1. Overview of the Project
1.1 Background of the Project
Fujian Province boasts the longest coastline of China, but is increasingly threatened by extreme climates, such as typhoons and seasonal windstorms due to coastline development and global climate change, in which typhoons are especially threatening to fishermen’s lives and properties. Since 2006, fishing boats, harbors and aquaculture facilities in coastal townships of Fujian Province have suffered serious damages by strong typhoons, such as Saomai, Wipha and Krosa. Due to the relatively low design standards of traditional fishing harbors and their insufficient effectively sheltered areas, there are sharp problems in fisher facilities.
In order to support the disaster prevention and relief work of Fujian Province, reduce the vulnerability of local fishermen to extreme climates, and protect fishing boats from damages, the construction of shelter water areas has become the first priority of fishing harbor construction in Xiapu County. For this purpose, the Fujian Provincial Government has applied for a loan with the World Bank for the construction of sheltered fishing harbors in Xiapu County.

1.3 Preparation of Reports on Resettlement
See Table 1-2. Table 1-2 Preparation of Resettlement-related Reports of the Project
No. Project Report prepared Remarks 1 The Project RAP
2 Bank-financed FOTS Training Center Project
Resettlement Due Diligence Report See Appendix 1
3 Sansha Central Fishing Harbor (Phase 1)
Resettlement Due Diligence Report See Appendix 2
4 The Project RPF
The resettlement activities whose types and amounts of impact cannot be identified at present are included in the RPF, as shown in Appendix 3.
This RAP is an analysis of the resettlement work of the Project mainly. See the
Appendixes for the resettlement impacts and measures of the Bank-financed FOTS Training Center Project and other projects.
The land for constructing the FOTS Training Center Project is part of batch land. Its acquisition begun in 2010, and compensation for LA was completed in 2012. All acquired land is collective land without attachment, affecting no one. FOTS and the RAP preparation team have surveyed the resettled APs, interviewed the agencies concerned, collected relevant information, and prepared the Resettlement Due Diligence Report of the FOTS Training Center Project (see Appendix 1).
As of May 2013, sea area withdrawal, compensation and other resettlement activities had been completed for the Sansha Central Fishing Harbor (Phase 1) Project. The Xiapu County Ocean and Fishery Bureau (XCOFB), and RAP preparation team have surveyed the resettled APs, interviewed the agencies concerned, collected relevant information, and prepared the Resettlement Due Diligence Report of the Sansha Central Fishing Harbor (Phase 1) in Xiapu County (see Appendix 2).
Since there are some uncertain impacts on aquaculture before commencement and during construction, especially during the high season of September-December, and there may be some adjustments to the construction plan, there may be some variations in land occupation. A resettlement policy framework (RPF) has been prepared according to the Bank policy (see Appendix 3). Any additional resettlement impact arising from the variation in the range of land occupation or aquaculture impacts will be subject to the RPF.
1.4 Resettlement Funds
According to the Memorandum of the Preparatory Mission for the China Fujian Fishing Harbor Project (P129791) in May 2013, the gross cost of the Project is about 654.8 million yuan, in which the investment in fishing harbor facilities is 468.5 million yuan, and that in the FOTS Training Center and equipment 30 million yuan. The Bank will grant a loan of USD60 million for the Project, where 58% of the gross cost of fishing harbor construction is from the loan. The Project will break ground in 2015 and be completed in 2019. The resettlement budget of the Project is 7.6901 million yuan,
2
which will be included in the gross cost of the Project.
1.5 Measures to Reduce Resettlement Impacts
At the planning and design stages, the design agency and the owner took the following effective measures in order to reduce the local socioeconomic impacts of the Project:
1) At the project planning stage, the local socioeconomic impacts of the Project were taken as a key factor for option optimization and comparison.
2) The design was optimized to reduce the amount of LA, and earth filling will be conducted by rock blasting and backfilling.
3) Construction was scheduled to minimize impacts on aquaculture and fishing households, reduce the amount of sea area withdrawal and fishing facility demolition, and minimize the impact on the local socioeconomic conditions and people’s living standard.
At the RAP preparation and implementation stages, when sea area withdrawal and fishing facility demolition is unavoidable, the following measures will be taken to reduce the local impacts of the Project:
1) Strengthen the collection of basic information, make an in-depth analysis of the local present socioeconomic conditions and future prospect, and develop a feasible RAP based on the local practical conditions to ensure that the APs will not suffer losses due to the Project.
2) Encourage public participation actively and accept public supervision. 3) Strengthen internal and external monitoring, establish an efficient and
unobstructed feedback mechanism and channel, and shorten the information processing cycle to ensure that issues arising from project implementation are solved timely.
1.6 Project Preparation and Progress
1. Bank-financed Projects The progress of the Project is as follows: In December 2012, the Bank identification mission identified the Project; during
April-July 2013, the Bank preparatory mission (three times) prepared for the Project, proposals were submitted for the Project and FOTS Training Center Project to the preparatory mission, the owners determined the preparation agencies of the Feasibility Study Report and Environmental Impact Assessment Report, and consulting agency for the RAP, and the Project progressed smoothly through the design stage. The National Research Center for Resettlement (NRCR) at Hohai University was appointed by the Xiapu PMO to participate in the whole preparation process of the RAP as the consulting agency. During April 7-19 and July-August, 2013, the RAP preparation team conducted a socioeconomic survey in the areas of the Project and related projects, and extensive public participation and policy consultation with the APs. The RAP of the Project was completed in September 2013.
2. Other projects NRCR has assisted the owners and other agencies concerned in preparing

1) The land for constructing the FOTS Training Center Project is part of batch land. Compensation for LA was completed in 2012. FOTS and the RAP preparation team have surveyed the resettled APs, interviewed the agencies concerned, collected relevant information, and prepared the Resettlement Due Diligence Report of the FOTS Training Center Project (see Appendix 1).
2) The Sansha Central Fishing Harbor (Phase 1) is directly associated with Bank-financed Sansha Central Fishing Harbor Expansion and Fenghuo Grade-2 Fishing Harbor in function or benefit, so it is a related project. As of May 2013, sea area withdrawal, compensation and other resettlement activities had been completed for the Sansha Central Fishing Harbor (Phase 1) Project. XCOFB and RAP preparation team have surveyed the resettled APs, interviewed the agencies concerned, collected relevant information, and prepared the Resettlement Due Diligence Report of the Sansha Central Fishing Harbor (Phase 1) in Xiapu County (see Appendix 2).

The land loss rates of the affected villages are generally low, because they are fishery-centered villages where land is not a major source of household income, and villagers live on aquaculture, fishing and outside employment mainly, in which aquaculture and fishing income accounts for 60%-70% of gross household income.
33.9 mu of collective unused land will be acquired in Beishuang Village, in which 3.9 mu is occupied by an abalone processing plant, which has been closed.
Only collective unused land will be acquired in Wen’ao Village, affecting no one. Dajing Village abounds with land resources, but agricultural income accounts for
a low proportion to gross household income, and villagers live on aquaculture, fishing and outside employment mainly. Non-commercial forests that have been contracted to households but laid idle for many years in Dajing Village will be acquired for the Project, resulting in no income loss.
98.9 mu of collective unused land will be acquired in Luxia Village, in which 8.9 mu is occupied by a refrigeration plant and two shipyards. See Section 2.3 for details.
The land rates of the affected villages are within the range of 1.13%-33.9%. Since LA in Beishuang, Wen’ao and Luxia Villages affects no one, the impact analysis of permanent LA (household level) is for Dajing Village only. See Table 2-4.

2.4.3 Impact Analysis
According to the survey, Wen’ao, Dajing and Luxia Villages will be affected in aquaculture by the withdrawal of sea areas for the Project. All of them are fishery villages, where villagers live on aquaculture, fishing and outside employment mainly. In these villages, 55% of laborers deal with offshore and oceanic fishing activities, and fishing income accounts for about 40% of gross household income; the other 45% deal with aquaculture, and would work outside during the non-culture season of March-August, dealing mainly with construction, decoration, catering and apparel mainly, and employment income accounts for about 20% of gross household income; they would return home for aquaculture in the culture season, dealing mainly with kelp, oyster and laver, with one harvest a year. The Project will affect the culture of crab, shrimp, kelp and oyster.
The sea area loss rate of the Project is 0.05%-17.48%, which is generally minor for the affected villages. See Table 2-7. 11 fish rafts in Wen’ao Village will be affected, affecting 6 households with 11 persons. These rafts are placed temporarily in the project area and will be relocated when the culture season begins.
The one AH with two persons in Wen’ao Village deals with crab culture on tidal flats. The one AH with 5 persons in Dajing Village breeds shrimps on 31 mu of tidal flats, with a net output value of about 3,200 yuan/mu, with an income loss of 19,840 yuan/year arising from the Project, corresponding to an income loss rate of 68.41%. The 14 AHs with 52 persons in Luxia Village breed kelp and oyster (148 mu for kelp and 85 mu for oyster), where the net output value of kelp and oyster is about 2500 yuan/mu, with income losses of 17,619.05 yuan/year and 11,805.56 yuan/year arising from the Project, corresponding to income loss rates of 70.48% and 59.03%, respectively.

According to the county ethnic and religious affairs bureau, there is no minority habitat in the project area. The affected population of 86 households with 274 persons contains no ethnic minority. In the 6 affected villages in 3 townships, there is a scattered minority population of 35 only, composed of She and Zhuang people. There is no ethnic boundary in daily social intercourse, and Hokkien and mandarin Chinese are spoken locally. The minority residents have the same income sources as the local Han people, being aquaculture, fishing and outside employment mainly.
2.7 Socioeconomic Impact Analysis of the Project
The Project aims to improve Xiapu County’s resistance to typhoons and other natural disasters, and reduce local losses arising from natural disasters. During its construction and after its completion, it will affect the local social and economic 3Including persons affected by the occupation of aquaculture water surface and moving fish rafts and net cages.
14
conditions, resources and environment to some extent. In April and July 2013, the RAP preparation team conducted a field survey in the project area, visited all affected townships and villages, conducted in-depth interviews with some agencies concerned and villagers, collected relevant information, and held FGDs to discuss the Project’s social impacts. The social and economic impacts of the Project include: 2.7.1 Economic Impact Analysis
The Project will promote local economic development in the following ways: 1. The Project will improve Xiapu County’s resistance to typhoons and other
natural disasters greatly, and offer job opportunities in civil works and transport to local labor during construction, thereby increasing their income.
2. During construction, priority will be given to local construction materials, thereby promoting local infrastructure construction and investment, and offering job opportunities to local residents.
3. The construction agency will make unskilled jobs first available to the APs, including women and the poor.
4. Through communication with the local labor and social security department, training courses held in the project area will be first made available to the APs, and will include crop cultivation, aquaculture and industry transfer skills based on the local socioeconomic conditions and the APs’ needs.
5. The Project will promote the public participation of women. At the project design stage, women’s needs and suggestions will be solicited and incorporated into the project design. On the other hand, the scope, time and location of training will be selected based on local women’s needs so as to ensure that more women are trained and benefit from the Project.
In addition, 60 households with 189 persons will be affected by LA, 22 households with 70 persons by sea area withdrawal and 4 entities with 15 persons by HD. Although they will receive compensation, their income will be affected temporarily.
Through communication with the PMO, project owner and local agencies concerned, the RAP preparation team thinks that the following measures may be taken to alleviate such impact: Prepare a detailed RAP and resettlement policies to restore the APs’ production level and living standard, involve the APs in the consultation and decision-making of construction and resettlement programs, make job opportunities first available to the APs, conduct labor skills training pertinently, and encourage the APs to participate in social insurance. 2.7.2 Impact Analysis of Aquaculture and Fishing Activities
The socioeconomic survey shows that there are only scattered aquaculture households in the project area, which will be affected both permanently and temporarily during construction. In addition, the Project may also affect offshore and oceanic fishing activities during construction.
The PMO will compensate the APs for these permanent and temporary impacts under mutual agreements, and the temporarily affected households may be relocated after construction.
The agencies should take the following measures to mitigate negative impacts: (1) Apply a sectionalized construction approach, and reserve spaces for handling and transport; (2) Notify construction time information to affected fishermen timely so that
15
they schedule their aquaculture, fishing and marketing activities rationally; (3) Schedule construction rationally and ensure safe construction, preferably during the non-fishing season (from May to September); (4) Conduct environmental supervision and monitoring at the construction stage to learn impacts on aquaculture and fishing activities timely for timely adjustment; (5) Select construction machinery that meets the Noise Control Specifications for Industrial Enterprises, and take shock and noise reduction measures to mitigate impacts on aquaculture and fishing activities; and (6) Strengthen control over solid waste and dust, and environmental protection facilities.

See Appendix 4 for the key provisions of the state and local regulations and policies. The key provisions of the Bank policy on involuntary resettlement are as follows:
3. This policy covers direct economic and social impacts5 that both result from Bank-assisted investment projects6, and are caused by, the involuntary taking of land resulting in: (i) relocation or loss of shelter; (ii) lost of assets or access to assets; or (iii) loss of income sources or means of livelihood, whether or not the affected persons must move to another location; or the involuntary restriction of access to legally designated parks and protected areas resulting in adverse impacts on the livelihoods of the displaced persons.
21
10. The implementation of resettlement activities is linked to the implementation of the investment component of the project to ensure that displacement or restriction of access does not occur before necessary measures for resettlement are in place. For impacts covered in para. 3(a) of this policy, these measures include provision of compensation and of other assistance required for relocation, prior to displacement, and preparation and provision of resettlement sites with adequate facilities, where required. In particular, taking of land and related assets may take place only after compensation has been paid and, where applicable, resettlement sites and moving allowances have been provided to the displaced persons. For impacts covered in para. 3(b) of this policy, the measures to assist the displaced persons are implemented in accordance with the plan of action as part of the project.
15. Criteria for Eligibility. Displaced persons may be classified in one of the following three groups:
(a) those who have formal legal rights to land (including customary and traditional rights recognized under the laws of the country); (b) those who do not have formal legal rights to land at the time the census begins but have a claim to such land or assets—provided that such claims are recognized under the laws of the country or become recognized through a process identified in the resettlement plan; and (c) those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying.
16. Persons covered under para. 15(a) and (b) are provided compensation for the land they lose, and other assistance in accordance with para. 6. Persons covered under para. 15(c) are provided resettlement assistanc20 in lieu of compensation for the land they occupy, and other assistance, as necessary, to achieve the objectives set out in this policy, if they occupy the project area prior to a cut-off date established by the borrower and acceptable to the Bank. Persons who encroach on the area after the cut-off date are not entitled to compensation or any other form of resettlement assistance. All persons included in para. 15(a), (b), or (c) are provided compensation for loss of assets other than land.
4.2 Policies and Compensation Rates of the Project
For the Project, the qualification identification criteria, property appraisal rates and compensation rates stipulated in the applicable policies shall not be varied without the approval of the Bank. 4.2.1 Policies of the Project
According to the above RPF, the objective of the Project’s resettlement policies is to minimize negative impacts from LA and the occupation of sea areas, compensate for the economic losses of the affected population reasonably, and assist them in their efforts to improve their living standard or at least to restore it. The policies of the Project are as follows:
Notification in advance Such notice includes the project name, scope of construction, date of relocation
and implementation period. One year before project commencement, project information has been publicized by means of television, broadcast, newspaper, website and posting, and the town governments and the AHs have been notified in the form of open letter or notice in order to obtain their understanding and support, and
22
minimize their losses. The period of announcement will be 15 days. From the date of issue of the
announcement, no entity or individual should rush grow or build any attachment within the range of LA and sea area withdrawal specified in the announcement.
Reasonable compensation The compensation rates of other ongoing projects in the project area will be used
as a reference for the Project. The local land and resources bureau, XCOFB, government departments concerned, project owner, PMO and appraisal agency will appraise the impacts on the AHs, develop compensation and resettlement programs, and finally enter into compensation agreements with the AHs.
Other assistance measures 1. The project owner and PMO will provide employment information (2-3
times/year) together with the Xiapu County Labor and Social Security Bureau, and give free skills training to the AHs (2-4 times/year) from project commencement to help them switch to other industries, and restore their production and income as soon as possible.
2. Eligible fishermen may participate in social security for land-expropriated farmers and new-type social endowment insurance according to Xiapu County’s applicable regulations. 4.2.2 Compensation Rates
On the basis of Bank policy of OP4.12 and relevant policies of Fujian province, PMO conducts several meetings with APs, the heads of the Xiapu County Land and Resources Bureau, and XCOFB , the land acquired and sea areas withdrawn for the Project will be compensated for in accordance with the Compensation Program for Collective Land Acquisition and the Withdrawal of the Right to Use Sea Areas for the World Bank-financed Fujian Coastal Fishing Harbor Construction Demonstration Project as follows:

5. Income Restoration Measures for the APs
5.1 Objective of Resettlement
The objective of resettlement of the Project is to ensure that the APs receive full compensation for their losses, reasonable resettlement and good rehabilitation, so that they can share the benefits of the Project, and also to provide subsidies for their temporary difficulties, so that their income level and living standard are improved or at least restored to pre-project levels in real terms.
5.2 Expected Resettlement Modes
The Project will affect 86 households with 274 persons in 4 villages, two townships. 207.5 mu of collective land will be acquired for the Project, including 44.7 mu of non-commercial forests and 162.8 mu of unused land, affecting 60 households with 189 persons in 4 villages, two townships. The demolition of rural non-residential properties for the Project will affect 4 entities with 15 persons, with a total demolition area of 3,120 m2. 3,192.14 mu of sea areas will be withdrawn for the Project, including a non-culture water surface of 2,916.29 mu and a culture water surface of 275.85 mu, affecting 16 households with 59 persons, and 11 fish rafts will be relocated, affecting 6 households with 11 persons.
It can be seen from the above analysis that though the affected villages will be affected slightly in general, some AHs will still be faced with the negative risk of losing part of income. In order to ensure that the production level and living standard of the households affected by sea area withdrawal are restored effectively, the government agencies concerned, township governments and village committees have developed resettlement modes and income restoration measures. First, the AHs’ land, HD and aquaculture losses will be compensated for in cash; second, the following resettlement modes are available at the option of the AHs through consultation. See Table 5-1.

5.3 Income Restoration Program for APs Affected by LA
The Project will affect 86 households with 274 persons in 4 villages, two townships. 207.5 mu of collective land will be acquired for the Project, including 44.7 mu of non-commercial forests and 162.8 mu of unused land, affecting 60 households with 189 persons in 4 villages, two townships. The non-commercial forests in Dajing Village acquired for the Project have been laid idle, so their acquisition will not affect the AHs’ income, and the income restoration program for them is as follows:
All the 60 households affected by LA support the Project and require cash compensation for LA. They will invest compensation fees in small business, aquaculture and skills training. This mode is easy to operate, and the AHs may use compensation fees for production and livelihood restoration freely. In addition, such measures as endowment insurance for land-expropriated farmers, employment and skills training are also available.
1. Cash compensation In this mode, compensation fees will be based on compensation rates and land
losses in strict conformity with the applicable state and local policies, and paid to the AHs fully and timely without being withheld by the village collective and without land (fishpond) reallocation. Eligible APs may participate in endowment insurance for land-expropriated farmers voluntarily. If any acquired land is collectively owned, compensation fees will be fully paid to the collective for public facility construction.
During resettlement, the project owner will compensate the AHs for their lost income in accordance with the Compensation Program for Collective Land Acquisition and the Withdrawal of the Right to Use Sea Areas for the World Bank-financed Fujian Coastal Fishing Harbor Construction Demonstration Project (XSAIM [2013] No.32). Actual compensation rates will not be lower than those specified in Table 4-1.
2. Social security According to the Notice of the Xiapu County Government on Issuing the Opinions
on the Implementation of Social Security for Land-expropriated Farmers in Xiapu County (XCG [2012] No.74), land-expropriated farmers may participate in social security for land-expropriated farmers in Xiapu County voluntarily.
1) Subjects: Registered agricultural population with remaining per capita cultivated area of not more than 0.24 mu after the acquisition of rural collective farmland according to law within the administrative area of the county, having attained 16 years upon LA, and having the right to contract rural collective farmland will be included in the endowment insurance system for land-expropriated farmers, and those having not attained 16 years upon LA but having the right to contract rural collective farmland will be included when attaining 16 years.
2) Benefit: The benefit of endowment insurance for land-expropriated farmers is 100 yuan per capita per month. In addition, a benefit adjustment mechanism for endowment insurance for land-expropriated farmers will be established to adapt to economic development and price index variation.
No cultivated land will be acquired for the Project. During implementation, any
26
additional AP who is eligible for the Opinions on the Implementation of Social Security for Land-expropriated Farmers of Xiapu County (XCG [2012] No.74) will be included in the social security system for land-expropriated farmers.
3. Employment The skilled and unskilled jobs generated by the Project will be first made available
to the AHs, and at least 30% of unskilled jobs will be available to them; public welfare jobs offered by local governments will also be first made available to the AHs.
4. Skills training Since the 4 affected villages are fishery villages, skills training will be offered to
the APs as they expect and they may get trained voluntarily. Table 5-2 Income Restoration Programs for the Villages Affected by LA

5.4 Resettlement Program for Demolished Rural Non-residential Properties
The demolition of rural non-residential properties for the Project will affect 4 entities with 15 persons, and all land occupied by them is collective unused land.
The two entities affected by HD, namely Beishuang Village Cheng Likang Abalone Processing Plant and Lin Shangcong Refrigeration Plant, will be relocated voluntarily on the basis of cash compensation or relocation to offered premises by the owner. The contractual compensation price for Cheng Likang Abalone Processing Plant is 300,000 yuan. Since this plant was closed in 2012, no other resettlement measure is available. For Lin Shangcong Refrigeration Plant, estimated compensated price is 140,000 yuan, and the specific amount will be agreed on during resettlement on the basis of the market value .In addition cash compensation, the owner promises to construct a refrigeration plant in the jetty land area, and make it first available for lease to the proprietor.
Wang Changshu Shipyard and Chen Changwen Shipyard will be affected temporarily by construction. Wang Changshu Shipyard runs in the aquaculture season only, less profitable, and Chen Changwen Shipyard has already been closed. If the operation of any shipyard is inevitably affected during construction, the owner promises to fully compensate for its losses.
27
5.5 Income Restoration Program for APs Affected by Sea Area Withdrawal
3,192.14 mu of sea areas will be withdrawn for the Project, including a non-culture water surface of 2,916.29 mu and a culture water surface of 275.85 mu, affecting 16 households with 59 persons, and 11 fish rafts will be relocated, affecting 6 households with 11 persons, affecting 22 households with 70 persons. The sea area loss rate of the affected villages is 0.05%-17.48%, which is generally minor for the affected villages. All of these villages are fishery villages, where villagers live on aquaculture, fishing and outside employment mainly. The withdrawal of sea areas for the Project will affect shrimps and crabs on tidal flats, and kelp and oyster in aquaculture.
Construction will commence after harvest where possible. If construction will affect the income of aquaculture households inevitably, not only their losses will be compensated for in cash, but also income restoration programs suited to local economic and social conditions will be developed, including offering new aquaculture sea areas, social security, employment and skills training.
1. Cash compensation During resettlement, the project owner will compensate the AHs for their lost
income in accordance with the Compensation Program for Collective Land Acquisition and the Withdrawal of the Right to Use Sea Areas for the World Bank-financed Fujian Coastal Fishing Harbor Construction Demonstration Project (XSAIM [2013] No.32). Compensation includes compensation for sea area, seedlings and sea attachments.
The affected fish rafts in Wen’ao Village are placed temporarily in the project area, and will be relocated for aquaculture. If these fish rafts are not relocated at the commencement of construction, the owner will consult about compensation fees with the AHs. Compensation fees for the aquaculture AHs in Wen’ao, Dajing and Luxia Villages will be paid by the owner before the commencement of construction via the township governments and village committees. Actual compensation rates will not be lower than those specified in Table 4-2.
2. Offering new aquaculture sea areas According to interviews with the PMO and project owner, the project owner
promises to pay full and timely cash compensation to the aquaculture AHs, and also offer new aquaculture sea areas or tidal flats to them so that they can continue with aquaculture and their living standard is not reduced. The aquaculture AHs may move to new sea areas within the village Administration （outside the Haven area） for aquaculture. In addition, the Changchun Town Government has 1,400 mu of tidal flats available for lease to the AHs.
3. Social security No social security policy for sea-expropriated fishermen has been enacted in
Xiapu County, mainly because: (1) In the county, sea-expropriated fishermen have been included in social endowment insurance for urban and rural residents; (2) Although the Project will affect aquaculture activities to some extent, such impact will be mitigated by offering new aquaculture sea areas or tidal flats; and (3) The APs may participate in endowment insurance for urban and rural residents voluntarily.
Therefore, during resettlement, the APs may participate in endowment insurance
28
for urban and rural residents voluntarily in accordance with the Notice of the Xiapu County Government on Issuing the Interim Regulations on Social Endowment Insurance for Urban and Rural Residents of Xiapu County (XCG [2012] No.125) to enjoy benefits.
1) Subjects: All urban residents ineligible for basic endowment insurance for employees, and rural residents having not participated in basic endowment insurance for employees within the administrative area of the county, having attained 16 years may participate in endowment insurance for urban and rural residents voluntarily at their places of household registration.
2) Contribution: The endowment insurance fund for urban and rural residents consists of individual contribution, collective subsidy and government subsidy.
Individual contribution: The insured should pay premiums as stipulated at levels of 100-3,000 yuan per annum, with 100 yuan per level, to be chosen by the insured voluntarily.
Collective subsidy: Eligible village collective economic organizations should subsidize individual contribution at a level resolved at the village congress. Other social groups, and social and economic organizations are encouraged to subsidize individual contribution.
Government subsidy: The government will pay full basic pension to the insured eligible to receive such pension, and grant a subsidy at 30-50 yuan per capita per annum:
In case of the contribution level of 100 yuan, the government subsidy will be 30 yuan per capita per annum;
In case of the contribution level of 200 yuan, the government subsidy will be 35 yuan per capita per annum;
In case of the contribution level of 300 yuan, the government subsidy will be 40 yuan per capita per annum;
In case of the contribution level of 400 yuan, the government subsidy will be 45 yuan per capita per annum;
In case of the contribution level of 500-3000 yuan, the government subsidy will be 50 yuan per capita per annum.
3) Benefit: The basic pension is borne by the government, namely 55 yuan per capita per month, and will be adjusted by the State Council from time to time.
Monthly individual account pension = balance of individual account /139 4. Employment The skilled and unskilled jobs generated by the Project will be first made available
to the AHs, and at least 30% of unskilled jobs will be available to them; public welfare jobs offered by local governments will also be first made available to the AHs.
5. Skills training Since the 4 affected villages are fishery villages, skills training will be offered to
the APs as they expect and they may get trained voluntarily. Table 5-3 Income Restoration Programs for the Villages Affected in Aquaculture

farmers employed, and job fairs are organized regularly; 2) Training patterns closely associated with employment needs and vocational skills are applied, including school-enterprise cooperation, order-based training, oriented training and fixed-job training; 3) Free vocational skills identification is conducted to help those having difficulty in employment get employed; 4) Urban and rural laborers, and startup entrepreneurs are encouraged to attend business startup training; 5) Eligible enterprises are guided to give skills training and on-the-job training to employees.
A skills training program has been developed in order to improve the reemployment capacity of the APs. Since local farmers mostly deal with aquaculture and fishing activities, training should be conducted irregularly, preferably before and after the Spring Festival. According to the program (see Table 5-5), 180 men-times will be trained within two years.

8. Implementation Plan
8.1 Principles for Progress Coordination between Resettlement and Project Construction
According to the implementation schedule of the Project, construction will commence in March 2014, and the construction period will be two years. The resettlement schedule will be linked up with the construction schedule of the Project; the main part of resettlement will begin in the second half of 2013 and end at the end of 2013. The basic principles of scheduling are as follows:
1) Resettlement should be completed at least one month prior to the commencement of construction;
2) Sufficient time must be allowed for resettlement before the commencement of construction.
8.2 Schedule for Key Resettlement Tasks
8.2.1 Principles for Schedule Preparation
1) The Project should be announced 6 months in advance;
2) XCOFB will hold a relocation mobilization meeting that involves the displaced households and the agencies concerned to disclose the compensation and resettlement policies, and the resettlement options;
3) Compensation fees will be settled and paid after contract signing and before land use;
4) The resettlement work should be inspected so as to satisfy the displaced households.
8.2.2 Resettlement Schedule
The general resettlement schedule of the Project has been drafted based on the progress of project construction, and resettlement preparation and implementation. The exact implementation schedule may be adjusted due to deviations in overall project progress. See Table 8-1.

9. Public Participation and Grievance Redress Information disclosure, public participation and grievance redress at all stages of the
Project are a prerequisite to realizing the project objectives and ensuring that the APs benefit from the Project. According to the field survey, public participation activities involving agencies concerned and AP representatives have been conducted under the leadership of the PMO and owner at the preparation stage. This chapter will analyze the information disclosure and public participation activities on resettlement only.
9.1 Strategy and Modes of Public Participation
According to the policies and regulations of the state, Fujian Province and Xiapu County on resettlement, it is very necessary to conduct public participation at the 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 by developing sound policies and implementation rules on displacement and resettlement, preparing an effective RAP, and organizing implementation properly. The project management agencies should take appropriate measures and consult with the APs by different means:
1. Direct methods FGD with APs
FGDs are held with representatives of the APs or village officials to discuss key concerns of the APs, collect their opinions, and consulted with local governments about these concerns.
Resettlement consultation meeting Resettlement consultation meetings are organized by the resettlement offices with the
APs to notify and discuss resettlement options, and solicit their opinions on improving the RAP.
2. Indirect methods The APs reflect grievances, opinions and suggestions through village committees,
and resettlement management and monitoring agencies at different levels, and the resettlement offices feed back and handle such grievances, opinions and suggestions according to established procedures.
9.2 Completed Public Participation and Consultation Activities
During October 24-25, 2011, the Foreign Economic Cooperation Center (FECC), Ministry of Agriculture conducted a preliminary survey on the Project in Fujian Province, visited the Sansha Central Fishing Harbor and Songshan Grade-2 Fishing Harbor in Xiapu County, and held an FGD in Xiapu County.

9.4 Public Participation Plan for the Next Stage
Different participation and consultation activities will be held at different stages. At the project implementation and resettlement stages, the PMO will also pay attention to public participation and information disclosure, and communicate with the AHs adequately to ensure the successful implementation of the Project.
With the progress of project preparation and implementation, the APs should be further consulted in order to handle their issues and requests on resettlement properly and timely so that all issues can be handled before the implementation of the RAP. The resettlement implementing agencies will schedule public participation meetings rationally so that all AHs have an opportunity to be consulted about compensation agreements before they enter into such agreements with the resettlement implementing agencies. The public participation and consultation activities of the next stage include:
1) Issuing the announcement on withdrawing the right to use sea areas The county government and village committee will issue such announcement to
identify subjects of compensation, covering the location, site and size of the land to be acquired or sea area withdrawn, right to use, use, place of registration of compensation, agency implementing LA and sea area withdrawal, prohibitions, and other items.
The period of announcement will be 15 days. From the date of issue of the announcement, no entity or individual should rush grow or build any attachment within the range of LA and sea area withdrawal specified in the announcement.
The Xiapu County Land and Resources Bureau, and XCOFB will identify subjects of compensation for land and sea area use within 10 days of the date of announcement for 10 days.
2) Registration of compensation for land and sea area use; 3) Signing agreements for land and sea area use; 4) Compensation and payment schedule; 5) Detailed restoration measures; 6) Issues arising from resettlement implementation;
45
7) Other concerns of the APs. The schedule for the next stage of consultation between the resettlement offices and
the APs is shown in Table 9-2. According to the working schedule of the resettlement offices, public consultation meetings may be held irregularly in the affected towns and villages, and relevant information will be reflected to the project management agencies in the form of report. The monitoring agencies will not only participate in the consultation activities organized by the resettlement offices, but also consult with the APs about monitoring issues, collect their opinions and suggestions, and provide monitoring information to the competent departments at different levels independently.

9.5 Appeal Procedure and Handling
During preparation and implementation of the RAP, consistent attention will be paid to
46
the participation of the APs and an appeal mechanism will be established. The appeal procedure is as follows:
All agencies will accept grievances and appeals from the APs for free, and costs so reasonably incurred will be disbursed from contingency costs.
At the whole construction stage, the above procedure will remain effective so that the APs can use it to solve relevant issues. The above appeal channel will be disclosed to the APs via the RIB and mass media.
During the implementation of the RAP, the resettlement offices should register and manage appeal and handling information, and submit such information to the PMO in writing on a monthly basis. The PMO will inspect the registration of appeal and handling information regularly, and will prepare a registration form for this purpose, the format of which is shown in Table 9-3.

Internal monitoring will be implemented by the Fujian and Xiapu PMOs, and other departments concerned (e.g., XCOFB) jointly to ensure that resettlement activities are conducted pursuant to the principles and schedule of the RAP. The purpose of internal monitoring is to keep the resettlement agencies functioning properly during implementation.
The Fujian and Xiapu PMOs will run an internal monitoring mechanism to inspect resettlement activities, establish a basic resettlement database, and use it to prepare the RAP, monitor all AHs, and conduct internal supervision and inspection of the whole process of resettlement preparation and implementation. 10.1.1 Implementation Procedure
During implementation, the town governments will collect and record resettlement information from the monitoring samples, and report real-time activity records to the Xiapu PMO timely to maintain continuous monitoring. The PMO will inspect implementation regularly.
Information forms of specified formats will be prepared in the above monitoring mechanism to realize a continuous mechanism from the town governments to the FPMO. As an integral part of the internal monitoring system, the Fujian and Xiapu PMOs will conduct inspection and verification regularly. 10.1.2 Scope
1. Investigation, coordination of and suggestion on key issues of the resettlement and implementing agencies during implementation;
2. Restoration of the household income of the APs; 3. Restoration and resettlement of vulnerable groups; 4. Payment, use and availability of compensation fees for resettlement; 5. Level of public participation and consultation of the AHs during
implementation; 6. Resettlement training and its effectiveness; 7. Resettlement implementing agencies, staff and working efficiency.
10.1.3 Internal Monitoring Reporting
The Xiapu PMO will submit an internal monitoring report to the Bank semiannually. Such report should indicate the statistics of the past 3 months in tables, and reflect the progress of land acquisition, resettlement and use of compensation fees through comparison. Table 10-1 and Table 10-2 provide some formats.

10.2 Independent External Monitoring
Independent M&E means the regular M&E of resettlement activities by an independent M&E agency. The independent monitoring of the Project will be conducted by an independent agency with relevant experience.
Independent monitoring is conducted on all resettlement activities by an agency independent of resettlement implementation with a comprehensive, long-term point of view. The external M&E agency will follow up the resettlement activities to see if the state laws on resettlement, and the Bank’s operational policy on involuntary resettlement (OP4.12) are complied with, and if the production level and living standard of the APs are improved or at least restored to pre-project levels. The external M&E agency will give suggestions to the implementing agencies based on issues found during monitoring so that such issues can be solved timely. 10.2.1 Independent Monitoring Agency
As required by the Bank, the FPMO will appoint a qualified, independent agency experienced in Bank-financed projects as the external M&E agency.
The external M&E agency will conduct follow-up M&E on resettlement activities regularly, monitor the progress, quality and funding of resettlement, and give opinions. It will also conduct follow-up monitoring on the production level and living standard of

V. Resettlement program and implementation The resettlement work of the Sansha Central Fishing Harbor (Phase 1) Project
resettlement has been completed. Since the affected aquaculture area is small and the AHs may move to sea areas outside the project area for aquaculture, the resettlement modes of this project include cash compensation, employment training and social security.
(1) Cash compensation: According to the survey, the compensation fees for LA and sea area withdrawal l have been timely and fully paid to the satisfaction of the APs.
(2) Employment training: In order to promote the reemployment of the
56
land/sea-expropriated fishermen, the Xiapu County Labor and Social Security Bureau, and Sansha Town Government provide free job referral to get land/sea-expropriated farmers employed, and job fairs are organized regularly, apply training patterns closely associated with employment needs and vocational skills, including school-enterprise cooperation, order-based training, oriented training and fixed-job training, and encourage urban and rural laborers, and startup entrepreneurs to attend business startup training. The APs may attend skills training voluntarily and for free.
(3) Social security: All land/sea-expropriated farmers in this project have participated in social endowment insurance for urban and rural residents. Since the LA and resettlement work of this project was completed in 2011, while the Opinions on the Implementation of Social Security for Land-expropriated Farmers of Xiapu County (XCG [2012] No.74) were issued in 2012, these farmers have not been entitled to social security for land-expropriated farmers.
VI. Resettlement satisfaction survey To learn the satisfaction of the AHs with sea area withdrawal and resettlement in
the project area, the RAP preparation team conducted a sampling survey on the AHs. It has been learned that the APs know the resettlement policies quite well, and most of them are confident in income restoration. Due to their slight income loses, most of them are confident in income restoration. In this survey, 10 fishing households affected by the Sansha Central Fishing Harbor (Phase 1) Project were chosen, and 5 of them were interviewed in dept. The survey results are as follows:

It can be seen that most APs know and accept the compensation policies very well, and believe that the government will implement them.
In addition, the RAP preparation team interviewed 5 AHs in depth to learn the AHs’ present socioeconomic conditions and existing issues. The key information is as follows:
1) In the project area, land is not a main income source, so LA will have little impact on income. Most APs earn income from fishing, aquaculture and outside employment. They think that they will be affected by this project temporarily, and will deal with aquaculture outside the project area.
2) Some APs expect labor skills training offered by the government in order to increase household income, especially apparel processing, catering service and ship driving.
3) Some APs say that they have no other skills than aquaculture, and expect to receive unskilled jobs under this project.
It has been learned that no complaint visit, lawsuit or any other leftover issue arising from sea area withdrawal has occurred in this project, and the sea area withdrawal work of this project have been successful to date.
VII. Conclusion 1. The owner has paid full compensation to the AHs, and resettlement has been
completed. 2. To date, the LA and sea area withdrawal procedures, compensation rates
and resettlement programs of this project have complied with the applicable state laws and regulations, and resettlement activities according to law.
3. Through reasonable compensation and effective resettlement, the APs are quite satisfied.
4. It has been learned that as of April 2013, no complaint visit, lawsuit or any other leftover issue arising from sea area withdrawal had occurred in this project, and the sea area withdrawal and resettlement work of this project had been successful.

Appendix 3 RPF
I. Background Due to the relatively low design standards of traditional fishing harbors and their
insufficient effectively sheltered areas, there are sharp problems in fisher facilities. In order to support the disaster prevention and relief work of Fujian Province, reduce the vulnerability of local fishermen to extreme climates, and protect fishing boats from damages, the construction of shelter water areas has become the first priority of fishing harbor construction in Xiapu County. For this purpose, the Fujian Provincial Government has applied for a loan with the World Bank for the construction of sheltered fishing harbors in Xiapu County.
The stockyards, borrow areas and access roads that may result in temporary land occupation, but the impacts thereof have not been identified yet. In view of this, the Xiapu PMO and RAP preparation team have prepared this RPF to ensure that the APs maintain their production level and living standard or benefit from this project during and after construction. The Xiapu PMO promises to conduct subsequent resettlement activities in accordance with this RPF, and these activities will be reflected in external M&E reports.
II. Objectives, principles and terms of the RPF 1. This RPF is based on OP4.12 “Involuntary Resettlement” in the World Bank
Operational Manual issued in December 2001, and the overall objectives are: 1) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized,
exploring all viable alternative project designs. 2) Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should
be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs, providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits. Displaced persons (DPs) should be meaningfully consulted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs.
3) DPs should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher.
2. This RPF defines the principles and objectives of resettlement, and appropriate guidelines, rights, and legal and institutional framework, compensation and restoration patterns, participation characteristics, and appeal procedure for resettlement, and is used to guide compensation, resettlement and restoration matters.
3. Each RAP should be based on identifiable basic information collected, and include the following aspects:
1) Those whose aquaculture or fishing activities are wholly or partly affected by the Project (permanently or temporarily);
2) The transition period of resettlement should be minimized, and restoration measures should be made available to all APs before the intended starting date;
59
3) Acquisition programs of land and other assets, and restoration measures available should be consulted with the APs repeatedly to ensure minimum interference; the APs will be empowered before the intended starting date;
4) The existing service and resource levels of each community should be maintained or improved;
5) Whenever and wherever necessary, the financial and material resources for resettlement and restoration should be available, and the budget of the RAP should include contingencies;
6) The institutional arrangements should ensure that properties and resettlement are designed, planned, consulted and implemented timely and effectively;
7) The implementation of the RAP should be supervised, monitored and evaluated timely and effectively.
II. Preparation of the RAP 4. The preparation and implementation of the RAP (including the payment
of all resettlement costs) will be the responsibility of the XCOFB. 5. The RAP will cover the following (if relevant), and anything unrelated to
the Project should be specified in the RAP: 1) General description of the Project; 2) Identification of potential impacts of the Project; 3) Objectives (the main objectives of the resettlement program); 4) Socioeconomic studies: The findings of socioeconomic studies to be
conducted in the early stages of project preparation and with the involvement of potentially displaced people;
5) Legal framework: The findings of an analysis of the legal framework, covering the scope of the power of eminent domain and the nature of compensation associated with it, the applicable legal and administrative procedures, environmental laws and social welfare legislation, laws and regulations, and any legal steps necessary;
6) Institutional framework: covering the identification of agencies responsible for resettlement activities and NGOs that may have a role in project implementation; an assessment of their institutional capacity, and any steps that are proposed to enhance their institutional capacity;
7) Eligibility: Definition of DPs and criteria for determining their eligibility for compensation and other resettlement assistance;
8) Valuation of and compensation for losses; 9) Resettlement measures: a description of the packages of
compensation and other resettlement measures that will assist each category of eligible DPs to achieve the objectives of the policy;
10) Environmental protection and management; 11) Public participation and consultation, where the APs and the related
communities must be included; 12) Integration with host populations: measures to mitigate the impact of
resettlement on any host communities;
60
13) Grievance procedures: affordable and accessible procedures for third-party settlement of disputes arising from resettlement
14) Organizational responsibilities; 15) Implementation schedule; 16) Monitoring and evaluation; 17) M&E.
6. The Abbreviated RAP covers the following minimum elements: 1) a census survey of DPs and valuation of assets; 2) description of compensation and other resettlement assistance
to be provided; 3) consultations with displaced people about acceptable
alternatives; 4) institutional responsibility for implementation and procedures for
grievance redress; 5) arrangements for monitoring and implementation; and 6) a timetable and budget.
7. The RAP should be completed no later than 6 months before the starting date of resettlement, and implemented after approval by the Bank. IV. Institutional and legal framework
8. The institutional framework of the RAP will be implemented in accordance with the applicable laws of the state, Fujian Province and Ningde City on sea area use and compensation.
9. The main laws, regulations and policies of the state used to prepare such framework and ensure its legal validity are as follows:

10. The purpose of preparing the RAP is to ensure that the APs have sufficient opportunities to replace their lost assets, and improve or at least restore their income level and living standard. To realize this purpose, all APs should be identified, and it should be ensured that all APs think the remedies defined in the RAP are rational. In consideration of the main types of impact (e.g., sea area and tidal flat occupation, demolition of aquaculture facilities), the following measures are usually taken:
11. APs losing sea areas will be entitled to the following compensation and restoration measures: According to the Land Administration Law of the PRC, the Law of the PRC on
the Administration of Sea Areas and other applicable laws, sea areas are owned by the state, and the right to use sea areas shall be lawfully obtained for the use of sea areas by any entity or individual. In the project area, farmers losing land will receive full compensation for LA, while none of the APs has obtained a sea area use certificate. However, these coastal fishermen have been dealing with aquaculture on this sea area, and the occupation of this sea area may affect their income, In order to protect their lawful rights, and maintain social stability, they should be granted a certain amount of compensation.
Income losses, young crops and damaged facilities of those affected temporarily by the Project will also be compensated. 12. Proposed compensation rates:
According to the preliminary survey of the project area, and the policies of Xiapu County, the possible compensation rates are as follows:

VI. Implementation process 13. Lawful approval formalities for sea area use must be obtained before sea
area withdrawal in the project area. 14. Compensation, resettlement and restoration should not begin until the
RAP has been approved by the IAs. 15. The RAP should include an implementation schedule for all activities to
be conducted. If necessary, compensation payment, other entitlement restoration measures (in cash or in kind) and resettlement should at least be completed one month before sea area withdrawal. VII. Financing arrangements
16. As stated in Paragraph 10, XSAIM (implementing agency) will assume all LA, sea area withdrawal and resettlement costs. Any RAP consistent with this RPF must include estimated costs and a budget. Whether identified as DPs at the RAP preparation stage or not, all those adversely affected by sea area withdrawal are entitled to compensation or any other appropriate relief measure. For the above reason, the budget in the RAP should include contingencies, which are usually 10% or more of the estimated resettlement budget in order to cover contingent resettlement costs.
17. The compensation rates specified in the RAP provide a basis for the calculation of compensation fees for resettlement, which should be fully paid to individuals or collectives losing land or other assets, and should not be deducted for any reason. The RAP should describe by what means compensation fees are paid to DPs. A rationale is that the fund flow should be as direct as possible with minimum intermediate links. VIII. Public participation and information disclosure
18. The RAP must describe all measures taken or to be taken, involve the APs in the proposed resettlement arrangements, and foster the sense of participation in livelihood and living standard improvement or restoration activities. To ensure that the APs’ opinions and suggestions are fully considered, public participation should be prior to project design and the implementation of resettlement relief measures. Public participation must run through the whole RAP implementation and external monitoring process.
64
19. At the RAP drafting and finalization stages, the Xiapu PMO and other IAs should also disclose the RAP to the APs and the public at certain places of the project site and in certain languages. IX. Appeal procedure
20. Since the resettlement work is conducted with the participation of the APs, no substantial dispute will arise. However, in order to ensure that APs have a channel to file an appeal on any issue concerning sea area withdrawal and resettlement, an appeal procedure must be established. Stage 1: If any AP is dissatisfied with the RAP, he/she can file an oral or
written appeal with the village committee or township/sub-district resettlement office orally or in writing. In case of an oral appeal, the committee or office shall handle such appeal and keep written records. Such appeal should be solved within two weeks.
Stage 2: If the AP is dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 1, he/she may file an appeal with XSAIM after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within 7 days.
Stage 3: If the AP is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 2, he/she may file an appeal with the Xiapu PMO after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within 7 days.
Stage 4: If the AP is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 3, he/she may escalate such appeal to the competent administrative authorities in accordance with Administrative Procedure Law of the PRC after receiving such disposition for arbitration.
Stage 5: If the AP is still dissatisfied with the arbitration award, he/she may file a suit in a civil court in accordance with the Civil Procedure Law of the PRC after receiving such award.
X. M&E 21. The Fujian and Xiapu PMOs should supervise and monitor the
implementation of the RAP, and record and archive supervision and monitoring results for reporting to superior authorities.
22. Internal monitoring and supervision: 1) Check implementation, including checking the baseline information, valuation
of asset losses, and the implementation of compensation, resettlement and restoration rights according to the RPF and the RAP.
2) Monitor if the RAP is implemented as designed and approved. 3) Check if the funds for RAP implementation are appropriated timely and fully,
and if such funds are used in a manner consistent with the RAP. 4) Record all appeals and their solutions, and ensure that appeals are handled
timely. 23. Independent external monitoring: Independent agencies or individual
consultants will be appointed to perform period external M&E on the implementation of the RAP. Such agencies or individuals may be academic or institutional organizations, NGOs or independent consulting firms, but must have qualified and experienced staff.
65
24. In adaptation to the internal supervision information and monitoring reports checked, the external M&E agency will perform a sampling survey after 6 months of implementation of the RAP. The main objectives are: 1) To evaluate if the participation and compensation payment procedures, and
restoration rights are implemented practically, and consistent with the RPF and the RAP;
2) To evaluate if the RPF objective of improving or at least maintaining the living standard and income level of the DPs has been realized;
3) To gather qualitative socioeconomic impact indicators of project implementation; and
4) To propose suggestions for improving the implementation procedure of the RAP in order to realize the principles and objectives of this RPF.
