Definition of Working Terms for RP

This Resettlement Plan is formulated on the basis of the laws, regulations and policies of the People’s Republic of China, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Nanning city as well as the ADB’s policy on involuntary resettlement. The target is, through the action plans for resettlement and restoration, to benefit the affected people, improve their living standards and, at least to restore their production and livelihood after project implementation.

Project Areas. Project areas refer to places where the project is located, normally

referring to the administrative areas at or under the county level (city, county and town). The project areas of this Project cover Yongxin District and Nanning New & High-tech Industrial Development Zone of Nanning City, including Xinxu Town, Shibu Town and Shangyao Subdistrict Office.

Affected People. Affected people (APs) refer to the group of people, due to the

project construction, (1) whose living standards are adversely affected or, (2) whose houses, land (including the house land, farmland and grassland of their ownership and titles, as well as their various types of movable and immovable properties are temporarily or permanently acquired and occupied, or (3) whose production, operation, working and living are adversely affected. “Affected People” refer to the individuals who conform to the definition of the “Affected Population”.

APs may refer to natural persons or legal persons (for example a company or a public institution etc.).

Identification of the APs shall not be confined to those who conduct productive activities or reside in the affected areas being with or without legal registration and approval, nor be confined to those who do have or do not have the ownership of these properties. Therefore, APs shall include:

(1) People who are affected by the project construction, regardless of the legal ownership of the properties that are acquired by the project.

(2) People who live in the affected areas even without being approved. Therefore, all these people shall be considered and registered as the APs, regardless

of their legal status of the properties, land and location. Restoration. Restoration refers to the recovery of the resources capacities of the

APs, enabling them to continue their productive activities at the levels that are higher than or at least not less than those they had when the project was not constructed and, at least restore to or be higher than their previous living standards.

Replacement. Replacement refers to making necessary arrangement for the APs

for production and living, enabling them to restore to the previous productive and living standards and be benefited from the project construction. Mainly including:

(1) To arrange the living areas; (2) To provide with suitable employment for the APs who have lost their jobs or

seriously affected by the project; (3) To restore or compensate the productive resources that are affected by the project

III

construction, such as land, working site, trees and infrastructure; (4) To restore the living standards (quality) for the APs who are adversely affected by

the project construction through land acquisition, indirect resettlement effects or other negative impacts;

(5) To restore or compensate the private or public-own enterprises that are affected by the project, and.

(6) To eliminate the negative effects on the cultural facilities and communal properties. Methods for Resettlement:

(1) Monetary resettlement. This is to make compensation to villagers who will dispose the money at their will in restoring production and living. Monetary compensation accompanied by suitable resettlement shall be made for the losses of business investment and equipment incurred to the floating population.

(2) Compensation in-kind. This refers to the subsidies in kind. Normally, the demolition unit shall construct comprehensive commercial and residential buildings for the purpose of resettlement; or provide with commercial and industrial buildings for the rural collective economic organizations to manage.

(3) Resettlement with reserved land. This is also called to reserve industrial land. It serves as a complementation to the monetary compensation. Subject to the requirement of planning, some lands shall be reserved preferentially for rural collective organizations of which lands have been requisitioned for the purpose of development operation. The reserved land shall enable the rural collective organizations and households to gain stable benefits through legal operation. There are three types of reserved lands for resettlement: reserved state-owned land; reserved collectively-own land; reserved construction land use quota. Normally, as for these three types of reserved land resettlement, the proportion of the reserved land shall not be over 20% of the total lands that have been requisitioned by the project.

(4) Re-employment resettlement for the rural people who have lost their land. The land-using units shall employ the labors; the labor administrative department shall make general arrangement; the rural people who have lost their lands are encouraged to make self-employment.

(5) Resettlement through equity participation. The land acquisition compensation shall be concentrated as the business investment, and on annual basis, the rural people shall share the profits. The actual process in this connection shall be: the land acquisition and resettlement compensation shall be concentrated by the rural economic organization for special investment, such as construction of standard factory buildings and stores for leasing. The villagers group shall share the profits on regular basis each year according to respective areas of land that have been requisitioned. The shares shall be further distributed to the individual villagers. Or, the compensation shall be divided into shares and further quantified to individuals; the funds shall be operated by the rural economic organization. In this case, the annual profits shall be distributed according to the percentages of shares.

(6) Social security resettlement. This is to ensure the social insurance premium in-place, i.e. making a 15-year lump-sum payment of the social insurance premium (endowment insurance, unemployment insurance and medical insurance) and a one-off payment of living subsidies.

IV

Vulnerable groups. Vulnerable groups refer to the solitary elderly, the disabled,

households headed by women, poverty-stricken families and ethnic minorities other than Zhuang. Identification of these vulnerable groups who might require special assistance is an important issue in the resettlement.

(1) Poverty population. Poverty-stricken population refers to those who are below China’s poverty line, including the relative poverty-stricken population and absolute poverty-stricken population. According to the poverty identification standard of Nanning City, people with annual average income of lower than RMB650.00 (current year price) are classified as absolute poverty population, while those with annual average income between RMB650-RMB882 are classified as relative poverty population.

(2) Households headed by women. Refer to the families that are without dependence on male while headed by women. In these households, the wives may have been widowed or divorced or, whose husbands are disabled and lost their labor capacities; accordingly, all production and living of the whole households are headed by the women.

3) The solitary elderly people. Refer to the old people of above 70 years old who are living separately, such as those aged separated from their children; or the adults who are working and living in fields, such as the guards in orchards and forest etc.

(4) The disabled. Refer to those who are psychologically, physically and body abnormal. Due to the loss of some body functions, they have totally or partially lost their capacities in engaging in some activities. The livelihoods for the disable people are very difficult. They cannot take care of themselves and shall be the special groups needed to focus on.

This report shall define the population that have separated from their households for

over half a year as the floating population, i.e. the population coming from other places other than Nanning city who have resided in the project areas for over half a year.

Public participation. Public participation is an important work at the project identification stage or the preparatory stage of the project construction. In views of sociology, public participation refers to the social activities that are participated by social masses, social organizations, units or individuals that act as the main bodies within their respective rights and obligations. The target of public participation is to be generally accepted by the publicity and, the project construction shall not damage or endanger the public benefits, thus to achieve the unification of economic benefits, social benefits and environmental benefits.

The term of public herein refers to the stakeholders, being a natural person or a legal entity, of which, the target groups are:

(1) Directly-affected people: People with expected benefits, organizations with direct risks, organizations with related benefits etc., most of them are within the project areas or in the areas affected by the project.

(2) Affected public representatives: Representatives of the governmental departments of the state or provincial levels, local governmental officials, local institutions and representatives from private sectors.

(3) Other organizations having the interests: including local NPC deputies, members of CPPCC, mass organizations, academic organizations and representatives

V

from subdistrict offices. Grievance. Grievance refers to the activities in stating reasons and appealing to

the state organs for the redressing of the concerned rights. These include the grievances respectively with lawsuit and without lawsuit. In the former, if the litigant parties or other citizens refuse to accept the legal judicial judgments, they may appeal to the People’s court or procuratorate for re-consideration. In the latter, in case that the working staff of the state organs, political parties and members of organizations refuse to accept the disciplinary punishment, they may appeal to the higher authorities for re-consideration.

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). M&E is a means of management constituting

an effective part of the project management. Monitoring is a continuous evaluation both on the implementation of the project

plans and on the utilization of project investment, infrastructure construction and service for project beneficiaries etc., also including the evaluation on the aspects of engineering, society and economy. The main goal of monitoring is to provide with continuous feedback of the project implementation, find out the existing and the potential problems and make prompt necessary adjustment. It is an effective means to improve the project management level, minimize the possibilities of failures, promote project construction and improve project quality.

Evaluation is the periodic assessment and judgment where summary and suggestion are proposed. It aims to evaluate the feasibility, situation of implementation and results of implementation of the identified project. Evaluation normally requires collection of necessary additional information of the project for comparative analysis, such as information of population, economy and time etc. Evaluation covers two aspects: one is to evaluate the issues that have happened, while the other is to deduce the issues that have not occurred according to the available information.

Executive Summary

Kelijiang subproject consists of five components respectively of: (i) river course treatment; (ii) sewage system; (iii) sewage pumping station; and (iv) ecological restoration and landscaping. Xiangsihu New District Construction & Development Co. Ltd. is the project implementing agency (IA).

This subproject will affect 5 villages of Shibu sub-district office, Shangyao Sub-district Office and five villages of Xinxu town. It will totally acquire 1613mu permanent land, 172mu1 land in river courses for road and temporarily occupy 40mu of rural collectively-owned land, affecting303households inclusive of 1149 people (including 51 floating households of 204 persons). In addition, the subproject will demolish 14857m² of rural houses, affecting 183 households inclusive of 598 persons (including 153 floating households of 527 persons). Project construction will affect 4 institutional units, permanently occupy 451mu of state-owned land and demolish 14800m², affecting 68 households of 193 persons. In all, the total population directly affected by the subproject is 554 households of1940 persons (incl. 204 floating households of 731 persons).

In order to avoid or minimize land acquisition and demolition impacts, close consultation on project site has been made with local government officials and villager’s committees during the feasibility study stage, and the best option is recommended by comparison with alternatives.

This updated RP is based on the Land Administration Law of PRC and related matching policies, Decision of the State Council on Deepening Reform and Strictly Enforcing Land Administration (Ref. No. GF[2004] 28), and also related policies of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Meanwhile, the RP was prepared in compliance with ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement and relevant social safeguard policies. Based on the above policies and through consultation with local governments and APs, the resettlement principles for this subproject are established as follows:

(i) Compensation and entitlements provided to APs are at least as adequate as to maintain their “without project” standard of living, with prospect of improvement; (ii) All APs, local or floating, titled or non-titled, are taken into account for compensation and resettlement assistance; (iii)Compensation shall be provided for APs in cash or kind or reserved industrial land, so that they can engage in other income-generating activities; (iv) All APs shall be adequately informed on eligibility for compensation, mode, rates and standards, restoration plans for livelihood and income, project timing etc. through public notices, and disclosure of the RP and the Information Booklets; (v) No land acquisition shall take place unless replacement land or sufficient compensation for resettlement are given to APs; (vi) The government and an independent agent will conduct monitoring of the compensation and resettlement; (vii) Vulnerable groups will be supported with special subsidies or arrangement so that their livelihood can be ensured, and all APs listed in the RP shall have the opportunity to benefit from the project; and (viii) Resettlement budget should be made fully and thoroughly to cover all aspects.

All APs have been informed the major information of RP in various means, such as meetings, interviewing, village group discussions, public consultation, and community consultation etc. Representatives from all aspects have participated in the preparation of the RP,

1 The majority of 1230 mu of river course land have been divided into affected villages, so the estimates of permanent land acquisition has increased while that of river course land has decreased. Overall the number of affected households also have been reduced to 554 households from 578 households as estimated in and the number of affected floating population has also remained the same.

II

and their concerns have been incorporated in the RP. The updated RP of Chinese version has been submitted to the relevant governmental departments. The Booklets of RP were distributed to all affected villagers and households and RP was disseminated to related villages. The updated RP has been approved by NMG and will be disclosed on ADB’s website upon ADB approval. The PMO will be responsible for the monitoring, follow-up consultation and grievance redress for the implementation of RP. The grievance procedure has been described in details in RP.

As for the permanent land acquisition and demolition, the compensation standards shall be in compliance with the latest policies of NMG. House demolition shall be compensated at replacement cost. The compensations shall be directly paid to the collective organization or individuals who are affected. Compensation for standing crops will be paid directly to the owners of the crops.

Resettlement and income restoration policies include monetary compensation, development of reserved industrial land, subsidies in kind, skill training for APs, provisions of project-related job opportunities and other measures. APs who lose their farmland will find employment in organized farming work or non-agricultural employment to increase their income after related skill training.

Land acquisition has started from June 2006 and is scheduled to be completed by December 20072. Civil works will be started after full payment of compensations. In order to achieve the successful implementation of RP, besides the internal monitoring, an independent external agent will conduct external monitoring every six months.

The cost estimate for land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement is RMB 297.8 million (2007 current price), including the basic costs covering compensation for permanent land acquisition and temporary land occupation, related taxes and fees, and a contingency of 10% of basic costs. The budget for RP accounts for 35.5 % of the total project budget, for which, the funding sources are from domestic bank loans and financial allocation.

2 In order to minimize the impacts of land acquisition on the local farmers, during the construction period, the land acquisition will be arranged in different phases according to the actual requirement of the project construction. As such, the agreement signing and payment shall be also implemented according to the relevant laws, regulations and the principles of this RP. Detail schedule shall be addressed in the updated RP after detailed design.

1 Introduction

1.1 Background

This Resettlement Plan is formulated on the basis of the laws, regulations and policies of the People’s Republic of China, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Nanning City on land acquisition, demolition and resettlement, as well as on the basis of ADB’s policies on involuntary resettlement and other social assurance guidelines. This RP describes a policy framework that illustrates the mitigation measures for the negative impacts caused by Kelijiang subproject, including the resettlement plan for affected people, rehabilitation plan for the villages and floating population that are seriously affected by the project as well as the implementation timetable for these mitigation measures etc.

The primary target of RP is to ensure that those people who unavoidably lose their land or properties shall restore to the previous or better standards for livelihood and living in the “without project” scenario. All policies, suggestions and compensation measures stated in this RP shall endeavor to achieve this target.

The basis for preparation of this RP include:

(1) Relevant documents: Feasibility Study Report on Kelijiang River Comprehensive Environmental Upgrading Subproject of Nanning City prepared in July 2005 by Beijing General Municipal Engineering Design and Research Institute.

(2) Relevant State’s and local laws and regulations on land administration as well as the compensation policies for land acquisition and demolition.

(3) Data analysis of affected people by the project (Sampling: 300 households).

(4) Field investigation on the project areas according to the proposed planned alignments.

(5) Consultation with concerned governmental departments, villages’ cadres and APs.

(6) Social and economic survey on the affected households conducted in December of 2004.

(7) Interviewing with representatives of all affected villages, discussing and formulating the measures and plans relating to their expected compensation and income restoration.

1.2 Project description

The range of Nanning Kelijiang subproject is: in the north, the dyke foot of Tianbao reservoir; in the south, the west dyke at the north bank of Yongjiang River; in the east, Qingchuan Road; in the west, outer ring expressway to west bank of Shibu River. Details are shown in Figure 1.1.

Figure 1.1. Project Map

Kelijiang subproject consists of four components, respectively river course treatment,

sewage system, and sewage pumping station. The ecological restoration and landscaping 3 is a construction component related to this subproject. Since this component is an additional project under the urban planning, it is also described in this report.

(1) River course treatment. Kelijiang River course treatment covers 4.3 km in length, starting from dam foot of

3 According to the relevant remarks in the FSR prepared by Beijing General Municipal Engineering Design and Research Institute, ecological restoration and landscaping shall not be covered by ADB finance.

3

Tianbao Reservoir next to the outer ring expressway, and stretching to Yongjiang River. The river course treatment shall be constructed along with flush water project.

River course treatment shall be done according to the standard P=2% for flood control and P=5% for water-logging control. Xiangsihu Lake (an artificial lake) shall be constructed at the lower reaches of the river to store and regulate flood water. The lake shall cover an area of 1.4km2 and shall have a storage capacity of 9.98 million m³.

Watercourse width: the upper reaches section shall be 110～250m wide (east watercourse) and 40～80m wide (west watercourse)and middle and lower reaches shall be 100～390m wide respectively. The river side shall be in the form of duplex trapezoidal section with the lower layer platform approaching average water level to facilitate people to access water. The upper platform is higher than the designed flood level. On both the upper and lower platforms are built with road in 5m width, where wharfs shall be built along the river. In addition, silt arrester and overflow weir shall be established at the east and west river head entrances of at the upper reaches.

(2) The sewers and pumping station. The sewerage system shall be constructed on the basis of separate system according to

the overall arrangement of the sewerage system of Nanning City, as well in combination of the urban development of Xiangsihu New District. The sewerage system shall be constructed along with the planned road. Wastewater in this district shall be collected at most and transferred to Jiangnan WwTP so to eliminate the pollution to the local water body and improve the regional living environment. The diameters of the reinforced concrete sewers are D=400-1500mm, and total length is 47.75km; sewer pressure pipes are of DN800mm, total length 3488m. The total length is 51.24 km.

The sewage of Xiangsihu catchment are will enter Xiangsihu sewage pumping station, through which, the wastewater will be pumped to Wuyi Road sewer pipelines and ultimately transferred to Jiangnan Waste Water Treatment Plant. The treated wastewater will be discharged to Yongjiang River after reaching the standards.

According to the special drainage planning of Nanning city, the capacity of Xiangsihu sewage pumping station is Q=1.20m³/s. It is located nearby the convergence of Ximingjiang river, having the service area of 2438ha. The planned land use area of the pumping station is 0.36ha. It will settle the problem of sewage pumping for the Xiangsihu New District, covering the area of the north and west of Yongjiang river, east of outer ring expressway and the places nearby Shibuhe river.

(3) Flush water engineering. Due to the uneven rainfall distribution in the river basin, the water volume in flood

season accounts for about 80% of the total volume of the year. In low-water period, due to less rainfall, the flow is also less. According to the balance analysis of the water volume of Kelijiang artificial lake, the water body turn-over frequencies for short-term and long-term period shall be respectively: 9 times /year in high water period, 4 times / year in normal year while less than 1 time /year in low water period. Such cannot satisfy the environmental water requirement, and will lead to the eutrophication of the lake. In order to prevent the deterioration of the water quality of the lake, the lake water must be renewed suitably. .

(4) Ecological restoration and environmental landscaping4.

4 The ADB finance shall not cover this portion, which, however, is a related project under the urban planning.

4

Environment restoration and landscaping construction shall be carried out after the completion of the watercourse treatment. Such will not only comprehensively resume the eco-environment of Kelijiang River, but also demonstrate the basic style and features of Nanning— a garden city. And most importantly, the project will provide pleasant and human-oriented scenery and good eco-environment for the water bank area, thus enables Kelijiang River to become the green corridor of the new district in western part of Nanning city. The total length of the bank landscaping is about 4.3km, and the total width of the both sides of the watercourse is controlled to be 100m (50m on each). In addition, there will be squares and centralized lawns beyond the width of 100m.

This subproject will be financed by domestic funds. It is planed that the project preparation shall be done in 2006, and construction is to be commenced at the beginning of 2007 while completed in 2010. It is agreed that compensation policies for this subproject resettlement should be in accordance with the policies framework in this RP. The ecological restoration and environmental landscape will start after the water course treatment is completed. The compensations were distributed to APs during land acquisition and demolition.

1.3 Objectives of project construction

Construction of drainage system— one of the infrastructures is needed for urgent construction and development of Xiangsihu New District. Kelijiang is located in the central area of Xixiangtang District. However, some structures have been built along both banks of the river and garbage is dumped into the river, thus occupying the river course and blocking the normal water flow. What is more is that the environment is deteriorating. Moreover, Kelijiang River runs through the core area of Xiangsihu New District which is to be developed in large scale. Xiangsihu Lake which locates at its lower reaches is also important water storage and regulating surface for the flooding discharging of Kelijiang basin. The coverage of this subproject, including river course treatment, sewage interception to Jiangnan WwTP via Xiangsihu pumping station, , construction of flood control channels and roads as well as ecological restoration etc., will completely improve the environmental situation along the Kelijiang river and the neighboring area. Such shall also help avoid repeated construction or “treatment after pollution”, thus achieve one-time improvement. .

1.4 Impacts of the project5

This subproject will totally acquire 1613mu, 172 mu land in river course for road construction and temporarily occupy40mu of rural collectively-owned land, affecting 303 households inclusive of 1149 people (including 51 floating households of 204 persons). In addition, the subproject will demolish 14857m² of rural houses, affecting 183 households inclusive 598persons (including 153 floating households of 527 persons). Project construction will affect 4 institutional units, permanently occupy 451mu of state-owned land and demolish 14800m², affecting 68 households of 193persons. In all, the total population

5 During verification, this project will in total acquire 2236 mu of land, including 1613 mu of rural collective land,, 451 mu of land from institutional units, 172 mu of river course and road, increasing by 124 mu from previous estimates. The households affected by land acquisition is increased by 29, covering 36 people; The households affected by demolition is decreased by 53, covering 198 people;

5

directly affected by the subproject is554 households of 1940 persons (incl. 204 floating households of 731 persons). In addition, there are totally 4 types of infrastructure facilities and land-attached structures affected by the project construction.

1.5 Total project investment and fund sources

The total investment of this subproject is RMB844.76 million, among which, USD48.533 million (equivalent to RMB372.84 million) shall be from ADB’s loans, and the balance shall be settled from domestic commercial banks or state special funds. The total cost for land acquisition and resettlement shall be RMB 298 million, accounting for 35.5 %, all of them shall be mobilized from domestic commercial banks and financial appropriation.

1.6 Mitigation measures

In accordance with the ADB policy on involuntary resettlement, the NPMO, the IA as well as the design institute have selected the project site carefully to minimize land acquisition and housing demolition. Meanwhile, all kinds of compensation measures have been prepared for the purpose of minimizing the adverse impact that may result from unavoidable land acquisition and temporary land occupation.

As for land acquisition and demolition, the following mitigation measures shall be adopted.

1) Land acquisition and house demolition are minimized. The FSR prepared in 2004 indicated that the proposed land acquisition of Kelijiang subproject was 2958mu, including 912mu of fish pond, 1727mu of vegetable land, and 319mu of paddy field, affecting 4 villages and 5 institutional units. The total population affected by land acquisition was 12336 people. The proposed total area of house demolition was 259650m², including 193858m² of frame structure, 55994m² of brick-concrete structure, 1850m² of brick-wood structure and 1705m² of simple structures. The total population affected by house demolition was 10365 people. Considering that there would be many villagers and urban citizens who will be affected by land acquisition and house demolition, in order to minimize the adverse impacts, upon the requests of the proposed affected people, the IA has then decided to take necessary measures to change the flood direction and reduce the construction scope and alignment. The construction was then proposed to be done along Kelijiang river. This measure has avoided a large amount land acquisition and house demolition, which would have impacted the Guangxi Agricultural Occupational College, Xixiangtang agricultural products market (Chenxi village), Guangxi Vocational College for Electrical and Mechanical Technologies, Guangxi Academy of Agriculture Science, Guangxi Clay Fertilizer Station and others. The comparison is shown in the following table.

2) Improvement scheme for “villages within city” will be implemented, which will

develop the reserved industrial land. This will help improve the productive and living conditions of the rural and urban residents and floating population that are affected by land acquisition and house demolition (Detailed rehabilitation measures are shown in Chapter 5). .

3) During construction, local rural labors shall be employed at most to increase their incomes, such as cutting trees, earth transporting, planting flowers and grass, etc.

4) In the aspects of cultivation and breeding, the government shall provide with as much as possible skill training for the rural people to upgrade their productive level, or guide the affected villages to set up large-scale breeding base so that they can have jobs.

5)In addition to the skill training, other kinds of technical training corresponding to the urban employment requirement shall be organized so that the rural people may have more job opportunities.

6) Interim measures for income restoration. Restoration of production and income will take some time. In order to ensure that the APs can increase their incomes within the shortest time, this RP includes many interim measures for such restoration (see Sections 5.3)

7) Xiangsihu New District will be developed into a higher education base, and thus the local teaching and sci-tech research conditions will be improved.

1.8 Due Diligence on Resettlement Issues for West Xiangsihu Road Construction Project.

West Xiangsihu Road is on the west bank of Xiangsihu Lake, it is an integral part of Kelijiang River Environmental Upgrading Subproject. Due to the urban road construction, it was separately constructed but constituted an associated component to this subproject, and thus due diligence was required. Road construction was started on April 23, 2005 and scheduled was completed by September,2006 (Details are shown in Appendix VII). According to our investigation on the resettlement issues of this road construction project, we hold the opinions that (i) The APs are basically satisfied with the compensation policies; (ii) The appraisals for lands and houses are reasonable; (iii) The payment of compensation for land acquisition and demolition are fully in place; and (iv) Resettlement results are relatively good. Consequently, no remedial measures are required but the affected persons and businesses will be further evaluated as part of this Project.

2.1.2 Land in River-Courses

The project costruction will require 172 mu of land in river courses. Traditionally, the local villagers along Kelijiang river have been fishing on these river-course for years without permit, Nevertheless, the river-course lands are really the important income sources of the local villagers. It is observed that their income will be affected because of the project construction.

2.1.3 Temporary land occupation

Project construction requires temporary occupation of land for construction materials, construction equipment and temporary shelters etc.

Moreover, according to the project design, laying of pipelines for sewage interception and storm-water shall be constructed along with the road construction, which will occupy the state-own land through green-belt excavation and the traffic and non-traffic lanes. The charges incurred by temporary occupation of state-owned land shall be covered by the project cost. 8 Refer to land for rural roads. 9 Permanent population refers to local population. This figure is from the survey, which will be somewhat different from the actual APs. 1230 mu of river course has been divied into affected villages.

2.4 Floating Population.

The project area and the neighboring places belong to the joint part between the urban area and the outskirt. There are 8 agricultural products markets where trading is

13

active. The tertiary industry is developed and thus attracts a large number of floating population to earn living here. The lands along Kelijiang river are fertile and plain where plantation and breeding are developed, serving as the bases for production of vegetables and meat for Nanning city. The floating population has their own house properties in their originally registered places and earns their livings through contracting the collective land. Earning more money is the major reason for their out-going work.

According to the sample survey, the floating populations are mainly engaging in plantation, commerce, service and transportation etc. Due to the lack of the necessary conditions for production and operation (such as funds and equipments), about 85% of the floating population are laborers mainly depending on providing with labor services. The annual average per-capita income is about RMB3000. The living conditions of the floating population are closely related to their occupations, being normally at about 10m2 per capita. Generally, the people engaged in the secondary and the tertiary industries would rent houses of good conditions (frame structure or brick-concrete structure) from the nearby villages, while those engaged in the primary industry would normally live in the simple houses.

Field investigation shows that the floating population affected by land acquisition and demolition are relatively concentrated on both southern banks of Kelijiang river, say in the triangle belt of Xiangsihu Bridge, engaging in the primary and tertiary industries. There are 204 floating households inclusive of 731 persons being affected by the subproject, including 51 houses inclusive of 204 persons affected by land acquisition and 153 households inclusive of 527 persons affected by house demolition. In terms of employment for the floating population, 204 persons are in primary industry, mainly engaging in breeding and planting; 527 persons in tertiary industry, mainly engaging in transport (manual tricycle), restaurant, hair-dressing, internet surfing bar and home industry etc. Details are shown in Table 2-11.

The floating population affected by land acquisition is mostly concentrated in Chenxi village, Silian village and Guangxi Agricultural Occupational Institute, and is mainly engaging in vegetable and fish growing. Some of them are employed by Guangxi Agricultural Occupational Institute to guard fields. The people living in Chenxi village and Silian villager are doing business in the agricultural market nearby Xiangsihu lake, while those floating population in the Institute are mostly engaging in service work in Bagui Tianyuan Restaurant.

2.5 Vulnerable groups

According to the initial survey, there are 4 types of vulnerable groups in the affected villages, totally 56 persons, accounting for 2.75% of the total APs. Among them, there are 23 poverty-stricken persons10，5 households of 16 persons headed by women, 11 persons of solitary elderly and 6 disabled persons. Details are shown in Table 2-12.

Vulnerable groups have three income sources: (i) Regular living subsidies by civil administration department. These living subsidies target to support the “five-guarantee households”, the solitary aged people, the disable and the special poverty population. Such subsidies are normally paid by the civil administration department at the standard of RMB220/month each person. Such amount is enough to safeguard a basic living standard according to the current price level of Nanning city. 11 (ii) Support from the collective organization. In addition to the subsidies given by the civil administration department, normally, in the traditional festivals, the village committee and the villagers’ group will give these vulnerable groups some grains and cash subsidies. For example in Chenxi village, the “five-guarantee household” can get RMB60 each month each. (iii) Support from relatives and friends. According to the local folk-custom of the project area, the relatives and friends of these “five-guarantee household”, the solitary aged people, the disabled and the women-headed household will often take care of them by giving cash or daily articles. Sometimes, they will help these vulnerable groups to raise pigs, chickens or grow vegetables. All these will ensure their living standards not to be lower than the local living standards.

10 Poverty households refer to those with annual average per-capita net income of less than RMB650. 11 Since Jan. 1, 2007, the minimum living security in Nanning city has been increased to RMB 220 per month from RMB 210 per month. The current prices of Nanning city for basic goods are: rice RMB2.5/kg; meat RMB16/kg; vegetable RMB2/kg. Based on the local living standard, 15kg of rice, 5kg of meat and 15kg of vegetables each month, which amount to RMB147, plus RMB80~90 for oil, salt, water and electricity expenses can ensure a minimum living standard. Therefore, the MLSS level of RMB220 / person a month can safeguard a minimum living security.

Land compensation contractual agreements will be signed with the village committee and

65

APs to confirm Aps acceptance of the use of funds and the proposals .

5.3.1 Rehabilitation plan for Chenxi village

(1) Project impacts

The present total cultivated land of Chenxi village is 1210mu, and this subproject will acquire 684mu, accounting for56.5%, occupy 11mu of cultivated on temporary basis. There are 480 persons affected by land acquisition, of which,420 persons are the local villagers that accounts for 35% of the total population of the village. Details are shown in Table 5-2.

Potential risks: (i) Income decrease of the collective groups. The collective lands to be acquired by the subproject have been leased to floating population, and thus the annual rental income will decrease over RMB50000; the collective houses of total 800m² to be demolished will decrease operational income of about RMB80000. The total sum of decrease will be RMB130000, averagely per-capita RMB102. (ii) Income decrease of some villagers. The subproject will demolish 9067m² of houses, which will lead to a decrease of rental income of over RMB200000 each year, averagely per-capita about RMB800. (iii) Floating population will lose their rent houses. After demolition of the shelters along Xiangsihu lake, 426 floating population have to rent other houses. Details are shown in Table 5-3. (iv) Some floating population will lose temporarily their jobs due to demolition of the stores.

(2) Gender impacts.

Project construction will cause negative impacts on different genders. As for the male, they will lose the places where they undertake aquatic cultivation and where they do the business of repair and transportation. While as for the female, those who engage in services such as hair dressing, catering and stores nearby Xiangsihu Bridge will lose their jobs, and thus their incomes will decrease.

66

(2) Requirement of APs on resettlement.

In terms of land acquisition compensation, the sample survey showed that there were 48.35% of households preferring the monetary compensation, 17.58% households preferring compensation in the form of land-equity share, 20.18% households hoping to increase the amount of compensation, 9.89% households preferring to be provided with employment and 4% households simply answering no-idea. In terms of house demolition, the survey showed that there were 58.24% of households preferring direct monetary compensation, 28.57% households preferring collective development of reserved industrial land, 9.89% households preferring exchange of property rights and 3.3% households simply answering no-idea. Floating population prefer monetary compensation.

(3) Targeted groups of resettlement.

(1) Local population. There are totally 132 households covering 459 persons affected by land acquisition and demolition, among which, 112households of 420 persons are affected by land acquisition and 20 households of 39 persons are affected by house demolition. The emphasis of resettlement shall be placed on how to restore their income levels.

(2) Floating population. There are totally 134 households covering 486 persons affected by land acquisition and demolition, among which, 13 households of 60 persons are affected by land acquisition and 121 households of 426 persons are affected by house demolition. They are the emphasis for resettlement.

(3) Vulnerable groups. Few vulnerable households are affected in this village.

(4) Restoration measures

The whole process of resettlement can be roughly divided into two stages. The first stage is to develop some interim or temporary measures for the income restoration before the proposed resettlement plans can generate economic benefits. Normally, this stage will required about 20 months. Such will help the APs to pass the difficult transitional period. The second stage is to adopt the sustainable measures for income restoration, i.e. a relatively long term restoration plan.

Interim resettlement plan and measures

� Compensation for standing crops.

Before land acquisition, the lands of Chenxi village are mostly contracted to floating population who mainly engage in growing vegetables and seedlings. According to the estimation, after land acquisition, the total crops compensation will be RMB2.05 million, which will be directly paid to the lessees (floating population) , averagely per-capita RMB3300 for the 13 affected households. As such, they can use this compensation amount to restore their living and re-employment. If as per the MLSS level of RMB220 / person a month of Nanning City, this compensation can last for over 15months.

◇Temporary transition subsidies

67

The displaced households of Chenxi village will be compensated with temporary transition subsidies. This village belongs to Category-I area in Nanning city, according to the Ref. NFF[2005]141, a household of three members will get RMB400 transition subsidy each month, a family of 4 members will get RMB500/month, a family of 5 members will get RMB600/month, while a family of 6-8 members will get RMB700-800/month.

◇ Business-ceasing transition subsidies

As for the demolition of the industrial-purpose houses, the local villagers and floating population will be compensated with business-ceasing transition subsidies. The compensation standard will be a lump-sum amount for six months of the 10% of the monthly sales turnover or the production value (verified by the tax receipt).

◇ Assisting APs to re-open business and get temporary employment.

The IA will assist the tenants and the workers to rent industrial-purpose houses nearby Xixiangtang area, so that they can re-open their business and employ the workers. Relevant measures refer to the resettlement measures for floating population.

◇ Restoration measures for temporary land occupation.

(i) Compensation for standing crops. Method of calculation: Compensation will be made as per half year if the period of temporary occupation is over 3 months but less than a half year; compensation will be made as per one year if the period is over a half year but less than one year. The temporary land occupation of Chenxi village will be 11 mu, and the compensation will be computed as per 2 years, totally RMB67350 of crops compensation. The APs can use this compensation in re-production or solve the living problems during the transition period.

(ii) As for the tenants who have lost land (mostly of floating population), the IA will temporarily assist or arrange them to engage in the secondary and tertiary industries in nearby places for the purpose of increasing their incomes.

(iii) As for the soils and irrigation facilities that may be damaged by the temporary land occupation, the IAs will recover the soil quality and irrigation facilities to the original levels before hand-over. The estimated cost for such recovery will be about RMB5200/mu, which shall be paid by the IAs. If the farmlands can not be restored to the original output properties, such land will be compensated as per permanent land acquisition.

Sustainable restoration plan and measures

� Monetary compensation. Based on estimation, Chenxi village will be compensated a total amount of RMB49.086 million for permanent land acquisition and land acquisition subsidies, RMB1.336 million for demolition of collectively-own houses, totally RMB50.42 million. As a fact, the accounting of this village is based on the collective committee. After discussion with the villagers’ committee, the villagers prefer to adopt the means of monetary compensation.

◇ Development of industrial land.

The population of this village is 1270 persons. Computed as per averagely per-capita

40m²of industrial land, there will be 77mu of reserved industrial land. In 2003-2004, construction of Diyuan road had requisitioned some land from the village, and 44mu of industrial land has been assigned on which commercial buildings have been built. By now, the village still has 33mu of quota for reserved industrial land. After implementation of this subproject, in 2007, the villagers’ committee plans to utilize the land compensation to build a commercial building of 12000m²nearby Guangxi Banking College and Xixiangtang agricultural market located in the southern section of Daxue road. The estimated total investment is about RMB19 million. At present, the villagers’ committee is seeking a partner to collectively develop a commercial building and doing the construction plan. According to field visit and consultation with APs and affected village committee, this plan will be implemented in 15 months.. After completion of this building, it will be rented out at the rate of about RMB16/m², and thus the estimated annual rental income will be over RMB2.3 million. With only this, the average per-capita of the whole village will increase RMB1800. If plus other incomes, the estimated average per-capita annual income will be over RMB4000, increasing 30% than that of 2004. The rental incomes from the commercial buildings and the share distribution shall be disclosed to the villagers and under the supervision of the local village committee and the government of Xixiangtang District. Such will help the APs to get their legal incomes.

◇ Complementary measures

In order to adapt to the development, maximize employment and minimize the impacts on the village, training will be provided for the villagers, mainly targeting to the middle-aged and young people, especially women. The contents will mainly cover real estate management, business management, logistics and warehousing management etc., so that the villagers may engage in the jobs or real estate management, warehouse, wholesale, etc. The estimation shows that there will be a great demand of the above professions, and the employment rate will be increased after training. The training plan will cover 360 persons, averagely RMB100 for each person. The total cost in this regard shall be RMB36000 that will be jointly borne by the villagers’ committee and IA.

Demolition resettlement plan and measures

� Monetary compensation.

House demolition will affect 20 local households covering 39 people of this village. However, the survey showed that, all these people, whose houses needed to be demolished, live in the village with an average living area of over 25m², while the houses to be demolished on the banks of Kelijiang river are mostly leased out to the floating people. Therefore, after demolition, the villagers will not have difficulties in residing because they have other houses. Based on the negotiation with them, they do not have the requirement of reconstruction but need monetary compensation. According to the estimation, these APs will get a total sum of RMB1.58 million of demolition compensation, moving subsidies, time-lost subsidies, averagely RMB79000 each household. They will use these funds to develop tertiary industry to restore their incomes, or improve the existing houses. Based on investigation, five households will use such sum to develop tertiary industry through increasing the investment on family business so that they can increase their incomes. The other four households will make investment on house

69

construction to improve their living standard along with the proposed program of “construction of village within city”. The remaining 11 have simple structure houses, which do not pose many impacts on their life.

◇ Construction of village within city.

In line with the urban development planning, all lands of Chenxi village will be acquired in future, and so the development scope of the village will be limited. However, in the development of Xiangsihu New District, a program of “construction of village within city” is initiated, and Chenxi village is a component of it (Refer to Appendix I). By then, the residential houses of the villagers shall be incorporated into the program of “construction of village within city”. Those villagers who need reconstruction of houses will be arranged in the new village. As known from the survey, these houses to be demolished mostly belong to brick-wood structure, for which, the compensation rate shall be RMB1520/m². Yet, according to the estimation as mentioned in the program of “village within the city” of Xiangsihu New District, the cost price for these new houses shall be RMB1033/m², and therefore, the funds for house reconstruction for these displaced people can be ensured. However, implementation of the program of “village within the city” is a complicated process that needs a wide-spread involvement from the villagers and the local government in planning and preparation before commencement. The reconstruction of “village within the city” for this project is still underplanning.

◇Resettlement plan for floating population.

The floating population living nearby Chenxi village can be classified into four categories:

(i) Business operators who rent houses. This group belongs to business operators who have the characteristics that the rental houses are used both as the residing places and business shops. The major risks brought by the project construction are dual, both of ceasing production and losing residing places. Thus, their incomes will decrease. The resettlement methods are: Firstly, moving subsidies, production-ceasing subsidies, transition subsidies shall be made. In addition, in short term, they can find new stores to reestablish their business nearby Xixiangtang agriculture market with the help from IA and concerned departments, and in long term, they can enjoy the priority in renting the stores after completion of the commercial buildings of Chenxi village. Secondly, if the new stores are unsuitable both for doing business and residing, they will be assisted to contact houses for rent.

(ii) Employees who rent houses. Most people of this group are single, accounting for about 70% of the total floating population in this area. Normally, they have temporary jobs nearby Xiangsihu lake and also rent houses nearby. After house demolition, they will face the problems of without residing places or even losing jobs also due to the house demolition of their employers. Therefore, the IA will assist or guide them to rent houses in Chenxi village or nearby. The fact is that, the houses for rent in Chenxi village are mostly of frame or brick-concrete structures. So the living environment is better than that of previous rent houses, but the rent rate is about RMB0.5/m² higher. Normally, the monthly rent expenses of the floating population will increase about RMB10, which, the floating population express that they have the affordability. As for the floating population who lose

70

their jobs, especially the female engaging in services, the IA will provide with employment information for them till they are employed again. Some floating population with better education background have been working in the city for years, and so they have some financial accumulations. These people will also find other ways of getting jobs. After house demolition, they will transfer to other places to find jobs and rent houses. As for these people, the IA will assist them to find new jobs and rent houses.

(iv) Resettlement in original household registered places. All floating population are basically in dualistic nature. They have contracting farmland, residential houses and properties in the countryside, while at the same time, they have temporary low-pay jobs in city through renting houses. Their purposes to work in the urban area are not to reside and work permanently in the city but to experience the urban life. Therefore, after house demolition, they will go back to their hometowns doing business if they find the living conditions and incomes are unsatisfactory. In their views, the production and living standards in their hometowns are not inferior to those in urban areas.

(iv) Floating population eligible to applying for economic houses and low-cost houses. In this regard, the IA will assist them to apply. According to the prevailing policies of Nanning city, the labor forces coming from other places who are employed by local organs, institutions and enterprises and who have signed minimal 1-year labor agreements according to the policies of departments of personal affairs and labor force, plus the households of housing difficulties with average living area of less than 15m² per person, shall be eligible for applying for economic houses and low-rate houses. According to the survey, the number of floating population conforming to this policy is limited, however, the IA will continue to give concern to these floating population and help them to apply for economic houses and low-rate houses.

5.3.2 Rehabilitation plan for Silian village

(1) Project impacts

In this subproject, land acquisition and demolition only affect Keli natural village of Silian Village. Therefore, the rehabilitation plan for Silian village herein will focus on Keli natural village. The subproject will acquire: 550mu18 of land from this village, accounting for 61% of the total 900mu of cultivated land of Keli natural village; 2mu of other agricultural (wood land), and; 11mu of temporary occupation (7mu of vegetable land, 4mu of dry land). There are totally 45 local households of 179 persons being affected by land acquisition, accounting for 13.2% of the total 1360 population of the village. Nine floating households of 33 persons will be affected in this regard. The subproject will demolish 3410m² of various houses, which mainly include the collectively-owned brick factory and its attached structures (incl. some simple shelters for workers). In addition, the simple shelters such as the sheds for raising pigs and ducks will be also removed. There will be one local household of 4 persons and 11 floating households of 42 persons who will be affected by demolition.

Potential risks: (i) Income decrease of the collective groups. After land acquisition,

18 Including the divided river course land.

71

the annual income of the village will decrease RMB450000; and, after demolition, the income from the contracting charges of the brick factory will also decrease over RMB40000. Therefore, the annual average per-capita decrease of income will be RMB360. (ii) Income decrease of households of animal husbandry. In the village, there are 3 households who raise pigs by the lake, with annual production of over 300 pigs and a value of nearby RMB300 thousand. After land acquisition and house demolition, the annual income will decrease an amount of about RMB40000. (iii) About 30 workers of the brick factory will face the transfer employment. .

(2) Requirement of APs on resettlement.

In terms of land acquisition, the survey showed that 41.38% of the households preferring monetary compensation, 30.59% households preferring reserving land for the tertiary industrial development, 12.94% households preferring provision of jobs and 12.59% households simply answering no-idea. In terms of demolition compensation, the survey showed that, there were 48.24% households preferring monetary compensation, 22.94% preferring re-construction as a whole by the IA, 17.06% households preferring exchange of property rights and other households simply answering no-idea.

(3) Village rehabilitation measures

Interim production restoration plan and measures

� Compensation for standing crops

Compensation for standing crops will be directly paid to the owners who contract the land. The total amount in this regard will be RMB1426 thousand, averagely per-capita RMB7960 for the APs. The villagers can use this compensation to solve the problems of living and production. According to the local living condition, the affected farmers are basically self-supplied with grains, vegetables, chickens, ducks and fuels. The monthly living expenses will be only on buying pork, fish, edible oil and salt, normally at RMB100/person each month. Therefore, the above crops compensation, except that spent on re-production, the balance will be enough to paid for the living expenses for a whole year.

◇ Business-ceasing transition subsidies

As for the demolition of the industrial-purpose houses of Keli village, including the shelters for pig raising and brick field, the local villagers and floating population will be compensated with business-ceasing transition subsidies. The compensation standard will be a lump-sum amount for six months of the 10% of the monthly sales turnover or the production value (verified by the tax receipt).

◇ Restoration measures for temporary land occupation.

(i) Compensation for standing crops. The temporary land occupation of Keli village will be 11 mu (including 7mu of vegetable land, 4mu of dry land), and the compensation will be computed as per 2 years, totally RMB61000 of crops compensation. The APs can use this compensation in production expansion or solve the living problems during the transition period. Due to the short duration of temporary land occupation, normally, the farmers will increase their incomes through agricultural input to ensure their living

72

standards during the transitional period.

(ii) As for the farmers who have lost land, according to the labor requirement, the IA will temporarily assist or arrange them to engage in the secondary and tertiary industries in nearby places for the purpose of increasing their incomes.

(iii) As for the soils and irrigation facilities that may be damaged by the temporary land occupation, the IAs will recover the soil quality and irrigation facilities to the original levels before hand-over. If the farmlands can not be restored to the original output properties, such land will be compensated as per permanent land acquisition.

Sustainable restoration plan and measures.

◇ Land readjustment

By now, Silian village implements such a system in recent years that all land compensation and subsidies arising from land acquisition will be administered collectively. As for those affected by land acquisition, the village will re-organize the lands according to the existing population of the village to secure that everyone has land. In this way, those who have lost their lands will also gain the land operational rights. Such system helps land-losing people to restore the production and living standards. The estimates showed that, the village currently has 900mu of cultivated. After land acquisition of this subproject, there will be left over about 350mu, averagely per-capita 0.3mu. If computed as per the local unit production value, the annual production value will reach RMB4000/mu (paddy rice – vegetable – paddy rice, or sugar cane), indicating average per-capita production value of RMB1000. Though the income return from the land is decreased, the production and living will be restored as the compensation amount has also increased and can be invested for better income returns. At present, the land in this village has not been acquired and the compensation has not been distributed. The village committee is still consulting the use of compensation. At the same the the compensation for amount for industrial development has increased from RMB 10.08 million to 37.36 million, so the investment is currently being planned. Since more money is available for investment, the returns will be higher than what was planned earlier.

◇ Industrial development.

The estimated permanent land acquisition compensation and subsidies for Silian village shall be RMB37.36 million that will be under the unified management by the collective committee. In this way, any expenses shall be approved by two-third of the villages’ conference. At present, the villagers’ committee is planning to utilize the compensation in the tertiary development. There are two schemes for industrial development: (i) Construction of commercial building; (ii) Construction of apartment building. These selected schemes shall be finalized by the local villager’s committee and resettlement departments. The village may choose one option. The majority of villagers agree to use the compensation for developing commercial building. However, the final decision has not been made since the compensation has not been distributed. The options described below are based on earlier planning targets amounting to RMB 10.08 million, however now the amount has increased to RMB 37.36 so more money is available for investment and higher will be the returns. As mentioned earlier, the final decision on the utilization of

73

the money is still under discussion.

☉ Construction of commercial building. In order to restore production, the villagers’ conference intends to concentrate the land compensation and resettlement subsidies to undertake the tertiary industrial development. It is planned to invest about RMB10 million to build comprehensive commercial building in the suitable place nearby Xiangsihu New District. The construction area is 8000m². If computed as per 25m² each, there will be totally 320 stores that will be leased out to secure the gradual increase of the collective and villager’s incomes. In this regard, the annual income will reach RMB1.92 million based on annual rental of RMB6000 each. Therefore, based on the current population, each villager will annually receive additional income of about RMB1400.

☉Construction of apartment building for leasing. With the development of Xiangsihu New District, Keli village will turn from a rural village into a village within the city. With the expedition of the urbanization, the floating population in Xiangsihu New District will increase, especially the neighboring students and floating population. The estimated figure in the coming five years of those who need to rent houses will reach about 30000 persons. Therefore, by utilizing this advantage, Keli village can make use of the land compensation and resettlement subsidies to construct a eight or nine-storied apartment building for leasing, from which, stable rental income can be ensured. The construction area shall be the same with that of commercial building. In this connection, there will be 150 apartments, and the annual rental income will reach RMB1.08 million (RMB600/month each), averagely per-capita nearly RMB800 each year.

The commercial buildings of the village will be rented out. The rental incomes from the commercial buildings and the share distribution shall be disclosed to the villagers and under the supervision of the local village committee and the government of Xixiangtang District. Such will help the APs to get their legal incomes. Normally speaking, from the submission for approval to the completion and profit-generation of a commercial building will require a period of about 20 months. Therefore, the APs will get stable income source about 2 years after LAR.

◇ Technical training.

In order to improve the working ability of the villagers, after discussion, it is planned to offer technical training for the middle aged and the young villagers within 2 years, covering the contents of new and high agricultural technologies, intensive operation, etc., thus to improve their laboring technologies and skills. Major contents will be real estate management, hotel management and business knowledge, so that the villagers may engage in the jobs of real estate and hotel management. In this regard, after completion of commercial building or apartment building, they will need about 60 managerial staff. Therefore, the initial training will be provided to 60 persons (50% women), which will require about RMB6000 that shall be jointly borne by the villagers’ committee and IA.

Demolition resettlement plan and measures

� Monetary compensation.

Keli brick factory is the major target of demolition by this subproject. The factory is collectively owned. After discussion with Keli village, no reconstruction is required. The

74

village prefers monetary compensation, including the subsidies for ceasing production. Demolition of the unregistered simple structures built along both banks of Kelijiang river, such as the shelters for breeding pigs, ducks, etc., will be compensated in the forms of monetary compensation or subsidies, no re-construction will be made. The APs can reestablish their business after getting compensation.

◇ Resettlement of floating population.

The floating population affected by demolition are the 30 workers of brick factory. After demolition of the factory, the contractor will contract another brick field nearby Nanning city and continue to employ these workers and their spouses. Therefore, the resettlement of these floating population in the village will be solved. In addition, the other affected people who engage in breeding have found initial intents to continue their business in the nearby suburb of the city.

5.3.3 Rehabilitation plan for Xinxu village

(1) Project impacts

At present, Xinxu village has 1410mu of cultivated land. The permanent land acquisition of the subproject will be 344mu 19 (paddy fields and vegetable land), accounting for 24.3% of the total figure. This project acquire 2 mu of residential land and 1 mu of agricultural land. In addition, the subproject will temporarily occupy 13mu of land (10mu vegetable land and 3mu of dry land). There are 80 households inclusive of 280 people affected by the subproject, accounting for 8.99% of the total 3113 population of the village. If computed as per the unit production value of cultivated land, permanent land acquisition will annually cause about RMB500000 decrease of income to the village, averagely per-capita RMB160. The demolition area is 1580 m2, mainly being simple structure houses; there are 9 affected househoulds, covering 28 people.

(2) Resettlement requirement

The sample survey indicated that, in terms of land acquisition compensation, there were 45.95% of the rural households preferring monetary compensation, 13.51% households preferring reserving tertiary industrial land for development, 25.68% preferring increasing the compensation standards so that they can seek jobs by themselves, 15.86% preferring provision of employment.

(3) Village-level restoration plan and measures

Interim production restoration plan and measures

� Compensation for standing crops.

This subproject will acquire 344mu of cultivated land from Xinxu village, for which, the

compensation will be RMB0.92 million. The average per-capita compensation will be

RMB3285 for the total 280APs. The villagers can use this compensation to solve the

19 Including the divided river course land.

75

problems of living and production. According to the living standard of this village, the

affected farmers are basically self-supplied with grains, vegetables, chickens, ducks and fuels.

The monthly living expenses will be only on buying pork, fish, edible oil and salt, normally at

RMB100/person each month. Therefore, the above crops compensation, except that spent

on re-production, the balance will be enough to paid for the living expenses for 1~2 years.

◇ Restoration measures for temporary land occupation.

(i) Compensation for standing crops. The temporary land occupation of this village

will be 13 mu (including 10 mu of vegetable land, 3 mu of dry land), and the compensation

will be computed as per 2 years, totally RMB 79000 of crops compensation. The APs can

use this compensation in production expansion (such as increasing the agricultural input to

increase the income), or solve the living problems during the transition period.

(ii) As for the farmers who have lost land, if they have the willingness of labor transfer,

the IA may temporarily assist or arrange them to engage in the secondary and tertiary

industries in the High-tech district for the purpose of increasing their incomes.

(iii) As for the soils and irrigation facilities that may be damaged by the temporary land occupation, the IAs will recover the soil quality and irrigation facilities to the original levels before hand-over. If the farmlands can not be restored to the original output properties, such land will be compensated as per permanent land acquisition.

Sustainable restoration plan and measures

The demolition area is 1580 m2, mainly being simple structure houses; there are 9 affected househoulds, covering 28 people. The monetary compensation is RMB 170 000, with per capita of RMB 6 000, which can serve as their living cost.

There will be no house demolition in this village, and thus only production resettlement is required. In this connection, the restoration plan and major measures are as the follows:

◇ Tertiary development. In order to restore production, the affected villagers’ groups, after discussion, would prefer to concentrate the land compensation and resettlement subsidies for investment. They intend to build suitable commercial apartment buildings in the core area of Xiangsihu New District to be leased out by the villagers’ groups, from which, the rental income shall be used to assist the affected people so that they can restore their production and livelihoods. Accordingly, the estimates show that this village will get a total compensation for permanent land acquisition of RMB22.28 million, which if used to construct building, shall be adequate to build over1000 stores for leasing. In this connection, the annual total rental income, if all leased out, shall reach RMB3.0 million, i.e. annual average per capita of the affected people shall be about RMB1000.

The commercial buildings of this village will be rented out. The rental incomes from

76

the commercial buildings and the share distribution shall be disclosed to the villagers and under the supervision of the local village committee and the government of Xixiangtang District. Such will help the APs to get their legal incomes. Normally speaking, from the submission for approval to the completion and profit-generation of a commercial building will require a period of about 20 months. Therefore, the APs will get stable income source about 2 years after LAR.

◇ Self-seeking jobs. The agricultural population to be resettled shall enter self-seeking job resettlement agreement with the rural collective economic organization. In this case, the land acquisition resettlement subsidies shall be divided by the agricultural population to be displaced, out of which, the average resettlement subsidies shall be given. In addition, they may get an amount of RMB25000 each person of the self-seeking job subsidies from the land acquisition and demolition unit.

◇ Provision of jobs and training. The survey shows that, some villagers hold the views to improve the labor skills of the villagers through necessary technical training so that they can restore their production and living. The village will develop the tertiary industry in building over 1000 commercial units. If one person manages 10 units, such will provide with 100 job vacancies, accounting for 35% of the total affected people, presumably half respectively for male and female young people. Therefore, the training provided by the project implementing agency shall contain real estate management, hotel management and commercial techniques.

5.3.4 Hede village and Ximing village

(1) Project impacts

Hede village is both affected by Kelijiang subproject and Xinxujiang subproject. However, it is more affected by Xinxujiang subproject, which will be more illustrated in the RP for Xinxujiang subproject. For more explicit description, the impacts on these two villages are combined in this section. The subproject will acquire 30mu of cultivated land from Hede village, accounting for 2.7%. There are 15 affected households, covering 66 people. There is no land acquisition in Ximing village, only occupying temporarily 3 mu of vegetable land. No houses in these two villages shall be demolished.

(2) Resettlement requirement.

In terms of land acquisition, there were 41.38% of the rural households preferring monetary compensation, 13.79% households preferring reserving land for the tertiary industrial development, 20.69% households preferring provision of jobs and the rest households simply answering no-idea.

(3) Restoration measures

In the survey in Hede village and Ximing village, after consultation with the villagers’ committees and villagers, the village level restoration plans are:

◇ Interim measures. (i) The crops compensation will be used to cover the productive and living expenses during the transitional period. According to the estimation, these two villages will be totally acquired 30mu of land, from which, the crops compensation will be

77

RMB47000, averagely per-capita RMB712 among the APs. Except the amount used in productive input, there will be about RMB300 that can be used to cover the living expenses for three months. This is because that these two villages still have other industrial incomes, and the impacts are not concentrated on some individual households. Therefore, the APs will not face the degrading of their living standards due to the project implementation during the transitional period. (ii) The APs with difficulty will be arranged by the IAs to engage in the non-skill works during construction period of the project, so that they can get temporary incomes.

◇ Industrial development. In a long run, Hede village should develop the tertiary industries to ensure the sustainable development. Hede and Ximing villages are located in the advantageous central area of Nanning New & High-tech Industrial Development Zone and Xiangsihu New District. According to the resettlement policies of Nanning city, they can concentrate the land acquisition compensation to invest on the construction of economical commercial apartments for leasing . These economical commercial apartments shall be managed the villagers’ groups, from which, the rent income shall be shared by the affected people. The estimated permanent land acquisition compensation for Hede village shall be RMB1.495million, and for Ximing village RMB0.98 million. According to the local average construction costs, such funds shall be adequate for constructing 15 commercial units, from which, the annual rental income if all leased out shall be RMB0.09 million, i.e. the annual average per-capita income shall be about RMB1360 for the 66 APs.

◇ Employment and training. The 15 commercial apartments under the category of tertiary industrial development shall provide jobs for 3 persons. Therefore, the affected people shall be trained in the aspects of real estate management and hotel management, which shall be organized by the IA.

5.4 Measures for supporting people affected by temporary land acquisition

The total area of temporary collective land occupation by the project shall be 40 mu, Including 22 mu of vegetable land and 15 mu of dry land. 55 persons will be temporary affected. On the basis of the survey in affected village, the actually vegetable income per year per mu is about RMB1800-2000yuan/mu, and the dryland is about RMB 700-800 yuan/mu.

According to the relevant regulations of the State and the Autonomous Region, compensation for temporary land occupation shall be computed on the basis of the AAOV and the duration of temporary occupation. The project occupation time period shall be computed as per 1 year. So the compensation for vegetable land is 3000yuan/mu and dryland is 15ooyuan/mu, these are higher than the land temporary land losses, temporary APs will be fully compensated for any lost income, so no need for livelihood restoration.

Temporary land occupation may damage the original land surface and the previous irrigation facilities. The contractor shall restore the surface soil quality and the related irrigation facilities to the previous level with 1 year (the estimated cost for restoration is RMB4800-5200/mu, but it is different in this area).The budgets is included in project costs. In addition, responsibility of the contractor should be included in the bidding documents.

78

5.5 Resettlement for institutions and staff affected by the project

This subproject will affect four institutional units respectively of Guangxi Agricultural Occupational College, Guangxi Academy of Agriculture Science, Guangxi Economic Management Cadre College and Guangxi Vocational College for Electrical and Mechanical Technologies.

5.5.1 Guangxi Agricultural Occupational College

Guangxi Agricultural Occupational College is located in the central part of this project. It occupies 1005mu of land, out of which, this subproject will acquire 305mu permanently indicating a land acquisition impact rate of 30.3%. Also, there will be 11150m² of houses to be demolished, including 8410m² of residential houses, of which 6000 m2 belong to simple structure houses. Therefore, the college will be affected by the subproject somewhat seriously. Major restoration measures are:

� Monetary compensation. This subproject will occupy 305mu of state-owned land in the college. However,

such land acquisition will not affect the normal teaching and scientific research, as such upon discussion, the means of compensation shall be mainly monetary compensation. The estimated compensation in this connection for the college shall be RMB15.554 million. The demolition of non-residential houses, such as storage room, workshop, vegetable shelters, fences, etc. shall be compensated in cash; no re-construction shall be made.

◇ Exchange of property rights. This subproject will demolish 8410m²of staff’s residential houses, for which, the total demolition compensation will be RMB6.86 million at average rate of RMB1991/m ² (excluding temporary structure). The college plans to reconstruct residential building for the staff within the college by utilizing the compensation. According to the current cost price, the above compensation will be enough for constructing new houses according to the previous structure and area. If the affected staff require additional residential area, or excessive structure, standard and area, the additional costs shall be borne by applicants.

5.5.2 Guangxi Academy of Agriculture Science

Guangxi Academy of Agriculture Science occupies 248.8ha. of land (approx. 3732mu), including 112ha. (approx. 1680mu) of field experimental land. The permanent land occupation will be 78mu, accounting for 2.1% of the total figure.

� Monetary compensation. This subproject will acquire 78mu of state-owned land of the college, and thus having small impacts, for which, the compensation shall be made in cash. The estimated compensation in this connection for the college shall be RMB4.285 million.

◇ Exchange of property rights. The subproject will demolish 3650m² of various houses, including 3250 m2 of temporary houses; all of them are residential houses of the working staff. The compensation in this regard will be RMB1.148 million, averagely RMB1650/m²(except for simple structure houses). After land acquisition, this college still has a lot of land, and so it intends to re-construct residential houses for the faculties according to the previous structure, standards and area of the demolished houses. According to the current cost price of Nanning, the above compensation will be enough for constructing new houses. If the affected staff require additional residential area, or excessive structure, standard and

79

area, the additional costs shall be borne by applicants.

5.5.3 Guangxi Economic Management Cadre College and Guangxi Vocational College for Electrical and Mechanical Technologies

The survey shows that this subproject will only acquire 51mu and 17mu of state-owned land respectively from Guangxi Economic Management Cadre College and Guangxi Vocational College for Electrical and Mechanical Technologies. No house demolition will occur, showing small impacts. Therefore, the compensation will only be made for the land occupation. The compensations for Guangxi Economic Management Cadre College and Guangxi Vocational College for Electrical and Mechanical Technologies is respectively as RMB 1.826 million and RMB 0.668 million.

5.6 Resettlement of vulnerable groups.

Vulnerable groups refer to the poverty-stricken population, households headed by women, the solitary elderly and the disabled. According to the survey, there are totally 56 vulnerable persons affected by this subproject. These people have different characteristics and the impacts on them by the subproject are also different. Therefore, the resettlement for them shall be different according to different characteristics. In this connection, the subproject will budget a certain amount of funds from the contingency to provide special assistance for these groups, of which, the estimated amount is RMB475 thousand20.

5.6.1 Resettlement plan for poverty households

This subproject will affect 23 rural poverty-stricken households whose family annual average per-capita net income is below RMB650. It is indicated that multiple factors are the reasons for the poverty, such as disease, debts, inadequate land or even low-quality, etc. Aiming at these factors, the resettlement measures are:

1. Difficulty subsidies. In order to assist the poverty-stricken households to restore their normal production and living, the eligible poverty households in rural and urban areas will be covered by the MLSS systems. In this regard, the civil affairs departments shall pay a certain amount of regular subsidies to them. The eligible rural people can get annual subsidies of RMB650, 21and those in urban areas will get MLSS subsidies of RMB220/month each person. In this regard, the government will adjust the subsidy level according to the local economic development, so that the people will gradually improve their living standards.

2. Micro credit. According to Ref. No.NNYF[2005]84, the IA will assist the poverty households, poverty women and households headed by women in applying for micro 20 As per the poverty-reduction standards and economic development of Nanning City, i.e. estimated at RMB1000/year each person for five years. 21 Circular of Guangxi Civil Affairs Department and Guangxi Financial Department on Ensuring the Security for Rural Five-Guarantees households (Ref. No. GMF[2004]8), as for the “five-guarantees households”, the following rations are ensured: 182.5kg rice, 6kg edible oil and RMB360 subsidies. Based on this, such in-kinds are equivalent to a basic line for ensuring minimum living standard of RMB650 according to the price index of Guangxi. n consideration of the contracted land and the land nearby the houses, these people can develop courtyard economy by growing some vegetables, fruits, food grains that serve as the supplementation to the main food. Therefore, such annual ration of RMB650 for rural poverty households is adequate for them to maintain the basic living standard.

80

credit loan to undertake small-scale development (such as breeding and business running etc.) so that they can quickly restore their production and increase their incomes.

3. Industrial development support. The Land Acquisition, House Demolition and Resettlement Office of Xiangsihu New District will coordinate with villagers’ committees to provide special support to the poverty households. In this connection, the villages that have reserved industrial land will offer rent-free stores to the poverty households to run business for five years. The generated profits will belong to these poverty households.

4. Free training. Based on Ref. No.GTZF[2004]238, the IA will provide with free skill training for the 23 poverty population of the project areas. The training shall design the courses that can satisfy the requirements of the employment and labor sources market, currently, such training will cover the practical technology, business techniques, household services etc. The contents of training shall be renewed according to the market requirement so to meet with the employment requirement. After training, the IA will recommend them to the society for employment.

5.6.2 Resettlement plan for households headed by women

The initial survey of this subproject indicated that there are 16 households headed by women distributed in different villages. Most of these women are widowed or divorced, and some women’s husbands have been suffering from illness and have lost their labor force for long time. Therefore, the resettlement measures in this connection are:

1. Micro credit. According to Ref. No. NNYF[2005]84, the IA will assist these households in applying for micro credit to undertake small-scale business (such as breeding, business running, etc.), so that they can quickly restore their production. 2. Priority in getting employment. Construction of this subproject will need a number of temporary laborers for planting flowers and grasses, fertilizing and weed killing, etc., for which, women labors are suitable. Therefore, the IA shall give priority to these women in doing this work so as to settle the living difficulties of the households.

3. Difficulty subsidies. The special poverty households headed by women must be covered by the MLSS system. In this regard, the civil affairs departments shall pay a certain amount of regular subsidies to them. The eligible rural people can get annual subsidies of RMB650, and those in urban areas will get MLSS subsidies of RMB220/month each person. The subsidy standard will be gradually adjusted along with the economic development enabling that the living standards of special poverty households are not inferior to previous ones. According to the survey, in addition to the MLSS subsidies supported by the civil administration departments, normally, these poverty women-headed households still have contracted land of 0.3-0.9mu / person to grow vegetables. The annual incomes for them will be about RMB1000-2000. In addition, they cal also do some temporary jobs in the High-tech zone to earn some money as a supplementation to the family incomes.

5.6.3 Resettlement for the solitary elderly.

There are only 11 solitary elderly affected by the project. Most of them are at the age of over 70 years and suffer year-long diseases without being taken care of. Their living conditions are not safeguarded. Therefore, the resettlement measures in this

81

connection are: 1. Ration subsidies. The affected solitary elderly must be covered by MLSS. The

eligible rural people can get annual subsidies of RMB650, and those in urban areas will get MLSS subsidies of RMB220/month each person. Such standards will be increased with the improvement of living. The charges will be settled by the civil affairs department. According to the survey, in addition to the rationed subsidies, each year, the villagers’ groups will gather grains from all households for these rural solitary elderly people to ensure adequate grain provision. In addition, the villagers’ groups also assign a small patch of land to them, on which, some young people are designated to help the elderly to grow vegetables. Such will help the elderly to have vegetables in all seasons. As a result, their living standards will be gradually improved, and thus the project implementation will not bring about more difficulties to them.

2. Coordinated assistance. According to the local customs, in rural area, if an aged person loses his labor ability, his children will be jointly responsible for all expenses for their parents to live out the life. If without any children, the villagers’ group and the near relatives shall discuss the methods to help the aged to live out the life, for which, the IA shall pay resettlement subsidies to the solitary elderly through the villagers’ committee. In addition, the project management office and the IA shall pay regular visit to the solitary elderly, if identifying living difficulty, they shall actively adopt corresponding measures.

5.6.4 Resettlement plan for the disabled.

There are 6 disabled persons affected by this subproject who have basically lost their labor ability and some of them are in difficulty in managing themselves. As for these vulnerable groups, the major resettlement measures are to include these people into the social insurance system of Nanning for management, through which, these disabled shall get basic living expenses on monthly basis and so their living can be ensured.

5.6.5 Protection measures for women’s entitlements.

The survey showed that women in the project area have high status in the family, society and economy, and therefore, the assistance shall be from two aspects of service and training.

1. Provision of service. It is recommended that, during the project construction period, every village shall organize one women’s meeting each year and pay regular visits to some families so as to collect the proposals and complaints from the women and provide with necessary consultation for them.

2. Enhancing training. The women in the affected areas are in low skill and need necessary training to promote their working skills. Therefore, the IA shall coordinate with the local villagers’ groups in providing technical training for the women according to women’s employment and development requirement. The training will cover 50% of the affected women.

5.7 Resettlement for floating population.

Floating population is a big group affected by the project construction, and therefore, it is necessary to adopt effective measures for their resettlement.

82

5.7.1 Resettlement plan for floating population of plantation households

According to the initial survey, there are totally 36 households inclusive of 137 persons of floating population affected by the project in Chenxi village, Xinxu village and Guangxi Academy of Agricultural Science who lease or contract land to grow vegetables, flowers and fruits, etc. However, they will lose the opportunities in leasing and contracting the land due to the construction of this subproject. Therefore, it is necessary to rehabilitate them. Major measures are: (i) Monetary compensation. The crops grown by floating population on the leased or a year contracted land shall be compensated according to relevant policies. In this regard, the total estimated compensation for standing crops will be RMB4.626 million, averagely per-capita RMB33760. The floating population can only get the compensation for the crops that they grow. (ii) Provision of employment. The floating population who engage in plantation are mostly of agricultural population coming from other places other than Nanning city. They have been living in the outskirt for over five years or minimum 1-3 years. They have accumulated relatively rich experiences in growing vegetables, fruits and flowers, serving as a good potential labor force for agricultural development. The IA will actively guide them to undertake scale-economy operation through renting land from the nearby outskirt of Nanning city, such as Shibu town and Jinling town, so that they can restore their production and living. At the same time, they will also make contribution to the agricultural scale and intensive production of Nanning city.

5.7.2 Resettlement plan for floating population engaging in breeding

In the project area, there are 15 households inclusive of 67 persons who are engaging in breeding fish by utilizing the ponds and waters of Kelijiang river. They are mainly distributed along Kelijiang river of Silian village and nearby Guangxi Academy of Agriculture Science living on breeding – a major source of the household income. Therefore, construction of the subproject will have big impacts on them. The major restoration measures are:

(i) Crops compensation. Project implementation will stop the breeding of fish in ponds which are managed by the floating population, however, the compensation for fish stocks shall be made according to the relevant policies, for which, the compensation shall be RMB212 thousand.

(ii) Demolition compensation. The floating population who breed fish for years in the ponds along Kelijiang river and the ponds of Guangxi Academy of Agriculture Science have built some simple shelters, demolition of which shall be compensated at replacement cost according to relevant policies by the project implementing policies. The total amount will be RMB196000. (iii) Guiding employment. In the outskirts of Nanning city, there are a lot of fish ponds and rivers that are suitable for breeding at low rent. In this connection, the IA will, according to the agricultural development planning of Nanning City, provide with necessary information of employment for them for the purpose of guiding them to develop scale breeding production in a suitable place. Such will help them find employment and restore production and livelihoods, and thus supplying more fresh meat to Nanning City.

83

5.7.3 Resettlement plan for floating population engaging in the tertiary industry

In the project area, there are 153 households of 527 persons floating population engaging in the tertiary industry, most of them engage in wholesale and retail, restaurant, hotel, repair, tricycle transport, waste collection, etc. However, implementation of this subproject will displace these floating population who are engaging in the tertiary industry from the business places, residential area and employment opportunities. Therefore, it is necessary to rehabilitate them. The major measures are: (i) House demolition compensation. Some floating population living on the west bank of the southern section of Kelijiang river built the houses on the paid “borrowed land” through cooperating with the villagers of Chenxi village many years ago. That is, after the floating population have paid some rent, they may build some simple houses by the lake and enjoy the titles. As for this, careful identification must be made, and necessary compensation will be paid to the floating population.

(ii) Guiding employment. As for the business operators of floating population who are affected by demolition, the IA will guide and assist them to rent stores nearby, so that they can quickly restore their business. As for those employees, the IA will provide with employment information for them and guide to get job opportunities.

(iii) Provision of house-renting information. As for the floating population who lose their rental houses, the IA will provide with the information of cheap-rent houses and help them find suitable places to live. According to the investigation, the nearby Chendong village, Chenxi village and Keli village still have many vacant houses for rent, normally at the rate of RMB6-8/m² that is suitable for floating population.

5.7.4 Education and training for floating population.

(i) Schooling for children. The children of floating population will be helped to receive

compulsory education. Local schools are not allowed to collect surcharge on schooling. Children of poverty households will enjoy reduction or exemption of book charges and miscellaneous expenses, and provision of living subsidies according to relevant policies of Guangxi and Nanning.

(ii) Adult education. Most of the floating population from rural areas are of poor education background, and they would feel the serious competition for employment. Therefore, in order to resettle them, the IA will provide with technical training according to their respective occupation requirement, covering the contents of business operation, household service management, etc. In this regard, the number of women receiving training will be over 50%.

5.8 Ethnic minority rehabilitation plan

The initial survey shows that there are 82 ethnic minorities in the affected area of this subproject. Viewing from the degree of impacts, the major rehabilitation measures are:

84

(1) Guidance and provision of employment. (i) As for the business operators of floating ethnic minorities who are affected by demolition, the IA will guide and assist them to rent stores nearby, so that they can quickly restore their business. (ii) As for those employees, the IA will provide with employment information for them and guide to get job opportunities. (iii) During construction period, the IA will arrange 10% of the affected ethnic minorities to engage in the non-skilled work of the project; (iv) After project completion, job posts will be also provided for ethnic minorities.

(2) Provision of house-renting information. As for the floating minority population who lose their rent houses, the IA will provide with the information of cheap-rent houses and help them find suitable places to live. According to the investigation, the nearby Shangyao village and Weizilu village still have many vacant houses for rent, normally at the rate of RMB6-8/m² that is suitable for floating minority population. Eligible affected floating minority population may apply for economic houses or low-cost houses of Nanning city, in this regard, they will be assisted by the community.

(3) Poverty ethnic minority households will be assisted with difficulty subsidies. The eligible poverty-stricken minority households in rural and urban areas will be covered by the MLSS systems with ration subsidies by the civil administration department according to the administrative registration.

(4) Poverty ethnic minority households may enjoy exemption or reduction of wastewater tariff and solid waste treatment tariff according to the policies of Nanning city.

(5) Children of ethnic minorities enjoy preferential policies in schooling. The children of ethnic minorities will can attend local schools of Nanning city without being collected any surcharge on schooling. Children of poverty minority households shall enjoy reduction or exemption of book charges and miscellaneous expenses, and these boarding students shall be also supported with living subsidies. If they attend entrance examination to middle school or universities, they can get additional 5-15 scores.

(6) Free training. The affected ethnic minority labor force in the project area shall receive free training according to the requirement of the labor market. There will be totally 3 times of training, each time for 90 persons, focusing on young people. The contents of training shall be finalized according the labor requirement.

8 Public Participation

8.1 Significance and targets of public participation

Public participation is an important work at the project identification stage or the preparatory stage of a project. In views of sociology, public participation refers to the social activities that are participated by social masses, social organizations, units or individuals that act as the main bodies within their respective rights and obligations. The target of public participation is to be generally accepted by the publicity and, the project construction shall not damage or endanger the public benefits, thus to achieve the unification of economic benefits, social benefits and environmental benefits.

The term of public herein refers to the stakeholders, being a natural person or a legal entity, of which, the target groups are:

(1) Directly-affected people (risk undertaker): People with expected benefits, organizations with risks, stakeholders with related benefits etc., most of them are within the project areas or in the areas affected by the project.

(2) Affected public representatives: Representatives of the governmental departments of the state or provincial levels, local governmental officials, traditional supervisory staff, local institutions and representatives from private sectors.

(3) Other organizations having the interests: including local NPC deputies, members of CPPCC, mass organizations, academic organizations and representatives from subdistrict offices.

8.2 The objectives of participation

In order to safeguard the legal entitlements of the affected people, during the policy-making process of project planning and implementation, extensive public participation will help form a vivid phase where smooth and comprehensive information and communication channels are available, and thus the affected people will be properly compensated and resettled and should restore to or may even surpass the living standards they had before the land acquisition. In addition, through effective coordination and communication, the possible adverse effects can be minimized and the project construction can proceed smoothly.

8.3 Methods of public participation

8.3.1 Preparation of resettlement booklet

The PMO plans to compile Resettlement Booklet before December 2005, introducing ADB’s resettlement policies, the policies and standards of the municipal government and the working procedure for resettlement implementation etc. This booklet was distributed to the public before the project construction (December 10, 2005) so as to increase the transparency. During project implementation the updated resettlement booklet was further disclosed in October /2007.

102

8.3.2 Public disclosure of the materials relating to resettlement, land acquisition and demolition

The land acquisition and demolition office of Xiangsihu New District shall promptly publishing the relevant policies, resettlement standards and other materials relating to resettlement. The updated Resettlement Plan will be placed in the libraries of the institutional units or the cultural rooms of all villages for public reference.

8.3.3 Information campaigns

The media is not only an important means of information transmission, but also an effective method for public participation and information feedback. Through the media, the public may acquire the knowledge of the project, and hence increase the transparency of the project construction Before resettlement is conducted, the construction department of Nanning Xiangsihu New District Construction and Development Co. Ltd. and Nanning ADB Resettlement Office shall introduce to the public relevant information of this subproject through television, broadcasting station and newspaper etc., as well as organize some activities such as holding contest of resettlement knowledge etc. In addition, hot line and inquiry telephone are to be set up. All these will be beneficial to the work of public participation, consultation and improvement of the work. After the resettlement, the media may also make follow-up reports in opening special reports for the living conditions of the affected after being resettled. Such will help monitor the resettlement implementation and urge the implementing agency to take necessary remedy measures.

8.3.4 Socio-economic survey

PRA survey

Participatory monitoring is a good scientific method. Its merits lie in the good availability of the first-hand genuine information through quick-talk survey with some ordinary people in a more illustrative method such as pictures or drawings.

Baseline survey of living standards The participation of the affected people is an important factor to investigate the basic

living standard. In this connection, the identification of the basic living standard is critical to the future monitoring and evaluation. Such baseline survey shall be organized and designed by an independent monitoring institution (such as Guangxi Academy of Social Sciences) through sample investigation. Such method focuses more on the income sources of households and the socio-economic living standards. It adopts a combining method of qualitative and quantitative analysis by encouraging to the possible extent the public participation so that the affected people may play an active role in disclosing those factors relating to the living conditions that are not easily identified. The sample survey for baseline living standards shall be conducted covering 30% of APs. Such survey will be conducted after project construction commencement, one time after two months, then once every year, and then one time after project completion.

103

8.3.5 Public consultation meetings

Official and formal public consultation meetings organized by Land Acquisition and Demolition Office of Xiangsihu New District.

Such kind of meetings shall be held on irregular basis, or shall be organized by the resettlement office according to the actual requirement. The theme, scale and participants will also change accordingly. Normally, the meetings will be held annually inviting the representatives from vulnerable groups, especially women. Such will be a component of monitoring.

Public consultation meeting organized by the independent agency. The independent monitoring agency shall hold one public consultation meeting on

9 Monitoring and Evaluation

9.1 Meanings of monitoring and evaluation

Monitoring and evaluation is a means of management constituting an effective part of the project management. Monitoring is a continuous evaluation both on the implementation of the project plans and on the utilization of project investment, infrastructure construction and service for project beneficiaries etc., also including the evaluation on the aspects of engineering, society and economy. The main goal of monitoring is to provide with continuous feedback of the project implementation, find out the existing and the potential problems and make prompt necessary adjustment. It is an effective means to improve the project management level, minimize the possibilities of failures, promote project construction and improve project quality.

Evaluation is the periodic assessment and judgment where summary and suggestion are proposed. It aims to evaluate the feasibility, situation of implementation and results of implementation for the identified project. Evaluation normally requires collection of necessary additional information of the project for comparative analysis, such as information of population, economy and time etc. Evaluation covers two aspects: one is to evaluate the issues that have happened, while the other is to deduce the issues that have not occurred according to the available information.

Continuous monitoring and periodic evaluation requires collection of materials to generate necessary information as required by project management after analysis. These information will provide feedback to the managerial level of the project for the reference of policy-making and thus the project management would be more effective. Similar to the project management system, the monitoring and evaluation shall also form an information system that covers the aspects of information design, information generation, information feedback etc.

9.2 Reasons and targets of monitoring and evaluation

According to the requirements stipulated in the Regulations on Construction Supervision promulgated by the Ministry of Construction of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1995, all construction projects shall be properly supervised. It is also required by ADB resettlement handbook that monitoring and evaluation must be conducted for resettlement caused by the project funded by ADB. In order to ensure the full compliance with the resettlement plan in the aspects of land acquisition and resettlement, internal monitoring and external monitoring are required during the process of project construction. In addition to the external monitoring on implementation to be conducted on half-year basis, ADB also requires comprehensive mid-term review and completion review on the resettlement implementation.

Under the premises of complying with the overall land-use planning, urban master planning and the improvement scheme for the “villages within the city” the improvement shall follow the requirement of “unified planning, comprehensive progress, in-stage construction, reasonable distribution and complete supporting facilities etc. to build multi-story (or high-rise) apartment buildings. Such will ultimately build these villages into an integrative commercial and residential area.

III. Scheme for improvement All rural collective economic organizations or equity-share cooperatives shall be

encouraged to apply for improvement. In this connection, the rural collective economic organizations of all villages or the equity-share cooperatives shall apply for improvement of “villages within the city” to the government for approval to be included in such improvement project. Then, under the guidance of the district government, the rural collective economic organizations shall directly undertake the improvement project or cooperate with qualified real estate company for such purpose. The improvement project shall be also conducted incorporating with the construction of resettlement houses and infrastructure as well as commercial land development as a whole. However, if for commercial land use, the land transfer shall be listed in Nanning land transfer center for open public bidding, auctioning and listing. Details are:

1. The administration committee of the new district shall be responsible for supplying the lands within the improvement scope that are respectively planed for rural’ house re-building, collective productive construction, public facilities and utilities in the form of land allotment. Other lands for commercial purposes such as commercial residence, commercial business, tourism and recreation etc. shall be supplied according to the relevant policies of the State through public bidding, auctioning and listing transfer etc.

2. The infrastructure such as urban roads, sewerage system, sanitation etc. and the public utilities such as water supply, power supply and gas supply etc. under this improvement project shall be included into the public facilities for unified management. The public facilities of the places covered by such improvement shall be planned along with other improvement projects, constructed in phases in a manner of overall advancement. The implementing agencies engaging in the improvement shall construct the necessary supporting facilities according to the planning by themselves, including provision of land for the places proposed to be improved and for the construction of trunk (secondary) roads, covering necessary infrastructure development such as access roads, pipelines, street lamps and landscaping etc.

3. Based on the principle of “dependency management” the governments of all urban districts shall be responsible for the normal management of the temporary occupation of the improved roads, as well as the management of the public infrastructure and utilities of roads (below 20m pavement in width), drainage systems, bridges, street lamps and landscapes etc. They shall be also responsible for approving the digging of roads of less 20m in width as well as for the environmental and sanitary management, supervision and comprehensive treatment of the new villages.

4. Every village shall organize the demolition of the structures and land attachments

120

within their respective administrative area needed to be improved. The administrative committee of the New District shall make compensation for the vacated land according to the relevant regulations for acquisition of collectively-owned land of Nanning city.

5. In order to facilitate the opportunities of employment for the villagers, increase the rural’ income and thus improve the living standards, the implementing agencies engaging in the improvement shall be responsible for constructing multi-story or high-rise commercial and residential buildings, being at the standards of grade-II brick concrete. The ground floor shall be used as stores. Such buildings shall be managed by the rural collective economic organizations or the equity-share cooperatives, from which, the villagers may share the benefits. The second or above floors shall be used as the resettlement houses, which shall be distributed according the original demolished floorage of the villagers.

6. The commercial operational land within the area proposed to be improved shall be obtained via open public bidding and auctioning in Nanning Land Transfer Center. The net income from the assignment as arisen from such process shall be fully retained by the rural collective economic organizations or the equity-share cooperatives, of which, the utilization shall be under the municipal government and the administrative committee of the New District. The net income from the land assignment in this connection shall be used in priority to pay for the necessary charges of construction of the implementing agencies that conduct the improvement.

Part II. Methods for House Resettlement

In accordance with the Reviews of the CCP Committee and the People’s Government

of Nanning City on the Promotion of the Comprehensive Reform for “Villages within City”, Provisions of Nanning City for Management Improvement Construction of “Villages within City” as well as Methods of Compensation and Resettlement for Acquisition of Collective Land and House Demolition ( Ref.NFF[2003]106), to be more feasible for the improvement scheme, the resettlement houses shall be built with the same construction area with the original one, and the displaced household shall be resettled according to the original construction area. The additional area that does not conform to the resettlement area shall be bought by the displaced households at the cost price of the resettlement house. Detail methods for resettlement are:

1. Exchange of property rights for collective houses. The demolition o the houses on the collectively-owned land shall be compensated in

the form of exchanging property rights, i.e. the project implementing agency shall build in uniform the resettlement houses of grade-II brick-concrete structure. According to the initial survey, the structures of the rural houses are 80% of brick concrete, 15% of brick timbre and 5% of simple shed. Based on the compensation rates for different structural houses (grade-VI collective house compensation rate: brick concrete RMB1560/m², brick timbre RMB1381/m², simple structure RMB1107/m². ), then the ratios for exchange of property rights in terms of area are: 1:1 for brick concrete structure, 1:0.9 for brick timbre structure, and 1:0.7 for simple structure.

2. Identification of property rights for collective houses. ① The houses built on the rural collectively-owned land approved by the town

(township) people’s government before December 31 of 1986 shall be defined to have the

121

rural collective land construction land use rights and house property rights. ② The houses built on the collectively-owned land approved by the town (township)

people’s government from January 1 of 1987 to March 31 of 1990, if the land use area conformed to the State’s standards of the time, shall be defined to have the rural collective land construction land use rights and house property rights.

③ Houses built on the rural collectively-owned land approved by town (township) people’s government from April 1 of 1990 to December 31 of 1998, if the land area conformed to the State’s standards of that time, shall be defined to have the rural collective land construction land use rights, while to have the house property rights if such houses were built with the approval documents issued by the urban planning administration department.

④ After January 1 of 1999, if the rights holders can present necessary documents such as land use approval, planning approval and house acceptance certificate, such case shall be defined to have the rural collective land construction land use rights and house property rights.

3. Resettlement standards based on the defined rights On the basis of the survey, among the collective houses in all villages, there are

about 80% that can be defined the rights, while the balance 20% cannot. As for the part with defined rights (or the houses that had been demolished due to Daxue road and Diyuan road construction or government’s acquisition, of which the construction area conformed to the State’s standards of that time), the standard resettlement area shall be computed as per 100% of the original floorage; as for those without defined rights (or those houses without approved formalities due to objective reasons such as the government’s suspension in approving house construction when the rural peoples submitted application), the standard resettlement houses shall be computed as per 50%. In this case, the additional area that is out of the standard resettlement area shall be procured by the displaced households according to the cost price of the resettlement houses.

Part III. Construction methods for resettlement houses

In order to fully utilize the urban land resources and improve the land utilization rate,

under the premises of complying with the overall land-use planning and urban master planning, it is to stick to the design concept of “human foremost” to elaborate the architectural styles and improve the infrastructure so that the “villages within city” may better merge with the modern urban development.

I. Site selection The land as required by the resettlement houses shall be arranged to the possible

extent within the range of improvement, among which, 339.15mu for Chendong village, 111.10mu for Chenxi village, 128.96mu for Ximing village, 96.32mu for Xin village, 169.28mu for Shibu village and 304.16mu for Silian village, totally 1148.97mu.

II. Construction scale and investment Construction of resettlement houses shall be in line with the house demolition and

constructed in different phases, so that the houses for the displaced households may be ensured. The major types of residential houses shall be 3-bedrooms with 2 halls and 4-bedrooms with 2 halls, each with construction area of about 90-150m²; other types shall

122

include 2-bedrooms with 2 halls and 1-bedroom with 1 hall, each with construction area of 60-90m². Therefore, the total construction area for the second and above resettlement houses shall be 1148970m ² . However, the total construction area for qualified resettlement houses are 1073748.8m², of which, the difference shall be procured by the displaced households at the cost price, and therefore shall not be included into the resettlement cost. The construction cost for the resettlement houses shall be calculated as per RMB900/m² (qualified resettlement areas are shown in the attached table).

The total investment for construction of resettlement houses from the second and above stories shall be:

1073748.8×RMB900/m2 =RMB966.37392 million. The resettlement building shall be in seven stories, and the construction area of the

ground floor shall be: construction area of resettlement houses ÷6 stories=1148970m²÷6=191495m² So, the investment on the first floor of stores and shops will be: 191495m²×

RMB900/m²=RMB172.3455 million

Part IV. Investment Computation for Supportive Facilities Construction

In the resettlement area, the plot ratio shall be 1.5, greening rate 33%, assuming at the rate of RMB200/m2 for the investment of supportive facilities, then 1148.97÷0.0015×200=RMB153.196 million.

Part V. Computation of Cost Price of Resettlement Houses

The resettlement houses are built on the previous collectively-own houses, and so no

land cost shall be counted. Construction cost shall include house construction and the shared cost for public facilities, therefore, the cost price of resettlement houses = (house construction cost + shared cost for public facilities) ÷ area, then, [（1148970-1073748.8）×900＋（1148970-1073748.8）÷1148970×15319.6×10000]÷（1148970-1073748.8）=RMB1033/m2

Part VI. Methods for Development of Commercial Operational Land

In order to expedite the improvement of the “villages within city” it is necessary to enhance the capital investment. The assignment of the operational commercial land shall be conducted to the possible extent along with the improvement construction. In this connection, the implementing agencies shall conduct the work of “three put-through, one leveling” for the vacated land that shall be later listed in Nanning Land Transfer Center for bidding and auctioning. The roads in the places proposed to be improved shall be planned and constructed in phases along with the improvement project. During computing the benefits of assignable land, the resettlement house land and the public road land shall be deducted. In this regard, an proportion of 30% shall be deducted on temporary basis as per the reserved land. Considering the up-valuation of the land due to the development of the core area of Xiangsihu New District, the estimated land transfer price shall be RMB1 million/mu, and so the land benefit shall be: 2328.04 × （ 1-30% ） ×

RMB100million/mu=RMB1629.628 million.

123

Part VII. Compensation Cost for the Vacated Land

Land acquisition compensation = 2248.04×RMB20000/mu=RMB44.9608 million.

Part VIII. Conclusion

The surplus benefits fro land assignment = income from land assignment – construction input for the 2nd or above stories resettlement houses – construction input for 1 floor stores and shops – input in construction of supporting facilities – land acquisition compensation =162962.8-96637.392-17234.55-15319.6-4496.08=RMB292.7518 million

Appendix II Resettlement Information Booklet

Resettlement Information Booklet

I. Objectives of the resettlement information booklet

Resettlement Handbook mainly aims to offer a brief introduction to the project,

especially on compensation rate, resettlement interests, as well as how and when to effect payment of compensation and other necessary charges to the affected people or communities. It is a part of information publication work to notify the policies of land acquisition, house demolition, compensation, payment for discharges, the treatment of complaints as well as accusation procedures. The project IAs shall distribute the Handbooks to the affected people before close measures and investigation. The Handbooks should be distributed to land acquisition and demolition offices and village committees of the affected project zones.

II. Project background

1. Project scope The range of Nanning Kelijiang River Comprehensive Environmental Upgrading

Project is: in the north: the dyke foot of Tianbao reservoir; in the south, the west dyke at the north bank of Yongjiang River; in the east, Qingchuan Road; in the west, outer ring expressway to west bank of Shibu River. The total area is 2317.0 ha., roughly covering west part of Group 2, the whole area of Group 3 and the north part of Group 5.

2. Project components

(1) River course treatment. The upgrading project covers a section of 4.3 km from outer ring expressway at the

dike foot of Tianbao Reservoir of Kelijiang River to Yongjiang River. River course treatment shall be done according to the standard P=2% for flood control

and P=5% for water logging control. Xiangsihu Lake (an artificial lake) shall be constructed at the lower reaches of the river to store and regulate flood water. The lake shall cover an area of 1.4km2 and shall has a storage capacity of 9.98 million m³.

Watercourse width: the upper reaches section shall be 110～250m wide (east watercourse) and 40～80m wide(west watercourse)and middle and lower reaches shall be 100～390m wide respectively. The river side shall be in the form of duplex trapezoidal section with the lower layer platform approaching average water level to facilitate people to access water. The upper platform is higher than the designed flood level. On both the upper and lower platforms are built with road in 5m width, where wharfs shall be built along the river. In addition, silt arrester and overflow weir shall be established at the east and west river head entrances of at the upper reaches.

(2) Sewage pipeline project The sewerage system shall be constructed on the basis of separate system according to

the overall arrangement of the sewerage system of Nanning City, as well in combination of the urban development of Xiangsihu New District, the sewerage system shall be constructed

125

along with the planned road. Waste water in this district shall be collected at most and transferred to Jiangnan WwTP so to eliminate the pollution to the local water body and improve the regional living environment. The size of sewers shall be D=400～1350mm, with a total length of 47.75km.

(3) Sewage pumping station A sewage pumping station covering an area of 20-odd mu will be constructed in

Ximing village. (4) Storm system. Based on the separate system, the lagged drainage system shall be improved to

settle the problem of water logging. Furthermore, in combination with the river course treatment, repeated construction and breaking of drainage pipelines after completion of such treatment shall be avoided and thus achieve an one-time target of upgrading. The size of storm water pipes shall be D=600～2400mm, with total length of 66.90km.

(5) Eco-restoration Ecological landscaping shall be done along both banks of Kelijiang River.

III. Affected area and quantity

The affected areas of the project cover two urban administrative districts, i.e. Gaoxin

district and Xixiangtang district. From the planned construction alignment, this subproject will cover 5 villages and 2

communities, which will substantially bring about negative impacts, including loss of farmland and house properties as well as demolition of stores and small-scale industrial enterprises. The villages and communities affected by Kelijiang subproject are shown in the following table.

The project will acquire2064mu of land, including1613mu of rural collectively-owned

land and451mu of state-owned land from enterprises and institutional units. There are 303 households covering 1149 persons, including 252 local households of 945 persons, and 51 floating households of 204 persons.

The total area of structures proposed to be demolished shall be 29657m², including 14857m ² of rural structures and 14800m ² of urban structures. There will be 251 households of 791 persons affected by demolition, including 30 local rural households of

126

71 persons, 68 urban households of 193 persons, and 153 floating households of 527 persons. The total population affected by land acquisition and demolition is 554 households of 1940 persons, including 282 local rural households of 1016 persons, 68 urban households of 193 persons, and 204 floating households of 731 persons.

IV. Planning for resettlement Under the leadership of the Administration Committee of Nanning Xiangsihu New

District, upon detail investigation of the impacts as well as on the basis of fully soliciting the villagers’ opinions, the resettlement plan is prepared by Guangxi Academy of Social Sciences. Resettlement will be based on land and supported by development of multiple economic components. Through implementing the restoration plan for all villagers’ groups, the plan will provide with short-term living assurance and the long-term production basis for potential development. Therefore, combination of the resettlement and restoration with the regional economic development will enable the affected people to reach or even surpass the living standards before being resettled.

(4) Compensation standards for temporary land occupation According to the relevant regulations of the State and the Autonomous Region,

compensation for temporary land occupation shall be computed on the basis of the annual average output value and the time of temporary occupation. For convenience of calculation, such compensation shall be the standing crops compensation standard rate multiplied by the time of occupation. The time period of more than 3 months but less than 6 months shall be computed as per 6 months, while that of more than 6 months but less than 1 year shall be computed as per 1 year. Temporary land occupation may damage the original land surface and the previous irrigation facilities. The construction unit shall restore the surface soil quality and the related irrigation facilities to the previous level, failing to restore to the previous farmland properties and the output status, the construction unit shall make compensation as per the permanent occupation. The compensation standards for temporary land occupation are shown in the following:

(5) Compensation standards for land in river course According to Article 9 of Constitution of the People’s Republic of China29, the river

course of Kelijiang river is the state-owned resources, and thus project construction that occupy the river course will not make any compensation. Traditionally, the local villagers along Kelijiang River have been fishing on these river-course for years without permit, nevertheless, the river-course lands are really the important income sources of the local villagers. If the occupation of the river course by the project be without compensation, the farmers’ future production and livelihood will be affected. In fact, the local villagers also express such wishes with we conduct the social survey. In order not to affect the implementation of this subproject, NMG attaches great importance to this issue, and, in the principle of human-foremost, decides to compensate these river course land by referring to the compensation standards for fish ponds that presented in Ref. No.NFF[2004]106.

(6) Other taxes and charges for rural land In addition to the above compensation for land acquisition, other necessary charges

must be paid, including land administration fees, farmland occupation tax, development and construction funds for new vegetable plots and fish ponds, farmland reclamation charges, land acquisition service charges and urban construction charges etc.

(a) Land administration fees shall be collected as per Ref.GJFZ[1994]210,

29This Article stipulates that: The natural resources including minerals, water, forests, mountains, grasslands, wasteland and mudland etc. belong to the state ownership, i.e. ownership by the whole people, except those are stipulated by law to be under collective ownership.

130

Ref.GJFZ[2001]250, Ref.GCYWZ[1999]12 etc., the charge rate shall be 2.8% of the basic land compensation.

(b) Farmland occupation tax shall be collected as per Ref. GZF[1987]88 at the standard rate of RMB7/m2.

(c) The collection of development and construction funds for new vegetable plots and fish ponds shall be based on Ref. Memo[2003]1 of the Standing Committee of the people’s government of Nanning city at the rate of RMB10000/mu.

(d) Farmland reclamation charges shall be computed as per Ref. GJZ[2001]138 at the rate of RMB30/m2 for paddy fields and vegetable land while RMB20/m2 for dry land and orchard land.

(e) Urban construction support charges shall be computed as per RMB15000/mu. (f) Land acquisition service charges shall be computed as per RMB2/m2. According to the new regulation, the compensation standards have been increased. The

compensation standard for 778 mu of river course land has been increased to 209700 RMB per mu from 77200 RMB per mu; that for 110 mu of dry land has been increased to 152250 RMB per mu from 101500 RMB per mu. The compensations for other land are based on the regulation [2005] 141. 2. Compensation standards for demolition of rural houses

Demolition of the legal houses built on the collective land shall be resettled in the means of monetary compensation, exchange of property rights or house sites etc. Removal of residential houses shall be compensated with transition subsidies, removal subsidies and time-lost subsidies etc. Demolition of non-residential houses shall be compensated with removal subsidies.

Due Diligence Report on Resettlement Review for

West Xiangsihu Road Construction Project -- Project linkage with Kelijiang River Environmental Upgrading Subproject

1. Brief introduction of the project. West Xiangsihu Road construction project was approved for identification on January 1,

2004 by Nanning Development Planning Commission (now renamed as Nanning Development and Reform Commission). According to the project identification, the implementing agency was Nanning Urban Construction Investment Development Corporation. Due to the establishment of Nanning Xiangsihu New District Administration Committee in July 2004 and the subsequent founding of Nanning Xiangsihu New District Construction and Development Company Ltd., the latter became the implementing agency for this road construction project as a substitution for Nanning Urban Construction Investment Development Corporation.

West Xiangsihu Road is located to the west of Xiangsihu Lake starting at Diyuan Road (now renamed as Jiangbei Avenue) in the south and ending at Keli Avenue in the north. It is 3183.208m in total length and 30m in pavement width belonging to urban secondary main road of bi-directional four lanes. The designed speed is 40km/hr. and the designed period at saturation flow is 15 years.

The construction of this project started on April 23, 2005 and is scheduled to complete on December 31, 2005.

The major income sources of these villages within the city, Silian Village and Chenxi village, are from rental and business incomes, while the incomes from agricultural cultivation are no longer the major sources.

2.2 State-owned land occupation The project occupied 70.35 mu of state-owned land, including 46.30mu of construction land,

17.5mu of vegetable land and 6.55mu of unused land. Those institutional units that were under comparatively serious impacts by land occupation are: about 30mu of Guangxi Economic Management College, 26.8mu of Guangxi Vocational College for Electrical and Mechanical Technologies, and 10mu of Guangxi University for National Minorities. Details are shown in Table 2-3.

House Demolition and Resettlement Office of Xiangsihu New District

Sources: House Demolition and Resettlement Office of Xiangsihu New District During the process of land acquisition and demolition, five steps are followed:

160

Investigate the real situation. Officials were sent to the project area to acquire the relevant information of land acquisition and demolition, and then formulated the schemes for such purposes that should be submitted to the Administration Committee for examination and approval.

Information disclosure. The information such as types of lands, types of houses and corresponding compensation standards that were related to the proposed land acquisition and demolition were disclosed to the public, so that the public may have the knowledge of relevant policies.

Field investigation and verification. The concerned agencies or departments of Xiangsihu New District, including planning, land resources, land acquisition and demolition resettlement office and project implementing agency, sent technical staff to obtain field evidences, verified the land or structures needed to be acquired or demolished. Such help lay solid foundation for signing agreements.

Signing agreements with the people whose lands or houses needed to be acquired or demolished. After verifying the area of lands or houses needed to be acquired or demolished, the agreements were entered.

Land acquisition and demolition were conducted. 4.2 Resettlement scheme for land acquisition. The resettlement schemes for land acquisition are in the following forms: (1) Monetary compensation. Land acquisition of this project mainly focuses on fish

ponds, vegetable lands, orchard lands and construction land, indicating less quantity of land needed to be acquired. Therefore, according to the willingness of the affected persons, the method for compensation mainly adopted monetary compensation. The farmers may develop further production according to their actual needs after obtaining the compensation.

(2) Develop second industry or tertiary industry. The affected villages are located in the suburban of Nanning city, the farm land owned by APs is comparatively less. APs income sources are mainly from second industry or tertiary industry such as running private restaurant/business and leasing house. After land acquisition, computed as per averagely per-capita 40m ²of industrial land, the villages will get reserved industrial land. After implementation of Kelijiang subproject, the villagers’ committee plans to utilize the land compensation to build an commercial building of 12000m²nearby Guangxi Banking College and Xixiangtang agricultural market located in the southern section of Daxue road. The estimated total investment is about RMB19 million. This building shall be rent out at the rate of about RMB16/m², and thus the estimated annual rental income will be over RMB2.3 million. Only this, the average per-capita of the whole village will increase RMB1800. If plus other incomes, the estimated average per-capita annual income will be over RMB4000, increasing 30% than that of 2004.

(3) Increase the input into agriculture or adjust agriculture industrial structure. Some households who received land compensation or resettlement subsidies, are planning to invest on the family operational business (i) Increase the input of fertilizers (chemical fertilizer and farmyard manure), enhance crops management and ultimately realize the target of production restoration and increase of incomes. The estimates show that, after input increase, the unit yield of crops will increase 10%, and so the predicted increase of cash income shall

161

reach RMB200/mu. (ii) Increase the input on family breeding through increasing the number of herds, thus to improve the family income. Additional breeding two pigs will bring about annual additional income of RMB400. (iii) Grow fruits and sugar canes instead of grains so to increase the rate of agricultural. By now, a dozen farmer households have planned to retreat from growing grains to growing fruits and sugar canes. Through such adjustment, and annual unit income shall be increased from the present RMB800/mu of growing grains to RMB1200/mu.

4.3 Resettlement scheme for demolition. 4.3.1 Resettlement of local affected population. The major contents of the resettlement scheme for local population in this regard were: (1) Monetary compensation. As the result of survey, most of the rural farmers have two

residential sites. One is in the village for living; the other is on the bank of Xiangsihu Lake as the commercial stores or for rent. The houses demolished by the project are those built along the bank of the lake. Therefore, after house demolition, these affected villagers may move back to the old residential houses in the village. In addition, they may also utilize the compensation to buy commercial houses or economic houses, or build new houses or expand the existing houses in the village.

(2) Provision of reconstruction locally. As for the staff of the state-owned institutional units whose houses have been demolished (mainly referring to the 24 staff households of Guangxi Economic Management Cadre College), after consultation with the project implementing agency and the affected staff, a method of providing new reconstruction was applied. The resettlement standard is as per 70m² (frame structure) for each household, which is 16m² /household more than the previous living area of 54m² /household. In consideration of the future requirement, if anyone requires to increase to 90m²/household, the additional costs shall be borne by the applicant.

(3) Industrial restoration. Over 90% of the demolished houses of the project belong to the operational houses of the villagers that bring rental incomes to the owners through leasing to the floating population. Very few house owners would live in or use by themselves. However, they have been compensated for the demolition with a total amount varying from as high as one million to minimally several thousand RMB yuan.

4.3.2 Resettlement measures for affected floating population. There are 274 floating population affected by the land acquisition and house demolition

of the project, and thus the resettlement were: (1) Floating population (tenants) were compensated with house moving subsidies

(RMB8/m²), temporary transition subsidies and subsidies for termination of production or business (RMB120/m ² ). Other subsidies were made according to Document Ref. No.NFF[2004]106.

(2) Assist and guide the affected floating population to rent houses in nearby villages. As for the floating labor forces who have been doing business for years along the bank of Xiangsihu Lake, the project implementing agency help and guided them to rent houses in the nearby Silian village and Chenxi village. The survey shows that they have rented houses of

162

one-bedroom-and-one-hall at the rate of about RMB150/month, the living conditions and rents are identical to those of the previous houses.

(3) Floating population was guided to do business in nearby areas. The survey shows that there was nearly one hundred floating population working in the stores, food shops, hair-dressing houses and Internet bars that are located nearby Xiangsihu lake. They have lost their jobs due to the demolition of these houses. As such, the implementing agency, coordinating with the labor and social security department, to provide guidance and assistance to these floating populating in getting jobs and increasing their incomes.

5 Resettlement Assessments 5.1 Resettlement of land acquisition. (1) The Land compensation, resettlement subsidies and young crops compensation for

land acquisition have been fully paid, and the rate of funds availability in this regard has reached 100%. According to the survey by GSAA during 22nd -26th, the project has acquired 242.47mu of land (equip. 16.16ha.), including: 37.74mu of vegetable land, accounting for 15.66%; 62.96mu of fish ponds, accounting for 25.97%; 9.20mu of dry land, accounting for 3.79%; 12.79mu of orchard land, accounting for 5.27%; 111.56mu of construction land, accounting for 46%; 8.22mu of other types of land, accounting for 3.39%. The total “three compensation and subsidies” for such land acquisition has reached RMB10.1279 million.

(2) Some villagers plan to grow vegetables and sugar canes. From the analysis, the average compensation rate for land acquisition of the project has reached RMB41769/mu, and such amount has greatly helped the villagers in restoring production and incomes. The villagers treasure the compensated amount of money. Some of them have planned to grow cabbage on large scale. They have collected farmyard manure and adequately procured fertilizer and seeds. After the autumn harvest and soil preparation, they will grow cabbage, fruits or sugar canes. Such will help increase the multi-cropping index of soil, improve unit crops yielding and increase family incomes. For example, as for Chen Jinrong, Pang Dening and Chen Jian of No.5 Group of Keli village, Zhong Shaoji and Chen Shijian of No.8 Group, they grew vegetables on little scale before. After getting land compensation and crops compensation, they have sufficient funds for production expansion, and therefore, they will grow fruits, sugar canes and vegetables this winter and next spring. By now, they have already made preparations for ploughing and sowing. As soon as the autumn harvest is over, they will drain the paddy fields and start to grow cabbage or black-skin sugar canes. They expect 10% of income increase next year than that of the current year.

(3) Some villagers raise pigs. According to the investigation of Keli village, for the purpose of restoring production, seven affected households have already bought 15 young pigs to breed with the expectation of getting additional income of RMB200/each in a half year.

(4) Floating population is well resettled. There are two kinds of floating population affected by land acquisition, respectively of those growing vegetables on leased land and those breeding fish on leased ponds. After acquisition of the fish ponds and vegetable lands by the project, they have moved to nearby places to continue their business. The investigation shows that three affected floating population households who previously grew vegetables have moved to the nearby Gantang Village to continue the same business, while two such households who previously bred fish have also moved to Xinxu village to raise fish.

163

Presently, the production and living are stable, and their incomes will also increase with the production expansion.

5.2 Resettlement of demolition. (1) The payment of demolition compensation is fully in place. Till now, except that the

demolition compensation for the 24 staff households of Guangxi Economic Management Cadre College have not been paid due to the on-going reconstruction designs, the project has paid up the total amount of compensation of RMB14.3277 million. The common practice is that compensation is paid in advance of demolition after verification and signing agreement. The method of payment is done through designated banks. All the affected persons are satisfied with such method.

(2) All staff of institutional units affected by demolition has been resettled. There are over 20 persons of institutional units affected by demolition, a good many of them are the clerks of taxation bureaus, banks and commercial departments who work in this district but live in the downtown. They take rest in their offices at noon. Most of the demolished houses in these units belong to office building. After demolition, they have moved back to the head offices, and so they are not seriously affected by the project. In Guangxi Vocational College for Electrical and Mechanical Technologies, previously, there were three staff households living in the one-storied houses. After demolition, they have been resettled in other one-storied houses located to the right of the office building nearby the gate. Their current living environment is better than before, and the living areas are also larger.

(3) Local villagers have been resettled in the original villages. Among the affected villagers of Keli village and Chenxi village, there are two types:

(i) Some villagers not only have good buildings in the village, but also have simple buildings near Xiangsihu lake for rent to floating population. After demolition, they still live in the village, and thus the living environment and area remain unchanged. Facing the handsome amount of compensation, they still do not have any intention to build new houses. For instance, Brother Chen (Tel. 0771-3248564) has his own building in Chenxi village. Ten years ago, he contracted the wasteland of the village located on west side southern Xiangsihu lank, where he built 21 low and simple shelters that exclusively rent to floating population at the rate of RMB50-120/month. Road construction has demolished over ten shelters this time, but he has got demolition compensation (RMB160/m²).

(ii) Some villagers (especially from Keli village) built new houses by Xiangsihu Lake that served both as residence and commercial stores. After demolition, these people have moved back to the old houses in the original village. However, the living environment and area there are worse than before. After getting the demolition compensation, some of them plan to demolish the old houses and rebuild new ones that may use as residence or for rent. Some of them plan to buy the nearby commercial stores on the reserved land for tertiary development. Viewing from the gained compensation rate of RMB600-1800/m², they may buy the same area as before. The survey shows that, some affected villages plan to move back to the original village on temporary basis, and continue to restore the previous family business at a suitable time. Some of them plan to engage in catering trade, or buy commercial houses for rent, or cultivate land and develop agricultural cultivation.

(4) Resettlement of floating population, covering three types: (i) Students attending correspondence school are resettled in schools. There more than

164

20 college students affected by demolition of the project. Most of them are the students attending correspondence courses of Guangxi University for National Minorities. Every year, they may come to Nanning and rent villagers’ houses (Silian village) for a short period. After house demolition, the implementing agency has discussed with the colleges to arrange accommodation for them. By now, these students have been well resettled, without affecting their study and living.

(ii) Resettlement of floating population household. The floating households were relatively concentrated in the west side of the southern Xiangsihu Lake. They rent the shelters built by Brother Chen of Chenxi village. Most of them are from Hunan province, totally about 20 households covering nearby 60 persons. They have lived in these shelters for over three years. After demolition of these shelters, the local government guided them to rent houses in the nearby Chenxi village, and so their businesses are not affected. According to the survey, the newly-rented houses (one bedroom with one hall) are bigger and the living environment is better than before. The rent is about RMB150/month, being RMB20-30/month higher. The expressed that they can afford. During demolition, the government has compensated them with moving subsidies at the rate of RMB8/m².

(iii) Resettlement of unmarried floating population. There are over 180 persons of this group of floating population who worked in retail stores, food shops, hair-dressing houses, internet bars, coffee shops, repair shops, etc. nearby Xiangsihu Lake. Due to the demolition of these stores, their living and working were temporarily impacted. Now, some of them have moved to other places along with their employers doing business, and some of them have found new stores in local places continuing their business. Lan Ying (Tel. 0771-2553304), a tenant, who runs a printing shop and a hair dressing shop, previously had 7 unmarried employees. In addition to the monthly salary of over RMB1000, these employees also enjoyed free food and lodging. After demolition, they have now again found a two-story building nearby the local Xixiangtang police station to open a hair-dressing shop. The total area of this building is 56m², which is slightly smaller than the previous one. The first floor serves as printing shop. By now, they have restored normal business. The seven unmarried floating population are still working there, and their incomes are gradually increased.

(5) A reward of RMB6000 has been paid to those affected households that offered active cooperation and moved out within the specified period.

In all, after demolition, the living conditions of all the affected local residents and floating population (including the tenants who are not of Xixiangtang District but of Nanning City) have been improved, and their incomes are under restoration.

6. Conclusion and Recommendation The affected people are satisfied with the compensation policies. The

compensation standards for land acquisition and demolition of West Xiangsihu Road Construction Project followed the relevant policies of Nanning City. During implementation, the implementing agencies stick to principles but gave flexibilities to some special cases. All the affected people are basically satisfied with the compensation standards.

The appraisals for lands and houses are reasonable. The survey shows that, most

of the affected people hold the views that the appraisals conducted by the qualified

165

institutions were made according to the specified procedures and in scientific attitudes, thus basically reasonable and fair.

The payment of compensation for land acquisition and demolition are fully in

place. Normally, the compensation for land acquisition and demolition are paid in advance directly through banks. Such process is secure, and the affected people are satisfied with it.

Resettlement activities are relatively good. Suitable resettlement measures have

been taken and good results gradually have emerged. After resettlement, the living environment and area of the affected people are improved, and their production and living standards are gradually restored.

Monitoring &Evaluation . the associated project resettlement income restoration

and development will also be monitored by external M&E organization of Kelijiang project .
