Executive Summary

A. Background of RP

1. The Heilongjiang Roads Network Development Project will finance the construction of a highway project between Linkou county and Baiquan county, including 428 km class two roads and 170.38 km linking roads. The Heilongjiang Communication Department (HCD) will be the project Executing Agency and the Linkou-Baiquan Highway Construction Office (LBHCO) will be the Implementing Agency.

B. Resettlement Impacts 2. The proposed highway and its linking roads will affect 8 counties, 36 townships, 130

administrative villages, and 6 forest bureaus, 24 forest stations. About 1,391 hectares of land will be permanently acquired, of which 92% is land for agricultural use, 4% is land for construction use, and 4% is land unused. 532 ha or 38% of the total is arable land and 613 ha or 44% is forest land. Table 1 shows permanent land acquisition of the project. Land acquisition will directly affect the equivalent of 5,663 households (22,858 people), which is showed in Table 2. Another 428 hectares of land will be temporarily used during the construction phase with 535 HHs and 2,244 people affected. A total of 25,034 m2 of structures will be demolished. 4,057 structures are urban houses, with 66 households (226 people) affected. 10,532 m2 rural houses will be demolished, displacing 135 households (576 people). In additional, 147 workers will be indirectly affected by the 10,445 m2 house demolition of the 11 affected factories in a short period of time. In total, House demolition will affect 201 households (802 people) and 11 enterprises (147 people). Table 3 shows the impact of house demolition.

consultation with the local officials and affected people/village committees during the preliminary design and RP preparation.

C. Policy Framework and Entitlement 4. The primary objective of the land acquisition and resettlement program is to ensure that

the affected persons (APs) will improve their standards of living, or at least not be made worse off because of the project. This “better off” or “no worse off” objective is consistent with the laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the ADB’s Involuntary Resettlement Policy. The RAP is based on the provisions of the new Land Administration Law of 1998, the following associated laws and regulations also apply to resettlement under the project: (i) Heilongjiang Land Administration Regulation, effective in 2000; (ii) Forest Law of the PRC; (iii) the State Council Decision to Deepen Reform and Strictly Enforce Land Administration (Document 28 dated November 2004).

5. Based on consultations with local governments and those affected, a set of compensation

standards, based on the replacement cost, and was adopted by the Project implementing agency. The resettlement principles established for the Project are (i) land acquisition and involuntary resettlement will be avoided or minimized where feasible by developing and comparing a series of design alternatives; (ii) compensation and entitlements provided are

3

based on market value or replacement value and must be adequate to allow those affected to at least maintain their pre-project standard of living, with the prospect of improvement; (iii) land temporarily occupied and the period for disruption are to be kept to a minimum; (iv) the per capita landholding after land acquisition will be sufficient to maintain the previous livelihood standard; (v) where land allocation per capita is not sufficient to maintain the previous livelihood standards, other income-generating activities will be provided for; (vi) a preferential policy will be provided to vulnerable groups in such things as compensation, housing assignment, transfer, and employment; (vii) all those affected will be adequately informed about eligibility, compensation rates and standards, livelihood and income restoration plans, and project timing; and (viii) close monitoring and timely actions will be carried out to identify and resolve any problems.

6. Specifically, the compensation for permanent arable land acquisition is set at 10 times the

Annual Average Output Value (AAOV) in the past three years, and this is combined with a resettlement subsidy calculated at 6 times the AAOV for all types of arable land. The compensation for forest land includes four parts: reforestation fee, resettlement subsidy, land compensation and forest compensation. At present, all the compensation for forest land has been paid to the State Forestry Administration and affected forest bureaus. EA have got the forest land using approval document. Any income lost from temporary arable land occupation will also be paid in cash to the APs at a rate of 2 times the AAOV. As soon as the construction is completed, the land will be returned to the users in its original form.

7. Housing compensation will not be deduced for depreciation, and people will be allowed to

salvage materials from their old houses. Relocation will provide an opportunity to improve current housing conditions. The households will also receive a transfer and transportation allowance. These households will be relocated to another site within their original village. All infrastructures, facilities, and other assets will be compensated at replacement rates, without any deduction for depreciation, to allow full reconstruction by the owners.

8. For land acquisition, part of the compensation will be paid to the affected village and the

resettlement subsidy will be paid to the affected households. For enterprises, compensation will be paid to owners. The payment will be made in cash according to the appraised value of the property. Compensation for standing crops, auxiliaries and other assets will also be paid directly to affected farmers. Income losses resulting from reduced production/sales and wages caused by the Project will be compensated in cash.

D. Movement Strategy

9. The resettlement strategy encompasses the restoration of livelihoods and income. Since the impacts are widely dispersed among affected villages and per capita of land holding is relatively high compared with other parts of the country, the actual losses will not be significant and land loss impacts could be mitigated and replaced. Therefore, all affected people will remain in agriculture. They will be provided with replacement land from the village reserve land or cash compensation. In addition to farmland allocation, agricultural measures include such things as developing new farmland, improving irrigation works, upgrading low-yielding farmland, and provision of training in agricultural technology. Income generation activities such as forestry, horticulture, livestock, and sideline businesses will also be developed to restore incomes and livelihoods for the relocated people. In addition, the APs will be given special preference for employment during construction and operation of the project. The Executing Agency (EA) and resettlement implementing offices will take proactive roles to coordinate with local labor bureaus, employment centers, and enterprises/businesses to identify employment and businesses opportunities for APs who would like to seek off-farm employment. To stimulate the private economy, the EA will help the resettlers gain information and contacts regarding such businesses opportunities as private transportation, restaurants and service industries. This assistance will be especially important for agricultural households seeking to diversify their economy through nonagricultural means. All the workers will still work in the same factory after the relocation.

10. Based on the survey results, 659 vulnerable households have been identified for the

project. To ensure maximum protection of the vulnerable households during the land acquisition and resettlement process, the following special provisions are made for the vulnerable households: First, vulnerable groups will be given priority for employment opportunities with the project. Second, assistance will be provided by the village committee and local government for house construction. Third, Incorporation of the needs and interests of vulnerable groups in resettlement planning and implementation will be ensured through focused consultation and participation programs.

11. During the resettlement process, LBHCO will pay particular attention to the difficulties and

needs of women and women-headed households and will formulate and implement appropriate programs through various consultations with women. The programs for women will include the following: (i) women will be given high priority for employment opportunities generated by the project, (ii) special financial incentives will be provided for new small businesses/enterprises developed by women from the affected households, according to the preferential policies of local government.

12. To respect their mores, keep their social relations, all the affected minorities will be

rearranged in the original village groups. All of the minorities belonging to vulnerable groups will get special assistance in economic rehabilitation and they will be given priority to career training.

E. Resettlement Cost and Fund Management

13. The cost estimate for land acquisition and resettlement is $ 38.6 million, equivalent to CNY 313 million, including contingencies, taxes and fees for resettlement administration. These land acquisition and resettlement cost will be included as part of total project cost. According to the compensation policies and standards defined in the resettlement plan, the payment and usage of compensation funds will be carried out under the supervision of the internal monitoring agencies, with regular review by the external monitoring agency. Detailed measurement surveys will be conducted in each village, enterprise, and the compensation contracts will be negotiated and signed with village committees, households and enterprises.

F. Information Disclosure, Participation and Grievance

14. The people affected will be notified about the key elements of the RP prior to ADB loan appraisal. On various occasions during meetings, interviews, focus group discussions, public consultation workshops, and community consultation meetings, local representatives have participated in the planning and concerns have been integrated into the RP. The draft RP and Resettlement Information Booklet (RIB) were disseminated to affected households and village offices in December 2005. The information booklet contains the resettlement scope, project schedule, compensation rates for land and other assets, relocation and economic rehabilitation strategies, and grievance redress mechanisms.

15. When grievances arise, the APs may submit an oral or written complaint first to the village

committee. If the village can not solve the issue, it can be taken to the township government. If the grievance is still unresolved, they can seek redress at the county land administration bureau. The appeal must be replied within 2 weeks. If any AP is not satisfied with response or if the complaint is of a serious nature, LBHCO will try to solve the problem. If the grievance is still not resolved satisfactorily, as a last resort, final redress may be sought in the civil courts, in accordance with the Civil Procedure Act.

G. Institutional Responsibilities

16. The project resettlement office (PRO) within LBHCO will coordinate the planning, implementation, internal monitoring and evaluation, financing and reporting of land acquisition and resettlement. At the county level, the county land administration bureau will be responsible for implementing the RP. They will work closely with relevant township and village resettlement offices/forest stations, which will be responsible for delivering entitlements, selecting new housing sites, monitoring development of replacement land, and implementing other economic measures among both the affected and the host villages.

H. Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)

17. The Executing Agency and the RP implementing agencies will take full responsibility for the internal monitoring to ensure that the project complies with requirements described in the RAP.

18. An independent monitoring agency will be engaged by the EA to undertake resettlement

supervision, monitoring, and evaluation for the project. External monitoring will be undertaken biannually and will include at least 20% of families in villages/forest stations affected by land acquisition and resettlement. At the end of each monitoring exercise, a report will be submitted to the EA, which will forward a copy to the ADB. The report will provide information regarding whether resettlement objectives have been achieved and the relocated families have achieved equal or better livelihoods and living standards.

I. Implementing Plan

19. Resettlement implementation will be scheduled to precede the section project construction schedules. Resettlement activities will commence in June 2006. Resettlement implementation will be completed prior to component construction.

I Brief Introduction of the Project

1.1 Introduction

In accordance with laws and regulations of P.R.C, ADB policies on involuntary resettlement, other principles regarding social securities and related social aspects, this resettlement plan is developed in reference to PRC’s laws/regulations and local governments’ policies on land acquisition and resettlement. This plan describes a policy framework to mitigate the adverse impacts caused by the planned Jixi to Baiquan Highway Project through series of remediation measures. Also the resettlement plan for the affected people and rehabilitation plan for the seriously affected villages are involved in the framework including how and when to take these measures. As ADB and IA are concerned, the primary purpose of resettlement plan is to ensure the people who unavoidably lose lands or properties in the development program have the same or better livelihood and living standards compared with that under “non-projects” situations. All the policies, suggestions and compensation measures in this resettlement plan are oriented to this purpose. The implementation agency has organized wastewater treatment project resettlement Leading Group and Office to construct and manage this Project. The resettlement office of the Project will directly assume the responsibility for the preparation, implementation, internal monitoring and financing of the resettlement plan. The RP includes all of the contents in various aspects of land acquisition, relocation and resettlement induced by the planned Project. The RP is studied out on the basis of preliminary design report of the Project and the public participation in the affected area and the socio-economic survey in the relocated area. The RP is compiled on the following basis, (1) Land Administrative Law of P.R.C January 1st 1999 in effect; (2) Forest Law of P.R.C January 1st 1985 in effect; (3) Heilongjiang Land Administrative Regulations January 1st 2000 in effect; (4) Notice on the Relevant Issues of Accepting Four Types of Costs for Forest land Acquisition and Use, December 2nd 1992[303], Heilongjiang Forest and Financial Co-Ordinance, Heilongjiang Forest Department, Pricing Bureau and Financial Department; (5) Heilongjiang Accepting and Using Management Methods for Farmland Reclamation Cost, Heilongjiang Land Resource, No111[2001]; (6) Heilongjiang Prevention Regulations for Basic Farmland, (updated), June 30th 1995; (7) Notice on the Printing and Distribution of Heilongjiang Land Reclamation Cost Accepting Rate (interim), August 12th 1991, Heilongjiang Land Resource Administrative Bureau, Heilongjiang Financial Bureau, Heilongjiang Pricing Bureau, Heilongjiang Agricultural Committee; (8) Notice on the Printing and Distribution of Heilongjiang Land Administrative Cost Accepting Management Methods, June 20th 1995, Heilongjiang Land Resource Administrative Bureau, Heilongjiang Pricing Bureau, Heilongjiang Financial Bureau; (9) ADB Involuntary Resettlement and Resettlement Handbook; (10) Heilongjiang Annual Average Output Value Standard of Every County, No.36[2000], Heilongjiang Land Resource Administrative Bureau, August 16th 2000.

1.4 Measures to Mitigate the Impact

1.4.1 Measures to Minimize Land Acquisition

Taking full consideration of the local governments’ demands on the highway, PMO has entrusted DI to carry on several reconnaissance and verification, and then after full verification with Heilongjiang Development and Reform Committee, Heilongjiang Provincial Communication Department, technical assistance (TA) experts of ADB, the final program of the highway direction is determined. Mainly it observed the following principles. i. The highway has not directly gone through city, township, populous villages, schools, hospitals, mines and large-scale enterprises. ii. The highway is constructed far away from the scenery resorts and advanced, significant civilized and historical sites in prevention. iii. To minimize farmland acquisition as much as possible while to use the land with low economical profit such as deserted hills, beaches, wasteland and existing road as much as possible. iv. The highway is constructed far away from the villages and townships with quite small average land per capita as much as possible.

1.4.2 Route Optimization

i. During the feasibility study program of the route direction, the significant areas to avoid impact were determined in advance. And then due to the complicated analysis of engineering, environment protection and resettlement, the route direction program was determined preliminarily. ii. On the basis of the initial route direction, the field survey has been conducted, collecting the information on terrain, scenery, historical sites, mining resources and economical development plan and the local governments’ and residents’ opinions on the route direction. iii. The quantity of land acquisition and relocation has been measured in quantity, collecting the local residents’ opinions and the local social economy has been surveyed deeply and fully. The detailed survey on the affected persons, rural land, farmland, population structure, economy in the affected area has been conducted as well. iv. When selecting service center sites or interim engineering, DI and local governments, land resource departments, and others have unitedly carried out the field survey to mitigate the farmland use. After analysis and comparison above, and on the basis of collecting local residents’ opinions on the initial program, the program was modified to the final proposed program.

The education level of the 8 counties is preferable. The enrollment rate of the elementary school is 100% and that of the high school is above 98%, both of which illuminate that the governments paid fully attention to the nine year compulsory education. The distribution of the sanitation resource is imbalance. As the national poverty county, Baiquan took up more sanitation with the nation’s help. The details are shown in Table2-7.

2.1.8 Rural Poverty Situation of the 8 Counties

Along the highway Baiquan is a poor county at national level and Tonghe is a poor county at Heilongjiang provincial level. Thus the poor population along the highway accounts for quite large of the total population (Details can be seen in Table 2-8). It is regarded that the construction of the highroad will be a good opportunity for development in the poverties’ opinion, if the government reenacts some more assisted policy which can improve the living conditions there.

2.1.9 Urban Poverty Situations of the 8 Counties

The citizens living in penury along the road is a bit more. The lowest living standard in cities is very low, because of the large number of the urban poverties along the road. Among the counties, the living standard of Linkou county is 110 Yuan RMB and that of others is 104 Yuan RMB which illuminate that the urban distress status will be concentrated on. The dominate

16

reason of the urban distress is the number of the workers who came off duty after the state-owned and collectivity enterprise reformed confront the re-employment which make the income of the unemployed person declined. See Table2-9.

2.1.11 Township Socio-economic Situations in the Affected Area

There are 36 villages and towns affected by the main road and the linking road of the project. The detailed socio-economic profiles are shown in Appendix 3.

2.2 Sample Survey on the Socio-economic Situation of the Affected Households

From May to June 2005, the socio-economic survey group had conducted a sample survey on 507 households in the 8 counties due to the project proposal and feasibility study report. In October 2005, on the basis of preliminary design, another 305 households were surveyed complementarily. This time, the survey mainly focused on the newly affected rural households after main road changed its route and those affected by linking roads. Totally there were 812 households were surveyed. The survey involved collecting primary data from selected villages and households. Two survey instruments were used: (1) a village questionnaire, administered to village leaders, and (2) a household questionnaire administered to individual households. The county and township officials provided full cooperation. The following selection criteria were applied: (1) strong representation of villages that will suffer high degree of land loss; (2) an even geographic distribution along the alignment; (3) relative inclusion of the least well-off villages and villages with significant minority populations; (4) a spread between rural villages and those nearer the county towns; and (5) an equal distribution of better-off, intermediate and poor households for household interview. Within each village, individual households were selected on the basis of their proximity to the proposed alignment. The survey included 20% of seriously affected people. Table 2-11 provides a distribution of samples households among affected households in 8 project areas. The sample distribution is 812 households with gross population of 3243 totally among the 8 counties (municipals). Details can be seen in Table 2-11.

2.2.1 Gender Features

The gender structure of the residents along the highway is proper basically and there is little difference between the male and female proportion. The male is a little more than the female but the utter amount is not quite large and the details can be seen in Table 2-12.

A detailed survey on social status and other situations of the women in the project affected area was done by women interview, symposium, questionnaire, etc. Generally speaking, women in the project area basically have the similar social status with men. Family’s important affairs are decided by husbands and wives. Due to the large average land possessions of the household, along with a not highly mechanized farming situation, women have to participate in agricultural cultivating work in common with men. Women hold a welcoming attitude towards project construction universally. Because they think they can get the opportunities take part-time jobs during construction and men can be engaged in transportation, commercial or other activities to increase the family’s income after the road completion. The situation on land possession right in project affected area is the same as other areas in China. If a girl is married, her land will leave to her parents and cannot be brought with her to her husband’s. She can only share the land with her husband’s family. This easily leads to the problem of “more family members with less land” in some families. In Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, the second round land contract has been finished by the end of 1997, and most of the villages carried out the approach of distributing reserve land to relieve the inequality. Married women can possess some certain land within the actual situation in this way. The education opportunity between boys and girls is equal. However girls are prone to enter technical school for an employment as soon as possible after junior high school. While boys are more likely to be expected to enter senior high school and further be admitted to university. The problems women concern according to the survey include:

（1） Compensation rate will be based on the land annual average output value; （2） New house can be built near the road and the distance between new house

site and farmland or children’s school not be farther than before; （3） Detailed policies on land expropriation and house remove be made public to

the affected households in time and appeal channel be provided; （4） Building material of old houses can be used in new house construction.

Compensation be provided during construction; （5） House remove not be arranged at winter; （6） Short term job opportunities be offered during construction; （7） Bold safety bulletin be set or measurements be taken during construction to

avoid affecting children’s safety; （8） Technical training covers the items suitable for women, such as tailoring,

19

barbering, etc.

2.2.2 Age Structure Feature

Table 2-13 showed out evidently that the residents aged from 17 to 30 accounts for 29.2% of the total farmers along the highway, those aged from 31 to 50 accounts for 34.9%, and that the youth is a quite high proportion of the total population. The labor force is relatively rich enough to rehabilitate after land acquisition and relocation.

2.2.5 Employment Feature

Inhabitants living along the highway basically are agricultural population, who engaged in planting and breeding. Embarking on the agriculture is the major fashion of employment for the local people. We can validate it correspondingly from the income constitutes of the peasants. In the idle farming seasons， many farmers go out to hunt a job. Although the income of the secondary industry and the service industry offer a certain income, most of which arise from being employed by others, in contrast, the income from the salaries and the secondary industry is a little. As a result, the proportion of the population who engage in the secondary industry and tertiary industry is small. There will be a convenient transportation and faster commodities circulation both of which can attract many local labors transferred to the secondary and tertiary industry to explore the new employment approach and income source after the high road built up.

2.2.6 Population of Affected Enterprises and Institutions

In the project area there are 11 enterprises affected by the LAR among which most of the enterprises is small and private-owned with not many staff in them. Among the 11, 4 have been ceased business or production and the other 7 will be demolished with buildings, but the impact on them is not severe. To rent or construct new workshops is not difficult, which is helpful for timely rehabilitation. And therefore it will do no impact on the enterprises’ normal production, let along any heavy impact on the employed population of the enterprises.

1 Income from labor service refers to the income which the APs get from temporary jobs. Meantime, some APs have long-time or contracted jobs and can get wages.

2.2.8 Expense Structure

The expense structure of the sample households is consistent with the income standard of the farmers in the current period. It can be seen from Table 2-18 that the productive expense of the farmers accounts for the most part of the total expense. Seen from the consumptive expense, the rural family consumptive standard along the highway is quite lower; while seen from the consumptive structure, the productive expense is quite higher than the living expense and the productive expense is headed by the agricultural productive expense. Details can be seen in Table 2-19.

3.9 Socio-economic Impact Analysis of LAR

3.9.1 Affected Minorities

Among the 130 administrative villages along the highway, the Project will affect 659 households of minorities mainly Korean and a little part of Manchu nationality. Seen from the situation of household survey, the Korean population gathers in a few nationality villages. Within the mixed residence between Han and minor nationalities, the minority has the same equal rights in land allocation, children schooling and politics. Especially the Korean has their own special schools and their land resource occupancy is quite higher than that of the Han. To mitigate the impact on their mores and habits, social relations as much as possible and to keep their farming dimensions, the APs will be kept in their original community for resettlement or rehabilitation.

3.9.2 Affected Poor Population

The Project will affect 329 households of poor population. The distribution of the poor population can be seen in Table 3-12. For the poor and vulnerable groups, a series of measures will be taken to assist them to make them get profit finally and keep their living standard improved. The measures include the following:

i. They will firstly gain the exchange land in the same quantity and quality from the reserve land;

ii. For the relocated households belonging to the vulnerable groups, the IA of the Project will entrust the relevant towns and villagers to supply physical assistance during house reconstruction and movement;

iii. For all vulnerable groups, the IA will supply special subsidy to them for house reconstruction to keep their living standard. The subsidy standard will be determined due to the actuality and need.

iv. The livelihood rehabilitation training for the APs will give priority to the need of the vulnerable groups for them to master the special skills for livelihood as much as possible and to remove the poverty.

v. The APs of vulnerable groups will be given priority to be employed during implementation and operation. The local government and village committee will help gain the small amount of loans by Poverty Reduction Office and the Women ’s Federation, providing help and guide for their starting an undertaking, avoiding

investment risk as far as possible;

3.9.3 Impact Analysis of Land Acquisition

The Project will acquire 7987.48mu cultivated land totally, accounting for 38.29% of the total land acquired. Along the road, 22858 people will lose part of their land. Among the affected towns, the maximum average farmland per capita holding amounts to 8.5mu, and the minimum is 2.8mu; on average it is 5mu or so. For affected farmers, the loss of per capita is 0.35mu, accounting for 8%. The impact of the land acquisition is limited, and therefore the actual affected households only have little land to be acquired and thus little impact. In affected areas, the village collective or village groups have sufficient reserve land which can be given to replace the loss, if required. Since the land occupancy is quite small relatively and the land acquisition will do no severe impact on the villages. In analysis, among the 140 affected village groups along the main road only 8 village groups will have more than 5% of the farmland acquired, which causes no extreme change to their living. On the contrary, the development opportunity and compensation fund induced by the construction of the highway will enable them participate in many other varieties of non-agricultural production to create more opportunity of income increase.

3.9.4 Impact Analysis of Resident’s House Demolition

In general, the house demolition and movement dimension are relatively small. The Project will affect 135 rural households and 66 urban households. The houses to be demolished are distributed in a scattered way along the highway. In the affected villages and groups, it is very easy to find the housing plot suitable for construction of houses, and they will be resettled along the highway or close to the current villages and groups. The urban residents involved in demolition can get compensation at the replacement value and they can purchase houses in the urban real estate market. The APs are mostly living in simple houses at the outskirts of town. Houses are similar to rural houses. Among the 66 urban AHs, 64 households are in Tonghe county, while 1 household in Baiquan county and 1 household in Fangzheng county. Generally speaking, the average replacement price of brick structure house is 550-600 yuan/m2 nearby the affected communities in the market. The compensation will be enough for them to buy new house.

3.9.5 Impact Analysis of Enterprises’ House Demolition

The project affects 11 enterprises with 147 workers totally. In which, four was in cessation of business and thus there is no actual impact on them. Other 7 factories are small factories, with a few emloyees. Tonghe Agricultural Machine Company has had enough reserve land and to rebuild the houses. Two affected factories will rent new workshop in the county economic development zone. Other 4 factories will be rehabilitated on the land provided by the present village collectivities.

3.9.6 Impact Analysis of Forest Land Acquisition

The project will acquire 9,192.7 mu forest land which accounts for 44.07%. Also 912.39 mu cultivated land will be acquired. Forest bureaus are state-owned enterprises and belong to the Heilongjiang Province Forest Department. The forest is forbidden to be cut down for selling according to the forest protection policy. The government will distribute the national forest fund to the forest bureau each year. For the forest workers, the main income comes from planting, such as soybean and rice. So forest land acquisition will not affect the forest workers’ income directly. The proposed highway will benefit the economic development of the forest farm. At present, some forest production can’t be sold well due to poor road access.

4 Legal and Policy Framework

Legal and policy framework for this project has two sets of sources: PRC’s laws and regulations and ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement. The purpose of this chapter is aimed to describe demolition and resettlement policies and strategy concerning land acquisition and compensation. The implementation of resettlement activities will be carried out strictly and consistently with the compensation rate and resettlement program stipulated in this RP.

II. Temporary Land Use, The compensation standard for temporary land use is specified in Table 4-6. This excludes the cost of restoring the land to its previous condition, which is the responsibility of the civil works contractor. Each contractor deposits a sum of money with the county land bureau, to ensure the land is properly restored. This fund will be given back to the contract if the restoration works were done by contract itself. The contract can request village and farmland to do parts of restoration work and pay the cost to them. The temporary land restoration fund is included in the budget of the RP.

6 Resettlement and Rehabilitation Plan

Based on the wide negotiation and consultation with the APs, and due to the resettlement programs proposed by every affected village and the existing policy, law and regulations, and combined with the ADB requisitions on resettlement, the TA group and IA has compiled the RP with the assistance of the DI and county/municipal and township governments.

6.1 Objectives and Tasks

6.1.1 Resettlement Objectives

The overall objective of the resettlement and rehabilitation is to ensure that the living and production base of the affected area be rehabilitated, affected laborers be reemployed, and the incomes and living standards of the APs be increased or at least be at the level before land acquisition. Currently the rural population in the affected area is mostly working in agricultural production and their income comes from planting, economically profitable forestry and breeding industries. Based on the actual productive and living standard of the every affected village, the corresponding village/group development plan is to be worked out to realize the following resettlement objectives. I. The productive standard of the resettlers will be restored before the resettlement; II. The APs incomes will be restored to be the level before resettlement; III. The affected public infrastructure, schools, hospitals, social safeguard, natural environment and traffic situations will be improved to some extent after movement; IV. Those families affected by house demolition will have their living environment improved by the resettlement; V. For the enterprises, it is to mitigate the damage induced by the LAR and if inevitable the cessation lost will be compensated and the enterprises will be properly resettled for reconstruction to rehabilitate productive and business standard as soon as possible; VI. The rural productive land to be temporarily used will be recovered by EA for farming with rehabilitation and increase the APs’ productive and business activities, employment opportunity and economic income as much as possible.

6.1.2 Resettlement Tasks

In the Project there are 5,663 households with 22,858 persons involved in the land acquisition of the main road and linking road and 201 households with 802 persons involved in the house demolition. Among the latter, 135 households with 576 persons are in rural areas and 66 households with 226 persons are in urban areas. Apart from these, there are 11 enterprises with 147 employees affected by the Project.

The base of the resettlement for the Project is to respect the APs’ need to maintain or improve their current production and living tradition. The resettlement with land loss will take the readjustment of local agricultural structures (mostly of planting production, dry land changed to be irrigated and allocation of the remaining land within the village), and the resettlers will be rearranged in the original town, village and group on the basis of no change of rural registration of the APs. The LAR will firstly meet the resettlers’ basic physical living need. Meanwhile taking the long-term potential as start and making full use of the local resources, the LAR methods will be adapted to the local situations to explore the economic development means of the affected area. In the area headed by agriculture, in the premise ensuring the

foodstuff output rate, the second industry, forestry, pasture, sideline and the tertiary industry will be fully developed to set up proper industrial structure step by step. On the basis of skills training, the resettlers will make full use of the compensation provided by the government to ensure the living and productive standard be the same or be increased. The APs will try best to increase their own income steadily and sharing the development opportunity induced by the Project.

6.2.2 Resettlement Principle

Guided by resettlement policies above, the Project has formulated the following resettlement and rehabilitation principle for land acquisition and house demolition, i. The resettlement plan content of land acquisition and house demolition covers

resettlement and restoration of APs on the main road and 22 linking roads; ii. The local economic and social development, resource utilization, economic growth

and environmental protection must be considered for making resettlement of land acquisition and house demolition. Considering local specific circumstance, make a feasible plan, to restore or improve their economic production, and create the basic condition for the long-term development;

iii. The base of resettlement plan for land acquisition and house demolition is to “be beneficial to production, convenient for life”.

iv. The standard and scales of restoration are to restore the original scale and levels in principle, at the same time, still pay attention to thinking continual development locally, to satisfy certainly the need in future.

v. The relationship between nation, collective and individuals is considered, also other relationship considered.

vi. Make use of the local resources well, such as constructing water conservancy establishment, new cultivated farmland, paddy field changed from the drought land etc. strengthening the agriculture development strengths, making displaced persons’ living level attain or exceed the original level gradually.

vii. Include clauses to improve life levels of affected persons, such as, women, national minority, poor population and other vulnerable groups.

6.3 Overall Rehabilitation Plan

In most affected areas, because the project construction mostly upgrade and reconstruct the existing highway, it needs only requisition limited land at the road line, and scattered houses need to be dismantled and removed, and most of affected families were requisitioned less than 10% of their land, and in the affected area, per capital of land holding is over country average, the project will not cause significant impacts to the production and life of most families and village groups. After debating with village families, groups, village, town and affected the owners of enterprise property, according to the suggestion of affected persons, thinking over the reality of affected area, the basic restoration plans as followings. i. All villagers who were affected by this project will be resettled in the original

community to keep the original production and life styles, keep the customs, habits and the social relations, avoid bringing affected persons unfamiliar feeling because moving into the new resettled area;

ii. Houses of villagers to be demolished will be rebuilt by themselves, and the building materials of the old house will be used freely according to their will;

iii. For the production, parts of village groups will readjust the reserve land and give these lands to families lost land. For the villages without remaining reserve land, who are mainly helped to change dry farmland into paddy field, adjust agriculture industrial structure to improve the land utilization, and provide them allowance for training them to develop non- agriculture industry etc. so as to restore affected persons living level;

iv. The urban residents can purchase the house in market freely after gaining

compensation at the reconstruction price; v. The affected enterprises recover the production as soon as possible after getting the

subsidy for moving equipments and loss from cessation of production.

6.4 Analysis of Livelihood Restoration Options

6.4.1 Natural Condition and Land Resources

The affected area is located in middle part of Heilongjiang Province, and there is a road crossed it from east to west, the affected area is quite large. This area is less developed in its economy correspondingly, especially its second Industry and tertiary Industry; the average net income per capital of villagers is equivalent to the average of the whole province, Due to low agricultural investment, few crop species, limited water conservancy facilities and flood, drought and other natural disasters, the production level of local farmers needs to be improved. Therefore, if adopt scientific farming methods, heighten the agriculture production investment, upgrade crop category, improve water conservancy facilities, improve the control standard of fighting a flood, strengthen the ability of fighting a drought, tap the latent power of farmland, APs could improve their production level and productivity Among the affected villages and towns, the maximum average farmland per capital is 8.5 mu, and the minimum is 2.8 mu, and the average is about 5 mu or so. Because road occupation distributing along the road as strips, so there is few land occupation for affected families really, and it affects not greatly. Averagely speaking, 8% farmland per capital will be acquired. Even if the affected families lose 20% of their farmland, land acquisition would not result in the serious influence in these villages because there is an abundant area of farmland area for most affected villages. Based on analysis, there are only eight village groups which land acquisition is over 5% of original farmland in 140 affected village groups. It would not result in upheaval in their lives to reduce few farmlands. On the contrary, the development opportunity brought after building road and compensation for land acquisition can make them participate into various non-agricultural production more actively, creating the new opportunity to improve their income.

6.4.2 AP’s Features

The affected rural farmers are mainly of Han and Korean nationalities. Since they have lived together for a long term, they have similar production system and living conditions. However the unique living habits and community formed by them are distinctive and not easy to change. As far as this is concerned, the affected households of the same nationality in different areas have a certain difference. In order to minimize the impact on their living habits and avoid damaging their social network or extend the original cultivation distances of the affected households, while planning the RP the affected households relocated will be arranged in the original village or the villages or groups nearby. The rural affected households will mainly restore or increase their productive and living standard by means of perfecting basic farmland facilities, readjusting agricultural structure, improving crop species and strengthen agricultural development power. In addition, the relocated households are encouraged to take part in the construction and service of the Project to meet the Project’s need of labor force and to increase their income as well. Therefore, the RP concentrates on the land base, encourages the relocated households to work in agriculture and to create development opportunities for the second and tertiary industries.

6.4.3 Economic Development Potential of the Affected Area

The natural advantage of the affected area is rich farmland and labor force resources, empowered with fairly good potential for development. In the future of economic development, the advantage of resources and improvement of traffic situation will be fully utilized for more types of production. For example, by means of increase input of techniques and the APs’ skill

development (education and scientific training and etc), the productive standard will be promoted for better development of agriculture, forestry and pasture, integrated development of trade, tourism and traffic; by means of utilizing land resource and developing production, the productive and living standard of the relocated households will be increased, and in the future the environment of the project area will be promoted increasingly along with the economic development of the affected area.

6.4.4 Infrastructure of Production and Living

I. Traffic The construction of the highway will affect the existing traffic means, and thus the designers have taken the corresponding engineering measure to mitigate the impact as much as possible. This includes constructing pedestrian bridges in the populated areas such as village main road, schools and hospitals for security of humans and livestock. Apart from this, for the local economic development, 170.388km linking roads will be upgraded, which will benefit for many people in the project area. Therefore the construction of the Project will not only improve the traffic of the local residents, speed transportation of goods and personnel and improve the local economic development, but also improve the living environment and infrastructure of the local residents after resettlement. The traffic situation after reconstruction will lead to further development of the project area. II. Water supply The area which the highway goes through mainly is the middle part of Heilongjiang province. The rural residents in the area are mainly using the well water, which is very convenient for them. Some parts of the highway will go through some zones of irrigated land with advanced irrigation system, and thus during the implementation of the highway the main ditches and irrigation system will be avoided from damage as much as possible. For those inevitable to be damaged, the Project will take the responsibilities to relocate and restore it to be the standard before movement as quickly as possible, to keep the irrigation continuous. III. Electric power supply All of the electric power supply facilities affected by the Project will be reconstructed due to the original function and dimensions, to do no impact on the electric power supply to the residents. IV. Medical service and education facilities The construction of the highway will not affect any facilities of medical service, education or other social services. The facilities of the affected towns and villages can be utilized as usual. For those nearby the highway, the Project will be responsible for construction of the connecting roads to ensure there is no any inconvenience to the APs. After the construction the highway, it is more convenient for the farmers in the affected area to go to the towns or counties (municipalities) for schooling and medical service. V. Fuel supply Most of the residents’ fuel comes from the straws of the crops and thus the highway construction will have no impact on the fuel supply for the residents.

6.5 Rehabilitation Plan for LAR

6.5.1 Production Rehabilitation Plan

In analysis of the data on geographic location, land resource occupancy, crop structure and residents’ income of every village, and on the basis of affected families’ and villager representatives’ opinions with full consideration of most of APs’ desire, there are two ways to conduct the resettlement: one is to pay the compensation cost directly to the APs and the other one is to use the compensation cost by the collective for readjustment of agricultural structure, improvement of crop species, increase of technical input and increase of agricultural output. In accordance with the related regulations, the farmland reclamation cost submitted to the

provincial government can be fully returned to every affected counties for the land reclamation and production rehabilitation of the affected area; about 70% of the forestry reclamation cost submitted to the provincial government can be returned to the affected counties as well for planting fruit trees or other economically profitable woods and production rehabilitation of the affected area. For this, the detailed implementation plan will be provided by every county government before land acquisition and the PMO will coordinate and supervise this. During the process of impact survey and resettlement planning, the resettlement planning group and the TA consultants had held some meetings to collect opinions among the affected counties, towns, administrative villages and groups. The meeting participants consist of officials from governments at every level, village leaders and affected villager representatives. Due to the discussions, the instructive relocation, resettlement and economic rehabilitation methods for the affected villages had been determined. I. Reserve land distribution and production development plan Since the land acquisition of the Project’s impact on every village or village group is different with each other, the economic rehabilitation plan is based on the impact degree, remaining land resource within the village and APs’ desire. By means of comprehensive survey on the affected village and individual’s desire in the socio-economic survey, the two different economic rehabilitation programs was determined. One is to disburse the compensation cost directly to the affected individuals via affected village and village group in accordance with the compensation rate adopted by the government and the farmland amount damaged. It seems that most of the villagers surveyed selected this program. If most affected families still have enough farmland left and they can develop new non-agricultural income sources, then the program is feasible because in this way it can not only ensure sufficient foodstuff consumption, but also it can have extra fund for other non-agricultural production. The compensation cost obtained can be utilized for development of other agricultural or non-agricultural production, such as economically profitable crops, pasture breeding and other sidelines. The other one is to distribute reserve land to APs. The compensation (land compensation and resettlement subsidy) will be disbursed to the affected village group for improvement of irrigation or development of non-agricultural business. The program will ensure all affected villagers still have sufficient land after farmland acquisition and the compensation fund for land acquisition is unitedly managed and utilized by the affected collective. The Land Administrative Law has stipulated the detailed procedure for the land transfer, and thus the local government and collective will take the charge. The APs have the right to choose reserve land or cash compensation. II. Other measures for economic rehabilitation In order to restore the APs’ production and living standard, the following specific measures will be taken by the resettlement departments. a) During construction, EA will encourage contractors to give jobs available to APs and use the local construction materials. The poor affected rural laborers with ability will have priority. Some men can find jobs as builders and women can do some small business, such as cooking food for the builders or selling some commodities. b) Local country credit union will give the resettlers priority, providing certain amount of loans, supporting them develop individual and privately owned economy, industry and commerce department, tax department will give them convenience in the application procedure, tax and so on. c) A series of training will be provided to the APs by the county government. The training activities include training of agricultural technique and non-agricultural skills. At present, in order to develop the economy and improve the farmer’s income, each county government will prepare the skill training plan and necessary budget. The 8 affected county governments all

ensure that the APs will have the priority to be trained each year and the training budget will be provided by the county government. The agricultural training will be conducted by the agricultural bureau, pasture bureau, poverty reduction office and All China Women’s Federation and local agencies and it made up with new crop planting, new planting technique, new pasture breeding and other agriculture-based activities. And the relevant personnel of county agricultural technique stations will be invited to have these trainings on agriculture and planting in the area demolished. By all of these means, the quality and quantity of crops, pasture mature will be increased and then the APs’ income and profit will be increased. As for the non-agricultural training, the skills of all varieties of sideline or work outside will be involved in. The training will be funded by the Project and the relevant organizations such as agriculture bureau, labor bureau, women’s federation and others are responsible for this. d) After the completion of the highway, the affected households will be given priority to be employed in the routine maintenance of the highway.

6.5.2 Resettlement Plan for House Demolition

In general, the house demolition and relocation in the Project is relatively small, because the affected 135 rural households and 66 urban households will be resettled in the original village groups or towns. Due to the actuality of every affected household and every village group, the resettlers will be resettled nearby and the village groups who have the households with houses demolished will supply assistance in provision and selection of housing plot. The compensation fund determined due to reconstruction price, area of the demolished and all varieties of subsidy for transmission and recovery will be supplied to the affected families directly. The disbursement plan by stages will be conducted by the local departments who are responsible for demolition due to the data and house reconstruction timetable. (1) Selection and standard of housing plot In the villages, there are 135 rural families need to be resettled in this project. According to the final survey result, there is a lot of remaining wasteland in the project area; all resettled families can re- settle down in the village group very easily and get housing plot free of cost. According to the impact degree and actuality of every village, affected families will be resettled near their original houses and some wastelands in the village groups. Local government will provide these displaced persons help in examining, approving and selecting the housing plot and servicing the new housing plots. For some families mainly engaged in the non-agricultural business, for example, some businessmen still have a little amount farmland, and they are rich enough. According to the government policy of becoming the small town, they can choose going to the near town and purchasing houses and house demolition provides them an opportunity to improve the residence environment on the contrary. (2)Plan for leveling housing plot and providing facilities

①ground flatting Since the house reconstruction will be implemented scattered the places with relatively proper geological situation within the village group will be selected out for ground flatting. After flatting the new houses can be construction. For the independent relocated households there is no need to develop housing plot organizationally and the ground flatting activities will be taken over by the demolished. For those villagers who have relatively quite many relocated households (10 over), the local county and township governments will supply assistance in united coordination and development of new housing plot and supplementary infrastructure.

○2 Civic facilities supply ＊water supply. According to the existing condition of the resettlers, new wells will be built by resettlers themselves using compensation received for the old wells. ＊electric power supply. Every relocated household will be connected with wire of 220v free of cost.

＊road access. Because the new house plot will be located near the existing road or residential plots, generally, no new access road will need to be constructed. ＊broadcasting and TV. Existing broadcasting and TV utilities will be used for the new housing. Affected television receiving equipment of resettlers will be reinstalled. ＊hospital and school. All of the affected rural households will be resettled in the original village group and after resettlement they can utilize the existing facilities of schools, hospitals and clinics, so there is no impact compared with that before. （3）House reconstruction While constructing the houses, the local tradition, agricultural production and socio-economic development demand will be taken into consideration. The construction will be carried out based on the wishes of the relocated households. The compensation for demolition, moving and transition subsidies will be directly provided to relocated households . During the house reconstruction phase, every household will be subsidized once with CNY500, including transporting cost for movement, subsidy for work-delay and cost for housing plot.

For the 66 urban households to be demolished, after getting compensation at reconstruction price and CNY700 per household moving subsidy, they can utilize the compensation to purchase private houses in market freely. Among the 66 urban AHs, 64 households are in Tonghe county, while 1 household in Baiquan county and 1 household in Fangzheng county. The APs are mostly living in simple houses at the outskirts of town. Houses are similar to rural houses. Based on investigation, the average price of brick structure is 550-600 yuan/m2 in affected communities. The compensation will be enough for them to buy new house in the real estate market.

6.5.3 Enterprises Rehabilitation Plan

There are 11 enterprises affected by the highways, but the Project emphasizes particularly on their own different impact degree. Detailed information is shown in table 6-1. I. Rehabilitation of enterprise to be moved completely Rehabilitation of enterprises with own workshops to be displaced. Enterprises in possession of workshops with complete property right and needing to displace completely include Baiquan County Liquid Gas Station, Suiling County Dahekou Rice Ltd., Suiling County Zhijun Rice Ltd., Suiling County Wanjun Rice Ltd., and restoration measure is to provide displacing expenses; provide house compensation; provide loss for cessation of production. Rehabilitation of enterprises with rented workshops to be displaced. After house demolition, they will rebuild the new factory on the land provided by local village since there are a lot of waste land in the village. The land rent contract will be still continued between the collective and the factory owner. Both Tonghe County Chunxiao Ltd. and Tongliao wood products Ltd. rent workshops, if displacing completely, they need to rent other workshops and install equipments. Restoration measures are, to pay for displacing equipment fee, to compensate for house and land owner, and to compensate for loss of cessation of production. They will rent new house in the economic development zone of the county where there are some houses available for rent. II. Rehabilitation of state-owned enterprises who have stopped production or are stripped down. Tonghe Paper Company and Tonghe Native Products Company are of this type, and they do not need production rehabilitation, and thus the compensation for houses and land loss will be conducted. III. Restoration of private-owned enter4prises who have stopped production. Tonghe County Jufeng rice factory and Tonghe County Jianhua Freezer are on the condition of stopping production, the area of the enterprises is bigger. Compensation for house will be paid to them. IV. Rehabilitation of State-owned Circulation enterprises. Tonghe County Agricultural machinery factory has huge factory area, and houses dismantled mainly are factory shed. Restoration measure is mainly compensation for house and land, and rebuild factory shed in

the same scale in the factory, so there is no effect on the normal business.

6.5.4 Economic Rehabilitation plan of Significant Affected Villages

Analyzing the effect of land acquisition, guided by ADB experts, the RP compilation group investigated 8 village groups whose land acquisition area is over 5% of original farmland area. The main purpose of investigation is, to analyze on the effect degree of village group after land acquisition in detail, and collect the original social economic information of villages and groups, on the base of consulting widely local opinion, set down practical and effective economic rehabilitation plan. The basic procedure of the project group is as follows, for each key affected village group, the plan group firstly discuss with village cadres and representatives of affected families to make sure the impact of land acquisition and displacing on village groups, esp. affected families. Then, analyzing on the industrial structure of villages and groups, income structure of village families, natural resources and local folk customs and so on, consulting with consultative experts, the plan group brought forward primary opinions. At last, combining the feedback opinions of village cadres and affected families, and debating with local government, the planning group made this final restoration plan. Table 6-2 shows village circumstance of affected village groups. Appendix 6 shows the village development plan of significantly affected villages.

6.6 Rehabilitation Plan for Facilities

The special facilities affected by the highway will include irrigation channel, tractor-ploughing road, electric wire, and telecom wire. During the early period of determinable study, the detailed survey on the proper impact on the APs’ living style had been conducted and the investigations and interviews had been held on purpose of collecting the opinions and suggestions from the local governments, relative departments and the relocated households. These suggestions have been adopted in the Project design and RP as shown below. All the facilities will be rehabilitated fully, mitigating the impact as much as possible.

6.6.1 Rehabilitation Plan for Irrigation Channel

The implementation of the Project will mitigate the damage on the irrigation channel as much as possible. For those inevitable to be affected, the culvert will be placed through the road and the parallel open ditch in the protection area will be reconstructed along the road.

6.6.2 Rehabilitation Plan for Electric Wires

In accordance with the preliminary design, where electric wire crosses the highway, the high pole will be used; where the electric wire affects the highway direction, the electric wire will be reconstructed in the particular sect. The relevant electric power department will take the charge of planning and reconstruction of the electric wires.

6.6.3 Rehabilitation Plan of Telecom Wires

Where telecom wire crosses the highway, the high pole will be used; where the electric wire affects the highway direction, the electric wire will be reconstructed in the particular sect. The relevant functions will take the charge of planning and reconstruction of the telecom wires.

6.7 Protection of Vulnerable Groups

For the vulnerable groups including the elder living alone, the disabled, woman-headed families, and particularly poor families, if necessary the Project will provide extra economic and physical assistance. According to the RP, the vulnerable groups will get special assistance from the Project, especially,

i. They will firstly gain the exchange land in the same quantity and quality from the reserve land;

ii. For the relocated households belonging to the vulnerable groups, the IA of the Project will entrust the relevant towns and villagers to supply physical assistance while house reconstruction and movement;

iii. For all vulnerable groups, the IA will supply special subsidy to them for house reconstruction to keep their living standard. The subsidy standard will be determined due to the actuality and need. For this, the IA has decided to reserve a special fund which is 2.5% of the overall resettlement cost for the direct and necessary help to the vulnerable groups;

iv. The livelihood rehabilitation training for the APs will give priority to the need of the vulnerable groups for them to master the special skills for livelihood as much as possible and to remove the poverty.

v. The APs of vulnerable groups will be given priority to be employed during implementation and operation. The local government and village committee will help gain the small amount of loans by poverty reduction Office and the Women ’s Federation, providing help and guide for their starting an undertaking, avoiding investment risk as far as possible;

6.8 Gender Issues

In the affected area for land acquisition, the sex ratio is comparatively balanced, men are 52% and women are 48%. In the country community affected by land acquisition, women possess same legal rights same as men, including contract for the farmland, gain education, family planning, participate into the country community election etc. various right. Most of women's labor force interviewed think their production and business self-determination that is same as men’s, and can freely choose to work outside, run small business, or farm in the village. Of course, in the village society, division of labor between men and women is different in the family living and production. Most of women choose household work, farming, and near the village they run the small business of some agricultural product, handicraft products, local products, but in addition to farm work. The men, especially young people, choose to go to other cities in China and work for earning money. The construction of this Project and land acquisition will not result in extra obvious impact on women. During the process of resettlement and economic rehabilitation, the desire of the female villagers is fully considered in the selection of new housing plot and final determination of the economic rehabilitation plan. During the socio-economic survey and public participation, the opinion of the female representatives was adopted well. Because of women lower skill and education level, little knowledge, there is limit for them to looking for increasing income methods. In order to provide convenience to income and living restoration of affected crowd, this project suggested various trainings. Detailed support measures are as follows: (1) Encourage women to apply for the small amount of loans held by the local credit union actively, to develop the tertiary industry; (2) In the period of project construction, the project owner will take village as a unit, organize women's representative to hold a symposium once annually, make the periodical interview with parts of families, at any time collect women's suggestion and complain, accept their various consultations. For the consultation about the resettlement compensation and economy restoration from women, the village women committee reports them to supervise institution or project resettlement office in a week, and they will make an answer or solve problem within one week.

6.9 Minorities

Since the minorities have been accustomed to the current social system, the compensation to the minorities will be the same with that to the Han nationality. However, all of the minorities belonging to vulnerable groups will get special assistance in economic rehabilitation and they will be given priority to career training. To respect their mores, keep their social relations, all the affected minorities will be rearranged in the original village groups. Also, special measures to enhance project benefits have been formulated in a Social Development Action Plan (SDAP) to be implemented as part of this Project.

8.5 Grievance and Appeal Mechanism

During the process of RP compilation and implementation, the public participation is to be encouraged. However in the whole process there are still some problems unexpected. To solve the problems effectively and ensure the successful implementation of the construction and land acquisition, a transparent and effective letter grievance and appeal channel has been set up and the procedure includes the following steps.

I. Step 1

If the relocated households have any rights been intruded at any aspect of the LAR, they can put forward their complaints and appeal to the village committee by oral or written forms. If just oral complaints, the latter will record down, review and give solution or decision within 2 weeks.

II. Step 2

If the APs are still dissatisfied with the decision of Step 1, they can appeal to township government/forest farm. After review, the township government/forest farm will give a decision within 2 weeks.

III. Step 3

If the APs are still dissatisfied with the feedback of Step 2, they can appeal to the county SLRB/forest bureau. After review, they will receive the feedback.

IV. Step 4

If the APs are still dissatisfied with the decision of the county SLRB/forest bureau, they can appeal to the PRO directly.

V. Step 5

If the APs are still dissatisfied with the feedback of the Project LARO, after they receive the feedback they can sue to the People’s Court following the civil laws procedure.

The specific appeal procedure can be seen in Chart 8-1.

The relocated households can appeal in any aspect of the movement including compensation rate and price.

Via the participation into public meetings and RIB received, the relocated households will be informed of the rights to appeal. Meanwhile, the complaints and grievance procedure will be publicized to the APs via media. The relevant departments will review the APs’ opinions and suggestions and the LARO at every level will treat the information in time and effectively.

Every organization will receive the APs’ complaint and appeal without charge and the related cost induced by this will be expended from the contingency.

9 Monitoring & Evaluation

In order to implement RP smoothly and realize the objective of good resettlement, regular M&E will be carried out in the whole implementation stage due to the requisition of ADB. The M&E can be divided into two parts: internal and external M&E.

The internal M&E activities will be conducted by provincial PMO and county SLRBs to ensure that the organizations involved observe the principle and timetable of RP to conduct LAR and resettlement. Its purpose is to keep the resettlement organizations good function during the implementation.

The external M&E activities mainly are carried out by the independent MEA to carry out regular independent M&E on the LAR and rehabilitation. The external M&E of the Project is taken over by HSSI. The independent M&E is done by the MEA separate from the resettlement IA to evaluate the LAR and rehabilitation and check all of the implementation in comprehensive and long-term perspectives. The independent MEA will follow up the resettlement of the Project to evaluate whether the resettlement is done in consistent with the relevant state policies and laws of LAR; whether it is done in accordance with the ADB policies; and whether the APs’ living and productive standard is increased or at least kept in the original level of non-project period. The independent MEA will put forward suggestions on the issues found out in the monitoring to the relevant IA to keep the issues solved in time during the implementation of resettlement.

5. Resettlement Organizations The resettlement organizations are significant to ensure the resettlement planning, management and implementation of compensation, resettlement and income restoration and reconstruction. The organizations set up for or involved in the LAR and resettlement of the Project are listed as follows.

Project Resettlement Office(PRO) vii. County State Land Resource Bureau (8 counties) (SLRB)and Forest bureaus viii. Township Government and Forest farm ix. Village committee and Village group x. Independent External MEA(HSSI) xi. Heilongjiang Traffic Planning, Reconnaissance and Design Institute (DI)

The resettlement organizational chart is shown as Chart 5-1 below.

Chart 5-1 Resettlement Organizational Chart 6. Grievances Redress and Appeal

During the process of RP compilation and implementation, the public participation is to be encouraged. However in the whole process there are still some problems unexpected. To solve the problems effectively and ensure the successful implementation of the construction and land acquisition, a transparent and effective letter grievance and appeal channel has been set up and the basis treatment procedure includes the following steps.

I. Step 1

If the relocated households have any rights been intruded at any aspect of the LAR, they can put forward their complaints and appeal to the village committee at oral or written forms. If just oral complaints, the latter will record down and give a treatment and they will give solution or decision within 2 weeks.

II. Step 2

If the appealers are still dissatisfied with the decision of Step 1, they can appeal to township government/forest farm after they got the decision and the township government/forest farm will give out decision within 2 weeks.

III. Step 3

If the APs are still dissatisfied with the feedback of Step 2, they can appeal to the county SLRB/forest bureau after they got the feedback.

IV. Step 4

If the APs are still dissatisfied with the decision of the county SLRB, they can appeal to the PRO directly.

V. Step 5

If the APs are still dissatisfied with the feedback of the Project LARO, after they receive the feedback they can sue to the People’s Court due to the civil laws procedure.

The specific appeal procedure can be seen in Chart 6-1.

7. Compensation Distribution (1) The Owner shall pay the compensation fees for acquisition and removal and other

expenditures to affected collectives and individuals through the county land resource bureau.

(2) Prior to construction of the new houses, the compensation fees shall paid to the relocated households

(3) The compensation fees for land acquisition and other facilities shall be paid to relevant collectivity and individuals before the acquisition.

8. Monitoring & Evaluation

In order to implement RP smoothly and realize the objective of good resettlement, regular M&E will be carried out in the whole implementation stage due to the requisition of ADB. The M&E can be divided into two parts: internal and external M&E.

The internal M&E activities will be conducted by provincial PMO and county SLRBs to ensure that the organizations involved observe the principle and timetable of RP to conduct LAR and resettlement. Its purpose is to keep the resettlement organizations good function during the implementation.

The external M&E activities mainly are carried out by the independent MEA to carry out regular independent M&E on the LAR and resettlement. The external M&E of the Project is taken over by HSSI. The independent M&E is done by the MEA separate from the resettlement IA to evaluate the LAR and resettlement and check all of the implementation in comprehensive and long-term perspectives. The independent MEA will follow up the resettlement of the Project to evaluate whether the resettlement is done in consistent with the relevant state policies and laws of LAR and resettlement; whether it is done in accordance with the ADB policies; and whether the APs’ living and productive standard is increased or at least kept in the original level of non-project period. The independent MEA will put forward suggestions on the issues found out in the monitoring to the relevant IA to keep the issues solved in time during the implementation of resettlement.

Compared situations before the project construction compensating of land, construction, infrastructure and others should be provided to APs including the aboriginal, minority people and foreigners owning the use of land and other resource.

iv) Treat any involuntary resettlement as one developmental project by any possibility. The resettlement plan should have right action bound and budget, and resettlement should have enough resource and opportunity to restore their houses and living as soon as possible.

v) Consult with APs about resettlement and compensation and especially think over vulnerable groups among APs. During the seedtime of resettlement and compensation plan the ability solving the problem of affected vulnerable groups should be considered.

vi) Put forward appropriate form of social organization and support furthest existent social and cultural organization of resettlement and local inhabitant. Resettlement should live in harmony with local society and economy as to reduce negative impacts on local social groups. The harmony is an effective mode which can bring developmental benefits to the local. vii) It is not the drawback for compensation that there is a lack of law files in due form. Confirm the people of compensation and resettlement as soon as possible or during the distinguishing phase as well to avoid some foreigners fishing in troubled waters to enjoy the benefit. Specially pay attention to the demand of the poor and vulnerable groups such as the aboriginal and help them improve their condition. 11.

I. Group 11, Fubei Village of Ni’erhe Town in Suiling Group 11 of Fubei Village has totally 42 households and 998mu farmland including 938mu irrigated land, and 60mu dry land and the average farmland per household is 23.76mu. There are 61.52mu land to be permanently acquired, accounting for 6.16% of the original farmland. In 2004 the average net income per capita in the village amounted to CNY2,621 and the main source is planting and then breeding industry follows.

quantity 23.76 1.46 22.3 1000 The table above shows out the theoretical calculation of the land loss for the group members. In fact there are quite great many reserve land and among the farmland permanently acquired by the highway some are reserve land and the actual decrease of the farmland does not amount to 1.46mu and the actual income loss does not amount to CNY1,000 either. Due to the estimation of the chief of villager committee, the average loss per household is about CNY600. Income rehabilitation Plan, i) Village Committee will utilize the farmland from the reserve land of the village group to readjust the affected households’ land. The grades and output of foodstuff of the reserve land have no difference from the farmland to be acquired and thus the income of the rural households whose land will be readjusted will be rehabilitated to be the level before. ii) to develop breeding and labor export actively. Currently there are only 20 laborers for export within the village group. Limited by the traffic situation and climate, the rural households only

hide themselves at home in winter, enjoying in the spare time of farming. Sine the average farmland per household is relatively quite a fewer, the farmers can only choose to go out work seasonally. After the highway is constructed, the village committee will organize the households to conduct seasonal labor export collectively. And if 30 laborers more exported, 4 months on average calculated and average income per capita is CNY2,000, the net income of the village group will increase CNY60,000 and average household will increase CNY1,500 around of net income. II. Group 7, Shangji Village of Shangji Town in Suiling The village group has totally 40 households and 320mu irrigated land and average household has 8 mu and the average farmland per capita amounts to 2mu. The highway needs to acquire 25.58mu farmland, accounting for 7.99% of the original farmland. In 2004 the average net income per capita of the village amounted to CNY3,500 with the main sources of rice planting, work outside, and family breeding. In the average income structure of the rural households, the planting’s contribution to the average net income per capita amounts to CNY1,800 around. The village committee organizes labor export annually and 1 person of every household, which contributes CNY1,700 to the family net income per capita, while the family breeding does a little to that.

Income Rehabilitation Plan, The land acquisition induced by the Highway involves many rural households and the impact of land acquisition has been taken over on average by all of the members of the village group. And only 3 to 4 households will be acquired with quite much land. Group 7 of Shangji Village has reserve land, and after negotiation with the committee village, it is decided to conduct land adjustment from the reserve land for the households whose land is much acquired within the group but no land readjustment will be carried out. Group 7 of Shangji Village is only 1km far away from Shangji Town, which is a significant distributing center for commerce and foodstuff, and in which the business, commerce and service industry are developed quite quickly. After the construction of the highway, it will further develop the tertiary industry. Currently the labor export of the group is mainly seasonal with quite high traffic and living expense, and thus the net profit of the farmers’ labor income will get certain loss. After the construction of the highway, the villagers can go to the town for laboring, even if they want to go out, the loss of labor income will decrease because of convenient information and traffic. And the loss of labor, in this way, will be decreased about CNY100. To develop poultry and livestock breeding. Since the whole village has all irrigated land with fairly good water irrigation network, suitable for breeding geese and duck. The village committee will assist the villagers to fetch in fine geese and duck. It is to have a try for one household to breed 15 geese annually with output in 1 year and the sale price per goose is CNY50, the net income will amount to CNHY500 above. III. Group 11, Shangji Village of Shangji Town in Suiling The group has totally 79 households with 310 persons and 900mu farmland originally including 700mu irrigated land and 200mu dry land and the average farmland per household amounts to 11.4mu and that per capita is 2.9mu. There are totally 49.33mu land to be acquired by the Highway, accounting for 5.48% of the original farmland. In 2004 the average net income per capita of the village group is CNY3,550 with the main source of rice planting and labor export. The planting contributes CNY2,700 around to the average net income per capita; the labor income contributes CNY700 around to it and the other sideline income contributes CNY150 around.

Quantity 11.4 0.62 10.77 558 Income Rehabilitation Plan, i) to increase laborers to be exported. There are quite many households in the group, but the labor exported is quite little, that is to say, in 2004 there are only 30 persons, the main reason can be attributed to relatively less farmland. The farmers is affected by the ideal of traditional land reliance, thinking that to working in agricultural production can get a certain income as well and thus they don’t want to leave home for work outside. After decrease of the land, the village committee stated that it will take measures on the villagers’ mentality to create convenience for the labor export, that is to say, to increase one person in one household by the 30 persons currently, amounting to 60 persons above, and only in this way the average net income per farmers will be increased CNY700 about. ii) to develop roadside economy actively. Group 11 of Shangji Village is the location of Township government, and Shangji Town is a significant distributing center for commerce and foodstuff and its business and commercial industry and service industry are developed quite quickly, providing quite many employment opportunity. Currently many farmers work in both agricultural production and service industry at the same time. After the construction of the highway, the employment opportunity in service industry will be increased and the farmers will obtain the increase of income. The village committee will utilize the compensation fund to do the plan township in order, to increase service facilities and to create conditions for the farmers to develop service and transportation industry. IV. Group 1, Lingyunshan Village of Tieli Municipality The group has totally 54 households and 1594mu farmland including 705mu irrigated land, 889mu dry land and the average farmland per household amounts to 29.5mu. There are 1320.6mu land to be acquired, accounting for 8.28% of the original farmland. The average net income per capita of the village amounts to CNY3,800 with the main source of planting. The irrigated land for planting contributes CNY2,900 to their net income, and the dry land contributes CNY823 to it and others contribute CNY100 around.

Income Rehabilitation Plan, i) The construction of the highway will improve the quality of the original land. Since the highway to be constructed will go through the agricultural land of Lingyunshan, the water system of the original land will be changed. The construction of the drainage facilities for the highway will make the dry land in which the internal flood takes place to be irrigated land, increasing the unit output of the land. Therefore the construction of the highway is welcome to the villagers, getting roads more convenient and low-output land to be that of high and steady production. ii) to conduct change from dry land to irrigated land. The village committee will conduct land change after it gets compensation fund for land loss. Currently the village has 130mu dry land suitable to be changed to irrigated land. After the change, the net income of the irrigated land will be 4 times more than that of the dry land and every household will have 2.4mu irrigated land more, which will increase framers net income CNY1,500 about directly. V. Jiangjiatun, Fazhan Village of Xingguo Town in Baiquan County (Poor village) The group has totally 28 households and 850mu farmland and every household has 30.3mu land. There is totally 93.01mu land to be acquired by the highway, accounting for 10.94% of

the original farmland. The main income source is from planting and only a little part comes from breeding. Currently the average net income per capita of the group amounts to CNY980. The low income happens because the actual land occupancy of the households does not amount to 30.3mu, and the village group keeps most of the reserve land and also because of the lean land with quite low foodstuff output.

Quantity 30.3 3.32 27 660 Income rehabilitation plan, i) to take two rehabilitation measures on the affected households, one is to adopt farmers’ desire. If the farmers would like to gain cash compensation, the village committee will hand out the compensation and resettlement cost to the affected households via villager meeting. And the other one is, if the farmers don’t want cash compensation but land, the village committee will conduct land adjustment from the reserve land, because there is a great deal of reserve land for this use. ii) to conduct land improvement and reclamation using part of the compensation fund. It is to reclaim the land with medium and low output by increasing fertilizer. In this way, the unit profit of the land will be increased CNY50. iii) Jiangjiatun is quite near to Baiquan town, after getting the compensation fund for land loss, the farmers can develop vegetable planting in greenhouse. Because of the convenient road, the traffic loss for vegetable decreases, and thus the farmers’ net profit will increase. The village committee prepares to utilize compensation fund for land loss, leading the farmers investing in vegetable planting. And in the first phase, it is planned to construct 30mu vegetable greenhouses, trying 1 mu for 1 household and it is estimated the investment will amount to CNY400,000 around. After the completion of the construction, every household will be increased about CNY1,000. VI. Group 9, Yongjiu Village of Baiquan Town in Baiquan The group has totally 39 households and 400mu farmland, all of which is dry land and every household has 10.2mu land. There is totally 50.57mu land to be acquired by the highway, accounting for 12.64% of the original farmland. The main income source is from planting and labor force.

i. The farmland of the whole village is dry land with low profit. After the survey conducted with the water affairs workers, the land reclamation from dry land to irrigated land can be conducted and the village committee will utilize CNY100,000 of compensation fund for land loss to reclaim 50mu dry land, trying 1mu irrigated land for 1 household. It is estimated that the average income per household will increase CNY700.

ii. To make full use of the convenient location and develop vegetable planting. The village belongs to Baiquan, and it is quite near to the location of county government, empowered with convenient location advantage and thus the average net income per capita becomes much higher than the other villages of the county. The convenient location advantage is helpful to develop vegetable planting, which makes the village as the vegetable basket of Baiquan county. The village committee prepares to have training and lectures on the planting technique of greenhouse vegetable. After land is acquired, 20mu greenhouse vegetable will be conducted, and every household will increase CNY300 as estimated.

VII. Group 2, Hexing Village of Sandao Town in Baiquan County Hexing village has totally 10 groups, 620 households with population of 2820. It has totally 11,448mu farmland and the average farmland per capita amounts to 4mu. The annual average net income per capita amounts to CNY900 and totally it has 140 poor households with the main source of planting. Group 2 of Hexing village has totally 74 households and 1,485mu farmland and the average farmland per capita is 3.6mu. The highway will acquire 84.8mu land, accounting for 5.71% of the original land. The land acquisition will affect 64 households and 1.3mu land of every household is acquired on average. The main feature is that there are many affected households but only low average occupancy per household. Analysis of village income: the village is the poor village of Baiquan county, which is the poor county at national level, and the average farmland per capita is quite small. The farmland is mainly dry land with crops mainly of maize and bean and there is only a little irrigated land. After survey, the annual average profit of the dry land planted with bean and maize is CNY200/mu, and every household have about 4mu farmland with annual average profit of CNY800/mu, labor income plus, the average net income per capita is only about CNY900. The main reasons for the low income of the village are, Because of traffic inconvenience, the farmers will get some loss while selling the agricultural products. Due to the estimation of the local farmers, the loss of sale price of foodstuff amounts to CNY0.02 to 0.04 around per half 1 kg, and taking bean for instance in the local area the output is about 0.3 to0.35 kg, the loss of bean trading is CNY60 to 100/mu around and thus every households will have loss of CNY250 around, therefore the construction of the highway will be a good means for the localities to increase income; the other reason is there is quite much land, which have only 50% of the profit of that of the irrigated land. Most of the local land is suitable to be changed to irrigated land. However the annual change of the reservoir capacity is quite big and the water cannot meet the need of irrigation, this year some farmers reverted the irrigated land to dry land, which is also a reason for the localities have no profit from the land; The group is the poor group with quite many laborers. Since the traffic inconvenience and information fluency, the farmers would only like to stay at home in the spare time instead of going out to work, causing low income of labor export become one of the reasons for the poverty; meanwhile the group has no income from township enterprises or other enterprises, thus the collective economic power is quite weak, and then it has weak support to the rural households. Income rehabilitation plan, For the feature of land occupancy in the village, the rehabilitation plan for the village mainly focuses on the entire income rehabilitation for the village group.

i. To decrease the trading loss for foodstuff. After the construction of the highway, mainly to set up professional rural economic organizations within the village group that is responsible for selling foodstuff, getting more profit from the trade of agricultural products.

ii. For the feature of land acquisition, combined with the opinion of village group, to conduct no land readjustment in the contract term. And for the 2 to 3 households who have lost much land, due to their desire, the proper land adjustment from the reserve land of the village group can be carried out, and if they choose cash compensation and resettlement, the farmers can develop other industries for sustainability.

iii. The land of the village is suitable to change the dry land to the irrigated land and the main obstacle is the water source for irrigation. After talking with the local water affairs department, it is learned that the underground water resource is quite rich for irrigation of the agricultural land. But only the cost for digging wells is quite high which costs CNY100,000/well. The village committee will conduct change from dry land to irrigated land to make up with the land loss.

iv. After the construction of the highway, part of the rural households will work in traffic and transportation industry to sell agricultural sideline products to get profit.

v. The village is quite near to Sandao town, which is in the joint area of Baiquan and Hailun. The trade of agricultural sideline concentrated here, which gets it

the distributing center of the sideline products. After the construction of the highway, the peddlers from outside will increase and the village will develop the service industry or others in increase income.

VIII. Group 13, Fubei Village of Ni’erhe Town in Suiling The group has totally 45 households and 1050mu farmland. There is totally 70.95mu land to be acquired by the highway, accounting for 6.76% of the original farmland.

Quantity 23.3 1.58 21.72 1020 The actuality of the village group is nearly the same as that of Group 11 of Fubei village. The actual income loss of the affected households amounts to about CNY700. Income rehabilitation plan,

i. The village committee will utilize the farmland from the reserve land for the seriously affected household to adjust land. The grades and foodstuff output of the reserve land have no difference from the farmland to be acquired and the income of the households whose land is adjusted will be restored to that before.

ii. To develop labor export and roadside economy.

For the forest bureau which depends much on forestry industry, a forest center is selected out to study out a rehabilitation plan. X. Shanghulan Forest Center of Tieli Taoshan Forest Bureau Shanghulan Forest Center is located in the southern part of Taoshan Forest Bureau and it has totally 128,205mu forest land and 30,900mu farmland. And the highway will acquire 16.2mu farmland and 298.4mu forest land. The income of the forest center comes mainly from the planting of bean and rice. The main income of the forest center is the national forestry fund and the forest center is the state-owned enterprise and the employees have taken part in the pension insurance and their average family income amounts to CNY2,000 around. While through Shanghulan, thee highway is to be constructed along the route of the original highway. The highway will acquire little farmland, while more forest land on the two banks of the highway. And it will affect 4 employees of the forest center. Income rehabilitation plan,

i. The forest center will utilize the compensation fund for forest land and farmland loss to set up forest-sideline product sales company mainly to sell special forestry products mainly hill potherbs such as cucumber fragrant and others. Currently the hill potherbs cannot be transported outside, and it has not become the main source of income. After the construction of the highway, only hill potherbs will increase CNY300,000 to 400,000 for the forest center.

ii. For the loss of the 4 rural households losing land, the forest center prepared to allocate special breeding base for breeding cattle and pig, or planting Chinese traditional medicine such as ginseng, five favors and the like.
