Notes to this Update

With the assistance from the PPTA, Jiuquan PMO has prepared a Resettlement Plan for Gansu Jiuquan Integrated Urban Environment Improvement Project (the ―former RP‖) according to the Feasibility Study Report for the proposed project in August 2012 which has reviewed and approved at that stage.

On Feb.26, 2013, Gansu Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued the Reply on the detailed design of the Jiuquan Integrated Urban Environment Improvement Project1 (GPDRC 2013-376). To reflect the latest resettlement impacts, resettlement progress, resettlement policies, an updated version of the RP was prepared with the support from Jiuquan PMO, the design agency, affected persons and related departments.

According to the detail design, the project contents, scope and the impact area have not been changed, but since some land has been acquisitioned in 2012, the Location-based Integrated Land Prices and Uniform AAOV Rates for Land Compensation has been changed in 2012, the update of this RP mainly involves adjustment of resettlement impacts, resettlement policies, latest socioeconomic profile, and resettlement cost & resettlement schedule.

And since the land acquisition of Xifengshi village within Panxuan Road component has been conducted in 2012, to reflect the resettlement process, latest situation and to meet ADB’s policy, a due diligence report was annexed in appendix 11.

For more details about the main updates of the original RP, please refer Table A.

Letter of Commitment

The Jiuquan Municipal Government (JMG) has applied for a loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to finance the Gansu Jiuquan Integrated Urban Environment Improvement Project (hereinafter, the ―Project‖). Therefore, Jiuquan PMO has prepared a Resettlement Plan for Gansu Jiuquan Integrated Urban Environment Improvement Project in the August 2012 which has approved by ADB and issued on ADB website dated on February 2013. Since the detail project design has been proved, the resettlement policy has been changed and the project will be started soon, Jiuquan PMO updated the original RP in accordance with ADB’s social safeguard policies. This Updated Resettlement Plan (URP) represents a key requirement of ADB and becomes a basis for land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement of the Project. This URP complies with the applicable state laws and local regulations. In order to complete resettlement more effectively, this URP includes some additional measures, and implementation and monitoring arrangements.

JMG hereby acknowledges the contents of this URP, and warrants that the budgetary funds under this URP will be included in the general budget of the Project and made available on time. JMG has discussed this URP with the agencies concerned through the Jiuquan Project Management Office (PMO) and Jiuquan Economic Development & Investment (Group) Co., Ltd. (JEDIG), and hereby authorizes the Jiuquan PMO and JEDIG to implement the resettlement work of the Project.

gross investment in the Project is 1.447 billion yuan (about US$230 million).

2) Land occupation and house demolition (HD)

Land acquisition (LA) and resettlement under the Project is caused by the

construction of the road component and the Jiuquan No.2 WWTP; the landscaping

and windbreak cultivation component involves neither LA nor resettlement.

The main resettlement impacts of the Project are the permanent acquisition of

rural collective land, the permanent occupation of state-owned land, the demolition of

rural residential houses, and the relocation of entities.

The Project involves Guanbeigou and Pulai Villages, Xifeng Township, and

Shuimogou Village, Quanhu Township in Suzhou District. 529.1 mu of collective land

will be acquired for the Project, including 305.5 mu for the Panxuan Road extension

(57.74%) and 223.6 mu for the WWTP (42.26%). By land type, this includes 390.2 mu

of agricultural land (73.75%), 4.5 mu of rural construction land (0.85%) and 134.4 mu

of unutilized land (25.40%); 367.94 mu of state-owned land will be occupied

permanently, including 171.2 mu of state-owned Gobi (46.53%), 66.03 mu of

transferred state-owned land (17.95%), 47.86 mu of allocated state-owned land

(13.01%) and 82.85 mu of unutilized state-owned land (22.52%); 350.76 mu of

state-owned land will be occupied temporarily, mainly as existing roads and river flats;

rural residential houses with a total area of 5,624 m2 will be demolished, including

structure (26.26%); urban non-residential houses with a total area of 21,580.45 m2 will

be demolished, and 14 types of infrastructure and ground attachments will be affected.

The Project affects 129 rural households and 21 entities with 670 persons in total, in

which 110 households with 432 persons are affected by the acquisition of collective

land only, 17 households with 67 persons by HD only, and 2 households with 9

persons by both LA and HD, and 21 entities with 162 persons will be affected.

3) Policy framework and entitlements

In order to avoid or reduce negative impacts of LA, adequate consultation was

conducted on the potential site of the Project, the affected village groups and persons

at the feasibility study stage. An optimum option was selected through comparison.

This URP is based on the Land Administration Law of the PRC (2004), the

Decision of the State Council on Deepening the Reform and Rigidly Enforcing Land

Administration (SC [2004] No.28), the applicable policies of Gansu Province, and

ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). According to the above policies, and in

consultation with local governments and affected persons (APs), the resettlement

principles of the Project are: (1) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where

feasible; (2) The APs are granted compensation and rights that can at least maintain

or even improve their livelihoods in the absence of the project; (3) The APs are given

compensation and assistance in resettlement whether legal title is available or not

before the cut-off date; (4) The economic compensation shall ensure that everyone

will at least maintain their standard of living after resettlement; (5) If the land available

to everyone is insufficient to maintain his/her livelihood, replacement in cash or in kind

and other income-generating activities are provided for the lost land; (6) The APs fully

understand their entitlements, the method and standard of compensation, the

livelihood and income restoration plan, and the project schedule, and participate in the

implementation of the Resettlement Plan; (7) No land should be acquired before the

APs are satisfied with the compensation and resettlement (plan); (8) The executing

agency and an independent agency / third party should monitor the compensation,

relocation and resettlement operations; (9) The vulnerable groups (including women)

are provided special assistance or treatment so that they lead a better life, and all APs

should have an opportunity to benefit from the project; and (10) The resettlement

costs are sufficient to cover all affected aspects.

The cut-off date for the eligibility for compensation is Feb. 25, 2013, which have

been disclosed in the project area (see appendix 9).

4) Compensation and restoration

Compensation for permanent LA includes land compensation fees, resettlement

subsidies and young crop compensation fees. LA will affect Xifeng and Quanhu

Townships. Land compensation rates are as follows: road construction component-

benchmark land price disclosed by JMG, and compensation fees will be paid directly

to the proprietor; the occupied allocated land will be reclaimed without compensation

or replaced; the occupied unutilized state-owned land will be reclaimed without

compensation. The benchmark land price for the affected transferred state-owned

land is 167,000 yuan/mu.

The temporarily occupied land is existing state-owned roads or river flats, and will

be restored by the construction agency after completion without compensation.

Demolished rural residential houses will be compensated for at replacement

rates: 640 yuan/m2 for masonry concrete structure, 440 yuan/m2 for masonry timber

structure, 320 yuan/m2 for masonry earth timber structure, 220 yuan/m2 for earth

timber structure, 100 yuan/m2 for simple structure and 30 yuan/m2 for sheds. The

implementing agency (IA) will provide housing sites to the DHs for house

reconstruction. In addition, the DHs will also receive the following compensation: 10

yuan per fixed telephone relocated, 230 yuan per household for relocation of cable TV,

300 yuan per watt-hour meter relocated, and a transition subsidy of 300 yuan per

household per month. According to the Estimated Replacement Price① Provided by

Engineering Cost Management Division of Jiuquan Constrution Bureau, the Aps can

restore their houses with the compensation without additional inputs.

The affected entities will be compensated by the project owner in consultation

with them. The IA and the affected entities has selected an appraisal agency through

consultation for market appraisal and compensation; In May. 2013, 3 appraisal

agencies were randomly selected from the list provided by Gansu provincial

construction department, 21 questionnaires were delivered to all the Aps, among

which, 67% representatives selected Xinnuo Real Estate Appraisal Center as the final

appraisal agency for the urban house demolition and the transfer state-owned land

appraisal. On September 24, 2013, a hearing was held about the compensation rates

for urban house demolition and transferred state-owned land. In Dec. 2013, Xinnuo

Real Estate Appraisal Center provided a latest appraisal result which has posted at

each affected area to collect public opinions. The compensation fees will be paid

directly to the proprietors. According to the appraisal, the compensation rate for

structures in Jiuquan City is 1626-1843 ②yuan/m2. In addition, the transition subsidy,

moving subsidy and compensation for losses from production or business suspension

has also been included into the appraisal price.

The affected population includes 30 vulnerable households, including 4

households with disability, 9 five-guarantee households, 5 women-headed

households, 10 households covered by minimum living security and two ethnic

minority households.

The Project affects 324 women. During project implementation and O&M stage,

women will obtain unskilled jobs in the priorities. In addition, women will receive equal

pay for equal work like men do. However, employment of child labor is prohibited.

Priority will be given to female labor in terms of skills training so as to ensure that their

economic status and income. 800 men-times will be trained, in which female laborers

are not less than 400 men-times (50%). Women will receive relevant information

during resettlement, and are able to participate in resettlement consultation. The

their awareness.

6) Public participation and information disclosure

All APs (with 30% being women) have been informed of the key points of this

URP by various means and involved in the Project, such as meeting, interview, FGD,

public participation meeting and community consultation, and their opinions have

been well incorporated into this RP. The Resettlement Information Booklet (RIB) have

been distributed to the APs or groups in mid August 2013, and the updated RP,

including the Chinese version, will be published on ADB’s website in March 2014. A

grievance redress system has been established. All agencies will accept grievances

and appeals from the APs for free, and costs so reasonably incurred will be disbursed

from the contingencies.

7) Grievances and appeals

An appeal procedure has been established to settle disputes over compensation

and resettlement. The aim is to respond to appeals of the APs timely and

transparently. Grievances about the Project may be from collective LA and HD.

Correspondingly, the Jiuquan Project Leading Group, Jiuquan PMO, JEDIG and the

affected township governments and village committees will coordinate and handle

grievances and appeals arising from resettlement. The APs may file appeals about

any aspect of resettlement, including compensation rates. If an AP is still not satisfied

and believes he/she has been harmed due to non-compliance with ADB policy, he/she

may submit a complaint to ADB’s Office of Special Project Facility or Office of

Compliance Review in accordance with ADB’s Accountability Mechanism①

8) Organizational structure

JMG is the executing agency of the Project.

In order to ensure the successful implementation of the Project, JMG has

established a project leading group for overall leadership and high-level coordination.

The Jiuquan PMO has been established under the project leading group for

routine management and coordination in project implementation, reporting overall

progress and issues to be decided or coordinated at higher levels to the project

leading group, and communication between JMG and ADB.

JEDIG is the IA of the Project, responsible for the implementation of the Project.

In addition, JEDIG and other agencies concerned are also responsible for the

implementation of this URP.

9) Monitoring and evaluation

In order to ensure the successful implementation of this URP, resettlement

implementation will be subject to internal and external monitoring. The internal

monitoring agency is the Jiuquan PMO, and an internal monitoring report will be

submitted to ADB semiannually. The Jiuquan PMO has started to, though still in

process, appoint an independent agency to conduct external monitoring and

evaluation (M&E) semiannually, and M&E costs will be included in the resettlement

1 Overview of the Project

1.1 Background and Description of the Project

1.1.1 Background of the Project

Jiuquan is located at the west tip of the Hexi Corridor in Gansu Province, and is Gansu’s ecological center that draws the attention of state leaders. According to a scientific outlook on development, Jiuquan is being developed into a new energy base and a new energy equipment manufacturing base of China, and Gansu’s regional development strategy has been elevated to the state level. As one of Gansu’s two wings, Jiuquan is vital to Gansu’s development and the implementation of the regional development strategy. Despite of its vast territory, extensive industrial prospect, and vital ecological and geographic position, Jiuquan is characterized by harsh natural conditions, fragile ecology, weak infrastructure, insufficient urban capacity and functionality. The Project is an urgent need for building the city’s ecological barrier, improving its capacity, functionality and living environment, and realizing its sustainable development.

2 Impacts of the Project

2.1 Measures to Minimize LA and HD

2.1.1 Principles for Project Design and Site Selection

Resettlement impacts have been minimized at the design stage on the following principles:

Avoiding or minimizing occupation of existing and planned residential areas;

Avoiding or minimizing occupation of high-quality farmland; Gaining access to the proposed construction sites through existing state

and local roads; Avoiding or minimizing occupation of environmentally sensitive areas; Selecting resettlement sites in compliance with the local development

plan

2.1.2 Comparison and Selection of Options

At the design stage, through the field survey of the project area and the optimization of the project design, negative impacts of the Project have been minimized without affecting the design outputs, especially the amount of resettlement.

For North Binhe Road, The intersection of North Binhe Road and Jiuyin Bridge is

located on the north side of Jiuyin Bridge. 1）recommended option: the existing green belts will be used as the side separation zones, non-motorized and motorized vehicle lanes will be provided, and certain space will be reserved for future dyke improvement and landscaping. 2) Substitutable option: The green belts will be compressed, the side separation zones will be replaced by fences, the existing dykes will be used as sidewalks, and no space for landscaping will be reserved. 3) The optimized option will reduce house demolition area by 1,757 m2 and construction costs by 8,804,200 Yuan.

In addition, at the detailed design stage, the project design will be further optimized to avoid or minimize LA and HD impacts.

2.2 Scope of Impact Survey of LA and HD

In the recommended option, 121 households with 475 persons in 7 groups of 3 villages in two townships, Suzhou District, Jiuquan City will be affected by LA and HD. See

2.3 Survey Methods and Process

In February 2011, the Jiuquan PMO appointed China Northwest Municipal Engineering Design Institute Co., Ltd. to prepare the Feasibility Study Report for the ADB-financed Gansu Jiuquan Integrated Urban Environment Improvement Project.

In December 2011, the project staff from China Northwest Municipal Engineering Design Institute Co., Ltd. conducted a field investigation and collected information with the support of the Jiuquan PMO; in May 2012, the draft Feasibility Study Report was completed, defining the preliminary scope of construction of the Project.

In May and June 2012, the survey team of Hohai University conducted a census on the socioeconomic profile and resettlement impacts of the project area according to the FS Report, and a sampling socioeconomic survey on the AHs, covering household population, impacts of LA, household economic status, and expected resettlement modes. During the survey, the survey team also listened to opinions of the village committees and villagers on LA, HD and resettlement, and conducted extensive consultation. The survey team also interviewed and collected information from the Jiuquan PMO, JEDIG, the Jiuquan and Suzhou District Land and Resources Bureau, the Jiuquan Urban House Demolition and Resettlement Managemnet Office, and the labor and social security bureau to learn the policies and practice of LA and resettlement in Jiuquan City.

In June and July 2012, the RP of the Project was completed on the basis of the FS and survey data, and public consultation. This RP analyzes and evaluates the resettlement impacts and risks of the Project, and proposes preliminary remedies.

In December 2013, a complementary survey was conducted to reflect the latest project impacts, policies and other status.

During the survey, the survey staff also listened extensively to expectations of the village committees and villagers on LA and resettlement, and conducted extensive consultation. The key findings are as follows:

Almost all villagers know that the Project is about to break ground, and support it;

The Project involves the permanent acquisition of rural collective land, the permanent occupation of state-owned land, the demolition of rural residential houses and non-residential houses on state-owned land, and temporary land occupation.

Almost all APs think that they are affected slightly by LA, and they can continue to farm on the remaining land after acquisition; they prefer cash compensation;

Compensation fees should be paid timely and transparently with minimum intermediate steps.

2.4 Permanent Acquisition of Collective Land

The acquisition of collective land is caused by the Panxuan Road extension and the WWTP. Affecting 112 households with 441 persons in 7 groups of 3 villages in two townships, Suzhou District, Jiuquan City. 529.1 mu of collective land will be acquired for the Project, including 305.5 mu for the Panxuan Road extension① (57.74%) and 223.6 mu for the WWTP (42.26%).

By land type, this includes 390.2 mu of agricultural land (73.75%), 4.5 mu of rural construction land (0.85%) and 134.4 mu of unutilized land (25.40%). See Table 2-2. ① Of which, 80.35mu land of Shifengxi village has been finished in Feb.2012. For more details,

48.3%. According to the survey, the affected women enjoy the same rights as men, including land contracting, education receiving, family planning and election. Most of the female labor respondents think that they have the same autonomy in production and management as men, and may elect to get employed or do small business independently. Women do more housework, child care, household sideline operations (e.g., household stockbreeding) and handicraft jobs. The average working hours of women are 1.2 times those of men. Women are more advantaged in social services, apparel processing and like industries, but disadvantaged in the building and transport industries.

Boys and girls have equal opportunities in education, and parents are always willing to support their children’s education.

According to the survey, women have the same concerns as those of men: (a) Compensation rates should comply strictly with the state laws and policies; (b) Compensation fees should be disbursed directly to the AHs; and (c) Housing sites should be allocated in advance.

Women have the following needs that are different from those of men: (a) Women expect both cash compensation and land reallocation; (b) Women want skills training in crop cultivation, stockbreeding and handicrafts; and (c) Women also expect to participate in village-level management.
