EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. The project
According to JETRO Study, one of major reasons of traffic accident on National
Highway 1A is considered of “Mixed Traffic.” That is mixing of industrial and living
transportation, mixing of Quang Nam short traffic, and mixing of bicycle, motorcycle
and vehicle. The Expressway is designed to receive long trip traffic, which will
contribute for reducing traffic accident.
Da Nang - Quang Ngai Expressway Project is with the objective of improving the road
transportation system with the scopes of i) providing safe and secured transportation
for the high speed and heavy vehicles, and ii) strengthening of institution to manage
the expressway transportation system. Through realizing the scopes, the Expressway
is also aimed to achieve the following targets:
(a) Support Nationwide Socio-Economic Development
(b) To Promote Socio-Economic Development of Central Vietnam
(c) To Promote Improvement of Environment; and
(d) To Promote Traffic Safety
The alignment of the Expressway passes through two provinces (Quang Nam and
Quang Ngai) and Da Nang city, with 139.52 km in total length and tolled dual 2-lane
facility (2-lane at each direction) at the entire alignment.
The Resettlement Plan summarizes the impacts due to the proposed expressway
traversing the City of Da Nang. Approximately 08 km length of the road alignment
crosses through one district namely Hoa Vang, covering a total of three communes of
Da Nang City.
2. Land acquisition impacts
According to Vietnam Regulation, the width of the corridor for the project is 70m.
Based on this required area, land acquisition impacts in the Da Nang City are
summarized as below:
There are a total of 424 households in 03 communes of 01 district of Da Nang City
who will be impacted by land acquisition for the project. Of these:
- 62 Households will be impacted by the loss of residential land either partially
or fully with the total affected area is 38,498 m2
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 2
- 395 Households will be impacted due to the loss of agricultural land with the
total area of 370,374 m2.
- 88,067 m2 other land (public land) will be impacted
- About 9,075 m2 of forestry land (Production forestland) will be impacted.
- 59 Households will be impacted on either partially or fully by the loss of
houses with the total affected area of houses being 2,453 m2..
- There are 85 HHs will receive land plot in resettlement site, of which
relocated HHs due to loss of residential land (both with and without structure)
include 25 HHs (including 12 HHs affected by loss of business), by loss of
agriculture land (60 HHs).
3. Legal and Policy Frameworks
The RAP is developed based on the laws of the Government of Viet Nam (GOV) and
the World Bank Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (OP 4.12- December 2001).
The policy of GOV on compensation, assistance and relocation has been improved
significantly in recent years (Land law-2003; Decree 197-2004; Decree 84-2007;
Decree 69-2009 etc.) and very close to the requirements of the World Bank standards
on involuntary resettlement (OP 4.12). The entitlements for compensation and other
assistance take into consideration the latest provisions of the Decision 36/2009/QĐ-
UB of Da Nang People’s Committee, dated on 24th December 2009, on compensation
and resettlement policies.
The main policy objectives and principles of the Project Compensation and
Resettlement policy are (i) land acquisition should be minimized as much as possible,
if unavoidable, the policy should be developed to (ii) ensure that affected people
receive compensation at full replacement values and with relocation assistance so
that they will be at least as well off as they would have been in the absence of the
project or otherwise improved.
The cut-off date of the project coincides with the date of commencement of the
census of affected persons and inventory of losses (IOL) and will be established when
DMS begins following approval of the project by GOV. The cut-off date will be
formally announced by the relevant authorities to stakeholders.
4. Public Participation and consultation
Several meetings of consultations, public meetings and commune discussions were
held with affected households and local authorities. Many DPs and local officials at
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 3
the different levels from the province to commune as well as local NGOs have been
consulted for different aspects of compensation and resettlement such as
compensation and resettlement policy, options to compensation modes (in cash or in
kind, cash for self-relocation or to relocate at the resettlement sites which will be
constructed by the project), preference to the livelihood restoration/development
programs etc. Many different instruments and channels of consultation and
participation were applied and organized. A lot of feedback has been obtained from
DPs, local NGOs, local authorities and relevant Provincial, District Departments. Public
consultation activities will continue throughout the implementation phase. At the
early time of the RAP and project implementation, Public Information Booklet (PIB)
will be prepared by the Project Management Unit 85 and will be disseminated to the
affected households and posted at the public places.
5. Relocation arrangements and livelihood restoration
Since no public agricultural land is available that can be offered to the DPs as
replacement agricultural land, the project authorities will make special efforts to
assist DPs who wish to purchase replacement private agricultural land on willing-
buyer willing-seller basis. The project will also provide logistical support for such
transactions and all legal and documentation costs would be covered by the project if
carried out within a period of six months from the date of receipt of compensation by
the DPs. External Monitoring Agency will closely monitor this activity.
There are 85 households have to be relocated with total required area of
resettlement sites being 35,360m2. The resettlement sites will be well developed with
physical infrastructures and social services such as inter roads, water and power
supply system, drainage and sewage water treatment systems etc.
The economic restoration programs to the DPs losing their productive land, including
poor and vulnerable groups are proposed to make sure that they would improve or at
least restore their livelihood as before displacement levels. The programs are
proposed to be based on the consultation with DPs and other stakeholders, especially
local NGOs.
Implementation of livelihood restoration programs, including outcome of the
training, extension services etc. will be closely monitored by the project authorities as
well as by the external monitoring agency. A post-implementation evaluation by the
external monitoring agency would be carried out to determine whether the
objectives of the income rehabilitation and livelihood restoration have been
achieved. The project authorities will provide additional resources for continued
assistance to the DPs until they have restored their livelihood at least to the pre-
project levels.
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 4
Planning and implementation of selected income restoration plans will be based on
extensive and well-documented consultation with the affect people.
6. Implementation Arrangements
Responsibilities of all relevant authorities and institutions from Central to Commune
levels are clearly described in the Decree 197/ND-CP-2004 and Decree 84/ND-CP-
2007.
The VEC under the Ministry of Transport (MOT), is the Executing Agency of the
Project. It is responsible for realization of the Da Nang - Quang Ngai Expressway
Project, including resettlement policy framework.
PMU85, on behalf of the VEC, has direct responsibility and day-to-day management
oversight for implementing all aspects pertained to the Expressway’s works, including
planning, programming, budgeting, design, implementation, monitoring, evaluation,
ensuring overall project’s coordination and supervision of resettlement activities and
coordination/liaison with the World Bank.
The PMU 85 will provide overall guidance and closely coordinate with all district and
commune levels for the project and RAP implementation.
The PPC of Da Nang City and their relevant Departments are responsible for review,
approve on land recovery; compensation costs at the replacement values, relocation
site development and direct its lower levels in implementing the RAP.
District People’s Committees, District Compensation and Resettlement Committees
(DCSCC), affected Communes will be responsible for carrying out for the DMS,
prepare compensation plans for each HH or individuals, affected institutions, pay
compensation to DPs as well as settle for complaints from DPs.
7. The implementation schedule
The implementation schedule of RAP is proposed based on the schedule of the
project construction; a schedule for key activities is summarized as below.
Proposed schedule for RAP implementation with key activities (this RAP
implementation schedule will be modified after the finalization of the proposed
construction schedule).
8. Information disclosure and dissemination
Key information about the project, compensation and assistance will be summarized
as in Public Information Booklet (PIB) and will be disseminated to all DPs once this
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project

9. Grievance redress mechanism
The Grievance Redress Committee (called GRC) at 03 levels (commune/district and
provincial level) will be established before the start of resettlement implementation
and announcement publicly. At each level, the committee members will include 5-7
representatives from PMU, CRC (1-2 persons at each 03 level), mass organization/civil
society/CBOs/NGOs (1-2 persons), Lawyer Union/associations and DP
representatives, which is a positive way to resolve issues that concerns of DPs. If it is
impossible to solve their complaints at the commune or ward level, DPs can take 04
steps, which are (i) first stage- at Commune level; (ii) second stage- at District level;
(iii) third stage-at Provincial level; and (iv) final stage- Courts. Persons filing a
complaint will not be charged administration or complaint fees.
Participation of civil society members and DPs representatives would ensure that the
GRCs function without any coercion, remain independent, and discuss all the issues
and complaints, and take decisions in an objective and transparent manner.

To ensure that all compensation is paid at replacement cost, the VEC will contract an
independent land price appraisers licensed by the Department of Finance to carry out
Replacement Cost Study (RCS) for all the affected assets based on the prevalent
market prices. The findings of the RCS will be submitted to the PPC for comparison
and revisions, where necessary to ensure that the final rates reflect market prices and
that all assets are compensated at the replacement cost.
In case of over-run of resettlement cost, VEC will ensure that adequate additional
funds are available in a timely manner.

is also aimed to achieve the following targets:
(a) Support Nationwide Socio-Economic Development: According to the
logistic survey conducted at the time of JETRO Study in 2007 (JETRO Study),
20% of passing vehicles in the central Vietnam was bound for Hanoi and Quang
Nam. In addition, more than 40% of passing vehicles between Da Nang and
Quang Ngai was long trip connecting to the North and the South of Vietnam.
The Expressway will be the pivot of traffic to connect these two regions.
(b) To Promote Socio-Economic Development of Central Vietnam: The
Expressway is considered to play the important role on transportation of
goods and passengers in the whole country in combination with National
Highway No.1A (NH1A). In addition, the Expressway is expected to contribute
for the international transportation of economic triangle (Lao PDR – Cambodia
– Vietnam) via East West Economic Corridor (EWEC) to ports in Central areas in
Vietnam.
(c) To Promote Improvement of Environment: Environmental condition
alongside NH1A is becoming worse due to heavy traffic volume. The
Expressway will contribute for improving environmental condition alongside
NH1A by receiving long trip traffic.
(d) To Promote Traffic Safety: The alignment of the Expressway passes through
two provinces (Quang Nam and Quang Ngai) and Da Nang city with 139.52km
in total length and tolled dual 2-lane facility (2-lane at each direction) at the
entire alignment. The general technical specification of the project is described
as in Table I.1 below.

I.2 Scope of the RAP
The Resettlement Plan summarizes the impacts due to the proposed expressway
traversing the municipality of Da Nang. Approximately 08 km length of the road
alignment crosses through one district namely Hoa Vang covering three communes of
Da Nang municipality. The list of district and communes traversed by the expressway
in Da Nang municipality is shown in Table I.2.
Table I.2: District and Communes covered by the Expressway
Number District Communes
1 Hoa Vang
Hoa Nhon
Hoa Phong
Hoa Tien
The right of way is 70 m wide. The impacts on land acquisition for this RAP are
surveyed based on the design of the route of feasibility studies and the cadastral
maps of affected communes. Any potential adverse impacts due to the associated
structures, service areas, approach road etc. are not foreseen at this stage as all the
proposed work will be carried out within the existing ROW. However, if any adverse
impacts are identified or any change in the design of associated structures, approach
roads etc. during the implementation phase, they will be addressed in accordance
with the policy provisions specified in the RAP and in compliance with the WB
OP4.12.
The impacts on land acquisition will be updated with detailed measurement survey
(DMS) after the detailed engineering design is made available and the demarcation of
the affected area is marked by the benchmarks on the ground by local authorities and
PMU 85. The route of the expressway is shown as Figure I-1 below.
I.2. Minimizing Land Acquisition and Resettlement Impacts
A lot of efforts have been made by technical and social teams as well as local
authorities to minimize impacts on land acquisition through different phases of the
project study. The consultation with relevant parties was also held, based on their
feedback, the alignment was adjusted to minimize negative impacts on environment
and land acquisition. As the result of alignment adjustment, number of households
have to be relocated is reduced significantly compared to the original alignment
proposed by TEDI in its Feasibility Study. The changes made to reduce impacts on
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 11
land acquisition, especially to reduce the number of households that have to be
relocated, are summarized below:
The length of section in Da Nang city is relative short, about 8Km. The original
alignment was proposed by TEDI in its Feasibility Study (TEDI F/S 2005) with due
examination in order to reduce negative social impacts as well as to realize technical
feasibility. The JETRO Study and the WB Supplemental Study followed the alignment
proposed by TEDI in its F/S for the section of Da Nang City. From December 10, 2009,
the TEDI design consultant (DC) made adjustment to the alignment at sections:
Km0+000 to Km16+000 basing on the Announcement 422/TB-BGTVT signed on
September 23, 2009 and Announcement 594/TB-BGTVT signed on September 25,
2009 by MOT in order to reduce negative social impacts. As a result the major
modifications at the following section (from Km0+000 to Km8+000)1 were proposed
in order to reduce adverse environmental and social impacts.
Section from Km0 to Km8
From Km0+000 the alternative alignment slopes to the east of the Nippon Koei line to
avoid clearing the 500 KV poles at Km0+800.
From Km3+000 to Km 6+000, the route is nearly in parallel the Nippon Koei line and
in the distance of 100m from the Nippon Koei line to avoid removing of the 500kv
poles at Km 4+500.
Thus, the alignment has avoided two-500kV high voltage transmission lines
relocation.
1 Although the modification section is from Km0 to Km16, Section from Km8 – Km16 which belongs to Quang
Nam Province is specified in Quang Nam RAP.

II. LEGAL FRAMEWORK
The relevant laws and regulations of the Government of Viet Nam define the legal
framework for compensation, resettlement and rehabilitation under the project and
the World Bank social safeguards policies. In case of discrepancies between the
National laws, regulations, and procedures and WB's policies and requirements, WB's
policies and requirements will prevail, consistent with Decree No. 131/2006/ND-CP
(which provides that in case of “discrepancy between any provision in an
international treaty on Official Development Assistance, to which the Socialist
Republic of Viet Nam is a signatory, and the Vietnamese Law, the provision in the
international treaty on ODA shall take precedence” -Article 2, Item 5). The same
statement was mentioned in the Decree 197/2004/ND-CP on compensation and
resettlement when the Government takes over the land for the defense, security
purposes, benefits of nation and public works as well as for economic development.
Decree No. 17/2003/ND-CP, promulgating the regulation on the exercise of
democracy in communes, including requirements for consultation with and
participation of people in communes.
II.1. Relevant Vietnamese Legislation
The policies of GOV on compensation, resettlement and assistance have been
significantly improved from time to time, especially, 2003; National Assembly passed
the date of land law. Many Laws, Decrees, Circulars and amendments to Laws;
Decrees issued by the GOV to improve the policies on land acquisition, compensation
and assistance. The policies on land acquisition, compensation and assistance have
also significantly improved on the requirements of consultation, participation,
information dissemination, monitoring and evaluation. For the projects financed by
the International Banks, the GOV has also approved for the required waivers to meet
with the international standards on involuntary resettlement.
- Land Law 2003/QH11, providing Viet Nam with a comprehensive land
administration law.
- Decree No. 197/2004/ND-CP dated 3 December 2004, on compensation,

Development Assistance (ODA). Decree No. 131/2006/ND-CP provides that in
case of “gaps between any provision in an international treaty on Official
Development Assistance, to which the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam is a
signatory, and the Vietnamese Law, the provision in the international treaty on
ODA shall take precedence” (Article 2, Item 5).
- Decree 69/2009/ND-CP to amend for planning on land use, cost for land, land
recovery, compensation and resettlement. This Decree requires a lot of
assistance to the DP who affected by loss of productive land and are left with
unviable land holdings; especially households have to relocate and losing the
agricultural land.

II.2. Involuntary Resettlement Policy of the WB (PO 4.12- December 2001)
The objective of the policy on involuntary resettlement is:
(a) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized,
exploring all viable alternative project designs.
(b) Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should
be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs, providing
sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the project
to share in project benefits. Displaced persons should be meaningfully
consulted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and
implementing resettlement programs.
(c) Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their
livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to
pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project
implementation, whichever is higher.
II.3. Main gaps between Viet Nam policies and World Bank Policy on
involuntary resettlement
There are a number of ways in which the approaches of the Vietnam Government,
either in policy or practice are compatible with World Bank policy. The most
important compatibilities are:
1. On the issue of land tenure and the legal right to compensation, the
Government and World Bank approaches are compatible. Vietnam has a
process whereby people without legal land rights may meet conditions of
legalization and receive compensation for losses up to a rate equal to 100% of
land price minus the taxes and fee for land use right registration from 15
October 1993 (Article 42, 49 and 50 of 2003 Land Law).
2. All DPs, who satisfy residence conditions in accordance with the provisions of
the Decree 197, are provided with options that include relocation to an
improved site, or cash, or a combination of the two
3. Resettlement offer not only better improved infrastructure and social services
but represent a higher standard of living.
4. Allowances and livelihood support are provided to help the DPs in the
transition period and there is an institutional structure through which people
are informed, can negotiate compensation, and can appeal.
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 16
5. Compensation at replacement cost is ensured in Article 6 of Decree
197/2004/ND-CP dated December 3rd, 2004 that “people who have land being
acquired shall be compensated with land of similar land use purpose. If there
is no land for compensation, cash compensation equal to land use rights value
at the time of land acquisition shall be applied. If there is any difference in
value, in case of compensation by new land or house, such difference shall be
settled in cash” and Article 19 in the same Decree states that “house and
structure of domestic use of household or individual shall be compensated
with the value of construction of new house, structures of similar technical
standard”.
With the promulgation of the 2003 Land Law and the adoption of Decrees No.
197/2004/ND-CP and No. 188/2004/ND-CP, Decree 84/2007/ND-CP, the policies and
practices of the Government have become more consistent with WB’s social
safeguards policies. However, there are several gaps in the provisions of the WB
policy with those of the Vietnamese regulations and local provincial practices. A
comparative analysis between the WB policy and Vietnam’s national and provincial
policies together with the policy provisions adapted for the project is provided in
Annex A. The main gaps between national policy and provincial policies and OP 4.12
on involuntary resettlement of the World Bank are as follows.
According to the Decree 197 and Decree 69, the ‘significance’ of impact is
triggered by a loss of 30 percent or more of agricultural land while in OP 4.12
the trigger is at a loss of 20 percent or more of productive land or assets. In
the project however a thresho all households losing their productive land,
irrespective of the degree of loss, would be provided income rehabilitation
assistance.
Decree 197 recognizes non-legal users or users without papers or documents
only if they have been using the land to be affected by a project in a stable
manner prior to 15th October 1993. However, in accordance with the
provisions of the WB policy, all the affected users as of the cut-off-date would
be entitled to compensation for their affected assets and appropriate
relocation assistance.
Land Law and Decree 197 provide for deductions from both land and assets
compensation in a number of circumstances. In the project, all compensation
would be at replacement cost and without any depreciation or deduction for
salvaged material
In accordance with the Vietnamese regulations, houses and structures will not
be compensated if they have been constructed without permission,
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 17
constructed in contravention of a land use plan, or if they have encroached
upon a demarcated safety protection corridor. In the project all affected
structures would be paid at 100% of their replacement cost.
Vietnamese regulations provide for compensation at 80% for house and
structures if they have been built on land that is ineligible for compensation. In
the project all affected structures would be paid at 100% of their replacement
cost.
Decree 197 recognizes businesses or economic entities as DPs only if they hold
a business certificate (i.e. excludes non-registered businesses). In the project
all affected businesses, registered as well as unregistered would be entitled to
compensation for losses and other applicable assistance.
Decree 197 recognizes DPs losing employment and provide for economic
support only if they have employment contract and are employed by a
business or economic entity holding a business certificate. In the project
however, the DPs losing sources of livelihood due to the adverse impacts on
business establishments would be provided some assistance for a limited
period and assistance in finding alternative employment even if they do not
hold employment contract or if the businesses are not registered.
Under Decree 197 and Decree 69, assistance for occupational change and job
creation is only provided to DPs engaged directly in agricultural production
and in cases where more than 30% of their agricultural land is affected.
However, in the project all DPs affected by loss of productive land, irrespective
of degree of impact will be entitled to additional assistance and employment
and income rehabilitation measures.
In the project, a Replacement Cost Study (RCS) would be carried out by a
professional appraiser to determine prevalent market rates and to validate
compensation rates established by provinces. The final compensation rates
would take into consideration the findings of the RCS and consultation with
the DPs to ensure that all compensation is paid at replacement cost.
Vietnamese regulations do not fully cover the scope fo the vulnerable groups
as defined under the OP4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement of the World Bank.
However, the project provides for additional assistance to the households that
fall within the definition of the vulnerable groups (poor households who fall
below the poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women headed households,
disable persons).

Despite the key gaps, summarized above, the provisions and principles adopted in
the project will supersede the provisions of relevant decrees currently in force in Viet
Nam consistent with Decree No. 131/2006/ND-CP on ODA management. With the
approval of this RAP, the gaps analyzed above and the measures to address these
gaps are also approved by the competent authorities of GOV.

III. ENTITLEMENT POLICY
III.1. Objectives
The overall objectives of this resettlement policy are (i) to avoid, or if not, minimize
resettlement impacts; (ii) if land acquisition impacts are unavoidable, RAP is prepared
in a way to ensure that displaced persons will not be worse off; rather, they should
be able to at least maintain or otherwise improve their pre-project living standards
and income-earning capacity. The Project will also provide an opportunity for the
local population to derive benefits from it. Likewise, the Project should serve as an
occasion for the local population to participate in its planning and implementation,
thereby engendering a sense of ownership over this development undertaking.
III.2. Eligibility to compensation and relocation assistance
Cut-off Date: The cut-off date of the project coincides with the date of
commencement of the DMS that will be carried out by project authorities following
approval of the RAP by the Government of Vietnam and includes census and
inventory of losses (IOL). The cut-off date will be formally declared by the relevant
authorities to stakeholders. Persons who occupy the project site after the cut-off
date will not ben eligible for compensation and relocation assistance.
Eligibility: Persons who occupy the project site after the cut-off date will not be
eligible for compensation and relocation assistance. DPs eligible for compensation
and rehabilitation will include: (a) those who have formal legal rights to land or other
assets; (b) those who initially do not have formal legal rights to land or other assets
but have a claim to legal rights based upon the laws of the country; upon the
possession of documents such as land tax receipts and residence certificates; or upon
permission of local authorities to occupy or use the project affected plots; and (c)
those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying.
Persons covered under (a) and (b) are provided compensation at full replacement
costs for the land they lose, payment for non-land assets they own and necessary
assistance in cash or in-kind. Persons covered under (c) are provided compensation at
full replacement cost for non-land assets they own and resettlement assistance in
lieu of compensation for the land they occupy, and other assistance, as necessary, to
achieve the objectives set out in this policy provided that they occupy the project
area prior to the cut-off date of the project.
Persons who occupy the project area after the cut-off date will not be eligible to any
compensation or assistance.
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 20
III.3. Compensation Principle and Entitlement
Compensation policy and entitlements proposed in the project, and as specified in
the following sections, take into consideration the Vietnamese national and
provincial regulations and provisions of the WB’s OP 4.12. The overall objective is to
ensure that the DPs are able to improve or at least restore their livelihood to pre-
project level. Vulnerable households are provided additional assistance to meet the
above stated objectives.
III.3.1. Principles of Replacement Cost
All compensation will be based on the principle of replacement cost in cash or in kind.
In case of cash compensation, replacement cost is the amount calculated before
displacement, which is needed to replace an affected asset without deduction for
taxes and/or costs of transaction as follows:
(a) Productive Land (agricultural, aquaculture, garden and forest) based on
actual current market prices that reflect recent land sales in the area, and
in the absence of such recent sales, based on recent sales in comparable
locations with comparable attributes, fees and taxes for LURC or in the
absence of such sales, based on productive value;
(b) Residential land based on actual current market prices that reflect recent
land sales, and in the absence of such recent land sales, based on prices of
recent sales in comparable locations with comparable attributes; fees and
taxes for LURC;
(c) Houses and other related structures based on actual current market prices
of materials and labor without depreciation or deduction for salvaged
building materials and fees;
(d) Annual crops equivalent to current market value of crops at the time of
compensation;
(e) For perennial crops, cash compensation at replacement cost is equivalent
to current market value given the type, age and productive value (future
production) at the time of compensation;
(f) For timber trees, cash compensation at replacement cost is equivalent to
current market value for each type, age and relevant productive value at
the time of compensation based on the diameter at breast height of each
tree.
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 21
In case of in kind compensation, the principles will be as follows:
(a) Replacement residential land will be of the locational advantage and
physical attributes similar to the land lost with equivalent or better access
to physical infrastructure and social services.
(b) Replacement productive land will be of equivalent productive potential and
locational advantage similar to the land lost, with improved or better
condition for cultivation compared to that at the time of handing over to
the project.
(c) Building and other substructures will be at the replacement conditions.
(d) Either grant with LURC and ownership of building without any taxes fees or
if not, taxes and fees for LURC and ownership of building must be included
in the package of compensation to DPs.
III.3.2. Compensation policy for agricultural land
The DPs will be entitled to the following types of compensation and rehabilitation
measures: The general mechanism for compensation of lost agricultural land will be
through provision of "land for land" arrangements of equal productive capacity, at
location satisfactory to the DP. If land compensation size is smaller or lower quality,
DPs will be entitled to compensation on cash equivalent for the differences. However,
if land is not available or at the informed request of the DP prefers to receive cash
compensation for the lost land will be given as follow:
(a) Legal and legalizable land users:
(i) if the portion of the land to be lost represents 20% or less of the total
area of the landholding by DP, and the remaining plot of land is still
economically viable, cash compensation for the lost area at full
replacement cost. The DPs will also be entitled to income rehabilitation
assistance as described in item (iii) below.
(ii) if less than 20% of productive land affected rendering the remaining
land unviable for continued use, the project, at the request of the DP,
will acquire entire land holding and the DP will be entitled to assistance
and support similar to that in item (iii) below.
(iii) if more than 20% of a household’s agricultural land is acquired, then
in addition to cash compensation at full replacement cost for the lost
area (or for the entire affected plot if the remaining area of the plot is
not economically viable), or replacement land of equivalent
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 22
productivity, the Project will provide rehabilitation allowances for
training/retraining and intensifying of the existing occupation or shifting
to new ones, combining with technical assistance such as agricultural
extension, credit etc.
The DP whose agricultural land is acquired will be compensated by cash
equivalent to 100% of the replacement cost. If the remaining land is not
economically viable, as requested by DP, the entire area will be
acquired. In addition to a cash compensation, the DPs will also be
entitled to income rehabilitation assistance. The forms of assistance
support would be decided through close consultation with the entitled
DPs to ensure appropriate and effective measures assisting the DPs to
restore their income generating capacity and income levels.
(b) Users with temporary/ leased rights to use land:
(i) The DPs will be refunded the lease payment they have made for the
affected portion of the land corresponding to the remaining lease
period. Additionally, the DPs will be compensated for any investment
they have made on the affected land or 30% of the replacement cost of
the affected land, whichever is higher.
(ii) if the remaning land is rendered unviable, at the request of the DP,
the project will take back entire land and provide the DP with suitable
replacement land at location acceptable to DP. If suitable replacement
land is not available, at the request of the DP, the project will refund
the payment made by the DPs corresponding to the remaining lease
period. Additionally, the project will compensate DP for the investment
made on the affected land or 30% of the replacement cost, whichever is
higher.
(c ) Land Users without recognized Rights to Use Land
(i) In lieu of compensation for land, the DPs will receive assistance
corresponding to 50% of land replacement cost.
(ii) For poor and vulnerable, household and DPs lóing their productive
land, including landless, as priority, allocation of arable land equal to
per capita arable land in commune as regulated by Decree 64/1993/CP,
OR, if there no land available for allocation or, at the informed request
by the DPs, in addition to above, a rehabilitation/training assistance will
be provided to ensure the DPs are able at least to restore or improve
their income levels and living standards.
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 23
In case when the affected persons utilizes the public land (in Right of Way), that
subjects to be recovered under the project, with conditions to return, on request, the
land to the Government, they (DPs) will not be compensated for this public land, but
will be compensated for crops and trees at full market prices.
III.3.3. Compensation for Residential Land
(a) DPs losing residential land without structures: Compensation for loss of land
in cash at replacement cost
(b) DPs losing residential land with structures built thereon and the remaining
land is sufficient (not less than 40 m2 in the urban area and not less 100 m2 in
the rural area) to rebuild their house on (reorganizing DP), the DPs will be
compensated for a part of loss of land in cash at the replacement cost and
compensation for fully affected structures at full replacement cost. If
house/structure is partially affected, repairing cost to restore it to former or
better conditions.
(c) DPs losing residential land with structures built thereon and without
remaining land sufficient (less than 40 m2 in the urban rural area and less 100
m2 in the rural area) to rebuild on (relocating DP) are entitled to:
For the DPs, who have legal or legalizable rights to the affected land, can opt
to one of the followings:
(i) The provision of replacement residential land (plot at the relocation site)
of equivalent size, at a similar location and with land title without any
cost. The relocation site will be developed with basic infrastructure,
including access road, access to electricity, to water supply, drainage,
which at least are equal to conditions existed at the former location; or
(ii) Cash compensation for entire residential land at full replacement cost
and additional assistance for self-relocation equivalent to the unit cot of
physical infrastructure invest per plot at the relocation site.
For the DPs, who do not have legal or legalizable rights to the affected residential
land, are entitled to the assistance amount equal to 30% of replacement cost.
For poor or vulnerable DPs who have no other residential land in the same as their
affected ward/commune, the project will provide either a residential plot of minimum
size at a common RSs or on a individual residential plot, with titled to the land (plot of
40 m2 in urban area and 100m2 in rural area); or on request of the DPs, cash assistance

themselves.
III.3.4. Compensation houses/other structures
DPs losing houses and/or other structures will be entitled to the following:
(i) For fully affected house (including house whose whole area is affected
or partly affected but non-affected part could not be used either
because of technical issue or because of inconvenient to use):
Compensation in cash for entire affected structures will be provided at
100% of the full replacement cost for materials and labor, regardless of
whether or not they have title to the affected land or permit to build
the affected structure. The amount will be sufficient to rebuild a
structure the same as the former one at current market prices. No
deductions will be made for depreciation or salvageable materials.
(ii) If house/structure is partially affected and the remaining structure is
viable for continued use, the project will provide a house/structure

108020’E. It is in the central of Vietnam, 759km from Ha Noi and 960km from Ho Chi
Minh City. Conveniently, it lies on the north-south communications axis of land route
(National Highway 1A), rail, sea, and air routes. Da Nang borders Thua Thien-Hue
Province to the north, Quang Nam Province to the south and the west, and the
Eastern Sea to the east.
The total area and population of Da Nang are 1,283.4 km2 and 0.8 million
respectively. Da Nang is one of the national economic, cultural, scientific and
technological centers, especially of the central region and the Western Highlands.
During the past years, it has had continuous and stable economic growth in line with
progress in social life, advanced infrastructure and better urban planning. GDP grew

IV.2. Survey on the socioeconomic conditions of the project affected
households
The IOL and socioeconomic survey was originally conducted during December 2008-
March 2009. However, following changes in the alignment by TEDI (December 2009)
additional survey was carried out during January 2010 based on TEDI adjusted
alignment. The data on the socioeconomic conditions of the project affected
households covered a total of 114 households. The selection of households for
socioeconomic survey was based on the results of Inventory of loss (IOL), and
households affected severally by loss of agricultural land and businesses. The
socioeconomic household survey accounted for 27 % of the 424 affected households
in the Da Nang City. Formal and informal meetings and group discussions with local
authorities and other stakeholders including local NGOs was also carried out during
the socioeconomic survey.
At the time of survey and information gathering as mentioned above, only the F/S
was available. Precise affected area has not yet identified and marked on the ground.
Hence, the socioeconomic characteristics of the communities and potential DPs
presented below will necessarily be updated after the final detailed designs are
completed and the bench marks demarcating for the project boundaries are put on

the ground and officially declared to local authorities and local people. The results of
survey from a sample of the project affected households are as follows.
IV.2.1. Demographic Characteristics of DPs
According to the results of census and IOL for 114 affected HHs (461 persons)
who are located in the project affected areas, all respondents are Kinh people.
The socioeconomic survey also did not indicate presence of any ethnic minorities in
the Da Nang section.
The average HH size is 4 persons for the whole section. The average age of the total
surveyed population is 35 years old with the average proportion of males is 48.3 %
and females is 51.7 %. The detailed Demographic Characteristics of DPs by

Note: Survey populations are at the age of 18 to 55 of the surveyed 114 households.
IV.2.4. Household Incomes
More than 55.3 % of the surveyed DPs are engaged in the agricultural sector. From
these, it is identified that the primary income of the DPs comes from agricultural
activities.
The average monthly income of the surveyed HH in affected districts is about VND
867,000 per capita per month. The monthly income per capita by communes is
presented in Annex B.
IV.2.5. Households below Poverty level
The poverty line for residents of the Project Area for the period 2006-2010 was set at
200,000VND per person per month on rural area and 260,000VND per person per
month on urban area2. However, since the project predominantly covers rural areas,
the criteria applied to assess the poverty line is rural one, which is 200,000 VND per
person per month is for poor household.
About 77.5% of households have their average monthly incomes per capita over VND
200,000 per month. Findings from the survey show that a considerable high
proportion (29.8%) of monthly income per capita is less than VND 200,000 and would
need additional assistance to meet the project objectives. The details of Number of
poverty household in each commune are described in the Annex B.

IV.2.6. Access to public facilities
Health
In the affected districts, the most common health problems are flu, food poisoning,
diarrhea, and traffic accident consequences. HIV/AIDS is a concern although the
reported numbers of affected persons are very limited at present. There is a high
under-nutrition among children below five years old and comparatively low uptake of
contraceptive methods for family planning.
Public health centers are presented in each commune, and there is a hospital in each
district. However, facilities are poor in the main project area and there is a lack of
nurses as well as medicine.
It was learned that there is just about 32 % of the HHs experience with periodic
health check. There is only 22.4% of survey population who work as professional,
workers and government officer have health insurance.

Education
All communes have kindergartens and a school with primary and lower secondary
levels. However school facilities are poor and many villages are far away from a
school. Many adults have only completed 6 year, or 4 year or only 1 year of primary
education. Difficult economic conditions lead to high numbers of children dropping
out of school. The lack of high school and of opportunities for non-agricultural
employment leads to low motivation for study among the young. The details of the
number of HH accessing to public facilities are shown in the annex A.

Page 35
IV.2.7. Access to utilities and services
Water supply
About 15.1% of surveyed HHs is connected to safe water system and 84.9% of HHs
have to use drinking water derived from wells. Among 84.9% above, only a few of
households have filter and treatment system for drinking water. Water is in short
supply during the dry season, dirty during the rainy season. Poor water supply may be
one of the reasons that there is a high incidence of water borne diseases in the area.
Electricity
Hundred percent (100%) of the affected communes are connected to the national
power grid with private meter. However, the electricity usually interrupted in dry
season.
Sanitation
Some 13 % of the DPs have latrine with semi-septic tank and 85 % use latrine with
septic tank; the remaining 3 percent of the population are without toilet facilities.
The details by communes are shown in Annex B.

Residential land, agriculture land, production forestry land and other land are the
main types of land that are lost by the project. Among them, agriculture land lost the
highest area compared to others, which is 370,374 m2. There is large area of affected
Forestry land and other land used either by the people or public sector agencies.
Expressway construction activities under the Project will therefore significantly affect
these types of land 9,075 m2 and 67,716 m2 respectively. The area of Residential
land, which is affected by the project, is 38,498 m2. Each types of affected land is
discussed detail in the following sections.
1. Loss of Agricultural Land
The number of households losing agricultural land and the remaining land is not
economically viable (fully affected or the remaining areas are less than 300 m2) are
shown as in Error! Reference source not found. below.
Most of the HHs in the project area has the average amount of 2,000 m2 of
agricultural land. As can be seen in the Error! Reference source not found. below,
395 HHs are affected through loss of agricultural land, of which 352 HHs lose more
than 20% of their land holding and 60 HHs lose more than 70% of their total
agriculture land holding. These 60 HHs are considered as those who are affected by
full loss of their land, thus, relocation option would be required and the project has
to acquire and compensate for a whole plot.
Besides that, for those losing more than 20% of the land, the project has to find the
income sources to evaluate the dependant rate on agricultural income in order to
have a suitable compensatory plan.
3 Other land or Public land is the land that being used for other purposes, not for agriculture, forestry and living.
It includes vacant land along roads, water surface; cultural and historical relics land; land used by Security and
national defense offices; and other specially used land such as land for industrial waste

There are 317 households have red book, 42 households have not received with red
book, but are legalizable and are titled to receive red book and 36 households will not
be eligible to have red book. These households are part of annual voluntary migration
from other places to the project site, which is endowed with very fertile land and
moderate climate. However, these HH are not considered as permanent residents of
the area and therefore they are not eligible to have red book.

Further, the total loss of agricultural land compared to total area of agricultural land in the project communes is minor, varying between 0.5-3.0% in Da nang city - the overall average being 1.57%. Table V-4 presents the total and affected area of agricultural land in the project communes of all the three provinces covered by the project.
The average agricultural land holding in the project communes vary between 300 to 1000 m2 per person. Taking an average household size of 4, the total land holding varies between 1200 m2 to 4000m2 per household. Most of the HHs in the project area have the average amount of 2,000 m2 of agricultural land. Even if the lowest
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 39
land holding of 1200 m2 is considered, on an average the households would have to lose 75% or more of their land holding before the remaining land falls below minimum economic size of 300 m2. Only 60 households would lose >70% of their land holding in this province. It is therefore safe to assume that the number of households where the remaining land is rendered below 300 m2 is not likely to be more than 400. However, this will be verified further when the DMS is completed.
The policy provides for preference to ‘land-for-land’ option to households who are affected by loss of >20% of their productive land. Total number of 352 households fall in this category. Of these 60 would lose >70% of their productive land. The remaining 292 hh would lose between 20-70% of their land holding. As discussed above, there would be very few of these households looking for replacement land because the remaining area of their land would be more than sufficient to support the family.
As required by the policy, the project is required to offer land-for-land option to these households. However, district and commune authorities have confirmed that although there is non-agricultural public land in the project communes, there is no public agricultural land available that can be used for replacement land. As such project would not be in a position to ‘offer’ land-for-land option to the DPs.
The authorities also confirmed, and can be seen from Table V.4 below, there is significant area of private agricultural land in each project commune, as well as in other communes adjoining the project area, that can be purchased by the DPs if they so wish on willing-buyer willing-seller basis. Field investigations have revealed that although there are cases of households buying and selling agricultural land holdings in the project area, these deals are done unofficially. In Vietnam, people cannot buy/sell agricultural land officially although private deals when done and are routinely regularized by commune authorities.
Project authorities have also committed to provide following assistance to DPs who wish to buy agricultural land in communes within and adjoining the project:
(i) provide information to the DPs on available replacement land and facilitate visit to the area;
(ii) provide logistical support to relocating DPs when they find replacement land;
(iii) facilitate processing of legal documents such as registration, issuance of LURCs. The project will also cover the cost of legal documentation if the DPs buy replacement land within 6 months from receipt of compensation for affected agricultural land.
Although compensation rates for affected land and other assets would be established based on the Replacement Cost Surveys to ensure that they reflect prevalent market prices, it is recognized that in case of large number of households willing to buy private agricultural land, the land prices in the market would most likely rise compared to the pre-project level and may in some cases go above the compensation
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 40
rates DPs receive. However, Every DP affected by loss of productive land, irrespective of the degree of impact, will be provided with additional assistance equivalent to 1.5 times the compensation amount. This additional cash amount would ensure that DPs would be able to buy land in private market even if there is marginal rise in land prices.
The entitlements to compensation and other assistance to the DPs affected by loss of >20% of their productive land, or where <20% affected but the remaning land is rendered unviable for economic use (<300m2), as outlined in Section III.3.10, will ensure that even if the land-for-land option is not made available the DPs would be able to improve, or at least restore their livelihood to the pre-project levels. All the DPs exposed by impact other than those considered to be minor, will have a range of programs to support their full livelihood restoration and assure asset compensation at replacement value.

2. Loss of Residential Land
Number of households which fully affected on residential plot (fully affected or the
remaining areas are less than 100 m2 in the rural area and less than 40 m2 in the
urban area) and residential landless households are identified by district as in Table
V.5 below.

As can be seen from the Table V.5, 62 HHs are affected by loss of residential land, of
which 37 HHs are partially loss of land both with structure and without structure. The
remaining land is enough for them to continue to live there; so that relocated option
is not applicable. The compensatory money will be provided to those. 25 HHs are
fully affected and needed to be relocated and the project has to acquire and
compensate for a whole plot.

It is identified that there are 50 households have LURC, 8 households have not
granted with LURC, but are legalizable to be granted with LURC and 4 households will
not be eligible to have LURC, because they have changed the use of land illegally from
the agricultural land ton non-agricultural land without permission. When these HHs
are affected by the land - acquisition, they will be compensated based on the
agricultural land use according to the Decision 36/2009/QĐ-UB of Da Nang People’s
Committee, dated 24 December 2009.
3. Loss of Forest Land
Total 9,075 m2 of forest land are lost due to the project implementation. Most of
them are the production forest (details in table 5.2).
About 80% of forest land belongs to public forest, the remaining (20%) is provided to
local people through 135 program. The numbers of affected HHs due to the loss of
forestland under the 135 program would need to be collected at the time of DMS.
4. Loss of Other Land
There are 88,067 m2 of other land are affected by the project. However, this category
of land is public land. Therefore, no households are considered affected by the loss of
this land by the project.
B. Impacts on Structures
1. Loss of Houses
Based on impacts of the project, two affected kinds of houses are collected including
fully affected and partly affected houses. Each kind of house is concretely discussed
in the following subsections. Houses that are collected here including houses in
residential land (residential land with structure) and houses in business households.
Fully affected houses.
The number of HHs who are fully affected due to the loss of houses is 23, which is
also the number of affected houses. These households would be entitled to
relocation as the remaining residential land would not be of minimum size for for
continued use and reconstruction of houses. These houses consist of 5 types
depending upon their construction types. The total affected area is 1,588 m2, of
which 915 m2 belongs to class 4 houses; followed by 305 m2 of class 2 houses; 275
m2 of class 3; 93 m2 of temporary houses.
There are no houses on non-residential land.

There are 36 households whose their houses are partially affected, which also the
number of affected houses. Class 4 houses attribute to the highest number of
affected houses with 23 houses. No temporary houses were recorded by partially
loss.
The total affected area is 865 m2.
These partially affected houses will received the compensation at replacement cost
for the affected area plus the repair allowance equivalent to 20% of compensation
for affected structure, which will enable them to improve their housing condition.
2. Loss of Other Structures
Structures include kitchens (which are separated from living houses), Houses for
poultry, other structures with fibro cement font cover, cement Playground, brick wall
fence, iron gate, graves, wells. Areas or numbers of each affected types in district
level are concretely discussed in the table below. The losses of other structures by
communes are described in Annex C.
kitchen has the highest affected areas, which are 1,315 m2; followed by the area of
Cement ground (which is 1,274 m2), other structures with fibro cement font cover
(990 m2), Brick wall fence (764 m2), Houses for poultry (which is 596 m2), and
finally, the lowest affected areas belongs to iron gate with 255m2. The number of
graves and well are considerable high, which are 135 and 34 respectively.

C. Impacts on crops and trees
Crops are raised in agriculture land, and trees in both agriculture land and residential
land. The main types of crops including rice and maize, and of trees are sugar cane,
acacia, eucalyptus.
There are 288,890 m2 of land under rice crop, 46,444 m2 of land under maize crops,
35,040 m2 of land under sugar cane, and 9,075 trees of acacia will be affected. The
numbers of other affected trees are 585.

The number of households affected by the loss of crop areas and those affected by
the loss of agricultural land are the same, 395 households. 62 households are
affected by loss of trees. In addition, a total of 262 households are affected by loss of
over 9,600 trees in kind of acacia and other trees
D. Loss of Business and Employment
Business here are small shop including vegetable shops, groceries and others
essential things for life. These business HHs are run by their members in the houses,
do not hire employee to support their business; therefore, the affect to employees
are not present.
There are 21 small scale businesses (independent shop) are affected, of which 12 will
have to be relocated. These affected households (12 HHs) are eligible to organize on
a resettlement site or in a market area. The rest households (9 HHs) are partly
affected by the project. The remaining areas of their shops are large enough for them
to continue their business. The assistance is provided to those households depending
on the total of the areas that they loss and dependence on business income. If their
incomes are diversity (mean that they have other income except for business like
income from agriculture, etc.), the assistance is different from the HHs whose income
just originated from business.

Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 49
The data on affected major business and manufacturing establishments, both
registered and un-registered, was not collected at this time. The data would need to
be collected during the DMS period.
Of the affected small-scale household businesses, 11 businesses are registered while
the remaining 10 are un- registered. These will receive compensation in accordance
with the provisions of the compensation policy. The income of HHs are quite high, the
monthly average income of each household is about 3.6 million VND.

E. Impacts on Collective assets and public works
All the collective assets and public works are affected by the project need to be
relocated, including:
- One 500KV electricity pole in Hoa Phong commune
- three 220 kV electricity poles
- Two 35 kV electricity poles
- Five 10kV electricity poles, and
- Four-teen 0,4kV electricity poles
All these electricity poles belong to Da Nang electricity.
- Five telephone poles, belonging to Da Nang post office.
F. Impact on vulnerable people
Vulnerable groups include HHs who are under the poverty line set forth by MOLISA
(34 HHs) , female headed HHs (93 HHs), and those eligible to the social policy5 of the
Government (36 HHs). Most of these households fall in more than one category.
However, a household will receive support/assistance for only one criteria, thus the
maximum number of households requiring additional assistance due to vulnerability
criteria not exceed 93..
5 Social Policy households are those with heroes – mother, and/or with member who lay down one’ life for
country and/ or wounded in the war...

Presently, the information on households incomes and below poverty line and those
falling in the category of vulnerable people is based on the sample survey. However,
in order to determine the total number of such households for entitlements, the
aggregate numbers would need to be collected at the time of DMS.
G. Relocation Requirements
Based on data given above, Table V.15 indicates the number of HHs that need to
relocate due to the loss of residential land, or entitled to receive a minimum land plot
by loss of agriculture land, and by loss of structures and businesses. As can be seen
from the table, there are 85 HHs will be receive land plot in resettlement site , of
which relocated HHs due to loss of residential land (both with and without structure)
include 25 HHs, and business (12 HHs) who would be provided space for carrying out
business activities at the resettlement sites. Additionally, 60 households affected by
loss of agricultural land where the remaining land is rendered unviable for use (<300
M2) will receive minimum size plots of 100 m2.

During the consultations with the DPs many relocating households, specially those affected by loss of residential land, have shown preference for self-relocation. Actual number of DPs opting for project sponsored RS would therefore be much smaller than estimated above and will be finalized following more consultations, after completion of the DMS.

VI. RELOCATION ARRANGEMENT
Based on the results of IOL, described in Chapter 5, the number of households that
would need to be relocated and results of consultation on the preference of HH to
the modes of relocation (self-relocation or to plots at the relocation sites which will
be constructed by the project), together with need of resettlement sites in the district
is shown as in Error! Reference source not found. below.
A total of 85 HHs have to relocate. Out of the 25 households eligible for relocation
due to the loss of residential land (with and without structures) some are likely to opt
for self-relocation. This will be further reconfirmed during the implementation phase
and exact number of DPs willing to go for the project sponsored resettlement sites
and for self-relocation would be determined based on the consultations. DPs would
be requested to confirm their decision in writing. The remaining 60 households
affected by loss of their entire productive land or where the remaining land is
rendered unviable, are to be provided with a minimum size plot of 100m2 on
resettlement site.
Households opting for self-relocation will be entitled to compensation and relocation
assistance will be provided. For those opting for project sponsored RS, the minimum
number of households for RS would be 25 to make it economically feasible for
provision of utilities and public service. Particularly, in Hoa Phong commune, there
are only 6 HHs relocation, which is not eligible to organize a separate site, thus these
HHs will be added in other sites that established and vacancy remaining.
VI.1. The potential of the resettlement sites
Information on the potential of resettlement sites in the communes was obtained
through a series of consultation and discussion with the local authorities, community
leaders and DPs. General description of potential resettlement site is summarized
below:
As described in Chapter 8 about the consultation with the district and commune
authorities on the potential of land for land arrangement, the affected district and
communes gave their confirmation that there is no public land available to provide
replacement agricultural land. However, the district and affected communes said that
it is not difficult to buy agricultural land in their locality. For the potential of land
banks to relocation, the information were obtained from the leaders of the affected
districts and communes through the first and second rounds of consultation and then
through the meetings with DPs at the affected communes in the second round of
consultation, the potential of arrangement for the relocation at each affected
commune including the site could be developed by the project owner and the sites
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 66
which were planned or under construction by local authorities and land developers
which the relocating households could deal to the owners themselves or the PMU85
and DCSCC would negotiate with the site owners to arrange for the project relocating
households. The potential of the residential sites in each affected communes are as
below.
Hoa Vang district authorities advised that the Project Management Unit should plan
for group relocation and if HH prefer to the relocation site, the project should buy
plots from land developers rather than to construct the new sites.
1) There are two sites in Hoa Nhon commune (i) the first site is with the area of
about 6,000 m2 in Ward Phuoc Hung, the former owner was the local
government. This site is about 600 m far from the old residential area. The site
is also very close to the commune-link roads, health care station, kindergarten,
and community cultural house. The transmission line of 110 KVA, 35 KVA and
0.4 KVA are available nearby the site. The site is located on agricultural land
thus there is no household that have to relocated to new place. (ii) The other
site is in Ward Phu Hoa 1 with the area of about from 6,000 m2 to 10,000 m2.
This site is close to the commune link road (11 m wide with asphalt payment),
health care station, kindergarten, and community cultural house, about 1 and
0.5 km to old residential area. The transmission lines of 110 kv and 0.4 kv are
available nearby the site.
2) There is one site in Hoa Phong commune of Hoa Vang district. The site is with
the area of about 11,000 m2 in Ward Cam Toai Trung, the former owner was
the local government. This site is about 300 m far from the old residential
area. The site is also very close to the commune-link roads, health care station,
kindergarten, and community cultural house. The transmission line of 0.4 KVA
are available nearby the site. .
3) There are two sites in Hoa Tien commune (i) the first site is with the area of
about 10,000 m2 in Ward Thach Bo, the former owner was the local
government. This site is about 400 m far from the old residential area. The site
is also very close to the commune-link roads, health care station, kindergarten,
and community cultural house. The transmission line of 15 KVA and 0.4 KVA
are available nearby the site. (ii) The other site is in Ward Le Son 1 with the
area of about from 5,000 m2 to 7,500 m2. This site is close to the commune
link road, health care station, kindergarten, and community cultural house,
about 600 m to old residential area. The transmission lines of 0.4 kv are
available nearby the site.
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 67
PMU 85 will carry out extensive consultations with the district and communes
authorities to identify available potential resettlement sites and finalize the sites in
further consultations with the relocating DPs to ensure that the location of
resettlement sites are acceptable to them.
Land allocation in resettlement site: it is proposed that the land allocation in above
mentioned resettlement site is as following:
1. For DPs, who affected with residential land and have to be relocated
would be offered plots of varying sizes, the minimum being 100 m2 in
rural areas and 40m2 in urban areas.
2. Of the households affected by loss of residential land, 25 households
would be provided with separate space for business activities.
3. For DPs, who are affected with agricultural land and the remaining is
not economically viable, are entitled to get land plot of minimum size
100m2.
Based on the land requirement, land plots from the 05 resettlement sites will be
provided to DPs as described in Table V.1 below6.
The number of resettlement sites to be developed would depend on the final number
of DPs commit to opt for the project sponsored resettlement sites. Further, if the
holding capacity of resettlement site in a district is lower than the demand, some of
the DPs would be given the option to relocate to the resettlement sites in the
adjoining districts with surplus land in the resettlement sites.
The land for the all the potential sites are owned by respective local authorities.
However, some of these areas may have been provided to local community members
on lease. If such leased areas are used for development of RS, appropriate
compensation and assistance will be provided to affected households in accordance
with the policy provisions in this RAP.
The area of potential sites is more than required to relocate DPs. During the
implementation phase and following consultations with the DPs entitled to
relocation, precise requirement for RS would be determined and preference for RS
development would be given to the areas without any encumbrances. Preference
would also be given to develop only non-agricultural land for RS.
6 It is noted that, the construction coefficient for resettlement site development is about 2.2 time.

VI.2. Process of site development and resettlement policy
Fully affected residential plot with house (households have to be relocated): Plot no
longer viable for continued use and the entire property to be acquired. The DPs
would be entitled to relocation if in the urban area, the non-affected residential area
is less than 40 m2 and in the rural area, non-affected residential area is less than 100
m2. This will be finally determined by the DCSCC and concurred with by the affected
household during the DMS.
DPs who are fully affected on residential plot and house have an option on either:
(i) Cash compensation at replacement cost (free from taxes and transaction
costs) for the entire land plus with bonus for self-relocation, or
(ii) Plot at the resettlement site, which will be developed by the project.
Based on the differences in cost between the residential land and the new
sites, compensation options including:
(a) If the selling cost of plot(s) at the new site is more than the value of the
affected residential land, DPs receive new plot at no additional cost. If
the plot at the new site is equal the value of affected residential land,
DPs receive new plot at the new site without any balance.
(b) If the plot(s) at the new site is less than the value of affected residential
land, DPs will receive plot(s) and the difference in cash.
(c) The planning and detailed design for the relocation sites will be done by
consultant of PMU 85 and approved by the PC of Da Nang City.
(d) Detailed regulation on plot allocation will be developed by PMU 85 and
DCSCC through consultation with commune authorities and DPs then
need an approval of district PC.
(e) For landless households, assistance through provision of land-for-land
of similar attributes with secure tenure at no cost to landless
households. The size of land will not be less than 40 m2 or cash
equivalent, if DPs prefer for self-relocation.
Actual the number of plot on resettlement sites will depend on the preference by the
DPs.
Following the final decision of affected households with regard to their relocation
options, the key steps below presents the required activities, timeline, and groups

responsible in order to design, construct and relocate households to the new
resettlement sites.
(a) The Project Management Unit 85 and the DCSCC to propose the sites to
the PPCs of Da Nang for their approval (total area of the site, number of
plots, areas of plots etc.).
(b) The Project Management Unit 85 and the DCSCC to prepare the TOR for
the site planning and detailed design, select consultants for these
services, consultants to prepare for the site planning and detailed

(e) Plot allocation to HH and issuance of LURC and ownership of house.
(f) During the preparation of detailed planning, the DCSCC will (i) consult
with relocating households to discuss final location of the relocation
site, size of plot, costs, payment conditions, relocation schedule, and
procedures for the awarding of plots to households; (ii) inform the
affected households that if the value of the plot is lower than the
replacement cost of the affected household’s lost residential land, the
price difference will be paid in cash to the affected household; (iii)
document agreements reached with the households and posted in the
office of the commune. The DCSCC will also take into consideration
suitable plots for households who have businesses and ensure that the
plot that will be allocated for them will have suitable commercial
potential.

For affected households who opt to receive cash compensation for self-relocation will
be compensated in full for all their losses (land and non-land assets) and the
necessary relocation and transition allowances. The DCSCC and commune authorities
to help relocating households through the process of land purchasing and having
legal papers for the ownerships. DCSCC also help relocating families (if needed) to
deal with residential land developers in the localities in case DPs want to buy plots or
apartments at the sites which developed by site developers or by districts (not by the
project).
VI.3. Cost for the site development
According to the entitlement policy and the principles described in item VII.2 above,
the cost for the site development by PMU 85 will be partially repaid by the DPs from
their compensation package for residential land (DPs receive compensation for
residential land lost and buy the plot at the resettlement sites). However, to achieve
the objectives of the RAP, the following item will not be included in the selling cost of
plot ( will be subsidized by the project owner)
(i) Cost for topographic, geologic, hydrologic survey;
(ii) Cost for site planning, detailed design and EIA;
(iii) Cost for the access road (off site road); AND
(iv) Cost for social services such as health care station, kindergarten,
community cultural house etc.
VI.4. Issues of relocation should be done once RAP is approved.
The following activities need to be done once the RAP is approved.
(i) Finalize the list of relocating HH in each commune after the DMS
completion, based on the bench marks demarcate for the project site on the
ground.
(ii) Get reconfirmed from relocating HH on their options to the relocation (to
the relocation sites or to the sites in the commune which re
underdevelopment or will be developed by non-project owners or self-
relocation management).
(iii) Develop for the steps and mechanisms of site approval, site planning and
design, cost estimate, bidding and site construction and construction
supervision, plot allocation and granting of LURC to relocating HH.

VII. INCOME RESTORATION AND REHABILITATION
Experience has it that, unless mitigated, involuntary resettlement resulting from
development projects often gives rise to severe economic, social, and environmental
problems: production systems are dismantled; people face impoverishment when
their affected productive assets or income sources are not replaced; people are
relocated to environments where their productive skills may be less applicable and
the competition for resources greater; community institutions and social networks
are weakened; kin groups are dispersed; and cultural identity, traditional authority,
and the potential for mutual help are diminished or lost. In addition, there are people
who on account of their position in society and/or their physical and economic
situation are less capable of re-establishing themselves than the others and,
therefore, face greater risks of impoverishment. Consequently, compensation at the
replacement cost itself is not enough, relocation assistance through different types of
allowances and economic restoration plan need to be developed in order to make
sure that the project affected person will not be worse off or otherwise improved
their livelihood and living standards at new places. The livelihood restoration and
improvement are required in the involuntary resettlement policy of WB. The GoV has
improved its policy on land acquisition, compensation and assistance to resettlement
from time to time, especially for the assistance policies in order to make sure that the
affected persons will not be worse off or otherwise improve their living conditions
and livelihood at the new place (e.g., Laws, Decrees of GoV such as Land law 2003,
Decree 197/2004, Decree 69/2009 etc.).
The DPs affected by loss of productive land, irrespective of the degree of impact
would be eligible for the variety of income rehabilitation and assistance, allowances,
additional to the compensation. Additionally, households affected by loss of business,
and employment, poor and other vulnerable households would be alos be entitled to
income rehabilitation assistance. The entitlement for the economic restoration and
livelihood improvement are described in detail in Chapter 3 and as follows. The
combination of income rehabilitation measures focusing on the DPs affected by loss
of productive land, loss of business, and vulnerable households include:
a. For Loss of Residential Land:
a. Relocation Allowance;
b. House Rental Allowance;
c. Additional assistance to relocating DPs where the compensation amount
they receive falls short of the minimum size plot at the RS;
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 74
d. Providing cash equivalent to the cost of a developed minimum size plot to
the self-relocating DPs;
b. For Loss of Residential Land:
a. Allowance for Living/Production Stabilization (during the transition period);
b. Provision of a free minimum size plot of 100m2 to DPs who are affected by
loss of productive land and the remaining land is rendered unviable for
continued use;
c. Assistance to DPs for lost agricultural/pond/garden land adjacent to
residential land but not recognized as residential land;
d. Agriculture extension services to farmers affected by partial loss of
productive land and the remaining land is viable for continued use;
e. Every DPs affected by loss of productive land is provided with additional
cash assistance equivalent to three times the compensation amount
f. Support for vocational training to at least one member of affected
households. 30% of such positions would be reserved for women. Trainees
would be provided with subsistence allowance during the training period
c. Other Allowances/Assistance
a. Incentive Bonus
b. Repair Allowance for partially affected structures
c. A lump sum cash amount to cover cost of utility connections at new site to
all relocating DPs;
d. Transport allowance to all relocating DPs
Vulnerable DPs will get additional assistance as follows:
a. Provision of minimum size of plot at RS to landless DPs, or cash equivalent;
b. DPs covered under provincial social policy to receive cash assistance;
c. Other vulnerable groups not covered under the provincial social policy to
receive the same assistance as provided to social policy
The process of consultation with DP’s on different options to the economic
restoration/activities was described as in Table VIII.2 of Chapter VIII below. For the
economic restoration needs, the consultant of PMU5 has carried out for the
following:
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 75
(a) Effort of seeking agricultural land to compensate for agricultural lost land
Since no public agricultural land is available that can be offered to the DPs as
replacement agricultural land, the project authorities will make special efforts
to assist DPs who wish to purchase replacement private agricultural land on
willing-buyer willing-seller basis. The project will also provide logistical support
for such transactions and all legal and documentation costs would be covered
by the project if carried out within a period of six months from the date of
receipt of compensation by the DPs.
Further, the compensation amount plus additional cash support provided to
the DPs would ensure that they would be able to buy replacement productive
land in the areas within or adjoining the project even if there is some increase
in the land prices due to the increase demand.
(b) Employment Opportunities and Income Restoration Activities
Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the project will plan and implement a
responsive and sustainable income restoration activity for eligible households
as needed. In the consultation from December 2009 to January 2010, various
institutions, including local NGOs in Da Nang City were met with regard to
possible employment opportunities, trainings, loans availability in the localities
and income restoration program activities that are available or can be made
available for the affected people. Discussions were held with regard to
programs available and basic requirements in order for households to be
eligible for employment. Organizations providing small loans were also
explored. The description about consultation with stakeholders was detailed
in Chapter 8 above. For the specific purpose of consultation for the economic
restoration activities, the institutions were met with is as in Table VII.1 below.

is due to the fact that many companies are in need of both skilled and unskilled
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 77
laborers. The employment is also could be accessible through DOLISA of Da Nang
City.
(c) Design and Implementation of Income Restoration Programs
As a result of consultation with local authorities, various organizations and affected
households, the following farm-based and non-farm based activities/programs are
listed for consideration in the planning of a responsive income restoration program
that will cater to the needs and preparedness of each eligible households:
- Piloting of selected production and income generating opportunities that
are endorsed by the province and district. Vocational training and non-farm
based employment should be in a first priority.
- Intensive agricultural production for farmers who still have remaining
productive land.
- Priority employment for qualified persons of both genders during the
construction and operation of the Project.
- Skills training program for persons wishing to receive training on selected
fields. The training should be on (i) vocational courses; (ii) intensive
farming; (iii) animal husbandry; (iv) aquaculture; (v) managing small
business.
- For households who wish to venture into small businesses, the Project will
provide seminars on entrepreneurship (idea generation and visioning, basic
sales, marketing and finance management).
The aforementioned possible income restoration activities are generic in nature,
tentative and initial and, therefore, cannot be used as basis for detailed planning.
During the conduct of detailed measurement survey (DMS), the consultants will help
design and implement the income restoration program and will spearhead the
process of identifying the livelihood activities of each household by evaluating the
household’s specific needs against the household’s preferences, inclination and
preparedness, and by assessing the availability of external support needed by the
household to pursue its chosen livelihood activities. The consultants will investigate
and evaluate possible employment, credit facility and provider of training when
conducting needs and opportunities assessment for each participating eligible
household.
The singular objective of the income restoration program is to help the affected
households whose remaining land is not viable for use, rebuild their sources of
livelihood and thus regain, if not improve, their pre-project standards of living. In
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 78
addition to the principles governing the project resettlement policy, the income
restoration program will abide by the following precepts: be responsive to the
specific needs and attuned to the level of preparedness of the household; be
sustainable and geared towards self-determination and empowerment rather than
dependence; foster justice and fairness, camaraderie, social consciousness; and, be
gender sensitive and environmentally sound.
Moreover, depending on its needs, preferences, and available human and material
resources within the household and those that the project could provide, each
participating eligible household may engage in one main source of livelihood to be
augmented by secondary livelihood activities, especially when the main livelihood
does not yield immediate returns, such as livestock and crop production. Secondary
livelihood activities will help provide for the daily sustenance of the household in the
interim. A key ingredient of the program is to ensure that each DP household has the
means for daily sustenance. Planning and implementation of selected income
restoration plans will be based on extensive and well-documented consultation with
the affect people.
Information pamphlets for each program will be prepared by PMU 85 and will be
made available to households and in commune offices. Information will include but
not limited to the following:
- Production (farm and non-farm based)/Income-generating activities: type
of program, investment costs and net returns, time frame for income
stream to develop, sustainability, and risks.
- Project-related opportunities: type of workers needed, duration of
contract, minimum salary and benefits, schedule, basic
requirements/qualifications of workers, contact persons.
- Employment opportunities: name and address of organization, nature of
organization, number of required workers, basic requirements/
qualifications of workers; trainings to be provided; minimum salary and
benefits, contact persons,
- Skills Trainings: type of trainings, objectives, duration, cost to trainee,
qualification of trainee, type of certification to be issued upon completion
of training; links to jobs.
- Access to credit: type of loans; requirements to avail loan, term of
payments and interest rates, risks involved.
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 79
The consultants of PMU 85 will be composed of various experts to design, implement
and administer various programs. The process of planning appropriate income
restoration activities of eligible households begins about the same time as that of the
DMS. Data gathering and in-depth investigation of needs and opportunities will be
done in parallel with the DMS. The various income restoration activities planned and
agreed with the participating households will be included in the updated RAP
including the analysis of risk, marketing for the planed programs etc. The
implementation of the program will be monitored regularly to ensure that targets are
achieved and will be included in the resettlement progress report. An evaluation of
the income restoration program will be conducted to sum up what has been
achieved, to identify additional interventions, as needed; and to draw out lessons and
insights. The affected households participating to the programs, activities will be their
allowance as described above.
(d) The process for economic restoration during RAP implementation
The following activities and steps to help the affected households whose remaining
productive land is not economically viable will need to be done by PMU 85 and
DCSCC.
- Finalize the list of the affected DPs whose remaining productive land is not
economically viable in each commune, consult and finalize the choices of
DPs to the programs or for self-employment.
- Based on land acquisition schedule (linked to the construction works
required) design for different programs (objectives, list of trainees, agenda
of training, marketing, risk analysis, cot of the program or activity,
monitoring and evaluation). It is better to (i) implement the economic
restoration before acquire land for the project; (ii) pilot with some
selective programs first, then draw the lesion learned for the subsequent
programs; (iii) each program should be carefully design with the
participation of stakeholders and with details analysis on the potential
risks, marketing to make sure that they will be sustainable; and (iv) good
mechanism of monitoring and evaluation for the programs to draw the
lessons learned for the subsequent programs.
- Determine requirement of company; assess qualification of affected
households; assess trainings and certifications required in order for
households meet the requirements for employment;
- Assess manpower, qualified individuals to teach various programs.
Determine facilities and equipment available. Certification issued as an
additional credential Cost of training for trainers and trainees.
- Suitability of trainings to individuals; link for employment after training.
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 80
- Information dissemination needed to properly inform affected households
available trainings7, duration, fees, and importance of certificates issued
by training institutions.
- To determine: clear conditions and requirements in order for households
to avail loans; terms and interest rate vis-à-vis capacity of households to
re-pay; role of PMU 85 and DCSCC to facilitate/ assist households to avail
loans; fees to be incurred during loan processing; sustainability and risks
assessment to ensure that households do not end up in debt.
Information dissemination needed to properly inform affected households the
pros and cons of each program.
- Develop a mechanism and closely monitor the use compensation money
by DPs in order to help them avoid the risks and maximize the
effectiveness of investment from the compensation package. Specially
care to the vulnerable groups, DPs plan to manage employment
themselves through monitoring and evaluation system.
Implementation of livelihood restoration programs, including outcome of the
training, extension services etc. will be closely monitored by the project authorities as
well as by the external monitoring agency.
A post-implementation evaluation by the external monitoring agency would be
carried out six to 12 months after completion of resettlement implementation to
determine whether the objectives of the income rehabilitation and livelihood
restoration have been achieved. The project authorities will provide additional
resources for continued assistance to the DPs until they have restored their
livelihood at least to the pre-project levels.
7 7 It is noted that, one member of each household who is entitled to income rehabilitation assistance would be
included for any training programs and that at least 30% of the candidates thus selected will be women.

VIII.2. Consultation during RAP preparation.
From December 2008 to March 2009 and from December 2009 to January 2010,
many meetings with related institutions including the Provincial Departments, the
District People’s Committees, Leaders of affected communes, DCSCC, Farmer
Association, Vocational Training Centers, Agricultural Extension Centers and Banks or
Loan Management Institutions, Industrial Zone Management Boards were carried
out. The key objectives, principles of compensation and resettlements as well as all
additional assistance were brought to discuss in those meetings. The consultation for
the RAP preparation consists of two rounds:
a. The first round is for an Interim RAP
In December 2008, the PMU85 with the assistance of resettlement team held a
meeting with Hoa Vang district. The meeting introduced to local authorities and local
NGOs about:
(i). General information on the project
(ii). List of affected districts, communes and scale of land acquisition for the
project.
(iii). Objectives and Principles of RAP according to the requirements of GOV
and including WB’s policy on involuntary resettlement.
(iv). Schedules of socio-economic survey and IOL
(v). Livelihood restoration through RAP
(vi). Compensation and relocation modes (options to cash or in kind
compensation)
(vii). Gender issues in RAP; and
(viii). Mechanisms of participation, complaint, monitoring and evaluation
through all phases of RAP preparation and implementation. The
compensation and resettlement pamphlet for the first round of
consultation was prepared under the agreement of PMU85 and will be
disseminated to all participants in meetings.
The resettlement consultant proposed to discuss following issues:
(i). The area of remaining residential land which is needed to relocate
(consultant proposed the area of 40 m2 for the urban area and 100 m2
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 83
for the rural area).
(ii). Possibility of arranging “land for land” compensation in the district,
commune, especially agricultural land.
(iii). Potential risks if insufficient productive land for land compensation.
(iv). Preference of local people and local authorities on the modes of
resettlement (to the relocation sites or self-relocation).
(v). Compensation cost.
(vi). Potential of employment and economic restoration programs in the
localities.
(vii). Mechanisms of payment, complaint.
(viii). Gender and vulnerable group issues.
The meetings were held with Hoa Vang district are described as in table below.
Table VIII.1: Meetings in affected districts
No Meeting Time Venue Participants

03 Leaders of District PC
Responses from meetings were collected and analyzed, including:
The area of remaining residential land that is needed to relocate is 40 m2
for the urban area and 100 m2 for the rural area. Besides, the shape of the
remaining residential land is also considered. If the area is more than 40m2
in urban area and 100m2 in rural area, but the shape is not enough to build
a house, relocation would be applied. For the productive land, many
participants requested that if the remaining area is < 300m2 it would not
economically viable, the project has to acquire for a whole plot.
In term of possibility of “land for land” compensation model in the districts,
communes, especially agricultural land: All communes and the district
confirmed that there is no public agricultural land to compensate for
agricultural land. However, most of interviewees said that It would not be
difficult to buy land from the other households in the affected areas
provided that the price of land compensation is sufficient compared to high
price of land in the local market.
Concerns on compensation cost: Hoa Vang district said that the
compensation costs need to be based on prices at the market price,
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 84
especially the agricultural land. The compensation price should be surveyed
and evaluated by independent evaluators. Potential of employment and
economic restoration programs in the local areas: Participants in the
meetings requested for the assistance on loans for DPs to develop their
households economic, the vocational training and employment priorities in
project construction sites. Da Nang City has programs of training for people
who are impacted by land acquisition. Skills requirement including garment
industry, mechanics, electrician etc. It was advised by local authorities that,
the project should not pay cash for HHs to generate employment
themselves; it should be organized through the programs or activities to
make sure that allowance for economic restoration is used in a right
purpose and with a sustainable results.
Mechanisms of payment and complaint: All the participants to the
meetings suggested that the District Compensation, Site Clearance and
Resettlement Committee should make compensation payment though
Communal Leader and/or at the communal office. Besides, both husband
and wife in a household are required to be present at the payment time.
Gender and vulnerable group issues: Most of participants gave suggestions
that the project should pay a special attention in economic restoration to
the vulnerable groups (elderly, disable persons, poor families and female-
headed HH etc.).
Capacity and experiences of District Compensation, Site Clearance and
Resettlement Committee with national and international financed projects:
All districts confirmed that they have their district compensation, site
clearance and resettlement committees, which could implement for the
RAP of the project (they are experienced with DMS, compensation
calculation, payment arrangement etc.). However, they requested that
these Committees need capacity building, especially for implementing the
RAP according to WB’s requirements and programs of economic
restoration. The districts also need the working facilities for their
compensation committees to effectively implement for the project RAP.
b. Second round of consultation is a draft RAP and final RAP
The purpose of this round consultation is to:
- Disseminate to stakeholders (DPs, local authorities, local NGOs, Local vocational
Training Centers, Agricultural Extension Centers, Residential Site Developers, Building
Designers, Contractors etc), especially at the commune level the further detailed
information related to the project and planning for compensation and resettlement
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 85
(draft entitlement policy, effort in seeking replacement land for compensation,
potential of resettlement sites in each commune, DPs’ options to the economic
restoration programs and local capacity and experience in implementing the
livelihood restoration, possibility of employment in the industrial zones and to the
relocation modes etc).
- Get the feedbacks from stakeholders for preparing a draft and final RAP.
From September to early November 2009, the second round of consultation was
carried out. In this period, stakeholders, tools and the contents of consultation are as
follows:
(i) Prepared and disseminated to all affected HHs and affected communes a
pamphlet of compensation and resettlement for the second round of
consultation and participation. This pamphlet included (a) project
background, (b) summary on the key contents related to RAP (objectives
and principles, legal framework, entitlement policy, land acquisition
impact, economic restoration programs, resettlement arrangements,
implementation arrangement, mechanisms of DMS, approvals on land
recovery and compensation plan for each HH, payment, complaint,
supervision and monitoring, implementation schedule). This pamphlet was
prepared by resettlement consultant team, which had sent to WB to
review and agreed by PMU85.
(ii) Held meetings (03 meetings in 03 communes) with all affected households
and representative of affected communes. Meetings and interviews were
also held with senior staffs of relevant departments (DONRE, DOF, DOC,
DOLISA etc) of Da Nang and local NGOs, affected district to consult about
the status of land use map (cadastral map), process of DMS, steps of
information disclosure and approvals for land recovery, potential of
resettlement sites or residential areas in each commune, compensation
plans, potential of resettlement sites, feasible economic restoration
programs/activities, possibility of employment in the project localities,
vulnerable groups and gender issues as well as mechanisms grievance and
payment compensation to DPs. The separate discussion by different groups
were held after a general session such as groups of affected women, group
of poor families etc; feedbacks from stakeholders on the entitlement
policy, economic restoration programs for the DPs affected by loss of
productive land, assistance to relocation, to the vulnerable groups, needs
for building capacity in implementing RAP and implementation
arrangements (responsibilities, schedules etc.,) were obtained.
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 86
Main feedback from the meetings of the second round consultation is summarized as
follows:
Most of participants supported for a draft of compensation and
resettlement policy developed for the project.
Leaders of communes confirmed that there are no ethnic minorities in the
project area. About the potential of the sites for relocating people,
participants said that there is no sites are planned in the commune. Seven
households said that they have residential land outside of the project area
and confirmed that they would not have any difficulty in self-relocation.
People also suggested that local authorities should consider letting the
households who are fully affected on residential land to convert some areas
of their other land to residential land in order to reduce the need for the
resettlement site development in the locality. Participants request that if
the relocation site would be constructed for the relocating households, it
must be developed with good quality of physical infrastructure and social
services.
Among 114 affected people were interviewed, 80% preferred to the
livelihood restoration programme, paricitpation in vocational training,
invest to the education for their children, participate to the agricultural
extension programs etc. About 30% of participants at the meetings
requested for the help on seeking the jobs after the training and help them
accessing to loans. Most of participants appreciated on the policy and
request the project to pay attention to the vulnerable groups. About
receiving compensation payment, participants proposed that, both
husband and wife should be present to receive compensation and sign for
the receipt of payment.

IX.2. Implementation arrangements
(1). Reinforcement of District Compensation and Site Clearance Committees
(DCSCC) and commune working groups
The DCSCC in all affected districts were established to implement for all
compensation and resettlement works of all projects in each district. Therefore, to
smoothly implement for this project, all DCSCC need for (i) reinforcement of staff; (ii)
capacity building (especially the capacity building on the project policy, the
implementation of livelihood restoration and assistance to the vulnerable groups as
well as data base management and internal monitoring; and (iii) adequate facilitated
with working facility. The PC of Da Nang City and PMU 85 under MOT will do this task.
Most of DCSCC in Viet Nam are mainly experienced with compensation of the
national policy, but they lack or have very little experience in implementing the social
safeguards as required by the international standard. The areas which most of Project
Management Units and DCSCC are weak are internal monitoring and livelihood
restoration. To effectively plan and implement livelihood restoration activities and
monitor the progress of RAP implementation, recruitment of adequate and qualified
staff for PMU 85 and DCSCC is required. To implement RAP smoothly, in each
commune, an working team will be established (this team will be composed of land
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 94
management official, deputy Chairman of Commune, representative of women,
farther front, villages etc) to cooperate with DCSCC in RAP implementation.
(2) Operation manual and Capacity building
To implement RAP smoothly, the manual on the RAP operation would be prepared
by the Da Nang City and by the safeguard consultant of PMU 85 with support from
key Departments including district and commune authorities. The manual will clearly
state the principles, objectives of RAP and steps, methodologies used for each
specific task, forms for DMS, Compensation Plan, minutes of settling the complaint
and process/ Step of RAP implementation in general and steps for each specific task
(such as information dissemination, dossiers for approvals of land recovery,
compensation plan, compensation payment, plot allocation, settlement of complain
etc.)
In Vietnam, the implementation of livelihood restoration programs are constrained
due to (i) Weak implementation capacity of the Project Management Unit, DCSCC and
local authorities; (ii) experience of Implementing agencies is limited to compensation
and relocation arrangement; (iii) Lack of involvement of the relevant institutions to
the different aspects of RAP implementation, especially in the livelihood restoration.
Therefore, adequate institutional arrangement and capacity building are very critical.
The human resource at PMU 85, its consultant team and at DCSCC need to be
adequate and qualified for the different positions of tasks, especially the specialists
who are with international and national experience with land acquisition issues.
Capacity building will include of workshops, training and the areas should be focused
are (i) Objective, Principle of RAP and Entitlement policy, (ii) Resettlement
arrangements; (iii) Economic restoration activities and schedule, (iv) Institutional
arrangements, (v) Mechanisms, requirements of monitoring and evaluation,
complaint; and (vi) Conditions of disbursement the fund from the Project for
compensation and resettlement, especially according to the WB requirements on the
procurement and disbursement.
(3) Information campaign
At the beginning of Compensation and Resettlement implementation, meetings will
be held with and information dissemination to stakeholders to introduce, inform all
of them about the policy, implementation process (e.g., mechanisms of DMS, land
recovery, participation and consultation, publicize for the approvals, complaint,
monitoring etc). These are required as the policies of WB and Decrees 197/2004;
84/2007 and 69/2009 of GoV. This task will be done by PMU 85, DCSCC and
commune authorities.
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 95
(4) Consultation and Disclosure
Consultations will be conducted with stakeholders, especially with DPs and
particularly with the vulnerable households. All consultation and disclosure activities
will be properly documented. All minutes of meetings, photos, attendance sheets will
be prepared and recorded. Disclosure of the updated RAP to DPs will be carried out
prior to its submission to WB for review and approval.
The DCSCC will disclose at the Project and Resettlement information kiosks/centers
of districts/communes: (i) draft updated RAP prior to submission for review and
approval by WB; (ii) final updated RAP approved by C/PPC and WB, and (iii) any
revisions to the updated RAP as a result of changes in scope or design layout.
Key information in the updated RAP to be disclosed to the affected households
through the Public Information Booklet, Newspapers, radio/television, and meetings
with affected households, will include (i) compensation, relocation and rehabilitation
options, (ii) DMS results, (iii) detailed asset valuations, (iv) entitlements and special
provisions, (v) grievance procedures, (vi) timing of payments, and (vii) displacement
schedule. The information will be made publicly available in Project and commune
offices and provided to the affected households in the form of a summary RAP, an
information leaflet or brochure.
Monitoring of resettlement implementation reports will also be made available to
affected households and will be uploaded on WB website. In the period of RAP
implementation, information disclose according the requirements in the Decrees
197/2004, 84/2007 and 69/2009 (such as final cadastral map, of draft and final site
planning, draft and approved compensation plans for DPs, all decisions and approvals
related to compensation and resettlement etc) must be followed. It is good practice
that the project and resettlement information kiosks/centers should be set up at the
offices of DCSCC and affected communes and the updated information will be posted
there. It is also a good practice that DCSCC should prepare a Frequent Asked and
Answered Questions (question raised by DPs and answer to them by DCSCC). If this
are well organized, it would minimize the potential of complaint from DPs.
(5) Cadastral maps and land recovery approval
The PMU 85 and DCSCCs to put the benchmarks on the ground for the footprint of
the project affected area and update the cadastral maps for the affected areas of
each commune, get them reviewed and approved by DONRE of Da Nang City. Prepare
dossier to apply for the approval of land recovery (project EIA and cadastral maps).
This dossier will be submitted to DONRE for its review and then to the PPC for its
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 96
approval. The PPC will approve on land recovery for the project in general and then
the District PCs will issue their decisions on land recovery to each individual
household. The cadastral maps and list of affected DPs will be prepared by DCSCC and
posted at each affected commune office.
(6). Mobilization of Consultants, Independent Valuation Agency and External
Monitoring Agency
Consultants will be mobilized as soon as the loan agreement between WB and GoV is
signed. Independent valuation agency on values of land and other affected properties
will also be recruited by PMU 85 to update the Replacement Cost Study (RCS), get it
reviewed, agreed by PMU 85 and then reviewed, approved by provincial authorities
of Da Nang City. This task will be carried out in parallel with the DMS. The external
monitoring agency will be selected prior to commencement of DMS activities. The
external monitoring activities will begin as soon as the DMS and entitlements are
finalized based on the rates established by the RCS and approved by the PPC. The
Terms of References (TORs) for the replacement cost study and External monitoring
will be prepared by PMU 85. Consultants for these services should not by any
company or agency, which established or under the management of the Government
authorities.
(7). Conduct of Detailed Measurement Survey
The conduct of the updated Census and Detailed Measurement Survey (DMS) will be
done after the approval of the Da Nang City on land recovery for the project. The
DMS will be done by DCSCCs following final design and staking of the road alignment.
The procedures for the DMS are similar to those for the IOL; i.e., detailed recording of
all land and non-land assets. The DMS form should be similar to the IOL from used
for this RAP in order to cover all information needed to determine all types of
impacts for the entitlement of DPs. It should be noted that at the time of DMS
activities, all DPs are required to submit copies of LURCs or any legal papers to assist
DCSCC in the preparation of the Compensation Plan. All DMS forms are reviewed and
signed by DPs as well as relevant parties involved to these activities are required by
the laws (e.g., Representatives of commune, DCSCC and Surveyor etc.). The DMS
form then need stamped by commune authorities and DCSCC, one copy of DMS will
be kept by the affected household. In case of any disagreement on the DMS, the DPs
will not sign the DMS forms until the issues are resolved following the grievance
redress process.
A new socio-economic survey will be carried out if RAP updating does not commence
within two years as demographic and socio-economic factors may change
significantly. It will at least cover 20% of DPs affected by loss of productive land and
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 97
at least 10% of other DPs. However, information on socioeconomic characteristics for
which the households would be entitled to assistance such as: tenure status,
household incomes (to determine poverty status), other vulnerability characteristics;
would be collected for all the affected households. Further, particular attention
would be paid to document all registered and un-registered business losses including
those of business establishments and industries.
The DMS would also pay particular attention to the ownership status or claims on the
land within the ROW and conduct extensive consultations with the DPs to reach
consensus on the claims and any entitlements that may emerge from such
consultations.
(8) Establishment of GRCs
The Grievance Redress Committee8 (called GRC) at 03 levels (commune/district and
provincial level) will be established at the time of the project announcement publicly.
At each level, the committee members will include 5-7 representatives from: PMU,
CRC (1-2 persons at each 03 level), mass organization/civil society/CBOs/NGOs (1-2
persons), Lawyer Union/associations, and DP representatives. GRCs will be
established by representative PPCs as soon as the RAP is approved by Government of
Vietnam.
(9). Compensation, Resettlement and Assistance Plan
Together with the result of the Replacement Cost Study as reviewed and approved by
the PPC, DMS form will be the used as the basis for preparing the Compensation,
Resettlement and Assistance Plan for each affected household. The Compensation,
Resettlement and Assistance Plan for each affected household will be prepared by
DCSCC, reviewed by DOF and then approved by Quang Nam PPC or by its delegated
authorities . The official list of DPs, their losses, and corresponding payments
(compensation and allowances, incentive etc.,) will be disclosed to the affected
people and post at the affected commune offices for affected DPs to check and give
feedback to DCSCC (as required in the Decrees 197/2004 and 84/2007). Then
Compensation, Resettlement and Assistance Plans will be submitted to DOFs for their
review and to the PPC for the approval. Any disagreement on Compensation,
Resettlement and Assistance Plan will not be signed by DP until it is resolved
following the grievance redress process.
8 The Committee will be established separatedly with District Resetlement Committees
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 98
(10) Planning for Relocation and Resettlement Site Development
The VEC, or PMU 85 together with Quang Nam province will responsible for planning
relocation and resettlement site. The resettlement site will be located close to the
project boundary and acceptable to the DPs.
(11) Planning for Income Rehabilitation Assistance
The income rehabilitation assistance programme will be prepared for DPs affected by
loss of productive land or relocated DPs, the income rehabilitation assistance might
be, includes credit loan, vocational training, job creation...
The Income Rehabilitation Assistance/Training will be delivered during the
implementation of compensation to DPs, until the DPs have restored their livelihood
to pre-project levels.
(12). Compensation payment
The Approved Decision on the Compensation, Resettlement and Assistance Plans will
be posted at the commune offices to inform DPs and commune authorities. Each
household would be provided with a Summary Compensation Form showing the
summary of affected assets, compensation rates used to determine compensation,
and entitlements for allowances and other assistance. All households with the
approved plans will invited by DCSCC to receive their entitlement in cash. Payment
will need the presence of both husband and wife and with their identity cards. The
payment will be done by DCSCC or through local Bank with the supervision of
commune authorities.
(13) Resettlement Site Development and Relocation of DPs
The resettlement sites will be available 6 months (or at least 3 months) prior to the
project construction. Any relocated DPs, who are not assigned to land plot at the time
of the project construction will be entitled to get rental housing assistance for their
period of temporary residence.
(14) Preparation of Resettlement Completion Report
An EMA will be hired by the project owner and an Resettlement Completion Report
will be prepared when the compensation to DPs and construction completed. The
Resettlement Completion Report will provide in detail the category and scale of
impacts with the number of DPs in each category, detailed cost of compensation and
other components with the quantities/number of affected assets and number of DPs
for each type of resettlement cost component, compensation rates and total cost.
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 99
The Resettlement Completion Report will also provide comparative details on the
compensation rates established by the province and determined based on the
Replacement Cost Study and consultation with the DPs to ensure that the final rates
for assessment of compensation reflect prevalent market rates.
In case the review by the Bank identify any gaps in compliance of the policy and
entitlements specified in the RAP, additional assistance to the DPs would be
provided, as necessary.
IX.3. RAP implementation schedule
An implementation schedule for RAP is linked to the project physical works schedule.
It needs to be prepared in details by each DCSCC and the social safeguard team of
PMU 85 for quarterly or semi-annual plans. The main tasks and time respectively are
planed as table below.
Since planning and development of resettlement sites and income restoration
measures require coordination between several agencies and often a slow and long-
term process, these activities will be initiated as soon as the approval for the final
RAP is obtained and its implementation begins.

X. MONITORING AND EVALUATION
X.1. Internal monitoring
The Land Acquisition and Resettlement Unit under PMU 85 will serve as the Project’s
internal monitoring body. As such, the PMU 85 will maintain a file of all data gathered
in the field, including a data base on the affected households. The PMU 85 in turn will
include updates on resettlement in its regular progress reports to MOT and WB.
Social monitoring reports will be made available to the affected households and will
be submitted to WB for its review and concurrence. Internal monitoring and
supervision will have the following objectives:
(a) Compensation and other entitlements are computed at rates and
procedures as provided in the approved RAP, with no discrimination
according to gender, vulnerability, or any other factor;
(b) Affected households are paid their compensation and other
entitlements as per approved updated RAP, ensuring that all
entitlements are delivered as planned and agreed, including
compensation in cash or in kind, allowances, replacement land,
resettlement sites developed and people moved onto them; Grating of
LURC to relocating HH at the resettlement sites.
(c) Income restoration programs designed and delivered including
modifications in the programs and provision of additional cash and in-
kind assistance to the participating affected households as and when
necessary;
(d) Public information, public consultation and grievance redress
procedures are followed as described in the approved RAP;
(e) Affected public facilities and infrastructure are restored promptly; and
(f) The transition between resettlement and commencement of civil works
is smooth and that sites are not handed over for civil works until
affected households have been satisfactorily compensated and
resettled.
X.2. External Monitoring
The main objective of external monitoring is to provide an independent periodic
review and assessment of (i) achievement of resettlement objectives; (ii) changes in
living standards and livelihoods; (iii) restoration of the economic and social base of
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 103
the affected people; (iv) effectiveness and sustainability of entitlements; and (v) the
need for further mitigation measures.
Strategic lessons for future policy formulation and planning will also be drawn from
the monitoring and evaluation of resettlement. This is possible through a Post-
Resettlement Implementation Evaluation Study that will be carried out carry out 6-12
months following completion of all resettlement activities.
The external monitoring agency (EMA) will be recruited prior to RAP implementation
activities. Relative to compliance monitoring during resettlement implementation,
the main activities of the EMA will revolve around the following:
(a) Review implementation capacity of DCSCC, existing baseline data and
gather additional socio-economic information, as necessary, on sample
affected households;
(b) Monitor updating and implementation of the RAP;

- Grievance redress mechanism (documentation, process, resolution);
- Monitor the types and level of assistance provided by project
authorities to the DPs who wish to purchase replacement private
agricultural land;
- Effectiveness, impact and sustainability of entitlements and income
restoration programs and the need for further improvement and
mitigation measures, if the objectives of the project are not fully
achieved. Identify DPs who have not been able to restore their income
levels and in need for continued assistance.
- Relocation site development (housing and market) from identification
of sites in consultation with DPs, to resettlement site development and
relocation of DPs. Land title issues and process of land title granting.
- Capacity of DPs to restore/re-establish livelihoods and living standards.
Special attention will be given to DPs affected by loss of productive
land and vulnerable DPs;
- Resettlement impacts caused during construction activities.
- Participation of DPs in RAP updating and implementation
The methods to be employed by the EMA in its monitoring work are
summarized here under:
(a) Review of detailed measurement survey documents to be able to establish
a baseline for monitoring and evaluating project benefits. The EMA to
check on a random basis the DMS process with DPs from identification to
agreement on DMS results. During the conduct of the DMS, the EMA will
also monitor the DMS process to determine and assess if DMS activities are
being carried out in a participatory and transparent manner.
(b) Review of Socio-economic Survey (SES) baseline. If land acquisition does
not occur for at least two years, EMA will carry out another SES. A post
resettlement survey will be carried out one year following completion of
resettlement activities. Sampling will include 20% of DPs affected by loss of
productive land as well as at least 10% of all other DPs. The same DPs
interviewed during RAP updating will be interviewed. Special attention will
be paid to the inclusion of women, the very poor, the landless and other
vulnerable groups, with set questions for women and other target groups;
and, the database disaggregates information by gender, vulnerability and
ethnicity
(c) Participatory Rapid Appraisal (PRA), which will involve obtaining

information, identifying existing or potential problems, and finding specific
time-bound solutions through participatory means including: a) key
informant interviews; b) focus group discussions on specific topics such as
compensation payment, income restoration and relocation; c) community
public meetings to discuss community losses, integration of resettled
households in host communities or construction work employment; d)
direct field observations, for example, of resettlement site development; e)
formal and informal interviews with affected households, women, ethnic
minority, and other vulnerable groups to monitor and asses the progress
the DPs are making to restore their living standards; and, f) in-depth case
studies of problems are identified by internal or external monitoring and
required special efforts to resolve. The PRA will also focus on good practice.
(d) Resettlement audit will be conducted during the monitoring period. The
EMA will be present at the time of disbursement of payments to DPs during
monitoring. The EMA report will include resettlement audit per monitoring
period.
(e) The Terms of Reference for External Monitoring will be prepared by PMU
85 and get it agreed by WB before inviting for external monitoring for RAP.
(f) The EMA will prepare monitoring reports every three (3) months up
through the period when DPs receive compensation and remove from
acquired land. The EMA will also conduct a post-resettlement evaluation
twelve (12) months after compensation and relocation are completed. All
EMA reports will be submitted to PMU 85 with a copy submitted to the
WB and to the VEC directly.

XI. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM
A well-defined grievance redress and resolution mechanism will be established to
address DP grievances and complaints regarding land acquisition, compensation and
resettlement in a timely and satisfactory manner. All DPs will be made fully aware of
their rights, and the detailed procedures for filing grievances and an appeal process
will be publicized through an effective public information campaign. The grievance
redress mechanism and appeal procedures will also be explained in the Project
Information Booklet (PIB) that will be distributed to all DPs The PIB will be prepared
and distributed to all affected communities during the meetings.
For the purposes of grievance redress and resolution, A Grievance Redress
Committees at province, district level and commune levels will be established. These
Grievance Redress Committees will draw its members from PMU85, DRC/CRC,
lawyers association, women’s association and other CBOs and NGOs, and
representatives of the DPs.
At each level, the committee members will include 5-7 representatives from: PMU,
CRC (1-2 persons at each 03 level), mass organization/civil society/CBOs/NGOs (1-2
persons), Lawyer Union/associations, and DP representatives , which is a positive
way to resolve issues that concern DPs. Participation of civil society members and
DPs representatives would ensure that the GRCs function without any coercion,
remain independent, and discuss all the issues and complaints, and take decisions in
an objective and transparent manner.
The commune officials, in coordination with the PMU85 staff, will make all attempts
to settle DP issues at the commune level through community consultation. However,
where DPs are still dis-satisfied with the outcome of these attempts and have
outstanding complaints and grievances would be encouraged to submit their
complaints to the commune level GRC.
DPs are entitled to lodge complaints regarding any aspect of the land acquisition and
resettlement requirements such as, entitlements, rates and payment and procedures
for resettlement and income restoration programs. DP complaints can be made
verbally or in written form. In the case of verbal complaints, the committee hearing
the complaint will be responsible to make a written record during the first meeting
with the DP. DPs will be exempt from or PMU 85 will pay for all administrative and
legal fees incurred in the resolution of grievances and complaints.
All meetings will be recorded by the members of the GRC at the respective commune
and district level resettlement committees and copies will be provided to DPs. Copies
of minutes of meetings will be provided to PMU 85 and WB upon request.
A four-stage procedure for redress of grievances is proposed:
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 107
If it is impossible to solve their complaints at the commune or ward level, DPs can
take the following steps:
Procedures and Steps to Resolve Complaints: Resolving complaints related to the
RAP, including determining the area and value of affected assets will be conducted as
follows:
Step 1. Persons who are unsatisfied with any issues in the program of economic
recovery and resettlement can report verbally or in writing to their Ward/Communal
GRC that will be responsible for resolving their complaint in writing within 15 days.
Step 2. Persons who are unsatisfied with the decisions of the ward/communal level
in Step 1 can appeal to the District GRC within 15 days of the date of the decision in
Step 1. The District GRC will be responsible for resolving the complaint within 15
days.
Step 3. If they are unsatisfied with the decisions at the district level, DPs may appeal
to the Quang Nam province GRC within 15 days of the decision in step 2. The
Province GRC will give their decision on the complaint within 15 days.
Step 4. If the DPs are unsatisfied with the decision at the province level, they may
present their petition to their district court for a decision within 15 days of the
decision by the GRC at the city level.
Persons filing a complaint will not be charged administration or complaint fees.
The external monitoring agency will be responsible for checking the procedures for
and resolutions of grievances and complaints. The said EMA may recommend further
measures to be taken to redress unresolved grievances.

XII. COST AND BUDGET
XII.1. Compensation Prices
The cost estimate for compensation of land, affected assets and rehabilitation,
resettlement FOR Da Nang section is based on the followings:
The cost estimates for compensation of land, affected assets and rehabilitation,
allowance and resettlement implementation of the RAP for Da Nang section are
based on the Decision 36/2009/QD-UBND, 24 December 2009, issued by Da Nang
City on Compensation and Resettlement Assistance Policies and Decision
35/2009/QD-UBND dated 24 December 2009 on land prices in Da Nang City. The
prices will be updated following the latest Decision issued by Da Nang City to reflect
the annual updating of prices as required by Decree 197/2004/ND-CP at the time of
implementation.
The VEC will contract an independent land price appraisers licensed by the
Department of Finance to cary out Replacement Cost Study (RCS) for all the affected
assets based on the prevalent market prices. The findings of the RCS will be submitted
to the PPC for comparison and revisions, where necessary to ensure that the final
rates reflect market prices and that all assets are compensated at the replacement
cost.
Currently, compensation rates of houses are determined by government on yearly
basis based on market value of different class of houses. The rates thus established for
each class are applicable to all houses in that class and cover the most expensive type
of houses. The RCS will cover a randomly selected sample of houses in each class to
show that the same price indeed applies to the houses/structures in the same class
and that the compensation rates were determined based on the maximum market
price.
According to results of preliminary replacement cost assessment the compensation
prices issued by the Da Nang Province PC for movable assets are generally
reflecting replacement costs of affected houses and secondary structures as well as
of attached crops and trees. It is worth noting that the practice of resettlement
implementation in Vietnam shows that, in case of reasonable fluctuation of unit
construction costs, the local PCs used to update them accordingly. The New Land
Law 2003, especially the recent Decree 17/2006/CP has provided legal base for
land compensation reflecting market prices. According to the Land Law 2003,
Provincial or City PCs’ issued prices of land have to be updated annually and be
publicly announced on the 1st of January every year.
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Page 109
The cost for the allowances, resettlement assistance and economic restoration
includes of the items which were described in item III.3.10 of Chapter III above,
subsidized cost to the resettlement site development was described as in item VII.3
of Chapter VII.
Administration and management cost of 2% of resettlement cost is included in total
cost of resettlement. This is in addition to the contingency of 10 % to cover for any
unforeseeable cost incurred in detail implementation.
Monitoring cost: The PMU85 also is responsible for contracting with an or some
external organizations, specialized on social sciences or anthropology to carry out the
independent monitoring of the subproject’s resettlement implementation. Because
the cost of monitoring work has not yet detailed norms set by the Government, it is
estimated that it needs for at about 1.0% of the total compensation base cost. An or
some interested independent monitoring institutions will prepare the technical and
financial proposals for bidding and actual cost will be decided through procurement
for independent monitoring.
Contingency cost: It is learned from the implemented projects and from the
conservative side; the rate for contingency should be at about 10% of total cost of
compensation and RAP preparation.
Before RAP implementation, the survey on the replacement cost will be done by
consultant and then propose the unit compensation costs at the replacement values
to the PPC of Da Nang for its review and approval. Final rates established by the
province would be compared with the rates obtained through the Replacement Cost
Study and, in case of significant differences, updates as necessary. The final rates
thus determined and approved will be applied to the compensation plan to the
affected DPs.
XII.2. Cost estimate
The summarized total resettlement cost for the Da Nang section is estimated based
on the compensation rats established by the province. These are estimated to be
132,596,079,050 VND, as presented in Table XII.1 below. The details of estimated cost
are presented in Annex E.

TERMS OF REFERENCE (T.O.R.)
OF
EXTERNAL MONITORING SERVICE FOR RAP IMPLEMENTATION
(DA NANG – QUANG NGAI EXPRESSWAY PROJECT)
I. BACKGROUND
- The Da Nang - Quang Ngai Expressway Construction Project (the DQEP) is one
of the important transport infrastructure projects approved by the Viet Nam
Government’s Decision 412/QD-TTg of April 11, 2007. The Prime Minister’s
letter No. 1734/QD-TTG of December 1, 2008 gave high priority to early
completing this project.
- The technical design of Project has been completed with basic works including
the construction and operation of a road section which goes through one city
and two provinces in the central of Vietnam including Da Nang City, Quang
Nam and Quang Ngai provinces. It is the one component of the national North-
South trunk Expressway.
II. EXTERNAL MONITORING
II.1. Objectives
Broad objectives of monitoring include the following:
a. To provide the Bank with an objective feedback on the implementation of the
resettlement policy.
b. To provide project management with an effective tool for assessing
‘Resettlement and Rehabilitation Plan ‘ implementation at various stages and
to identify problem areas and recommend remedial measures for efficient
implementation of the policy.
c. To assess the effectiveness of the social policy and whether its objectives have
been achieved.
II.2. Monitoring Targets and Functions
The monitoring targets and functions will include the following:
- Review the existing baseline and data gather additional socio-economic
baseline data, if necessary, on sample families that are severally affected by
the project and are entitled to receive compensation for all of their lost assets
or for resettlement and rehabilitation;
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Annex F Page 35
- Monitor implementation of the compensation policy and public information
campaign;
- Identify and discrepancy between the policy requirements and actual practice,
as well as any local level grievances;
- Provide recommendations for improving implementation of its policy.
II.3. Methodology
Monitoring methodology will consist of the following:
a. Random review of DMS forms for correct inventory of assets and entitlements.
This review should sample about 30% of all the DMS forms
b. Random review of entitlement and compensation documents to ensure that
the assessment of compensation is based on “replacement cost” and is in full
compliance with policy’s requirements. This review shall cover 30% of all DPs,
selected through stratified random sampling method.
c. Random site visits, coordinated with the implementation activities are taking
place, to ascertain that compensation has been duly paid prior to the start up
of construction works under the projects; compensation is assessed based on
the principle of replacement cost and grievances, if any, are solved to the
satisfaction of the DPs. This activity should cover at least 20% of all DPs each
year. For these purposes monitoring of the following aspects will be required:
- Inventory of affected assets;
- Assessment of compensation for all types of affected assets based on
replacement cost;
- Compensation is paid prior to initiation of works.
d. Special studies aimed to ascertain adequacy of compensation paid for land
acquisition and/or other fixed assets, against current market prices.
e. Random field visits at least once every 3 months, covering at least 30% of the
DPs to check the following:
(i) Whether PMU85 has informed them of individual entitlements and
compensation amounts due to them and whether they have received
compensation entitlement forms;
(ii) To ascertain that affected people are adequately informed of project
objectives, its impacts, compensation policy and entitlements through an
effective public information campaign; and
(iii) To assess if grievance procedures are adequately explained to the affected
people and implemented.
Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway Project
Resettlement Plan – Da Nang Section January 2011
Annex F Page 36
Sample
To verify the quantitative aspects of implementation, sample surveys of various types
of impacts should be conducted. A stratified sample should cover target groups for
each category, such as land owners, affected house owners, tenants or workers;
those affected by the loss of land, structures, incomes; and those need to be
reorganized and relocated. While making quantitative assessments of land
acquisition activities all the provinces and districts should be covered. Particular
attention should be paid to adequately cover all the towns effected by the project.
Data Collection Methods
Data and information will be gathered through:
Questionnaires, to be personally administered.
Direct interviews with affected households
Specific focus group interviews aimed at identifying the specific problem issues
related to groups such as self-employed persons with businesses, farmers and
workers affected by loss of job, tenants affected by loss of place of residence,
women heads of households, etc.
Community meetings to discuss problem issues and identify solutions
Project staff in the field
Data Analysis
Data and information collected will be analyzed by project, affected area,
resettlement sites, levels of compensation, type of impact, type of impact, etc.
Data Base Storage
The Monitoring Team will maintain a data base of resettlement monitoring
information that will be updated every three months. It will contain certain files on
each affected household and will be updated based on information collected in
successive rounds of data collection. All data bases compiled will be fully accessible to
the project authorities.
