
(3)To invite the affected people to participate in skills training held in different districts and counties as much as
possible, especially the long-term internship opportunities and provide them with employment opportunities at the
same time;
(4)To reduce the living expenses of local residents by improving infrastructure, including public transport, water
safety, electricity, rural e-commerce, communication, medical and health, culture and education to reduce the living
cost of the affected people.
6. Public Participation, Complaint Handling
6.1 Public Participation
(1)Announcement of Project Related Information
In the second half year of 2017,Contract B of Chengkou subproject and Contract B of Fuling subproject have
been started construction. The IA and contractor as well as the villager committee hold a villager assembly to inform
the villagers of such issues as land acquisition, construction, traffic safety, environmental protection, local labor
employment and contacting person during the construction period and set up corresponding signs and warnings on
the construction site.
(2)Field Investigation and Questionnaire Investigation
The EMT has made surveys to the counties and villages in the project area. The survey is mainly concentrated
into the affected villager groups and enterprises. The contents of this survey included the situation of the affected
villages, the social economic situation of affected group, the real situation of current road, flood prevention and
control, the understanding of the project by the affected people, the local road traffic situation, water price and flood
situation and the influence of the project to the residents as well as their opinions and recommendations to the
project.
(3)Focus Group Discussion
As of Jan 2018, according to incomplete statistics, the total number of public participation in projects already
under construction has reached 4365 persons, of which 2361 were female, accounting for 54% of the total
participants. Focus on the project area residents on the project expectations, needs and suggestions.
The accumulative total number of public participation totaled 11,575, of which 5933 were women, accounting
for 51% of the total number of participants.
(4)Stakeholders Meetings
Stakeholder symposium carried out in the project area including direct or indirect project influencers (such as
men, women, minority people and poor people), executing agencies, implementing agencies, project offices, poverty
69
alleviation agencies, training institutions. A total of 10 meetings were conducted by the relevant government sectors.
In figure 6.1-6.8, Minister Hu, Secretary Zhang and Director Li of Rongchang Changzhou inhabitant resettlement,
Minister Guo of Migration Department of Shizhu Construction Bureau, Secretary Qin and director Tan of
Huangshui town, Director Ran and Secretary Ma of Yuelai Town, Engineering Pang of Fuling land acquisition and
house demolition office, Director Li Chunsheng of Wanzhou, director Ran of Chengkou land acquisition and house
demolition office, and contractor managers of Shizhu project.
At the same time, special attention is paid to the role of women, to the needs of them and their families, so as to
give full play to the role of women in the implementation of inhabitant resettlement. The EMT found in the area
affected by the project that as most men worked in cities, the heavy burden of agricultural production fell on women.
Therefore, in the area affected, women have played a very important role in farming and other non-agricultural
production. They not only actively participated in all stages of land acquisition and resettlement, but also played an
important role in public consultation, trainings, communication and public activities.

6.2 Complaints and Grievances
The complaint channels, coordinately solving and arbitration for all subprojects are in the same ways. The general appeal process flowchart is shown below:
6.3 Report and Handling of Complaints
Up to now, the GRM of the project can run normally in each subproject area, and the appeals and treatment of
affected households in each subproject area are shown in Table 6-2. Table6-2 List of Complaints Handling in Each Subproject Area
District/
County Time Main complaint content Response
Shizhu July 2017
The interviewees from Fengxiangping
Resort complained that the local
government did not consider allocating
them the quota of transferring from
agricultural to non-agricultural.
1. The government of Huangshui Town held a meeting to discuss
and has solved the problem according to the relevant policy of
transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural. 6 APs has been
included in the urbanized resident list and have been public
announced, and one more AP (Liu Ying) is being identified.
2.There are 5.706mu land acquisitioned with 11 householders. In
Fengxiangping. 10 householders have obtained the land
compensation. Only affected farmer Zeng xiangmu rejects to get
the land compensation because he want to become a non-
Stage 4:If still not satisfied with solution in stage 3, as for any problem concerning the resettlement, the affected person or group can lodge a complaint to governmental departments including county legal department, county discipline inspection department and petition department.
Stage 3:If not satisfied with solution in stage 2, the affected person or group can lodge a complaint to district/county PMOs after receiving the decision, the district/county PMOs should make solutions within one week.

agricultural resident. But Zengxiangmu has only 0.337mu
acquisitioned land which does not meet the requirement of the
urbanization policy of 1.81mu. Zeng has submitted a complaint
letter to the Grievances Office and is processing even LAR
officers have explained the policy to him several times. The LAR
officer said that Zeng`s complaint is not reasonable.
Chengkou
Aug 2017 Tang Hongyou complained on why he has
not received the land compensation.
Negotiated and settled down in September 2017. The land
compensation fees has been settled down in Yanhe town, once the
individual AH`s acquisitioned area is identified clearly, the land
compensation will be paid to the APs.
Jan 2018
Zhou Jiafu and other villagers complained
that the land compensation was not in
place.
The town LAR officer said that the land compensation will be
paid to the APs before Chinese Spring Festival.
Fuling Sept 2017
The villagers from Yuelai community in
Jiaoshi town complained that the
compensation for temporary land
acquisition can`t be paid in time.
The IA officer explained that temporary land compensation
payment would be settled down when the more land acquisition in
later period was almost completed, and it does not take long time.
The villagers accept the solution.
6.4 Evaluation and Conclusion
1) Every district and county will organize some public activities to make the people more aware of the subprojects
of the ADB. And according to EMT survey, it is known that the local people generally support the construction of
the project and expects the project can be completed soon because the villagers could get significant benefit from the
projects.
2) Currently, Shizhu, Chengkou and Fuling have different complaints. Among them, the complaints in Shizhu,
Chengkou and Fuling have been responded. The complaint of Zhou Jiafu from Chengkou needs to be resolved,
which is still in the processing.
6.5 Recommendations
1)Compensation for land acquisition and demolition is the most important issue for the affected people. It is also
very normal to have different opinions/ disputes in the processing. Public consultation gives everyone an
opportunity to express different opinions, which can not only effectively safeguard the interests of the affected
people, but also allow them to understand and abide by the state policies.
2)It will have a negative impact on the daily life of the surrounding ordinary people more or less when the
contractor is carrying out the construction. In case of work hindrance, it is expected that the contractor should solve
the problem rationally, hold more meeting to inform villagers the situation and negotiate the solution jointly, and
avoid conflicts on fundamental interests of local people.

7. Sample HH in Survey
The EMT has conducted sampling survey on affected households of LAR, and the content includes
demographics, area of land acquisition, family annual income, annual expenditure, concerns of the APs and so on.
7.1 Scope of the Survey
The site survey in this term mainly focuses on the 6 counties (Chengkou, Shizhu, Wanzhou, Rongcheng, Fuling
and Wulong),85 HHs and 319 persons in total, including 15 HHs and 61 persons in Shizhu, 18HHs and 67
persons in Rongchang, 12HHs and 50 persons in Wulong, 12HHs and 50 persons in Chengkou, 1HH and 2 persons
in Wanzhou, 22HHs and 71 persons in Fuling. Among them, 73 HHs were land acquired, 4 HHs were acquired land
and removed, accounted for 85.88% of all households. The interview scope is shown in table 7-1 Table 7-1 Sampling of SAP in Second Phase of 2017

7.2 Household Demographics
(1)Gender status:In the surveyed families, men are 173, accounting for 54.23%; women are 146,
accounting for 45.77%.
(2)Aging structure:People in 0-6 are 20, accounting for 6.27%, 40 in 7-15, accounting for 12.54%, 189
in16-60, accounting for 59.25%, and 70 above 60, accounting for 21.94%.
(3)There are 282 labors involved in sample survey(including the labor who has reached the statutory
retirement age and is still engaged in labors, accounting for 88.4% of the total amount.137 labors are in the local
workspace, accounting for 48.58% of the total amount; 145 labors are migrant workers, accounting for 51.42% of
the total amount; 37 people without working ability, including 33 students at school and 4 elderly.
7.3 Annual Household Income
The annual income of 106 households in 2016 amounted to 5,285,160 yuan, with annual income of 49,860 yuan
and agricultural income of 3070 yuan per household, accounting for 6.16% of the total annual income of the family;
78
non-agricultural income at the average household is 46,790 yuan, accounting for 93.84%, including 44,378 yuan per
capita of migrant workers, 89% of the total income; the wage in enterprise or institution reaches 312 yuan per capita,
accounting for 0.6% of total revenue; the monitoring team has found that in the field research, the agricultural
income in rural households is mainly from old people's (over 50 years old) production and the young labors mainly
do odd jobs, work in the vicinity of township enterprises or act as migrant workers, so most of their income is almost
not attached to the land. Therefore, the land acquisition in this project has little influence on their income.
According to the survey of 85 households, the total annual income in 2017 amounted to 4,539,280yuan, with
53,403yuan on average and the agricultural earning per household is 3,510yuan, accounting for 6.57% of total
annual family income. The average annual non-agricultural income per family is 49,893yuan, accounting for
93.43% of the total amount. The income of migrant workers per capita is 42,380yuan, accounting for 79.36% of the
total income. The wage in enterprise or institution reaches 434yuan per capita, accounting for 0.8% of total revenue
In the field survey, the monitoring group finds that the agricultural income in rural families is mainly achieved by
the elderly over 50 years old, while the young adults are mostly on part-time jobs, working in township enterprises
nearby and going out to work; thus the most of their income doesn’t depend on the farmland, and it almost won’t be
influenced by the land acquisition involved in this project.
Figure 7.1 Composition of annual household income in 2016
79
Figure 7.2 Composition of annual household income in 2017
Compared to figure 7.1 and figure 7.2, agricultural income and enterprise wages have increased slightly in 2017. The income from migrant workers sector has decreased sharply while other wage income has increased more. This is mainly due to the fact that more farmers are willing to work locally and do some part-time job around home.
7.4 Annual Household Expenditure
The total annual expenditure of 106 households surveyed in 2016 is per capta 13,060 yuan, of which: food
expenditure is 5304 yuan / person, accounting for 40.61 % of the total per capita annual expenditure; per capita
expenditure of utilities and fuel costs is 418 yuan / person, accounting for 3.2% of per capita annual expenditure; the
per capita expenditure of clothes, shoes and hats, cosmetics and shopping and other entertainment consumption is
2080 yuan / person, accounting for 15.93%; traffic expenditure per capita is 525 yuan/person, accounting for 4.02%;
communications expenditure per capita is 302 yuan / person, accounting for 2.31%; education expenditure per capita
is 643 yuan / person, accounting for 4.92%; medical expenditure is 770 yuan, accounting for about 5.9%; gifts
expenditure is 3018 yuan / person, accounting for about 22.11%.
According to statistics, the per-capita annual expenditure of 85 households surveyed in 2017 is 21,940yuan, of
which: food expenditure is 9,135yuan/person, accounting for 41.46% of the per capita annual expenditure; per capita
expenditure of utilities and fuel costs is 435yuan, accounting for 1.98% of per capita annual expenditure; the per
capita expenditure of clothes, shoes and hats, cosmetics and shopping and other entertainment consumption is
3,682yuan, accounting for 16.78%; traffic expenditure per capita is 691yuan, accounting for 3.15%;
communications expenditure per capita is 294yuan, accounting for 1.34%; education expenditure per capita is
762yuan, accounting for 3.48%; medical expenditure is 2,666yuan, accounting for about 12.15%; gifts expenditure
is 4,275yuan/person, accounting for about 19.48%.
80
Figure 7.3 Composition of annual household expenditure in 2016
Figure 7.4 Composition of annual household expenditure in 2017
Comparing figure 7.3 and figure 7.4, it can be found that there is a slight increase in food expenditure and the
increase in medical care is the largest. It shows that with the development of social economy, people pay more
attention to physical health. In other sectors including shopping, transportation education and gifts, the expenditure
has declined, but the rate of declining is modest.
81
7.5 Ethnic Distribution
The southeast of Chongqing is a concentrated area for ethnic minority, an ethnic minority area involved in
ADB Project is Shizhu Tujia Autonomous County. And all of 79 people who are ethnicity in this period of sampling
survey are in Zhishu County.
7.6 Education Background
According to the educational condition survey of 319 people in 85 households :11 people are preschool
children, accounting for 3.45% of the total amount; 4 people are illiteracy, accounting for 1.25% of the total amount;
94 people just have primary school education experience, accounting for 29.47% of the total amount; the number of
people who have junior middle school education experience is 157, accounting for 49.22% of the total amount; the
people who have high school and technical school educational experience number 37 , accounting for 11.6% of the
total amount; 6 people have junior college degree, accounting for 1.88% of the total amount; the number of people
with bachelor’ degree or above is 10, accounting for 3.13% of the total population.
7.7 Religious Beliefs and Language and Culture
In terms of religious belief, all of 85 households in this survey have no religious belief.
In Shizhu County--An ethnic minority area involved in ADB financed Chongqing Urban-Rural Infrastructure
Development Demonstration II project, the ethnicity had fused into the Han nationality since more than 2000 years
ago. In habitat of Tujia minority that has been surveyed, the ethnicity family in the sampling survey did not have
obvious ethnic minority characteristics. Part of the ethnicity residents even did not know the reason why they were
classified as ethnic minority groups. Even for them it was hard to identify the difference with the Han nationality.
They only knew that their household registration was minority. During the conversation, one old Tujia resident said
that their Tujia custom remained but not prevailing nowadays.

8. Plans for the Next Monitoring Period
8.1 Changes of Project Scopes and LAR Impacts
Up to the end of Jan 2018, some adjustments have been made on the contents of the project and the scopes of
the LAR impacts compared with the original RP. The number of APs in each subproject varies inordinately. A
detailed assessment of the overall LAR impacts needs to be monitored continuously because the physical quantity
surveys have not been completed so far.
1) About 20 mu temporary land needs to be acquisitioned because of construction material storage in Fuling contract
B. The specific area is expected to confirm at the beginning of Feb 2018. In addition, there are several sections refer
to alignment adjustments including Bridge No.2 , Bridge No.3, Bridge No.4, and Bridge No.5. These changing will
impact on LAR.
2) The tunnel entrance of Chengkou contract B has a design variation on alignment extension from the original
1750m to 1875m, increased 125m. There is one villager`s house within 50 m of blasting scope which needs to
relocation in Contract A. Furthermore, newly added 5 houses need to demolish due to the landslide by excavation,
the areas of newly added 6 houses are being measured. In addition, 40% of land compensation for individual AH has
not been paid to the villages. EMT will follow up the impacts in next report.
3) Due to subgrade landslide by excavation, about total 31mu permanent lands need to be acquisitioned in Shizhu
contract A and Contract B. EMT will continue to track impacts on the newly added areas, affected HHs and APs
and compensation related in next report.
8.2 Progress of Project Resettlement Implementation
1) Both land acquisition and non-agricultural resettlement compensation in Rongchang project have been completed
2) Wulong Subproject has completed the land acquisition, demolition of enterprises and house demolition work,
remaining part of non-agricultural work is undergoing.
3) Chengkou Subproject has completed the land acquisition work of 358.18mu, 2 houses demolishment and
relocation of 75 graves. There are 6 new houses to be demolished.
4) Shizhu Subproject has basically completed the land acquisition and house demolition work. Compensation for
Non-agricultural residents will be completed before Chinese New Year. However, due to landslides in Contract A
and B, more permanent land acquisition without house demolishment (3km longth in total, about 31mu in total) is
needed and verification on land areas is processing.
5) Fuling contract A has completed the demolition of houses and land acquisition work, Contract B does not involve
in the demolition of houses, basicly complete the land acquisition work, but the demolishment of three enterprises is
still in negotiation. In addition, non-agricultural quota is calculating. EMT will pay special attention on non-
agricultural progress in next report.
83
6) Wanzhou IA has solved the relocations of Liu Guangcai house and two agricutural enterprises. No further LAR
work is remained.
8.3 Recommendations
8.3.1 Urging all IAs, LAR Officer and Village Leaders to Speed up Compensation to Individual AH
Due to dispute on land areas, compensation is delay to pay to individual AP in Fuling and Chengkou. It is
suggested that the LAR officers and villager leaders should coordinate with the AP to solve the problem jointly
within a specified period. Otherwise, there are more complaints on the efficiency of resettlement and compensation.
8.3.2 More Efforts on the Progress of Transferring from Agriculture and Non-agriculture to Ensure the
Interest of Affected People.
It is suggested that the officers should manage to shorten the time from publication of the urbanized resident
list to obtain urbanized resident social insurance to ensure the interest of the affected people.
8.3.3 Paying More Attention on Vulnerable Groups and Increasing Support for Them
Pay more attention to the concerns of vulnerable groups and poor people. As we know via surveys, there is no
any priority on land compensation and resettlement compensation for vulnerable groups. The policy of LAR is full
equality for all. However, there are many poverty alleviation policies and measures towards poverty village family,
such as medical expense deduction, house repairing subsidy, minimum living subsidy, education allowance, petty
loan, order planting, appointed poverty alleviation by enterprise, free training and etc. EMT appeals the IAs and
village leader could provide these preferential policies to the affected vulnerable groups, and increase trainings for
affected women and vulnerable group, communicate with construction units to employ more affected vulnerable
groups in the project area.
At the same time, EMT will continue to monitor the living conditions of affected vulnerable people and
whether their living standards have been improved.
