1.3. Optimizing Project Design to Reduce Resettlement Impacts
5. In the engineering design phase, the impact of the LAR should be minimum, the main principles are following:
To avoid or minimize the occupation of existing and planned residential areas (rural and urban);
To avoid or minimize the acquisition of high quality arable land;
To use existing state and local roads towards to the proposed construction area;
To avoid or minimize the occupation of environmentally sensitive areas; and
To select the resettlement areas in line with the local development plan.
6. The road route selection should be combined with existing roads to avoid or reduce occupancy of existing building and cultivated land.
7. The original project plans to build a wastewater treatment plant, which would cause the HD of 75 rural households and 120 mu cultivated land acquisition. After field consultation with the affected Wuli village and residents, the PMO and design institute (DI) decided to abandan the plant construction, which avoids about 13,500 m2 of HD and 120 mu of LA. Details are presented

3.2.2 Age
71. The age distribution reveals that 36-50 age groups for both men and women accounts for 33.16% of the total population; male for 17.17% and female for 15.99%; Secondly, 20-35 age groups accounts for 27.26 %, the other part, and 51-60 age group for 14.22%, this 3 groups constitutes the main labor force.
Figure 3-1: Age distribution of Affcted People
72. Based on the survey, many male family members over 60 and female over 55 are still engaged in social work. However the definition of actual Labor force should be defined in the section of 16 to 65 - year - old male and 16 to 60 years old female, who have stopped school education. According to this, the total number of labor force accounts for more than 74.64% of people surveyed.
3.2.3 Education
73. Among the APs, junior high school degree accounts for 43.64%; elementary school degree for 26.34%, high school / technical secondary school degree for 19.46%, and bachelor, or postgraduate degree or even more higher education degree for 5.83%. For APs with degree of secondary and higher education, the proportion of male slightly higher than that of female, while for college degree above, female’s is higher 1.3% than men’s. these statistics show that female’s education degree improved in the affected area, and it is need to be kept to pay more attention to female's rights in implementation of the project, as well as to employment skills training for female.

3.3. Gender Analysis
3.3.1. Gender Differences in Education
81. It is shown that 43.64% affected family members received junior high school education, female accounting for 23.07% and male for 20.58%; 26.34% affected family members received primary school education, the proportion of female higher 1.18% than the male; college degree or above higher education accounts for 5.83%, among them the proportion of female higher 1.25% than the male.
Figure 3-4: Education Level Difference between Men and Women
3.3.2. Gender Difference in Occupation and Income
82. It is shown that the proportion of women dealing with agriculture, business, industry and short-term labor, and working at government agencies or public institutions are slightly lower than those of men. In most farming households, men usually work elsewhere or locally in the slack season, and would return home for farming in the busy season.
Figure 3-5: Occupation Difference between Men and Women
36
83. In order to better identify the income level of the affected male and female laborers, 30 AHs were sampled randomly during the survey. The result showed that the average of annual income of male laborers was 25,386 yuan, while it was 17,509 yuan for female laborers. It is explained that men work outside for non-farm activities longer than women, while female engaged in agricultural production activities at home more than men.

84. In the annual income interval of below 15,000 yuan, men’s average income differs slightly from that of women. In the annual income interval of 15,000-35,000 yuan, men’s average income is much higher than that of women. It is because male laborers mostly deal with business or high-pay jobs and earn more income, while women mostly do housework at home, and have less time and chances to earn more money.

85. Table 3-9 showed the proportion of women’s income in household total income among 30 sampling households with female labor (doing farm work mainly, and some dealing with services). The average women’s income is accounted for 20%-80% of total household income, averaging 47%. This shows that women’s economic status is improving. Therefore, great attention should
37
be paid to the protection of women’s rights during project implementation.

3.3.3. Summary
86. In urben households, more and more women begin to earn income, and have a greater voice on important household matters, such as children’s education and housing purchase. They also assume the responsibility of taking care of children and doing housework. Women would take part in social activities like men do in leisure time.
87. Except regular housework (e.g., cooking, cleaning, shopping daily necessities), female residents also do farm work in order to secure household income and maintain livelihoods together with men.
88. Women engaged in stockbreeding mostly play a major role in the routine raising and management of livestock and poultry, while men are responsible mainly for the purchase of feeds, marketing of products, maintenance of stables and disease prevention. Of course, women engaged in stockbreeding sometimes unavoidably do such housework as cooking and cleaning, while men sometimes work locally or elsewhere to increase household income.
89. According to the survey, women’s concerns about resettlement are essentially the same as those of men, regardless of their occupation:
(i) Compensation for houses should be available timely, and the location of resettlement housing and resettlement program should be rational.
(ii) Resettlement housing should be located beside roads for the convenience of going to work, doing business and going to school.
(iii) The living environment for resettlement housing should be better so that they can adapt to urban life more conveniently.
(iv) Jobs generated by the project should be provided to women so that they participate in the project.

Notice of Amendment "Tacheng City landless farmers employment training and social life insurance implementation approach" (Tacheng government [2013] No.59)
4.2. ADB’s Policy Requirement on Involuntary Resettlement 91. The obectives of ADB's Involuntary Resettlement Policy are (i) If possible, involuntary resettlement should be avoided; (ii) If resettlement is unavoidable, all feasible options should
39
be explored and the scope of resettlement should be as small as possible; (iii) Ensure that the displaced persons have the same economic and social conditions before and after the project; and (iv) Improve the living standard of displaced poor and other vulnerable groups..
92. Involuntary resettlement is an important part of the project design and resettlement plans. Planning and implementation should take into account the following basic principles:
(1) Screen the project early on to identify past, present, and future involuntary resettlement impacts and risks. Determine the scope of resettlement planning through a survey and/or census of displaced persons, including a gender analysis, specifically related to resettlement impacts and risks.
(2) Carry out meaningful consultations with affected persons, host communities, and concerned nongovernmental organizations. Informally displaced persons of their entitlements and resettlement options. Ensure their participation in planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of resettlement programs. Pay particular attention to the needs of vulnerable groups. Support the social and cultural institutions of displaced persons and assist the local population in the resettlement area
(3) Improve or at least remain, the livelihoods of all displaced persons through (i) land-based resettlement strategies when affected livelihoods are land based where possible or cash compensation at replacement value for land when the loss of land does not undermine livelihoods, (ii) prompt replacement of assets with access to assets of equal or higher value, (iii) prompt compensation at full replacement cost for assets that cannot be restored, and (iv) additional revenues and services through benefit sharing schemes where possible.
(4) Provide physically and economically displaced persons with needed assistance, including the following: (i) if there is relocation, secured tenure to relocation land, better housing at resettlement sites with comparable access to employment and production opportunities, integration of resettled persons economically and socially into their host communities, and extension of project benefits to host communities; (ii) transitional support and development assistance, such as land development, credit facilities, training, or employment opportunities; and (iii) civic infrastructure and community services, as required.
(5) Improve the standards of living of the displaced poor and other vulnerable groups, including women, to at least national minimum standards. In rural areas provide them with legal and affordable access to land and resources, and in urban areas provide them with appropriate income sources and legal and affordable access to adequate housing.
(6) Develop procedures in a transparent, consistent, and equitable manner if land acquisition is through negotiated settlement to ensure that those people who enter into negotiated settlements will maintain the same or better income and livelihood status.
(7) Ensure that displaced persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for loss of non-land assets.
(8) Prepare a resettlement plan elaborating on displaced persons’ entitlements, the income and livelihood restoration strategy, institutional arrangements, monitoring and reporting framework, budget, and time-bound implementation schedule.
(9) Disclose a draft resettlement plan, including documentation of the consultation process in a timely manner, before project appraisal, in an accessible place and a form and language(s) understandable to affected persons and other stakeholders. Disclose the final resettlement plan and its updates to affected persons and other stakeholders.
(10) Conceive and execute involuntary resettlement as part of a development project or program. Include the full costs of resettlement in the presentation of the project’s costs and
40
benefits. For a project with significant involuntary resettlement impacts, consider implementing the involuntary resettlement component of the project as a stand-alone operation.
(11) Pay compensation and provide other resettlement entitlements before physical or economic relocation. Implement the resettlement plan under close supervision throughout project implementation.
(12) Monitor and assess resettlement outcomes, their impacts on the standards of living of displaced persons, and whether the objectives of the resettlement plan have been achieved by taking into account the baseline conditions and the results of resettlement monitoring. Disclose monitoring reports.
4.3. Differences between ADB and PRC Policies
93. Generally speaking, there are many similarities between the ADB’s involuntary resettlement policies and the PRC’s LAR policies, which include:
Both of them address importance to avoid or reduce resettlement impacts during the planning and design stage of a project;
Both of them address importance of the restoration and improvement of the livelihood of APs;
Both of them address importance of the openness and transparency of the resettlement policies;
Both of them address importance of the participation and awareness of the public during resettlement;
Both of them require that the formulation and implementation of the resettlement compensation standard must be in accordance with relevant national laws, regulations and policies.
94. However, there are still some differences in some aspects between ABD’s involuntary resettlement policies and the PRC’s LAR policies, which include:
ADB addresses more importance of the planning prior to the implementation of resettlement, and it requires that a feasible RP to be prepared in accordance with ADB’s involuntary resettlement policies;
The ADB’s resettlement policies ensure that displaced persons without titles to land or any recognizable legal rights to land are eligible for resettlement assistance and compensation for loss of non-land assets at replacement costs. However, the LAR policies of the PRC provide a different compensation policy to unlicensed structures;
ADB has specific and clear requirements on public participation and public opinion polls surveys, such as consultation and information on compensation standards must be published;
ADB policy requires that the compensation should be sufficient to any losses and restore long-term revenue potential. Chinese standards are based on the average annual output value.
ADB addresses more importance of the special care extended to the vulnerable people during resettlement; and
ADB addresses more importance of monitoring and evaluation during and after resettlement implementation.
41
95. Based on the above analysis, during preparation for the LAR, this project have taken full account of the relevant policies of ADB and the following measures:
The preparation of the Project and RP must be based on concrete social economic survey, physical impact survey, detail social analysis;
Special cares must be given to vulnerable people including poor, women, during preparation and implementation of the LAR;
Make compensation at replacement value to buildings without titles to land constructed before the cut-off date;
After compensation to the AP(s) for land loss, the further technical training, public employment, job support should be provided to APs to restore their sustainable livelihoods;
Publish the RP and resettlement information booklet (RIB) in accordance with requirements of ADB; and
Establish internal and external monitoring systems for the LAR and conduct monitoring and evaluation during and after implementation of the RP.
96. With the above measures, the ADB’s resettlement policies and the PRC’s LAR policy gaps will be bridged and the smooth implementation of the LAR will be guaranteed.
4.4. Eligibility and Beneficiaries
97. The cut-off date for eligibility for the compensation is January 31, 2015 on which Tacheng City government confirms the RP. Any newly claimed land, newly built house or settlement in the project area by the APs after this date will not be entitled to the compensation or subsidization.

5. Resettlement Measures
5.1. Objectives of Resettlement
117. The objectives of the project resettlement is to restore the AHs’ annual net income per capita to the pre-resettlement level and further improved with local economic development.
5.2. Principles for Resettlement Recovery Plan
118. According to the applicable laws and regulations of the PRC and ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement, the following basic principles will apply to the resettlement work of the Project:
(1) Implement resettlement and the applicable compensation policies properly to improve or at least restore the production level and standard of living of the affected residents;
(2) The affected people shall be fully consulted for resettlement programs;
(3) The planning layout shall be determined on the principle of “facilitating production and life”; and
(4) Resettlement shall be combined with the local urban development, resources development, economic development and environmental protection programs. Feasible measures shall be designed to restore and improve the displaced persons’ production level and standard of living, and create necessary conditions for their self-development.
5.3. Recovery plan for State-owned Land Acquisition
119. Yuanyichang Farm is a state-owned farm to develop agricultural comprehensive production. It has 5,000 mu of cultivated land, 1,000 mu of forest land, 1,000 mu of orchard, 2,500 mu of cultivated land, 500 mu of non-contracted land. The dominated agricultural production of the farm includes fruit, hops and facilities, mainly corn, hops and orchard such as apple, strawberries, and some vegetable production. By 2012, the whole population is 2,655 people and 417 households, including Han, Hui, Russia, Mongolian, Uygur and other ten ethnic groups.
120. Workers of the farm engage agricultural production on their contracted land to get income, while Yuanyichang does not pay salary to the workers. After reaching the retirement age, the workers will not have right to contract and use the arable land continually. According to the regulation and procedures, the management committee of the farm will assign and contract the arable land to other workers who are still on position in the farm. Retired workers will receive retirement wages in accordance with standands of basic pension insurance for urban workers.
121. This project will acquire 348.16 mu of Yuanyichang state-owned agriculture land permanently, accounting for 6.96% of the total arable land of the farm. The land compensation and resettlement subsidy for the land acquisition will be paid to the the farm management committee directly. The management committee will distribute the same area of arable land with the same quality to the affected workers. Yuanyichang has reserved 500 mu of non-contracted land that can be adjusted for the affected workers.
122. According to wishness survey on 99 affected households, all affected workers support the project. They undderstand they the land they are planting belongs to Yuanyichang, not belongs to the workers. However, they know Yuanyichang will adjust the non-contracted land to them with the same area and quality. Therefore, the land acqusition will affect little to them. However, they hope that the construction schedule will be noticed with six months in advance. If the construction start in the crop growing season, reasonable compensation for crop loss shall be paid to them. So the construction is better to be mobilized after crop harvest period. They also hope after land acqusition, some planting
60
technology training and instruction shall be provided, so that they can obtained bigger benefit from arable land. Part affected workers think based facilities of construction, sanitation and city environment can be improved, and also will led economic developing for Tacheng City, also will increased employment opportunities, while the project implementation period, they hope they have opportunity to participate in the project.
123. Accordng to the consultation with affected workers, resettlement measures are prepared to support affected workers’ improvement of livelihood and income, including:
(i) Temporary employment: affected workers will be employed prioritly in the project during the project construction;
(ii) Improvement of agricultural production structures: training on planting and poultry raising tequnics will be provided by relevant government departments, increasing cultivated farmland of economic crop planting, and developing household poultry raising; and
(iii) Technical training: training on economic crop planting, poutry raining, non-agricutlure skills will be provided to affected households at least one time per household.
5.4. Summary of Restoration Program for Acquisition of Cultivated Land
124. In order to improve or restore their original production, living and income levels as soon as possible, in addition to pay the land compensation to the AHs, the PMO also developed a restoration plan on the basis of full consultation for the APs and in accordance with the status of the AHs.
(1) APs will engage in non-agricultural activities via the cash compensation. With the improvement of urban functions and the increase of urban scale, Tacheng City's commercial and service industry has also been fast developed, and more and more people have engaged in these sectors. So the AHs can use cash compensation for commercial and service industry investment. For example: with the increase of urban area, and the improvement of road conditions, the demand for taxi is continually increased, and the affected villagers can use the compensation money to buy a car as taxi. They can also improve the income by renting the commercial houses with the cash compensation or engage in commercial activities, such as running a department store, or running a restaurant.
(2) Participation in the land-losing farmers social insurance, ensure that living standard of the landless farmers is not reduced. Eligible farmers can incorporate urban residents in pension system and provide long-term reliable basic protection.
125. In order to work social life guarantees of affected farmers, in June 2013, Tacheng Government issued Notice on Amendment of Imolementation Methods of Employment Training and Social Security of Landless Farmers of Tacheng City (Tacheng Government issued No.59 [2013]). This project will be implemented for affected farmers as according to this notice, and the specific approach is as following:
(1) Landless farmers’ social security scope

(3) Improvement of agricultural production structures
To adjust agricultural structure, guided by government departments, and conduct training on planting and breeding techniques, expand economic crop planting acreage, and develop the family breeding stocks. With the help of relevant government institutions and the technical training, the APs can engage in greenhouses business, and plant vegetables in greenhouses to increase income with the land compensation; and they can combine their location and the actual situation to develop in sheep, cattle, pigs and other large-scale livestock’s to increase incomes.
126. Throughout the production restoration process, the PMO will organize the APs for free technical training, such as some economic crops planting and farming as well as some other types of industries.
127. Meanwhile, during the project construction process, the IA will take some helps and supports and restoration measures for resettlement, including:
(1) During the project, the IA will give priority to the affected persons to involve in the project labor; for example: Construction contractor provides the needed numbers and the working types before starting construction to local government and to discuss the training programs, so that more APs can benefit from it. According to the opinions survey, 97% of the APs want to participate in their slack time to this project. After Tacheng City road construction completed, the road area, and green area will be increased, and the road maintenance equipments are improved, which requires more road maintenance workers, and green area management workers, lighting conservation and management of workers, equipment and vehicle drivers. According to the procurement of project construction content and devices, according to preliminary estimates the project implementation and operation period will creat 1,037 jobs, the project is expected to generate jobs as shown in Table 5-1.

(2) Throughout the production restoration process, all the APs will be organized to take technical training. such as some economic crops, to invite the technical staffs from agricultural sector and the labor and social security departments to train the affected people on farming technical and other aspects. each affected household can receive at least twice training on farming and non-agricultural production training, through these measures to
63
improve skills to increase income of affected persons to restore the livelihoods.
5.5. Resettlement Program for Displaced Households
5.5.1. Resettlement program for residential households
128. The households affected by HD may chose cash compensation or property right exchange or purchase commercial housing. They may choose a resettlement option based on affordability and individualized needs.
(1) Cash Compensation
129. A house will be appraised by a real estate appraisal agency based on location, house structure, construction size, floor and decoration, and by reference to market price; the cash compensation would be fully paid at one time after sign the contract. After getting cash compensation. AHs can purchase commercial houses or by a second house, or do investment according to their individualized needs.
130. Among the 187 households affected by HD, 11.23% have chosen cash compensation, because they mostly have already purchased commercial housing in Tacheng City, so they will use compensation for other investments.
131. Case: For example, for a household with three persons, if their house size in masonry concrete structure (licensed main rooms) is 70 m2, the size in masonry timber structure (licensed) 30 m2, and the size in masonry timber structure (unlicensed wing rooms) is 50 m2, and the open area in yard is 180 m2, this household will receive the following compensation: (i) compensation for houses of the main residential house area (licensed main rooms): 287,500 yuan; (ii) compensation for wing houses in masonry timber structure (unlicensed): 65,000yuan; (iii) compensation for state-owned housing land: 25,200 yuan; and (iv) moving subsidy: 1,000 yuan, and transition allowance:10,800 yuan, totaling 389,500 yuan.
132. Based on real estate prices of Tacheng City in the first half of 2013 (see table 5-2), the average price of new commercial houses of multi-storied buildings is 2,800 yuan/m2. With the compensation, each AH may purchase a 110 m2 commercial house with three bedrooms, two living rooms and one bathroom, and has a remaining sum of 81,150 yuan, in which 50,000 can be used for remodeling, and others may be used for other investments.
(2) Property Right Exchange
133. The compensation price for demolished houses will be determined based on house appraisal by a real estate appraisal and survey company on-site, and plus moving subsidy, temporary transition allowance, and land compensation fees, etc. The compensation prices for demolished houses will be compared with the resettlement house prices. If the compensation prices are higher than the resettlement house prices, the IA will pay the difference to APs in cash. Otherwise, APs will pay the difference to the IA for the resettlement houses. APs can select different floors of resettlement houses (apartment) and different types of houses. The floor prices are different: ground floor: 2,600 yuan/ m
2,
second floor: 2,860 yuan/m2, third floor: 3,120 yuan/m2, fourth floor: 2,730 yuan/m2, fifth floor: 2,470 yuan/m2, and sixth floor: 1,820 yuan/m2.
134. Considering most of AHs will continure doing fam work in a short time after moving into apartment buildings, Tacheng City Project Office planed to build a storage for AHs to store their farm machinery and agricultural production materials, tools and products after full consultation with affrected villagers. The storage is located in the south of the plaaned Sihuan Road and the east of Xixing South Road of Baketu, Liaota New Zone. The storage will cover an area of 11 mu of state
64
owned unused land and building area is about 2000 square meters. It plans to start construction in May 2015, and deliver to use in October 2015.
135. Among the 187 AHs, 55.61% have chosen the property right exchange. Their current houses are mostly in earth timber and masonry timber structures, and out of repair, without central heating,
water supply and drainage systems. Their surrounding environment and roads are poor, making traffic inconvenient. They will be eligible for improved housing with similar floor space.

Fifth floor 2,660 yuan/m2
Sixth floor 1,960 yuan/m2

136. Case: If any AHs select the property right exchange, the building area in the same to their former houses will be exchanged, while other houses (unlicensed) and other facilities will be compensated for at appraised price. For example, for a household with three persons, if the size in masonry concrete structure (licensed main rooms) is 80 m2, and the size in masonry timber structure (unlicensed wing rooms) is 30 m2, and this household selects property right exchange, it will exchange its house for a 107 m2 apartment with three bedrooms and two living rooms at the ratio of 1:1 for masonry concrete structure, and 1:0.9 of the size of the acquired house in masonry timber structure. They can also receive cash compensation for other rooms and for house land. The resettlement housing will be provided with water supply, drainage and central heating facilities, and have a better environment and better structures. Another case on the property right exchange calculation of demolished house area and the resettled house area is: taking a household with three persons as example, the total house area is 180.78 m2, of which the main room brick and concrete structure is 65.78 m2, brick non-main room is 90.12 m2, earth-wood outbuildings is 24.88 m2. In addition, the garden land space is 189 m2. After a real estate appraisal, considering moving and transition subsidies, ancillary facilities, housing land and other related compnesations, the AH can receive a compensation of about 364,800 yuan. According to the property right exchange of a third floor apartment in 3,120 yuan/m2, the AH can exchnage a resettlement house with three bed rooms and a living room and a wash room in an construction area of 116.92 m2. If they like to buy a commercial house (apartment), according to the price of 3,360 yuan/m2 for the third floor of commercial houses in late half of year 2013, the AH can buy a house with 108 m2. Therefore, the resettlement program of Tacheng city can make AHs get resettlement houses with the same size or more than the original main house. Currently the average AHs have 3.5 people and the resettlement house with three bed rooms, two living rooms and a wash room in 116.92 m2 can meet their need.
(3) After Cash Compensation, Self Construction of Resettlement Houses on Unified Planning Land
137. If APs do not want to live in apartment buildings, but they like to live in flat houses, they can build their own houses on the unified planning land after they receive the cash compensation for their house demolition. The resettlement houses will be built on the collective unused land according to the unified planning.
65
138. According to the survey, 33.16% of AHs prefer to build their own houses on the designated relocation land. They hope build the houses on the new homestead with the same size as the original one, with a separate courtyard. The affected villages have the collective unused land, and can provide the land to AHs for the new house (or cottages) construction after the unified planning of the land utilization.
139. According to building materials market and local labor market in Tacheng city in the second half of 2013, the cost of self-built brick structure houses with color steel surface is about 1,280-1,350 yuan/m2. It should be 1,380 - 1,450 yuan/m2 in 2015.
140. The compensation for house demolition will be based on full replacement price of the demolished houses and full consultation and negotiation between AHs and local house demolition agencies, and the final agreements. Usually the final compensation is higher than the current market price to build brick structure color steel surface bungalows. Therefore, the compensation is totally enough for self-constructed houses in the relocated homesteads in the affected villages.
141. Xinqu Resttlement Community Introduction—this community is located on the east of 2nd Ring Road and on the south of Fukang Road of Baketu, Liaota New Zone, where is nearby Liuhe Square and the center of New District, and have a planned land area of 33,350 m2, construction area of 41,028 m2, including a residential building area of 31,963 m2 and a commercial area of 5,084 m2. The community is planned to accommodate 353 households with 1,250 persons, and 55 commercial shops.

142. Flat House Resettlement Location Instruction: the resettlement area for construction of flat houses is located on both sides of the Ejia Road, Tacheng City, adjacent to the Guihua No.5 Road, 3.3 km away from the city. With convenient transportation, residents can easily travel, go to school, or take medical care, only 3 km far away from the Tacheng City High School, 3.5 km from the city hospital. According to the planed design, housing lands in the resettlement area will be allocated to AHs for construction of their own houses after they receive a one-time cash compensation for their house demolition.
67
5.6. Resettlement Programs of Private Shops
143. The resettlement for commercial shops includes: (i) monetary compensation; and (ii) property rights exchange of shop houses. AHs can select one of the resettlement compensations.
144. For the property right exchange option, the current shop houses will be appraised by a real estate assessment institution according to shop specific location, building structure, construction area, and market price. The assessment price will be discussed with AHs. If AHs agree the property right exchange, the compensation will include the shop moving and transition subsidies, and housing land compensation fee, and the shop house assessment price. The compensation will be compared with the cost of resettlement shop houses. If the resettlement shop cost is higher than the shop compensation, AHs will pay the extra part. Otherwise, the house demolition agency will pay the extra part to AHs if the compensation for the demolished shop houses is higher than the resettlement shop cost. At present, the resettlement shop costs for the property right exchange are 5,000 yuan/m2 for shops at the first floor and 4,000 yuan/m2 for shops at the second floor. All resettlement shop houses for the property right exchange are located at the first floor and the second floor of buildings in the resettlement area. Unit sizes of the shop houses are in range of 20m2-80 m2.
145. For the monetary compensation option, the current shop houses will be appraised by a real estate assessment institution according to shop specific location, building structure, construction area, and market price. The assessment price will be discussed with AHs. The compensation will include the shop moving and transition subsidies, and housing land compensation fee, and the shop house assessment price. AHs can decide by themselves to buy new houses in different places to continue their business or do other businesses after they receive the compensation.
146. According to the survey, 5 commercial stores will be affected by this project. They are operating small shops in rural residential areas, nearby the project roads. During implementation of the resettlement, the PMO will notify the store operators in advance to give them enough time for finding new place for their business. The property right owners of affected shops have priority to select shop houses at the first floor or second floor in the resettlement community, or buy or rent shop houses at other places with the compensation to continue their businesses. For employees who are working on affected shops but the owners of the shops will not continue their operation after the house demolition, Tacheng Government is responsible for providing free re-employment training according to APs’ needs, and then priority to recommend them in employment. Because AHs already have the business experience and capability, and are familiar with local surroundings, they can restore their business within 2-3 months. In addition, after the completion of the road construction, with improvement of infrastructure environment and economic development, and more people move into the resettlement community, the business of the AHs will be better and better.
5.7. Restoration Program for Enterprises
147. Affected enterprises can select one of resettlement options: (i) continuing their businesses in any places decided by themselves after receiving monetary compensation; and (ii) moving into a industrial park and building their own houses according to unified planning after receiving the monetary compensation.
148. The project will affect 10 enterprises due to the house demolition, including full demolition of 6 enterprises, and partial demolition of 4 enterprises. 122 employees, including 22 ethnic minority workers will be affected.

71
6. Public Participation and Grievance Redress
154. According to relevant policies and regulations of the PRC, regional and municipal on LAR, it is very necessary to conduct public consultation and encourage active participation of APs in project preparation and implementation stages in order to protect the lawful rights and interests of the APs, reduce grievances and disputes, and realize the resettlement objectives properly. Consultation has been fully highlighted during preparing RP, and organizing implementation.
6.1. Consultation at Preparation Stage
6.1.1. Completed Public Participation Activities
155. As to all significant topics for discussion involved in the planning stage of resettlement, the PMO has organized meetings and discussions of design institute (DI), consultant agency, local communities and APs to disclose information and conduct public consultation in various ways from March 2013 to July 2014. Including:
(i) Design optimization discussion in order to minimize land acquisition and resettlement impacts;
(ii) Impact survey based on the FSR to get detailed information on population, houses, land, special facilities, APs, shops and enterprises in the project area;
(iii) Consultation with managers of affected villages, to get the socio-economic background of them and discuss the LA options and the compensation standards with the villagers; and
(iv) Opinion survey on APs;
156. The public participation and consultation provided a basis for the improvement of the RP. During consultation, Uygur or Kazak language translator is arranged for the ethnic groups who can’t speak Han language.
157. These meetings and surveys played an important role in developing rational compensation rates, restoration programs and training programs. It has been found that the AHs’ main concerns are:
(i) Since the LA area is not large, the LA will have little impact of their income condition. They only concern whether the compensation can be paid timely and whether crop cultivation training and livestock breeding technical training can be conducted.
(ii) The house demolition prospect: the APs’ first concern is the compensation standards, then is the resettlement sites, and finally is life issues during the transition period.
(iii) For the removal from the demolished cottage to the building are acceptable, that is regarded as an opportunity to improve their living conditions.
(iv) Women believe that after relocated to the building, the heating problem in winter has been resolved, which can reduce the pressure on women's labor and the heating costs.
(v) Due to the construction of the road, inconvenience to daily travel would be problems, the construction process may cause noise, dust, construction waste; and have to take measures to deal with or mitigate pollutions.
(vi) The road construction period and dates should be published promptly to inform the residents living nearby, let them know the inconvenience in advance.
158. Based on the above discussions, the PMO:
72
(i) has developed land acquisition compensation standards, and will inform to the APs in advance. After the agreement is signed, the land compensation will be paid timely.
(ii) discussed with Tacheng City People's Government about APs most concerned issues, such as the resettlement work, and discussed with the labor and social security bureau about the relevant training issues for AHs.
(iii) discussed a satisfied resettlement plan for the APs with Tacheng house demolition department and resettlement house construction units. On the one hand, the house demolition department will further explain the policies on house demolition and compensation standards to the affected households, on the other hand, resettlement house construction units should regularly announce the resettlement house construction situation to the affected households. Life issues during the transition period for affected households concern, resettlement housing construction is urged to be completed as soon as possible, and transition costs should be given to the affected families, to give some help for vulnerable groups to ensure they can go smoothly with the transition period. Some important issues during the project preparation consultation/meeting are listed in Table 6-1.

6.3. Appeal Procedure
161. Since public participation is encouraged during the preparation and implementation of the RP, no substantial disputes are anticipated. However, unforeseeable circumstances may arise during this process. In order to address issues effectively, and ensure the successful implementation of project construction and land acquisition, a transparent, accessible and effective grievance redress mechanism has been established. The system has shown in figure 6-1. The basic grievance redress system is as follows:
Stage 1: If any AP is dissatisfied with any land acquisition and resettlement of any other safeguards related problems, he/she may file an oral or written appeal with the community committee/sub-district office orally or in writing. In case of an oral appeal, the community committee/sub-district office shall handle such appeal and keep written records. Such appeal should be solved within 2 weeks.
Stage 2: If the AP is dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 1, he/she may file an appeal with Tacheng City Land and Resources Bureau or the LA and HD management office (depending upon the issue) after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within 2 weeks.
Stage 3: If the AP is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 2, he/she may file an appeal with Tacheng City PMO receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within 2 weeks.
Stage 4: If the AP is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 3, he/she may apply for administrative reconsideration with Tacheng City Government after receiving such disposition within 3 months.
162. Alternatively, he/she may file an action in a civil court in accordance with the Civil Procedure Law of the PRC at any time irrespective of the use and progress of the GRM process.
163. At each stage, when the responsible agencies receive the appeal, it will be also copied to the PMO for discussion, so that the grievance can be redressed at lower levels. All grievances (and their resolution) at each stage will be recorded and kept. The PMO will report the grievances and their resolution) to ADB in semiannual monitoring reports.
164. Alternatively, the aggrieved person(s) may submit a complaint to the ADB’s Project Team to try to resolve the problem. If good faith efforts are still unsuccessful, they may submit their
77
complaint to ADB's Accountability Mechanism (2012).4 The first step requires good faith efforts to resolve the problem with the ADB Project Team. Besides, reporting behaviors which are against ADB's policies or procedures also welcomed. Website is: www.adb.org/Accountability-Mechanism/.
165. APs may file an appeal on any aspect of resettlement, including compensation rates, etc. The above means of appeal, and the names, locations, persons responsible and telephone numbers of the appeal accepting agencies will be communicated to the APs at a meeting, through an announcement or the RIB, so that the APs know their right of appeal. Mass media will be used to strengthen publicity and reportage, and comments and suggestions on resettlement from all parties concerned will be compiled into messages for disposition by the resettlement organization at all levels.
166. All agencies will accept grievances and appeals from the APs for free, and costs so reasonably incurred will be disbursed from the contingency costs. During the whole construction period of the Project, these appeal procedures will remain effective to ensure that the APs can use them to address relevant issues.

Appendix 5: Due Diligence Report on Land Acquisition and
Resettlement of A Combined Heat and Power Plant
1 Overview of the Project
1. In accordance with "Tachneg General Planning (2012-2030)", the population of Tacheng City would reach 270,0006 by the end of 2015. With the urban development of Tacheng City and Liaota New Zone, new buildings have been constructing continually, which will require more heating supply service. However, current heating capability of Tacheng City has reached its saturation levels. New heating source is required to meet the heating service for new buildings. In May 2012, Tacheng Design Institute, entrusted by Tacheng City Development and Reform Commission (TDRC), compiled the feasibility study report for a new combined heat and power (CHP) plant, which will be funded by China Power Investment Corporation with a total investment of 3 billion yuan and 2X350MW capacity. The plant construction is planned to start in May 2015 and end in 2019.
2. In 2014, Tacheng City Government proposed to use a loan from ADB to build 37,210 m heat-supply pipeline network and 21 heat exchange stations as one of subprojects of Tacheng City Infrastructures and Municipal Services Component of Xinjiang Tacheng Border Cities and Counties Development Project. Due to the heat-supply pipeline network construction is associated with the heating source of the CHP plant, it is necessary to conduct due diligence on LA and HD of the CHP plant.
3. In accordance with “Tacheng Combined Heat and Power Plant Plan” (2012-2020), Tacheng City Government acquired 700 mu state-owned experimental field from Agricultural Research Institute (ARI) of Tacheng Prefecture on 12 September 2012, including 145 mu to be used for construction of Hengxing Cement Plant, and 555 mu for construction of the CHP Plant. According to the ADB’s requirements, Tacheng City Development and Reform Commission, the Tacheng City PMO, and a RP preparation agency conducted a full survey and compiled this due diligence report (DDR) on LAR impact, compensation, payment, etc.
2 Due Diligence Report Preparation
4. The report is prepared by a preparation team composed of the TDRC, the Tcheng City PMO, and a RP preparation agency. From 28 October 2014 to 3 November 2014, the team visited the TDRC, Land and Resource Bureau (TLRB), Agriculture Research Institute (ARI) and other relevant departments to collect the land acquisition, compensation and resettlement agreement and other relevant materials, and interviewed the principal of the ARI and related people. The main contents of this report include: to understand the actual situation of the LA, the process of the LA and compensation payment, to know public participation and complaint cases, to assess the compensation payment for the LA, and ultimately to draw relevant conclusions.

3 Project Impact
5. Tacheng City Government and the ARI signed a Land Replacement Agreement on 12 September 2012. The government acquired 700 mu state-owned experimental field from the ARI, including 145 mu to be used for construction of Hengxing Cement Plant, and 555 mu for construction of the CHP Plant.
6. The ARI, a state-owned public institution, is affiliated to Tacheng Prefecture Agriculture Bureau, established in 1959, mainly engaged in various crops and regions new species introduction and identification, region experiment, production test, pest control research, efficient and synthesis cultivation techniques introduction, study and promotion. The institute has four divisions, scientific research department, gardening department, production promotion department and office, total with 54 staffs and 1,000 mu comprehensive agriculture experimental field which is a coalition of research, production, promotion and training.
7. In the acquired 700 mu land, 85 mu is for hops experimental field, 20 mu for sour plum planting, and 595 mu for wheat breading. There were no residential houses and buildings on the acquired land, so no house demolition were involved in the LA. The ARI can continue to use remaining 300 mu land as a experimental field.
4 Compensation and Payment
8. From March to July 2012, TDRC consulted with ARI several times and finally reached an agreement and singed on 12 September 2013. All the LA work was completed by 15 October 2013.
9. To ensure crops research, experiment, demonstration and promotion of ARI, Tacheng City Government provided 1,000 mu state-owned land in south of Baketu Road to ARI as compensation for acquired 700 mu land.
10. The replacement land (1,000 mu) is located 11 kilometers away from Tacheng City, lying in the south of Baketu Road, convenient transportation. Actually the 1,000mu land was planned to use for a forage base of a dairy farm which was designed to build in 2005 by Tacheng City. However, due to shortage of construction fund, the dairy farm construction failed. In order to the land not being abandoned, the Tacheng City Government appointed Bozidake Farm to manage the land, and the farm can utilize the land for free. However, Tacheng City Government have right to withdraw the land when it is necessary. According to the survey, no complain and dispute have when Tacheng City Government withdraw the land.
11. The 1,000 mu land is owned by Tacheng City Government, and ARI is a state crops experiment station, the replacement land for ARI is allocated free by Tacheng City Government, which also is in charge of corresponding land use certificate handling.
12. In order not to affect regular experiment conducted by Agricultural Research Institute, Tacheng City Government put off the LA until to the experiment finished, so there was no such issue about compensation for young crops. For ground attachments, it was compensated according to the state and Xinjiang region policies and compensation rate. For the 85 mu state-owned hops experimental field and ground attachment, it was compensated in cash of RMB 460,000 Yuan in total; for the 20 mu sour plum planting
145
land, it was compensated based on the tree type and quantity, and 2000 sour plum trees, calculated by 20 Yuan per tree, paid a compensation of RMB 40,000 Yuan in total.
13. Given ARI will face the issue of infrastructure construction on the replacement land, like dropper pipeline, traffic, office, etc. Tacheng City Government provided a fund of RMB 8,000,000 Yuan after consultation with ARI.
14. It is found that the replacement land agreement stipulates the compensation and payment time: after signing the agreement, Tacheng City Government pay the fund of RMB 3,000,000 Yuan for infrastructure construction to ARI and RMB 500,000 Yuan for trees compensation; by 1 March 2013, the fund of RMB 3,000,000 Yuan should be paid and by 1 May 2013, the rest of RMB 2,000,000 Yuan of the fund shall be paid completely. During the survey, it is found that from September 2012 to May 2013, Tacheng City Government paid the compensation for ground attachment and the fund for infrastructure construction to ARI in a total of RMB 8,500,000 Yuan. ARI have conducted relevant test activities in the replacement land from 2013.
15. According to the survey, Shi Shuiqing, the director of ARI, told the investigating team that the fund for the infrastructure construction on the replacement land was available, and it was proposed to start the matching facilities construction, like experimental and working places, road, etc. in July 2015, and will finish by the end 2016. For the replacement land is 11km away from downtown, ARI proposed to build a cafeteria to provide a lunch for staffs, and the cafeteria management consists of partial personal capital and partial funds from ARI. For the staffs commuting, ARI provides a bus or transport subsidies.
