1. Introduction
1. This Updated Resettlement Plan should be read in conjunction with the agreed Resettlement
Plan (RP) dated January 2017 available at
https://www.adb.org/sites/default/files/project-documents/49029/49029-002-rp-03.pdf. This updated
RP only covers the Qitai water transmission pipeline component since the final design was completed
in December 2017. Updated RPs for the remaining components under the Qitai County Subproject
will be submitted to the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for review and concurrence once the final
design becomes available; and the detailed measurement survey (DMS), and other
resettlement-related activities are carried out as per agreed RP.
2. Project variation (changes): According to the final design, in order to better meet the water
supply demand of Qitai county, project management office (PMO), and the water supply company (IA)
adjusted the route and length of the water transmission pipeline network after discussion, and the
newly constructed transmission pipeline network is 71.859 km after adjustment. At the same time, in
order to reduce the temporary occupation impact on farmers, the PMO and IA optimized and adjusted
the transmission pipeline network route, to occupy farmers’ cultivated land as little as possible; the
construction of transmission pipeline will be along state-owned unused land as far as possible. More
details are shown in Table 1-1. The construction of transmission pipeline will not entail any permanent
impacts.

2.2. Temporary Impacts on State-owned Land
4. Temporary land occupation impact involved in the subproject is mainly caused by transmission
pipeline network construction. The subproject involves temporary occupation state-owned unused
land for 1121.73 mu, including temporary excavation for 116.90mu, temporary occupation for 1004.83
mu, without ground attachments, and affected people.
5. For state-owned unused land and state-owned construction land occupied temporarily, as
confirmed by the Land and Resource Bureau, no compensation is required. It is required to handle the
related temporary occupation procedures and construction permitting procedures in the Land and
Resource Bureau and Bureau of Housing and Urban, and the construction can start, after the
construction is completed, which will be restored to the original status.

3. Socioeconomic Profile of Affected Areas
9. To learn more about their living and production condition, the suggestions to the subproject of
the affected people and different demands of affected people to the subproject, the specific analysis to
the demands of different people will benefit the identification of the subproject impact and avoid the
negative impact of the subproject as much as possible and promote the smooth implementation of the
subproject. Resettlement consultants ensured full understanding and communication with the affected
groups through the questionnaire survey, interview, discussion, observation and other methods to
learn the demands of affected people, and provided a quantitative material which is consulted by the
local government, opinions of affected people, the demands and concerned problems of women and
ethnic minorities, the social analysis of the affected community, and so on.
3.1. Socioeconomic Status of APs
10. From 9–17 December 2017, resettlement consultant, PMO, Land and Resource Bureau and
relevant personnel of the water supply company conducted socioeconomic survey on population, land,
of engineering water supply company population, land, special facility, and the physical indicators of
different affected people and affected people involved in project impact, and questionnaire was
carried out on 53 affected households (affected by temporary occupation), and held villagers’
meetings.
3.1.1. Affected People
11. The detailed demographic characteristics of affected people are shown in Table 3-1, including
different age, sex, population, education level, and occupation type. In this survey, temporary

3.1.2. Occupations
12. Among the surveyed labor force, there are about 36.77% of them who are planting, accounting
for the largest proportion, 1.79% of them are doing animal husbandry and the scale is very small, and
15.70% of them are migrant workers; and 5.38% are doing business. The survey shows that some of
the farmers contracted out their own land to others for farming; the farmers themselves will choose
working outside to increase income such as catering service, traffic; and some other farmers do
short-term jobs during slack time to increase income. Among the surveyed people, the students
account for 10.76% as shown in Figure 3-1.

3.1.3. Income and Expenditures
13. Due to affected people affected by transmission pipeline construction, mostly villagers in Jibuku
town, Biliuhe town and GuCheng village, the survey found that these affected households are no
longer limited to traditional agriculture, but form a new rural development type which focused on
migrant labor and self-employment income, in addition to farming income. The economic income and
expenditure of affected 53 households are shown in Table 3-2.

14. From Table 3-3, the agriculture income accounting most for 37.85% and the following are the
outside working income and wage income, accounting for 21.84% and 12.11% respectively. Due to
affected people being rural residents, mainly engaged in planting industry, therefore, the proportion of
agricultural income is high. However, the income source of affected households is not limited to
agriculture, but other industries. From the whole income, it was found that the income structure shows
diversification. Detailed income sources are shown in Table 3-3.

4. Legal Framework and Policies
4.1. Laws Regulations and Policies Applicable to Resettlement
16. Specific to temporary impacts, compensation standards have been divided into two parts: (i)
temporary occupation, and (ii) temporary excavation.
4.2. Compensation Standards for Temporary Occupation
17. For the temporary occupation of cultivated land, according to the “Reply on the Uniform AAOV
Rates for Land Acquisition of XUAR (XG [2010] No.323)” and the Implementation of Autonomous
Public Notice on Unified Annual Output Value Standard (XL&R issued [2011] No.19, the temporary
occupation of cultivated land will be compensated in accordance with the compensation base of Class
1 cultivate land that is CNY1,500/mu, the compensation time is calculated by the implementation time;
after the implementation the implementing agency (IA) will need to restore the cultivate land; and the
PMO and affected people will be responsible for the exam. In accordance with the benefits of the
affected people, the Qitai PMO, Land and Resource Bureau consulting with the affected people during
RP updating, finally determined that the cultivated land occupied temporally will be compensated in
CNY1,500/mu, as follows: (1) temporary land excavation, one-time compensation of 8 years will be
paid by PMO for temporary excavation of cultivated land used for land restoration, that is to say
CNY1,500/mu*8 year= CNY 12,000/mu; (2) temporary land occupation, one-time compensation of 4
years will be paid by PMO for temporary occupation of cultivated land for land restoration, that is to
say CNY 1,500/mu*4 year= CNY 6,000/mu.
18. In the process of pipeline construction, temporary excavation will damage cultivated land, and
considering the vital interests of affected people, Qitai county PMO and Land Resource Bureau
consulted with affected people. After consultation, PMO and affected people reached consensus to
add a new compensation standard which is for one-time compensation of 8 years for affected
cultivated land caused by pipeline excavation, which will support the affected people for soil

remediation. The temporary occupation causes smaller losses to soil, and one-time compensation of
4 years is used for land restoration which is already set in the agreed RP of January 2017.
19. For the temporary occupation of state-owned unused land and construction land, as confirmed
by the Land bureau, there is no need for compensation, but only a need to check relevant documents
signed by the Land bureau and Housing and Urban-Rural Construction bureau. After finishing the
subcomponent, it needs to be restored to the original status.

5. Measures to Rehabilitate for Temporary Land Occupation
5.1. Objectives of Resettlement
21. The objectives of the project resettlement are to restore the AHs’ annual net income per capita
to the pre-resettlement level and further improved with local economic development.
5.2. Principles for Resettlement Recovery Plan
22. According to the applicable laws and regulations of the PRC and ADB’s Policy on Involuntary
Resettlement, the following basic principles will apply to the resettlement work of the project:
(1) Implement resettlement and the applicable compensation policies properly to improve or at least
restore the production level and standard of living of the affected residents;
Xinjiang Changji Integrated Urban-Rural Infrastructure Demonstration Project Qitai County Subproject (Updated RP)
21
(2) The affected people shall be fully consulted for resettlement programs;
(3) The planning layout shall be determined on the principle of “facilitating production and life”; and
(4) Resettlement shall be combined with the local urban development, resources development,
economic development and environmental protection programs. Feasible measures shall be designed
to restore and improve the displaced persons’ production level and standard of living, and create
necessary conditions for their self-development.
5.3. Recovery Plan for Collective Land (cultivated land) Acquisition
23. Based on field work and investigation, temporary land occupation is mostly abandoned land,
some parts of land are planted with wheat. The land occupied by the project is barren and lacks
irrigation, and the annual output/value is very low. According to the current average annual output
value and the acquired land area, the annual loss, net income formula for planting crops can be
obtained: iiii pgv f- ( iv
net income/mu; ig
per mu yield; ip
market price; if the total
investment of the crops).
24. For example, for the farmer planting wheat, through the survey it was found that the net output
of wheat is estimated to be 410kg/mu. The market price is CNY2.74/kg, the total planting investment
is CNY675/mu, therefore the net income is ((410kg�CNY2.74/kg) –CNY675/mu) =CNY448.4/mu. It
can be seen that the annual output for per mu is very low. For this subcomponent, the PMO will
compensate CNY1,500 per mu. For temporary cultivated excavation land, the PMO will compensate
one-time for 8 years, which is CNY1,500/mu�8 years= CNY12,000/mu. For temporary occupation of
cultivated land, the PMO will compensate one-time for 4 years, which is CNY1,500/mu�4 years=
CNY6,000/mu. As it’s shown in Table 5-1, currently, benefit of growing wheat comes to CNY448.4, the
compensation for temporary occupation is CNY12,000/mu, and the compensation price is 26.76 times
that of net income. The compensation for temporary occupation cultivated land is CNY6,000/mu, and
the compensation price is 13.38 times that of net income. The value of compensation is much higher
Xinjiang Changji Integrated Urban-Rural Infrastructure Demonstration Project Qitai County Subproject (Updated RP)
22
than the value of planting. Therefore, the temporary occupation of the project will not have much
impact on the production and life of the affected people, especially for the income (Table 5-1).

times
Temporary excavation of land 448.4 12,000 26.76
Temporary occupation of land 448.4 6,000 13.38
25. To improve living conditions and income levels of affected people, the PMO will not only
compensate them, but will also develop livelihood support plan based on full consultation for the APs
and in accordance with the status of the AHs. This will be carried out from June 2018 to December
2019 which is also planned for other components of the Qitai subproject.
26. During the whole restoration progress, the PMO will organize affected people for some
technical training, such as economic crop planting. Relevant technical personnel of the department of
agriculture and labor security will be invited to give the affected people some training on planting and
other aspects. The affected households shall have at least two or more technical training and
non-agricultural production technical training. The economic income and livelihood of affected people
can be improved by these measures and improved skills.
27. To improve living conditions and income levels of affected people as soon as possible, the PMO
will not only compensate them, but will also develop a restoration plan based on full consultation with
the APs and in accordance with the status of the AHs, such as, to organize affected people for some
technical training, like economic crop planting. The relevant technical personnel of the department of
agriculture and labor security will be invited to give the affected people some training on planting. The
affected households shall have at least one or more technical training and non-agricultural production
technical training to improve planting skill and increase income of the affected people.
Xinjiang Changji Integrated Urban-Rural Infrastructure Demonstration Project Qitai County Subproject (Updated RP)
23
(1) Training contents: According to the industrial structure and market demand of Qitai county,
vocational skills training is focused on service industry, service industry, and breeding industry. There
are mainly agricultural technologies, animal husbandry, and so on
(2) Forms of training: there are three methods: vocational skills training, single training, and job
training. Vocational skills training shall be trained by the administrative department of labor security,
various education training institutions, industries, and employers, especially on agricultural technology,
business training, and skills training.
5.4. Protection of Women’s Rights
28. The project affects a total of 111 women. Women will participate fully in resettlement activities
through information disclosure and village meetings, and enjoy the same rights as men in
compensation, employment, and training. In addition, the following measures will be taken to help
women restore income:
Skills training, including training on home services industry, hairdressing and beauty, and
hotel service will be first made available to affected female laborers so that their economic status
is not reduced;
Affected women will receive relevant information, and participate in public consultation and
resettlement.
Affected women will receive relevant information, and participate in public consultation and
resettlement. The compensation agreements must be signed by both spouses.
5.5. Ethnic Minority Development
29. The subproject temporary occupation involved a total of 3 households with 17 ethnic minorities,
including 2 households with 14 Uyghur, and 1 household with 3 Hui nationality. Through the survey,
the minorities live together with the other local groups. The subproject will not involve any house
demolition of minority people and will not separate the minority groups. The subproject will not impact
Xinjiang Changji Integrated Urban-Rural Infrastructure Demonstration Project Qitai County Subproject (Updated RP)
24
their rights of land access and use of resources; therefore, affected minority people in the subproject
enjoy the local social status, and their economic status is consistent with the Han nationality, and they
retain their national characteristics in their habits and religion. The minority population will enjoy the
same rights for compensation, and have priority in employment and training. Overall there is no
difference between the Han and minorities.

6. Public Participation and Grievance Redress
30. According to relevant policies and regulations of the PRC, regional and municipal on LAR, it is
necessary to conduct public consultation and encourage active participation of APs in project
preparation and implementation stages in order to protect the lawful rights and interests of the APs,
reduce grievances and disputes, and realize the resettlement objectives properly. Consultation has
been fully highlighted during preparing the RP and organizing implementation.
6.1. Consultations at Updated Stage
31. The survey respondents were 53 HHs affected by temporary occupation. These surveys are
also intended to make the implementation agency and design unit aware of local conditions and
concerns of the affected people.
32. All affected households have participated in the social impact survey, were fully engaged in
public participation and consultation, and fully expressed their thoughts and wishes. In addition, the
affected people fully understood the content and compensation standards of the project.
33. The resettlement consultants and survey teams investigated affected people through group
interviews and questionnaires. According to the survey results, most of the affected people said they
knew about the project and supported the construction and implementation of the project. Through the
explanation and publicity of village and related staff, the affected people have a good understanding
of land compensation policies as well as compensation standards. At the same time, the affected
people said that if there were non-technical positions during the implementation of the project, they
would be willing to participate in the construction of the project. Most villagers are also willing to
participate if the project or implementation agency provides technical training.
34. As to all significant topics for discussion involved in the planning stage of resettlement, the PMO
has organized meetings and discussions with the design institute, consultant agency, local
communities, and APs to disclose information and conduct public consultation in various ways from 8
December 2017 to 17 December 2017 including:
Xinjiang Changji Integrated Urban-Rural Infrastructure Demonstration Project Qitai County Subproject (Updated RP)
26
(i) Design optimization discussion to minimize land acquisition and resettlement impacts;
(ii) Consultation with managers of affected villages, to get their socioeconomic background and
discuss the LA options and the compensation standards with the villagers; and
(iii) The Qitai PMO and RP preparation agency will make a detailed discussion with the affected
representatives on the draft RP and information disclosure.
35. The public participation and consultation provided a basis for the improvement of the updated
RP.
36. Copies of resettlement information booklets will be distributed to the affected households in
January 2018.
37. Through public participation in conferences and socioeconomic surveys, the concerns of the
affected people are mainly focused on the following aspects:
(i) Since the LA area is not large, the LA will have little impact on their income condition. The
current crop and benefits of the land are not good and have little impact on their income. The
most important issue for the affected people is the compensation standard of land occupation,
and then they hope the compensation can be paid timely and whether crop cultivation training
and livestock breeding technical training can be conducted.
(ii) Land compensation. During the investigation and consultation, Qitai PMO and resettlement
consultants consulted with the affected people on the standard of compensation for the
temporary occupation and finally reached an agreement.
(iii) Due to the construction of pipeline, the production of agriculture may be affected and the
construction process may cause noise, dust, construction waste; and measures have to be taken
to deal with or mitigate pollution.
(iv) The road construction period and dates should be published promptly to inform the residents
living nearby, and let them know the inconvenience in advance.
(iv) As for the temporary land occupation, the affected people hope to sign a temporary land
compensation agreement with the LRB or related departments.
Xinjiang Changji Integrated Urban-Rural Infrastructure Demonstration Project Qitai County Subproject (Updated RP)
27
38. Based on the above discussions, the PMO:
(i) has developed temporary land occupation compensation standards according to the
concerns of the affected people. The compensation standard will be disclosed to the affected
people before the construction. The compensation will be paid on time as soon as the affected
people have signed the temporary land occupation agreement with LRB.
(ii) Discussed with Qitai County People's Government about APs most concerned issues, such
as the resettlement work, and discussed with the labor and social security bureau about the
relevant training issues for AHs.
(iii) has communicated and consulted with the project implementation agency according to the
concerns of the affected households. The construction announcement will be posted in the
construction area 1 month before the project starts to state project construction time and remove
construction waste and garbage during construction period and to reduce damage to the
environment. In addition, the construction work should be carried out strictly in accordance with
the requirements during the construction period, to minimize the impact on farmers' agricultural
production.
39. Some important issues during the project preparation consultation/meeting are listed in Table
6-1.

workshop is aimed at introducing the content of this ADB project for affected person, explain the
ADB project related policies, listen to the villagers' attitude towards the project, existing
problems, and the needs towards the project and the suggestion.
Project content: The PMO introduce the content of ADB project at the beginning of the meeting. Qitai
county coordination urban and rural infrastructure construction demonstration project is a subproject of
ADB financed Xinjiang Changji State coordination urban and rural infrastructure construction
demonstration project. The main content includes four parts: road engineering, water distribution pipeline
engineering, household garbage treatment engineering and capacity building.
Project impact The current construction sub item is water distribution pipeline engineering. The
construction of transmission pipeline will affect 3 townships (Bi Liuhe township, Ji Buku township and Gu
Chengxiang township), 5 villages (Dong Zigou village, Yong Fengqu village, Shang Baozi village, Da
Banhe village and Gu Cheng village). The construction of the project involve a temporary occupation of
347.59 mu of collective cultivated land, including temporary excavation of 59.91 mu cultivated land and
temporary occupation of 287.68 mu occupation land, affecting 53 households with 223 person. Involving
Bi Liuhe township, Ji Buku township and Gu Chengxiang township cultivated land, collective land and
wasteland.
The villagers also participated in the discussion and published their respective opinions. The main
concerns of and the confusion of the affected person are summarized as follows:
(1) The area of land occupation, the standard of compensation and the payment of the compensation;
(2) Specific beginning time of the construction and the construction period;
(3) Whether the construction will affect the crops during the construction.
In response to the above concerns, the PMO respond positively: (1) The land area occupied by
pipeline construction will be based on the direction of the pipeline; the land area and ground class will be
determined by the second investigation image of Bureau of Land Management. At present, the Bureau of
Land Management is doing the final investigation and verification. Land compensation standards are
based on the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region about “the approval of the uniform annual output
standard of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region” (the new letter [2010] No.323) and “notice on
concerning the implementation of the annual standard of annual output of the Xinjiang Uygur
Autonomous Region” (the new homeland issue [2011] No.19). The temporary occupation of cultivated

land will be compensated according to the compensation base of first class cultivated land,
CNY1,500/mu. The compensation time will be divided into two kinds, the excavation will be paid with 8
years, the occupation will be paid with 4 years and the compensation will be paid one-time.
(2) The specific beginning time of the construction will be based on the time of preparation. Therefore,
the preparatory work in the early stage requires that the project office and the affected people cooperate
with each other to ensure the basic interests and carry out the work in an orderly manner. The
construction period is expected to be 1 year, and the actual completion will be less than 1 year.
(3) Due to the construction position is in the middle of the farmer's farmland, the farmer can only cultivate
on both sides, and they become worried the impact on agriculture. The PMO will formulate specific and
optimal construction plans, and the specific measures will be further negotiated with the farmers, to
ensure that the normal crop planting is not affected.
Attitudes and expectations on the project:
For the purpose of the project, it is a people-benefit project and we will fully support it;
The compensation should be paid in time and the construction time needs to be determined as soon as
possible;
The construction cannot affect the normal crop planting of the farmers and affect the harvest
It is also highly desirable to provide assistance, including training and temporary jobs, to increase the
income of farmers.

Zhao Duojun, male, 53 years old, live in Gu Cheng township No.3 team. Three family members in total
and both couples work in agriculture, the only son (27 years old) works at power plant after graduated
from junior college. The family has 24 acres of land, mainly planted wheat, the annual agricultural
income is about CNY50,000, the son monthly salary CNY4,000 and the family income around
CNY100,000. The bigger expenditure in the family is agricultural investment, which can cost
CNY17,000 a year, and the daily living expenses of CNY15,600. The other expenses are not large, the
water bill is CNY126/year, and the current water rate is CNY1.8 per square; electric charge
CNY1,300/year; the heating fee is CNY2,200/year, CNY18.8 per square meter; garbage costs
CNY34/year; gas CNY120/year; medical expenses CNY2,000/year.
Q: Have you heard or heard about the about project? Whether to support project construction or
not?
I have learned that government of Qitai county use the ADB loans to finance the construction of urban
and rural infrastructure in Qitai, including road construction and pipeline network construction. The
construction of the project is to promote the economic development of towns and cities in Qitai county
and improve people's living standard. Among them, the transmission pipeline project involves the
temporary occupation of farmland in Gucheng township. We are in favor of the construction of the
project. This is a government project as well as a people-benefit project. We are not only affected but
also beneficiaries. We will actively participate in the project.
Q: How many cultivated area of your family have been occupied? Do you know the standard of
the compensation?
The construction of transmission pipeline will occupy 0.5 mu cultivated land. The compensation standard
had been told in the workshop held by village committee; the land compensation standard is
CNY1,500/mu by means of excavation and occupation. The recovery compensation for excavation has
been paid for 8 years, and the recovery of the occupation has been compensated in accordance with
the highest standard in Qitai county for 4 years. We are all satisfied with this compensation standard. In
general, the harvest of wheat on an acre of land is CNY400–500.The government also takes into
account the interests of our farmers and raise the land compensation standard to CNY1,500 per mu.
The compensation was two to three times higher than our normal income, and the temporary
occupancy didn't cause much damage to us.
Q: What is your biggest concern during the construction of the project?
Land compensation standards are based on government policies and regulations, but I am more
concerned with the payment method and the time of land compensation, the construction time,
construction period and other specific arrangements. The compensation will be paid in a lump sum
before construction, but the construction time is not yet determined. Therefore, I hope the construction
can be started as soon as possible and the compensation can be paid timely to reduce the impact on
our farmers. In the process of construction, the garbage must be clean up in time, so as not to cause
damage and pollution to the environment.
Q: What are your expectations and recommendations for project construction?
I hope the project will carry out construction work properly, avoid construction in the middle of the road

for the reason that the water supply will be cut and the vehicle cannot move in and will effect on farming.
Additional projects should be carried out with some training in planting techniques or temporary positions
to increase the income of affected people.
