A. Project Introduction
1. Significance and Purpose of Project Construction
The project refers to the Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger
Line Double-track Electrification Railway Construction project.
Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line is a part of Beijing-Guangzhou
Special Passenger Line- Chinese high-speed railway network
consisting of "Four transverse and four longitudinal railways". As the
major channel for south-north transportation of China, construction of
Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line will not only fulfill separate
transportation of passenger and freight, improve the passenger
transportation service quality in a large range, abridge time-space
distance between cities along the line, improve the service frequency
and facilitate the tourists'outgoing, but also release capacity of
Beijing-Guangzhou Line, effectively alleviate the tensioned freight
transportation situation, and meet the passenger and freight
transportationdemands of cities along the railway line and the affected
areas. It is of great significance for China to implement the
sustainable development strategy, enlarge radiation intensity of Bohai
rim economic circle towards the central and western areas, promote
the reasonable configuration of resources, drive healthy and rapid
development of the national economy and improve the
comprehensive national strengths of China. It is expected that this
project and the relevant development activities will promote
development of industry, natural resources and the tourism, create
employment opportunities, increase income of the poor, and alleviate
the local poverty situation.
2. Project Composition
Shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou Special Passenger Line starts from
Shijiazhuang City in north- the provincial city of Hebei Province and
extends to the Yellow River SuperLarge Bridge (exclusive of it) in
Zhengzhou in south. The trunk line of it is 355.17km long in total. It
extends 204.62km within the territory of Hebei Province and
150.55km within the territory of Henan Province. It passes by
Shijiazhuang City, Xingtai City and Handan City of Hebei Province,
Anyang City, Hebi City and Xinxiang City of Henan Province. Six
stations in total will be established along the entire line. The new
Xingtai Station, new Handan Station, new Anyang Station, new Hebi
Station and the new Xinxiang Station are the intermediate stations.
The new Gaoyi Station is the overtaking station. There are 72 super
large and medium and large bridges along the trunk line of the special
passenger line and they amount to 246171.75m. The length of the
bridges accounts for 69.3% of the length of the trunk line.
It is expected that the total costs will be RMB 35.068654 billion yuan
or so. It is jointly hnded by the Ministry of Railways, Hebei Province
and Henan Province. The World Bank will provide a sum of loan
totalling USD 300 million. The civil engineering of the control
projects will start at the beginning of 2007. The railway will be open
for traffic officially at the end of May 201 1.

3. Measures for Avoidance or mitigation of impact due to LAR
One of key design principles in the railway line location is to reduce
expropriation and house demolition as well as reconstruction as
possible. Expropriation and house demolition for the project will be
started early 2007, and measures for mitigation of expropriation
impact include:
"Approach, but not go through, the urban area": in other words,
avoidance of the urban areas, towns and the highly crowded areas;
The railway line will go through the side of a village, but not the
center, so as to decrease the relocation of houses and buildings and
occupation of fertile land and economic forests;
The railway line will run parallel to the current highways or
national roads to the largest extent possible and get as closer as
possible to them, so as to decrease the expropriated land and
obstruction to land partition and travel;
Be away from or avoid the natural scenic areas, waterhead and
other facilities that are sensitive to shock and noise;
Makes bridges play the role of roads (the bridges account for
69.3%) to the largest extent possible in a bid to decrease the land
occupation;
Be helphl to improve the ambient environment of the railway
line, promote the economic development and create social and
economic benefits.
B. Scope of Impacts
4. General
To ascertain relocation and expropriation objects and quantity of the
project, based upon the expropriation and relocation scope and the
expropriation and relocation indices in kind of the project listed under
the Feasibility Study (First Draft) as of April 2006 of TSDI-the
designer of the project, TSDI organized, during April-August 2006,
the concerned persons to analyze the indices in kind of different
impact targets such as people, houses, land and exclusive facilities
listed under the Feasibility Study as of September 2006 and carried
out the supplementary investigation.
Survey method of people, land and houselbuilding: ascertain the
houseslbuildings and auxiliary facilities to the concrete families based
upon the Feasibility Study (First draft) as of April 2006 of TSDI as
well as the foundation to divide owership limit of county
(citylprefecture), township and village (resident' s committee). Full
investigation into quantity of people involved and affected by
houselbuilding relocation; ascertainment of land to the village
(resident's committee) and supplementary inviestigation of other land
types.
The expropriation and relocation impact scope of the project consists
of twenty-five counties (cities, prefectures), sixty townships
(townships) and 316 administrative villages (resident's committee).
The relocation affects and involves 22 counties (cities, prefectures),
42 counties (township) and 71 administrative villages (resident's
committee). The relocation and resettlement residents total 150,873
persons of 3029 families. The lands expropriated amount to 17,568mu;
the land occupied temporarily for purpose of construction amounts to
13,284mu; The area of houses/building relocated for purpose of
construction of the project total 368,557m2 (where housing is 343365
m2, simple structure is 25 192 m2), 3 1 ,300m2 of h~useslbuildin~ shall
be relocated to meet the shock conformity. 162,660 units of scattered
trees and a small amount of auxiliary and exclusive facilities will be
influenced along the railway line will be felled.
The population affected by the permanently expropriated land is
9,815 persons. 1,285 persons of them lose the ownership of all lands.
The rural relocation and resettlement population is 15,087 persons
and 4,134 persons will be affected by relocation and resettlement of
eight schools and forty-seven enterprises. In addition, it is estimated
that 984 persons will be affected by relocation and resettlement for
consideration of environment protection and that 7,380 persons will
be affected by the temporary land occupation. So, it is estimated
currently that the population that will be affected by the project
directly amounts to 37,400 persons.
4.1 Land to be acquired
-The project-related expropriation and relocation consists of
subgrade, barrel-drain, culverts and stations of the railway line.
Generally speaking, the bridge projects of the project are 2 1 -meter-
wide. The subgrade projects are usually 35-46m wide to meet
different heights and gradients of the subgrade projects. The station
sites are usually 150-200m wide (the station line extends
approximately 1,900m). The total area of the lands expropriated for
the project is 17,568mu, consisting of 16,082mu arable land, 440mu
garden plot, 1 Olmu woodland and 947mu land for other purposes.
County (city and prefecture) and township (township) specific
quantity of land expropriation is listed in Table 2.
-The temporary land occupation of the project consists of land
occupied temporarily for purpose of stock ground, spoil ground,
facilities to meet living during the construction period and temporary
roads. In total 13,284mu lands are borrowed by the project and the
averge borrow period is one year.
The project maintains one tracking base, sixteen beam fabrication and
stock yards, thirteen graded gravel blending stations, nineteen
improved soil blending stations and seven track plates prefabrication
sites. The newly built construction shortcuts are 61. lkm long, the
restructured construciton shortcuts are 148.5km long and the newly
built railway side lines are 1.2km long. The barren mountain and
slopes shall be selected as the borrow ground of the project. The
nineteen borrow grounds of the project consist of fourteen slow slope
wasteland and five dry lands. The farming level of 0.3-0.4m of the
arable land that will be used for construction of temporary projects
and borrow grounds shall be stocked aside before the construction
starts. After the project is over, the surface shall be rehabilitated for
farming. At the same time, the earth bag weir shall be established
surrounding the temporary stock ground for protection.
Consideration shall be made for the temporary projects to make them
serve both the permanent and temporary purposes. The existing sites
or the permanenet expropriation land and city land within the station
area shall be used to the largest extent, Consideration shall be made to
construct the construction shortcuts of the project for both temporary
and permanet purposes, with a view to make them serve as approach
station roads, village roads, railway maintenance roads. The
construction vehicles shall go strictly by the specified traveling roads,
so as to prevent the construction vehicles from pressing and
destroying the original surface vegetation randomly during the
construction period.

Demolition Coverage for Environment Impact and Environment
Protection
Impact scope of noise is the areas that are located on both sides of the
railway line and are less than 200m away from the centerline of the
outer track. The impact scope of shock refers to the scope that is
within 100m away from the centerline of the outer track. The impact
scope of electromagnetic radiation for TV program signal reception is
the scope that is within 80m away from the centerline of the outer
track on both sides of the railway line respectively. The impact scope
of shelter and reflection by the elevated line is the scope that is within
160m away from the centerline of the outer track on both sides of the
railway line respectively.
In order for the project to meet indoor vibration goal, additional house
of 30500m2 shall be removed (according to environment impact
report presented by No. 3 Railway Survey & Design Institute Nov.
2006). Other impacts can be avoided or reduced by taking some
measures, so goal can be reached.
Please refer to Table 5 for environment friendly relocation quantity.

4.3 Fixed assets taken
-In total 162,660 pieces of scattered trees along the railway line
will be influenced, 141,160 of them are within the territory of Hebei
Province and 21,500 are within the territory of Henan Province. In
total 205 tombs shall be relocated for construction of the project, 120
of them are within the territory of Hebei Province and 85 of them are
within the territory of Henan Province.
-The rural production and living facilities affected by
construction of the project consist mainly of machinery farming roads,
footpath, motor-pumped well and irrigation channels. Where the
project necessarily occupies 530 pumped wells in total (320 wells in
Hebei Province and 210 wells in Henan Province).
-The appropriate irrigation and drainage culverts shall be set at
sections where the line passes by the flood drainage ditch and the
agricultural irrigation channels. When the project occupies or covers
the above-mentioned facilities, the moval and restructuring shall be
carried out to assure that functions of the original facilities will not be
affected.
-After the project is implemented, it is evitable that the subgrade
and station will partition the villages and arable land, inconveniencing
the travel and work of the residents. It is designed to be a hl ly flyover
project and sections where it crosses the current roads and the planned
roads are designed with bridges or culverts. The bridge culverts may
be used as passengers of residents on both sides of the railway and
impact will be decreased.
-The barrel-drain shall be designed in line with the local situation,
economical and suitable. They shall be made at sections with good
landform and good geological conditions to the largest extent possible.
The outlet of the barrel-drain shall be introduced to the natural
channels. Efforts shall be made to prevent the water from entering
into the farmland and villages to harrnlinfluence the agricultural
production and the people's living.
-The construction shortcuts for both permanent and temporary
purposes of the project shall be taken into consideration, so as to find
out the way to use them as station-approach roads, village roads and
railway maintenance roads. The construction shortcuts shall be set
based upon the situation of the local machine farming roads, so as to
make use of the original machinery farming roads and existing roads
to the largest extent possible (the original roads used reach 148.5km)
and reduce impact to the agricultural operation environment by
building temporary roads.
-The affected exclusive facilities of the project consist mainly of
power line, communication optical fiber, etc. It is designed that the
alleviation and repair measures will be applied in respect of project
design.
Please refer to Table 6 for statistics of the degree of the influence.

5. Impact on Socio-Cultural Environment
5.1 Nationalities
The line connects Hebei Province and Henan Province and is
located at the central plains, the birthplace of the ancient culture
of China. Through consultation of chorography and relevant
documents of each city and county, there isn't natural village
and township of minority along the railway line.
Through verification of the site investigation made by TSDI
through December 2005 through March 2006 for purpose of
development of the feasibility study to the socio-economic
survey made by TSDI from April through August 2006 as well
as consultation with the local civil adminstration departments in
this regard, it is acknowledged that there isn't minority resident
along the railway line.
5.2 Cultural Relics
The line links Hebei Province and Henan Province and passes
by the birthplace of the ancient culture of China. There are
abundant tourism resources along the railway line. There isn't
other rare cultural relic within the impact scope of the project
currently on the basis of consultation with the local competent
authority of cultural relics as well as the primary survey and the
collected materials.
The construction unit shall communicate with the cultural relics
departments of Hebei Province and Henan Province before the
construction starts and keep close contact with them. The
construction unit shall do a good job of cultural relics protection
in line with the requirements of the competent authorities.
In addition, the awareness to protection cultural relics and
cultural relics census shall be intensified in the course of the
construction, with a view to avoid damage to the historic and
cultural relics. The construction shall be halted without any
delay upon discovery of the cultural relics. The cultural relics
site shall be well protected. The competent authority of cultural
relics and the concerned departments shall be advised of it
immediately. It is up to them to fix the professional protection
measures and decide the following construction.

7. Policy Objectives
Key policy objectives include:
a) Avoidance or minimization of land acquisition and other
adverse impacts
b) Those adversely affected ("displaced persons," as defined
below) are compensated at replacement cost for lost assets,
and otherwise receive any assistance necessary to provide
them with sufficient opportunity to improve, or at least
restore, incomes and living standards
8. Policy Principles
Key policy principles include:
(a) When possible, resettlement plans should be conceived as
development opportunities, so that those affected may
benefit from project activities.
(b) Lack of legal rights does not bar displaced persons in
peaceful possession from compensation or alternative forms
of assistance.
(c) Compensation rates refer to amounts to be paid in full to the
individual or collective owner of the lost asset, without
deduction for any purpose. In China, individual owners
receive compensation for affected structures and other fixed
assets, and villages receive compensation for acquired land
in rural areas.
(d) When cultivated land is acquired, it often is preferable to
arrange for land-for-land replacement through collective land
redistribution. In some cases, as when only small proportions
of income are earned through agriculture, alternative
measures such as payment of cash or provision of
employment are acceptable if preferred by the persons losing
agricultural land.
(e) Replacement houseplots, sites for relocating businesses, or
redistributed agricultural land should be of equivalent use
value to the land that was lost.
(f) Transition periods should be minimized. Compensation
should be paid prior to the time of impact, so that new
houses can be constructed, fixed assets can be removed or
replaced, and other necessary measures can be undertaken
before displacement begins.
(g) Displaced persons are consulted during the planning process,
so their preferences regarding resettlement arrangements are
considered; resettlement plans are disclosed in a publicly
accessible manner.
(h) The previous level of community infrastructure and services
and access to resources will be maintained or improved after
resettlement.
(i) The borrower is responsible for meeting costs associated
with land acquisition and resettlement, including
contingencies.
(j) Resettlement plans include adequate institutional
arrangements to ensure effective implementation of
resettlement measures.
(k) Resettlement plans include arrangements for internal and
external monitoring of resettlement implementation.
(1) Resettlement plans include procedures by which displaced
persons can pursue grievances.
Definition of "Affected Population"
"Displaced persons" refers to all the people who, on account of
the activities listed above, would have their (1) standard of
living adversely affected ; or (2)right, title, interest in any
house, land (including premises, agricultural and grazing land)
or any other fixed or movable asset acquired or possessed
temporarily or permanently; (3) access to productive assets
adversely affected, temporarily or permanently; or (4)business,
occupation, work or place of residence or habitat adversely
affected; and "displaced person" means any of the displaced
persons.
10. Definition of "Replacement Cost " "Replacement cost" is defined as follows: For agricultural land,
it is the pre-project or pre-displacement, whichever is higher,
market value of land of equal productive potential or use located
in the vicinity of the affected land, plus the cost of preparing the
land to levels similar to those of the affected land, plus the cost
of any registration and transfer taxes. For land in urban areas, it
is the pre-displacement market value of land of equal size and
use, with similar or improved public infrastructure facilities and
services and located in the vicinity of the affected land, plus the
cost of any registration and transfer taxes. For houses and other
structures, it is the market cost of the materials to build a
replacement structure with an area and quality similar to or
better than those of the affected structure, or to repair a partially
affected structure, plus the cost of transporting building
materials to the construction site, plus the cost of any labor and
contractors' fees, plus the cost of any registration and transfer
taxes. In determining the replacement cost, depreciation of the
asset and the value of salvage materials are not taken into
account, nor is the value of benefits to be derived fiom the
project deducted from the valuation of an affected asset. Where
domestic law does not meet the standard of compensation at full
replacement cost, compensation under domestic law is
supplemented by additional measures so as to meet the
replacement cost standard. Such additional assistance is distinct
from resettlement measures to be provided under other clauses
in OP 4.12, para. 6.
D. Compensation
11. Compensation
On the basis of the Rules of Hebei Province for Land
Administration revised in May 2005 and the Implementary
Measures of Henan Province for the Land Administration Law
revised in June 2005, the compensation rates this project adopts
are introduced hereinafter. Refer to Table 1 1, 12for different
compensation rates.
11.1 Land compensation fee
The land compensation fee and resettlement subsidy of
permanently expropriated land shall be several times of AAOV
of the expropriated farmland.
Hebei Province:
Land compensation fee:
Farmland: 6-10 times
Agricultural lands and construction lands other than
farmland: 5-8 times
Unused land: 3-5 times
Resettlement subsidy:
Farmland: 4-6 times
Agricultural lands and construction lands other than
farmland: 4-6 times
Unused land: no resettlement subsidy.
According to the relevant regulations set forth in the Rules
of Hebei Province for Land Administration, resettlement
subsidy shall be increased as approved by the provincial
government when the original standard of living of the
farmers can't be maintained after payment of land
compensation fee and resettlement subsidy. However, the
total sum of land administration fee and resettlement subsidy
shall not exceed the following limit:
Farmland: no more than 30 times of the AAOV of the
expropriated farmland;
Agricultural lands and construction lands other than
farmland: no more than 25 times of the AAOV of the town
where the expropriated land is located.
Henan Province:
Land compensation fee:
Farmland: 6 times for the suburbs of a municipality under
the provincial government, 5 times for other suburbs, mining
areas and towns under a county, and 4 times for other areas.
Other lands: 3 times.
Resettlement subsidy:
The criteria for resettlement subsidy per mu of expropriated
farmland is as follows: 3 times of the annual output value for
per capita farmland of one mu or more, 4 times of the annual
output value for per capita farmland of over 0.7mu but below
one mu, 5 times of the annual output value for per capita
farmland of over 0.5mu but below 0.7mu, 7 times of the
annual output value for per capita farmland of over 0.3mu
but below 0.5mu, and 10 times of the annual output value for
per capita farmland of below 0.3mu.
For expropriation of other lands, the resettlement subsidy
shall be paid by 2-6 times of the annual output value of the
expropriated land.
In the event that the original standard of living of the farmers
can't be maintained after payment of land compensation fee
and resettlement subsidy, the municipal government shall
submit a resettlement plan and a proposal for increase of
resettlement subsidy to the provincial government for
approval, so as to increase the resettlement subsidy
reasonably. However, the total sum of land administration
fee and resettlement subsidy shall not exceed 20 times of the
AAOV of the expropriated land.
Woodland
Compensation shall be made according to the value of the wood
cumulation in the land. For expropriation of woodland of young
woods, compensation shall be made by 50% of the value of the
adult woods. For expropriation of shrub woodland and sparse
woodland, compensation shall be made by 3 times of the annual
output value per mu to the affected forest administration, which
shall be responsible for recovery of the equal amount of
woodland.
-Residential land, house 1 building and their accessories
The compensation for loss of residential land, house 1 building
and their accessories shall be made in full on the basis of
replacement cost, without deduction of the removal cost and the
remaining value of the building materials. Compensation for
residential land shall be directly paid to the affected village, and
on the basis of negotiation between the village commission and
the affected villagers, the commission shall provide the affected
farmer families with free residential land. If this approach
doesn't work, the township government shall take the
responsibility. For houses, other buildings, apartments, and the
relevant accessories, the compensation shall be made directly to
the affected people according to the replacement cost. Land
transfer cost and other related costs shall be paid by the project
owner if not exempted.
For tenants of the affected houses, lease contracts of the same
conditions shall be provided to them. They shall be informed
two months in advance before they move out of the houses.
11.3 Young crop compensation
Compensation for young crops of the expropriated lands in
Hebei Province shall be calculated with the output value of
season crops.
Compensation for young crops of the expropriated lands in
Henan Province shall be made to the following criteria: 60-80%
of season output value of the planted young crops, and 40-60%
of season output value of the non-planted young crops.
11.4 Moving and Transition Subsidy
In addition to house and land compensations, relocation subsidy
shall also be paid. This includes resettlement / relocation cost
and house rent fee during transition period inclusive of
contingency loss and expenses relating to house relocation and
new house construction (relocation transit subsidy), all family
articles and building materials for new house construction and
old house removal, and cost of move to the new house
(transport subsidy). All said subsidies shall be paid to the
affected farmer families at one go. In normal cases, the affected
people build their houses on their own, and they may stay in
their relatives' houses during construction of their new houses.
In the event that they don't have free accommodation, the
affected people will get rent subsidy for six months for payment
of house rate to the criteria of RMB60 per month per person. In
the case that an affected person doesn't resettle (in six months),
the project execution organization shall double the transit
subsidy for the affected person losing hidher house (RMB120
per month per person).
In addtion, RMBYSOO for each household expended on three
accesses and site leveling at centralized resettlement locations is
accounted in estimation budget, and used at centralized
resettlement locations under central control by local
governments.
11.5 Compensation for loss of business / employment opportunities
In the event that commerce or business along the railway to be
constructed is affected, transit subsidy for move from the old
place to the new place shall also be paid in addition to the house
compensation. This subsidy shall be calculated on the basis of
the after-tax profit for the six months before move, which is
issued by the taxation bureau.
11.6 Relocation of public buildings
Compensation shall be made for all affected public buildings to
the owner in cash, or they shall all be re-constructed. For school
buildings, new school buildings shall be established before
removal of the old ones. In the event that these public buildings
are to be expanded by this chance, the project organization shall
require the local owner to provide the supporting hnds (thus
ensuring 100% of hnds needed for building construction).
11.7 Land adjustment
Generally speaking, the land-deprived farm families will get
"land for land" through land adjustment inside the villagers'
commission. In the event that land adjustment can't assure that
the farmer families obtain sufficient farmland, cash payment
shall be made for compensation while land adjustment is made.
This payment may be made to the farmer families that choose
this way of compensation, and 1 or those farmer families that
don't get sufficient land after land adjustment. The
compensation rate shall be determined according to the actual
situations and after negotiations between county governments,
affected villages and affected people.
11.8 Training courses
The affected people will take certain training courses in the
place where the county or town is located for a period of two
weeks. All participants will have subsidies for travel, food and
accommodation. Also, some h n d will be provided for some
special training courses in the project area. These training
courses may be provided after land expropriation or even after
relocation. These trainings courses include those on building
workers, as well as agricultural techniques or non-agricultural
skills. Basically, the farmers will have fair compensation for
their lost land so as to recover their incomes. However, the post-
resettlement training courses may assure that some farmer
families won't get into the trouble of poverty after lost of their
lands.
11.9 Compensation qualifications and closing date
For the lands, buildings 1 houses, crops, and sources of income
that the affected populations and organizations (privately or
publicly owned) lose, compensation and rehabilitation shall be
made by the types and quantities of these losses. These losses
include the data of impact acquired during the detailed
measurement and survey by TSDI and Shi-Zheng Railway
construction agency, or the goods temporarily affected during
construction.
Generally, the local government will issue an order prohibiting
construction of any new building along the railway. However,
the routing of the railway has not been determined due to some
reasons. Therefore, for those cases of uncertainties / disputes,
the date on which the detailed measurement and survey is
completed can be taken as the closing date of compensation
qualification. After the closing date, the farmlands, buildings,
and other goods of the affected people in the project area won't
be listed in the range of compensation or subsidy. Buildings,
crops or trees added only for additional compensation won't be
compensated for.
E. Rehabilitation Measures
12.1 House Demolition and Restoration Plan
12.1.1 New Site Planning, Development and Selection
No village needs to move as a whole. The farmer families will
reconstruct their houses right in their own villages, and it is not
necessary to develop new sites. Most farmer families that need
relocation are independent or dispersed along the line. However,
over ten farmer families need to move in some places (there is
no such a case that over one hundred farmer families have to
move).
Massive relocation is usually due to construction of railway
stations, and is not necessary in this project.
All buildings planned to relocate will be "relocated in the field"
according to the regulations of the World Bank. In most cases,
the villages of the affected people will provide the new sites for
construction of their houses. Due to routing or station
construction, some villages will arrange relocation with their
existing lands, and the affected people will choose "backward
relocation" on their own. There is no such a case that " the
Ministry of Railways selects the relocation site".
The relocation plan is based on the following three aspects:
(1)The capability of the village-level communities of
conducting land adjustment. The project is a linear one.
Compared with other projects of the same scale, it occupies
less land. If the all villagers of the affected villages share the
loss of lands, the per capita loss of farmland may be very
small. Therefore, it would be no problem for the local
communities to adjust the lands.
(2)The capability of the village-level communities of providing
new residential lands. Out of the 71 villages, 3029 affected
farmer families will move. On average, 43 families need new
residential lands in each village. According to the overall
land planning of each village, they reserve residential lands
(non-farming lands). The residences are distributed, and it is
no problem to select the residential lands.
(3)Selection of new residential lands by the affected people.
Although most affected people can easily get suitable
residential lands in the vicinity of their farmlands, their
preference in selection of residential lands shall be extremely
respected. For instance, the relocation plan for distributed or
centralized residence shall be flexible. The centralized
residential areas are usually designed according to the
development status of the communities or cities, and more
business opportunities may appear to attract more affected
farmer families. In whichever case, the preference of the
affected people in selection of residential lands shall be
discussed at the village-level meetings.
Ways of house rehabilitation
The measures for expropriation and resettlement for destroyed
rural and urban residences are as follows:
The farmer families are resettled separately. They will construct
houses for themselves. The house compensation allowances
include labor and material costs. The farmer families that
choose to construct houses on their own may use the allowances
to increase the area or improve the fitments of the new houses.
Alternatively, they may construct a house similar to their
original one, and use the allowances in some other way. The
sites of new houses will be determined through discussions with
the villagers and villages. Selection of sites for new houses may
carried out through discussions with the villagers and villages,
and the villages may provide the farmer families with sites of
new houses free of charge.
Centralized resettlement is preferred in construction of new
villages. Streets and stores will be constructed according to the
small town development plan. There are several choices. No. 1,
the local governments take care of construction of streets and
supporting infrastructure facilities, while the affected people
construct their houses according to the uniform plan. No. 2, the
equivalent houses will be returned to the affected people. No. 3,
cash compensation may be provided to the affected people
instead of new house construction if they like. It shall be up to
the affected people which approach shall be adopted.
The principle for building relocation is construction the first and
removal the second. In the case of removal the first and
construction the second, rent subsidy shall be paid for the transit
period. In either case, transport fee shall be paid.
The expropriation and resettlement offices at the county and
city level shall be responsible for review of the expropriation
and resettlement plan, distribution of the expropriation and
resettlement funds, as well as preparation, management and
control of the expropriation and resettlement process. The
expropriation and resettlement offices shall also work with the
Ministry of Railways. The township expropriation and
resettlement offices shall as implementation bodies of
expropriation and resettlement, and will consult with the
villagers and representatives from the farmer commissions, so
as to establish resettlement action plans suitable for each village.
The resettlement action plan of each village will be approved by
the country or municipal expropriation and resettlement office,
and implemented by the township expropriation and
resettlement office and villagers commission.
During relocation and relocation, the following principles shall
be followed:
The new sites for construction of houses must be provided to
the farmer families for free, so that they don't have to pay for
lands for construction of houses. The provided land area shall
be equal to that of the old house.
The new sites of houses will be determined between the
villagers commissions and the affected farmer families through
negotiations. The affected farmer families are prone to construct
their new houses where convenient transport is available,
namely, in the vicinity of highway or county-level roads. The
villages will fulfill their needs to the max extent, and in the
range of new sites available for construction of their new houses,
the farmer families may select their specific sites.
It takes four or five months to build a farmer house. The
affected farmer families hope to build their houses on their own.
They may take building materials from the old houses. However,
using the building materials taken from the old houses doesn't
necessarily mean the cost of these building materials shall be
deducted from the house compensation.
The affected people will get relocation compensation. The
county-level expropriation and resettlement offices (CRO) will
provide cash directly to the affected farmer families.
The principle stipulates that new houses shall be built before old
houses are removed. In the case of removal the first and
construction the second, rent subsidy shall be paid for the transit
period, so that they can rent houses. During the transit period,
the farmer families may stay in their relatives' houses. In this
case, the transit subsidy shall also be paid to them.
Even though the farmer families build their new houses in the
same villages, transport fee shall still be paid to them as
stipulated. The transport fee shall be separately listed, or
combined with other item of compensation.
When the farmer families re-build their new houses, they shall
pay the additional expenses if they want to increase the area or
improve the quality of their houses. On the basis of their
financial strength, they may make their own decision whether or
not to increase the area or improve the quality of their houses.
The villager commissions, the township governments, and the
expropriation and resettlement offices will be responsible for
house reconstruction and relocation of the affected farmer
families. The governments at all levels will jointly resolve the
issues that take place.
Those farmer families with women playing the major role shall
enjoy equal treatment in house reconstruction, opportunities and
compensations. Any behavior of reducing their house areas or
depriving them of their rights will be illegal.
Villagers commissions, township governments, and
expropriation and resettlement offices will pay special attention
to the poverty-stricken farmer families, the handicapped, and
the protected families, and provide assistance to them. If they
can't build their houses on their own, the governments at all
levels will help them with their relocation and resettlement.
There are two measures: helping them build their houses, or
buying houses of the same area and quality for them in the same
villages.
There is one possibility for relocation of urban residents, i.e.,
they bought commodity houses. In this case, they will get
compensation of replacement cost. That is, they will be
compensated at the market price of local commodity houses, so
that they can re-buy commodity houses. In addition, transport
subsidy shall be paid to them.
The second possibility for urban residents is that they bought
lands on which they built their houses on their own. In this case,
they will get new sites of the same area and quality as well as
compensation for house construction and transport fee.
Chinese farmers shall apply for building houses in the lands that
belong to the villages. The application shall be approved by the
villagers meeting, reviewed by the villagers commissions and
township governments, and eventually submitted to the county
or city government for approval. This type of lands for house
construction is free, and the farmers have to pay few proceeding
fees.
This type of land allocation is sufficient for the farmers. The
farmer families may use over 100 m2 lands to build two-four
floor brick houses or concrete houses. At present, most farmers
along Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line adopt new designs to
build their houses. The new designs occupy less land area than
the old designs (bungalows), while the area of new houses is
equal to or bigger than that of the old houses. The fowls and
livestocks of the relocation families won't be adversely affected
by the relocation.
Implement new village construction through relocation
In a village with over 30 families of relocation, rural
reconstruction shall be accelerated through the relocation, and
new village construction shall be implemented. On the basis of
village and town planning, construction of rural infrastructure
facilities shall be accelerated.
Firstly, a scientific and rational village and town planning,
construction and management system shall be established, and
the planning and construction of villages and towns shall be
standardized. On the principles of "adjusting measures to the
local conditions, giving prominence to the local features, being
unprecedented to some extent, and making accomplishment at
one go" and in line with the requirements of "removing and
combining small villages, removing hollow villages, reducing
natural villages, and constructing central villages", special
forces shall be organized to plan the layout of the villages in the
area, and prepare the outlines of the villages.
Secondly, on the principle of "planning the first and
construction the second, and no planning no approval for
construction", the planning shall be strictly abided by. The
approved planning shall be strictly followed to guide the
villagers to do a good job in construction of houses,
infrastructure facilities and public utilities, encourage the
villagers to adopt a variety of construction modes, such as
dispersed families moving into the villages, reconstruction of
the original villages, protective reconstruction of historic
villages, naturally ecological villages, and new farmer villages.
Thirdly, construction of villager houses shall stick to such
principles as compliance with planning, limiting to their
abilities, respecting the farmers' wishes, and being stylish.
Compulsory requirements shall not be applied, and it is not
necessary to build all villages with one look. Total removal and
complete reconstruction, which is not practical, shall not be
adopted.
Fourthly, village appearance shall be improved, and the
environment of township bazaars shall be controlled. Great
efforts shall be made to carry out the clean village program,
conduct such activities as "removing waste, removing slurry,
removing road barriers, improving roads, improving water
pipeline, improving kitchens, improving toilets, and improving
pens", beautify the environment, lead the farmers to resolve the
issue that residences are mixed with fowl and livestock pens,
and realize the people's expectations of "flat roads, clean water,
clean toilets, and clean houses".
Fifthly, great efforts shall be made to complete the
infrastructure facilities of villages and towns as well as their
service functions. The clear village program shall be accelerated,
and focus shall be on hardening of village roads. Regenerative
clean energy sources as marsh gas and straw gasification shall
be greatly developed in the villages, and efforts shall also be
made to push the farmer families to improve their water pipeline,
toilets, pens, kitchens, and baths.
Promotion of three-connection marsh gas toilets: three-
connection marsh gas toilets shall be connected to toilets,
livestock pens, and marsh gas tanks. Excrement and urine
directly enter the tanks through straight pipes without being
exposed. The liquid and debris shall not be taken out of the
outlet unless full fermentation. The raw materials are rationally
configured, and include excrement and urine, pen straw, ground
straw, vegetation, hydrophytic plants, weeds, etc. The marsh
liquid and debris may be used as fertilizers.
Promotion of ecological toilets with excrement and urine
separately collected: this kind of toilet comprises of urine
storage tank, excrement storage tank, and heat absorption plate.
Adding ash after relieving is the key to management of this kind
of toilet. Sufficient ash keeps the excrement dry. Before the first
use of this kind of toilet, 5-10cm ash shall be added in advance.
After use each time, certain amount of ash shall be added, to be a more exact, three times of excrement. Excrement is kept in the
tank for about 0.5-1 year. Urine shall not enter the excrement
storage tank. The urine storage tank shall be away from sunlight,
and closed. Urine shall be diluted with five times of water, and
directly used as fertilizer.
12.1.4 Ways of compensation and transit
Since most building materials of the new houses are from the
old houses, new houses can't be built unless the old houses are
removed. According to the survey results, during the 3-5
months of transit period, the affected people have two ways to
get accommodation: (1) staying in relative's houses; and (2)
setting up tents on the new sites. Since most building materials
of the new houses are from the old houses, transit compensation
shall be paid to the affected farmer families in all counties and
cities. However, if the affected farmer families don't agree with
the said measure due to any reason, the project implementation
organization shall agree to provide them with temporary houses
for six months or longer. In this case, it is not necessary to pay
transit compensation to them.
The compensation will be paid to the farmer families before the
old houses are removed. The supporting facilities of all houses,
including rails, toilets, pens, yards, water banks, wells, cables,
fruit trees, other trees, and plants, shall be all compensated for.
This is to protect the interests of the relocation farmers.
Special attention shall be paid to the poverty-stricken families
and vulnerable groups, like families with handicapped members,
with women mainly taking care of everything, and old people.
In the event that they fall across any problem during transit,
resettlement or reconstruction of their houses, the villagers
commissions and the town governments shall provide them with
assistance. Recommendations, free provision of building
materials, or cash compensation may be provided to them.
These measures aim to successful expropriation and
resettlement of the farmer families, and better residential
conditions than before.
Some farmer families may accept additional compensation,
which is not over the criteria for replacement cost. Most new
brick houses and concrete houses are built in the suburbs of
cities or towns. The final result of compensation is that all
relocation families successfully accept and conduct relocation.
12.2 Production rehabilitation
If a farmer family loses a small piece of land, the village will re-
allocate their lands, and the compensation for the lost land will
be used to improve the productivity of the remaining land. For
instance, the compensation may be used to improve the
irrigation facilities. That is, through investment, the village can
achieve equal or higher productivity with the fewer lands.
If industrial or commercial buildings, which belong to profit-
making enterprises, are removed, the compensation may be used
to reconstruct their buildings, so that they can continue their
operations at the same or better level.
If a farmer family loses most or all land, and doesn't have new
land as compensation, the compensation fee the farmer family
gets may be used in small business, training or education, move
to a place with land available or opportunity of employment.
If suitable audit and management system is available and the
requirements of Chinese laws and the World Bank are fulfilled,
the compensation will be sufficient to address the needs of the
affected people, and their incomes and living will be assured.
The auditing and reporting procedures incorporated in the
resettlement action plan can assure their incomes and living.
12.3 Resettlement of enterprises and schools
The compensation and its payment schedule shall be
corresponding to relocation and reconstruction of non-
residential facilities. The policy for relocation of non-residential
facilities is for completion of relocation before confirmation of
lands for railway construction. This is especially important to
the affected schools.
No big plant or enterprise has to relocate. Some small township
enterprise, like some repair stores, small brick plants, small
workshops, and small metal material processing shops, may be
affected. Some belong to the local governments, some belong to
villages, and some are privately owned.
The affected commercial buildings, plants and enterprises for
profit making purpose will be reconstructed. To them, transport
fee and compensation for loss of income during relocation shall
be paid, and the market price of the relocation sites shall be
considered.
The towns or village commissions shall be responsible for
reconstruction of the affected schools after receiving the
compensation. If a school needs expansion, the town
government or village commission will take care of the
additional cost.
The compensation for relocation of these enterprises includes
three parts:
Compensation for factory building and other buildings;
Cost of equipment transport;
Compensation for loss due to shutdown.
These fees are paid to the owners of the enterprises. The criteria
for (1) compensation are similar to those of compensation for
farmer houses. For (2) and (3) compensation, the criteria will be
determined between the railway owner and the affected parties
through negotiations.
The towns and villages will help these enterprises reconstruct
their buildings and recover their production, and guide and help
them to select new sites. The township or village-level
enterprises shall have new sites still in the lands of the towns
and villages. The privately owned enterprises usually rent the
lands from the village collectives. Obtaining compensation, they
can still rent lands from the rural collectives to re-open their
plants or other businesses.
The details of preliminary estimate on compensation of
enterprises and institutions affected by construction of this
project sees table 8.

12.4 Reconstruction of infrastructure 1 public facilities
The affected infrastructure facilities include water supply
(including drinking water and irrigation water) facilities, power
cables, telecom cables, and roads. Most infrastructure facilities
are public one. Some are state owned, some by the local
governments, and some by the rural collectives (like irrigation
channels and township roads).
There are mainly three measures for reconstruction of the
infrastructure facilities affected by Shi-Zheng Special Passenger

Some infrastructure facilities will be directly reconstructed by
the construction agency during construction of the railway, for
instance, the irrigation channels and village roads.
The power cables and telecom cables will be reconstructed by
some special organizations on the account of the Ministry of
Railways.
The public infrastructure facilities, like water towners and
power transmission lines, will be reconstructed through
compensation by the constructor to the relevant organization.
The local farmers pay special attention to the adverse impact of
Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line to the irrigation facilities.
There are two ways out: reconstruction of the irrigation
facilities by the railway construction agency, or reconstruction
of them by the affected people with the compensation from the
railway organization. The irrigation facilities shall be
reconstructed on the following principles:
Improving all functions of the irrigation facilities;
All on the account of the relevant railway organization;
Quick reconstruction, for the purpose that the agricultural
production in the area won't be adversely affected.
Which mode shall be adopted is determined between the
affected party and the railway party through negotiations.
12.5 Income rehabilitation measures
12.5.1 General rules
The objective of income restoration is to help all people that are
affected by the project and lost their livelihood (inclusive of
land) improve, or at least maintain, their income and living level
to that before the "project" starts.
Generally speaking, there are five kinds of resettlement modes
for the rural population that are affected by land expropriation.
Their meanings and implementation premises are as follows:
Agricultural resettlement: with the resolution reached on the
villager's meeting or consent of more than 213
representatives of villagers as well as approval of the
agricultural component authority of the people's government
at the township level or the people's government at the
county level, land reallocation is carried out within the
collective economic organization of villagers. If the land
reallocation lags behind, the farmer families whose lands
have been expropriated shall be compensated with
agricultural production value loss compensation.
Resettlement by enterprises: the resettlement subsidy for
land expropriation is to be managed and used by the rural
collective economic organization collectively, which will be
used to developlrun and establish the village enterprises. The
rural people to be resettled will be employed to work for
these village enterprises. The competent institutional units
(enterprises) are encouraged to employ the rural people to be
resettled. If the rural people to be resettled agree to work for
certain institution unit (enterprise), the resettlement subsidy
may be appropriated to the institutional unit (enterprise) for
it to resettle the rural people to be resettled.
Resettlement by cash: with the approval of the land
administration department of the people's government at
township level and the land administration department of the
people's government at county (district) level, the
resettlement subsidy will be paid to the individual to be
resettled directly in line with the plan worked out by the
villager's collective economic organization. These
individuals will search for occupation independently and
invest the resettlement subsidy to run stores, maintenance
shop and handcraft workshop and grow into the craftsmen.
Payment insurance: with the approval of the people to be
resettled, the resettlement subsidy will be used to buy
insurance for them. This kind of resettlement is adopted by
families with the aged members only.
Resettlement by land reclamation: the villages with the land
reserve resources may use the land compensation fee to
reclaim the wasteland and hilly country by the surplus rural
laborers under the premise that the ecological environment
will not be damaged.
The construction of Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line will
make approximately 8,600 persons lose all their lands and
consequently some income. According to the socio-
economic investigation, more than 80% farmer families have
other income sources besides agricultural income and the
income from foodstuff and economic crops accounts for only
25.5% of their total income. The proportion is even smaller
in respect of net income. So, land expropriation will not
produce serious influence to livelihood of the people living
in the project areas.
It is specified for this project that the compensation will be
made to the landowners directly. The compensation for crops
and trees (by market price) will be paid to the affected
farmer families if they are damaged.
The optional methods for the landowners to use the
compensation are specified under the current laws and
regulations. The compensation shall be favourable to the
farmer families no matter it is paid to the farmer families,
directly or indirectly. The following issues can be fixed
through opening of the meeting of the affected people
representatives carry out land reallocation and make farmer
families losing land gain land again and use the
compensation for public interest construction of the
community; or pay compensation to the affected people
directly; The combination of these two is applicable as well,
which shall be submitted to the people's government at the
township level for approval.
STIPULATION OF INCOME RESTORATION STRATEGIES
Any income restoration strategies shall give full consideration
of the preference of the affected people and the implementation
methods. The income restoration strategies depend also on the
distribution mode of the compensation between the community
and the individual. Under such background, the socio-economic
investigation (inclusive of farmer families and village head)
shows option between land reallocation and cash compensation.
To provide sufficient evidence for stipulation of the income
restoration strategies, the major results of the site survey and
opinion consultation conducted in April 2006 are as follows:
More than 70% villages prefer to land reallocation, so as to
make the affected people continue agricultural production;
Almost all people don't agree to use the compensation by the
village collectively - which is to be further acknowledged on
the villager's meeting.
With the above-mentioned (survey) result as the foundation, the
income restoration strategy will be flexible, democratic, village-
specific and self-managed. The preference learned from the held
meeting will be voted and supplemented by the affected villages
through the appropriate official meeting. The income restoration
strategy will make the majority of the affected people continue
the agricultural production, even they have lost their arable land,
in whole or in part. The strategies consist mainly of the
following parts:
Land reallocation (to be implemented with the help of the local
land administration bureau)
The major objective of the community to invest by the
compensation is to make all people involved by the land
reallocation draw benefits, affecting individual from investing
by the compensation.
Training
Employment opportunities provided by the project-related
industries.
12.5.3 Income recovery: land adjustment
Generally speaking, the land-deprived farm families will get
"land for land" through land adjustment inside the villagers'
commission. In the event that land adjustment can't assure that
the farmer families obtain sufficient farmland, cash payment
shall be made for compensation while land adjustment is made.
This payment may be made to the farmer families that choose
this way of compensation, and 1 or those farmer families that
don't get sufficient land after land adjustment. The
compensation rate shall be determined according to the actual
situations and after negotiations between county governments,
affected villages and affected people.
According to the discussion and the results of the site survey,
under the majority of situations, the majority of the investigated
villages maintain the land reserves. Besides, there are a great
amount of land resources along the railway line. So, land
reallocation within these areas is feasible.
12.5.4 Income restoration: use of compensation
( I ) Community-based income restoration measures
The agricultural productivity of the affected people will drop
within a short period of time no matter if the land is
reallocated or not. The compensation made to villages is
made to mainly improve the agricultural productivity,
especially the following aspects:
Improve the irrigation facilities and extend them to the non-
irrigation areas
Create new arable lands through reclamation of wastelands
at the appropriate sections
Develop orchard and other economic crops
Improve production of stock raising
Develop processing of primary products
The villages are entitled to appropriate certain sum of money
to social and infrastructure projects such as schools, roads
and water supply network. The detailed suggestions are to be
finalized by all villagers on the basis of the supplementary
selection results before the compensation is distributed.
(2) Use of compensation by individual
A considerable part of the compensation paid to the affected
people shall be used by them for income restoration. If so, no
social problem will be produced. It is because that many
people have strong initiative or desire to invest in the
productive activities in the project areas. It is this kind of
initiative reflects their capacities to use the compensation. As
a matter of fact, the economic crops and service industries of
the project areas develop rapidly in the recent years.
The individuals accepting the socio-economic survey show
the preference to investment in non-agriculture (Table 17),
such as small-sized business. The individuals above forty
years old show preference to development of agriculture,
stock raising and fishery. They prefer to some exploitable
land-expropriation resettlement compensation and some land
compensation. Thus, they can improve new animal varieties
or improve their farmland irrigation conditions. In addition,
some farmer families choose to provide better education for
their offspring by the compensation. These families are
future-oriented and make plan for a better hture of the entire
family.
12.5.5 In-project Employment
The construction of Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line will
create the temporary work opportunities. The farmers may seize
hold of these opportunities to gain additional income by cash. It
is helphl to restore the livelihood. The majority of building
workers shall be employed from the local villages.
The affected poverty people enjoy the priority to work for
construction of Shi-Zheng Special Passenger Line. The
expropriation and resettlement office at the county, city and
township level will execute these measures with the project
construction team and/or the subcontracting project team jointly.
12.5.6 Training plan
To meet the major task of the affected communities and
individuals of income restoration, a series of training shall be
performed. These plans with the separate estimate fimds consist
of the items listed below. The responsible persons of all villages
involved in land expropriation for this project as well as one
representative of the affected farmer families are entitled to join
one or two training courses organized by the county and they
are responsible for experiment and promotion of these items to
their villagers.
Stock raising and breedinglfishery;
Planting of economic crops;
Training plan of woman's embroidering and weaving skill;
Maintenance skills of motorcycle, auto, tractors and agricultural
tools;
Marketing of products.
The training will be performed on site or within the training
center of the concerned countylcity. The training fees will be
paid directly to the trainer agencies such as agriculture
promotion department, exclusive technology training
department and NGO from the contingency. The trainees that
accepting the training at the places that are far away from their
own villages will be paid with allowances. A half of the trainees
shall be woman. It is planned that the training will start from the
beginning of 2007. It is aimed to make the affected learns and
masters at least one useful technology.

12.6 The Vulnerable Group
The vulnerable group involved in this line refers to some poor people.
The majority of the villages affected by Shi-Zheng Corridor belong to
North China Plain, where there is relatively abundant land resources
and products. However, it is doubtless that expropriation of some
lands of the farmers will lead to certain inconvenience to them,
especially the farmer families with relatively low income and heavy
burdens. It is a hard nut to effectively guarantee living of these people
when their lands are expropriated.
Approximately 213 poor farmer families are "(short of development
capacity) the poverty-stricken farmer families". In other words, the
family members or the major laborers of these families suffer from
some yearlong injuriesldiseases (physically, mentally or socially).
After consultation with some officials taking charge of the poor
farmer family work for features of these families, the major reason
leading to their poverty lies on the poor physical conditions of their
major laborers or failure of them to plant their lands effectively.
Another reason is their deficiency in skills. The civil affairs
department of the concerned towns take charge of providing "five
kinds of guarantees" to the said poverty-stricken families, including
foodstuff, dwelling, clothes, heating resources and fbneral expenses.
The training plan is helphl to the members of the vulnerable farmer
families. The strong members of the vulnerable farmer families enjoy
the priority to gain opportunities to work for construction of the
railway.
Additionally, some vulnerable groups (such as orphan, widow,
families enjoying "five guarantees", minorities, families that are
poverty-stricken due to diseases, families that are poverty-stricken
due to children's education, disabled and psychopath), the local
people's government and the headquarters of Shi-Zheng Special
Passenger Line will pay the total land compensation and resettlement
subsidy to the concerned parties.
Other poverty alleviation and preferential treatment will be provided
for other vulnerable groups:
(1)If they are the relocated families, they enjoy the priority to choose
the subsistence homestead in advance; if they are affected by the
land expropriation, they enjoy the priority upon land reallocation;
(2)The skill training will be provided those women who are the
householders of their families. The small-amount credit will be
provided for them.
(3) The farmer families that are poverty-stricken due to children's
education will be provided with the education loan or donation.
For example, the loan limit for the primary school student is RMB
500 yuan and that of the middle school student is RMB 1,000 yuan.
One family is entitled to apply for loan for two students and the
loan limit shall be within RMB 1,500-3,000 yuan.
(4) The farmer families that are poverty-stricken due to diseases will
be provided with the one-off subsidy. The amount of subsidy for
each family is to be approved on the villager's meeting, which will
be submitted to the resettlement office at the township level and
county level for approval. The range of the subsidy is between
RMB 1,000-1 0,000 yuan.
(5) The endowment insurance or the lowest living guarantee will be
provided for the orphan, widow and the aged.
Environment governance
The local power organ implementing the expropriation and
resettlement is entitled to take charge of the environment governance
should the environment issues take place in the course of
expropriation and resettlement. The local power organ is established
with the environment governance departments. Any and all
environment issues met in the course of expropriation and
resettlement shall be submitted to the environment governance
department for settlement.
The environment impact assessement report of the project describes
in details the environment issues, resettlement measures and the
management mechanism of the project.
12.8 Rational analysis of recovery measures
The project construction only brings impact on small part of houses
and lands in valliges along the railway line, does not greatly impact
original rural production and living system. Emigrant relocation plan
is discussed in symposia form in affected towns ahd valliges.
Accoding to emigrant opinion and practical situations in affected
areas, the following has been determined: Project-affected emigrants
will be all resettled in the original communities, so as to maintain
original emigrant production and living ways, customs and social
relation stabilization and to facilitate emigrants to resume or improve
their production and living levels after resettlement. In order to reduce
impact of project construction on production and living of affected
households, all project-affected houses will not be demolished till
new houses are completed. Rural households to be expopriated are all
relocated in their original vallige. In terms of production and
development, land allocation is primary, second and tertiary industry
development is secondary. After economic compensation is
transferred to valliges, according to valligers' intention, land shall be
adjusted within their villages (resident administration committees) or
their groups for land and farming arrangement. For valliges and
groups which are greatly impacted by expropriation, according to
local related policy, basic living provision system for expropriated
farmers shall be established. With the said measures, emigrants'
production and living levels can be recovered, improved and
increased, so as to realize lasting social stabilization, therefore,
preliminary recovery measures plan shall be feasible.
I?. Implementation Arrangements
13.1 Resettlement organizations

Capacity Building and Staff Training
A variety of measures will be taken to support capacity building and
ensure effective implementation and control of the RP. These include:
1) Vertical linking agencies will set up reporting system, to report
once a month.
2) Horizontal linking agencies will hold coordinating meetings
quarterly to enhance information exchange.
3) Issues put forward by the APs will be reported and disseminated
through the resettlement offices at each level.
4) Issues which occur during construction will be reported by the
resident engineer, first to hislher organizational level and then, if
necessary, upwards through each of the hierarchical levels;
5) Problems raised by affected persons and contractors will be
delivered to village administration committee, township- county-
municipality construction coordination groups. If severe, such
problems will also be reported to Shizheng SPRL Corp and project
construction leader teams of Hebei and Henan Provinces.
6) Both the MOR and the local governments have carefully chosen
persons experienced in land acquisition and resettlement with
managerial skills and dada processing skills to train the
resettlement institutions of all levels. These persons should be
stable along the whole construction period.
7) At the preparation stage, both MOR and the local governments
should invite the consulting units to train their major staff
members engaged in land acquisition and resettlement and to help
them to learn and have a good grasp of China's resettlement
policies, the World Bank's requirements and the successful cases
of other administrative sectors in China and learn to master the
skills of collecting and processing data.
Refer to Table 10 for LAR Organization Ability Cultivation and
Personnel Training Plan.
8) Internal monitoring, evaluation and problems solving skills will be
reinforced when judged to be weak.

14.2 Budget Sufficiency
By LAR sub-item cost estimation, total cost is RMBY928.35
millions (where RMBY542.97 millions for Hebei Province and RMB
Y385.38 millions for Henan Province). It can be seen that total LAR
cost of RMBY933.25 millions (where RMBY 55 1.7 millions for
Hebei Province and RMB Y 3 82.3 millions for Henan Province)
estimated in design and environment evaluation is fully sufficient.

14.3 Fund flow
The most basic principle is that the compensation shall be paid to
organizations and individuals who directly take charge of
rehabilitation of the original facilities and incomes. According to the
compensation policy and times mentioned above, the Ministry of
Railways will sign compensation agreement with Henan and Hebei
provinces, and both provinces will assign the local land
administrations 1 expropriation and resettlement offices, supporting
institutions, companies, and public facilities institutions to make a
detailed compensation payment plan. The compensation will be made
according to the said agreement, and the time set forth in the said
agreement.
The different forms of payment of compensation may result in great
differences. In most cases, an institution dedicated to rehabilitation of
public facilities will directly get the payment, just as a collective or a
farmer family that suffers from property loss directly gets payment.
The compensation for young crops will be directly paid to the farmers
and the forest bureau that owns the woodlands. All transit and
relocation subsidies as well as compensation for temporary use of a
land will be directly paid to the affected people. The land cultivation
fee will be directly paid to the governmental agency that directly
takes charge of land cultivation.
The land compensation and resettlement subsidy are initially paid to
the village collectives. According to the relevant laws, it is very
flexible for the collectives who own the lands to use this sum of
money. The collective organizations may use this sum of money in
some economic activities (either agricultural or non-agricultural
economic activities), or use this sum of money to improve the public
facilities and infrastructures or to hold training courses, or directly
pay it to the affected farmer families. According to the relevant laws,
the villager representative meeting is the organization that may make
the decision, which shall be approved by the township government.
Payment of land compensation: in the case of land adjustment, some
compensation will be paid to the collective 1 village commission who
own the lands, and they are responsible for improving the
productivity and recovering the economic level of the affected people
(including those who lose their lands during land adjustment). In the
case of no land adjustment or collective investment, the land
compensation shall be directly paid to the farmers who lose their
lands.
Payment of expropriation and resettlement subsidies: these subsidies
will be paid to the organization that is responsible for resettling the
affected farmers, and it is usually a village commission or a collective
that owns the lands. These organizations shall be responsible for
providing the farmers with appropriate measures for recovering the
incomes. In the event that such measures are not provided or the
affected people are willing to take their own measures, the subsidies
shall be directly paid to the farmer families. In this case, it is not
necessary to provide the strategy for recovering incomes. However,
these farmer families must prove that they have got plans or measures
for use of the subsidies for income recovery. In evaluation whether or
not the resettlement action plan succeeds, these farmer families shall
be included in the samples.
The resettlement action plan especially focused on the ways the
collectives that own the lands use the controllable compensations.
Particularly, in each affected village, a villagers meeting shall be
held to make the following decisions: whether or not to carry out
land adjustment and the degree of land adjustment, and the
proportion of compensations directly paid to the affected farmer
families.
Use of the partial compensations the collective keeps.
Whether or not provide new sites for the farmers and public
buildings, and the locations of the new sites.
The purpose of acquisition of approval of the said plan from the
county and township governments as well as internal and external
supervision is to make sure that the decisions each village makes
is transparent, acceptable to most people, and made directly for the
affected farmer families that lose lands and / or properties - either
directly or in land re-allocation. The impacts and risks brought to
the vulnerable groups must be identified and resolved.

H. Consultation, Disclosure and Grievance Procedures
15.1 Public Participation
15.1.1 Public Participation in Project Preparation Phase
Public consulting of this project started with the series of
surveys that TSDI did in 2005. After that, TSDI conducted field
investigation and initial social and economic survey. One of the
purposes of field investigation is to inform the villages along
the railway of construction of Shi-Zheng Special Passenger
Line. Another purpose is for the designers to understand the
local situations and the concerns of the local farmers, including
establishment of sufficient cross passageways and remaining of
existing irrigation systems. At that time, most affected people
got certain understanding of the project.
During socio-economic investigation (April to August, 2006),
1,390 households in 60 affected towns ware practically
investigated, where only a minor part of farmers (10%) did not
know massage about shijiazhuang-Zhengzhou special passenger
railway line. This message was known to the public through
meetings of the officials at all levels, newspapers, TV stations,
as well as the field surveys of the three institutes.
Four major consulting meetings were held in the project area.
Local officials from the districts, counties and towns (including
the land resource bureaus) as well as some affected people took
part in the meetings. Table 15 shows some key consulting
meetings and the discussed issues.
The conclusions of these meetings and surveys deeply affect the
policies set forth in the resettlement action plan. Particularly,
they played a critical role in determination of the compensation
ratio, as well as formulation of income rehabilitation strategy
based on land re-allocation, direct payment of compensations,
and life / training plans.

In addition to the meetings mentioned above, a number of
meetings were held between the three institutes, the local
environmental protection administrations, and the local land
resource administrations (Oct. 2004-Dec. 2006.) to discuss in
depth how to reduce relocation from routing selection and
station construction, and how to perform the resettlement action
plans, including the policies and requirements of the World
Bank, the needed information, the policies and action plans for
expropriation and resettlement as well as income rehabilitation.
The municipal governments along the line all put forward clear
recommendations and requirements on routing and station
construction, which the design institute has incorporated in the
design.
15.1.2 Public involvement and consulting plans in the phase of
project implementation
Although public consulting has been conducted for a number of
times, the Ministry of Railways and the local governments both
believe consulting meetings shall be held during
implementation of the resettlement action plans, and that the
following contents shall be included in the activities to be held:
Official villagers meetings held to approve land re-allocation
and payment of compensation.
Detailed field surveys to measure the final data about
expropriation and relocation of each affected farmer family /
company, and to reach agreement.

15.3 Complaint Channel
During the actual implementation of the land acquisition and the
resettlement of displaced population, if the affected population
have any problems, grievances and discontent regarding land
acquisition, housing demolition, compensation payment and
resettlement, they may appeal to either (1) the project owner,
(2) the external independent monitoring institution, (3) the
township and the county land administration department, (4) the
county government or (5) take legal action.
0 Appealing to the Project Owner Unit. The project owner
is the eventual user of the land acquired, and has the duty
to resolve problems arising from land acquisition, housing
demolition and resettlement. Project owner units Shitai
SPRL Corp. and Shiwu SPRL Henan Corp (Preparation
Group) will perform construction liabilities during project
construction and will execute operation and management
liabilities after project completion.
O Appealing to the External Monitoring Institution. The
external monitoring institution conducts chasing-up
investigation on the production of affected villages several
times in the year during the monitoring period, evaluates
the resettlement consequences and submits its M&E
reports to the project owner, the local institutions
conducting land acquisition and housing demolition and
the World Bank. The affected persons, therefore, may
express their discontent and grievances to the external
monitoring institution, which is obligated to listen to and
find out the dissentient and grievances.
I7 Appealing to the Township and the County Land
Administration Department. According to the
administrative procedure of the local government, the
discontent and grievances rising from acquisition and
resettlement should first be handled by the land
administration department. This should be facilitated by
township leaders in the purpose of assisting vulnerable
groups and dealing with AP's grievances. In case the land
administration department is unable to resolve the
grievances, the appealer may turn to other conduits. These
are the conduits of the land administration departments the
appealer may go to:
A. The municipal land administration bureau;
B. The county land administration bureau; and
C. The township land administration bureau.
Appealing to the County Government. If the discontent
can not be resolved by n the land administration
department, it can be appealed to the "correspondence and
visitation department" of the local governments, set up by
various levels of government organs to handle letters and
visits from the masses. The appealer may express his
discontent orally or in writing to the correspondence and
visitation departments, which may coordinate departments
concerned to have the matter resolved. If again the
discontent cannot be resolved in this way, the
correspondence and visitation departments will report the
matter to the leaders of the local government.
Legal Action. If discontent and grievances can not be
resolved through the above 4 conduits, the appealer may
resort to legal action by bringing the case to the court.
I. Monitoring Arrangements
16. Monitoring Arrangements
In order to ensure that the implementation of the land
acquisition and resettlement plan is in accordance with
requirements, monitoring of implementation, both "internal"
and "external", will be carried out during and after the
implementation of the Project.
16.1 Internal Monitoring
16.1.1 Organizations and Personnel
Internal monitoring of project LAR work is presided by Shiwu
SPRL LAR leader teams of State Land and resource Bureaux of
Hebei and Henan Provinces and executed by CROs(command
headquarters) and villages. In order to execute internal
monitoring hnction effectively, special persons are appointed
in RAP organization at different levels, who have already
participated in preparation and implementation of RAP and will
internally monitor and control RAP execution and practice.
16.1.2 Monitored Contents
Emigrant compensation payment and application;
New house sites selection and allocation;
Private house reconstruction;
Support to vulnerable group;
Employment arrangement of affected labourers;
Quality and quantity of newly reclaimed land;
Land adjustment and allocation;
Payment of land grant in aid;
Resettlement of enterprises and business households;
Special facility recovery;
Schedule of said activities;
Execution situation of RAP policy and regulations;
0 Emigrant participation and negotiation during
implementation;
Staffing, training, work timetable and operating condition
of LAR organization at different levels.
16.1.3 Implementation Procedure
A. Shiwu SPRL LAR leader teams of State Land and resource
Bureaux of Hebei and Henan Provinces will promote
internal monitoring operation mechanism to check LAR
activities, to build up LAR basic database and to monitor the
whole process of LAR preparation and implementation.
B. During implementation, RAP organizations at different
levels shall build up corresponding RAP information
depositories and update them according to practical
implementation progress, transfer current activity records
and implementation progress to RAP organization at higher
level, so as to monitor RAP implementation continuously.
C. In the said monitoring operation mechanism, information
form in specified format will be drawn up, so as to realize
continuous information flow from village level to project
emigrant relocation office. CROs (Command headquarters)
and township (town, street) relocation work groups are
important part of internal monitoring system, and will make
regular inspection and verification.
16.2 External Monitoring and Evaluation
An institute or organisation totally independent of the both
parties of EA, and independent of the local governments along
the alignment, to be contracted as the lead agency to carry out
the external monitoring and evaluation work under this RP. A
preferred candidate for this task is the Southwest Jiaotong
University (SWJU) in Chengdu which already has experience in
monitoring work for international agencies.
16.2.1 Methodology and Content
The general methodology will involve a mix of one-on-one
questionnaires administered to households, and participatory
rapid appraisal techniques (PRA) repeated on a six-monthly or
yearly basis during the resettlement and construction activities
associated with the project.
The household surveys will concentrate on the changes in
economic activity, incomes and other social conditions of
individual households. Key indicators will include: household
composition, ethnicity, education and skill levels, experience in
positions of influence, pre-acquisition rights over land, size and
condition of house, accumulated assets, annual income, relative
mix of productive activities, marketing channels, access to
utilities and services (including social services and irrigation
systems), and nature and frequency of major social and cultural
activities. This survey will provide a series of socio-economic
indicators which can subsequently be monitored in order to
evaluate the success of the resettlement and income restoration
process.
Refer to Table 17 for major monitored indicators.

In addition, the baseline survey, undertaken as soon as possible
after the DMS will ask questions on:
Household plans to do when confronted with the impending
loss of land and/or housing,
The extent and effectiveness of the dissemination of
information on compensation standards and options,
acquisition processes and restitution measures.
The baseline survey will also ask an open-ended question about
the farmers' anticipations and apprehensions regarding the
impending land acquisition and resettlement process. The
baseline survey should give the complete socioeconomic profile
of the sampled APs with gender-disaggregated data and details
of losses.
The PRA surveys will be conducted at the village level and will
include similar indicators to those described above but
focussing on the village as a whole. The objective is to provide
a wider assessment of the effectiveness of the resettlement
process than is possible from the surveys of individual
households. These surveys will involve focus group discussions
and key informant interviews. Experience shows that these
surveys can provide a greater understanding of changes in
socio-economic conditions than can be obtained from household
interviews. In contrast, the household interviews are more
suitable for providing a set of quantifiable indicators which can
be compared over time.
Subsequent surveys will use the same format but with greater
emphasis given to the changes that have occurred since the
baseline survey was undertaken, the actual timing of
compensation related activities (signature of contracts,
disbursement of funds, identification of new housing sites,
construction of new buildings, effectiveness of grievance
procedures, and on general levels of satisfaction/ dissatisfaction
with the resettlement process. Both household and PRA
surveys will be designed to distinguish between changes that are
attributable to involuntary resettlement and loss of land and
those that result from external factors, e.g. a slump in vegetable
prices, the opening of a new factory, etc.
The surveys will be completed by interviews with owners or
directors of the non-residential establishments affected, eg.
schools, enterprises.
16.2.2 Sampling
As required by the World Bank, the baseline survey for
launching monitoring and evaluation (M&E) activities should
cover 10 percent of the APs. At this stage, it is anticipated that
around 6696 households will be affected giving a total sample
size of around 670.
A two-stage stratified random sample should be used. The first
stage sampling will involve the selection of 71 of the affected
villages. The initial selection of villages should involve those
losing which will be most affected by land and property losses.
Around 10 households should be sampled in each selected
village. The sample will be chosen randomly from the schedule
of affected households obtained during the DMS.
16.2.3 Survey Timing
The schedule has been designed to provide, as required, six
investigations throughout the implementation of the project (one
baseline survey, two yearly evaluation surveys, two semi-annual
monitoring surveys and a post-construction evaluation survey).
The household surveys would be repeated every year starting
with the baseline survey implemented as soon as possible after
the DMS. The PRA-type surveys would be repeated every 6
months within two year after the start of the land acquisition
and resettlement. All selected villages would be visited at this
time and annually when the household surveys are being carried
out.
The final post railway construction survey should take place
approximately one year after the construction is completed. Its
main objective is to assess whether the objectives of the RP
were achieved, i.e. whether the restoration of income and
welfare has been efficiently and adequately restored, and
whether the land acquisition and resettlement process has been
effective.
16.3 Reporting and Distribution
16.3.1 Internal Monitoring Report System and Delivery
Village and township level reports will be prepared on a
monthly basis so that prompt action can be taken, if necessary,
by higher-level officials without adversely affecting the
resettlement execution.
County resettlement officer shall quarterly report to internal
monitoring group of provincial resettlement office under
Shizheng SPRL Corp, and the group shall then report to
Shizheng SPRL Corp.
Copies of these reports will be submitted to the World Bank.
These reports should include: name of reporting agency, date of
reporting, details on the implementation of the resettlement
programs scheduled for that year, reasons for any delays,
problems encountered, corrective actions and their results, and
problems that need to be resolved at a higher level.
In addition to the above arrangements, the traditional financial
watchdog - the Audit Bureau - will at each level of Government
be monitoring and auditing the fund use in the compensation
program.
16.3.2 External Monitoring Report System and Delivery
Monitoring evaluation reports documented by external
independent monitoring agency shall be presented annually to
MOR, Hebei and Henan Provincial governments, county
governments, township governments and World Bank, where
reports submitted to World Bank must be written in English.
The baseline survey should be reported in full. Subsequent
reports should provide summaries of principal findings,
tabulations of key indicators, qualitative and quantitative
descriptions of main changes in socio- economic changes of
APs and affected villages and conclusions and implications, if
any, for additional action1 assistance.
The report on the post-construction survey will constitute a final
assessment report on the resettlement process and detail the
extent to which the compensation paid and other measures have
enabled APs to maintain or enhance their pre-project social and
economic living conditions.
