EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A. Project Background Information

Guihua Bridge-Shilongping Road in Wushan County, Chongqing is in construction design

phase now, of which the compilation work of The Feasibility Study Report has been finished in

December 2013.

According to the requirements of ADB, The Resettlement Plan of this project is

required prior to approval of contract awards and start of land acquisition.

Chongqing Duojie Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. has been entrusted by the owner to

launch a socio-economic survey on the relevant villages and groups as well as the affected

persons alongside the Guihua Bridge-Shilongping Road with the cooperation of the related

departments of local villages and towns. DMS was conducted in June 2014 by the county land

resource bureau and the relevant townships and villages.

The compilation of The Resettlement Plan aims to guarantee that the living standard of

persons affected by the land acquisition will be improved or at least equivalent to that which they

had without the project.

B. Scope of Land Acquisition

Land acquisition in this project will affect 5 groups of 3 villages in 2 towns. The permanent

acquisition of 551.37mu collective land, among which there is 54.03mu farmland, 392.03mu

woodland and 105.31mu wasteland, will affect 278 households with 1198 persons. 185.41mu

temporary land occupation, including 18.19mu farmland, 131.78mu woodland and 35.45mu

wasteland, will affect 99 households with 414 persons. Demolition area amounts to 2889.30m2,

all of which are rural houses, including 1453.51m2 masonry-concrete structured houses,

437.66m2 masonry-timber structured houses, 914.01m

2 cob wall houses and 83.85m

2 simple

structured houses, affecting 14 households with 73 persons in total.



C. Information Disclosure，Participation and Grievance

During the socio-economic survey in Feb. 2014, all of the affected households, villages,

village cadres and governments of towns and county have participated in it mainly by means of

taking part in the conferences, interviews, key group interviews, public participation activities,

community consultations and so on. Now the county government, the implementing organization

and village cadres are consulting and discussing with the representatives of the affected persons

about the impacts and compensation scheme to protect the benefits of affected persons and

provide income restoration program for them. The resettlement plan will be published on the

ADB’s website. Land acquisition and The Resettlement Information Brochure, which contains

land acquisition condition, resettlement progress and procedure, compensation rate, resettlement

allowance, livelihood restoration measures and so on, will be provided to the affected households

as soon as possible before the RP disclosure by ADB.

D. Legal Framework and Compensation rate

Land acquisition and resettlement compensation rate will adhere to the Wushan Government

Document 28 (2013) and ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement. Rural farmers who will

suffer partial land loss but will not become urban residents will be offered cash compensation

based on the quantity of land loss, compensation for crops and cash or in-kind support based on

the willingness of affected persons for livelihood restoration. The restoration measures include:

encouraging them to buy the urban endowment insurance; providing them with employment

opportunities during the project construction and operational phases; developing economic crops

with higher economic value; promoting and developing new enterprises and secondary and

tertiary businesses; and providing technical training to the affected persons to increase their skills

and promote employment.



E. Relocation and Income Restoration

The per capita income loss for the affected village is as follow: Lizao village is 61 RMB; Guihua

village is 52 RMB, Qixing village is 45 RMB. Income loss of the affected persons in consequence of

the acquisition of farmland will be restored by compensation allowance, benefits for changing

from “agricultural to non-agricultural” status, technical training, recommended employment,

provision of micro credits and some other ways to make sure that the standard of living for

affected persons is at least equivalent to that which they had “without the project”.

F. Resettlement Cost Estimation and Management

The resettlement cost road project of the Guihua Bridge-Shilongping in Wushan County

totals to RMB37,612,200 yuan, accounting for 27% of the total investment of the Project. The

cost of LAR includes RMB22,795,600 yuan of basic charge, RMB2,735,500 yuan of management

and monitoring cost, RMB9,801,600 yuan of land acquisition taxes and dues and RMB2,279,600

yuan of contingencies. The resettlement cost is all from counterpart funds. The compensation will

be firstly allocated to the land acquisition agencies. Then the land acquisition agencies will

compensate the affected persons according to the land acquisition area.

G. Organizations and Implementation Plan

2 SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION, DEMOLITION AND

RELOCATION

2.1 Permanent Land Acquisition

2.1.1 Statistics of Permanent Land Acquisition

The project will acquire 551.37mu collective land, among which there is 54.03mu farmland,

392.03mu woodland and 105.31mu wasteland. It will affect 5 groups of 3 villages in 2 towns,

which include 278 households with 1198 persons.

The specific amount of the land acquisition is available in Table 2-1 and the land types

acquired can be seen in Picture 2-1.

The land types being acquired in this project mainly include farmland, woodland and

wasteland.

1, According to the survey, all of the farmland being acquired are dry land. Crops involved

include wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, vegetables and so on;

2, Land area acquired by this project suffers from soil depletion and the soil is thin. The

woodland area mainly grows small shrubs and herbaceous plants. There are a few shrubwoods

around the residential area, most of which are cypresses and deciduous shrubs, no rare tree

species;

3, The acquired area by this project is full of high mountains and steep slopes, with the soil

thin and vegetation sparse. In addition, people living there also contribute to the water loss and

soil erosion of the area and the relatively serious stony desertification of the soil. As a result of

this, there exists large scale of wasteland.

Reservoir Region, with the Padang County of Hubei in the east, Jianshi County of Hubei in the

south, Fengjie County in the west and Wuxi County in the north. It covers 2,958 square

kilometers, governing 26 towns, 315 villages and 30 neighborhood committees, with the total

population of 624,000, of which there are 20 ethnic minority groups with 6,839 people, who live

in the towns and villages near the boundary of Wushan county and Hubei Province the ADB

project doesn’t impact any ethnic minority people .The maximum distances from the east to the

west and from the south to the north are respectively 61.2 Km and 80.3Km. The lowest elevation

and the highest elevation (Taiping Mountain) are respectively 156m and 2,680m. Mountainous

region and the hills respectively cover 96% and 4% of the whole county.

In 2013 →ushan’s GDP totals to3.5 billion yuan, 13.1% higher than last year, among which

1.89 billion yuan has been achieved by the primary industry with the growth rate of 7.8% and an

increment of 1.025 billion yuan. The secondary industry has achieved an increment of 0.867

billion yuan with the year-on-year growth rate of 14.2%. The tertiary industry has achieved an

increment of 1.753 billion yuan with the year-on-year growth rate of 17.1%. The three main

industries structure ratio has updated to 25.5: 28: 46.5 from the original 27: 26: 47. Fixed-asset

3.2 Social and Economic Status Quo of the Rural Towns Involved

Wuxia Town is the economic and culture center of Wushan County. Longmen Office, sitting

beside Wuxia Town, is the rural-urban junction of Wushan County, having relatively better social

and economic conditions. Table 3-2 is the main economic indexes of affected towns.

According to the GDP data, it can be found that the GDPs of Wuxia Town and Longmen

Office are derived from secondary industry and tertiary industry. The tertiary industrial output

value accounts for more than 40% of the total GDP and the service industry becomes the main

strength of the GDP.

3.3 Social and Economic Status Quo of the Villages Involved

This project will affect 3,323 households with 13,768 persons in 3 villages, of which

agricultural population is 13,750, accounting for 99.87% of the total population; the poverty

population accounts for 2.24% of the total population. The basic population information of the

affected villages is available in Table 3-3.

It can be seen from the table above that the rural per capita net income of 3 affected villages

all exceed 4,000 yuan, higher than the rural per capita net income of Wushan County in 2012.

Lizao Village is governed by Longmen Office (i.e. Longmen Town in the map). Guihua Village

and Qixing Village are governed by WuxiaTown. Geographically, the latter two villages are nearer

to Wushan County. Due to the better regional advantage, their economic conditions are a little

better than other remote towns and villages in Wushan County.



3.4 Social and Economic Status Quo of the Households Affected by the

Project

In February 2014, with the help of Wushan County Transportation Development Co., Ltd., the

compilation unit has investigated the basic information and aspirations of relocation of the

affected households. The main purpose of the survey is to: (1) get the latest socio-economic

information of the affected persons who might lose their lands or properties because of the project;

(2) know the affected persons’ aspirations of the land acquisition and income restoration

measures.

This survey is conducted by sampling survey method, combining with consulting the village

and group cadres, questionnaires and interviews. The respondents are 60 households from 6

groups of 3 villages in 2 towns who have been affected by the permanent land acquisition,

accounting for 21.58% of the total affected households.

3.4.4.1 Income Composition Analysis

According to the income composition of 60 investigated households, agricultural income

accounts for only about 10% of the household economic income and the non-agricultural income

accounts for 90%. Therefore, earnings from migrant workers are the main source of the household

economic income. See Table 3-7.

3.4.4.2 Household Income Level Distribution

Annual per capita net income of 12 sampling households is more than 5,000~8,000 yuan,

accounting for 20% of the 60 sampling households. Annual per capita net income of 48 sampling

households (80%) is between 3,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan, equal to the town’s average level. See

Table 3-8.

3.4.4.3 Women's Income Analysis

→omen’s income is part of the total household income. According to the survey, among the

60 investigated households, there is 1 household in which women’s income accounts for 50% of

the total household income. In 25 households, women’s income accounts for 40~50%. In 22

households, women’s income accounts for 30~40%. In 12 households, women’s income accounts

for less than 30%. The specific analysis is available in Table 3-9.

Households household 12 22 25 1 60

Proportion % 20% 37% 42% 2% 0

The fact that the proportion of women’s income is less than that of man’s is closely related to

the working hours of female migrant workers. In accordance with the survey, female migrant

workers of the affected persons are mainly engaged in non-manual and unskilled jobs for which

the payments are relatively low, such as restaurant waiter, baby-sitters, cleaners, clothing making

or shoemaking and so on. Some women work outside discontinuously instead of perennially

because they have to spare some time to look after their children and aging parents.

3.4.5 Expenditure Status Quo

The expenditure of the affected households mainly includes production cost, food and drink,

clothing, education, medical treatment, entertainment, transportation and communication. The

average expenditure of the affected households is in Table 3-10.

According to the analysis, the affected person’s food and drink expenditure accounts for

about 50% of the total expenditure and the production cost only accounts for about 8% of the total

expenditure. This keeps in line with the fact that the affected persons’ economic income is mainly

derived from working outside the hometown.

3.4.6 Income and Expenses Analysis

The total household average income of 60 sampling households can meet the expenditure.

During the investigation, when asked about the use of surplus money, most of the

investigated people have said that they will deposit the surplus in a bank, and some households

have said that they are saving money for doing business in the town like running a restaurant or a

small shop.

3.5 Impacts on the Vulnerable Groups

According to the socio-economic survey, this project will not affect the vulnerable groups.

3.6 Survey on Aspiration of Relocations of Persons Affected

115 of the 278 households affected by the land acquisition will be affected by the farmland

acquisition. 60 households in the survey are all affected by the farmland acquisition. About 60%

labor forces are working outside their hometown. The main household income is derived from the

migrant workers. The APs have the right to select the resettlement methods such as cash

compensation or land exchange with same quality and quantity. However, almost children and



aged people stayed in Villageswho have no enough ability to plant crops, therefore, all the APs

tend to select cash compensation. See Table 3-12.

According to the survey, aspirations differ between men and women. It can be found that

men and women reach a 100% agreement on the reasonable compensation, compensation in time,

child’s education and other government’s help. However, women pay more attention to the

employment training, recommended employment and the rest aspects than men.

4 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND APPEAL MECHANISM

4.1 Public Participation Program

Both the compiling process of The Resettlement Plan and the resettlement implementation

phase attach great importance to the participation and consultation of the affected persons. RP was

prepared on the basis of the full negotiation with affected persons on the related compensation

rates and schemes in June-July 2014.

In consideration of the practical situation of this project, the public participation is divided

into three phases:

Phase Main Content Current

4.2 Appeal Mechanism

To ensure that opinions of the APs on such issues as land occupancy, compensation and

personnel resettlement can be solved in an open and fast way to avoid APs of the project to be

forced to resort to adopt complex formal channels to express their dissatisfaction or complaint, IA

has established handling procedures involved with appeal of the project, with specific steps as

follows:

Step 1: In case the APs or village committees have any objection to the land compensation

RP, they can propose an oral or written appeal to the township government. If they file their

appeal orally, it is required to be addressed by the township government with a written record.

The township government shall make a disposition within one week;

Step 2: In case the APs are still unsatisfied with the disposition in Step 1, they can still

appeal to Wushan County Land Resources Bureau or the Resettlement Office in accordance with

relevant laws and regulations of Chongqing, the Land Resources Bureau or the Resettlement

Office shall make a disposition within 10 days;

Step 3: In case the APs remain unsatisfactory with the disposition in Step 2, they can lodge

an appeal to WushanCounty PMO after receiving the disposition, and the County PMO shall

make a disposition within one week;

APs can decide to go through the legal system directly and may decide not to use

the project level grievance channels.

APs can file a lawsuit aiming at any aspect of the resettlement, including

compensation rates etc. The above channel of appeal will be notified to APs by way of meeting

and RIB so that the APs can get a full awareness of their right to appeal. At the same time, the

media will be utilized to strengthen publicity, and the opinions and proposals of various aspects

on the work of resettlemen will be solidified into information provisions, which shall be studied

timely and solved by the resettlement agencies at all levels. All these agencies shall receive

complaints and appeals from the affected people free of charge, and reasonable expenses arising

therefrom will be paid out from unforeseeable fee of migration resettlement. For channel of

appeal, see Table 4-1 .

APs can also submit complaints to ADB which will be handled by the Project Team. If an

AP is still not satisfied and believes they have been harmed due to non-compliance with ADB



policy, they may submit a complaint to ADB’s Office of Special Project Facility or Office of Compliance Review in accordance with ADB’s Accountability Mechanism1.

5 LEGAL FRAMEWORK AND RESETTLEMENT

POLICY

5.1 ADB Resettlement Principles

Resettlement Principles:1. Screen the project early on to identify past, present, and future

involuntary resettlement impacts and risks. Determine the scope of resettlement planning through

a survey and/or census of displaced persons, including a gender analysis, specifically related to

resettlement impacts and risks.

2. Carry out meaningful consultations with affected persons, host communities, and

concerned nongovernment organizations. Inform all displaced persons of their entitlements and

resettlement options. Ensure their participation in planning, implementation, and monitoring and

evaluation of resettlement programs. Establish a grievance redress mechanism to receive and

facilitate resolution of the affected persons’ concerns. Support the social and cultural institutions

of displaced persons and their host population. Where involuntary resettlement impacts and risks

are highly complex and sensitive, compensation and resettlement decisions should be preceded by

a social preparation phase.

3. Improve, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons through (i) land-based

resettlement strategies when affected livelihoods are land based where possible or cash

compensation at replacement value for land when the loss of land does not undermine livelihoods,

(ii) prompt replacement of assets with access to assets of equal or higher value, (iii) prompt

compensation at full replacement cost for assets that cannot be restored, and (iv) additional

revenues and services through benefit sharing schemes where possible.

4. Provide physically and economically displaced persons with needed assistance, including

the following: (i) if there is relocation, secured tenure to relocation land, better housing at

resettlement sites with comparable access to employment and production opportunities,

integration of resettled persons economically and socially into their host communities, and

extension of project benefits to host communities; (ii) transitional support and development



assistance, such as land development, credit facilities, training, or employment opportunities; and

(iii) civic infrastructure and community services, as required.

5. Improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups,

including women, to at least national minimum standards. In rural areas provide them with legal

and affordable access to land and resources, and in urban areas provide them with appropriate

income sources and legal and affordable access to adequate housing.

6. Develop procedures in a transparent, consistent, and equitable manner if land acquisition

is through negotiated settlement to ensure that those people who enter into negotiated settlements

will maintain the same or better income and livelihood status.

7. Ensure that displaced persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land

are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for loss of nonland assets.

8. Prepare a resettlement plan elaborating on displaced persons’ entitlements, the income and

livelihood restoration strategy, institutional arrangements, monitoring and reporting framework,

budget, and time-bound implementation schedule.

9. Disclose the final resettlement plan and its updates to affected persons and other

stakeholders.

10. Conceive and execute involuntary resettlement as part of a development project or

program. Include the full costs of resettlement in the presentation of project’s costs and benefits.

For a project with significant involuntary resettlement impacts, consider implementing the

involuntary resettlement component of the project as a stand-alone operation.

11. Pay compensation and provide other resettlement entitlements before physical or

economic displacement. Implement the resettlement plan under close supervision throughout

project implementation.

12. Monitor and assess resettlement outcomes, their impacts on the standards of living of

displaced persons, and whether the objectives of the resettlement plan have been achieved by

taking into account the baseline conditions and the results of resettlement monitoring. Disclose

monitoring reports.



5.2 Comparison of ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement Policies with the

PRC’s LAR Policies

Generally speaking, there are many similarities between the ADB’s involuntary resettlement policies and the PRC’s LAR policies, which include:

(1) Both of them attach an importance to avoiding or reducing resettlement during the

planning and design stage of a project;

(2) Both of them attach an importance to the restoration and improvement of the

livelihood of APs;

(3)Both of them attach an importance to the openness and transparency of the

resettlement policies;

(4) Both of them attach an importance to the participation and awareness of the public

during resettlement;

(5) Both of them require that the formulation and implementation of the resettlement

compensation standards must be based on the law and according to the law.

However, there are still some differences in some aspects between ADB’s involuntary resettlement policies and the PRC’s LAR policies, which include:

(1) ADB attaches more importance to the planning prior to the implementation of

resettlement, and it requires that a feasible RP must be compiled;

(2) The ADB’s resettlement policies require that during resettlement, all losses of all APs must be compensated according to replacement costs, including those people having no

legal land ownership. However, the LAR policies of the PRC provide a different compensation

policy to unlicensed buildings.

(3)ADB attaches more importance to the special care extended to the vulnerable people

during resettlement; and

(4) ADB attaches more importance to monitoring and checking during resettlement.

Based on the above analysis, during the preparation for resettlement, this Project takes



full account of the relevant policies of ADB and takes the following measures to meet the

demands of ADB:

(1)The preparation of the Project must be based on concrete socio-economic survey

and physical survey, and the RP must be prepared in details;

(2) Special care must be given to vulnerable people during resettlement

implementation;

(3) Make compensation to non-registered buildings constructed before the cut-off time,

based on replacement value of structures;

(4) Establish internal and external monitoring systems for resettlement.

With the above measures, the ADB’s resettlement policies and the PRC’s LAR policies will be seamlessly bridged and the smooth implementation of resettlement of the Project will be

guaranteed.

(2) ADB’s Gender Checklist - Resettlement (Manila, February 2003).

5.4 Compensation Rate

5.4.1 Compensation Principles

All land and properties loss abide by the resettlement principles: (1) compensation will be

paid before the acquisition of the properties and land; (2) Provide technical training, help and

employment opportunities for the resettled agricultural labor force to guarantee that their living

standard will not decline because of the project; (3) Crops and attachments compensation will be

paid to the contractor or the property owner in full; (4) Enhance the management during the

construction period to minimize the timescale and the negative impacts of the project; (5)

Distribute the compensation to the affected labor force to help them continue their present job or

engage in individual business.

5.4.2 Compensation Rate

(1) Land compensation fee and Resettlement subsidy Standard



In accordance with the compensation policies in Wushan FF [2013] 28, the compensation of

all kinds of land will be calculated on the basis of land acquisition area and the standard is 16,000

yuan/mu; the resettlement subsidy of all areas will be calculated on the basis of the “agricultural

to non-agricultural” status population and each person who changes from agricultural status to

non-agricultural status can get 36,000 yuan.

The project IA and contractors will put notices 1-2 months in advance of the project

implementation in order the farmers have enough time to harvest standing crops. The project IA

will provide relevant taxes and government fees.

(2) Crops Compensation rate

Crops compensation refers to farmland compensation. According to the survey, the woodland

affected by the project is timber forest with no commercial crop forest (e.g., orchards). The land

in the timber forest is mainly open forest land where grows shrubs and herbaceous plants. The

timber forest does not bring economic benefits to local people. Since the affected area of the

project is linear in shape, the remaining forest after the land acquisition can meet the affected

households’ needs of timber. Only very few arbors will be affected and compensated according to

the Wushan FF [2013] 28. The farmland compensation rate is 1,800 yuan/mu for grain crops and

2,600 yuan/mu for the vegetable crops.

According to the project timescale, the crops compensation caused by the temporary land

occupation will be paid for 2 years. The compensation rate is the negotiated agreement between

the IA and the affected persons on the basis of the resettlement cost. The annual net income of the

farmland is about 920 yuan/mu, which is lower than the compensation rate, so the compensation

rate is high enough. The project IA will pay a reclamation fee at the rate of 20/m2 and undertake the

reclamation of the temporarily occupied land. The fee will be returned to the IA if the reclaimed land has

passed inspection.

The project IA and contractors will put notices 1-2 months in advance of the project implementation

in order the farmers have enough time to harvest standing crops.

(3) Demolition Compensation



The house demolition compensation rate is: 870 yuan/m2

for the masonry-concrete structured

houses, 720 yuan/m2 for the masonry-timber structured houses, 540 yuan/m

2 for the earthen wall

houses and 270 yuan/m2 for the simple structured houses;

The demolition compensations include moving subsidy, demolition and resettlement subsidy

and relocation subsidy. The moving subsidy is calculated by household. A one-off payment of 500

yuan will be given to the household with no more than 3 members. For households with more

than 3 members, each additional person will get 100 yuan increment. However, the maximum of

the moving subsidy is 1000 yuan. Every affected person can get 150 yuan of demolition and

resettlement subsidy each month (until the end of the resettlement, and the scheduled time of this

project is 6 months). Every affected person can also get a one-off payment of 500 yuan as a

relocation subsidy. The specific compensation rate is in Table 5-1.

All the house demolished farmers have the right to salvage material. There will be no charge

for house relocation and reconstruction.

(4) Attachments Compensation rate

The attachments mainly refer to roads, retaining wall, earth dike, tombs, wells, cesspools,

fruit trees, weed trees, etc. After consulting the Wushang County Forestry Bureau, the affected

land in Wushan County is open forest land, the acquisition of which needs to be put on records in

the Wushang County Forestry Bureau. The project owner has to pay the forest vegetation

restoration fee of 6 yuan/m2

to the Wushan County Finance Bureau. The weed trees compensation

will comply with the provisions of Wushan FF [2013] 28. The specific attachments compensation

rate is in Table 5-1.

6 RESETTLEMENT AND RESTORATION OF INCOMES

SCHEME

6.1 Demolition and Relocation

This project is a reconstruction and extension project. The construction design has abided by

the principle of minimizing the demolition and land acquisition area. The total house demolition

area is 2,889.03m2, all of which are rural houses, affecting 14 households with 73 persons.

6.1.1 Demolition and Relocation Objectives

The specific demolition and relocation objectives of the project are as follow.

(1) Minimize the impacts of involuntary resettlement by optimizing the project design.

(2) Guarantee the interests of the affected persons by providing sufficient and immediate

funds for the demolition and resettlement, which is the important part of the project;

(3) Provide help, like vehicles and labor force, to the affected persons during the demolition

and resettlement process;

(4) The affected persons will integrate into new community both in economic and social

field;

(5) Encourage the affected persons to prepare and implement the demolition and

resettlement plan while respecting their resettlement aspirations;

(6) Affected persons’ life and livelihood must restore as soon as possible to the state before

the project.

6.1.2 Demolition and Relocation Scheme

According to the →ushan County FF [2013] 28 and the affected persons’ aspirations of

resettlement, all of the 14 households affected by the demolition choose self-built resettlement.



They will apply for the self-built houses in accordance with The Rural Homestead Management

Regulations after receiving the compensation set by Wushan County FF [2013] 28.

6.1.3 Demolition and Relocation of the Affected Persons

The homesteads of self-built resettlement will be chosen from their own village group area

by the project owner and the village committee with consultation with AHs. New homesteads cost,

administration cost, land leveling cost, road construction cost, utilities installation cost and the

mapping cost will be paid by the project owner, to make sure that the affected persons’ new

housing conditions are not worse than the “non-project” ones.

The planned compensation rate will increase by 50% of the standard in Wushan County FF

[2013] 28: 870 yuan/m2 for masonry-concrete structured houses, 720 yuan/m

2 for masonry-timber

structured houses, 540 yuan/m2 for masonry-timber structured houses and 270 yuan/m

2 simple

structured houses. The resettlement prices in the affected area are 800 yuan/m2 for

masonry-concrete structured houses, 650 yuan/m2 for masonry-timber structured houses, 500

yuan/m2 for masonry-timber structured houses and 250 yuan/m

2 simple structured houses. Based

on the survey, the replacement cost for self-building masonry-concrete structured houses is

around 800 yuan/m2. Therefore, the compensation rate can meet the requirements of resettlement.

The moving subsidy for affected households who have chosen self-built resettlement will be

distributed by household. 500 yuan moving subsidy will be given to the household with no more

than 3 members. For households with more than 3 members, each additional person will get 100

yuan increment. However, the maximum of the moving subsidy is 1000 yuan. Every affected

person can get 150 yuan of demolition and resettlement subsidy each month for 6 months. Every

affected person can get a one-off payment of 500 yuan for relocation subsidy.

For households with no more than 3 members will get 90m2 homestead. For households with

more than 3 members, each additional person will get 30m2 increments. However, the maximum

area of the homestead is 150m2. According to the survey, all the affected persons plan to choose

homesteads near the highways in a scattered manner. The specific sites are not set yet. The

affected HHs will get the new homestead for free. Affected persons will apply to the Land



Administration Department for the land use right of homestead. The approval procedure is free of

charge. In addition, the land acquisition institution will pay for the land leveling and facilities

preparation. All the house demolished farmers have the right to salvage material. There will be no

charge for house relocation and reconstruction.

6.1.4 Compatibility Analysis of the Relocation Sites

Self-built resettlement households all choose to live in their own village, so their social

customs, language and culture, religious beliefs and so on will stay the same. The consistency is

favorable.

6.1.5 Concerns for the Vulnerable Groups

The vulnerable groups include five-guarantee households (without income sources), households

covered by minimum living security (CNY195/month per person) and households with disability and

women-headed households

Based on the definition and consultation, there’s no vulnerable group under this

subcomponent.

6.2 Restoration of Incomes

6.2.1 Income Objectives and Content

The overall income restoration objectives are to make sure that the affected persons’ income

and living standard will at least restore to the state before the project.

6.2.2 Income Loss Assessment

Income losses caused by permanent land acquisition is evaluated on the basis of the income

from plant industry and land loss area of the affected households. See Table 6-1.

It can be found that the income loss of Lizao Village the maximum income loss caused by

the project: per capita income loss is 61 yuan. However, the overall income loss caused by the

project is relatively small. The average income loss proportion is about 3% of the per capita

income. For the average household with 4 people, the income loss is around 200-250 yuan,

accounting for 1% of their average income.

6.2.3 Income Restoration Plan

The income restoration plan mainly includes cash compensation, social insurance for people

who have changed their agricultural status into non-agricultural status, technical training,

recommended employment and other measures.

80% of land compensation fees in land acquisition shall be used to cover basic endowment

insurance for urban enterprise employees for land-expropriated farmers, and transferred by the

county land and resources bureau to the county labor and social security bureau; the remaining 20%

shall be paid to the affected rural collective economic organization for collective economic

development, and the production and livelihood restoration of its members.

The resettlement subsidy is paid to persons based on the amount of land to be acquired and

becomes larger if the amount of land per capita is lower. E.g, if the land per capita of Subvillage A

is 1 mu and the project will acquire 1 mu in the subvillage, which means 1 person should be

urbanized. Thus in this situation the resettlement subsidy for one mu land will be CNY36,000; but

if the land per capita is 0.5 mu, then 2 persons will be urbanized. And accordingly the resettlement

subsidy for 1 mu land will be CNY72,000.

The population to be converted into urban status of each village will be determined at a

village meeting based on acquired land area. All households affected by HD may apply for

conversion into urban status voluntarily. Most of the AHs prefer to convert old or 40s-50s family

members into urban status. The resettlement subsidy of any land-expropriated farmer aged under

16 years will be fully paid to the individual; one aged 16 years or above will pay endowment

insurance premiums based on age group, where the government and individual shall pay 50%



each.

If the sum of 80% of the land compensation fee and the insurance paid by the individual is

less than the pension, the gap shall be paid by the land acquisition department.

6.2.3.1 Endowment Insurance for People Who Have Changed Their Status

(1) Number of People Who Have Changed Their Agricultural Status into Non-agricultural

Status

People in affected collective economic organizations that have lost

all land they own will have to change their agricultural status into

non-agricultural status. The number of people in affected collective

economic organizations that have lost part of land they own will be the

calculated result of the sum of farmland acquisition area (areas of

orchards, grassplots will be treated as farmland, the same below) and

0.5 uncultivated land area divided by the per capita farmland area of the

collective economic organizations before the project. See Table 6-2. The

choice of the people who have to change their status is based on the

land acquisition area order. The order will be decided by the

representatives of towns and village committees. Affected person who

has more land to be acquired will have the priority to change status.

The final list has not been worked out till the land agreement will be

signed.Table 6-2 Computation of the Number of the

(2) Endowment Insurance for People Who Have Changed Their Status

According to the Wushan FF [2013] 28, the consultations from the local Labor and Social

Security Departments and the practical situation, the choice of the people who have to change

their status is based on the land acquisition area order. The order will be decided by the

representatives of towns and village committees. With the respect for their aspirations, people

who have to change their status will pay for the endowment insurance. The endowment insurance

of people who have changed their status will be paid by their land acquisition and resettlement

compensation. If the compensation is not enough to pay the endowment insurance, the project

acquisition institution will make up the balance. If the compensation is more than the endowment

insurance payment, the balance will go to the affected person.

The population to be converted into non-agricultural status of each village will be

determined at a village meeting based on acquired land area. All households affected by HD may

apply for conversion into non-agricultural status voluntarily. Most of the AHs prefer to convert

old or 40s-50s family members into urban status. The resettlement subsidy of any land-acquired

farmer aged under 16 years will be fully paid to the individual; one aged 16 years or above will

pay endowment insurance premiums based on age group, where the government and individual

shall pay 50% each. People with different ages pay different endowment insurance premium. See

Table 6-3. The population converted into non-agricultural status will receive resettlement subsidy

of 36,000 yuan per person, which will be enough for the payment of pension insurance. The 50%

part which the government pays for the insurance is from the 80% of the land compensation and

land planning fee if not enough.

reclamation fee at the rate of 20/m2 to the county Land and Resources Bureau, and undertake the



reclamation of the temporarily occupied land. The fee will be returned to the IA if the reclaimed

land has passed the inspection. If the affected land cannot be restored because of the external

factors, the cash deposit will be paid to the affected persons by the permanent land acquisition

compensation rate. If the land occupation institution cannot restore the affected land in person, the

cash deposit can be treated as the entrust cost for the relevant units to restore the affected land.

10 MONITORING, EVALUATION AND REPORTING

SYSTEM

In order to ensure the smooth implantation of the land acquisition, housing demolition and

resettlement of the migrants concerned, this project will toughly abide by the policy of the

migrant resettlement of Asian Development Bank by regularly monitoring and evaluating the

work of land acquisition and the migrant resettlement. The monitoring system consists of two

independent parts, namely the internal monitoring and the external monitoring.

10.1 Internal Monitoring and Evaluation

The internal monitoring comprises a monitoring system, clearly articulated goals, definite

tasks, the exact work to be conducted and reports, etc.

10.1.1 The Internal Monitoring Institution

The internal monitoring will be in the charge of the leading Group of the Land Acquisition,

Demolition and Resettlement of Wushan County, but the detailed operative work will be

conducted by the Land and Resources Bureau of Wushan County and the group of the migrant

resettlement on the specific village and town levels. The fundamental purpose of the internal

monitoring is to ensure that all the agencies on different levels can function effectively in the

course of executing this resettlement plan, and to ensure the protection of the legal rights and

interests of those influenced by the project as well as the successful implementation of the entire

project.

10.1.2 Internal Monitoring Objective

(1). To check the progress and completion of the land acquisition and demolition.

(2). To ensure an unblocked channel of communication and negotiation between those in charge

of the project and the persons affected by this project.

(3). To ensure that the persons affected by the project are to receive their compensations at the



time stipulated by the agreement without any corruption involved.

(4) To ensure that the appeals proposed by the persons affected by the project are to be handled

within the stipulated period of time.

10.1.3 The Main Content of the Internal Monitoring

information of the persons affected by the project and convey this progress to the agency

responsible for the project in the county.

10.2 External Monitoring and Evaluation

10.2.1 External Monitoring Institution

The current external monitoring agency entrusted by Halcraw will conduct the external

monitoring for this project, and submit the related report to ADB through CPMO.

10.2.2 External Monitoring Objectives

(1). To ensure that the living standard of the persons affected by the project will be reinstated to

and remain at the original level after the completion of the land acquisition, demolition and

compensation work.
