Executive Summary of Resettlement Action Plan

1. With a total length of 466.735km, Nanning-Guangzhou Railway (this project refers to the section from Litang to Sanyanqiao only) goes from Litang, a town in Binyang of Nanning, Guangxi, through the two provinces of Guangxi and Guangdong, 6 municipalities, 15 counties/cities/districts, 43 towns and 170 villages and to Sanyanqiao, a place in Nanhai District of Foshan, Guangdong. The total area of land expropriated for the whole railway is 27,776.548 mu, of which, arable land accounts for 47.63% of the total. In addition, the area of reclaimed land from old railway is 373.1 mu. Based on the estimates of the design institute, about 12,779.52 mu of land needs to be borrowed temporarily. The area of structures to be dismantled / removed along the railway totals 1,221,504m2, of which, the area of dismantled structures outside the railway sector is 1,220,322 m2, the area within the railway sector is 1,182m2. In the relocation of structures outside the railway sector, the area of ordinary rural houses removed is 426,311m2, the area of factory, mine and enterprise buildings removed is 689,069m2, the area of schools removed is 21,847m2, the area of urban resident houses removed is 31,630m2, the area of shops and office buildings is 51,464.8m2. The total affected population of this project is 25,784 people, of which, the affected rural population is 19,533 people in 5,745 households, the affected population of in 188 factories, mines and enterprises is 2,215 people, the affected population of 7 schools is 2,955 people, the affected population of 23 shops or office buildings is 431 people, and the affected urban population is 650 people in 210 households.

2. Nanning-Guangzhou Railway has a minor impact upon the various localities along the railway line. The reasons are as follows. (1) Railway is a line-shaped project, and such features of the project entails relative small impact upon the localities along the line; (2) the length of bridges and tunnels in the project accounts for more than 70% of the total length of the railway; therefore, the amount of land expropriated is greatly reduced; (3) the route in the mountain area is selected for the railway as far as possible, which greatly reduces the amount of land requisition; (4) even if the route has to go through the plain region, the form of elevated railway is adopted to minimize land requisition; (5) site as far apart from towns and centralized residential quarters as possible is selected for railway station, and if a route head towards towns or centralized residential quarters, it would be changed so as to go around the towns or residential quarters.

3. The areas of Nanning-Guangzhou Railway that need to be removed are concentrated at both ends of the railway, i.e., urban resident quarters in Guigang, Guangxi and enterprises and factories in Foshan, Guangdong (relocation of urban resident quarters in Foshan is concentrated on the site of Guiyang-Guangzhou Railway). In addition, in the rural area, the areas under major impact of land requisition and house relocation are concentrated in the sites where the 9 stations are located.

See Chapter III for details on material loss

4. This Resettlement Action Plan was prepared by Southwest Jiaotong University at the entrustment from The Ministry of Railways and with assistance from China Railways No.2



Institute Engineering Group Co., Ltd., China Railways No. 4 Survey and Design Institute Group Co., Ltd. and China Railways Engineering Design Consultants Group Co., Ltd. The preparation process of the plan covers socioeconomic survey, general survey on resettlement impacts and resettlement planning. The general survey covers all the 170 villages, related enterprises / shops and affected infrastructure. The various material indicators provided by the Resettlement Action Plan are all based on the preliminary design and field survey on the route by the design institutes. Such data are not final and may be changed with further improvement of the design and with the construction units entering the site, but such changes will be small adjustment instead of major change.

5. The policy documents formulated by the Chinese Government and relevant requirements of WB Operation Principles OP4.12 will be strictly observed in the preparation of Resettlement Action Plan of this Project and the later implementation of resettlement plan. The resettlement compensation standards set by this Action Plan shall be strictly followed in population resettlement, and any changes in the process of implementation must be subject to the consent of the WB. China has already formulated a complete legal framework and policy system with regard to land requisition, house relocation, population resettlement and compensation.Guangxi and Guangdong, the provinces along Nanning-Guangzhou Railway, has also formulated corresponding local laws and policies in accordance with the requirements of national laws and policies. The land requisition and relocation compensation standards of Guangxi are mainly based on Annual Output Baseline Data and Relocation Compensation Standards of Guangxi Zhuang Nationality Autonomous Region for Land Requisitioned for Major Infrastructure Construction Project (GUIFAGAIFAGUI [2005] 190), the permanent land requisition compensation standards of Guangdong are based on Land Requisition Compensation and Protection Standards of Guangdong Province (YUEGUOTUZIFA [2006] 149, July 2006), and the relocation standards of Guangdong Province are based on Measures of Guangdong Province for Implementation of Land Requisition Compensation for Traffic Infrastructure Construction (YUEFUBAN [2003] 46, June 2003); meanwhile, adjustments will be made on the basis of actual conditions. Excluding expenses for renovation of such infrastructure as road, power supply and communication, the budget for total expenditure of population resettlement of this project is RMB25.72 billion, accounting for 6.26% of total investment. It should be noted that the Ministry of Railways promised that there is no upper limit to the expenses of land requisition, house relocation and population resettlement and all actually spent expenses shall be reimbursed, as a result of the recent trend of year-by-year improvement of land requisition compensation standards in various regions in China. The construction of the Nanning-Guangzhou Railway will last several years, and if the land requisition compensation standards of Guangdong and Guangxi are improved during this period, corresponding adjustments will be made to this project. Appendix 11 provides a policy framework at the implementation stage for the greatly affected resettlement sites.

6. The following resettlement measures are usually taken to restore the production and living of the farmer households affected by land requisition. The first and priority resettlement measure is land-based rural resettlement, e.g., by such means as internal land adjustment, transformation of low-yield farmland, development of sloping field with a gradient of below 25 degrees, sublease of contracted land of farmers who serve as migrant workers in other places on a long term,



resettlement of farmers who have lost their land through development of new arable land with land requisition compensation fund, etc.; the second measure is non-rural resettlement, i.e., helping those farmers without conditions for land-based resettlement, e.g., affected farmers near railway stations, to take up business in secondary and tertiary industries or officially organizing them to work in developed regions; the third measure is social security. All the qualified population meeting policy requirements, whether by means of rural resettlement or non-rural resettlement, are entitled to social security. In addition to the above three measures, money-based resettlement is a more common measure in the current context of lack of farm land. In view that the regions along Nanning-Guangzhou Railway have a developed economy and farmers do not rely much on farmland and income from working in cities has become the main income source of farmers, money-based resettlement may still be accepted as an effective measure of resettlement.

7. The following three forms of resettlement are usually adopted for farmers affected by relocation. The first from is scattered resettlement, i.e., the affected people get compensation for replacement cost according to law, obtain house site provided free by the government and build new houses by themselves; the materials left after the old houses are dismantled are at their disposal. The second form is centralized resettlement, i.e., the local governments plan and design new rural communities in a unified manner in the light of new countryside construction nationwide, and the affected people build new houses on the specified site and according to unified blueprint with the compensation fund for replacement cost. The third form is resettlement of disadvantaged group, who are entitled to cash support of RMB2000 per household provided by the government and other assistance needed in house building, in addition to the above rights and interests.

8. Urban residence, factories, schools and shops shall be relocated and rebuilt completely based on market price, i.e., independent evaluation agency conducts evaluation on them one by one and they are compensated for according to evaluation price. The local government shall provide sites for those who prefer rebuilding, and those who prefer exchange may exchange for a new house with their old house on the condition of equal area (for example, the removed urban residents may obtain new houses by means of house exchange on the condition of equal area). The affected enterprises and shops as well as their employees shall be completely compensated for their losses during the period of relocation and transition. The principle of rebuilding coming before dismantling should be adopted in school relocation and rebuilding so as not to affect the study of students.

See Chapter VI for detailed resettlement measures.

9. The Ministry of Railways, Nanning-Guangzhou Railway Preparatory Group., the governments of Guangdong and Guangxi as well as the prefectural, municipal and county Resettlement Offices shall be responsible for carrying out and guiding resettlement activities of the townships and villages. So far, the local governments in the regions along the railway have set up railway construction steering organs. For example, similar organs have already been set up in Yunfu and other cities, where the government leaders are in charge of such organs and the heads of relevant departments constitute the members of the steering group. In other regions, though no



such organs are set up, the Development and Reform Departments under the local governments are responsible for relevant affairs during project preparation period. Once the project is started on full scale, the local governments of various levels will set up Railway Construction Supporting Office or similar organs if necessary, to support railway construction and carry out population resettlement activities.

10. The affected people have been informed of the possible impacts they may be subject to at different project phases and have participated in consultation. The stakeholders participating in consultation include heads of the households affected, village heads and villager representatives, departments of local governments, disadvantaged groups (including women and minority nationalities). Information on land requisition and population resettlement activities have been broadcast via public media such as newspapers, radio, public notice and township and village meetings so as to promote understanding and support from all communities in the project area. With the development of the project, population resettlement brochures will be handed out, and meanwhile, the resettlement action plans formulated by the local government will be made available to the public, including the affected population. The affected families may also participate in consultation and resettlement activities, including detailed survey, positioning of railway deck bridges, selection of resettlement sites and appealing. During the period of specific land requisition and population resettlement, the affected population and enterprises may appeal to local management organss, government organs, project owners, external monitoring organs and courts regarding any issues relating land requisition, house relocation, compensation and resettlement. In addition, the affected population will have frequent opportunities to discuss compensation and resettlement issues with representatives of various levels of project implemention and administration organizations through public meeting, hearing, public consultation, on-site investigation, etc.

11. Nanning-Guangzhou Railway Preparatory Group. of the Ministry of Railways will, together with the Resettlement Offices of the local governments at various levels, be responsible for internal monitoring and supervision of compensation funds extension, house rebuilding, land requisition and appealing activities of affected population. The Ministry of Railways will prepare quarterly monitoring report and submit it to the World Bank until the end of resettlement. Thereafter, the Ministry of Railways will submit to the World Bank a Post-resettlement Evaluation Report. In addition, the Ministry of Railways will entrust an independent monitoring agency to carry out the external monitoring and evaluation activities, which include, baseline data survey, review and verification of compensation fund payment, review and evaluation of resettlement plan and implementation results, assessment of appealing procedure and response / degree of satisfaction of affected population toward their rights and interests and compensation, assessment of income restoration of affected population as well as lessons for future resettlement activities. The external monitoring agency shall submit a monitoring and evaluation report to the Ministry of Railways and the World Bank every half year until the completion of the resettlement project and shall, submit a post evaluation report to the Ministry of Railways and the World Bank within less than two years thereafter.



Chapter I Overview

1.1 Project Description

1. Nanning to Guangzhou railway (It is only referred to the segment from Litang to Sanyanqiao in the project) is the backbone railway line from Guangxi, Yunnan to the coastal area in the southern part of China. It crosses Guangxi and Guangdong provinces. In the west, it starts from the Litang West Station of the proposed Liu-Nan special passenger line. Traveling along the Xijiang River basin, it passes the following places in Guangxi: Guigang city, Guiping county, Pingnan county, Teng county and Cangwu county in Wuzhou city; it passes the following places in Guangdong: Yu’nan county in Yunfu city, Yun’an county and Yuncheng district, getting to Gaoyao city, Duanzhou district in Zhaoqing city. In Dinghu district, it will set up the New Zhaoqing station jointly with the Gui-Guang line. After that, it is planned to go parallel with the Gui-Guang No.4 line (to be constructed) to get to New Sanshui district. The cargo train will go to Jiangcun marshalling station through Guangzhou-Zhuhai railway, while the passenger train will go to Guangzhou new station through Xin Foshan and Sanyanqiao. The total length of the segment from Litang to Sanyanqiao will be 466.735km. The western segment of the line may go directly to the western part and Yunnan area through the line between Hunan and Guizhou with the connection of Nanning to Kunming railway; the eastern segment of the line is connected to Guangzhou hub, through the specific passenger line between Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hongkong, through the coastal expressway to get further access to Pearl River Delta region and Fujian and Taiwan economic zones; it is the most convenient railway passage from Guangxi to the Pearl River Delta region in the 11th 5-year plan, and the convenient, rapid and capable new passage way from Yunnan and Western Guiyang region to the Pearl River Delta region and Fujian and Taiwan economic zone. Please refer to annex 1 to see the detailed routes.

2. Nanning to Guangzhou railway passes the following 2 provinces, 6 cities ( prefecture) and 15 counties (city, district): that is, Bingyang county of Nanning city in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Guigang city and Tantang district, Gangbei district, Guiping city, Pingnan county under its jurisdiction; Wuzhou city and Teng county, Cangwu county under its jurisdiction; Zhaoqing city of Guangdong province and Gaoyao city, Duanzhou district, Dinghu district under its jurisdiction; Yunfu city and Yunan county, Yuncheng district, Yunan county under its jurisdiction; Foshan city and Sanshui district, Nanhai district under its jurisdiction.

3. Nanning to Guangzhou railway starts from Xinlitang and ends in Sanyanqiao. 20 stations are distributed along the main line. 16 intermediate stations are for the purpose of handling the passenger and cargo transport business, 3 overtaking stations, 1 reserve station. The average distance between the stations is 30.82km/30.92km. The maximum distance between the stations is 39.259km (Guiping to Pingnan). The minimum distance is 16.5km (Baisha to



Guiping). The total investment of the project is estimated at 41.1 billion yuan. Project components covered under the RAP include railway tracks, tunnels, bridges, stations, including traction stations.

4. Pearl River Delta region, Hongkong and Macao, Fujian and Taiwan areas have the capital, industrial basis and service, management, and export-oriented economic strengths. Guangxi and Yunnan have the superior resources advantage and geographical advantage to receive the industrial transfer from the Pearl River Delta region, and serve as the critical points in the economic corridor for the cooperation between the Pearl River Delta region and ASEAN. It is highly complementary among the regions. The construction of Nanning to Guangzhou railway will closely link the economically developed Pearl River Delta region, Hongkong and Macao and Fujian and Taiwan regions with Guangxi and Yuannan in the western part of China where the economy is underdeveloped. It will be the bridge of regional economic cooperation. It is significant to enhancing the influence of “pan-Pearl River Delta region”, creating Beibu Gulf (Guangxi) economic zone into the new growth pillar of China’s economic development, speeding up the economic integration of “pan-Pearl River Delta region”, promoting the economic and resource exchange and integration between the two regions, realizing the geographical advantage complementarity and common development, building the harmonious society, implementing the development of the western part of China. It expands the industrial transfer in Pearl River Delta region as well as the development space of building the free trade zone with ASEAN.

5. Upon the completion of the special passenger line between Liuzhou and Nanning and the railway between Nanning and Guangzhou, and the expansion of Nanning-Fangchenggang railway and the railway between Nanning and Kunming, it will take passenger 1.9 hours from Nanning to Wuzhou, 1.3 hours to Beihai, 1.6 hours to Baise, 1.2 hours to Liuzhou, which will offer significant convenience for the passenger flow, logistics, information flow within the territory of Guangxi. Thus, the “2-hour economic circle” with Nanning as its center and the surrounding city cluster within its coverage will take shape.

6. The railway link between Nanning and the Pearl River Delta region mainly relies on the existing Li-zhan and Guang-mao railways, which is strained in capacity and long in detour distance. The inter-region lacks the railway passage of convenience, fast speed and huge capacity. Upon the completion of Nanning to Guangzhou railway, the railway transport distance from Nanning to Guangzhou will be shortened by 200km than the current Li-zhan and Guang-mao railways, by 156km than the express passage between Shenzhen and Maoming that is planned to be built along the coast of Guangxi. 1.6 hours and 1.4 hours might be saved respectively in terms of passenger transport time. It could be seen that the Nanning to Guangzhou railway helps to remarkably shorten the time and distance between the two regions, and enhance the passage transport capacity and quality. With the capacity expansion and renovation of Nanning to Kunming railway, the convenient express railway between the provincial capitals of Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong and Fujian will be formed. It is significant to increasing the scale of railway network, enhancing the flexibility of transport and railway market competitiveness, thus realizing the regional railway



development by leaps and bounds.

1.2 Preparation for Relocation Plan

7. The Relocation Action Plan (RAP) of the project was developed by Foreign Investment Center of Ministry of Railways of People’s Republic of China, assisted by Southwest Jiaotong University. Based on the arrangements by planning department of Ministry of Railways, China Railway Eryuan Engineering Group Co,. Ltd. (REC Eryuan), China Railway Engineering Consultants Group (CEC) and China Railway Siyuan Survey and Design Group Co.Ltd (CRCC Siyuan) jointly conducted the development of feasibility research document for the project. According to the division of labor of design, REC Eryuan mainly takes the responsibility of designing the segment (114.089km) between Xin Litang and Guiping (included), while CEC is to design the segment between Guiping to Xin Zhaoqing (285.713km)and CRCC Siyuan the segment (62.661km) between Xin Zhaoqing (included) and Sanyanqiao (excluded).

8. The project proposal has already been given the written reply by National Development and Reform Commission of People’s Republic of China (No. 【 2008 】 466 of NDRC Transportation).

9. With the close cooperation among 3 design institutes, Foreign Investment Introduction and Utilization Research Institute of Southwest Jiaotong University began to prepare the RAP in June 2008, completed the social and economic survey in August 2008, submitted the draft of RAP in October 2008, revised it repeatly according to the progress of initial design of project in November 2008, December 2008, and February 2009 respectively.

1.3 Measures to Minimize the Impacts of Engineering

1.3.1 Stage of Project Planning and Design

10. The construction of engineering will definitely involve land requisition, demolition and migration. Meanwhile, it will inevitably influence the original production and living conditions of the local residents. At the stage of project planning and design, the design institute and owner of the project have taken some effective measures to minimize the social and economic influence of the engineering construction upon the local conditions.

A. In comparing and optimizing the design schemes, the positive impact upon the local society and economy by engineering construction should be taken into consideration, and this should be considered as the key element in comparing and optimizing the schemes. The main cases are as follows:

The decrease of land requisition and demolition: at the feasibility study stage, the amount of permanent land requisition is 29,112.12 mu and demolition 1,289,678 square meters. Through optimized design, the amount of permanent land requisition at the stage



of initial design is 27,776.548 mu, 1,335.572 mu or 4.59% less than the stage of feasibility study; the amount of demolition is 1,221,504 square meters, 168,175 square meters or 12.10% less than the stage of feasibility study.

New Program for Zhaoqing: the previous program for Zhaoqing was for the railway to get to Zhaoqing railway station after running in parallel with San-Mao line. According to the program, the line will have to go through the city area of Zhaoqing, which would result in the massive demolition of urban residence, enterprises and institutions. The city plan of Zhaoqing city would also be undermined and urban development affected. In this regard, through the consultation between local government of Zhaoqing city and CEC, the previous plan of passing through the city area is changed into the new program in which the railway will go around the city to get to the new Zhaoqing railway station in order to reduce demolition in the city and not affect urban planning. Therefore, the massive demolition of urban residence, enterprises and institutions will be reduced.

Land Conservation and the Extensive Use of Land: The principle for horizontal route selection is try to be short and direct to shorten the distance of line and reduce the land use, such as the tunnel program in Wuzhi mountain, while taking into consideration those places with economic significance; the guideline of route selection is to try to occupy less farmland, such as changing the previous Litangping stop into Lixiu stop for Teng county station to try to occupy less basic farmland.

In the process of route selection, the extensive land use should be taken into full account. Then the land may be neighborly to the existing railway and road, and try to use jointly the transport corridor with them to save land, and try to reduce the “triangle land” and “coring land” generated from the transport facilities like the existing railway, road. For example, DK190+000～DK200+000 segment in parallel with Nanning to Wuzhou secondary road ( provincial road S304); DK208+000～DK221+000 segment in parallel with the northern part of the planned expressway between Pingnan and Guigang; DK216+000～DK235+000 in parallel with the southern part of Nanning to Wuzhou secondary road ( provincial road S304); the principle of the road is to try to pass round the village and reduce the amount of land demolished and settled; in deciding the direction of the route, selecting the wasteland and dry land shoule be taken into due account, and less fertile land and good land occupied, the basic farmland and cash crop zone be avoided. When the route passes basic farmland and paddy field, the design should consider to try to lower the depth of fill or adopt the means of bridge. The design of verticle section of route should take into full account various performances of motor to identify the maximum designed slope of the route in a reasonable manner.

B. Optimizing the construction design and shortening the construction period. The time for house demolition, construction should be arranged in a rational manner. The engineering, such as tunnel, which is of less impact of land requisition and demolition should be constructed first. Upon the basic completion of land requisition and demolition, the engineering with bigger impact of land requisition and demolition should be constructed



later.

C. In order to minimize the impacts, the strategy is adopted that the engineering, land requisition and demolition will be implemented in different stages.

1.3.2 Stage of Engineering Construction

11. At the stage of engineering construction, the construction institute will take the following measures:

A. Strengthening public participation. Before the construction of engineering, public notice will be issued in the project affected area and relocation area to clarify the commencement time of the project and the planned progress of engineering construction. The compensation policy for land requisition, demolition and relocation of Resettlerss will also be made public to be subject to supervision of Resettlerss and the existing residents of the relocation area.

B. Measure to reduce the airborn dust. In order to create the clean and comfortable environment for the construction site and minimize the impacts of engineering construction upon the surrounding environment, when the engineering construction is under continuous sunny and good, while windy weather, water will be sprayed on various construction pavements within the resident concentration area to prevent the airborn dust from occurring. The construction unit will plan and handle the transport route of earthwork in a timely manner. The overloading should be avoided in the process of transport. The measures should be taken to ensure that the earth will not fall and the earth will not be discarded to fill the land in the process to affect the tidiness of the environment.

C. The handling of site waste in the construction area. Because the project construction lasts for a long time and the number of construction workers is large, the construction site will produce a lot of sewage and waste everyday. According to the requirements of local environmental sanitation authorities, the engineering construction unit should clean up the sewage in the site of construction in a timely manner to ensure that the construction site is tidy and to avoid the breeding and spread of infectious disease.

D. During the period of engineering construction, the use of local materials should be given prioritized consideration. When it is permitted by the technological conditions, the local transportation and labor should be given priority. Thus the project affected people may directly benefit from the engineering construction.

E． Scientific planning and reasonable layout of discarded dregs and sand, living area of construction, construction pavement, the temporary land use should be reduced to make preparation for the reclamation of temporary land use in advance.

12. At the stage of project land requisition, demolition and implementation, the following



measures might be adopted to lower the relocation risks:

RAP is prepared for infrastructure (railway) projects within the scope of World Bank loan projects. The implementation of RAP will be carried out in accordance with the principle of staged construction.

Collection of basic materials should be strengthened. The in-depth analysis of local social and economic status and future development should be carried out. The substantive and feasible relocation measures in combination with local actual situation are developed to ensure that the engineering affected people would not have lower living conditions due to the engineering construction.

The internal and external monitoring should be strengthened, efficient and smooth feedback mechanism and channel be built to try to shorten the information processing cycle, thus ensuring various problems occurred in the process of migration implementation would be addressed in a timely manner.

The experiences and lessons of past relocation practices of the same area should be reviewed and summarized to try to minimize the negative impacts of migration.

2.3 Social and Economic Investigation

2.3.1 General Outline

37. This section introduces the social economic characteristics of the population who may lose their land or properties. Information regarding this comes from: field investigation conducted



during the stage of feasibility study by the Second and Fourth Institutes of China Railway and China Railway Consulting, and social economic field investigation by Southwest Jiaotong University.

2.3.2 Investigation by the Second and Fourth Institutes of China Railway and China Railway Consulting (2008)

38.The investigation conducted by the Second and Fourth Institutes of China Railway and China Railway Consulting has acquired great supports from governments of all levels and villagers along the railway. It is completed on the basis of the materials collected from Statistic Bureau, Development and Reform Commission and other related local government departments as well as the symposiums held with local government officials regarding the routes of the railway. The detailed themes include future industry development, railway route selection, site selection of stations across towns and townships, setting of pavements and culverts and reduction of cultivated land, especially the expropriation of basic farmland, the demolition of houses and other issues regarding promoting the development of local economies and poverty alleviation. Physical impact investigation by the two institutes is based on the preliminary engineering design. For land impact, investigation and statistics are carried out in steps with village as the unit. For private houses and buildings, household is taken as the measurement unit. Individual subsidiary facilities and forests are investigated with household as the measurement unit, and the public infrastructures and dedicated projects are gathered by the unit they pertain to.

39. Through the investigation, the Second and Fourth Institute of China Railway and China Railway Consulting have concluded that: as local social economic developments and environmental protection have been taken into account in the selection of routes, and under most circumstances the villager group would make land adjustments within the group to reduce the relative proportion of the expropriated land so that the loss of income for peasants due to land expropriation would not be much. These investigation results have all been fed back into the engineering design and resettlement plan.

2.3.3 Social economic investigation by Southwest Jiaotong University (2008)

40. In order to learn about the basic situation of resettlement households in the project zones and analyze the impacts of the project construction to local immigrants, Nanning – Guangzhou Railway Team from Southwest Jiaotong University has carried out cluster random sampling survey on the basic conditions of the livelihood of resettlement households affected by land expropriation and demolition according to the similarities of and the differences within the affected groups in the affected districts.

41. The investigation sample of resettlement households affected by land expropriation and demolition is selected by the method of cluster random sampling in the form of survey table, questionnaire and focus group discussions. The investigation team has carried out social economic investigation on the total 43 towns and townships and 170 villages (for the affected village list, see Appendix 9) affected by Nanning – Guangzhou Railway and 2,212 households with a total



population of 9,155 have been selected as sample households. Among them, there are 521 relocated sample households, accounting for 28.64% of the total relocated households; the number of sample households affected by land expropriation is 5,444, accounting for 31.11% of the total households affected by land expropriation (for investigation index and tables, see Appendix 5, and for sample distribution of sampling survey, see Table 2-2); besides, the investigation team has obtained opinions and suggestions on Nanning – Guangzhou Railway Construction from 309 people; they has also conducted screening on the social and economic situation of the total 170 villages involved in the project; by investigating the sample households and gathering the data, and integrating the preliminary design of the design institute and the field investigation on routes, they has obtained the influence quantities of physical targets such as the affected people, land and houses. The sample households has mainly included the affected types in rural areas and basically covered all the affected regions, thus they are representative and typical.

42.The investigation method of the affected population, land, houses and affiliated facilities, sporadic trees as well as dedicated facilities: based on the ownership borderlines of county (city, district), township (town, subdistrict) and village (residential committee) determined during the field investigation, summarize the influence quantities of houses and affiliated facilities and report the investigation result to the village, and investigate the number of households and the population involved in house relocation; send the land investigation summary to the village (residential committee); send the investigation summary of dedicated facilities to county (city, district).

2.4 Social economic characteristics of the affected population

2.4.1 General Outline

43.The data collected in the process of social economic investigation in 2008 have been analyzed by the application of peasant households’ livelihood, which have taken into account four different aspects of the social economic characteristics of peasant households:

(1) Human resource: demography and education/technique characteristics;

(2) Natural resource: land, forest and water source;

(3) Material resource: ownership of assets of producers and consumers;

(4) Financial resource: income and expenditures of peasant households (situation of loan acquirement).

2.4.2 Human resource

44.Along Nanning – Guangzhou Railway are mainly agricultural regions. Table 2-3 shows the total population of these counties and cities, the proportion of rural population, the expected rural population to be affected by the project as well as the proportion of the population affected by the project to the total population of the villages along the railway. The data in the table only include the counties (district) Nanning – Guangzhou Railway passes. Except Foshan, the rural population of other cities has accounted for more than 85% of the total number. The highest proportion of the affected rural population to the total population of the affected villages is up to 10.19% (Dinghu District, Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province) and the lowest is 0.74% (Cangwu County, Guangxi Province).

2.4.3 Natural Resources2.4.3.1 Land Ownership

48.By 1980s, the family-based contracted responsibility system had replaced the collective agricultural cultivation mode which had been implemented since 1950s. Under the family-based contracted responsibility system, the land is allocated evenly according to the size of each family. The land area is calculated based on the number of people but allocated to each household. The land in the village is classified into multiple grades according to its quality and location. Therefore, lands of different grades may be allocated to one peasant household so that the lands allocated to each one can be equal but scattered. Each household is to sign the contracting contract (the term of the contract was previously 15 years, and changed to 30 years in 1998), which entitles these peasant households with land use right. The land ownership still belongs to the previous production teams – also known as the villager groups. In some villages, 5-10% of land is not allocated to peasant households; instead, it is used as the mobile land of the villager groups. Such kind of land is cultivated according to the annual lease agreement. During the period of land expropriation, the land can be allocated to the households who are affected by land expropriation according to actual circumstance. The investigation shows that the there have already been great differences in the land adjustment mode and frequency.

2.4.3.2 Cultivated land, orchard and economic forest

49. The area of the land cultivated by the investigated peasant households totals 5950.7 mus. Almost all the peasant households have some paddy fields and dry land. Apart from that, most of the investigated peasant households possess some reclaimed dry land or sloping land of their own; 10% of the peasant households have orchards or economic forests with areas ranging from 1 to 40 mus (most of the trees are orange trees and some of them are pears or other fruit trees).

50. In the investigation, the area of contracted farmland per capita of each household is 0.65 mus. Added with the other agricultural land (such as sloping land, forest and orchards) that the peasant households own, the area of farmland per capita is 0.85 mus. For most peasant households, the cultivated land is relatively sufficient. Only in 3 districts the area of cultivated land is small, that is, 0.3-0.5 mus. Agriculture to non-agriculture resettlement shall be implemented for the affected people in those areas.

2.4.3.3 Forest

51. Among all the investigated ones, peasant households in some villages have contracted forest with areas ranging from 2 to 40 mus. During the field investigation, we have confirmed that all the forests in each village belongs to the village collectivity. In each village, there are one or two rangers who protect these forests.



2.4.3.4 Water source

52. The cultivated land in all villages has sufficient water sources. However in the mountainous areas, due to the high costs of agricultural irrigation facilities, the cultivated land is classified into dry land. For such kind of land, normal rainfall can hardly guarantee the harvest of agricultural products. Paddy field is considered to be the most valuable land.

2.4.4 Material resources 2.4.4.1 Houses and their subsidiaries

53. Most of the houses in the project region are of brick-concrete structure, reflecting the traditional architectural style in this area. Other facilities of the houses are in good condition. All the households have electricity supply and 54% of them have indoor water supply or water from within the yard. About 50% of the peasant households have fixed telephones, and 75% of them have mobile phones. For material resources in regions affected by the project, see Table 2-7.

2.4.4.2 Productive assets54. The possession rate of productive assets in those affected villages is low. More than 70% of peasant households have wheelbarrows, 44% have threshers, 1/8 have generators (diesel engines or electric power) and 1/9 have motorcycles. In a few areas there are hardly any non-agricultural asset, which means the possession quantity of these facilities may be increased after the traffic condition is improved. For details, see Table 2-7.

2.4.4.3 Family durable consumer goods55. The possession level of durable consumer goods can clearly show the economic status of peasant households. About 85% of peasant households have color TV sets (many of them are equipped with cable TV); 36% of them have VCD or other similar electric appliances; about 18% have washing machines, and about 1/6 have refrigerators. For details, see Table 2-7.

2.4.5 Financial resource2.4.5.1 Peasant household income

56. Shown in Table 2-8 is the income distribution of the total 155,373 households affected by Nanning – Guangzhou Railway who are investigated. The table shows the fact that the distribution of poverty population in rural areas gets more and more intensive from the east to the west along Nanning – Guangzhou Railway. The economy in Guangdong Province is relatively developed. The annual net income per capita of 84.63% of the total households is over RMB 3,000. In Guangxi Autonomous Region, only 38.33% of the total population have the annual net income per capita; households with the living standards below the absolute poverty line (less than RMB 800 per capita every year) accounts for 12.05% in Guangxi and 0.75% in Guangdong; households with low income (less than RMB 1,500 per capita every year) accounts for up to 31.24% in Guangxi and 5.07% in Guangdong.

2.4.5.2 Income Source

57. The income sources for most of the affected residents are planting and breeding which rely on agriculture. Salaried employment is the second largest household income source. 93.93% of households are engaged in crop planting industry. The income from this contributes 14.02% of the total income; over 70% of participate in salaried employment, and income from this contributes 45% of the total income. 48.33% of households undertake breading industry, 55.39% are engaged in forestry and fruit industry and about 9.3% of them have income from small stores. Only 0.52% of them have income from running enterprises. For details, see Table 2-9.

2.4.5.3 Consumption mode and savings

58. We can see from the data of 2,212 peasant households’ expenditures that the average expenditure of every investigated household in 2008 is RMB 2586, and the expenditure per capita differs among regions. The lowest expenditure per capita in Cangwu County, Guangxi Autonomous Region is RMB 1,925 and the one in Nanhai District, Guangdong Province is RMB 3773, which is RMB 1848 higher than the former one.



59. Under the mode of average consumption of the affected population, the consumption in basic needs such as food and housing accounts for a large proportion, that is 62%. The field investigation result also shows that the amount of money spent on housing are the most – local residents spend large amount of money on housing conditions. In terms of this, circumstances are different for those who live in the houses with civil structure and do not worry about relocation. The net income per capita minus expenditure per capita (3,560-2,586 = 940) equals the savings per capita. Different peasant households have different amount of savings.

2.4.6 Affected minority

60.In regions affected by the project, there is only one minority – Zhuang, whose residents have formed together with Han the distribution pattern of mixed residence. There is no distinct difference between Zhuang and Han in terms of livelihood pattern, living standard and cultural customs. According to the social evaluation investigation, Zhuang have their own national language and clear consciousness of their national identity, and are regarded as “minority” by Chinese governments, however, for those who are affected negatively by the land expropriation, relocation and construction in the project, they do not collectively adhere to the geologically unique residential areas or inherited territory within the project region, nor do they rely on the natural resources in this residential areas or territory as well as the “traditional culture, economy, society or political system that are different from the mainstream society and culture”. What is more, they are never the “unique, vulnerable social and cultural group”. The social investigation and evaluation show that Zhuang villages and villagers in the project region have actively participated in planning of land expropriation and livelihood resettlement, and that their opinions have also been indicated in land expropriation and relocation plan. The negative effects the project has caused on Zhuang residents in the affected region shall be handled together with those issues with local Han residents through the properly formulated resettlement plan, and Zhuang residents shall have the same rights and interests with Han. The social investigation and interviews under the project have also proved that the livelihood resettlement planned in the Resettlement Action are acceptable and adequate for the affected Zhuang Minority communities.

2.4.7 Vulnerable group

61. Table2-10 has listed the conditions of the vulnerable group affected by land expropriation and relocation. Vulnerable group herein refers to those handicapped, five-cared households, seriously poor households, women-in-charge households, etc.

62. Such households are not concentrated in certain villages. Instead, they are distributed in both poor and rich villages. They shall be provided with individual treatment and special financial aid, which will keep their life after the project completion as good as or even better than that before the construction.

Chapter III Project impacts

3.1 Scope of project impacts

63. Nanguang Railway, with a total length of 466.735 km, is a double-track electrified railway. There are 20 stations along the whole line. The line goes through Guangxi Autonomous Region and Guangdong Province, impacting 2 provinces, 6 prefectures and municipalities, 15 counties, 43 villages and townships (neighborhoods) and 170 villages.

64. The impact of the Nanguang Railway Construction Project in land appropriation and relocation include permanent land appropriation of various types of land, the impact on the various buildings, other supplementary structures, relevant equipment and infrastructure, as well as the impact on the temporary land use.

65. The material loss of the project and number of affected population are based on the preliminary design formulated by the design institute. The above quantities are not the final counts. With the in-depth development of design and final determination of the red line for land appropriation, the material loss of the project and number of affected population will be finally determined. Only at that time, the conditions are ripe for signing compensation agreement with the affected villages and villagers.

3.2Material indicators of project impact

3.2.1Permanent land appropriation

3.2.1.1Quantity of permanently appropriated land

66. The quantity of permanently appropriated land for the whole line is 27,776.548 mu. Specifically speaking, arable land is 13230.714 mu (water field: 5,906.764 mu; dry field: 7,086.500 mu; and vegetables plantation field: 237.100 mou), accounting for 47.63%of the total appropriated land; orchard is 1,402.166 mu, accounting for 5.05% of the total appropriated land; forestry is 7,545.269 mu, accounting for 27.16% of the total appropriated land; pasture is 330.232 mu, accounting for 1.19% of the total appropriated land; water pond is 1,211.930 mu, accounting for 4.36% of the total appropriated land; land for construction use (including land for residence foundation) is 2636.286 mu, accounting for 9.49%of the total appropriated land; barren land is 914.848 mu, accounting for 3.29% of the total appropriated land; other land is 505.105 mu, accounting for 1.82% of the total appropriated land. And recovered land for railways is 373.100 mu. Based on calculations including the stations and relevant facilities, the average volume of permanent land appropriation is 59.51 mu per km. Please see Table 3-1 for the statistics of permanent land appropriation by county and region, and appendix 2 for the statistics of permanent land appropriation by village

67. Nanguang Railway has a relatively small impact on the areas along the line because: (1) The railway is a linear project, which dictates that there will only be a relatively small impact; (2) The bridge and tunnel ratio of the project is above 70%, thus significantly reducing the volume of land appropriation; (3) The line is mainly located along the mountainous areas and away from the plain area, thus significantly reducing the volume of arable land appropriation; (4) Even if the line needs to cross the plain area, the elevated form will be adopted in order to reduce as much land appropriation as possible; (5) The selection of stations shall try to avoid towns and residential areas as much as possibloe. If the line needs to cross any residential area, a detour shall be made. Even so, the rural residents, especially the ones living at the places where stations are to be built, are the group suffering the largest impact from the construction project of Nanguang Railway. Among the 6 prefectures (municipalities) and 15 counties or regions, there are a total of 43 villages and townships and 170 administrative villages affected by land appropriated. In particular, the land appropriation scheme of the project exerts an impact on 3 cities, 7 counties or regions, 22 villages or townships and 102 administrative villages in Guangxi Autonomous regions as well as 3 cities, 8 counties or regions, 21 villages or townships and 68 administrative villages in Guangdong province.

68. A total of 19,139.198 mu of land is appropriated in Guangxi Autonomous Region. On average, 187.64 mu of land is appropriated for each village. And A total of 8,637.350 mu of land is appropriated in Guangdong Province. On average, 127.02 mu of land is appropriated for each village. Although the two provinces (regions) differ in the size of land appropriation in their rural areas, the appropriated land is distributed unevenly due to the terrain and station distribution. And land appropriation of stations is relatively concentrated, while the land appropriation of the line differs greatly between mountainous areas and flat areas with the distribution of bridges, tunnels and road base. Please see appendix 2 for the statistics of permanent land appropriation.

69. The land appropriation scheme severely impacts the villages affected by railway stations and villages with a small quantity of arable land originally. Other villages are faced with a relatively smaller impact. Among the 170 villages, none of them loses all of its land. There are only 9 villages where the appropriated arable land accounts for 10% of the total, 43 villages where the appropriated arable land accounts for less than 1% of the total, 97 villages where the appropriated arable land accounts for 1% to 5% of the total, and 21 villages where the appropriated arable land accounts for 5% to 10% of the total. Please see Table 3-2 for the detailed information on the 9 villages affected severely, and appendix 3 for the detailed information of land appropriation proportion for each village.



Table 3-2 Table of statistics of villages affected severely by the land appropriation of Nanguang Railway




2.3.2Temporary land use

70. A certain quantity of land for temporary use needs to be appropriated during the construction period. It is estimated by the design institute that a total of 12,779.52 mu of land needs to be borrowed, mainly used for access roads for construction, deposite sites for spoil materials, areas for borrow materials, construction sites for bridges and tunnels, etc. And barren land accounts for 23.8% of the land for temporary use. After the project completes the construction efforts, the construction entity will restore the farming conditions for the land of temporary use and return the land to the land owner. The construction entity and local land owners will sign an agreement on the temporary land use along the line. Please see Table 3-3 for the statistics of temporary land use by county and region, and appendix for the statistics of temporary land use by village. It needs to point out that the quantity of above the temporary land use shall be only counted as an estimate by the design institute based on experience. The actual quantity shall be determined after the construction entity enters the site and consults with the local government

3.3.3 Building demolition and relocation

71. The total demolition and relocation size for buildings is 1,221,504m2 for the whole line, 1,220,322 m2 outside the railway line and 1,182 m2 inside the railway line. Among the demolition and relocation outside the railway line, the total demolition and relocation size for common buildings in rural areas is 426,311 m2, accounting for 34.93% of the total demolition and relocation size outside the railway line; the total demolition and relocation size for common buildings in rural areas is 426,311 m2, accounting for 34.93% of the total demolition and relocation size outside the railway line; the total demolition and relocation size for corporate plant rooms is 689,069 m2, accounting for 56.47% of the total demolition and relocation size outside the railway line; the total demolition and relocation size for schools is 21,847 m2, accounting for 1.79% of the total demolition and relocation size outside the railway line; the total demolition and relocation size for buildings of urban residents in rural areas is 31630 m2, accounting for 2.56% of the total demolition and relocation size outside the railway line; the total demolition and relocation size for shops and commercial buildings is 51,464.8 m2, accounting for 2.59% of the total demolition and relocation size outside the railway line. The demolition and relocation of ordinary buildings in rural areas affect a total 1,819 households and 6,281 people; and demolition and relocation of ordinary buildings in urban areas affect a total 210 households and 650 people. No unlicensed or illegal structures were identified here. Based on the calculation including the stations and relevant facilities, the size of buildings demolished and relocated is 2,617 m2 per km. Please see Table 3-4 for the quantity of demolished and relocated buildings by region or county for Nanning – Guangzhou Railway, and appendix 3 for the detailed statistics on demolished and relocated buildings by village.

3.3.4 Population affected by the project

72. This Project affects a total of 25,784 people, of which 19,533 people and 5,745 households live in the rural areas. Among those living in the rural areas, 19,059 people and 5,444 households are affected by the land appropriation of this Project; there are 6,281 people in 1,819 households affected by the demolition and relocation of the project, and 5,807 in 1,518 households affected by both land appropriation and relocation; 2,215 people from 18 plants, mines and enterprises are affected; 2,955 people from 7 schools are affected; and 431 people from 23 shops and commercial buildings are affected; and 650 people from 210 households of urban residents are affected. Please see Table 3-5 for the detailed information.

3.3.5 Enterprises and public institutions

73. This Project affects a total of 195 enterprises and public institutions and a total of 5,170 people with an area size of for 710,916 m2 demolition and relocation. In particular, there are 188 plants and mining enterprises as well as 2,215 people affected with an area size of for 689,069 m2



demolition and relocation. And there are 7 schools and mining enterprises as well as 2955 people affected with an area size of for 21,847 m2 demolition and relocation. The affected people in the sector of railways are not incorporated into the statistics because they are fairly small in quantity. Please see Table 3-6 and 3-7 for detailed information on the enterprises and public institutions.

Chapter IV The Policy Framework of Resettlement

4.1 The Objectives of Resettlement

77. The policy objectives of resettling the Resettlerss influenced by the construction of the Nanning-Guangzhou railway include:

Take engineering, technical and economical measures to avoid and reduce the physical volume of Resettlerss influenced by land expropriation and relocation as much as possible. When land expropriation and relocation is inevitable, try one’s best to take effective measures to reduce its influence on the livelihood of local inhabitants;

During the preparation stage of the project, make a social and economical investigation and compile corresponding resettlement planning;

The resettlement should be based on the physical index of the relocation and the compensation standards. The objective of resettlement is to raise, or at least to recover the original level of livelihood of Resettlerss;

Development resettlement is advocated. The resettlement in the countryside should take the poilicy of basing on land, depending on the local developed secondary and tertiary industries and widening employmental channels;

Establish and improve the basic living allowance system of the land-expropriated farmers;

Encourage the Resettlerss to take part in the resettlement planning; The Resettlerss will be first considered to be resettled in the original community.

4.2 Applicable Policies and Laws

4.2.1The Policy of Involuntary Resettlements of the World Bank

78.The objectives of the policy of involuntary Resettlements of the World Bank:

The policy of involuntary Resettlements of the World Bank has been described clearly in OP4.12. All the objectives of its policy of involuntary Resettlements are as follows:

Discuss all the feasible project designing schemes in order to avoid or reduce involuntary Resettlements as much as possible;

If the resettlement is inevitable, the resettlement activity should be conceived and implemented as a sustainable development scheme. Sufficient fund should be provided so that Resettlerss can share the benefits of the project. Serious consultaitons should be carried on with Resettlerss in order that they can have the opportunity to take part in the planning and implementation of the resettlement scheme;

The Resettlerss should be helped to make efforts to improve their livelihood. At least the level should be really restored to the comparative high one before the relocation or the beginning of the project.

79. The necessary measures to achieve the objectives:

The resettlement plan or the policy framework of the resettlement should take corresponding measures to make sure that the Resettlerss have been informed of the option and other rights on the resettlement matter;

Learn about the technically and economically feasible schemes, take part in the consultaiton and have the opportunity to choose;

Get rapid and effective compensation based on all the replacement cost so as to counteract the direct property loss caused by the project.

If the influence of the project includes relocation, the resettlement planning or the policy framework of the resettlement should take corresponding measures to make sure that the



Resettlerss get help during the relocation(such as the relocation subsidy); Get houses or homestead or agricultural production places based on the requirements . The

productive potential, location advantage and other comprehensive factors should be equal to the advantages of the original place.

To achieve the objectives of this policy, the resettlement planning or the policy framework of the resettlement should estimate the transition period reasonably according to the time that may be needed to restore livelihood and living standard and take corresponding measures at necessary time to make sure that the Resettlerss get help during this transition period after their relocation;

Get developmental aid such as land preparation, credit, training or employment besides the effective compensation based on the replacement cost.

Special attention should be paid to the needs of the vulnerable groups of the emmigrants, especially people below the poverty line, people without land, old people, women, children, minorities or people who may not be protected by the land compensation laws of the country.

The strategy of land-for-land replacement should first be considered for people living on land. These strategies include that the emmigrants should be settled on public land or private land bought for settling emmigrants. Whenever replacement land is provided, the productive potential, location advantage and other comprehensive factors of the land provided should at least be equal to the advantages of the land before the expropriation. If the emmigrants do not take the scheme of obtaining land as the first choice, or the land provided will be harmful for the sustainability of parks or nature reserve, or the emmigrants can not get enough land according to reasonable price, additional scheme of leaving-land settlement which mainly includes employment or finding the opportunity for livelihood by oneself should be provided besides the cash compensation for land and other property loss. If there is not enough land, explanations should be provided according to the requirements of the World Bank and be written in documents.

The possilbly applicable conditions on which cash compensation will be paid for property loss are as follows: (a) Emmigrants who live on land, but the expropriated land of the project is a small part of their lost property; they can maintain themselves economically depending on the surplus part; (b) There are active land, houses and labor markets. The supply of these kinds of markets, land and houses are sufficient for the emmigrants to use; or (c) Emmigrants who do not live on land. The cash compensation should reach the level that using full amount of the replacement cost of local market to compensate the lost land and other property.

Provide timely and relevant information for emmigrants and their communities and also the resettlement communities admitting them. Negotiate the resettlement scheme with them and provide them opportunities to join in the planning, implementation and supervision of the resettlement. Establish relevant and convenient mechanism of appealing for these groups.

Provide necessary infrastructure and public service in new resettlement places or communities in order to improve, recover or maintain the original procedure of using facilities and service level of emmigrants and resettlement communities. Provide alternative or similar resource to remedy the usable community loss (such as fishing area, pastoral area, fuel or fodder).

Establish the community organization pattern adapted to the new environment according to the Resettlerss’ choice. Keep the present social and cultural system of the Resettlerss and resettlement communities as much as possible. Respect Resettlerss’ opinions whether they are willing to move to the present communities and group of people.

Lack of title would not bar the affected population from the resettlement benefits.

4.2.2 Legal Framework80. China has constituted complete legal framework and policy system for land-expropriation, house-relocation and resettlement and compensation. Since the promulgation and implementation of the Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China, it has been revised three times arrording to the change of Chinese situation.

4.2.3 Relevant Legal and Policy Regulations of China and Provincial Government

82. The Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China has made regulations on compensation for expropriated land, in which the 47th regulation specifies:

If the land is expropriated, compensate for it according to its original use. The compensation cost for expropriated arable land includes land compensation cost, resettlement subsidy and compensation cost for attachments on the ground and young crops.

The land compensation cost for expropriated arable land is six to ten times the average annual output value of the land in the previous three years before the expropriation. The resettlement subsidy for expropriated arable land should be calculated according to the number of farm population needing resettlement. The number of farm population needing resettlement should be calculated according to the number of expropriated arable land divided by average number of land owned by every person of the expropriated unit before the expropriation. The resettlement subsidy standard of every farmer needing resettlement is four to six times the average annual output value of the land in the previous three years before the expropriation. However, the resettlement subsidy of every hectare of expropriated land should not be raised to as much as 15 times the average annual output value in the previous three years before the expropriation.

The land compensation cost and resettlement subsidy standards of other expropriated land will be regulated by provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities referring to the land compensation cost and resettlement subsidy standards of expropriated arable land.

The compensation standards of the attachments and young crops on the expropriated land will be regulated by provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities.

The companies using the land should pay the development construction fund of the new vegetable field if they want to expropriate the vegetable field in the suburban area.

If the land compensation cost and resettlement subsidy paid according to this item still can not make farmers needing resettlement maintain their original living level, the resettlement subsidy can be added after the approval of the governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. However, the sum of land compensation cost and resettlement subsidy should not be raised to as much as 30 times the average annual output value in the previous three years before the expropriation.

Under special circumstances, the State Council can raise the land compensation cost and resettlement subsidy standard of expropriated arable land according to the social and economical development level.

83. In order to further strengthen the land management, the Chinese State Council promulgated the State Council's Decisions on Deepening the Reform and Intensifying Land Management (the issued States made on the 28th) in 2004, which raised new requirements for the further improvement of the land expropriation compensation. The 12th item specifies, “Improve the methods of land expropriation compensation. Local governments above the county level should take practical measures to make sure that the land-expropriated farmers’ living level will not decrease because of land expropriation. Make sure that the land compensation cost, resettlement subsidy and compensation cost for the attachments on the ground and young crops are paid legally, fully and timely. If the land compensation cost and resettlement subsidy paid according to the current legal regulations still can not make land-expropriated farmers maintain their original living level or is not enough to pay the social security cost for landless farmers because of land expropriation, the governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities should



approve the increase of the resettlement subsidy. If the sum of the land compensation cost and resettlement subsidy has reached the legal upper limit, but still can not make land-expropriated farmers maintain their original living level, local government can give farmers subsidies using the paid-use income of the state-owned land. The governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities should formulate and publicize the unified standard of annual output value and regional integrated land price of every city and county’s land expropriation. Make sure that the same kind of land has the same price concerning land expropriation compensation. The national key construction project should put the land expropriation cost fully into the budgetary estimate. The standard of compensation cost and the resettlement methods of expropriated land for large and medium water resources and hydropower construction is otherwise regulated by the State Council.”

84. The State Council's Decisions on Deepening the Reform and Intensifying Land Management has regulated the resettlement of land-expropriated farmers and the procedure of land expropriation. It regulates that the land-expropriated farmers should be settled appropriately and the land expropriation scheme should be negotiated with land-expropriated farmers in order to ensure their interests. The 13th item regulates that, “Settle land-expropriated farmers appropriately. The local government above the county level should formulate concrete methods in order to guarantee the long-term livelihood of land-expropriated farmers. For projects with stable benefits, farmers can buy a share through land use right of the construction land legally approved. Within the urban planning area, local government should bring the farmers without land because of land expropriation into the urban employment system and establish the social security system; outsisde the urban planning area, if the land under collective ownership of farmers will be expropriated, local government should leave land-expropriated farmers necessary arable land or arrange relevant working positions for them in its own administrative division; landless farmers without basic production and living conditions should be resettled elsewhere.” It also requires that, “Labor and Social Security Deparment should meet relevant departments and raise instructive ideas on establishing the employment training and social security system for land-expropriated farmers as soon as possible.” The 14th item regulates that, “Improve the land-expropriation procedure. During the land-expropriation process, protect the rights and interests of farmers’ collective ownership of land and their right to the contracted management of land. Before the expropriated land is reported for approval, tell the land-expropriated farmers the use, location, compensation standard and settlement approach of the land; the investigation result of present situation of the expropriated land should be confirmed by the land-expropriated rustic collective economic organization and the farmers; if it is really necessary, the Land and Resources Department should organize a hearing according to relevant regulations. Relevant materials known and confirmed by land-expropriated farmers should be the requisite materials that will be reported for approval. Expedite the establishment and improvement of the coordination and verdict mechanism of the land expropriation compensation and resettlement dispute and protect the legal rights and interests of land-expropriated farmers and land-users. The land-expropriated issues having been approved should be shown to the public except for special situations.

85. Concerning the distribution of the land compensation cost, the Chinese government has constituted relevant laws, statutes and policies and has made strict regulations for it in order to make sure that the interests of land-expropriated farmers will not be injured. The 15th item of the State Council's Decisions on Deepening the Reform and Intensifying Land Management regulates that, “Strengthen the supervision of the implementing process of land expropriation. The expropriated land should not be used forcibly if the land expropriation compensation and resettlement have not been carried out. The governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities should formulate the distribution methods of land compensation cost within the rustic collective economic organization according to the principle that the land compensation cost should be used mainly for land-expropriated farmers. The land-expropriated rustic collective economic organization should publicize the income and expenses and distribution situations of the land expropriation compensation cost to the members of this collective economic organization and accept their supervision. The Agriculture and Civil Administration Department should strengthen the supervision of the distribution and use of the land expropriation compensation cost within the rustic collective economic organization.



86. According to the State Council's Decisions on Deepening the Reform and Intensifying Land Management, the Land and Resources Ministry has constituted Instructive Ideas on Improving the Land Expropriation Compensation and Resettlement System, which has made regulations on the land-expropriated farmers’ resettlement approaches, the procedure and supervision of land expropriation and has further elaborated relevant policies of the State Council.

87. The implementing methods and compensation standard of provincial land administration law conform to the principles of the national land administration law. Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Guangdong Province along the Nanning-Guangzhou railway have constituted their own land administration methods according to the Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China and has made regulations on concrete implementing methods of land expropriation, compensation and resettlement.

Chapter V Compensation Criteria and Compensation Budget

5.1 Compensation Criteria

5.1.1 Compensation criteria for land requisition

5.1.1.1 Compensation criteria for permanent land requisition

95. According to the Land Administration Law of People’s Republic of China, the compensation for permanent land requisition is divided into two parts: land compensation and subsidy for household resettlement. The compensation for the cultivated land requisition is based on the formula that the average agricultural output for the first 3 years of the land requisitioned is multiplied by 6-10 times. And the multiple of household resettlement subsidy is related to the per capita cultivated land occupied, which is normally around 4-20 times. As for the village with more per capita cultivated land, since the number of rural population carried by each mu of cultivated land is less, the settlement subsidy multiple is low; as for the village with less per capita cultivated land, since the number of rural population carried by each mu of cultivated land is more, the settlement subsidy multiple is high.

96. The average agricultural output is calculated according to the formula that the amount of output of all crops produced from the cultivated land during the first 3 years of requisition is multiplied by the average of the corresponding market price. While the output is calculated, the by-products of grain plants, like the value of straw, will also be taken into consideration.

97. According to the Average Annual Output Base of the Land Requisitioned and Compensation Criteria for Demolition concerning the Construction Land for Major Infrastructure Projects in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and the data in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Development and Reform Commission Regulation No.【2005】190, table 5-1 listed and indicated the average output for the first 3 years since the land within the jurisdiction of Guangxi had been requisitioned. The detailed criteria of each county and district in Guangxi would be based on that. And in accordance with the types of land and per capita cultivated land area, the compensation multiple will be identified, thus the compensation criteria for each county and district will be worked out finally.

98. According to the Compensation and Protection Criteria for Land Requisition in Guangdong province, Guangdong provincial state land and resources bureau document No. [2006]149, table 5-2 listed and indicated the minimum compensation criteria for land requisition in the affected villages and towns within the jurisdiction of Guangdong province. The cultivated land criteria are re-divided into criteria for paddy field, dry land, vegetable plot based on the actual situation.

99. Before signing the compensation agreement with the affected persons, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Guangdong province would develop the detailed compensation criteria that affect the counties and districts, which are based on the resettlement action plan regarding its migration and according to the types of local land and actual situation of its annual output. The criteria will not be lower than the compensation criteria listed in the migration plan, and will be included in the resettlement information materials for the migration offered to the affected population.

100. To better settle the demolished rural housing site, the compensation criteria for the housing



site is raised based on what is specified in the previous document. In the previous document issued by Guangxi, the compensation criteria for housing site are 5 times of the dry land output. The actual compensation for the demolished rural housing site will be executed according to the compensation criteria for cultivated land.

101. The selection of multiple in identifying the land compensation criteria is based on the Land Administration Law. The Land compensation costs are based on types of land, identifying the compensation multiple for different outputs. The resettlement subsidy multiple is based on the size of per capita cultivated land. Normally the more the per capita cultivated land is, the less the output multiple will be; the less the per capita cultivated land is, the more the output compensation multiple will be. Since the per capita cultivated land in the requisition-affected villages in Bin Yang County, Tan Tang District, Gui Ping City, Ping Nan County, Teng County are basically the same, the compensation multiples for land requisition are also the same. Since the per capita cultivated land in the requisition-affected village is less, such as Gang Bei District Cang Wu County, the compensation multiple is as high as 26 times. Fo Shan City, Zhao Qing City and Yun Fu City in Guangdong province directly adopt the classification table of compensation and protection criteria for the land requisition in Guangdong province ( No. [2006]149 by Guangdong Provincial Land and Resources Bureau). The table identifies the compensation and protection criteria for various types of land requisition, which are much higher than the compensation criteria calculated on the basis of output. Based on the documents of Guangxi and Guangdong province, according to the budget criteria offered by the design authorities, the criteria for migration plan will be drawn up. Please refer to Table 5-1, 5-2 and 5-3.

5.1.1.2 Compensation Criteria For Temporary Land Use



102. In the process of railway construction, some land will be borrowed to be used in station access road, piling of engineering materials, construction of work shed, sand taking and disposal, or engineering and construction, etc.. The term of borrowing the land for the large infrastructure project normally lasts for 2-3 years. It will pay the temporary land use costs to the land owner or user (collective or individual). If required, the vulnerable group whose land is requisitioned will receive the special helps. If temporary land is cultivated land, the compensation should be paid year after year based on the losses of yearly agricultural output. If it is the wasteland, the compensation will be one-off and paid to the rural collectives. Upon the completion of engineering project, the previous cultivation conditions should be restored. The land should be returned to the land owner or equal payment of compensation should be rendered to them. The compensation criteria for the temporary land use are determined according to the types of land and time period. It is required that the construction unit and local government have consultation with each other. The comprehensive unit price of budget for the design authorities is 2000 yuan/mu.

5.1.1.3 Compensation criteria for crops103. According to the output per mu of the cultivated land, compensation criteria for crops are calculated. Please refer to Table 5-4.

5.1.2 Compensation Criteria for House Demolition and Ground Attachment

5.1.2.1 Compensation Criteria for House Demolition

104. According to the existing land administration law and house demolition policy, the compensation for building and its attachment should be directly paid to the affected asset owner. The compensation costs will be used as the relocation costs of the house demolished. In rural area, local government should allocate housing site to the affected person according to the land law (After the land is leveled, it might be connected with relevant service facilities if there are such service facilities.). And new house is constructed by the affected person or village committee. The principle of ownership exchange or market price compensation should be adhered to in the city. The area for house property right exchange should be based on the total area of houses demolished. The amount of compensation should be calculated according to the relocation price of the house demolished and any lawful transaction and registration charge will be exempted. The demolition costs of urban residents will be based on valuation with the temporary budget of 1824 yuan/ square meters. The people needing to be relocated are entitled to the use of construction materials in the old houses free of charge. The compensation criteria for rural house demolished in the Nanning to Guangzhou railway is referred to Table 5-5. However, the compensation criteria for demolition and relocation of urban housing, plant, mining enterprise, school, store and commercial residential building will be identified according to the market valuation at the time, which are not reflected in the table and only estimated in the total budget. The report refers to the compensation price criteria by the evaluation unit of feasibility report China International Engineering and Consultancy Company as the basis for demolition budget of town house (1824 yuan/ square meters), school house (1870 yuan / square meters) and house for plant and business enterprise (1956 yuan/ square meters). The demolition criteria are under appropriate adjustment based on the current relocation costs in the existing document and regulation. The actual compensation criteria are developed by each county and district according to the actual situation and not lower than the criteria in the plan. In order to evaluate whether the demolition criteria for rural housing is



appropriate or not, the market survey is conducted to work out the relocation costs of houses with masonry-concrete structure and brick and wood structure. Through the cost analysis, the compensation criteria for rural housing demolition are consistent with current house relocation price. The relocation cost difference between Guangdong and Guangxi lies in the fact that the labor costs in Fo Shan city and Zhao Qing City in Guangdong are higher than Guangxi. While Yun Fu city is close to Guangxi, the labor costs are basically the same. Please refer to table 5-5 and 5-6.

105. As for demolition compensation, there is no depreciation costs based on the living period. If necessary, the evaluation might be conducted on the price of relocation or market price of the house and the one with higher price be adopted. The urban housing price and quality are normally higher than rural housing. The compensation criteria for house demolition by urban resident are often higher than rural resident. It should be re-defined based on the relocation price. The main reasons behind the fact that the compensation criteria for rural housing demolition are lower than the compensation criteria for urban housing demolition are as follows: the compensation for demolition in the city includes the land use right of the place that the house is located, and the market price is executed; while the housing site where the farmer constructs the new house is offered by the government free of charge, thus only the direct construction costs of the house need to be compensated and the costs of housing site are calculated separately. In addition, the difference between urban land price and rural land price is also caused by the different compensation criteria for demolition.

106. Despite that no demolition is allowed before the new house is built, many affected population in other programs select to build new house. Because the materials of the old house might be used, the farmer does not begin to build new house until the old house is demolished when he rebuilds



the house. It means that 3-5 months’ temporary housing will be the transitional period. The affected population will get the temporary housing compensation during such a period.

107. Compensation is normally paid according to the standard costs per square meters for certain building. As for the small number of households that the houses are demolished, if the compensation criteria could not meet the rebuilding costs, the additional compensation costs must be paid to them.

5.1.2.2 Compensation criteria for the Attachment108. All attachment related to the old house needs to be compensated for, such as, the fence, washroom, pig bed, courtyard, well, cable line. Given the wide differences in the design and construction of the these attachments, the specific compensation rates will be discussed and negotiated with the owner households, with reference of the following rates in practice in the project areas,

restoration and reconstruction cost of affected infrastructure and facilities is included in the total project cost, but not in the resettlement budget,

costs of temporary land use;

other costs:

Technical training costs It will be mainly used for the vocational training for the villagers in the severely affected villages and also for the production skills enhancement for villagers in the other affected villages. This is estimated on the baisis of training contexdt, time and number of trainees.

Management costsIt will be calculated with 0.1% of totals of compensation costs for settlement of resettlerss and temporary land use. It will be used to purchase housing and equipments for migration institute, and pay the administrative costs such as wages, office, travel and accommodation, etc..

Development costs for settlement plan of migration and monitoring and evaluation costs for settlement of resettlerss

It will be calculated with 0.1% of totals of compensation costs for settlement of resettlerss and temporary land use. It will be used as the development costs for settlement plan of migration and the costs required to monitor and evaluate the implementation process of resettlers settlement by external monitoring and evaluation unit.

Administration Costs for Land RequisitionIt will be calculated with 0.3% of totals of compensation costs for settlement of resettlerss and temporary land use. It is used as the costs required in the process of land requisition for the land requisition authorities.

Contingency costIt will be calculated at 10% of the total of compensation costs for settlement of resettlerss and temporary land use. It is to be used to address the unforseeable issues by the migration settlement authorities to better resettle the resettlerss.

112.The total estimation of the compensation inputs for the resettlerss in the land requisition of the program is 257.177 billion yuan, including 227.946 billion yuan for compensation of resettlers resettlement, making up 88.63% of the total; 230.44 million yuan for contingency, accounting for 8.96%; 36.87 million yuan for other costs, 1.43% of the total inputs; 25 million yuan for temporary land use, 1.18% of the total inputs.

Chapter VI Resettlement and Development of Livelihood

113. The resettlement plan of Nanning-Guangzhou Railway Project shall be implemented by the local governments, financially supported by MOR and technically supported by 3 design institutions and Southwest Jiaotong University. Based on the extensive investigation about the impacts on the immigrant, they try to explore the proper plan of villagers’ livelihood development which complies with the domestic laws and the immigration policy of World Bank.

114. Nanning-Guangzhou Railway (the project herein only refers to the section from West Litang to Sanyan Bridge) has a full length of 466.735 kilometers, starting from Litang Town, Binyang County, Nanning City, Guangzhou Autonomu Region to Sanyan Bridge, Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province and passing through 2 provinces/autonomu regions, 6 cities, 15 counties/cities/districts, 43 towns and townships and 170 villages between Guangxi Autonomu Region and Guangdong Province. The total area of permanently expropriated land of the whole railway amounts to 27,776.548 mu, of which the cultivated land takes up 47.63%. What is more, the land reclaimed by railway has an area of 373.1 mu. The area of temporarily borrowed land estimated by the designer is 12779.52 mu. The relocation area of the buildings along the whole line totally amounts to 1,221,504 m2, among which, the relocation area outside and within the railway is respectively 1,220,322 m2 and 1,182 m2. In terms of off-railway relocation, the relocation area of common rural houses is 426311 m2, of industrial and mining enterprises 689,069 m2, of schools 21,847 m2, of urban residential houses 31,630 m2, and of stores and business-living buildings 51,464.8 m2. The total affected population is 24071, among which, the one in rural area is 17829 from 5106 households; the affected population of industrial and mining enterprise is 2,215 from 189 enterprises; for schools, the number is 2955 from 7 units; for stores and business-living buildings, the number is 431 from 23 units; for urban residents, the number is 650 from 210 households.

6.1 General Principles

115.The general objective of the project’s resettlement plan is: to provide proper measures for the development of production, life and families so as to ensure the living standard can be restored to what is at least not below the level before the project.

116.The general principle of the project’s resettlement plan is to resettle the affected households in the original communities, respect and care for the production and living habits of local immigrants, take into full account the will of the immigrants and promote resettlement based on land so as to enable the affected villagers to have stable income sources from agriculture and non-agriculture, recover and improve their living standards and further keep the sustainable development of the affected migration areas. The special principles of the resettlement plan are as follows:

The resettlement plan is based on land expropriation and relocation of physical targets, and implemented according to land compensation for house relocation and the subsidizing standards.

Integrate resettlement with the regional construction, resource exploitation, economic development and environmental protection. Based on the actual local conditions, map out practicable measures to recover and develop the immigrants’ livelihood, and create necessary conditions for immigrants’ self development.

Map out the layout according to the principle of “favorable for production and convenient for living”. All the buildings to remove shall apply the residential principle of “rebuilding nearby”. Almost under every circumstance, the affected people will obtain the new residential land within their own village or neighborhood committee. Before any residential plan is made, relocation will not be conducted to the affected population.

The construction scale and standard of relocation projects shall be in accordance with the principle of “returning to the original scale and standard”. The local governments and related departments shall be responsible for the investment required in the development integrated with


82


regions, the expansion of scale, the standard raise as well as the perspective plan. During the reconstruction and relocation, farmers will get the attention from the village committee, township governments (for cities, herein referring to governments at the same level) and county branch office of railway.

Consider comprehensively and make overall plans; properly handle the relationship among the state, the collectivity and the individual.

Take measures that integrates compensation, subsidies and production supports, take full advantage of the local natural resources and enable the immigrants to have the production and living standards that are the same with the original ones or even higher.

Women-in-charge households have the same opportunity and right to obtain rebuilt houses with men-in-charge ones. Any conduct that discriminates women-in-charge households such as reducing the house area or depriving of their right is regarded as illegal. There would be resources (funds and labor) to ensure those women-change households are satisfy with the relocation and can have proper new houses.

6.2 Planning of Villagers’ Livelihood

6.2.1 Land is owned collectively by villagers

117. “The Law of Land Administration of the People's Republic of China” (first issued in 1986 and revised in 1999) provides that agricultural land and housing land are owned collectively by all villagers. Under this ownership, all villagers share the land resource equally. The rural reform starting from 1978 has introduced the farm household-based contracted responsibility system to replace the previous collectivized agricultural organization form, and farm household has again become the individual farming unit. Under the household-based contracted responsibility system, all farm households are allotted cultivated land. The land allotment is based on the family scale, and calculated according to the per capita cultivated land registered by village collectivity. The remaining part of the land is held by the village as reserve land which can be rented out. The revenue earned belongs to the village. Openness and transparency are the basic principles of land allotment. The allotment method and frequency differs from village to village. Meanwhile, agricultural infrastructures such as wells, irrigation and drainage systems are still held as collective assets. Under the villager autonomic system, the village committee determines the land allotment (including the method and frequency) on behalf of all villagers and regards it as the means to equally share the collective resources. What is more, township governments also play the roles of guides, supervisors and technology controllers. The changes and economic activities of the village administrative group shall be reported to the related technology departments of township governments (sometimes requiring approval). For instance, the economic decisions of the village like land compensation being invested in non-agricultural enterprises shall be reported to township governments to examine their feasibility. Likewise, any investment in the agricultural field (irrigation and drainage) requires examination and approval of water resource units.

118.According to “the Law of Land Administration of the People's Republic of China”, project land compensation shall be paid directly to lost-land villages. As for the affected farm households who lost their contracted land, the village committee and the villagers’ meeting shall discuss all the measures to share all the effective resources and return to previous living standards, including financial resources for the lost land. Through resource replacement and development measures, the affected households will be compensated and supported during the period of recovery of their livelihood. Resettlement action plan will provide a package of measures for livelihood development, which are based on not only the extensive experience, but also the feedbacks from social and economic investigations and other planning activities. Specific village planning activities shall be conducted after the project design and the effective process of examination and approval within governments are confirmed. Tree and house compensation shall be directly given to the affected people.

6.2.2 Villager Self-administration

119.“Organic Law of the Villagers Committee” provides the related legal basis for the village organizations and administrative ruling. Some of the key articles are as follows:

Article 2. The villagers committee is the primary mass organization of self-government, in which the villagers manage their own affairs, educate themselves and serve their own needs and in which election is conducted, decision adopted, administration maintained and supervision exercised by democratic means;

Article 5. …The villagers committee shall, in accordance with the provisions of laws, administer the affairs concerning the land and other property owned collectively by the farmers of the village and disseminate knowledge among the villagers about rational utilization of the natural resources and protection and improvement of the ecological environment

Article 18. The villagers committee shall be responsible for the villagers assembly and report on its work to the latter. The villagers assembly shall deliberate on the work report of the villagers committee every year and appraise the performance of its members.

Article 19. When the following matters that involve the interests of the villagers arise, the villagers committee shall refer them to the villagers assembly for decision through discussion before dealing with them:

(1) Measures for pooling funds for the township, and the percentage of the funds raised by the village to be retained and used by it;

(6) Villagers' proposals for operation under a contract;

(7) Proposals for the use of house sites; and

(8) Other matters that involve the interests of the villagers and on which the villagers assembly considers it necessary to make decisions through discussion.

120.According to the principle of villager autonomy prescribed by law, the specific village development plan shall be implemented within the scope of comprehensive compensation, livelihood recovery/development plan, and based on the general experience and the preliminary consultation with villagers during the social and economic investigation. The specific resettlement plan on the


82


village level is determined under the organization and participation of the villagers assembly and the villagers committee. The package of methods shall cover all the villagers, enable all the affected households to equally share the resources and recover their livelihood by one or more measures. The villagers committee shall be responsible for organizing the implementation of these measures. Township and county governments including the project immigration office shall instruct the planning process in terms of technology guidance and implementation supervision.

6.2.3 Means of villagers’ livelihood planning

121.The affected farmers’ livelihood development plan shall be implemented by step under the current policies in China. The measure includes the general planning described in this resettlement action plan and a set of detailed village-level implementation plans which are carried out before the land expropriation. There are two main reasons: the first is the phased designing process of civil engineering and the ultimate influence scope of the project, including temporary land borrowing can only be determined on the basis of detailed engineering. This resettlement action plan is prepared according to the project impact of initial designs and the investigation of affected population. Only when the project impact (land and the affected households) is determined, boundaries are lined out on the land, and the expropriated land is specifically measured can all villages start the village-level resettling and planning activities of livelihood. All villages shall hold the villagers assembly and committee to discuss the project impact to their own villages as well as to make out measures for livelihood resettlement. This plan shall be implemented after being reported to and approved by the township government. The second is that governments have their required process for the detailed planning of land expropriation and relocation as well as resettlement of immigrants’ livelihood, including consultation, hearing and villagers’ approval by signing as well as the final announcement. This procedure is based on the internal examination and approval of governments and can be officially started after the projected is approved. There is no legal or policy basis for conducting detailed village-level livelihood activities before the WB project evaluation.

122.The first phase will be the general planning of livelihood. Planning at this stage is based on the experience of land expropriation and resettlement accumulated for decades under the current policies in China, the common practices formed thus as well as the feedbacks and information gained from the initial social and economic investigation carried out among more than 2000 villagers. Meanwhile, it also integrates the collective practices of local villages and the latest policy proposals that support the lost-land farmers. The overall plan is described specifically as follows. The second stage refers to the detailed implementation plans of livelihood made within each village under the general resettlement plan. It is based on the final determination of the impact scope of land expropriation and demolition and the overall grasp of the resources available for use within the villages, including the residual land and fund, which requires the coordination with the designing process of the project engineering and the internal examination and approval process of governments regarding this project. The planning process and system of the villages is also specified in this resettlement action plan.

6.2.4 The first stage – general plan of livelihood development

123.The general plan of livelihood development is based on the extensive practical experience formed under the economic and institutional system in China as well as the initial consultation in the social and economic investigation. During the past decades, the approach for resettlement has been developed gradually and adjusted from time to time in accordance with the land system, rural economy and system reforms in China. These activities have been carried out nationwide, and vary due to different degrees of economic development. These gradual developments have brought some common examples in terms of compensation and livelihood recovery. During the process of project investigation and resettlement planning, the resettlement planning department has organized the related institutions and their members to attend the meetings and carry out discussions with the townships and village collectivities involved in the project. Through these consultations, the previous practices of handling the land expropriation issues, the planning activities of each village as well as the feedbacks of resettlement plans have been well recognized. Meanwhile, they have also reflected


82


the implementation of the related policies of the state, Guangxi Autonomous Region and Guangdong Province.

124. The plan mainly includes but is not limited to the following contents and will be further developed into a more specific action plan, which is based on the selection of the resources available and villagers.

125.As for the recovery of livelihood of the affected villages, four measures for livelihood development have been provided, involving cash compensation, land reallocation, social security plan and training.

6.2.4.1 Cash compensation for the affected households

126.The resettlement department shall provide the villagers with land compensation according to the above-mentioned compensation standards. For the general selection of villagers in terms of livelihood recovery, more and more cash distributions have been applied to the affected villagers. In the more developed districts where there are more opportunities of getting non-agricultural income and the family income has been diversified, cash compensation shall be especially applied. Usually, households who choose direct cash compensation will invest this fund into their non-agricultural work..

127.Villages where it is decided that all the affected households are given cash compensation involve the following issues:

A unified decision shall be made in the villagers assembly regarding the compensation of the lost-land households.

The affected households without other means of livelihood shall be given 70% of land compensation and all the resettlement subsidies.

Agreements shall be reached upon the land loss and the total amount of compensation to be paid, and signed by both parties.

If they have accepted cash compensation, the affected households may not be entitled to have other options of livelihood, such as land reallocation. However, this is the unified decision within one village and differs from village to village.

The land loss of each household and the compensation plan shall be announced within each village.

Payments shall be made in accordance with the signed agreement.

The lost-land households shall be responsible for the utilization of compensation. They mainly use the fund in the development of the second and tertiary industries, and the related agricultural extension departments in the governments provide with technical suggestions and training.

6.2.4.2 Land adjustment and unified utilization of land compensation within each village

128.This was the only measure provided in the previous edition of Law of Land Administration before 1999 and decided by the villagers assembly. According to this measure, the village collectivity would apply the method of “land for land” and give land compensation to the affected households. This approach is quite effective, especially in those under-developed districts where the land occupation per capita is high while the chances of using non-agricultural land are low. According to the linear


82


engineering, this is most applicable in places with little land expropriation. Besides, this is also a decision made by villagers based on the land resource available, the priority of farmers and the economic conditions of the village collectivity. The methods applied are usually as follows:

Firstly, land shall be reallocated to those households whose own land has been expropriated. The village collectivity shall reserve the land compensation. The land reserved or returned to the village collectivity by those households who leave for cities shall be reallocated at the village level.

Secondly, the village shall utilize the compensation in the exploitation of wasteland and allocate the exploited land to the affected households.

Thirdly, the village shall recover the remaining land signed with the village households and allocate it evenly to all the households. However, great uncertainties exist in this implementation. In some districts, this reallocation is processed every several years; while in some other districts, villages never reallocate the signed agricultural land. Therefore, great differences remain between villages.

Fourthly, the village collectivity shall invest the land compensation into the improvement of agricultural infrastructures and farmland with low yield in the village through small adjustments. This is the method by which the villagers can share the loss caused by land expropriation and the compensation payment is made.

Finally, apart from the land compensation given to farmers, the project shall also make payments to governments as the land re-exploitation fee of “changing the expropriated land”, which is used for the purpose of new land development of governments at all levels. Most of the fee shall be utilized in the land development and improvement of county governments. In terms of fund use and land development, the requirements of livelihood recovery of the affected villages shall be taken into account.

6.2.4.3 Social security plan of lost-land farmers

129.Social insurance plan is first started in urban areas. As the governments have shifted the focus of development to rural areas, the social insurance plan will soon be implemented these areas step by step. Considering the impact of land expropriation under the rapid development in China, the provincial governments have issued the special social insurance policies for farmers whose land has been expropriated. This is an additional measure to recover the livelihood of those farmers, thus it can be implemented separately or regarded as one of the measures for livelihood recovery. It shall be determined in the detailed village plan according to the household measures. Such kind of plan include two main parts:

A. The policy development in China is a matrix system, involving central, provincial, municipal or district levels. General policies are usually issued by Central government and then made into provincial policies by further planning and detailed compilation, and finally made into the more specific municipal/county policies on the basis of local social and economic factors. This matrix of policies is a gradually developed process and much uneven throughout China. What is more, this situation will still continue. Information about social security policies within the targeted zones is listed below. It is a gradually developed process, and its course will differ.

B. Main measures and procedures in the implementation period of social security plan. In the fields where policies regarding the social security plan are issued, the plan is an additional resettlement measure for the affected farmers after they accept the general resettlement compensation. For the detailed municipal social security plan of the affected areas, see Table 6-1. The main measures are listed below; however, different cities have different policies and assistance standards:

The regulation of each city is regarded as the clear implementation mechanism;

Establish a standard to determine the proper people for social security plan. For instance, those farmers with land of less than 0.3 mus in Guigang, Guangxi shall be entitled to enjoy the social security plan;


82


The number of people who enjoy the social security plan can only be determined when approved by the villagers assembly and local governments;

Volunteer to participate in the social security planning;

Set up two accounts for social security plan to accumulate funds, namely, the account of the county government and the personal account; the county government shall put the revenue related to the state-owned land into its social security plan account while ht personal account shall be rely on land compensation;

Funds in the personal account can be acceded to;

Those who are confirmed to have the right to enjoy the social security plan shall get different insurance treatments according to their age;

The standard of social security plan shall be raised periodically in accordance with the development of local economies.

C. Procedures of social security plan implementation in rural areas:

People participating in the social security plan shall be determined by the assembly of each village;

The confirmed name list shall be announced within each village;

The confirmed name list shall be reported to the authoritative organization in the county;

Procedures shall be handled by the social security bureau at county (district) level according to the related policies and formalities.

6.2.4.4 Employment training and other assistance

130. At the moment, the government is launching an all-out program to support rural development, agriculture and farmer livelihood development, particularly the migrant farm workers and farmers losing land. Local governments, with designated responsibilities to its agriculture, water resources, social welfare, urban employment and poverty reduction departments, are mandated to provide support to its rural population, including free extension support, vocational training, employment counciling. Governments shall organize and provide employment training for the affected farmers. Governments at all levels have issued policies regarding employment training to help those land-expropriated farmers recover their livelihood. Governments also pay special attention to the seriously affected farmers as well as those farmers who have received compensation and been engaged in the reconstruction in non-agricultural fields. The farmer vocational training program under the resettlement plan for this project will join hands with the government programs and efforts. For non-farm vocational training, the focus will be given to those farmers who have chosen cash compensation


82


for land and prefers to emplore non-farm employment opportunities.

131.Governments are responsible for planning, organizing and carrying out employment trainings. Occupational trainings can be divided into two kinds:

The first kind is related to agriculture. It is aimed at helping villagers with their agricultural extension services, including those lost-land villagers. The government possesses a proper agricultural extension system, which has a large amount of experience and abilities accumulated during the past decades within the scope of agricultural extension, including insemination, fertilizers, science and technology, veterinarian service, forestation and sideline economic activities, etc. Usually, it is provided by the extension station (agriculture, stockbreeding, forestation, fishery, science and technology, etc.) under governments at all levels.

The second is the kind of training related to non-agricultural employment. It is aimed at helping those with little land remaining who are seeking non-agricultural employment opportunities. This training provides farmers with new techniques and helps them find new jobs through information transmission. It also actively organizes the export of labor force to those developing regions. The training fields include food processing, mechanism, sewing, woodworking, safety, cooking, major housekeeping services, etc. These trainings will be organized by the department of labor force and personnel from enterprises.

132.The immigration office (usually referring to land resource administrative department) plays the role of facilitating coordination and supervision. For the former one, the extended support has been a regular function of government departments. Once the detailed plan made by the villagers committee is implemented, the immigration office shall organize the extended training service together with the related government departments and the villagers committee. For the latter one, the immigration office shall provide the name list of the lost-land farmers to the department of labor force so as to carry out training for them. The department of labor force shall organize and launch occupational training together with the poverty reduction office, women union as well as the agricultural committee.

133.For occupational training, farmers as individuals shall apply for and participate in the employment training plan which is promoted at town level. After the training, a training certificate shall be awarded to each trainee. All occupational trainings shall be free of charge and the training fee shall be covered by local governments. All the affected villagers shall be given help in finding new jobs. Farmers in those severely affected areas such as the places near railways and stations shall be given priority for employment with occupations like cleaning, safety and loading work. Those affected farmers can also develop their own business under the government’s preferential policies.

134.The immigration office (usually referring to land resource administrative department) plays the role of facilitating. For the former one, the extended support has been a regular function of government departments. Once the detailed plan made by the villagers committee is implemented, the immigration office shall organize the extended training service together with the related government departments and the villagers committee. For the latter one, the immigration office shall provide the name list of the lost-land farmers to the department of labor force so as to carry out training for them. The department of labor force shall organize and launch occupational training together with the poverty reduction office, women union as well as the agricultural committee.

6.2.5 Second stage – detailed plan of villagers’ livelihood

135.When the impact of land expropriation (including temporary land use) is finally determined, and the government has approved the project, the detailed village-level livelihood planning shall be launched. The villagers committee shall start consultation and discussion within the village regarding the specific measures of resettlement and livelihood implementation. Those measures will be discussed and passed in the villagers assembly and made to public within the village to facilitate the implementation. The measures of livelihood as well as the implementation differ among villages. However, there are also some elements in common in terms of the implementation method:


82


Investigation and public notification of the final impact. Carry out another investigation and finally determine the required land and the quantity of affiliated objects of the affected people, which shall finally be made to public within the village;

Approval for land use (to be approved by state or provincial governments according to the type and/or quantity of land;

Provide villagers with land compensation;

Based on the resources available, villagers will discuss and determine the options and measures of livelihood in the villagers committee. The collective technology plan shall be submitted to the town government, which will examine the technological feasibility of the plan;

The town governments will monitor and give proposals regarding the planning process of village livelihood, record the results and examine technically the investment proposals;

Implement the planl; The immigration office and local governments shall organize and facilitate extended supports

and occupational training.

136. This level of implementation planning will take place in all affected villages. MOR, the immigration office of local governments and WB shall periodically supervise the detailed village-level planning process and its implementation. These shall also be periodically included in the project’s internal process report and the monitoring report separately prepared. For severely affected villages, their village implementation plans will be submitted to the project offices and the World Bank for review and concurrence.

6.3 Relocation Plans

6.3.1 Production Plan

137.In doing project impact investigation and relocation plan, the relocation plan department organized relevant units and persons to have meetings at counties (cities and districts), township (town and street) and village teams for discussion of relocation plans with leaders from places mentioned above and representatives of resettlers and some villagers. In line with relocation policies and requirements set by the state, provinces of Guangxi and Guangdong and WB and based on investigations into the villages affected by the project, it was finally determined that all affected persons should be relocated within their own village so that they could stay unchanged in style of living and production and their social relations remain the same. Resettlers are encouraged to work in agricultural industry which they are familiar with. Meanwhile, conditions should also be created for them to work in the secondary and tertiary sectors. All members of an affected village are eligible to participate in the detailed village implementation planning exercise and they are eligible for the livelihood development benefits under the detailed village implementation plan under the Chinese legal system. Measures are elaborated as follows:

1） The relocation department will earmark land requisition compensation according to relevant standards for villages and households who lose their land for the project. The procedures are:

Investigation and declaration: look into and confirm the land requisitioned and number of affected objects attched to that land of affected people and make the information public on the notice board;

Confirmation: confirm the number of affected objects declared on the notice board by all parties signing and conclude a compensation agreement for land requisition;

Payment of Fees:(1)Compensation for crops and above-ground fixtures on requisitioned land should


82


be earmarked by the relocation department for affected households based on land area provided in the compensation agreement signed by villagers;(2)Different villages may have different production plans for their resettled villagers, thus resulting in different allocation methods of resettlement compensation. If no land ajustment and allocation is made for affected people whose land is requisitioned, the compensation should be directly paid to them. If it is decided that land adjustments should be made across the village so that people losing their land for the project can get a new lot of farmland, the compensation will be evenly divided and paid to everyone registered as rural status;(3)Land compensation is a fee that is meant to compensate for land ownership and that should be earmarked for villages directly by the relocation department. The villagers committee should organize villager repreentatives meeting or villagers assembly to discuss how to use this compensation, whether the compensation should all or partly be retained and managed by the village for building roads, canals and other village public facilities or should be divided evenly and paid to households based on population or land area within the village.

2） Land Adjustment within Village

The villagers committee should organize an assembly to decide whether land adjustments are needed for this village;

Where the village decides to make adjustment in land, the villagers committee should carry out the adjustment across the village within half year since the land is requisitioned:(1)Villages that have reserved land before should allocate land from reservation to households whose land is requisitioned based on farmland per capita in this village;(2)Villages without reserved land should re-allocate land across villagers team or the whole village according to methods discussed at villagers assembly;(3)Households with land requisitioned can regain land to continue agricultural work that they are familiar with.

3） Social SecurityThe national policies for extending this program to rural areas and local policies and regulations are being developed in both provincies. All villagers in the affected village are eligible, but particiapting in this program is an additional channel and measure available to the affected villagers for livelihood restoration. The specific implementation details, provisions and mechanisms will be worked out at the next state. However, this measure will be exercised and decided on a voluntariy basis for for land-losing farmers. This should not and will not be forced upon the affected villagers.. So far, Guangdong province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region have developed social security methods for farmers losing their land with a view to facilitating relocation programs including the one in this project. See 4.2.2 of regulations of Guagnxi and Guangdong in this Relocation Action Plan for more policies. The steps include: identify persons in each village that need to have social security; publicly declare persons identified to the whole village; Submit name list of persons confirmed to the Social Security Bureau for approval

and make the list declared in public; Deal with the issue by the Social Security Bureaus at county (district) level.

4） Employment Training and Assistance

5） People with land requisitioned can take occupational skills training for rural labor force organized by local government. The following is how it is done: Local labor security department should handle organization and implementation of

training programs and draft measures and plans for the programs. What to be trained should be decided flexibly based on needs of employer or trainees. Generally, the programs are about:


82


a. rural practical skills (such as crops growing management and animal husbandry)b. professional skills needed at urban enterprises (like food processing, sewing and computing)c. skills required in service sector (e.g. being a security guard, cook, cleaner, baby-sitter and nurse)

The relocation department (national land resoources administration department in most cases) should provide a name list of land losing persons to local employment department (generally county or district bureau of labor and employment, and governmental agency of poverty relief, women’s association and agricultural committee that provide training programs to land losing or poor farmers and rural females) for identification. In Guangdong, it is provided that farmers with land requisitioned aged above 16 and under 35 should be the focus of training programs.

Affected persons can sign up to a program according to the training plan declared in public in town and village. When finishing a program, they will be given a certificate.

The training programs are totally free for land-losing farmers. Training funds should be raised and managed by local departments of finance;

The trainees can voluntarily choose job opportunities publicy recommended in non-agricultural sector and urban areas and from hometown and outside hometown. For villages that lose a great amount of land due to railway station building, affected villagers will have priority over others in renting facilites of the station and getting non-skilled job opportunites such as cleaning, being a security guard and loading and unloading cargo. See Table 5-2 for details.

Farmers without land are encouraged to find a job on their own or get self-employed. Those of working age without a job are entitle to supporting policies on promoting employment and reemployment as long as they want to have a job. The supporting polices include reduction and exemption of registration fees, management charges and even tax within a certain period of time.

6.3.1.1 Relocation Plan for Villages Lightly Affected by Land Expropriation

138.For villages where only a small amount of land is expropriated or most of land requisitioned is non-farmland, resettlers’ opinions should also be solicited and the villagers assembly be held to discuss and adopt a relocation and livelihood implemntation plan. Usually, they don’t redistribute remaining land across the village or farmer groups villagers team. For land except for standing crops that is paid directly to the affected farmer households, , the rest are generally allocated and used as follows:

a) Where some villages have spare land, this land should be allocated to land-losing households, land compensation will be used to improve village infrastructure, and resettlement subsidywill be either managed by the villages to develop the secondary and tertiary sectors or evenly divided based on land adjustments to give villagers in the village or villagers team;b) the other option is to distribute land compensation and resettlement subsidy in cash to the affected farmer households.

6.3.1.2 Relocation Plan for Villages Heavily Affected by Land Expropriation139.Land acquisition for the project affected villagers teams to various degrees. Building of railway stations, particularly, would expropriate large areas of land, which would impact greatly on life and production of local villagers. Affected people were paid particular attention in relocation process.

140.Relocation plan team, local agencies and relocated people worked together to make a production restoration plan for resettlers based on facts of villages and land requisition. The following is a summary of restoration plans to be used by different villages:

Increase supply of agricultural land and have people with land stay as farmers:

1)farmland converted from corn land to paddy field and from low yield to hig yield, a program organized and supported by the agricultural department;

2)farmland developed from rural field of less than a angle of 25°;

3)new farmland developed with land requisition subsidies for projects;

4)land sub-contracted to land-losing farmers from migrant workers who usually work away from home;

5)land reserved by some villages for unforeseen circumstances in land contracting can be given to households who have lost a large portion of land due to the project.

Help relocated people shift to non-agricultural status through many ways:

1) Affected farmers should have their agricultural status changed. In addition to land compensation, they should also be subsidized according to standards of subsistence allowances for the urban poor and social security measures.

2)The relocation department should conduct employment training programs for villagers able to work for free who should take the advantage of living in the neighborhood of railway stations to provide service needed for operation of the station such as baggage delivery, cleaning, catering and selling.

3)The local reloation department should assist in labor export measures made by local poverty relief agency, agricultural office and employment bureau to recommend affected villagers for job opportunities in coastal areas and employers outside hometown.

Model Implementation Plan for resettlement in Affected Villages


82


Ducan Village, Longwei Zhen, Cangwu County, Wuzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region

Item Content

Facts about village

Ducan village was affected by land acquisition for Wuzhou South Station. In this village, there are 2,900 villagers with farmland of 0.21mu per capita. As it is close to the county, many villagers go to the town or other cities to work.Villagers at home mainly depend on growing vegetables or running transport business and generally lead a better-off life.

how land requisition affects the village

It’s planned that the railway building will take away about 130mu land. The village has a total amount of 610.07mu farmland, 59.28mu of which will be requisitioned. So requisitioned farmland accounts for 9.72% of the total land to be taken away from the village. This will result in 0.19mu land per capita in the village that is heavily affected by the project.

consultaiton and decision making

Early at the railway design stage, when the villagers got to know that their land would be expropriated, the villager representatives meeting was held to discuss relocation measures. With development of the project, the village has held discussions in various forms and produced a relocation plan finally.

Relocation measures

The village plans to earmark 70% of land compensation to households and retain 30% at the village for the public good.

It is decided that after land expropriation about 310 villagers should have non-agricultural status and be entitled to social security based on the document (of Pilot Measures on Social Security for Relocated Farmers in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region developed by Labor Security Department, National Land Resources Department and Financial Department of the Region on Jan.22, 2008)

The relocation department should conduct employment training programs for free for villagers who are able to work and who should take the advantage of living in the neighborhood of railway stations to have the privilege to become one of 100 persons providing service needed for operation of the station such as baggage delivery, cleaning, catering and selling.

The local reloation department should assist in labor export measures made by local poverty relief agency, agricultural office and employment bureau to recommend about 30 affected villagers for job opportunities in coastal areas and employers outside hometown.

More than 100 villagers maintain a life through working for an employer and running a business outside their hometown instead of doing farming.

70 villagers are old people and children who don’t need to get employed.Implementation organization

6.3.2 Housing Plan for Relocation


82


6.3.2.1 Rural Housing Plan for Relocation

Housing land Selection and Criteria for Relocators

141.1819 rural households have to be relocated due to this project. Most of them are relocated within their own village. So roads in the proximity to the village and wasteland near residential places should be used as housing land to build houses on. Relocation should be centralized, yet residential buildings should be scattered and avoid occupying farmland.

142.Land for new residential buildings should be allocated by the village to relocated households for free with area no less than the former one. These households don’t need to pay land purchase fee. Instead, they should be paid relocation compensation. Housing land cost should be calculated in isolation and paid to the village which should work with local government to develop allocation methods with affected people principally claiming priority for the cost.

143.Where rural people in China need to use collective land in their village for new home, they should make an application personally to get approved by the villagers assembly, reviewed by the villagers committee and township governments and submitted to government of county level for a final approval.

144.Housing land should be agreed by the village and relocated households. Farmers usually want to have their home at an easily accessible place, such as two sides of roads or village paths. Their wishes should be satisfied as much as possible. They can choose wherever they want to build a new house within the housing land of the village.

145.People that need to move to other villages should be relocated mainly in local towns. Based on township development plan, avenues and stores with a street frontage should be built. There are several relocation ways to choose. Firstly, the local government deals with street building and supporting facilities while relocation movers build their own home according to the overall development plan. Secondly, affected people should be given a house with same area as before. Thirdly, if accepted, resettlers can be given cash to compensate for their loss of house. It’s up to affected farmers to decide which way is better for them.

146.Criteria of housing land should be made according to regulations of counties (cities and districts).

Plans for Site Grading and Infrastructure

A. Site Grading: As a majority of relocation movers in this project have their new home located fairly far from each other and they can choose barren hills as housing land within their own team or a team in relocation area, the land they choose is pretty good in terms of geological conditions and can be built houses on after leveled. Affected villagers should determine a new concentrated relocation area that they want to live at according to new rural development plan. The relocation department should take the responsibility of leveling the land. Meanwhile, they can also choose a separate place to have their new home. In this case, housing land has to be leveled up by themselves.

B. Infrastructure:

⑴ Water: based on current status of affected households, existing water network of the village should be used or they can continue drilling well for water.

⑵ Power: existing power equipment of villagers team in relocation area should be used to connect to the households using 220V poles/lines.

⑶ Road: new housing land for resettlers should be handled by villages themselves using existing roads and in the proximity to concentrated residential places. No efforts are needed to connect roads. For residents who lived far from others before, this arrangement will foundamentally solve the problem of poor accessibility.

⑷ Broadcast: resettlers can use existing equipment in relocation area to install receivers or have heir former receivers re-installed in that area. They can also use the existing receivers in the area to watch


82


TV programs.

⑸ Medical care and education: principally, affected people by this project should move to large concerntrated residential areas, so existing schools and medical facilities are available to them and they can have a better experience in this regard.

Other Relocation Methods

147.Rebuilding a rural house takes three to five months and should be done by the family themselves. Usually, they contract local business men with a special agreement for home building. They can get materials for free from dismantling their former house. Housing subsidies do not include cost of materials from the former home.

148.Housing subsidies should be paid to households directly by county relocation department before they get to move.

149.In principle, new houses should be built before old ones demolished. If relocation happens before a new home is built, a subsidy for transition should be provided to resettlers for their home rent. Very often, they have to live with their friends and relatives during this period. In this case, they should also be entitled to that subsidy. A lump sum of payment which is calculated on the basis of 5 to 10 RMB yuan per person/m2 each month (6 months in total) should be earmarked by relocation management organization to resettlers directly. Transportation cost of home moving is 200 to 300 RMB yuan each household. It should be noted, however, that wherever possible, no relocation may be allowed if no new homes are provided.

150.When rebuilding their home, farmers have to pay extra money needed if they want to have a larger area or better quality than before. It’s up to they themselves to decide whether to enlarge the floor area or improve the housing quality.

151.Rural dwellings scatter across the village and are built by themselves. Housing subsidies include cost of labor and materials of the same quality as before. Relocation movers can make their own decision to: (i) increase floor area and improve comforts; or (ii) build a similar home as before and save the rest money for other purposes. Villagers can discuss the location of their new home with the village committee or villagers team and get the allocation of housing land for new home from the village for free.

152.After getting the compensation, people affected can build a new home on their own, which helps to get them involved in the rebuilding. They can control the building cost and be efficient in many ways (like getting help from friends and relative, using raw materials from former house and local materials). They can also build a house to their liking.

Facts about village

The village has a population of more than 6,000, farmland of about 5,800mu and pond of 200mu with annual net income per capita ￥1800.


Based on draft design of CEC, 42 households of Gufeng village were affected by the railway building with a relocated area of 9,158m2. The railway line would go through the village about 2.4km in length with a form of bridges mostly. So not much land was expropriated but huge relocation required. A severe lack of housing land put the village an awkard position to have villages relocated. If home movers scatter their new homes, it was difficult to provide enough housing land.

consultaiton and decision

Early at the railway design stage, when the villagers got to know that their land would be expropriated, the villager representatives meeting was held to discuss


82


making relocation measures. With development of the project, the village has held discussions in various forms and produced a relocation plan finally.

Relocation measures

The village decided to centralize the resettlers by leveling a hill to provide housing land and supplying water, electricity and road. All these costs should be born by the relocation department and new homes be built by resttlers themselves.

The relocation subsidies should directly be paid to affected households. Under the supervision of the village committee, affected households decided

to draw lots to choose the location of housing land. A community to hold relocators should be built first, then new residential

buildings, and finally relocation start to go.Budget levelling a land and supplying water, electricity and road should need about 1

million RMB yuan.Responsible organiztion

6.3.2.2 Urban Housing Plan for Relocation

153.Urban dwellers involved in this relocation all live at Guicheng town, Gangbei district of Guigang city, totalling in 210 households of 650 persons with an area to be demolished of 31,630 m 2. Urban relocation included land expropriation fees. Relocated urban residents would move to replacement apartments in another community or be given cash equivalent to the purchase price (of local market) as compensation. In addition, they would also get resettlement subsidy. People relocated to existing apartments should have the same floor area as before. If the replacement housing is not ready, the resettlement office will pay rents for the transitional period. Additionally, they will get transport allowance at 200-300 yuan per household.

154. Site survey and consultations reveal that 120 of the 210 households have opted for cash compensation and the rest have chosen replacement housing. Accordingly, the local government has decided to develop a new residential area for their resettlement. It would also receive resettlers from other project. The size is estimated for 500 households, with complete facilities. Construction is expected to start in December 2009 and completed in December 2010. The resettlers are expected to have six months of transition. The house types would vary to accommodate the needs of the resettlers.

6.3.3 Relocation Plan for Schools Affected

155.Schools to be relocated because of Nanguang railway line should be compensated and the compensation should be paid to school owners which are committees of towns or villages dealing with rebuilding work. The compensation must be enough for rebuilding. Besides, a transition fee is required. The project owner and relocation department will work with competent authority over the school to make a reconstruction and relocation plan and put the plan in practice. Where any schools need expanding their size, committees of towns or villages should pay the extra money. As China always pays attention to education, many schools will be improved overall after being relocated. The whole relocation activities should follow one rule, that is ,teaching programs and enrollment should not be affected. Altogether, 7 shools are affected and an area of 21,847m 2 will be demolished. The implementation planning will start once the detailed designs are completed and project is approved for the engineering works by the government.

Early at the railway design stage, when the school got to know that they would be relocated, the educational authority of the district, the village and school negotiated many times and drafted a relocation plan. An independent assessment organization was employed to evaluate the school and determine the compensation.

Relocation measures

Rebuild the school in another area and the venue picking should be coordinated by the relocation department.

Relocation should not be made until a new school is built so that a transition can be avoided.

Except for acquisition of compensation provided in the procedures and contract, these enterprises should move their production firms affected into local urban industrial park based on urban development plans to ensure factory rebuilding and production and operation restoring.

157.It is estimated that 188 factories with a floor area of 689,609 m2 were affected by this project and neeeded relocating accounting for 56.47% of total relocated area. Usually, local officials hoped that factories and enterprises would be rebuilt in their home town and that the companies and the personnel could get a full compensation for any losses or all losses. The affected enterprises are all small scale private ones and their employees are all contract workers or temporary daily wagers. From the nature of the employment, the project is not terminating any long-term employment or causing losses of jobs.

158.Compensation is provided to factories and enterprises based on replacement price of land, buildings, equipment and other attachments. It includes transporation fees, revenue loss during close-down or production cuts and market price of relocation. It’s up to the enterprise that whether the construction needs to be moved or re-built. Personnel affected will get salary compensation during close-down/gap period and have the privilege of get re-employed after the factory is relocated. Local

160.Shops and bi-functional buildings concentrate at densly-populated urban areas along the Nanguang railway line. Except for the compensation they will get according to procedures and the contract, they will also be relocated to local commercial areas based on development plans of each urban area. In this way, rebuilding work can be ensured and business operation be restored.

161.It is estimated that 23 shops and business-living-buildings with a floor area of 51,464.8 m2would be affected by this project for relocation, accounting for 4.17% of the total relocation areas.

6.3.6 Relocation Plans for Affected Infrastructure

164.Infrastructure like water, power and roads affected by the project should be recovered by lenders


82


based on realities with a view to facilitating life of local people.

165.The project will have an impact on infrastructure of all kinds and on attched items including telecommunication lines, power lines, roads, irrigation facilities and drainage system. Where infrastructure is affected by the project, the constructor should repair the damaged facilities or compensate the owner of facilities or public service provider or agency of service provider. The lender, local government and the affected will work out ways to restore the old facilities based on field investigation. Restoration of infrastructure is required for approval and acceptance of this project.

166.Mainly three ways will be adopted to restore the infrastructure affected by this project:

Railway construction company should restore the affected facilities during building the railway line, such as countryside roads and agricultural ditches;

A professional team should be employed using funds of railway builders to move the affected facilities to another place, such as telecommunication equipment and power facilities;

For some infrastructure affected like water tower and illuminating lines, compensation should be paid to the facility owner by railway builders so that they can rebuild them on their own.

6.3.7 Relocation Plans for Vulnerable Groups

167.Very poor people, single parent family with a woman as house keeper, elder persons of no family, disabled people without ability to work and other vulnerable groups should get compensation including relocation subsidy, labor force arrangement subsidy and social security for farmers without farmland and be relocated in a fair way according to relevant policies.

168.Where it’s difficult to make relocation happen, governments of all levels should render great support. The villagers committee, governments of towns and townships and project office of the county should give special attention to and help families in dire financial straits or disabled persons and families receiving five assurances when they move home. The help should not just limit to giving instruction, providing documents and cash, but include offering vehicles or pay for their home moving. If they are not able to rebuild a new home, governments of various levels should intervene through 1) assisting in new home building; 2) using the compensation to purchase a home with same quality and area as before in their own village and subsidizing each household with 2000 RMB yuan for rebuilding. The WB’s recommendation: is this compensation solely dedicated to vulnerable groups?

169.The reloation department should make use of existing policies and measures that are playing a role in home rebuilding for vulnerable groups and that are made for programs such as civil administration remedies, poverty alleviation, women’s federation and ethical growth. Although the project was designed to minimize the impact on developing areas, it still put livelihood of some relocatd families at risk. Some poor rural families would lose their income and be left unprovided. They should receive the special attention from officials dealing with relocation, local poverty relief office and women’s federation that are expected to provide skills training programs and funds and other support if the affected people decide to run a business.

170.The privilege of employment provides another option of income source. Inspite of positive intention of the plan, experience tells us that there will always be obstacles in the way of the poor trying to reach useful resources. So project leaders, local officials and typical villages affected by the project should work together to ensure the affected parties are entitled to the compensation and to make use of resources to support and impove their life.

Chapter VIII Organization

8.1 Framework

180. The Ministry of Railway, as the project owner, will assume the general responsibilityfor the implementation of the resettlement program. For the program implementation, an organizational network of resettlement is planned to be established for land expropriation, relocation and resettlement. The network vertically includes Ministry of Railways (including contractors and affiliated institutions) and local government. These organizations include land expropriation and relocation group and local coordinative department. The network may change when the joint venture of Nanguang Railway establishes and local government will tack charge of the resettlement implementation.

181. Currently, some governments at different levels alone the railway line have established leading institutions. For example, Yunfu City has established similar insititutions led by government leaders, with chiefs of different departments as members. In other areas, although they have not established corresponding institutions, but relevant governments all expressed that project preparation will be led by local Development and Reform Commission at different levels. When the project is fully launched, the local governments at various levels will establish railway supporting office or similar institutions to support construction and resettlement. See Figure 2 for detailed operation situation of the network.

182. Resettlement institution under implementation insititutions and operation departments are:

Leading group for preparation of Nanguang Railway Cooperation; Land expropriation and relocation group of involved contractors; Designing staff from China Railway Eryuan, China Railway Siyuan and China Railway Consultancy.

8.4 The capacity and training for resettlement institutions

201.Local Development and Reform Commission has accumulated abundant experiences in resettlement of constructing major infrastructure such as civil works and express ways. Relevant officials know well about laws and policies of land expropriation and resettlement at national and provincial levels such as Liunan passenger railway, Xianggui Railway funded by AFD and Guang(zhou)Wu(zhou) highway. They also have good understanding about involuntary resettlement policy of the World Bank. Obviously, local government officials know policy requirements of Chinese domestic laws and that of the World Bank on resettlement. They clearly understand that both Chinese laws and policies of the World Bank show a common goal, namely, the affected people’s life after project completion will at least be kept at the same level as before the project.

202.With the purpose of ensuring that resettlement will be implemented and beneficial to affected people, special training should be given to implementation institutions, local railway supporting offices and other staff to strengthen their capacity of planning and management. Training will be carried out under the guidance of foreign capital center of the Ministry of Railways and training expenses will be provided by Nanguang Railway Corporation. Experienced experts in resettlement will be invited to give training programs. The training will be given at two levels, one is provincial officials and relevant staff and the other level includes executive staff at county level. The training program will mainly include:

National and local laws and regulations on land expropriation and resettlement

Policies and requirements of World Bank

Resettlement plan

Procedure and experience of land expropriation and resettlement

203.Working expenses of resettlement offices of government at different levels are from special management expenses of the project which generally will take 2 to 3 percent of the total charge of resettlement. Expense for capacity training of organizational staff is also included in the management fee. See Table 8-1 for detailed training program.

Chapter IX Consultation, Greviance Redress and Participation

9.1 Consultation

9.1.1 Stakeholders of the project

9.1.1.1 Identification of stakeholders of the project

204. According to research document of project feasibility co-composed by China Railway Eryuan Engineering Corporation Limited, China Railway Design Consultancy Group Corporation Limited and China Railway Siyuan Engineering Corporation Limited, stakeholders of the project are identified as:

◆ Ministry of Railways: Owner and contributor of the project, borrower of loan from World Bank;

◆ Nanguang Railway Corporation Limited (hereinafter referred to as “Nanguang Corporation”): Project executive organization established by Ministry of Railways according to the requirement of the project;

◆ Government of Guangxi Autonomous Region/ Guangdong Province: one of the owners of the project, investment for the project is local financial capital used in land expropriation and resettlement within the locality;

◆ Government of affected cities, counties/districts and towns: responsible for execution of land expropriation, relocation and resettlement within the locality;

◆ World Bank: Loan provider for this project;

◆ Affected enterprises and organizations: referred to enterprises, public institutions and business stores and so on;

◆ Affected village groups and individuals: including village groups and individuals affected by land expropriation and relocation;

◆ Constructor: project contractors responsible for construction.

9.1.1.2 Analysis on main stakeholders◆ Ministry of Railways205.Ministry of Railways is the supreme administrative department for development and management of railway industry in China. In this project, Ministry of Railways is the main contributor and loan borrower from the World Bank. Meanwhile, it is responsible for supervision and management of project construction. It will establish Nanguang Corporation to undertake the function of construction and management of Nanguang Railway.

◆ Nanguang Preparatory Group206. This group is a special organization established by the Ministry of Railways in accordance with construction and operational management at later period of Nanguang railway project. Its main responsibilities include: project bidding; supervision and management on construction activities of contractors; coordinating and cooperating with local government and relevant organizations to complete land expropriation, relocation and resettlement.

207.Land expropriation, relocation, resettlement and construction involved in this project are major activities within the functional scope of the corporation, which have a direct bearing on the welfare of affected groups and individuals. On the one hand, it must seriously fulfill the function of supervision to strictly supervise on contractors for safety and standardized construction and to protect living and


96


production facilities of affected village groups and villagers alongside the railway. If there is any occupancy, the corporation should give reasonable compensation and return the property as early as possible. If there is any damage, the corporation should make timely and qualified rebuilding; the corporation will work with local government to conduct land expropriation, relocation and resettlement and pay entire amount of compensation to affected rural residents timely. On the other hand, the corporation should voluntarily accept supervision from the Ministry of Railways, local governments and village groups alongside the railway; ensure execution of its functions according to state and local policies, rules and regulations; deal with issues related with rights and interests of village groups and villagers alongside that may happen during construction based on principle of “unlimited informed at earlier stage” to protect rights and interests of affected groups and individuals and maintain good image of the project.

◆ Two governments at the provincial level208. Two governments at the provincial level are investors of the project whose local public finance are used to do land expropriation, relocation and resettlement. Meanwhile, the provincial governments are also beneficiaries of the project. They are responsible for funding the cost of land expropriation, relocation and resettlement, safeguarding normal construction within their localities and protecting rights and interests of village groups and villagers within their localities. Therefore, they have to pay attention to coordinating relationship between construction units and affected groups and individuals alongside, dealing with disputes and conflicts that may possibly occur; pay affected peasants with entire amount of compensation of land expropriation, relocation and resettlement in time; arrange house site for removed households in time. Tow provincial governments should strengthen communication and coordination to raise proper resolutions for compensation standards that are sensitive and closely related with rights and interest of affected groups and individuals. For the problems that may be leftover and may hampered the progress of the project within their localities, the two governments should pay highly attention to and work out resolutions through discussion and consultaiton with relevant parties so as to reduce obstacles for grass root governments.

209.Through field survey, it is known that the two governments have accumulated rich experiences in mutual implementation or coordination of large projects such as railways, public roads, high-tension transmission lines and oil pipelines within their localities. Provincial/regional railway construction office established for work at earlier stage plays a favorable role in building staff familiar with relevant work and making sustained use of relevant work experience.

Governments at municipal, county and town levels affected by the project

210.Governments at municipal, county and town levels affected by the project are both beneficiaries of the project and bearers of major responsibilities of project preparation and construction within their localities including implementation of land expropriation, relocation and resettlement, issuing compensation, safeguarding normal order of construction within their localities, dealing with disputes and conflicts that may occur during construction, maintaining local social order and protecting rights and interests of affected enterprises and residents. Theses governments are in an embarrassing situation because of its limited administrative power and important role. Therefore, on one hand, local governments should fulfill their responsibilities justly according to state and local policies and regulations while on the other hand, they should make use of advantages of being familiar with local traditions and customs to play the role of coordinating relations, understanding situations and solving conflicts.

211.Through field survey, it is found that governments at different levels affected by the project, especially officials entrusted by their government to assist the work of the project all well understand the project. They have good forecast on potential risks of the project and difficulties in executing their responsibilities and have deep understanding on popular wills and sentiments. They are familiar with people from different walks especially those who will potentially be affected by the project and well trusted by the masses. All of these are important conditions to ensure that they can make proactive contribution to the project.


96


World Bank212.World Bank is one of the loan providers of the project, but its contribution is far from providing loans. For helping project owners to have smooth construction and to reduce risks of loaning, World Bank has established special project group to conduct strict monitoring and professional guiding on project preparation, construction and operational management at different stages based on World Bank’s business policies and rich experience in carrying out international projects. World Bank insists that its security policy should be followed and implemented during the whole process of the project, which is of great significance on improving standardization of policy making and operation and reducing potential risks.

Affected groups and individuals

213.Groups affected by the project refer to village groups affected by land expropriation, enterprises and public institutions affected by land expropriation and relocation. Individuals affected by the project mainly refer to villagers, common residents/officials employees and students of enterprises and public institutions in urban areas who are affected by the project. They may continuously benefit from convenient transportation, local development and other advantages that the project may bring. Meanwhile, they are direct bearer of potential negative effects of the project.

214.Through field survey, it is found that: residents alongside the railway especially rural residents generally have relevant experience of the project at earlier stage. They commonly know the activities of the projects and its positive and negative effects, trust local government and officials. They hope that disputes and conflicts will be resolved through equal discussions and consultaitons, and believe that villagers’ communities can stand for their wills and sentiments. They know necessary means to safeguard their own rights and interest such as appealing to government or legal institutions and have general understanding and support to the project. Their common concerns are: whether affected peasants can be timely compensated with the entire amount, whether house sites of removed households can be arranged timely and reasonably, whether their living standard can be maintained or improved, whether relevant information can be released in time, whether their views can be respected and accepted, whether there are any hidden troubles left by the project on their future production and living, and son on.

Constructor215.Currently, the project is under preparation. Owners have stated that they will hold open biddings strictly following relevant policies and regulations of the state and departments to ensure that qualified construction units take this project and will enhance supervision and management on contractors. Owners have also expressed that they will suggest contractors to give favorable consideration to qualified surplus labor within the project area and resources or products of communities or enterprises alongside the railway when recruiting staff and choosing raw materials.

9.1.2 Stages, means and contents of public participation

216.Public participation of this project are shown in the following ways: Public participation during project preparation; Public participation during land expropriation, relocation and resettlement; Public participation during project construction; Public participation in the monitoring and assessment after project completion197.Contents and means of public participation are shown in the following aspects: Consultaiton; Meetings with relocated people; Field investigation on potential property loss and social and economic situation; Appraisal on compensation standards; Selecting location of new houses; Building new houses by the affected people; Investment from collective compensation; Assistance, advice and training on income recovery

198.Contents of public participation are mainly:


96


In villages: i) Leaders of villages and village groups and representative of villagers will participate investigation and identification of land expropriation, removed houses and their appurtenance. Heads of households, representative of villagers, village cadres, railway supporting office at township level, railway designing units and construction units will all be involved in the investigation. ii) After the investigation, affected people will determine and identify expected loss from their land, buildings and crops. All involved parties should sign on the compensation agreement. Affected villages and farm households, local railway offices and construction units will all keep a copy of the agreement. iii) Location of new house sites has a direct beating on future living and small-scaled business of villagers. Generally, affected households prefer their new houses to be built alongside public roads in order to do business. In selection of new house sites of this project, departments responsible for resettlement will give full consideration to wills of villagers and give plenty of free choices for them to build their new houses. The project will also leave leeway for adjusting and improving relocation plans to affected villages so as to reduce construction of provisional houses. A supervision mechanism will be established according to actual execution of this procedure.

Public participation is an important and necessary step in engineering investigation and design. Investigation and design units will wildly seek for opinions and collect requirement from all parties on the project through deep field survey and holding different meetings for consultaiton and consultancy. Through full discussion with relevant governmental administrative departments and sign agreements to solve series of problems such as water source, drain, location for soil excavating and spoiling, provision of sand and gravel, and other issues that should be considered at preparation stage. In addition, investigation and design staff will have discussions on regional interests with railway supporting office and draft plans of treatment as proper as possible.

Public participation is also an important part in the evaluation process. During preparation of resettlement report (draft), design institutions and departments of making resettlement report have understand issues of common concern of the masses through deep investigation. Through distributing questionnaires and visiting alongside the railway, people at different levels of provincial, district, county, town and village are all involved and have a preliminary understanding on this project. The surveyed farmers are very cooperative who provide detailed information on their family members, floor space, family income and expenditure, housing conditions and durable commodities. They also express their views on resettlement and their attitudes toward construction of Nanguang Railway. The procedure will continue to be executed during the process of making detailed plan of resettlement and implementation.

Construction of the project is also a process of public participation. During construction, peasants and urban residents alongside the railway may have opportunities of employment or participate into construction activities. Materials and raw materials of the project can be purchased nearby, which will promote business of farmers and enterprises alongside.

During and after construction, surveillance and evaluation work also require involvement of public participation. Meanwhile, people will protect their own rights and interest through public participation. Investigation and assessment in surveillance and evaluation need public participation and support.

When carrying out investigation on relocated people, public participation muse be included as part of resettlement plan and that of examination and evaluation after investigation.

9.1.3 Public paticipation in project preparation9.1.3.1 Meetings for resettlement preparation

217. Public consultations and participations are mainstreamed through the project resettlement planning process. This process consists of many planning activites by five planning bodies – three railway design institutes, the Jiaotong University (resettlement planner) and the National Ethnic Minoirty University. Key planning activities include the alignment consultation with local government and communities, inventory survey of impacts, socioeconomic survey (30% sample) and a social assessment. Broad and extensive consultations have been held over alignment optimization, impact surveys and mitigation and restoration approaches. All these have been fed into the planning


96


process. Many meetings have been organized during planning period of the project with relevant administrative department at state, province and local level. See table 9-1. Meetings have also been held with representatives from enterprises that may gain profit from construction and operation of the project. More important, meetings were held with affected villages and urban communities. Excepting for talking with residents, schools and other organizations that may be affected also participated in the meetings. In the meetings, number of affected people, units, schools and enterprises and extend of effect have been discussed. For example, how many people have to be removed; how much land will be expropriated; what are the standards and how many schools have to be removed. Until August 2008, planning making units for resettlement have surveyed 2,212 affected households. Surveys carried by China Railway Eryuan, China Railway Consultancy, China Railway Siyuan are not included in the abovementioned surveys.

Resettlement Plan for Railway from Nanning to Guangzhou

218.Consultations and discussions have been conducted in preparation of land expropriation, relocation and resettlement which will continue during construction. Participants mainly include: Ministry of Railways negotiating with affected provinces, districts and counties; Railway construction units negotiating with local governments; Local settlement departments and land offices negotiating with affected villages and villagers’ communities; Local settlement departments, villages and villagers’ communities negotiating with farmer households.

219.Topics of consultaiton mainly include land expropriation, compensation standards, and relocation of houses, means of rebuilding, timetable of relocation, use of land compensation, and means of settlement and so on.

220.During preparation and implementation of land expropriation and relocation, meetings have been convened between local government and affected people, among different railway supporting institutions, and between railway departments and local departments on various topics including:

Villagers’ meeting organized by village or villager’s communities; Discussions with farmer households organized by departments at county , township and village levels; Meetings with officials of the villages and representatives of villagers organized by department t county , township and village levels; Meetings on plan of resettlement organized by project office at county level and railway supporting office at town level; Frequent work meetings between project office and construction units; Work meetings with county departments organized by district project offices.

9.1.4 Public opinion survey

221.In August 2008, department of making resettlement plan carried out a large scale survey for public opinions. Through random sampling on 309 people of affected villages, we have understood views of relocated people and relevant villages on project construction and resettlement. See Tale 9-2 and 9-3 for results.

222.Generally speaking, most people have get information of the project and shown their agreement. Over half of the surveyed people (78%) have clear information that the railway will be built while 6% do not. However, most people (84%) are in favor of this project while 7% against it and 9% show indifference.

223.People also expressly state that they are concern about the effect of land expropriation and relocation on their current life. When asked about the impact of the project, 47% of the people believe that the project will improve transportation and make it more convenient for travel. 22% of the surveyed people think that the project will improve local investment environment, attract investment and bring more opportunities to local people.

224.People also mention about negative impact. 71% of surveyed people think that the land expropriation will affect their life, 67% expressly state their concerns that land expropriation may reduce their income, 22% believe that local transportation condition will be affected during construction, and 33% think that house relocation will bring losses to affected people.

225.Because final compensation policy hasn’t been determined yet, part of the surveyed people (14%) express that they understand relevant state policies on compensation of land expropriation while over one thirds do not. However, over half of the surveyed people (55%) express that they know about appealing methods to protect their legal rights and interests.

226.During the survey, people raise different suggestions based on their own concerns (See Table 9-3). 94% of the surveyed people hope that the railway construction won’t expropriate their own land and houses. 26% of people suggest that relocated people and households will be properly compensated and settled and be provided with house sites. Therefore, people attach great

WB Loan Project Nannning to Guangzhou Railway 96


importance to whether compensation for land expropriation and relocation follows state policies and procedures with entire amount and in time. They require that departments responsible for resettlement maintain living standard of affected people including choosing place with good communications for resettlement and providing social security to unemployed people. These suggestions show that the public has high expectation on land expropriation, relocation and resettlement.

9.1.5 Public participation plan of relocated people in implementation periods

227.During implementation, every affected village and group will have following two types of meetings for the relocated:

Meetings organized by land office at county or township level with representatives of villages. Main topics of the meetings are illustrating significance of the project, scope; location and time of land expropriation; relevant laws and regulations at state or provincial level. Meetings are always held during consultaiton of some sub-project; Villagers’ communities have to organize the whole village to have a meeting at least one month before decision making. The topics of the meeting will be explaining relevant laws and regulations at state or provincial level; scope and quantity of land expropriation and compensation standards; house rebuilding and resettlement; plans of recovery and income recovery; distribution proportion of compensation between affected collective group and individuals; investment from collective compensation; requirement and plan of life training; listening to views and ideas from participants. Meetings are usually held during implementation agreement of land expropriation and compensation. Public hearing will be held at least one month before resettlement.

9.2 Publicizing and information releasing

228.Publicizing and information releasing should be carried out at early stage of project preparation. Through different kinds of media such as radio, TV, newspaper and other publications, we should widely publicize purpose and significance of the project, time and site of construction, provisions and regulations of conducting state policies of land expropriation and relocation stipulated be government at provincial, district and county level for the purpose of informing local people about relevant issues of land expropriation and relocation.

229.Before demolition in urban areas, we should publish notice on land expropriation and relocation for all affected people in order to make them understand about relevant issues of land expropriation and relocation, scale of land expropriation and relocation, policies of compensation and settlement, provisions on freezing households registration, prohibiting of rush planting and so on.

230.Work of drafting an information handbook of resettlement has already begun. It will be distributed to all affected people and villages through land expropriation and relocation office of local government. The information handbook includes brief introduction on the project, scale, procedure, principles, comprehensive compensation price per unit area and appealing mechanism of the project.

231.Congress of relocated people is also an important form of information release. The purpose of holding the congress is to make all participants have prior information on progress of land expropriation, policies and standards of compensation, countermeasures for houses rebuilding and settlement while collecting feedbacks from the participants.

9.3 Channels for greviance redress

232.Resettlement is a complex task during when there will be dissatisfactions and complains. For protecting interest of affected people, resettlement office will establish a highly transparent procedure for collecting and dealing with dissatisfactions and complains so as to treat them fairly and effectively and to ensure smooth progress of resettlement.

9.3.1 Ways of collecting dissatisfactions and complains

233.Ways of collecting dissatisfactions and complains from relocated people of this project are mainly:



Report from local resettlement office including dissatisfaction, progress, measures and existing problems

Work log from all contractors every week where there is information about whether the construction is affected by people

Field inspection of Nanguang Corporation on problems of land expropriation and resettlement.

Information from IMO Letters and phone calls from affected people Information and problems raised by local resettlement offices Special problems raised by departments of auditing and disciplinary inspection Special inspection from internal and external monitoring

9.3.2 Procedure of greviance redress9.3.2.1 Phase I234.Affected people can express their dissatisfaction to villagers’ communities or local resettlement offices at township level in oral or written form.

10.1.4 Procedures of Implementation248.Internal monitoring work should be done through the following procedures:

(1) The Nanguang Railwy Company introduced an internal monitoring system to inspect relocation activities, set up a data base for land expropriation, buildings demolition and relocation arrangements and monitor the whole process of preparation and implementation of relocation.

(2) Relocation departments at various levels should set up a relocation data base, update it based on real facts and report to their superiors about real time activities and progress of construction so as to keep a continuous monitoring of RAP implementation.

(3) An information form will be made in a standard format for the monitoring system so that a continuous information flow from relocation office of village level to office of the top level can be



achieved. Construction leading office of county (city and district) level and relocation work team of town (township and street) are an integral part of internal monitoring system and will conduct inspection and verification on regular basis.

10.2 External Independent Monitoring and Evaluation System10.2.1 Goals and Tasks

249.The external monitoring system is built to monitor and evaluate the land acquisition and relocation activities on a regular basis from an external point of view in order to assess whether the relocation goas are achieved. With this system in place, comments and suggestions will be made on the whole process of relocation and restoration of living conditions and production, a pre-warning system can be provided for engineering management department and opinions of relocators can be reflected and voiced.

250.The external monitoring organization will be a consultant for MOR land requisition and relocation coordination team and Nanguang Railway Company. It will monitor, evaluate and make comments of RAP implementation.

10.2.2 Monitoring Organization and Personnel251.Foreign Funds Center of MOR will employ an organization to monitor the project relocation by tender.
