1. Introduction

1.1 Brief Introduction of the Project

Asia Development Bank (ADB) financed Chongqing Urban-Rural Infrastructure Development Demonstration

Project II aims to attain socially inclusive and economically balanced growth by integrating urban and rural

development in Chongqing. Given its imbalanced urban and rural growth which resulted in socioeconomic

development gaps, the project will selectively enhance development potentials of small and medium sized cities and

villages through:

(i) Economically and environmentally sustainable water sector reform;

(ii) Urban flood risk management for various river sizes; and

(iii) Improving local road connections between poverty stricken remote areas and their nearest urban centers.

The Project includes seven physical components and one consulting service:

(i) Chengkou urban-rural road network improvement;

(ii) Shizhu urban-rural road network improvement;

(iii) Fuling urban-rural road network improvement;

(iv) Wanzhou Yangliu water supply plant;

(v) Youyang Longtan River flood management (Youyang County has withdrawn from the subproject list and is

no longer financed by ADB);

(vi) Wulong Wujiang River flood management;

(vii) Rongchang Rongfeng River flood management;

(viii) Consulting service subproject.

1.2 General Resettlement Action Plan

All of the 6 components of Chongqing urban-rural infrastructure construction project prepared Resettlement

Plans (RPs). The resettlement plans are prepared based on detailed measurement survey of the project impact and

fully asking for villagers’ opinions in accordance with the requirements of the ADB and the related domestic policies.

The resettlement plans summarized relevant policy frameworks and puts forward effective measures to alleviate the

negative effects caused by the project, through a series of public participation in activities and full consultation. All

policies proposals and compensation measures in the RPs are committed to achieve “to make sure those who have

lost their land or property inevitably in the developmental plan obtain the same or better livelihood and living

standard in state of “no project”.

The staff from the External Monitoring Agency carried out site investigation of the ADB projects located in

various districts and counties in December 2017 and at the beginning of January 2018, and interviewed affected

people and conducted household survey. In addition, they met with leaders of the land acquisition offices and

2.1 Rongchang RongFeng River Comprehensive Flood Control Subproject

2.1.1 Project Impacts

(1)Permanent Land Acquisition Impacts

Permanent land occupation area for the Rongchang subproject is 465 mu, including 150mu of collective

land and 315mu of state-owned land. Collective land acquisition area includes cultivated land of 98.5 mu,

homestead of 4.5mu, wood land of 40mu and other collective land of 7mu. In implementation, the actual

permanent land occupation area for the Rongchang subproject is 412.52mu, include 97.52mu of collective land

and 315mu of state-owned land has been acquired or occupied, affecting 6 villager groups in 3 villages

(communities) of 2 towns, with totaling 178 AHs and 700 APs.

(2)Temporary Land Use

According to URP, 65 mu land will be temporarily used, affecting 2 HHs and 10 APs. During implementation

stage, no land needs to be used temporarily after design optimization. (3)House Demolition Impacts

Since construction design has been optimized during the execution of the Rongchang subproject, it was pointed

out in the EMR of phase 2, compared with that in final RP, the 10 households’ houses will not be required to be

removed finally. There is no update on the monitored data in this phase.

2.1.2 Payment Status of Resettlement Fund

The land required for Rongchang subproject has been completely acquired; and the compensation for land

acquisition of Section 1 totals approx. RMB 16,860,098.89, and RMB 13,193,783.28 has already been paid; the

compensation for land acquisition of Section 2 is RMB 16,583,720.43, and RMB 13,423,404.84 has been paid.

2.1.4 Companies Demolition Impacts

No enterprise has been affected by the Rongchang subproject, and needs to be relocated.

2.2 Fuling Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project

2.2.1 Permanent Land Acquisition Impacts

(1)Permanent Land Acquisition Impacts

It was found out in this monitoring that the URP was acquired 427.94 mu land, and the Fuling subproject has

actually acquired a total of 417.05 mu permanent land, in which the permanently-acquired collective land for

Section A totals 77.94 mu, and the permanently-acquired rural collective land for Section B totals 339.11mu

(collective land 277.67 mu and state-owned land 61.44 mu). Furthermore, the affects in Section A approx. 120

people in 20 households, and Section B affects approx. 672 people in 157 households.

(2)Temporary Land Use

According to the latest monitoring results, material stacking is required for road construction. It is predicted

that the area is less than 20mu, and compensation will be made. It is predicted to determine the specific area at Mar

of 2018.

2.2.2 Payment Status of Resettlement Compensation

RMB 11,289,100 of land compensation payment for Section A has been made, and RMB 13,069,100 of land

compensation payment for Section B has already been made to various village levels, and has yet to be made to the

individual affected person. Then the cash compensation will be distributed according to the list of APs upon their

signatures. Since some individual AP’ land boundary has not been clearly demarcated, the compensation cash is not

yet to be made to the APs. Furthermore, the cash compensation for related collective land has already been

distributed to village communities, and then will be distributed to the villagers upon their discussions in the village

representative meeting; Taking Tujing’s Group 2 for example, 30% of the land compensation for the village owned

land (not contracted land) will be given to the village groups for collective purpose, while the remaining 70% will be

distributed to the eligible villagers according to the resolution of villager public meetings. At the same time, there is

a special situation in Fuling subproject section B. The Fuling subproject has acquiredd part of the collective forest

land, and the collective forest land belongs to the village collective. The measurement of the forest land area needs

more time because there are disputes on the boundary of farmer`s forest land and village collective forest land.

Figure 2.1 Certificate for payment of Fuling land acquisition

Since design changes are to be made for several road sections and such changes proposals have been submitted

but still waiting for the checking by the design institute, the construction is going slowly; the contract price for the

The Fuling District urban-rural road network reconstruction project mainly relates to the relocation of three

enterprises. In August 2017, the IA and the enterprises have requested a third company respectively to assess the

value of those three enterprises. However, no agreement has been reached upon the value of enterprise property due

to big differences between the prices offered by both Parties. Now Fuling County development and reform

commission is in charge and coordinates the compensation negotiation. According to the latest results of such

negotiation, Fuling Jiayu Mining Co., Ltd. has already agreed to the cash compensation of RMB 21 million, but a

specific compensation agreement has not yet to be signed. The negotiation with other two enterprises is still in

progress, which does not affect construction progress at the present. Table 2-4 Progress of Compensation and Relocation of Three Enterprises in Fuling

2.3 Wanzhou Water Supply Subproject

2.3.1 Project Impacts

Wanzhou subproject involves a permanent land occupation of 196.2mu, of which 151.2 mu is state-owned land,

45 mu is collective land (owned by the Chongyan village committee, and leased to Tianmao Agricultural Co., Ltd.

and Jishen Agricultural Co. Ltd. for greenhouse vegetables planting). Tianmao and Jishen leased 220 mu of

collective land from Chongyan village for business from 2005, of which 45mu is acquisitioned for this subproject.

According to the previous monitoring data, the companies had stopped planting before the land acquisition, so the

land acquisition does not have significant impact on the enterprises.

2.3.2 Payment Status of Resettlement Fund

The land acquisition and house demolition of the Wanzhou subproject have been completed, and a total of

RMB 4,034,725 has been paid for compensation sake.

2.3.4 Companies Demolition Impacts

As of December 2017, all land acquisition, house demolition and compensation for the Wanzhou water plant

subproject have been completed. Both Tianmao and Jishen has relocated itself in Sept 2017 (all relocation work has

been completed). The attachment compensation agreement has been concluded by and in between the Water

Supply Plant and Jisheng Agriculture Development Co., Ltd. as an example listed below.

2.3.5 House Demolition Impacts

According to the previous monitoring by EMT, a sum of relocation and resettlement compensation has been

paid by the Three-Gorges Project then to the sole household villager named Liu Guangcai who has not moved out;

thus, no more compensation will be made to him this time in terms of the regulations. It was found out during this

monitoring that, Liu Guangcai household has already been relocated, and Rangdu Town Government has rented a

house for his family as their living place, and Randu Town Government has paid the rent of 2017 year, and Randu

Town Government will continue paying all of rent fees in the following years until they pass away. Furthermore,

Liu Guangcai and his wife have transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural, and enjoy endowment insurance

for their basic living standards. See the following figure for the evidence for Liu Guangcai family’s residence.

2.4 Chengkou County Urban and Rural Road Reconstruction Project

2.4.1 Project Impacts

(1)Permanent Land Acquisition Impacts

By the end of June 2017, Chengkou subproject has acquired 358.18mu of collective land,including 74.79 mu

of cultivated land, 2.0 mu of residential land, 232.99 mu of forest land and 49.4 mu of wasteland. According to the

current monitoring, the project currently has a total land acquisition area of 358.18 mu, 75AHs and 300APs. Due to

the length extension of tunnel entrance alignment from 1750 m to 1875 m, there is still one mu left unfinished to

complete the total land requisition.

The details are shown in table 2-1. (2)Temporary Land Use

According to the latest resettlement plan, 68 mu land will be used provisionally and affect 28 households;

further, 15 mu land will be used temporarily during this phase due to rerouting of construction, which has no

negative impact on the residents.

2.4.2 Payment Status of Resettlement Fund

The land compensation fees of the Chengkou subproject will be paid directly by the government to the affected

persons; the budget of land acquisition fees is RMB 8.465 million, by the end of Jan 2018, RMB 5.079 million has

been paid to the LA office by IA. 40% of cash compensation for individual villager has not been paid because some

of detailed land areas for affected villagers are being identified finally. Part of name list of affected farmer who

received the land compensation payment is shown in figure 2.7.

As shown in the figure 2.6, the actual compensation standard for arable land is 10000 yuan/mu, 2000 yuan/mu

for forest land. The affected farmers provide land certificates, identity cards and bank cards, and the LAR office

pays 100% of the land compensation fees to affected farmers by cash. Vegetables and food crops compensation have

not been paid to the farmers so far. No non-agricultural policy is implemented and additional cash compensation of

1,500yuan/mu for improving land quality has not been conducted by Chengkou government even these subsidies

have been presented in URP.

EMT noticed that the standard compensation rate in URP is 13,000 yuan/mu, but the actual rate is

10,000yuan/mu which is lower than that in URP. EMT will check the actual compensation rates (including land,

vegetables, young corps, standing crops and etc.), relevant government documents, public consultation records or

discussion records with APs in the coming site survey. These will be the main concerns in next report.

2.5 Wulong River Flood Control Project

2.5.1 Project Impacts

(1)Permanent Land Acquisition Impacts Permanent land occupation area for the Wulong subproject is 255.62mu, including 76.48 mu of collective

land and 179.14 mu of state-owned land. Collective land acquisition area includes cultivated land of 3.37mu and

other land 73.11 mu. As Wulong ADB project and other projects are mixed together, the numbers of affected

households can`t be counted easily, the villager leader promise that statistics need for further verification.

(2)Temporary Land Use The Wulong subproject will occupy about 200 mu land, in which 116.78 mu is collective land (including 33.35

mu flood land), and 80.59 mu is state-owned reserve land.

2.5.2 Payment Status of Resettlement Fund

compensation of RMB 26,962,500 has been paid by IA, and the compensation of RMB 479,100 for attached objects

has been paid by IA., and the resettlement subsidy for urbanized residents has not been paid because the name list of

ubanied farmers has not been decided finally.

2.5.4 House Demolition Impacts

House demolition area for the wulong subproject is 483.46m2, affecting Chengdong Village, Xiangkou Town,

Wulong County, with 2 households and 8 persons. According to last monitoring data, house demolition for 2

households has been completed. No update occurred during this phase of EMR.

2.5.5 Companies Demolition Impacts

The project involves the demolition of two companies, namely Tobacco Re-drying Factory and Chengcheng

Automobile Repair Plant

1. Chengcheng Automobile Repair Plant

Page 28: Resettlement Monitoring Report · 2018-07-13 · Resettlement Monitoring Report #5 Semiannual Report January 2018 People's Republic of China: ... 3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies

Temporary factory has been provided, and workshop and office rooms have been set up there. Presently, some

old cars have been moved to temporary factory, and equipment has not yet to be relocated. The agreement has been

signed and cash compensation has been received by Chengcheng Automobile Repair Plant.

Since the land occupied by ADB project does not affect the operations of Chengcheng Plant seriously, the Plant

owner does not intend to relocate the plant very soon, and it is still in operation. The specific relocation

compensation cost and agreement see the figures below.

Relocation compensation detail is shown in the figure 2.13. (1) the rate of relocation subsidy is 30 yuan /m2,

relocation subsidy is 174060yuan=2901m2 x30 x 2; ,(2) attachment compensation is 1,330,151.3 yuan; (3) the

subsidy for temporary steel frame shed is 120,213.6yuan= 1001.78m2 x 120 /m2; (4) the total relocation

compensation in a lump sum is 1,624,424.9yuan. (5) after signing of the agreement, the IA shall pay 50% of the

2. Tobacco Re-drying Plant still in operation 1) The Tobacco Re-drying Factory is administered by the Municipal Tabacco Bureau, thus communication needs

to be made with the Bureau. The Tobacco Re-drying Factory will not be relocated until an approval for such

relocation has been obtained from the Bureau. By the end of Jan 2018, the approval by the Bureau has not been

issued even the location has been proposed by Wulong government. The EMT will continuously pay close

attention to the relocation approval process for the Tobacco Re-drying Factory.

2) Since the construction only refers to the Factory’s two warehouses, the remaining warehouses can still be used

for storage. Thus, the affected two warehouses can be demolished at present and does not affect the construction

progress. The inventory of the tobacco factory can be put inside the remaining warehouses.

3) The Tobacco Re-drying Factory has a total land area of 57.3 mu. The ADB project only occupies 11.89 mu, the

area of the building demolition is estimated of 13,344.2 m2. The quantity of area will be subject to the finally-

affirmed land area (the data in the document of Figure 2.16 is an estimated data).

4) A temporary site has been built at Baima industrial park; since the site has to be inspected by professionals to

see whether it meets the operation requirements of the Tobacco Re-drying Factory. At present, the Factory has

not been relocated to the temporary site yet, and inspection results will be issued after the spring festival in Feb.

2018.

5) Yangjiao Town is the location for the permanent new factory. Then, a third party evaluation agency will be

invited to value the old factory and the new factory and compare their price difference. Cash compensation or

refund shall be made based on such difference. However, ADB project IA will only compensate the part of

the Factory affected (two warehouses).

6) The Wulong government has approved the compensation scheme on acquisition of the Tobacco Factory on 11

Dec 2017 see Figure 2.18 and waiting for the approval of Chongqing Municipal Tobacco Bureau.

7) The documents issued by the government are shown in the figure 2.18~2.21, the main information is

summarized below:

(1) the total area of demolished houses is about 13,988 square meters;

(2) the compensation unit price for each item has been estimated by the specified appraisal

company(Chongqing Kanghua Asset Appraisal Limited Company), such as cable car house: 3210yuan/m2, re-

dry workshop: 3390yuan/m2, warehouse: 3210yuan/m2 and etc.

(3) take cash compensation;

(4) Water, electricity, television, closed-circuit, gas and other facilities will be compensated when the whole

plant is relocated, and does not be considered this time.

(5) The transition subsidy for productive houses is 40 yuan/m2 for each movement; .

2.6 Shizhu County Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project

2.6.1 Project Impacts

(1)Permanent Land Acquisition Impact

In URP, Shizhu subproject requires 642.90 mu rural collective land permanently, including 182.3 mu cultivated

land and 460.6 mu forest land.

The permanent land acquired includes 636.7178 mu collective land and 7.79 mu stated-owned land in previous

monitoring. According to the latest monitoring, up to now, 675.5078 mu land is permanently acquired, among which

31mu forestland is newly required due to landslides in this period. In total, 1043 persons in 299 households

distributed in 12 groups of 5 villages of 3 towns in Shizhu County have been affected.

Since part of the road subgrade is located in unstable geological area, landslide occurred after excavation, so

the road alignment needs to be relocated and additional land needs to be acquired. About 2km in Section B and 1km

in Section A are affected by such case. Estimated 31 mu additional land is acquired permanently.

(2)Temporary Land Use

According to URP, 390.75 mu land will be temporarily used, affecting 129 HHs and 510 APs. During

implementation stage, about 30 mu land needs to be used temporarily after design optimization, and the details has

not be provided by IA in this EMD.

2.6.2 Payment Status of Resettlement Fund

The land compensation for the affected farmers in Huangshui Town has been paid, but the resettlement fees for

non-agricultural has not been paid to the affected villagers. It is expected that the said resettlement fees will be paid

by the spring festival in Feb 2018.

RMB 4,047,780 of the land compensation for Yuelai Town has been directly paid to the affected farmers with

a total of RMB 4,224,557. The remaining part will be paid after the Spring Festive when the farmers come back

home from outside working. The resettlement fees for non-agricultural has not been released to the farmers, it is

expected that the said resettlement fees will be remitted to them in March and April of 2018.

The land compensation for individual households of Yuchi Town has been paid. The resettlement fees for non-

agricultural will be remitted after the Spring Festival.

Figure 2.22 LA overlapping costs of Fengxiangping Resort

Before the ADB project, another local project had acquired the land of the Fengxiangping Resort. At that time,

the land acquisition fees had not been cleared. The ADB Yuehuang Road project had acquired 5.706mu lands,

affecting 11 households. According to the minutes of the Yuelai Town 39th Meeting, the town government has

approved that the land compensation of Fengxiangping will still be paid to the APs by ADB Yuehuang project at the

same rate in URP, no matter how much compensation fees have been paid in previous project..

Up to Dec 2017, 10 householders have obtained the land compensation. Only affected farmer Zeng Xiangmu

rejects to get the land compensation fee because he wants to become a non-agricultural resident. But Zeng has only

0.337mu acquisitioned land which does not meet the requirement of the urbanization policy of 1.81mu acquisitioned

land. Zeng has submitted a complaint letter to the Grievances Office and is being processed even LAR officers have

explained the policy to him several times. The LAR officer said that Zeng`s complaint is not reasonable.

2.6.3 House Demolition Impacts

In the last phase’s monitoring, the housing demolition and compensation work for Shizhu subproject have been

completed. There is no update for this phase.

2.7 Evaluation and Conclusion

Generally speaking, the IAs in various districts and counties have paid the compensation for land acquisition

quickly, but it will take a relatively long time to distribute the cash compensation to individual households due to the

following main causes: (1) Farmers have dispute to the area of the land requisitioned. The farmers believe that the

land measured should be more, so DMS has been conducted once again; (2) There is argue on clear boundary

between farmers; (3) There is a difference between the land area recorded in the land certificate and actual land area

because the contracted land has changed several times; (4) Some affected farmers can`t come back home in time to

process compensation program; (5) Some farmer families have an internal dispute.

Page 36: Resettlement Monitoring Report · 2018-07-13 · Resettlement Monitoring Report #5 Semiannual Report January 2018 People's Republic of China: ... 3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies

29

Since the distribution scheme of the compensation of village reserved land needs to decide by the village public

meeting, it will take a relatively long time to remit the 20% cash compensation to farmers.

The compensation for housing demolition has been basically paid in time.

The relocation of enterprises has seriously lagged behind due to difficulty in reaching an agreement in the

valuation of enterprise property. It needs to be coordinated by the government authorities in case.

In addition, the compensation distribution of each district or county was done in different ways. For example:

the cash compensation for in Shizhu was paid directly by Shizhu town’s land acquisition and house demolition

office to the farmers’ individual accounts while the cash compensation in Fuling was paid by Fuling’s land

acquisition and house demolition office to the village committees and then paid to the farmers.

Since only the rural elders and women are living in villages in most of rural regions, they cultivate grains and

vegetables for their own food sake, and their family incomes mainly come from the outside work of young villagers,

thus the land acquisition will not affect their life/income basically. On the contrary, the cash compensation could

improve their living standards.

For the work from agricultural to Non-agricultural residents, Rongchang has completed in 2017. Shizhu has

confirmed the non-agricultural numbers and will pay resettlement fee very soon. Wulong and Fuling is still in

processing.

2.8 Recommendations

1) Compared with the last phase’s report, there is no big progress achieved in the relocation of enterprises in Fuling.

It is recommended that Fuling’s State Development and Reform Commission and other related governmental

authorities coordinate and discuss with Shankaimen and Xinmiao Companies to speed up the relocation work ASAP.

2) A proper distribution scheme related to village collective forest land compensation in Fuling road Section B

should be put forwarded ASAP by village meeting in order to pay such compensation cash to villagers soon.

3) Urge the land acquisition office of Chengkou to speed up the area identification of individual affected household

so that the affected AHs could get compensation soon.

4) Urge the land acquisition office of Wulong and Shizhu to speed up the work on transferring from agricultural to

non-agricultural and payment of resettlement fees.

5) Urge the land acquisition office of Shizhu to speed up the work on payment of resettlement subsidy. Table 2-6 The remaining resettlement compensation issues

3. Urbanization of APs

Since projects are located in various regions, the amount of per-capita cultivated land in those regions varies

greatly. For example, the per-capita cultivated land of Qinglong group of Xincheng village of Shizhu Yuelai Town

is 2.4mu, and the per-capita cultivated land of Gucheng group of the said village is 1.68 mu while it is only 0.5 mu

for Rongchang’s Changzhou Sub-district. Thus, the standards for transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural

vary greatly. Furthermore, the attitudes of APs towards transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural also vary.

Since the project area in Rongchang and Wulong have been overall urbanized, and the land of APs adjacent to

commercial area are becoming more and more expensive, those APs are not active in transferring from agricultural

to non-agricultural. On the contrary, since Shizhu and Fuling projects are located at remote mountain regions, the

APs have less income from land cultivation. They are keen to get better living guarantee through transferring from

agricultural to non-agricultural.

The municipal policy for transferring from agricultural residence to non-agricultural residence is the same,

namely, a person can get a quota for transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural if its land acquisitioned is no

less than the per-capita cultivated land. The mode of determining those persons to be urbanized is also basically the

same, namely, for other APs whose acquisitioned land is less than per-capita cultivated area shall be determined by

the villager meeting through discussions. And this is the common solution for the project construction in Chongqing.

There are the four basic rules for determining the transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural by village

meeting:

(1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Direct

transferring: a quota for transferring will be offered to an AP if its land acquisitioned is no less than the

per-capita cultivated land; The agricultural population to be converted into urban status is the sum of

the acquired cultivated land area and 0.5 times the acquired non-cultivated land area divided by the per

capita cultivated area of this village before land acquisition. But the village meeting normally use this

simple standard to determine who can get the quota of the non-agricultural.

(2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Negotiatio

n and adjustment between APs: in case an AP’s land acquisitioned is insufficient and less than the per-

capita cultivated land standard, he has to obtain other AP’s land quota through negotiation with the AP

to make up the shortfall in order to get an urbanization quota via buying land in cash or replacing land

3.1 Rongchang RongFeng River Flood Control Comprehensive Renovation

3.1.1 Non-agricultural Progress

EMT visited the Rongchang project area from 13 to 14 Dec 2017. To understand the progress and policies on

the resettlement and non-agricultural, EMT had a serial meetings with minster Hu of IA, Ms Liu of IA, secretary

Zhang and Ms Li from Changzhou Sub-district, director Li of Rongchang Fenggao Sub-district, and Interviewed

village managers and APs. A timeframe is shown in Table1-1.

As of the end of December 2017, Rongchang subproject has finished the transferring from agricultural to non-

agricultural for the APs, and have completed the transferring of 160 APs vs the planned 160 persons, in which 9 APs

are from Huangjinpo village of Changzhou Sub-district, 92 APs are from Hailuo village, and 59 APs are from

Donghu community of Fenggao Sub-district. And the resettlement compensation fees for all urbanized APs have

been fully paid. EMT has checked with both officers and villagers during survey that there is no any transition

allowance provided by the government (provisional transition allowance of 2,000 yuan/mu in RP).

Up to Dec 2017, all of the APs need to be urbanized in ADB Rongcheng project have been urbanized, 160

persons in total, and resettlement subsidies have been paid. Table3-1 Implementations of Transferring from Agricultural to Non-agricultural in Rongchang Subproject (as of Dec. 2017)

3.1.2 Rongchang non-agricultural Case Study

We found out that the mode of determining the list of APs transferred into non-agricultural and of distributing

compensation fees for village collective land in various villages is very similar after carrying out a household survey

of the community directors, village group leaders and some of villagers of Huangjinpo (only relating to Group 11),

Group 9 of Hailuo Community (since the villagers of Group 8 have bought new houses somewhere, even the current

location of the village committee is unknown) and Donghu Community of Fenggao Sub-district (Group 2, 3 and 4).

Since there are many APs in Hailuo Community who were transferred into non-agricultural, we selected Group 9 of

Hailuo Community of Changzhou Sub-district for our case study, and the community’s Director Li, village group

leader Ou and some villagers attended the interview meeting.

Figure3.4 Interviewing Group 9 of Hailuo Community

(1) Features of transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural in the Rongchang Rongfeng river project

Two features are as follows:

(i)Rongchang project and Wulong project are similar in that their surrounding areas are overall urbanized. Based

on the land acquisition of different projects, all of the APs will be transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural

eventually, with the difference of one to two years in time.

Page 42: Resettlement Monitoring Report · 2018-07-13 · Resettlement Monitoring Report #5 Semiannual Report January 2018 People's Republic of China: ... 3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies

35

(ii) Most of the APs in Rongchang are not proactive in the transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural. First,

since suburban land is becoming more and more expensive, and the residents in suburban area will receive more

compensation if their land are acquisitioned later, thus most of the APs in the projects do not wish to be transferred

into non-agricultural soon, which is completely contrary to the case of APs proactively pursuing non-agricultural in

such remote areas such as Shizhu and Fuling. Secondly, even young villagers are turned into non-agricultural now,

they have to pay a sum of cash as pension insurance margin to the Social Security Bureau, the younger, the more

payment; Furthermore, they will not receive pension until they become 60 years old, and they can`t get much

benefit in the near future.

(2) The Government determines the policy and the quota of transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural

The Land and Resources Bureau will calculate the per-capita cultivated land (for example X mu). The

agricultural population to be converted into urban status is the sum of the acquired cultivated land area and 0.5 times

the acquired non-cultivated land area divided by the per capita cultivated area of this village before land acquisition,

and then issue a document upon the approval of the municipal government to confirm the said quota for the village

group.

Specific list of APs to be urbanized according to the decision made in the villagers meeting (governmental document and villagers meeting minutes)

Group 9 held villager representative meetings to determine the list of persons to be transferred into non-

agricultural according to the quota as issued by the government. Three basic principles are to be generally followed

at the time of confirming the list of people entitled to be urbanized.

(i)Direct transferring: an AP will be transferred into non-agricultural if his land acquisitioned is no less than

the per capital level in the village group.;

(ii)In case that an AP’s acquisitioned land area fails to meet direct transferring requirements, the AP will

hold discussions with other villagers to make due adjustments through negotiation.

If villager A wants the quota for non-agricultural, but his acquisitioned land area fails to meet direct

transferring requirements, he needs to consult with villager B; he shall either buy villager B’s acquisitioned land in

cash to meet the “direct transferring” requirement, or conduct land replacement to reach an agreement; however,

Rongfeng River project has the aforesaid two features; it was found out by EMT’s survey that, the villagers, after

their own negotiation has been made, have neither provided compensation in cash nor replaced land because

everyone will be basically transferred into non-agricultural within one or two years.

(iii)Elders and children having the priority to be transferred into non-agricultural

Children aged below 16 may receive RMB35,000 of resettlement compensation directly when being transferred

into non-agricultural; and elders aged no less than 60 can enjoy pension immediately when being transferred into

non-agricultural; therefore, both elders and children can enjoy the benefits resulting from such transferring

immediately. The villagers aged below 60 will have to pay a big amount of pension insurance margin, and will not

Page 43: Resettlement Monitoring Report · 2018-07-13 · Resettlement Monitoring Report #5 Semiannual Report January 2018 People's Republic of China: ... 3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies

36

receive their pension until becoming 60 years old. In additions, EMT has been told that there is no any priority for

vulnerable group on non-agricultural issues.

Here is an example case. The Group 9 of Hailuo Community in the Rongchang subproject held a villager

representative meeting in Dec. 2015 (quota for transferring APs into non-agricultural is 27 persons). According to

the above mentioned principles, the list of persons to be transferred into non-agricultural was determined in the

collective villager meeting, and each attendee made his fingerprint to confirm his consent. The specific list of

persons and fingerprints see the figure below.

Figure3.5 Specific List of 27 Persons of Group 9 of Hailuo Community for Transferring into Non-agricultural

(3) Announcing the list of persons transferred into non-agricultural and registered in the governmental social

security registration system

After the formal list of persons transferred into non-agricultural has been submitted by the village group, it

shall be submitted to the social security bureau upon governmental approval; after necessary formalities have been

fulfilled, those persons can receive their pensions.

Page 44: Resettlement Monitoring Report · 2018-07-13 · Resettlement Monitoring Report #5 Semiannual Report January 2018 People's Republic of China: ... 3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies

37

(4) Resettlement compensation to be paid by the government to APs who were transferred into non-agricultural

(i)Amount of paid resettlement subsidy: pension insurance margin payable by people of various ages shall be

deducted from their personal resettlement subsidy, and the remaining resettlement subsidy shall be paid to the AP.

The resettlement subsidy for the AP is RMB 35,000 per person. The specific amount of pension insurance

payable by each urbanized person also varies based on his age group, as shown in the Fig.3.3 below. Take a 56-year-

old woman transferred into non-agricultural for example, she need to pay 19850 yuan from the resettlement subsidy

and she can receive the remaining 15,150 (RMB). She can get 500yuan pension each month.

Figure 3.6 Standards for Payment of Basic Pension Insurance Margin by APs who were transferred into Non-Agricultural

(ii)Time for the APs to Receive Related Compensation and Pension

After the list of persons to be urbanized is approved, the pension for those persons will be paid to their accounts

at specified time on a monthly basis; generally, it will take 9 to 12 months for them to start receiving social pension

after the said list has been approved. However, the social pension shall be calculated starting from the time when the

quota of urbanized AP has been approved by the government, and be paid accordingly.

3.1.3 Rongchang Vulnerable Groups Case

(1)Affected person Ao Zhiyou in Rongchang Rongfeng flood prevention and bank protection project

This affected person, 50 years old, in Fenggao Village of Rongchang County, is a villager in the second

community of Donghu. The reason to survey this villager is that there are two people in the family including his son

of 12 years old and himself. Ao originally owned 4 mu of dry land and 0.1 mu of dry land was acquired. Before land

acquisition, his annual income was 8,000 yuan, among which 4,000 yuan was agricultural incomes and 4,000 yuan

was from other short-term jobs.

In the first survey, it can be found that the land acquisition did not have a negative impact on Ao Zhiyou's life.

He earned some money by working for the logistics department of the land acquisition project, which helped his

annual income to reach 10,000 yuan after the land acquisition.

The second (this) survey found that the land acquisition and resettlement related to AO Zhiyou has completed.

However, he has suffered from lumbar disc protrusion and a perennial pain in his knees. Hence, he was no longer

able to do heavy works, causing a poverty-stricken family circumstance.

In the April of 2016, he received a compensation of more than 40,000 RMB from another national project (not

ADB project). His son has transferred from agricultural residence to the non-agricultural residence during this

national project and also should get a resettlement subsidy of 35,000 RMB according to the standards. However, his

son still has not obtained this compensation after putting forward the name list. He is renting his relatives’ houses.

Since he is neither doing farm nor working outside, he can just live on the land compensation and housing

compensation currently. After consulting him and the relevant responsible officers, it is clear that Ao has not been

included in any minimum living guarantee system or subsistence allowances, etc

According to previous survey, the poverty of AO Zhiyou’s family is caused by many factors: the loss of work

ability due to illness; the imperfection of the social security system including poverty assistance and subsistence

allowances. And his son’s compensations fee (35,000 RMB) for the transfer from agricultural to non-agricultural

should be issued as soon as possible. In the future projects, the relevant departments should consider transferring

him from agricultural to non-agricultural so that he could get basic social security subsidies every month when he

reaches retirement age.

EMT has reported to CQPMO on Ao Zhiyou’s difficult issue in last survey.

In this survey, as explained by the IA, Ao Zhiyou erected a greenhouse in the red line temporarily, but his land

is not involved in the land acquisition of this ADB project. His son has received resettlement subsidy fee and his

living condition has been improved comparing to the situation before. Ao Zhiyou’s main incomes are resettlement

compensation and part-time jobs. The main expenditure of the family is regular living domestics.

(2) Affected household Shi Xianyu: according to this survey towards the affected person, Shi Xinyu from

Group 9 of Hailuo Village lives a hard life and needs major support. Shi Xinyu of 85 years old, suffering from

glaucoma, has transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural when highway was built. She has an only Child Yang

Xiujun of 41 years old. Yang Xiujun is an ex-soldier who is unable to do heavy work due to his serious illness on

the waist. He works at part-time at Rongchang for now. Shi Xianyu’s daughter-in-law is 30 years old with worse

Page 46: Resettlement Monitoring Report · 2018-07-13 · Resettlement Monitoring Report #5 Semiannual Report January 2018 People's Republic of China: ... 3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies

39

vision and she basically has no work ability. Besides, Shi Xianyu has a granddaughter of 5 years old. All incomes of

the family rely on Yang Xiujun’s parttime work and Shi Xianyu’s pension from agricultural to non-agricultural.

According to the survey, the family’s annual income is 30,000yuan but with large living expenses. Shi Xianyu needs

to take medicine, not to mention her son and daughter-in-law. Besides, her granddaughter is in kindergarten.

Therefore, it’s suggested to list Shi Xianyu as the major support person and apply for poverty subsidy for her.

Figure 3.7 Household survey of affected person Shi Xianyu

3.2 Fuling Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project

The urbanization policy in Fuling is basically the same as that in Rongchang.

Contract A of Fuling has over 20 mu collective woodland, and per-capita area of cultivated land is different in

the affected group. There are two main forms to confirm indexes of people transferred from agricultural to the non-

agricultural: 1) there is one quota when land acquisition is larger than per-capita cultivated land. If there is one quota

for transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural, equivalently, there is one quota for it for 2 mu woodland. 2)

Internal coordination of villagers: if per- capita cultivated land in village Group is 0.8 mu and the land acquisitioned

of farmer A is 0.6 mu, Farmer A needs to discuss with the other villagers ( for example Farmer B) to purchase

0.2mu land to apply for one non-agricultural quota.. Since resettlement subsidy for per person in Fuling is

35,000yuan, according to the rule, Farmer A needs to pay 7,000yuan to Farmer B for 0.2 mu purchasing.

For Contract B of Fuling, indexes for transferring from agricultural residence to the non-agricultural residence

are under estimation. As different per-capita cultivated land in each production group, it will be divided according to

groups. The Land and Resources Bureau is identifying the per-capita cultivated land area of group one by one. The

specific time to approve the indexes has not been decided yet said by the officers. As known by the EMT, the list of

transferring from agricultural residence to the non-agricultural residence will be decided by the villager conference.

Page 47: Resettlement Monitoring Report · 2018-07-13 · Resettlement Monitoring Report #5 Semiannual Report January 2018 People's Republic of China: ... 3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies

40

If permission for transferring from agricultural to the non-agricultural residence takes longer time to be

approved, it will delay the villagers’ commencement time for receiving social insurance for transferring from

agricultural to non-agricultural.

The detailed numbers of urbanized APs is being processed. EMT will follow up in next report.

3.3 Wanzhou Water Supply Subprojects

No non-agricultural people are affected by resettlement.

3.4 Chengkou County Urban and Rural Road Reconstruction Project

3.4.1 Non-agricultural Progress

No plan for the affected people transferring from agricultural residence to the non-agricultural residence.

3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies

Tang Hongyou: The affected person, a villager of the fourth group in Yinghong village of Yanhe townships in

Chengkou County, there are four people in Tang’s family. He originally owned 4 mu of dry land, 10 mu of forest

land and 4 mu of other land and 1.3 mu of dry land, 1 mu of forest land and 3 mu of other land were requisitioned.

Before land acquisition, its annual income was 8,500 yuan, among which were 4,500 yuan of agricultural income

and 4,000 yuan of other income. The first survey showed that land acquisition didn’t have negative impacts on

Tang’s production and life, for there was no obvious decline but improvement in living standards. After land

acquisition, the annual income reached 10,000 yuan, higher than before and the main source of which are farming、

work away from hometown and government land compensation. The living standard is improved instead of

declining. Tang Hongyou is very satisfied with the resettlement as well as the compensation for land acquisition.

According to second survey, we found that the implementation of the project did not have a negative impact on

Tang Hongyou's production and life. Tang Hongyou obtained interest-free petty loan of 70,000 yuan for planting

and poultry feeding. The current economic situation has gradually improved; the annual income has reached 12,000

yuan. The main source of income in two ways, one is farming and poultry feeding, another is work out of home. We

noticed that his living standard was improved in the third survey. The main source of income is running motorcycle

taxi, land compensation and son's earnings. His family’s annual income has increased to 30,000 Yuan, higher than

his previous income. Tang's family spends about 25,000 yuan a year mainly in daily life and medical expense. It is

understood that Tang Hongyou and his family are more supportive of this project. The fourth survey showed that Tang Hongyou has received compensation for house demolition and makes

profits from driving motorcycle in daily life. However, Tang still wants to apply for the minimum living guarantee

Page 48: Resettlement Monitoring Report · 2018-07-13 · Resettlement Monitoring Report #5 Semiannual Report January 2018 People's Republic of China: ... 3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies

41

subsistence allowance since Tang’s mother is disabled, old and sick. His appeal is under discussion and coordination.

Except the compensation for house demolition, his annual income does not change much.

Zhao Bingkui: The affected person, a villager of the sixth group in Yinghong village of Yanhe townships in

Chengkou County, belongs to poor household of the village. There are four people in Zhao’s family. He originally

owned 9 mu of dry land, 20 mu of forest land and 3 mu of other land and 1.7mu of dry land, 2 mu of forest land and

1 mu of other land were requisitioned. Before land acquisition, its annual income was 4,000 yuan, the major source

of which were part-time jobs and children subsidies, almost no negative impact on his production and life according

to the first survey, while the annual income reached 8,000 yuan after land acquisition, enjoying a dramatically

increase, for Zhao Bingkui and his family took part in the training activities organized by the county project office,

such as poultry feeding and car washing. He tried to raise more home-feed chickens. As said that it not only had

little influence on the production and life, but also further improved the living standard owing to the improvement of

the skills after training. In the second survey, we found that the implementation of the project did not have a

negative impact on Zhao Bingkui's production and life. At present, his family found the opportunity to work outside

for some odd jobs, 1200yuan per month. By farming, chicken feeding and working out of home, the annual income

estimated will be reached 10000 yuan. Zhao's family spends about 5000 yuan a year mainly in daily life and medical

expense. In the third survey, the main source of income is farming and son's earnings. His annual income from

farming is about 10,000 Yuan. His son can earn about 40,000 yuan a year. The project did not have any negative

impact on his family's life, even improved it. Accordingly, Zhao Bingkui and his family are all supportive of this

project. The fourth survey showed that Zhao Bingkui’s mother is old and sick, and his wife is a deaf. And his legs

have injury due to traffic accident. Income of the family relays on his son’s working outside, agricultural products

and cultivation of his own. Main expenses of the family are for daily life and medicines. The family’s income does

not change much. The project did not have any negative impact on his family's life, even improved it because of

land compensation.

3.5 Wulong River Flood Control Project

All of the residents will be transferred from agricultural to the non-agricultural gradually because of the overall

urbanization in the project area. The situations of three agriculture villages involved in land acquisition situations

are different: (1)Wachangba village has completed land acquisition and completed arrangements of people transferred from

agricultural to the non-agricultural before the ADB project starting;

(2)Zhangjiaqi village has completed land acquisition before the ADB project starting as well, but, it does not

take the mode of “taking social insurance by transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural”. It takes

comprehensive cash compensation once for all, which is that the compensation standard is higher than the one set up

for “taking social insurance by transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural”;

Page 49: Resettlement Monitoring Report · 2018-07-13 · Resettlement Monitoring Report #5 Semiannual Report January 2018 People's Republic of China: ... 3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies

42

(3)Only Wujiaping land acquisition was conducted after ADB project starting. The approved quota of people

transferring from agricultural to the non-agricultural is sufficient for the original villagers affected and all could

apply for transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural. However, it becomes insufficient anymore at present due

to new populations because of marriage and newborns. The villagers have held several village conferences to

discuss the urbanized scheme, but did not reach an agreement so far. The Land Development Dept. of the IA has

urged the village to submit the names of the residences to be urbanized ASAP in order to pay their resettlement

subsidy fees soon. (4)Because of overall urbanization of the surrounding area, either land acquisition of ADB project and other

projects could not be separated, or people transferring from agricultural residence to non-agricultural residence.

Currently, land acquisition center is dividing and identifying affected people and population of people transferred

from agricultural to the non-agricultural, which will be expected to complete by the end of Feb. 2018, said by the

land acquisition officer.

(5)EMT has interviewed the villagers and village leaders, even the village committee director cannot recognize

which villagers are for ADB project. The name list of people to be transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural

is determined through villager meeting is a popular way in Wulong.

(6)There are 77 people in URP to be transferred from agricultural to the non-agricultural. It is predicted that the

land acquisition center will complete separation of people transferred from agricultural to the non-agricultural by the

end of Feb. 2018. It would be fine to have the latest data on the transferring in next report.

(7)According to the latest survey, there are two main forms for determining the number of farmers to be

urbanized in Wulong. One is direct turning: if more than 0.6 mu of land is acquisitioned, there will be one non-

agricultural quota. Another form is the discussion between farmers: such as A in the group where the average per-

capita cultivated land is 0.6 mu, if A is only acquisitioned 0.4 mu of land, A needs to negotiate with B, it is

necessary to purchase 0.2 mu of B to meet the lowest requirement for urbanization policy. They do not take the land

replacement way because there is less per-capita arable land in project area.

3.6 Shizhu County Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project

3.6.1 Non-agricultural Progress

According to the measures made in the resettlement plan, people who loss more lands will accept arrangement

of transferring from agricultural residence to the non-agricultural residence so as to solve some problems of living.

In updated RP, Shizhuzi project planned to arrange 199 people for transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural;

according to the latest monitoring by EMT, Shizhuzi project has arranged 166 people for transferring from

agricultural to non-agricultural. The detailed numbers are shown in below Table3-2. Table3-2 Status of transferring from agricultural to non-agricultural in Shizhuzi land acquisition project

3) Only one person transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural in Yuchi Town: Xu Yongfa from

Huangjin Village. 25 people in 5 households are affected by Shizhu road subproject. Xu Yongfa was chosen as

the one transferred from agricultural to the non-agricultural is because among all the affected people, his land

acquisition was the most. Considering most of his land acquisition was woodland and he is old and sick, the

committee chose him as the people transferred from agricultural to the non-agricultural.

3.6.2 Shizhu non-agricultural Case Study

By surveying Huangshui Town (only involving Dachuan group and Jinhua Village) and Yuelai Town (Yuelai

Village and Xincheng Village), Secretary Qin in Huangshui Town, Director Tan in Huangshui Committee, Director

Ran in Yuelai Town, Secretary Ma in Xincheng Village and some villagers, ways to decide people transferred from

agricultural to non-agricultural are similar in each village (group or association). The three ways to decide people

transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural are “direct transferring”, “flexible transferring” and “negotiation

transferring” by dividing the village to groups. The number of people transferred from agricultural to non-

agricultural is more in Xincheng Village so we choose Qinglong group of Xincheng Village to study the case.

Director Ma in Xincheng Village, other leaders of the village committee and some villages have attended to the

conference.

Figure 3.11 Interview in Qinglong group Xincheng Village and Dachuan group in Huangshui town

(1) Features of transferring to non-agricultural in Shizhu road project

Three features: (i) Per-capita cultivated land area in Shizhu Village is different from the one in other villages like

Rongchang, etc. The one in Rongchang is about 0.5-0.6 mu, while the one in Shizhu village is over 1mu. Besides,

Per-capita cultivated land area in different groups of Shizhu Village is also very different. For example, the one in

Qinglong group of Xincheng village is 2.4mu, while the one in Gucheng group is only 1.68 mu.

(ii) Villages are willing to transfer from agricultural to non- agricultural. Because of high altitude, poor land, low

land output value and low income in Shizhu village, villagers will have urban social insurance after they transferred

from agricultural to non- agricultural so their basic life will be guaranteed. (iii) Another special type of transferring from agricultural to non- agricultural is so called “flexible transferring”,

namely, when villager A’s land has been acquired, but his cultivated land area is less than 0.5mu, one quota for

transferring from agricultural to non- agricultural will be given to him according to Chongqing policy. Generally,

“flexible transferring” takes longer time since it takes time to calculate and verify evidences.

(2) Governmental decides indexes of people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural

The Land and Resources Bureau calculates per capita cultivated land area as X mu according to the rural

population in all groups and lands of all the groups. The agricultural population to be converted into urban status is

47

the sum of the acquired cultivated land area and 0.5 times the acquired non-cultivated land area divided by the per

capita cultivated area of this village before land acquisition.. Than the indexes could be confirmed after the superior

government has approved and issued document.

(3) Decide name list of people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural by the villager meetings.

Villager representative conference is held to confirm the name list of people transferred from agricultural to non-

agricultural according to the indexes issued by the government. Generally, there are four basic rules for deciding it:

(i) Direct transferring: one index for transferring to non-agricultural will be produced when AP’s land

acquisition ≥per capita cultivated land (mu);

(ii) Negotiation transferring: In case that AP’s acquisitioned land area fails to meet direct transferring

requirements, the villagers could negotiation voluntarily to purchase the shortfall land area;

For example, if villager A wants the quota of people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural, but his

land acquisition area does not reach the area required in the “direct transferring”, A needs to negotiate with B and

buy B’s land acquisition quota so as to reach the conditions of “direct transferring”. A and B could reach an

agreement by land replacement or cash compensation. Take another look at it, if per-capita cultivated land of farmer

A’s group is 2 mu, but only 1.5 mu of A has been acquired. Farmer A needs to negotiate with farmer B (also land

acquired) in case that he wants the non- agricultural index and buy 0.5 mu from farmer B. Since resettlement

compensation for transferring agricultural to non-agricultural in Shizhu village is 36,000yuan/person, 18,000yuan

for the one mu land, farmer A needs to pay 9000yuan to farmer B. In special case such as Qinglong group,

additional 6000yuan/mu should be paid to farmer B by farmer A in terms of negotiation as shown in Figure3.12.

These agreements are reached by APs voluntarily.

When deciding quota of people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural in Yuelai Town, they uses this

method and sign an agreement as follows:

1) Xincheng Village

(iii)Priority for the old people and children to transfer from agricultural to non- agricultural

It is related to the issue of resettlement compensation. Children under 16 years old could directly receive

36,000yuan resettlement fees after they have transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural; while the old people

over 60 years old could enjoy the endowment insurance as soon as they have transferred from agricultural to non-

agricultural. Besides, the resettlement fees for the old over 60 years old shall deduct the lesser personal payable

insurance fees. Therefore, the old people and the children could enjoy profits brought by the non-agricultural status.

(iv)Flexible transferring: According to EMT survey, the flexible transferring is used in Chongqing. An

AP can be transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural if his remaining land after land acquisition is less than

0.5mu and upon approval by the authority.

On Nov 30, 2017, Shizhu subproject has confirmed the name list of people transferred from agricultural to non-

agricultural as decided by the villager conferences. The villagers could check out in the Shizhu compensation affairs

center in case of any questions. The name list is indicated as the aforesaid. The name list of flexible transferring is

being calculated in Shizhu.

(4) Name list of the announced people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural and registration

system of governmental archived social insurance

The official name list of non- agricultural will be announced to the public after it has been approved by the

government when the groups have officially report to the government. The name list will be uploaded to the social

insurance system if there is no question about it. People on the name list could take the social insurance after all

relevant registration procedures are completed.

(5) The government issues resettlement compensation fees for people transferred from agricultural to non-

agricultural

1)Amount: the resettlement subsidy fees should deduct payable social insurance fees of people in different ages,

and the rest of the amount will be paid to the person. Resettlement compensation fee for one urbanized AP is 36,000yuan in Shizhu. According to different ages and

sex of APs, personal payable social insurance fee is different as well. As indicated in the following Figure3.20, take

the 56-year-old female transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural for example, the personal receivable

resettlement compensation fee =36,000-19,850=16,150yuan after she paid 19,850yuan for the personal payable

social insurance. She could get pension of 500 yuan/month as urbanized resident at present according to Chongqing

policy in 2008 and 2009 ),

Figure 3.20 Payment standards for new ones transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural to take the basic endowment insurance in Shizhu

2)Time of remitting

After the list of persons to be transferred into non-agricultural has been approved, the resettlement

compensation fees for urbanized APs will be remitted into their accounts at specified time on a monthly basis;

generally, it will take about 2 months for them to start receiving social insurance after the said list has been

submitted. However, the social insurance shall be calculated starting from the time when the quota for transferring

Page 59: Resettlement Monitoring Report · 2018-07-13 · Resettlement Monitoring Report #5 Semiannual Report January 2018 People's Republic of China: ... 3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies

52

into non-agricultural has been approved by the government, and be paid accordingly. The government will reissue

the social insurance of this period.

3.6.3 Vulnerable Group Case Studies(Tujia minority)

Peng Mingxiang: This affected person is from Dachuan group of Huangshui village, Huangshui Town in

Shizhu County. There are two registered persons in PENG Mingxiang’s household census registration, namely,

PENG Mingxiang (58 years old) and her second son RAN Junwei. RAN Junwei is 30 years old, unmarried and

working away from hometown for many years and has not given this elderly any living expenses. RAN Mengqun

(58 years old), PENG Mingxiang’s husband, used to be a worker of HUANGLIAN Company. Since the State-

owned enterprise reformed in 1995, he has laid off and been engaged in agriculture. He was transferred from the

agricultural residence to the non-agricultural residence, and he was separated from his family household census

registration. So the population in PENG Mingxiang’s family is actually 3, namely, PENG Mingxiang, her husband

and her second son. Her other children married have their own families. And their family financial circumstances are

not optimistic and do not give much assistance to this elderly either. Peng Mingxiang originally had 5 mu of dry land, 2 mu of forest land and 6 mu of paddy field. Her 0.8 mu of dry

land and 2 mu of paddy field were acquired. Before land acquisition, the annual income was 5,000 yuan, and the

major source was farming.

The first survey revealed that Peng Mingxiang bought a couple of piglets with the land acquisition fee.

Meanwhile, they raised 30 chickens and 20 ducks. The annual income reached 8,000 yuan after land acquisition,

higher than before, enjoying an obvious increase according to the survey. Basically, no big difference in the second

survey (this time) compared with the previous one. Her husband has been farming at home since 1995. According to

her saying, her husband could get the minimum monthly retirement pension 1,200 yuan when he reaches 60 years

old in 2018. And then their family financial circumstances will get a further improvement.

In this survey, Peng Mingxiang plants goldthread at present and her husband has get retirement pension from

2018. Only Peng in her family could transfer from agricultural to non- agricultural. According to the requirements

for people transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural, one quota will be given when the land acquisition is over

1.39mu. However, Peng Mingxiang does not have sufficient land acquisitioned. She obtained the non-agricultural

index after negotiating with other farmers. Peng Mingxiang’s leg was injured and in recovery currently. The annual

income of her family is over 17,000 yuan, which is obviously improved than before. Now, both Peng Mingxiang and

her husband is urbanized resident, their daily living can be guaranteed and improved greatly.

Wang Zhongying: This affected person is from Jintai group of Jinhua village, Huangshui Town in Shizhu

County. There are four persons in WANG Zhongying’s household, WANG Zhongying (54 years old), XU

Zhengwen (52 years old) and 2 grandsons. Their two sons were dead by disease. Farming is their only income. The

land acquisition did not have a negative impact on her family's life. Her forest land have been acquired and got

compensation, so they can still grow crops. Before the land acquisition, the main income is farming and part-time

Page 60: Resettlement Monitoring Report · 2018-07-13 · Resettlement Monitoring Report #5 Semiannual Report January 2018 People's Republic of China: ... 3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies

53

working outside. Their annual income is about 10,000 yuan. Without part time working outside, the annual income

is only 4000 yaun. Now land compensation is their new source of income. We found out that the affected household WANG’s family is really poor, and the situation is quite special. It is

suggested that the local government and the village community should include them in the scope of the poverty

assistance and provide poverty allowance. WANG took an active part in skill training including pepper planting and

water shield planting held by Shizhu Women Federation. In the latest survey, Wang’s main incomes are from crops and poverty subsidy (on education and medicine). In

addition, Wang Zhongying also got all of the land compensation. Her family’s life has been improved. The living

expenses are mainly basic living expenses and education cost on two grandsons. As we knew, all members in her

family are quite supportive to this ADB project since WANG can sell her crops and products on the side of the road

after the road completed.

Ma Peihong: Ma Peihong of 47 years old is a villager in Xincheng Village of Yuelai Town in Shizhu. There

are five people in Ma’s family. Except for the daughter-in-law, Ma has a son, a daughter and a grandson. Ma’s son

married, but devoiced now and works part-time job at the town, not to mention that his daughter is still on high

school. Ma Peihong is the only one could apply for transferring from agricultural to non- agricultural. Ma`s arm is

injured seriously in a traffic accident and cannot take heavy work. His wife is engaged in farming at home. In this

ADB project, 0.8 mu of land has been acquired and 2400yuan land compensation has been received

(15000*0.8*0.2=2400). Considering his special case, the government has provided him with 10,000yuan poverty

subsidy for each member of this family to build a new house. What’s more, the government provides a small loan to

Ma and trains him with breeding pig. He deliveries cargo by driving car to increase income so his family living

standard is largely increased. Currently, by cultivating agricultural products and working outside, the annual income

of Ma Peihong is over 30,000yuan. The main expenses are daily living expenses and traffic expenses. As we knew,

his family is very supportive to the ADB project which is really beneficial to the people.

3.7 Evaluation and Conclusion

(1)On the second half year of 2017, transferring from agricultural to non- agricultural takes a bigger step.

Resettlement compensation for people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural has been completed in

Rongchang. Name list of urbanized APs in Shizhu has been confirmed and the resettlement compensation fees will

be issued before the Spring Festival 2018. Wulong is working on the name list of it, while Fuling is calculating on

the quota of urbanized APs.

(2)People transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural are decided on the villager conference. The village

conference has right to formulate its own rules, discuss on the conference, let everyone give their opinions and keep

this issue fair. Therefore, APs has no disagreement on the compensation policy and ways for people transferred from

agricultural to non- agricultural.

(3)Because per-capita cultivated land is different, standards for people transferred from agricultural to non-

agricultural are very different even in different groups of the same village. In some degree, villagers have some

disagreements, but they can accept the result when government officers explained the policies to them.

(4) During the monitoring, there is no priority policy targeted at the vulnerable people in every area of the

Counties/Districts. The villager conference usually did not give priority to the vulnerable groups, but the

government's anti-poverty policy targeted vulnerable groups.

(5)In rural areas, APs transferred from agricultural to Non-agricultural could have more benefits, mainly in the

following aspects:

1)Non-agricultural households can enjoy the social security such as minimum living allowance,

unemployment insurance, medical insurance, old-age insurance and other social benefits shared by urban residents

as well as other preferential policies related to urban household registration. Especially, the minimum living

allowance and medical insurance of urban residents are higher than rural residents. For example, the minimum

living allowance of urban social security is about 500 yuan /month which is higher than that in rural social security

of 350yuan/month.

Page 62: Resettlement Monitoring Report · 2018-07-13 · Resettlement Monitoring Report #5 Semiannual Report January 2018 People's Republic of China: ... 3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies

55

2)Non-agricultural households have priorities on being employed , house purchasing in city and applying for

low-rent housing.

3)For children's education, non-agricultural household ownership has more options to better school because

the education quality of urban school is generally better than rural school. Non-agricultural children are more likely

to enter better schools.

4) Non-agricultural residents can enjoy urban public services and good medical service.

3.8 Recommendations

Major problems:

1. Compensation for land acquisition and house demolition are paid by IAs to the land acquisition office or village

committee in time, however, the land compensation fees for individual AP are delayed to pay because the land area

identification progress goes very slowly.

2. The government take longer time to estimate and approve indexes for APs transferred from agricultural to non-

agricultural, which delays the time for APs to take social insurance.

3. Many APs are working outside, which makes the village conference can`t be held timely and delays time to

submit the name list.

It’s suggested that the government should put a deadline on each time nodes of land acquisition and compensation.

For example, the land compensation fees shall be issued within 90 days after land acquisition has been completed; or

procedures for people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural shall be completed within 100 days after land

acquisition has been approved. The village meeting should be held and make decision within 40 days after the

government approved the quota of non-agricultural residents, etc.

4. Use of Compensation Payments and Subsidies

Collective lands are acquired in Rongchang, Wulong, Shizhu, Fuling and Chengkou. According to Chongqing

policies, 20% of compensation fees for collective land acquisition and 100% of collective young crops will be paid

to the village committee. The villager meetings will discuss how to use this compensation or to distribute it to the

villagers.

4.1 Rongchang RongFeng River Flood Control Comprehensive Renovation

Huangjinpo village and Hailuo community at Changzhou Sub-district, and Donghu community at Fenggao

Sub-district are affected by Rongchang RongFeng River flood control project. Each village has their allocation plan

of compensation fees of collective land. The rules and plans are discussed and formulated on the villager conference,

showing a set of fair allocation rules and the wisdom of groups. Villager representatives agree the decision made on

the conference by pressing fingerprint on the agreement. The following specific cases show the way of each

community to confirm the allocation plan of compensation fees:

4.1.1 Allocation Plan of Compensation Fees of Group11 at Huangjinpo Community of Changzhou Sub-district

The agreement reached by the villager meeting is shown below as an example:

1)Compensation fees for young crops: 7,000yuan/mu for the APs;

2)Land rental and enterprise income are allocated to each villager equally;

3)People from other places (settle down here): the one could get the compensation if his/her household is

registered in rural for three years; their children could get the compensation if their household are register in rural

for one year; children going to school in other places have right to get the compensation as well;

4)Son-in-law who is living together with the family: the son-in-law cannot get the compensation if his wife has a

brother; but the son-in-low can get the compensation if his wife has a brother;

5)Married daughter can get the compensation, but her children (or grandson/granddaughter) cannot get the

compensation;

6)Whoever died after 1992 could get the compensation.

Implementation rules for people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural: the aged villagers shall

transfer first. There is no transition fee for AP. The fees for social insurance will be paid automatically. Transferring

from agricultural to non- agricultural shall be voluntary and decided on the villager conference, and it shall be

implemented in winter 2015.

Figure 4.3 Allocation plans of compensation fees of Donghu Community at Fenggao Sub-district

4.2 Fuling Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project

Over 20mu collective woodlands in Yuelai village and Xinjing village of Jiaoshi town were acquired. The

compensation fees for it were not paid to the villagers because the proposed allocation plan was not agreed on the

villager meeting. EMT would keep following up the case in the next phase.

Compensation of contracted land has been paid to the affected farmers directly in terms of the compensation

standards.

4.3 Wanzhou Water Supply Subprojects

No collective land compensation in Wanzhou

4.4 Chengkou County Urban and Rural Road Reconstruction Project

No collective land compensation in Chengkou. According to the survey, the planned subsidy for land quality improvement has been cancelled in Chengkou and there is no new lands provided as well.

4.5 Wulong River Flood Control Project

All of land acquisition compensation of Wulong subproject in Zhangjiaqi has been paid to the villagers. Only a part of the compensation was paid in Wujiaping and some was not paid. Since many villagers moved out, EMT could not get original record of villager conference in regard to issuing plan of collective land compensation fees in this survey, could only collect the relevant information through interviewing the villagers and villager leaders. Similar as the case of Rongchang as surveyed, each group decided the issuing plans and rules of compensation fees

independently. EMI will keep following up the outstanding issue of collective land compensation fees in

Wulong in the next phase.

4.6 Shizhu County Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project

No public land acquisition is involved in Shizhu project. 20% of land compensation fee has been paid to the

affected villagers directly by town LA office.

4.7 Evaluation and Conclusion

(1)Compensation allocation mode of collective land in Rongchang basically represents the entire allocation

modes in Chongqing. Huangjinpo village and Hailuo community at Changzhou Sub-district, as well as Hailuo

community at Fenggao Sub-district had held villager representative conferences; and the collective land acquisition

compensation allocation schemes were confirmed on the conference. They made their own rules, discussed together,

gave personal opinions and kept it fair, etc. Consequently, Rongchang APs did not have disagreement on the

compensation policies and mode for people transferred from agricultural to non- agricultural.

(2)The affected person in Fuling did not have a clear vision towards boundary of collective land acquisitioned, so

the compensation allocation scheme was not agreed by all representatives at the villager representative conferences.

Consequently, collective land acquisition compensation fees for Section B of Fuling have not been paid to villagers

so far.

(3)In Chengkou, the land acquisition is keeping pace with the construction progress. 100% of land compensation

will be gradually paid to the affected farmers by town LA office. 40% of land compensation has not yet been paid

to the affected farmers so far.

(4) No public land is acquisitioned in the Shizhu. 20% of Individual land compensation is paid to the affected

farmers by the town government directly.

4.8 Recommendations

1)Fuling subproject: it’s suggested that the land acquisition and house demolition office shall assist the

farmers to confirm their collective land boundary, and the village committee shall give a more reasonable

compensation allocation scheme and hold a villager meeting again so as to pay the fees to villagers ASAP.

2) The payment mode of collective land compensation in Wulong is similar as that in Fuling, the only

difference is that part of compensation in Wulong has been distributed to villagers. It is not very easy to hold a

villager meeting because most of villagers have move to other places. It is proposed that Wulong Land Office assists

the village officers to settle down the dispute on some collective forestland and come up with a reasonable

distribution plan as soon as possible.

63

3) It is a better way that paying to affected farmers directly by the town LA office. It has been proved if the

village leader pays more effort on land disputes between farmers will greatly improve the resettlement progress.

The EMT is impressive with the works of village leaders in Shizhu. We suggest that the village leaders in

Chengkou should pay more attention and give guidance on resettlement and land compensation of affected

villagers.

5. Skills Training, Job Creation and Other Income Restoration Measures

The possible impacts of the land acquisition on the local population:

(1) Permanent land acquisition may result in the reduction of productions goods, which can thus reduce

income;

(2) Housing demolition can cause many families to lose their residence, but self-building or purchasing new

houses may cause a serious burden, resulting in decreased quality of life;

(3) Temporary occupation of land causes failure to cultivate crops and thus brings much loss;

(4) During the construction, the running vehicles, construction noise and damage to infrastructure, etc. can

bother residents' original life

5.1 Rongchang RongFeng River Flood Control Comprehensive Renovation

1)Land acquisition in Rongchang is less and Rongchang’s urbanization is higher. Besides, the young people

prefer working outside. Consequently, ADB project has little influence on the affected person. Meanwhile,

Rongchang government takes an active part in organizing training, providing house repair subsidy, industry

assistance, small loan, local labor employment during construction and other recovery measures to guarantee living.

2)Rongchang has held four technical trainings in 2017, led by the Social Security Bureau and local

professional school. People could participate in the training voluntarily. Cooking, nursing training, car repairing and

other skill trainings were held, attracting 178 people, out of which, 130 were female, which takes 73%. The training

fees were paid to the training school by the government when the trainees are finished their courses.

3)There is no specified trainings for the affected people particularly, so it is difficult to collect training data of

the APs.

4)The construction unit hires local labors to participate in construction of the project to increase their incomes.

5.2 Fuling Urban and Rural Road Network Reconstruction Project

1)The project has little impact on the life of local people because the outside work is the main income rather

than crops cultivation . It is known that the local people are very supportive to Fuling road project. In order to

5.7 Evaluation and Conclusion

Each project area has carried out corresponding measures to meet the poverty alleviation activities according to

its own situation and characteristics. The quality of life of the residents has been improved in all aspects. Not just the

Page 74: Resettlement Monitoring Report · 2018-07-13 · Resettlement Monitoring Report #5 Semiannual Report January 2018 People's Republic of China: ... 3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies

67

financial help be provided, some life skills shall be imparted more from the long-term point of view to maintain the

long-term life and sustainable development of the residents.

In all district s/counties involved in ADB projects, the construction units said that most of unskilled labors

during construction are local residents and the wages were set by all districts /counties and settled on a monthly

basis. Because women are weak in physical strength and must take care of the old and children, women are provided

with the jobs such as cleaning, greening and logistics. Wages will not be different because of gender differences. For

the employment of the local labor force in each project, see (Table 5-1).

Existing problems: for some training, the villagers want to add practical opportunities to practice. Taking

welding as the example, after short-term training, it cannot actually used for work. If some opportunities to work in

the factory for 2 months can be introduced, the trainer can be easy to apply for the job after the internship. Table5-1 Actual employment of local labors in each project (as of July 2017 to Jan 2018)

5.8 Recommendations

In the future, we can also start from the following aspects to reduce the negative impact:

(1)To give villagers more opportunities for sustainable development by combining the national targeted poverty

alleviation policies and various policies of rural revitalization, such as fixed purchase, farming with stock,

development of special breeding with petty loan.

(2)To hire local affected people as far as possible in late project management and maintenance work to increase

their income as much as possible;

Page 75: Resettlement Monitoring Report · 2018-07-13 · Resettlement Monitoring Report #5 Semiannual Report January 2018 People's Republic of China: ... 3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies

68

(3)To invite the affected people to participate in skills training held in different districts and counties as much as

possible, especially the long-term internship opportunities and provide them with employment opportunities at the

same time;

(4)To reduce the living expenses of local residents by improving infrastructure, including public transport, water

safety, electricity, rural e-commerce, communication, medical and health, culture and education to reduce the living

cost of the affected people.

6. Public Participation, Complaint Handling

6.1 Public Participation

(1)Announcement of Project Related Information

In the second half year of 2017,Contract B of Chengkou subproject and Contract B of Fuling subproject have

been started construction. The IA and contractor as well as the villager committee hold a villager assembly to inform

the villagers of such issues as land acquisition, construction, traffic safety, environmental protection, local labor

employment and contacting person during the construction period and set up corresponding signs and warnings on

the construction site.

(2)Field Investigation and Questionnaire Investigation

The EMT has made surveys to the counties and villages in the project area. The survey is mainly concentrated

into the affected villager groups and enterprises. The contents of this survey included the situation of the affected

villages, the social economic situation of affected group, the real situation of current road, flood prevention and

control, the understanding of the project by the affected people, the local road traffic situation, water price and flood

situation and the influence of the project to the residents as well as their opinions and recommendations to the

project.

(3)Focus Group Discussion

As of Jan 2018, according to incomplete statistics, the total number of public participation in projects already

under construction has reached 4365 persons, of which 2361 were female, accounting for 54% of the total

participants. Focus on the project area residents on the project expectations, needs and suggestions.

The accumulative total number of public participation totaled 11,575, of which 5933 were women, accounting

for 51% of the total number of participants.

(4)Stakeholders Meetings

Stakeholder symposium carried out in the project area including direct or indirect project influencers (such as

men, women, minority people and poor people), executing agencies, implementing agencies, project offices, poverty

Page 76: Resettlement Monitoring Report · 2018-07-13 · Resettlement Monitoring Report #5 Semiannual Report January 2018 People's Republic of China: ... 3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies

69

alleviation agencies, training institutions. A total of 10 meetings were conducted by the relevant government sectors.

In figure 6.1-6.8, Minister Hu, Secretary Zhang and Director Li of Rongchang Changzhou inhabitant resettlement,

Minister Guo of Migration Department of Shizhu Construction Bureau, Secretary Qin and director Tan of

Huangshui town, Director Ran and Secretary Ma of Yuelai Town, Engineering Pang of Fuling land acquisition and

house demolition office, Director Li Chunsheng of Wanzhou, director Ran of Chengkou land acquisition and house

demolition office, and contractor managers of Shizhu project.

At the same time, special attention is paid to the role of women, to the needs of them and their families, so as to

give full play to the role of women in the implementation of inhabitant resettlement. The EMT found in the area

affected by the project that as most men worked in cities, the heavy burden of agricultural production fell on women.

Therefore, in the area affected, women have played a very important role in farming and other non-agricultural

production. They not only actively participated in all stages of land acquisition and resettlement, but also played an

important role in public consultation, trainings, communication and public activities.

agricultural resident. But Zengxiangmu has only 0.337mu

acquisitioned land which does not meet the requirement of the

urbanization policy of 1.81mu. Zeng has submitted a complaint

letter to the Grievances Office and is processing even LAR

officers have explained the policy to him several times. The LAR

officer said that Zeng`s complaint is not reasonable.

Chengkou

Aug 2017 Tang Hongyou complained on why he has

not received the land compensation.

Negotiated and settled down in September 2017. The land

compensation fees has been settled down in Yanhe town, once the

individual AH`s acquisitioned area is identified clearly, the land

compensation will be paid to the APs.

Jan 2018

Zhou Jiafu and other villagers complained

that the land compensation was not in

place.

The town LAR officer said that the land compensation will be

paid to the APs before Chinese Spring Festival.

Fuling Sept 2017

The villagers from Yuelai community in

Jiaoshi town complained that the

compensation for temporary land

acquisition can`t be paid in time.

The IA officer explained that temporary land compensation

payment would be settled down when the more land acquisition in

later period was almost completed, and it does not take long time.

The villagers accept the solution.

6.4 Evaluation and Conclusion

1) Every district and county will organize some public activities to make the people more aware of the subprojects

of the ADB. And according to EMT survey, it is known that the local people generally support the construction of

the project and expects the project can be completed soon because the villagers could get significant benefit from the

projects.

2) Currently, Shizhu, Chengkou and Fuling have different complaints. Among them, the complaints in Shizhu,

Chengkou and Fuling have been responded. The complaint of Zhou Jiafu from Chengkou needs to be resolved,

which is still in the processing.

6.5 Recommendations

1)Compensation for land acquisition and demolition is the most important issue for the affected people. It is also

very normal to have different opinions/ disputes in the processing. Public consultation gives everyone an

opportunity to express different opinions, which can not only effectively safeguard the interests of the affected

people, but also allow them to understand and abide by the state policies.

2)It will have a negative impact on the daily life of the surrounding ordinary people more or less when the

contractor is carrying out the construction. In case of work hindrance, it is expected that the contractor should solve

the problem rationally, hold more meeting to inform villagers the situation and negotiate the solution jointly, and

avoid conflicts on fundamental interests of local people.

7. Sample HH in Survey

The EMT has conducted sampling survey on affected households of LAR, and the content includes

demographics, area of land acquisition, family annual income, annual expenditure, concerns of the APs and so on.

7.1 Scope of the Survey

The site survey in this term mainly focuses on the 6 counties (Chengkou, Shizhu, Wanzhou, Rongcheng, Fuling

and Wulong),85 HHs and 319 persons in total, including 15 HHs and 61 persons in Shizhu, 18HHs and 67

persons in Rongchang, 12HHs and 50 persons in Wulong, 12HHs and 50 persons in Chengkou, 1HH and 2 persons

in Wanzhou, 22HHs and 71 persons in Fuling. Among them, 73 HHs were land acquired, 4 HHs were acquired land

and removed, accounted for 85.88% of all households. The interview scope is shown in table 7-1 Table 7-1 Sampling of SAP in Second Phase of 2017

accounting for 45.77%.

(2)Aging structure:People in 0-6 are 20, accounting for 6.27%, 40 in 7-15, accounting for 12.54%, 189

in16-60, accounting for 59.25%, and 70 above 60, accounting for 21.94%.

(3)There are 282 labors involved in sample survey(including the labor who has reached the statutory

retirement age and is still engaged in labors, accounting for 88.4% of the total amount.137 labors are in the local

workspace, accounting for 48.58% of the total amount; 145 labors are migrant workers, accounting for 51.42% of

the total amount; 37 people without working ability, including 33 students at school and 4 elderly.

7.3 Annual Household Income

The annual income of 106 households in 2016 amounted to 5,285,160 yuan, with annual income of 49,860 yuan

and agricultural income of 3070 yuan per household, accounting for 6.16% of the total annual income of the family;

Page 85: Resettlement Monitoring Report · 2018-07-13 · Resettlement Monitoring Report #5 Semiannual Report January 2018 People's Republic of China: ... 3.4.2 Vulnerable Group Case Studies

78

non-agricultural income at the average household is 46,790 yuan, accounting for 93.84%, including 44,378 yuan per

capita of migrant workers, 89% of the total income; the wage in enterprise or institution reaches 312 yuan per capita,

accounting for 0.6% of total revenue; the monitoring team has found that in the field research, the agricultural

income in rural households is mainly from old people's (over 50 years old) production and the young labors mainly

do odd jobs, work in the vicinity of township enterprises or act as migrant workers, so most of their income is almost

not attached to the land. Therefore, the land acquisition in this project has little influence on their income.

According to the survey of 85 households, the total annual income in 2017 amounted to 4,539,280yuan, with

53,403yuan on average and the agricultural earning per household is 3,510yuan, accounting for 6.57% of total

annual family income. The average annual non-agricultural income per family is 49,893yuan, accounting for

93.43% of the total amount. The income of migrant workers per capita is 42,380yuan, accounting for 79.36% of the

total income. The wage in enterprise or institution reaches 434yuan per capita, accounting for 0.8% of total revenue

In the field survey, the monitoring group finds that the agricultural income in rural families is mainly achieved by

the elderly over 50 years old, while the young adults are mostly on part-time jobs, working in township enterprises

nearby and going out to work; thus the most of their income doesn’t depend on the farmland, and it almost won’t be

influenced by the land acquisition involved in this project.

Figure 7.2 Composition of annual household income in 2017

Compared to figure 7.1 and figure 7.2, agricultural income and enterprise wages have increased slightly in 2017. The income from migrant workers sector has decreased sharply while other wage income has increased more. This is mainly due to the fact that more farmers are willing to work locally and do some part-time job around home.

7.4 Annual Household Expenditure

The total annual expenditure of 106 households surveyed in 2016 is per capta 13,060 yuan, of which: food

expenditure is 5304 yuan / person, accounting for 40.61 % of the total per capita annual expenditure; per capita

expenditure of utilities and fuel costs is 418 yuan / person, accounting for 3.2% of per capita annual expenditure; the

communications expenditure per capita is 302 yuan / person, accounting for 2.31%; education expenditure per capita

is 643 yuan / person, accounting for 4.92%; medical expenditure is 770 yuan, accounting for about 5.9%; gifts

expenditure is 3018 yuan / person, accounting for about 22.11%.

According to statistics, the per-capita annual expenditure of 85 households surveyed in 2017 is 21,940yuan, of

which: food expenditure is 9,135yuan/person, accounting for 41.46% of the per capita annual expenditure; per capita

expenditure of utilities and fuel costs is 435yuan, accounting for 1.98% of per capita annual expenditure; the per

capita expenditure of clothes, shoes and hats, cosmetics and shopping and other entertainment consumption is

Figure 7.3 Composition of annual household expenditure in 2016

Figure 7.4 Composition of annual household expenditure in 2017

Comparing figure 7.3 and figure 7.4, it can be found that there is a slight increase in food expenditure and the

increase in medical care is the largest. It shows that with the development of social economy, people pay more

attention to physical health. In other sectors including shopping, transportation education and gifts, the expenditure

has declined, but the rate of declining is modest.

7.5 Ethnic Distribution

The southeast of Chongqing is a concentrated area for ethnic minority, an ethnic minority area involved in

ADB Project is Shizhu Tujia Autonomous County. And all of 79 people who are ethnicity in this period of sampling

survey are in Zhishu County.

7.6 Education Background

According to the educational condition survey of 319 people in 85 households :11 people are preschool

children, accounting for 3.45% of the total amount; 4 people are illiteracy, accounting for 1.25% of the total amount;

94 people just have primary school education experience, accounting for 29.47% of the total amount; the number of

In Shizhu County--An ethnic minority area involved in ADB financed Chongqing Urban-Rural Infrastructure

Development Demonstration II project, the ethnicity had fused into the Han nationality since more than 2000 years

ago. In habitat of Tujia minority that has been surveyed, the ethnicity family in the sampling survey did not have

obvious ethnic minority characteristics. Part of the ethnicity residents even did not know the reason why they were

classified as ethnic minority groups. Even for them it was hard to identify the difference with the Han nationality.

They only knew that their household registration was minority. During the conversation, one old Tujia resident said

that their Tujia custom remained but not prevailing nowadays.

8. Plans for the Next Monitoring Period

8.1 Changes of Project Scopes and LAR Impacts

Up to the end of Jan 2018, some adjustments have been made on the contents of the project and the scopes of

the LAR impacts compared with the original RP. The number of APs in each subproject varies inordinately. A

detailed assessment of the overall LAR impacts needs to be monitored continuously because the physical quantity

surveys have not been completed so far.

1) About 20 mu temporary land needs to be acquisitioned because of construction material storage in Fuling contract

B. The specific area is expected to confirm at the beginning of Feb 2018. In addition, there are several sections refer

to alignment adjustments including Bridge No.2 , Bridge No.3, Bridge No.4, and Bridge No.5. These changing will

impact on LAR.

2) The tunnel entrance of Chengkou contract B has a design variation on alignment extension from the original

1750m to 1875m, increased 125m. There is one villager`s house within 50 m of blasting scope which needs to

relocation in Contract A. Furthermore, newly added 5 houses need to demolish due to the landslide by excavation,

the areas of newly added 6 houses are being measured. In addition, 40% of land compensation for individual AH has

not been paid to the villages. EMT will follow up the impacts in next report.

3) Due to subgrade landslide by excavation, about total 31mu permanent lands need to be acquisitioned in Shizhu

contract A and Contract B. EMT will continue to track impacts on the newly added areas, affected HHs and APs

and compensation related in next report.

8.2 Progress of Project Resettlement Implementation

1) Both land acquisition and non-agricultural resettlement compensation in Rongchang project have been completed

2) Wulong Subproject has completed the land acquisition, demolition of enterprises and house demolition work,

remaining part of non-agricultural work is undergoing.

3) Chengkou Subproject has completed the land acquisition work of 358.18mu, 2 houses demolishment and

relocation of 75 graves. There are 6 new houses to be demolished.

4) Shizhu Subproject has basically completed the land acquisition and house demolition work. Compensation for

Non-agricultural residents will be completed before Chinese New Year. However, due to landslides in Contract A

and B, more permanent land acquisition without house demolishment (3km longth in total, about 31mu in total) is

needed and verification on land areas is processing.

5) Fuling contract A has completed the demolition of houses and land acquisition work, Contract B does not involve

in the demolition of houses, basicly complete the land acquisition work, but the demolishment of three enterprises is

still in negotiation. In addition, non-agricultural quota is calculating. EMT will pay special attention on non-

agricultural progress in next report.

83

6) Wanzhou IA has solved the relocations of Liu Guangcai house and two agricutural enterprises. No further LAR

work is remained.

8.3 Recommendations

8.3.1 Urging all IAs, LAR Officer and Village Leaders to Speed up Compensation to Individual AH

Due to dispute on land areas, compensation is delay to pay to individual AP in Fuling and Chengkou. It is

suggested that the LAR officers and villager leaders should coordinate with the AP to solve the problem jointly

within a specified period. Otherwise, there are more complaints on the efficiency of resettlement and compensation.

8.3.2 More Efforts on the Progress of Transferring from Agriculture and Non-agriculture to Ensure the

Interest of Affected People.

It is suggested that the officers should manage to shorten the time from publication of the urbanized resident

list to obtain urbanized resident social insurance to ensure the interest of the affected people.

8.3.3 Paying More Attention on Vulnerable Groups and Increasing Support for Them

Pay more attention to the concerns of vulnerable groups and poor people. As we know via surveys, there is no

any priority on land compensation and resettlement compensation for vulnerable groups. The policy of LAR is full

equality for all. However, there are many poverty alleviation policies and measures towards poverty village family,

such as medical expense deduction, house repairing subsidy, minimum living subsidy, education allowance, petty

loan, order planting, appointed poverty alleviation by enterprise, free training and etc. EMT appeals the IAs and

village leader could provide these preferential policies to the affected vulnerable groups, and increase trainings for

affected women and vulnerable group, communicate with construction units to employ more affected vulnerable

groups in the project area.

At the same time, EMT will continue to monitor the living conditions of affected vulnerable people and

whether their living standards have been improved.
