1.2 Measures for negative impact mitigation • Objective of the project is to mitigate the negative impacts from land acquisition and resettlement, so efforts have been made during project proposal and preliminary design •..preparation of the subproject. The structures of the subproject acquires land area and assets are irrigation canal dredging in combination with road improvement, and upgrading Nang Ren dyke which have been paid much attention to minimize negative impacts: "•

The construction of bridge on secondary canal: For constructing roads to the both end of bridges, the basic design proposed to use the most parts as possible of existing roads. • The land, which are used to construct abutments, are a part of canal embankment, that • are public land in protection corridor for canal system under the control of local authorities. So the construction of abutments will not impact to household's lands. The • subproject also should inform people early about construction so that they do not • cultivate on affected land. Upgrading dike along canal route: although the road system .. along canal and dike route is available but it should be upgraded to meet rural road .. standard (standard of rural road category IV, road surface width 3.5 m, road foundation width 5 - 6 m, the road surface can be asphalted or concretized). This work acquires .. permanence residential, garden, agricultural land area and other lands and affected to • some assets of the local community. However, preliminary basic design preparation was made with careful attention so that land acquisition areas will be minimum and are " located in right of way or less productive area in order to reduce adverse impact on • production and daily life activities of local residents. .. The construction of sluices in the subproject area will be based on the current situation .. of old sluices, pave to prevent soil erosion at two sides of sluice. The construction of the sluice will temporary affect to land area of households in the subproject area, of which • crops, tree and structures will be affected but very small area and mostly are fruit trees .. area and auxiliary structures.

-1.3 Subproject impacts

-. The EOL team, which includes Consultants for establishing Resettlement Action Plan (members of NIAPP) coordinated with workgroups of local authorities of 4 affected communes/town (the member of each commune workgroup include: 1 Commune Deputy Chairman, 1 land management officer, 1 judiciary officer, 1 agricultural management officer, all village leaders of affected villages) have carried out inventory of land and assets on the land would be acquired based on the temporary landmarks and basic design ofthe subproject.

The Estimate of Loss (EOL) of assets was conducted in November 2011 all communes of the subproject area to collect data on the number of project affected people (PAPs) and the types and amounts of land, structures and other assets that are affected by land acquisition. The survey was carried out for 100% of PAPs. The EOL is grounded on the preliminary design and temporary demarcation for subproject. The data collected during the EOL constitutes the

...,1 formal basis for determining PAP entitlements, levels of compensation, and estimate the overall subproject impact level.

Since detailed engineering design and demarcation marking were not completed at the time of preliminary social assessment, accurate impact assessment (household level) could not be done. Therefore, the impact presented in this RAP is an estimation based on basic engineering design. Detailed impact (household level), including impact for ethnic minorities, will be assessed and updated properly and sufficiently in RAP when SA is done during Detailed Measurement Survey (when the project is implemented and exact scope of impact- become clearly known). It is also noted that Replacement Cost Survey (RCS) will be done for all subprojects to ensure compensation/assistance to affected households are done at replacement costs as per RPF.

Vulnerable group including ethnic minorities were interviewed and consulted during census survey and preliminary social assessment. Most of these people are affected by land acquisition (agricultural land and garden land).

Since detailed engineering design and demarcation marking were not completed at the time of preliminary social assessment, accurate impact assessment (household level) could not be

..... done. Therefore, the impact presented in this RAP is an estimation based on based on basic engineering design. Detailed impact (household level), including impact for ethnic minorities, will be assessed and updated properly and sufficiently in RAP when SA is done during Detailed Measurement Survey (when the project is implemented and exact scope of impact become clearly known). It is also noted that Replacement Cost Survey (RCS) will be done for all subprojects to ensure compensation/assistance to affected households are done at replacement costs as per RPF. The IT will work closely with provincial PMUs and their consultants to support them in doing RCS and updating/preparing RAPs properly. -All affected vulnerable households will be further consulted during DMS and SA exercise when the impact is clear to them. A sample of socioeconomic data collection template (provided in RPF and RAP's annex) will be used during household consultation. Information collected will be adequately analyzed and presented in updated RAPs by agencies Updating/preparing RAPs with the support from the IT. Analysis needs to indicate clearly a) the extent to which these vulnerable households would be affected (land, crops, structures, -business ... ) and b) mitigation measures proposed to address these impacts (as per RPF, EMPF, and local regulations).

Total number of vulnerable household is 175 households, of which Ethnic minority households are 124 households; Poor households under MOLISA classification are 66 households, of which 15 households are ethnic minority households (Khmer group, these - households are already counted under ethnic minority).

Plan of compensation utilization: During the survey, question on plan of using

compensation to affected households has been asked. Below table indicate that the plan of

using money from compensation is focusing on house repair (accounts for 31.4%) because

the people in Mekong river delta often have temporary house so people want to repair the

current house; the next desire is to use money for school expenses of children 21.6%; Other

20.6% want to save money to the bank; number of households who want to use money to buy

property is 17.1 % and other 1.08% want to invest in small business; One of typical

characteristics of Mekong River Delta is household often own a larger area of agriculture

land so the number of PAPs opt for receiving money to buy land is low. Consequently, there

is only 4.5 % of PAPs selecting this option.

With the promulgation of Decree 69/2009/ND-CP dated 13 August 2009 of Vietnamese • Government regulating additional land use plan, land prices, land acquisition, compensation, assistance and resettlement, policy and legal framework of Vietnamese Government on •..resettlement is consistent in most respects with the principles ofWB's policy.

Beside Gov's laws and regulations, Bac Lieu province released legal documents to guide •utilization of Gov's regulations on land acquisition, compensation and resettlement in Bac .. Lieu territory. The following Decisions promUlgated regulations for compensation, assistant and resettlement when Government acquires land on the territory of Bac Lieu province:

The OP 4.12 aims to avoid involuntary resettlement to the extent feasible, or to minimize and mitigate its adverse social and economic impacts. It promotes participation of ..• displaced people in resettlement planning and implementation, and its key economic objective is to assist displaced persons in their efforts to improve or at least restore their incomes and standards of living after displacement. The policy prescribes compensation IIf and other resettlement measures to achieve its objectives and requires that borrowers Ii prepare adequate resettlement planning instruments prior to Bank appraisal of proposed projects. .." For preparation and implementation of activities involving land acquisition, compensation, relocation, and restriction of resources uses, the policies require close II consultation of the affected population and appropriate mitigation of the potential

Mitigation measures of potential negative impacts due to both land acquisition and restriction of access have been considered during the design of the project by emphasizing community· based collective management of potential negative impact, which will be in line with Bank policy, as part of a project subcomponent. The impact that go beyond the threshold of voluntary donation, a separate and standalone RAP (or abbreviated ones) will be prepared to fully comply with the OP 4.12 .

iii. Key Differences between Government and WB Policy

...' There is basic difference between Viet Nam's laws and the World Bank's Involuntary Resettlement Policy especially with regard to the entitlement of PAPs with legal and illegal rights/titles.

..

The World Bank Policy does not consider the absence of legal rights of PAPs on the acquired land as an impediment to receiving compensation for other assets and for rehabilitation assistance. Non·registration of a PAP's business also does not bar them from being assisted in restoring their business. There is also slight difference in the definition of major/severe impacts. Key differences between WB Involuntary Resettlement Policy and Viet Nam's legislation, including measures to address the differences, are outlined in Table below.

Table 24: Key differences between WB Involuntary Resettlement Policy and Viet Nam's legislation

---• --

I "Agricultural land for land of equal productive capacity" means that the land provided as compensation should be able to produce the same or better yield the PAP was producing on his/her previous land. The production should be in the planting season immediately following the land acquisition. It can be for a future period if transitional allowance equal to the household's previous yield is provided to the PAP household while waiting for the land to get back to the same productivity as the previous land.

3.3 Compensation and entitlements

Eligibility: All PAPs who are identified in the project~impacted areas on the cut-off date of the Project will be entitled to compensation for their affected assets, and rehabilitation measures sufficient to assist them to improve or at least maintain their pre-project living standards, income-earning capacity and production levels. The cut-off date will be the final day of the detailed measurement survey (DMS) in the subproject/investment. Those who encroach into the investment area after the cut-off date will not be entitled to compensation or any other assistance.

-

Entitlements: Based on the types of impacts, category of PAPs, and their entitlements the

project will prepare specific entitlements to each category of PAPs following the entitlement

matrix below as appropriate. Following detailed design, DMS and social assessments will be

the basis for determining actual impacts, and replacement cost surveys will be carried out to

determine actual replacement costs and rates and to update this RAP and the entitlement

matrix below.

Compensation rates will be continuously updated to ensure that PAPs receive compensation at replacement cost at the time of compensation payment. •..

I

Resettlement Consultant conducted replacement unit prices survey in the area of affected communes, the survey was conducted in November and December 2010. Replacement cost study and survey was conducted based on the following basic principles: (i) ..• productive land (agricultural land, fish ponds, gardens, forests) based on market prices reflecting the last sales in the locality and surrounding area; (ii) crops is valued equivalent to market value at the time of compensation, and (iii) perennial trees and fruit trees are compensated in cash according to market prices by tree kinds, tree diameter, or a value of output at the time ofcompensation.;

•lIP

Replacement Cost Survey was conducted through (i) study of the average revenue for agricultural industries (income generated from land) in the locality, (ii) interviews and surveys of project affected households and non-project affected households and (iii) .,observations and surveys in residential areas. Thereby, replacement unit price is ..proposed for the subproject.

Currently, regulations on compensation unit price and allowances for land, trees, crops as well as architectural objects, houses in Decision 04/2010/QD - UBND dated 5/3/2010 of •II Bac Lieu PPC regulation for compensation, assistance and resettlement when the Government acquires land on Bac Lieu territory; Base on results of market price survey, Resettlement Consultant has conducted the comparison result between market prices and •..compensation unit prices regulated in documents and policies of the province in 2009, and realized that the market price are equivalent or lower than unit price released by PPC. Prices issued by the province are relatively close to the market prices. •..

• Price is calculated before moving, including tax as followings:

(i) Production land is based on latest market price, if not based on production "•value;

(ii) Residential land is based on latest market price, if not, based on the price of • the same characteristic and location; ..

(iii) House and other related structures are based on market price on maerial,

.' Updated Replacement Cost Survey (RCS) will be done immediately after the results of Detailed Measurement Survey is completed. This aims to enable a comparison between proposed compensation tariffs (based on Provincial People's Committee's compensation regulations) and replacement costs (identified through the survey). The comparison aims to identify the differences in compensation tariff (between provincial rates and replacement cost survey results) and allow adjustment (to reflect replacement cost) and facilitate consultation and consensus among affected population. Prices will be updated to take into account price increase, especially if resettlement implementation is delayed.

- Given the small magnitude of impact at household level (based on the nature of project interventions) location of subprojects being in rural area where fluctuation in land prices is limited, the RCS could take the form of collecting information on land trading transactions - (primarily at the time of compensation). This information could be collected by interviewing local people residing in the neighborhood of PAP. Sampling should be reasonably sufficient to allow the comparison between proposed provincial compensation rate~ and replacement costs to achieve consensus from affected households and the Task Team will follow up

8.3. Cost estimation - Tables below details the subproject resettlement costs including (i) compensation for land acquired permanently or temporarily, (ii) compensation for structures, architectural objects, houses, crops and trees; (iii) allowances; and (iv) implementation and contingency costs - According to replacement cost survey, the unit prices regulated by provinces are different from the market prices applying for affected assets.

According to below Table, the residential and area has been compensated as Decision No.

68/2009/QD - UBND of Bac Lieu province. The replacement cost survey at commune and

district area is higher than the regulated unit price of the province, basing on that issue we • recommend unit prices as follow. Ii The market price apply to production land (include garden, agricultural land, surface water

for aquaculture), it is difficult to asses to some areas with less market transactions. The

affected persons supposed that there is not different between unit price applied for

agricultural land compensation between market price and regulated from the province, we I also recommend unit price apply for areas in the subproject area. II Table 30: Compensation price and market price apply for garden, agricultural land and
