Summary

Summary of the Resettlement Action Plan

The total length of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou rapid railway turnk line is 287.087km,

with a total length of bridges as 137.673km. There are two newly built stations

and two rebuilt ones. The line passes through 100 villages in 22 towns of 9

counties/districts (among which, Shangyi County is only passed through by

tunnels, no impacts of land requisition) in Zhangjiakou, Wulanchabu and Hohhot

cities.

Huzhang Railway will install 4 stations (not including Zhangjiakou South

Station), including Huai’an, Wulanchabu, Zhuozi East and Hohhot East Station

among which Huai’an and Wulanchabu stations are newly built ones while the

rest are rebuilt. The land acquisition of the project has small impact on places

along the line for the following reasons: (1) The railway is a linear project, the

characteristics of which determine the small impact on places along the line; (2)

The proportion of bridges and tunnels takes up 63.8% of the total length, thus,

the amount of land acquisition is largely reduced; (3) The line should proceed

along mountain areas as possible, so the acquisition of cultivated land drastically

decreases; (4) The basic farmlands passing through by the line are mainly

distributed in Wan’an County and Huai’an County located in the both sides of

Dayang River, as well as Wulanchabu City and Hohhot City. In order to reduce the

occupation of basic farmlands, Huzhang Railway shall share common corridors

with existing transport channels as much as possible. (5) The site of railway

station must keep away from towns and concentrated residential areas. The line

should circumvent if it comes to urban residential communities. The land

occupied by the project shall be wastelands and reduce the requisition on

farmlands and forest lands.

The total number of affected households by the project is 1731 households, 5748

persons, among which 955 households’ (3090 persons) lands are requisitioned,

1078 households’ houses (3631 persons) are demolished, and 302 households

(973 persons) are impacted by demolition and land requisition. In terms of

composition percentage of affected population, Inner Mongolia Autonomous

Region is the province who is mostly impacted by the project. The number of

households impacted by land requisition is 58% of the total, and the number of

resettled households occupying 86% of the total.


Summary

955 households or 3090 persons are impacted by permanent land requisition

along the line. The total requisitioned land is 12449.6 mu (not including lands

used by existing railway lines), among which, 6145.7 mu farmlands (all

drylands), occupying 49.36% of the total requisitioned lands; 804 mu forest

lands, 6.46% of the total; 823.6 mu building base, 6.62% of the total; 224 mu

construction land use, 1.8% of the total; 234 mu other types of lands, 1.88% of

the total; 4218.3 mu wastelands, 33.88% of the total.

There are 1035 rural households (3498 persons) affected by demolition along

the line; The total demolished area is 281004 m2 , including 239301 m2 brick

concrete, 10344 m2 earth wood, and 17778 m2 other types of houses. There are

43 urban households (133 persons) affected by the demolition, the total

demolished area being 8426 m2. It is found out from the survey that the 43

urban households are all residents changing from rural residenceship into urban

residenceship, and their housing conditions and located areas being totally

similar with surrounding rural houses. Therefore, their houses are treated

samely with rural houses in terms of surveys, compensation standards and

resettlement plans.

The project also has impacts on 34 enterprises or public institutions. The total

area of demolished houses is 124052m2, including 5883m2 factory buildings,

28358.76m2 one-store houses, 5498m2 storied buildings, and 4312 m2 makeshifts,

occupying 191.51 m lands, 6729m fences, 10682 m2 Indurative ground and 11

wells. There are 1763 staff (indentured worker) and 10 temporary workers are

affected by the project. Apart from 326 staff in 4 enterprises whose fences are

demolished only, the number of affected staff is 1477. 7 enterprises are partially

demolished, among which 4 of them could run normally as before because only

their fences are demolished. Among the 34 enterprises, 16 of them prefer to

monetary compensation, while the rest 18 prefer to reconstruction.

The Foreign Capital Center of the Ministry of Railways has entrusted Wisdom

Management Consulting Co. ,Ltd to formulate the “Resettlement Action Plan”. The

plan received on-site data support from China Railway Engineering Consulting

Group Co., Ltd. The RAP covers socio-economic survey, resettlement impact

census and resettlement scheme planning, according to the final version of

feasibility study report in October 2011. The survey covers 22 towns and 100

affected villages, have a sample of 426 households (1303 persons), among them,

dict://key.0895DFE8DB67F9409DB285590D870EDD/Indurative%20ground

Summary

336 sample households affected by land requisition, 35.18% of the total number

of households affected by land requisition (955 households); 254 demolition

sample households, 23.56% of the total demolished households (1078

households). There are 164 households who are impacted by land requisition

and demolition, and 172 households are only affected by land requisition. The

survey group also learned about opinions and suggestions on the project from

the 426 sample households (mainly targeting the head of the household) by

means of questionnaires.

Compilation of the Resettlement Action Plan of this project and its

implementation will be carried out in strict accordance with policy documents

made by the Chinese government and the World Bank Operation policy OP4.12.

The implementation of resident resettlement shall strictly adhere to resettlement

compensation standards determined by this action plan and any change in the

course of implementation should win the agreement of the World Bank. China

has worked out complete legal framework and policy system concerning land

acquisition, house demolition, resident resettlement and compensation etc.

Hebei Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, in accordance with the

requirements of national laws and policies, have constituted local laws and

policies, including “Notice of Hebei Provincial People’s Government on Regional

Comprehensive Price of Land Requisition (Jizheng No.〔 2008〕 132)”, “On

Transferring the Notice of ‘Opinions of Five Departments including Provincial

Department of Labor and Social Security on Establishing Social Endowment

Insurance’ by Hebei Provincial People’s Government, February 17, 2005”, “Notice

of the General Office of People’s Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous

Region on Implementing a Unified Annual Production Value and Regional

Comprehensive Price of Land Requisition” (Neizhengbanfa No.〔2009〕129), and

“On Transferring the Notice of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security on

Guiding Opinions on Job Training and Social Security of Requisitioned Peasants

by the General Office of the State Council by the the General Office of the People’s

Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region”.

The total budget for compensations on land requisition and resettlement is

807.3592 million Yuan, including 621.2680 million Yuan of resettlement


dict://key.0895DFE8DB67F9409DB285590D870EDD/regional%20comprehensive%20price




Summary

compensation fees, 76.85% of the total investment; 18.63 million Yuan of

management fees, 2.31% of the total; 19.6046 million Yuan of social safeguard

fees, 2.43% of the total; 83.22 million Yuan of land occupation tax and land

development fees, 10.31 % of the total; 2.50 million Yuan of RAP formulation and

monitoring & evaluation fees, 0.31% of the total; 62.1268 million Yuan of

unforeseeable fees, 7.7% of the total.

With the village as the basic unit, each person shall have o.3 mu farmland, and

relevant restoration measures are formulated accordingly. If per capita farmland

is less than 0.3 m, multiple measures like monetary compensation, social

safeguard measures and training as well as employment recommendation shall

be implemented to ensure its income for living. If per capita farmland is more

than 0.3 mu (97 villages in total in the project), land adjustment shall be made for

resettlement. For the 97 villages choosing land reversion, after coordination

through organizing villagers’assembly, per capita farmland in 2 villages is 0.5 mu,

and the number keeps 1-1.5 mu in other 95 villages (per capita farmlands in

villages whose requisitioned lands are less than 10% before and after the

project). The farmland ownership can fully meet the demands of agricultural

production after the project.

The two affected provinces adheres to the market-oriented employment

mechanism. Through means of professional technical training, job

recommendation, development of comprehensive projects to encourage peasants

and herdsmen being employed, the two provinces have provided technical

support and employment opportunities for peasants whose lands are lessened or

lost totally.


the line. There are 43 urban households (133 persons) affected by the

demolition, who are all residents changing from rural residenceship into urban

residenceship, and their housing conditions and located areas being totally

similar with surrounding rural houses. Therefore, their houses are treated

samely with rural houses. The demolished households in Nandian Village of

Hohhot City and Chahaer Economic and Technical Development Zone of

Wulanchabu City prefer to local resettlement, with a compensation of new

houses. Other districts prefer to unconcentrated self-building resettlement.

Among the 34 enterprises affected by demolition, 18 prefers to reconstruction.


Summary

Following the willingness of enterprises, governments at the municipal, county,

township and village levels will give a support on site selection, reconstruction

and production restoration. Enterprises can, in accordance with the local

planning and self willingness, choose to have a new site in the local enterprise

zone or in the collective lands of the original township or village. Private

enterprises normally rent village’s collective lands, after obtaining compensation

fees; they could still rent rural collective lands in the original village or in other

areas. If the enterprises will not rebuild or open again, resettlement departments

and enterprises shall inform the staff 6 months before, so that the staff could find

another job. In addition, resettlement departments and enterprises shall provide

free training and help introduce new jobs for the staff. All in-kind loss of

enterprises, losses of enterprises and staff due to operation stop shall be

compensated after market evaluation.

The Ministry of Railways, the preparation group of Huzhang Railway Company,

provincial and prefecture governments, as well as resettlement office at different

levels shall be responsible for implementing and guiding the resettlement work

in the county and village level. Presently, part of local governments at different

levels along the line have set up the leading institutions for railway construction

for which of the government leaders will be responsible. The people in charge of

each part are the member of the institution. Development and Reform

Commission of governments at various levels in other regions, if without

corresponding institutions, should be in the charge of all related affairs during

preparation of this project. Once this project is initiated, local governments at all

levels will set railway support offices or similar institutions to cooperate and

support railway construction and resettlement.

The affected population should be informed of possible impacts at different

stages of this project and participate in negotiation. The stakeholders

participating in the negotiation include the heads of influenced household, the

village heads and villager representatives, departments of local governments and

the disadvantaged group. The information relating to acquisition and

resettlement has been broadcasting through public media such as newspaper,

broadcasting stations and public announcement etc and meetings at the level of

village to stimulate understanding and support of all communities/villages in the

project area. Along with the progress of the project, the influenced families will

also take part in the negotiation of Resettlement Action Plan and the activities of

resident resettlement including detailed measurement, determination of location

of flyover, selection of sites of new houses and appeals etc. In the process of

specific implementation of land acquisition and resettlement, the influenced


Summary

population and enterprises can lodge complaints to local administrative

departments, government institutions, project owner, external monitoring

institutions and courts concerning land acquisition, housing demolition,

compensation and resettlement. In addition, the influenced population will often

be provided with opportunities to discuss the issues involving compensation and

resettlement with the representatives of the organizations of all levels in charge

of implementing and managing the project through public meetings, hearing,

public negotiation and on-site survey etc.

The Preparation Group of the Ministry of Railways and Resettlement Offices of

local governments at all levels will jointly take the responsibility for granting the

compensation fee and internal monitoring and supervision on house

reconstruction, land acquisition and appealing of affected population. The

Ministry of Railways will prepare the quarterly resettlement monitoring reports

and submit them the World Bank until the resettlement is completed. After that,

the Ministry of Railways will submit the post-evaluation report to the World

Bank. What’s more, the Ministry of Railway will entrust an independent

monitoring institution to undertake the work of external monitoring and

assessment. External monitoring work includes base data survey, review and

approval of granting compensation fee, examining and approving resettlement

programs and implementation results, assessing appeal procedures and

feedback/satisfaction degree of the influenced population about the interests

and compensation, assessing the recovery of income of the influenced population

and learning lessons from it to help future resettlement. External monitoring

should submit monitoring and assessment report to the Ministry of Railway and

the World Bank every half year until the resettlement is completed.


Chapter 1 Overview

Chapter 1 Overview

1.1 Project Introduction

The Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway passes through Zhangjiakou City in

Hebei Province, and Wulanchabu and Hohhot City in Inner Mongolia

Autonomous Region. The line, from east to west, goes through four categories

five kinds of landforms, including Yanghe river valley, low-and-middle hills, basin

area of Huangqihai Lakes, low-and-middle mountains in Zhuozi, inclined plaints

in front of Daqingshan Mountain.

The total length of the trunk line is 287.087 km. There are 137.673 km bridges,

including 118 beam bridges of 137.673 km, 114 frame bridges of 18810 top

square meters, accounting 47.9% of the total length of the line. There are 27

tunnels, with a total length of 45.609 km, 15.9% of the total length of the line.

The length of bridges and tunnels accounts 63.8% of the line’s total length. The

length of subgrade is 103.805 km, 36.2% of the line’s length. There are also 171

culverts, 4189 linear meters.

There are 4 stations (not including Zhangjiakou South Station) installed along the

line, including Huai’an, Wulanchabu, Zhuozi East and Hohhot East Station among

which Huai’an and Wulanchabu stations are newly built ones while the rest are

rebuilt. Hohhot East Station is for passenger transport and the rest are

intermediate stations. The reconstruction of Hohhot Station shall be considered

as part of the project. The maximum station distance is 77.844km (from Zhuozi

East to Hohhot East) and the minimum is 47.878km (from Wulancahbu to Zhuozi

East), 57.553km on average. A new MU train workshop and coach kerbing

station shall be built in Hohhot East Station. Comprehensive repair workshops

shall be built in Wulanchabu, Zhuozi East and Hohhot East Station. A Maintence

site shall be installed in Huai’an station.

Chapter 1 Overview

interest during construction period is 1731.0182 million Yuan, 1280 million Yuan

for purchase of engines and coaches, and 34.4504 million Yuan of circulating

funds.

The project is co-funded by the Ministry of Railways and local government. The

project capital fund is 50% of the total investment. Local governments are

responsible for land requisition and demolition and corresponding fees in their

administrative regions. The expenses for land requisition and demolition shall be

raised by belonged cities and provinces and shall be regarded as local capital

funds to be counted as shares after recognized by all parties; the rest funds shall

be shouldered by the Ministry of Railways, by using railway construction fund

and self-possessed funds of railway enterprises. The other funds except capital

funds are to be borrowed from China Agricultural Bank, the State Development

Bank and Huaxia Bank.

Construction of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou rapid railway is of much significance to

strengthen the economic link between Inner Mongolia “hubaoe economic

circle”and Beijing and better involve in Beijing Two Hour economic circle, meet

demands of regional passenger transport and improve coal transport capacity of

“Sanxi”, construct a large-capacity freight corridor among Beijing, Baotou and

Lanzhou and meet the requirements of transport coals in West Inner Mongolia to

the outside, improve the rapid railway network in China and construct a rapid

railway transport in Northwest and North China, and strengthen the construction

of export port and build to be an international transport corridor.

1.2 Preparations for Resettlement Action Plan

The Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for the project is developed by the Foreign

Capital Center of the Ministry of Railways with assistances of Wisdom

Management Consulting Co. ,Ltd. According to the arrangement of the

Department of Planning of the Ministry of Railways, the China Railway

Engineering Consults Group Co., Ltd. (“CREC”) conducts formulation of feasibility

study report of the project.

With close coordinations from the design institution and Wisdom Management

Consulting Co. ,Ltd, the Foreign Capital Center of the Ministry of Railways begun

to prepare resettlement action plan as of June 2010, and the resettlement plan


Chapter 1 Overview

and social economic survey were completed from August to September 2010. In

October 2011, re-checking on impacts of resettlement is made according to the

final version of the feasiblity study report and the pre-evaluation report of RAP

will be submitted in November 2011.

1.3 Measures for Mitigating Project Impacts

1.3.1 Project Planning and Design Stage

Construction of the project will of course involve land acquisition, demolition and

resettlement, and at the same time, and the existing production and living

conditions of residents will unavoidably be impacted. In order to mitigate

impacts of the project construction on local social economy at planning and

design stage, the design organization and the owner has taken some effective

measures as follows:

A、The line should proceed along mountain areas as possible, so the

acquisition of cultivated land drastically decreases;

B、The basic farmlands passing through by the line are mainly distributed in

Wan’an County and Huai’an County located in the both sides of Dayang

River, as well as Wulanchabu City and Hohhot City. In order to reduce the

2.3 Social and Economic Survey

2.3.1 Overview

This section describes the socio-economic characteristics of the population who

may face possible land loss or property loss. This information comes from the

survey on in-kind indics and the socio-economic surveys in the feasibility study

phase.



2.3.2 On-site investigations in 2010

The investigation has been strongly supported by villagers and governments at

all during the investigation. The investigation is completed through collecting

data from the Bureau of Statistics, the National Development and Reform

Commission and other relevant local government departments, and through

holding informal discussions with local government officials. Detailed topics

include the future industrial development, railway route selection, the location of

the stations in the towns and villages, the setting of pedestrian access and

culverts, arable land reduction, especially farmland acquisition and house

demolition, and local economic development and poverty release. The

investigation on physical impact will be based on the feasibility study. The

investigation and statistics on agrarian Impact will be developed in a unit of

village. The survey of private residential buildings will take a household as a unit.

The survey on individually owned auxiliary facilities and trees will take a

household as a unit. The survey on public infrastructures and special projects

will take a unified organization as a unit.

Through the investigation,China Railway Consulting Group has considered the

local socio-economic development and environmental protection at the stage of

route selection, which reduced the relative quantity of requistioned lands and the

corresponding impacts. These findings have been fully reflected in the project

design and resettlement planning.

2.3.3 Socio-economic Survey on Affected Villages and Population

(2010)

In order to understand the basic living condition of the migrant families in the

project area and analyze the impacts on local immigrants, a random sample

survey has been made on the production and living conditions of the affected

families. The survey is made possible by comparing their similarities and

differences.

The affected migrant families under investigation are chosen randomly and

questionnaires and informal discussions are applied to the survey. The survey



group made social and economic surveys on 100 affected villages in 22 towns of

8 counties/districts (As Shangyi County are only passed through by tunnels, no

land requisition or demolition) in the three cities. The group made a sample of

426 households, (1303 persons), among them, 336 sample households affected

by land requisition, 35.18% of the total number of households affected by land

requisition (955 households); 254 demolition sample households, 23.56% of the

total demolished households (1078 households). There are 164 households who

are impacted by land requisition and demolition, and 172 households are only

affected by land requisition (See Table 2-2). It should be pointed out there are

1035 rural households affected by demolition. Meanwhile, there are 43 urban

households (133 persons) affected by the demolition. It is found out from the

survey that the 43 urban households are all residents changing from rural

residenceship into urban residenceship, and their housing conditions and located

areas being totally similar with surrounding rural houses. Therefore, their houses

are treated samely with rural houses in terms of surveys, compensation

standards and resettlement plans.

The survey group also learned about opinions and suggestions on the project

from the 426 sample households (mainly targeting the head of the household) by

means of questionnaires. They made a census on social and economic conditions

in all the 100 villages affected by the project; The impact value on in-kind indics

such as affected lands and houses has been calculated, through data

summarization as well as feasibility study and on-site investigation on routes

conducted by the design institute. The sample households cover all types of

affected households in all affected district, being representative and typical.

Methods of investigating the affected population, land, housing and auxiliary

facilities, scattered trees and special facilities: on-site division of county (city,

district), township (town, street) and village (neighborhood) is the basis of

ownership-division; the quantity of affected housing and subsidiary facilities are

gathered into the village level; make a survey on the number of households and

population affected by the demolished houses; gather information of lands into

the village (committee); gather information of special facilities into the county

(city, district) level.

2.4 Affected People's Socio-economic Characteristics

2.4.1 Overview

Data collected in the socio-economic surveys are analyzed under the framework

of livelihood and production of rural populations. The framework takes

considerations of the four following aspects:

A. Population conditions and affected degree: demographic statistics;

B. Production resources: mainly lands;

C. Basic conditions of production and living: income sources and conditions of affected population;

D. Affected minorities and the disadvangted group

2.4.2 Population conditions and affected degree

Along the line, the affected rural population in Hebei province occupies 93.67%

of the total, agricultural labor force being 53.50% of the total, the number of

requisitioned persons being 2.01% of the total, and the demolished population

being 0.85% of the total.

The affected rural population in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region occupies

91.84% of the total, agricultural labor force being.77% of the total, the number of

requisitioned persons being 2.68% of the total, and the demolished population

being 4.42% of the total.

The affected rural population along the line occupies 92.79% of the total,

agricultural labor force being. 61.73% of the total, the number of requisitioned

persons being 2.35% of the total, and the demolished population being 2.66% of

the total.

Generally speaking, either in Hebei province or Inner Mongolia Autonomous

Region, the percentage of affected rural populations to the total is higher than

90%, mainly rural population as the major composition. The percentage of

agricultural labor force to the total number in Inner Mongolia Autonomous

Region is 15.27% higher than the figure in Hebei Province. But to most of the

affected villages in the two provinces, agriculture is one of the major income



sources. The percentage of affected population to the total village population is

very low, the average value in the two provinces being less than 3%, only one

exception that the percentage being over 20% in Tuliang village of Yulin Town in

Hansai District of Hohhot City. The percentage of demolished population to the

total village population is also very low, 0.85% in Hebei province, 4.42% in Inner

Mongolia. There are two villages whose percentage are higher than 20%, 24.48%

in Jiuyaozi Village of Kongjiazhuang Town in Wanquan County of Zhangjiakou

City, and 83.36% in the Economic and Technical Development Zone in

Wulancahbu City (for station purpose). (See Table 2-3 and Annex 2 :Affected

2.4.3 Land requisition impacts

The surveyed peasants have planted 4831.92 mu dry lands in total. Almost 70%

of the surveyed households are engaged in livestock breeding, most of whom are

concentrated in Inner Mongolia. 40% of them plant cash crop, and 10% plant

fruit trees. It is found out from the survey that the surveyed peasants own a

relatively big land area, the biggest personal land volume reaching 86.67 mu, per

capita farmland being 5.35 mu. The per capita farmland area in over 99% of the

surveyed affected households is bigger than 0.3 mu, with one exception in three

households in Nandian Village of Haoqinying Town in Xincheng District of

Hohhot City. Generally speaking, the per capita farmland area of surveyed

households is relatively bigger, except 24 households with a per capita land area

lower than 1 mu, all the rest owning over 1 mu farmlands. Besides farmlands,

peasants also own other kinds of agricultural land (including sloping field, forest

and fruit fields)

Except the three villages with per capita farmland less than 0.3 mu, all the other

affected villages keep 5-10% lands not being allocated to peasants for the



purpose of flexibility. These lands will be cultivated by means of annual renting

contract, and can be allocated to requisitioned peasants if needed.

As the per capita farmland area of affected household is bigger, and the project

mainly conducts linear land requisition, therefore, there is no single households

whose lands are requisitioned totally.

2.4.4 Production and Living

2.4.4.1 Peasants’ income

Table 2-5 shows the income conditions of the affected 426 households. Generally,

the residents’ income distributions in the two provinces are much similar, with

the three levels from 800 Yuan to 5000 Yuan occupy the largest proportion,

nearly 90%. The percentage of households in absolute poverty line (less than 800

Yuan/person year) in Hebei is 2.96%, and 1.39% in Inner Mongolia. The

percentage of households with per capita annual income reaching 5000 Yuan is

about 10% in both provinces.

2.4.4.2 Income source

It is found out from the income source and level of the sample 426 households

(1303 persons) that in Hebei province, 62.82% households having employment

income, 50.85% having grain income, 20% having tree fruits and breeding

incomes, while incomes of trade and enterprises running are very low. The

percentages to the total income are listed from the highest to the lowest:

employment, grain, others, breeding, cash crop, enterprise running, commercial

trade, and tree fruit.

Compared with Hebei province, the percentage of breeding is raised to 55.92%,

the percentage of employment and grain being 63.38% and 52.63%. While

percentages of others, tree fruits, trade and enterprises running are decreased in

different extent. The percentages to the total income are listed from the highest

to the lowest: employment, grain, breeding, cash crop,others, commercial trade,

tree fruit, and enterprise running (see table 2-6).

2.4.5 Affected houses

About 90% of houses in the three districts/counties in Zhangjiakou City are older

than 10 years, with an area of 100 m2-300 m2 , most of houses are at the size of

200 m2 , with simple structures, little decoration and simple sanitary facilities.

About 85% of demolished houses in Hohhot were built before 1990, one-store,

larger than100 m2, and the area of large families with many members is even

larger than1000 m2, with simple structure, all kinds of facilities only meeting

basic demands, inferior sanitary facilities bad for health.

95% demolished houses in Wulancahbu are old brick ones, and 5% being simple

houses built with gravels. The house area is from 20 m2 to 280 m2, and 70% being

50 m2-100 m2. There are bad water, electricity facilities and toilets.

2.4.6 Affected enterprises

The project also conduct face-to-face interview. There are 34 affected enterprises

and public institutions, with demolished area of , including 5883m2 factory

buildings, 28358.76m2 one-store houses, 5498 m2 storied buildings, and 4312 m2

makeshifts, occupying 191.51 m lands, 6729m fences, 10682 m2 Indurative

ground and 11 wells. 7 enterprises are partially demolished, among which 4 of

them could run normally as before because only their fences are demolished. The

four enterprises are Suxin Alloy Company and Zhongtian Alloy Company in

Zhuozi County of Wulanchabu City, and Xingyong Carbon Company in Xinghe

County, as well as Hengtai Construction Material Marketplace in

Chahaeryoujiqianqi. There are 1763 staff (indentured worker) and 10 temporary

workers are affected by the project. Apart from 326 staff in 4 enterprises whose

fences are demolished only, the number of affected staff is 1477. Among the 34

enterprises, 16 of them prefer to monetary compensation, while the rest 18

prefer to reconstruction.

2.4.7 Disadvantaged group

The disadvantaged group mainly include the disabled, households enjoying five

guarantees, extreme poverty households and households with female as the

head. Table 2-7 lists the condition of the disadvantaged group. The disadvantaged






group scatters in different villages, with poverty households as the major one.

Among the 35 disadvantaged households, 4 households enjoying five

guarangtees, 3 households with the disabled, 25 extreme poverty households and

3 households with female as the head. All the disadvantaged group are little

affected (0.1-0.2 mu) by land requisition. 2 poverty households are affected by

demolition. The local governments have given special supports respectively to

them to help restore living and production, and at best improving their living

standard than before.

2.4.8 Affected minorities

There are 48 minority nationalities in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region，with

about 50 million minorities, 88 minority counties, including 4 million Mongolia

people, and 1 million of other minority nationalities, including 0.2 million Hui

and Manchu, 20 thousand population of Korea, Daur and Ewenki respectively,

and over 2 thousand of Xibo and Olunchun respectively. Minority nationalities of

Miao, Tujia, Uygurs, Yi, Buyi, Dong and Yao have only less than thousand persons

respectively. The social survey and assessment on land requisition show that the

minority nationality village and people have actively participated in relevant

activities of land requisition and resettlement plan, and their opinions are fully

reflected in the plan. The minorities enjoy the same rights with local Han

nationality by formulating proper RAP. The social survey conducted under the

project also proves that the resettlement activities are also adaptive to

minorities.

The on-site social survey show that the living habits, cultures and social features

of affected minorities in Zhangjiakou city have been converted to the Han

nationality.

The project has entrusted Central University for Nationalities to formulate the

Report of Social Evaluation with focus on surveys on minorities and development

plan. The details seen in the Social Evaluation Report of Zhanghu Rapid Railway

Project.

2.4.9 Affected female

Among the 426 surveyed households (1303 persons), female occupies 58% of

the total population. Most of the female work on the land, take care of children

and the elderly at home, and do some temporary jobs in slack seasons, like

needlework and construction. There are also some female working outside, but

they are not included in the survey as they are far from home. It is found out from

the survey that affected female can enjoy similar rights of participating in

domestic affairs and being employed.

3.2.1.2 Analysis to Permanent Land Acquisition

Hohhot-Zhangjiakou railway’s land acquisition has relatively small impact on the

areas along the line, The reasons are: (1) the railway is a line project, and the

characteristics of the project determine that there will be less impact on areas

along the line; (2) the proportion of the total length of bridge and tunnel is 63.8%

of the line length; therefore, land acquisition is greatly reduced; (3) line selection

is along the mountain area as far as possible, to avoid the plain area, greatly

reducing the amount of farming land acquisition; (4) location of the station

should try to avoid concentration areas of towns and residents; in case of urban

neighborhoods, the line should be changed. Nevertheless, the rural residents are

still affected most by the land acquisition of the Hohhot-Zhangjiakou railway

construction project, especially the rural residents where the railway station is

located. A total of 22 townships and 100 villages in 3 cities (counties) and 8

counties along the line are affected by land acquisition; the 22 townships and 38

villages are affected by the removal.

The project did not lead to any reduction of arable land per capita in any village

to 0.3 mu or less, but among the 100 villages involved in the project there are 3

villages whose per capita arable land is less than 0.3 mu before the project’s land

acquisition, respectively, Jiuyaozi Village and Xinyaozi Village, Kongjiazhuang

Town, Wanquan County, Zhangjiakou City, and Nandian Village, Haoqinying

Town, Xincheng District, Hohhot City (see Table 3-2).

Table 3-2 shows the 10 villages affected by the project, whose farming land

acquisition accounts for over 10% of the total arable land. Since the railway is

located in the north, arable land per capita in the northern villages is vast;

therefore there are only three villages whose arable land per capita is less than

0.3 mu among all the affected villages. Since the arable land per capita is greatly

affected, social security and the measures to promote employment including free

training will be adopted to guarantee their future life. There are another two

villages whose per capita arable land is between 0.5 mu and 1 mu; per capita

arable land of the remaining 95 villages affected in general is between 1 mu and

15 mu. The affected persons who need to work on agriculture in the 97 villages

still have arable land to meet the needs to continue farming, with little affecting

extent.

The project totally sets four stations (excluding Zhangjiakou South Station), in

which Huaian station and Ulan Qab station are new stations, Zhuozidong station

and Hohhot East Station are rebuilt. Two rebuilt stations mainly use the original

stations for rebuilding, without a lot of re-conversion, land acquisition and

demolition work, and so it is not severely affected. Huaian station and Ulan Qab

station are located in Taogou village, Dukoubao Township, Huaian County and

Economic Development Zone, Chahar Youyiqianti, Wulanbuch City, of which the

land acquisition of Taogou village is 32 mu, and the land acquisition is 9.73% of

the total arable land in the village, and the village's per capita land area turns

from 1.34 mu to 1.21 mu; the arable land acquisition of the Economic

Development Zone is 318.1 mu, the land acquisition is 0.49% of the total arable

land of the village, and per capita land area turns from 5.64 mu to 5.61 mu. It is

mainly due to rich amount of arable land per capita in the two villages, and

Taogou Village is little affected. So the arable land acquisition of the villages

where the two new stations are located is less than 10% of the total arable land

area.

3.2.2 Temporary Land

During the construction temporary expropriation of a number of land, is needed

mainly for the construction access roads, spoil games, bridge and tunnel

construction sites and so on. As special consideration in the design to reduce the

land acquisition impact on areas along the project, the temporary land should be

mainly wasteland, which accounts for 99.24% of the total amount of temporary

sites. Only 9 households were requisitioned 12.3 mu of land as temporary site.

95% of the temporary land is in Inner Mongolia. (Temporary sub-county land

statistics are shown in Table 3-3; sub-village statistics see Annex IV)

The survey shows that the 43 city evicted peasants are urban-rural residents; the

housing conditions and the location are completely the same as the rural housing

in the surrounding area, with identical properties. So the investigation in this

project, compensation criteria and resettlement program are the same as those

of rural housing programs are the same, without separate description.

This project does not involve the demolition of illegal buildings.

3.2.4 Project Affected Population

The impacted non-institutional households in the project are 1731, 5748 people,

of which 955 households are affected by land acquisition, 3090 people; 1078

households are affected by the demolition, 3631 people; 302 households are

affected by both, 973 people. According to the composition of the affected

population, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is the major land acquisition

3.2.6 Ground Attachments

In addition to housing, the project impacts the ground attachments as follows:

wall 36,169 meters, wells 29, cement dams 522 square meters, trees 1828,

hardened ground 19,667 square meters, 398 graves, 1 chimney (see Table 3 - 8).

Trees include the scattered trees in front of or behind the houses or on the fields,

or other trees planted on the acquired land that have to be cut or transplanted

due to land acquisition of project construction. Cement dams are mainly located

near the farmers' house, and hardened ground is within the jurisdiction of the

affected enterprises. Tombs to be relocated are sporadic individual graves and

will not affect the cemetery.

3.2.7 Special Facilities

Special facilities affected in the project are mainly power lines,

telecommunications lines and communication cables, water supply pipes and

rural roads, specifically as follows: diversion road 31313.11 meters, cable fiber

and optic cable diversion 1282.3 meters, 1 satellite TV ground broadcasting

station, 19 water supply pipe diversions, 174 poles. The infrastructure will be

protected or repaired in the construction. The special facilities affected by the

construction should be recovered by the construction agency, so the costs should

be included in the engineering costs and not included in the settlement budget.

The main special facilities’ affecting status is shown in Table 3-9.

3.2.8 Impact on Vulnerable Groups

According to the civil affairs department of the affected area, the five-guarantee

households, the disabled, the poor and the female-headed households and other

vulnerable groups are all included in the guaranteeing system, providing the

lowest monthly living allowance. The project involves four five-guarantee

households, three households with disabled persons, 25 poor households, and

three female-headed households. The vulnerable groups are mainly affected by

land acquisition, whose amount is between 0.1 to 0.2 mu; the per capita arable

land area is more than 1 mu. Speaking of the households in relation to land

requisition, they are poor for lack of strong labor in the family. With idle land, the

project's land acquisition does not have a negative impact on their production

life, and to some extent, increases their income and savings. Two poor

households are affected by demolition; since the compensation is in line with the

resettlement standard and Huaian County Government where the project lies

also say that if the house rebuilding of the two poor households has difficulty, the

Government will provide labor and capital to assist its complete reconstruction.

3.2.9 Impact on Women

According to social surveys of the project, women of the affected areas of the

project are commonly for the project construction and want a better life through

the project, including more convenient transportation, better housing and

employment environment.

As the project's land acquisition and resettlement compensation measures to



fully consider the interests of those affected and the subsequent reconstruction

of the affected women and their families will not be the result of land acquisition

and relocation projects live and a lower level.

Among 60% of the surveyed households there is at least one woman working

outside the home; the women staying at home are mainly responsible for

working on agriculture and taking care of their families, and engaging in some

temporary work during the slack time, such as crafts, construction sites and

other temporary work. Women surveyed say that they will support the project

construction and are willing to get engaged in the construction with a reasonable

settlement.

Construction of this project will contribute to the exchanges between women of

the project affected area and women in less developed regions of Inner Mongolia,

and develop local economy through the railway construction, and thus creating

career opportunities for women that cannot go out for work because they have to

stay at home and take care of the family.


Chapter 4 RAP Policy Framework


4.1 Resettlement Target

The resettlement target for the affected people of Huzhang Railway Line include:

I To take construction, technical and economic measures to avoid or

minimize land acquisition and structure demolition; When land

acquisition and demolition are unavoidable, to take effective

measures to minimize the impact on the production and lives of the

affected people;

II Conduct socioeconomic survey and compile a relevant resettlement

plan during the preparation stage;

III With resettlement, target demolished indics in kind and

compensation standards as the foundation, improve or at least

recover the standard of production and living of the affected people.

IV Initiate resettlement development. The resettlement of villagers is to

make use of land as the foundation, to suitably develop non farm for

creating more employment chances.

V Establish and improve the social security system of villagers affected

by land acquisition.

VI Encourage the resettlers participation in resettlement activities.

VII Prioritize resettling the resettlers within their original society.

4.2 Applicable Laws and Policies

4.2.1 Applicable Laws and Policies

The objectives of the Bank’s policy on involuntary resettlement：

The World Bank policies on involuntary resettlement are described clearly in

OP4. 12. The overall objectives of the Bank’s policy on involuntary resettlement

are the following:

• Involuntary resettlement will be avoided where feasible, or minimized,

exploring all viable alternative project designs.

• Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities will

be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs,

• Providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons

displaced by the project to share in project benefits.



• Displaced persons will be meaningfully consulted and will have

opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement

programs.

• Displaced persons will be assisted in their efforts to improve their

livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real

terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the

beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher.

Required measures to achieve the objectives

• The resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes

measures to ensure that the displaced persons are informed about their

options and rights pertaining to resettlement.

• The displaced persons are consulted on, offered choices among, and

provided with technically and economically feasible resettlement

alternatives.

• The displaced persons are provided prompt compensation at full

replacement cost for losses of assets attributable directly to the project.

• If the impacts include physical relocation, the resettlement plan or

resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the

displaced persons are provided assistance (such as moving allowances)

during relocation.

• The displaced persons are provided with residential housing, or housing

sites, or, as required, agricultural sites for which a combination of

productive potential, location advantages, and other factors is at least

equivalent to the advantages of the old site.

• Where necessary to achieve the objectives of the policy, the resettlement

plan or resettlement policy framework also include measures to ensure

that displaced persons are offered support after displacement, for a

transition period, based on a reasonable estimate of the time likely to be

needed to restore their livelihood and standards of living.

• The displaced persons are provided with development assistance such as

land preparation, credit facilities, training, or job opportunities.

• Particular attention is paid to the needs of vulnerable groups among

those displaced, especially those below the poverty line, the landless, the

elderly, women and children, indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities, or

other displaced persons who may not be protected through national land

compensation legislation.



• Preference will be given to land-based resettlement strategies for

displaced persons whose livelihoods are land-based. These strategies

may include resettlement on public land or on private land acquired or

purchased for resettlement. Whenever replacement land is offered,

resettlers are provided with land for which a combination of productive

potential, vocational advantages, and other factors is at least equivalent

to the advantages of the land taken. If land is not the preferred option of

the displaced persons, the provision of land would adversely affect the

sustainability of a park or protected area,16 or sufficient land is not

available at a reasonable price, non-land-based options built around

opportunities for employment or self-employment will be provided in

addition to cash compensation for land and other assets lost. The lack of

adequate land must be demonstrated and documented to the satisfaction

of the Bank.

• Payment of cash compensation for lost assets may be appropriate where

(a) livelihoods are land-based but the land taken for the project is a small

fraction17 of the affected asset and the residual is economically viable;

(b) active markets for land, housing, and labor exist, displaced persons

use such markets, and there is sufficient supply of land and housing; or

(c) livelihoods are not land-based. Cash compensation levels will be

sufficient to replace the lost land and other assets at full replacement

cost in local markets.

• Displaced persons and their communities, and any host communities

receiving them, are provided timely and relevant information, consulted

on resettlement options, and offered opportunities to participate in

planning, implementing, and monitoring resettlement. Appropriate and

accessible grievance mechanisms are established for these groups.

• In new resettlement sites or host communities, infrastructure and public

services are provided as necessary to improve, restore, or maintain

accessibility and levels of service for the displaced persons and host

communities. Alternative or similar resources are provided to

compensate for the loss of access to community resources (such as

fishing areas, grazing areas, fuel, or fodder).

• Patterns of community organization appropriate to the new

circumstances are based on choices made by the displaced persons. To

the extent possible, the existing social and cultural institutions of

resettlers and any host communities are preserved and resettlers’

preferences with respect to relocating in preexisting communities and



groups are honored.

• The benefits of the displaced persons will not be guaranteed without the

above measures

4.2.2 Domestic Legal Framework

The People’s Republic of China has formulated a complete set of legal and policy

framework regarding land acquisition, house demolition, and resettlement of

resettlers and standards of compensation. Since 1986 when “The People’s

Republic of China Land Administration Law” was promulgated, it has been

revised three times according to the changes of national conditions. The latest

revision was made on August 28, 2004 by the standing committee during the

11th conference in The Tenth National People’s Congress. Within the national

legal and policy framework, governments of every level respectively promulgated

and implemented relevant laws and policies that conform with the local

conditions to manage and guide the work of land acquisition, house demolition,

resettlement of resettlers and compensation. The two provinces where the line

goes through have formulated relevant local laws and policies to manage and

guide related work locally. Every prefecture level cities, county level cities,

districts, counties under the jurisdiction (region) have all implemented relevant

regulations from their provincial governments.

Land acquisition, demolition and resettlement of this project are to conform to

relevant regulations and implementation methods of the province (autonomous

region), as well as social safeguard policies of the World Bank and design

documents of the project (see in Annex 9). Major laws and policies include:

4.2.3 Relevant Legal Rules and Regulations

Laws and regulations regarding land requisition

The Land Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China set regulations on compensation of land requisition.

For requisition of land, compensation shall be given in accordance with the

original use of the requisitioned land. Compensation fee for the cultivated

land requisitioned include land compensation fee, subsidy for resettlement

as well as compensation fee for ground appendixes and young crops.

Land compensation fee for the cultivated land requisitioned shall be six to

ten times of the average annual output value in the three years prior to

requisition. Subsidy for resettlement for the cultivated land requisitioned

shall be calculated on the basis of the agricultural population that requires

resettlement. The agricultural population that requires resettlement shall

be calculated on the basis of the amount of cultivated land requisitioned

divided by the average per capita occupancy of cultivated land of the unit

requisitioned. The rate of subsidy for resettlement per head of the

agricultural population that requires resettlement shall be four to six times

of the average annual output value in the three years prior to requisition of

the said cultivated land. However, the maximum subsidy for resettlement

for cultivated land requisitioned per hectare shall not exceed fifteen times

of the average annual output value in the three years prior to the

requisition.

Additional subsidy for resettlement may be provided for those peasants

who require resettlement and cannot maintain their original living

standards on the basis of land compensation fee and subsidy for

resettlement the payment of which is effected pursuant to the provisions of

this Article subject to the approval of people's governments of the

provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the

Central Government. However, the total of land compensation fee and

subsidy for resettlement shall not exceed thirty times of the average annual

output value in the three years prior to requisition of the land.

The State Council may, in accordance with the level of socio-economic level,

increase the rate of land compensation fee and subsidy for requisitioned

farmlands.



In 2004, To further enforce land administration, the State Council of the

People’s Republic of China promulgated Decision on Intensive Reformation and

Strict Land Administration (No. 28) puts forward new requirements on

improvement of land requisition compensation.

Article 12 on Improving Method of Compensation for Land Acquisition is to

further improve requirements on compensation for land acquisition. Local

governments of county levels and above are to take practical measures so that

the living standards of villagers will not become lower because of land

acquisition. To ensure compensation for land, subsidies for resettlement,

compensation for auxiliaries and young crops are of the amount according to the

law and be paid promptly. Compensation for land and subsidies for resettlement

are to be paid according to the current legal regulations. In the case where the

living standards of the villagers cannot be maintained the same or the

compensations are not enough for the social security of the villagers who has lost

their land due to land acquisition, the local governments of provinces,

autonomous regions and municipalities are to approve the increment of

subsidies of resettlement. When compensation for land and subsidies for

resettlement are in the higher limit regulated by the law but still cannot maintain

the living standard of the villagers affected by land acquisition, the local

government can make use of the income from compensated use of state-owned

lands to subsidize. Local governments of provinces, autonomous regions and

municipalities are to formulate and publicize the standard of annual output value

of requisitioned land or the comprehensive price of land for the district.

Compensation for land acquisition is to be the same of the same types of land.

Key projects of the country must include full amounts of expenses for land

acquisition in their budgets. The compensation standard and method of

resettlement for construction of medium or big water conservancy and

hydropower works are to be individually regulated by the State Council.

To further enforce land administration, the State Council of the People’s Republic of

China promulgated Decision on Intensive Reformation and Strict Land

Administration also sets regulations on the procedure of resettlement and land

requisition, make a proper resettlement on peasants whose lands are

requisitioned. In addition, land requisition scheme shall be consulted with

peasants whose lands are requisitioned to protect their benefits. Article 13

regulates “appropriate resettlement of villagers affected by land acquisition”.

Local governments of above county level are to formulate specific methods so

that the livelihood of villagers affected by land acquisition can be guaranteed.

For projects with stable profits, villagers can become a shareholder of the legally

approved construction land-use right. Within urban planning districts, the local



governments are to place villagers who lost land due to land acquisition into the

employment system of the townships and establish a social security system; with

the exception of urban planning districts, the local governments are to leave

villagers necessary cultivated within the administrative district or arrange an

appropriate employment post when requisitioning collective land of the

villagers; resettlement will be the choice for villagers with no land and without

the basic production and living conditions. It also requires the “Labor and Social

Security Department and other relevant departments to jointly establish

employment training for villagers affected by land acquisition and provide

opinionated guidance on the social security system. Article 14 regulates for a

perfect land acquisition procedure. To safeguard the villagers' landholding rights

of collective land and the interest of villagers with operation rights on contracted

land. Before acquisition of land is submitted for approval, villagers must be

informed of the reasons for land acquisition: its uses, locations, compensation

standards and channels for resettlement; village collective economic

organization and village households must confirm the results of survey on the

current status of the land for acquisition; the Department of Land and Resources

will organize hearings according to relevant regulations when necessary.

Materials that are to be submitted for approval must be confirmed by the

villagers affected by land acquisition. To hasten the establishment and improve

the system for negotiation and arbitration of disputes with regards to

compensation of land acquisition and resettlement to safeguard the legal rights

of villagers affected by land acquisition. With the exception of special

circumstances, approved items for land acquisition are to be publicized. Article

15 regulates:" enforce supervision of the implementation of land acquisition.

Requisitioned land should not be used forcibly if compensation for land

acquisition and resettlement are not realized. Local governments of provinces,

autonomous regions and municipalities are to adhere to the principle of that land

compensation is mainly for villagers affected by land acquisition, and formulate

distribution methods within the economic organization of village collectives.

Economic organizations of affected village collectives are to publicize payments

and allocation conditions to members and accept their supervision. Agricultural

and Civil Administration Departments are to enforce supervision of the allocation

and use of compensation funds within the economic organizations of village

Chapter 5: Compensation Standard and Compensation Budget

Chapter 5: Compensation Standard and Compensation

Budget

5.1 Compensation Standard

5.1.1 Land Acquisition Compensation Standard

5.1.1.1 Permanent Land Acquisition Compensation Standard

It is stipulated in the Land Administration Law of People’s Republic of China that

permanent land acquisition compensation covers land compensation and

resettlement subsidiary. Land acquisition compensation is obtained by

multiplying 6 to 10 times of former three years of average agricultural yield.

Resettlement subsidiary multiple is dependent on the former average land per

capital before land acquisition, normally between 4 and 20 times. The

resettlement subsidiary multiple is small with more average farmland and less

farm population per mu of land. The resettlement subsidiary multiple is large

with less average farmland and more farm population per mu of land.

The average agricultural production value is calculated by the output of all crops

grown on the farmland in three years before land acquisition multiplying by the

average value of correspondent market current price, including value of straw,

the byproduct of crop.

According to the Notice on Implementation of Land Acquisition Block Price of the

People’s Government of Hebei Province (Hebei Government [2008] No. 132), for

the land acquisition of collective owned land according to law, the compensation

expense of land shall be calculated by the block price of the land acquisition

multiplying by area of land. The unused land in mountainous area and on dams is

implemented by 60% of the land acquisition block price. Any unit or individual

cannot raise or reduce the compensation standard arbitrarily.

According to the Notice on Implementation of Uniform Annual Production Value

Standard of Land Acquisition and the Comprehensive Land Price of Land

Acquisition Block in the Autonomous Region of the People’s Government of Inner

Mongolia Autonomous Region (Inner Mongolia Government [2009] No. 129). And

the Forwarding of the Notice on Implementation of Uniform Annual Production

Value Standard of Land Acquisition and the Comprehensive Land Price of Land

Acquisition Block in the Autonomous Region of the People’s Government of Inner

Mongolia Autonomous Region (Ministry of Land and Resources in Hohhot General

Document【2010】No. 26), the new land acquisition compensation standard is the

comprehensive compensation standard of acquisition of collective owned land. It



is composed by the land compensation and resettlement compensation (not

including crop compensation or compensation for objects attached to land). Each

district can properly adjust the compensation standard according to the actual

situation of the district in the implementation process, but it cannot be lower

than the standard published by the Autonomous Region. The occupation of basic

farmland shall be compensated according to the highest standard in the district.

The use of state owned land shall be implemented according to standard

published this time. The compensation standard for crops and objects attached

to land is determined and implemented by each district according to its actual

situation. Items otherwise specified shall conform to the special regulations.

There is no division of category in the acquisition of collective owned land in the

compensation standard of land acquisition in both Hebei Province and Inner

Mongolia Autonomous Region and only government of Hebei Province points out

that “The unused land in mountainous area and on dams is implemented by 60%

of the land acquisition block price”. Therefore the above-mentioned

compensation price is the comprehensive compensation standard of acquisition

of all collective owned land. According to the above-mentioned documents, see

Table 5-1, 5-2 and 5-3 for the concrete land compensation standards in three

cities along the Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Railway line.

Mongolia）

The land acquisition standard is determined on the basis of the Notice on

Implementation of Land Acquisition Block Price of the People’s Government of

Hebei Province (Hebei Government [2008] No. 132) in Hebei Province. The

average block price in the high-tech zone in Zhangjiakou is 56186 yuan/mu,

29253 yuan/mu in Wanquan County and 30452 yuan/mu in Huaian County.

The land acquisition standard is determined on the basis of the Notice on

Implementation of Uniform Annual Production Value Standard of Land Acquisition

and the Comprehensive Land Price of Land Acquisition Block in the Autonomous

Region of the People’s Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (Inner

Mongolia Government [2009] No. 129) in Hohhot and Ulan Qab Xinghe County.

The average block price in Hohhot is 36703.91 yuan/mu and 2880 yuan/mu in

Huaian County.

The land acquisition compensation standard in Chahar Right Front Banner, Ulan



Qab is implemented in reference to the Inner Mongolia Industrial and

Commercial Bureau [2008] No. 15 document: Implementation Rules for the

Resettlement Compensation for Acquisition of Rural Collective Owned Land in

Industrial Zone in Chahar, Inner Mongolia. It means that the land acquisition

compensation (including the land acquisition compensation fees and

Resettlement fees) is 6000 yuan/mu, the irrigated land 9000 yuan/mu and

forestland 3000 yuan/mu.

The government of Zhuozi County refers to the local reality, determines the land

acquisition standard as the irrigable land 28000 yuan/acre, dry land 15000

yuan/mu, forestland/grassland 6000 yuan/mu.

The land acquisition compensation standard involved in this project will conform

to regulation “each district shall establish the dynamic adjustment mechanism of

land acquisition compensation standard to adjust the land acquisition

compensation standard in every two to three years and gradually enhance the

land acquisition compensation level according to the economic development

level, growth rate of local average income etc.” It is regulated in the Notice on

Further Do the Land Acquisition Management Work Well of the Ministry of Land

and Resources (June 26, 2010).

The land acquisition compensation standard meets the World Bank requirement

that the immigrant’s property losses caused by land acquisition shall be totally

compensated, to ensure that the living standard of impacted farmers will not

reduce after the land acquisition, and that their life and production are

recovered. The following argument is measured with the local annual production

value as standard. The annual production value does not exclude the labor force

and cost of agricultural means of production. Generally speaking, the agricultural

pure income of land impacted in this project is 30% of the annual production

value.

To do the land acquisition work well, maintain the awful rights and interests of

farmers whose land is acquired, ensure the living standard of farmers whose land

is acquired will not reduce and ensure their long-term livelihood, the government

of Hebei Province has regulated the land acquisition block price standard

according to principle of “the same land, the same price”. The regulation is on the

basis of the Decision on Deepening Reform and Strict Land Management of the

State Council (State Published [2004] No. 28). The land acquisition in this project

is compensated according to this block price standard, which is higher than the

original basis of calculation of annual production value and can reflect the price

difference of land due to position difference of land.

The annual production value in new urban area of Hohhot in Inner Mongolia



Autonomous Region is 366.39 yuan/mu. The land acquisition compensation and

resettlement fee is calculated by 16 times, and the total compensation for each

mu of land is 5862.24 yuan. In the land acquisition compensation in this project,

the land in Hohhot is compensated according to the block price, and the

comprehensive block price of 36703.91 yuan/mu is more than 6 times of the

compensation standard of 5862.24 yuan/mu that is estimated according to the

annual production value.

The annual production value in Zhuozi County, Ulan Qab is 398.85 yuan/mu, and

the land acquisition compensation and resettlement fee, calculated by 16 times,

is 6384 yuan/acre. In combination with the financial ability of the local

government and in consideration of the benefits of people impacted in this

project, the compensation standard in this project is 15000 yuan/mu for dry

land, and 28000 yuan/mu for irrigated land.

The annual production value of dry land in Chahar Right Front Banner is 369.88

yuan/acre and the land acquisition compensation and resettlement fee,

calculated by 16 times, is 5920 yuan/acre. Therefore, the current compensation

standard in Chahar Right Front Banner conforms to the local annual production

value.

Lands in Xinghe County are all dry and barren lands, with annual production

value 180 yuan/mu, and the land acquisition compensation and resettlement fee,

calculated by 16 times, is 2880 yuan/mu, which conforms to the condition of the

local annual production value.

5.1.1.2 Compensation Standard for Temporary Site

The railway project will temporarily occupy some land for station road, material

storage, construction camp, soil borrow and abandon, or project construction.

The temporary site will be occupied by the large scale infrastructure project for

one to two years. Temporary site occupation fee will be paid to the land owner or

land user (the collective or the individual). When necessary, the disadvantageous

group whose land is occupied will get special help. When the temporary site is

farmland, the farmer will be compensated in years according to the annual loss of

agricultural yield. There is one-time compensation for the waste land, which is

paid to the village collective. The land recovered for farming will be returned to

the land owner when the project is completed, or the land owner will be equally

paid. Compensation for temporary site is dependent on the type of land and time.

It shall be discussed with the construction organization and the local

government.

The temporary acquired land compensation standard in Hebei Province is



implemented in reference to the Assignment of Meeting Minutes of Coordination

on Temporary Acquired Land along the Middle Line of South-to-North Water

Diversion in Hebei Province of South-to-North water diversion Project Construction

Committee of Hebei Province (Hebei Water Diversion [2009] No, 8). The food

crops are compensated by 1000 yuan/mu/year, vegetables and cash crops by

1894 yuan/mu/year.

The temporary land compensation standard in Inner Mongolia Autonomous

Region is on the basis of the average annual production value of the occupied

land categories. The time of compensation is same as the time of land occupation.

According to the Meeting Minutes about the Research of Temporary Land

Compensation Standard in Changhu Gas Pipeline Multiline Project (Meeting

Minute 【2011】No. 2) of the government of Hohhot city, the temporary land

compensation is 6500 yuan/mu/year for farmland and 6000 yuan/mu/year for

other types of lands.

The temporary land compensation in three counties under Ulan Qab is on the

basis of the standard of crop compensation, that is 180.00 yuan/acre/year in

Xinghe County, 369.88 yuan/mu/year in Chahar Right Front Banner and 398.85

yuan/mu/year in Zhuozi County (see Table 5-4). Since lands in the above-

mentioned three counties are barren and low productive categories, the annual

production value is much lower in comparison with other areas.

5.1.1.3 Crop compensation standard

The crop compensation is on the basis of the production value per acre of land

categories and impacted times of crop, see Table 5-5 and 5-6 for details. The crop

compensation in Hebei Zhangjiakou and Inner Mongolia Hohhot is determined



on the basis of crop compensation standards in the key projects in recent years in

these areas. The crop compensation is 1000 yuan/mu/year for land of food crops

and 1894 yuan/mu/year for land of vegetables and cash crops in Zhangjiakou.

The crop compensation standard in Hohhot is 1000 yuan/mu/year. The crop

compensation standard in Ulan Qab is on the basis of the Inner Mongolia

Government Document [2009] No. 129 the Uniform Annual Production Value

Standard, among which it is 180.00 yuan/mu/year in Xinghe County, 369.88

yuan/mu/year in Chahar Right Front Banner and 398.85 yuan/mu/year in

Zhuozi County. The main reason for that the crop compensation standards in

three counties under Ulan Qab are much lower in comparison with other areas is

the barren land.

5.1.2 Compensation Standards for Housing Demolition and

Accessory Objects on Ground

5.1.2.1 Housing Demolition Compensation Standard

There are totally 1035 households, 3498 people impacted by the rural demolition

along the whole railway line, 43 households, 133 people in the urban demolition.

Through survey, we find that these 43 households are urban residents changed

from rural residents in the urban-rural integration area, and their room

conditions and locations are totally same as the nearby farm houses. Therefore

the compensation standards and resettlement program in this project for them

are same as that for rural houses, and the rural demolition will not be specified

individually.

In Zhangjiakou, the resettlement is mainly through means of cash compensation

and form of uniformly planning and self-construction. The compensation

standard for rural housing demolition is determined on the basis of the location,

application, building area, floor area, building structure, orientation, supporting

facilities, decoration and other factors of the houses to be demolished according

to the estimated real estate market price (see Table 5-6).

In Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, according to the Collective Owned Land

Compensation and Resettlement Procedures in Hohhot City (Hohhot Government

Published【2010】No. 15), the brick and concrete structure is compensated by

760 yuan/m2, brick and wood structure 700 yuan/m2 and civil structure 620

yuan/m2 in Saihan District, Hohhot. In the new urban are, according to the

“Urban Village” Reconstruction Implementation Program of Nandian Village

published by the People’s Government of New Urban Area, the brick and

concrete, brick and wood structures are compensated by 1050 yuan/m2, and civil

structure 1030 yuan/m2. The houses to be demolished in Xinghe County, Ulan

Qab involved in this project are mainly brick and concrete, brick and wood

structures, which are compensated by 900 yuan/m2. In the economic

development zone in Nandian Village, Hohhot and Chahar Right Front Banner,

Ulan Qab, all demolition households show willingness to choose the housing-

return resettlement in the demolition resettlement (see Table 6.3.1). For some

demolition households who are unwilling to change their houses into storied

houses, the cash compensation can be implemented. The compensation standard

is determined according to the current market estimated price. In the concrete

estimation process, the brick and concrete structure is generally compensated by

about 1000 yuan/m2.

Since the house price changes a lot with market fluctuation, to better protect the



profits of the demolition households, the compensation is based on the latest

compensation price in concrete implementation of housing demolition.

Housing replacement cost: according to on-site survey, the housing construction

cost in Hebei Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is basically same.



The construction cost of rough house is 504 yuan/m2 (see Table 5-7). Since all 43

urban demolition households impacted in this project are urban residents

changed from rural residents in the urban-rural integration area, and their room

conditions and locations are totally same as the nearby farm houses, the

reconstruction cost is same as that of farm house.

Reconstruction cost estimation of brick and concrete structure houses: the

marker price of red brick is 0.25 yuan/block, reference dosage for each square is

meter 140-225 blocks and the cost for each square meter is 56.25 yuan. The

marker price of cement is 380 yuan/ton, reference dosage for each square is

meter 160-320kg and the cost for each square meter is 121.6 yuan. The marker

price of steel material is 5200 yuan/ton, reference dosage for each square is

meter 22-30kg and the cost for each square meter is 114.4-156 yuan. Besides the

above-mentioned main materials, the average cost for plasters on inner and

outer walls, roofs, floors, stairs, ground leveling, pipeline and other constructions

is about 150 yuan/m2, and the labor cost is 10-20 yuan/m2. Estimated by the

high value of both the reference dosage and labor per each square meter of the

above-mentioned materials, the cost of brick and concrete house is 504 yuan/m2.

In the construction of rural houses, the materials usually don’t reach the highest

dosage. At the same time, the construction problem is usually solved through

mutual help with construction work. Therefore, the construction of some houses

is dozens even one hundred yuan lower than the estimated 504 yuan/m2 in

practice.

According to the above-mentioned estimation, in combination with the housing

demolition standard in this project, the compensation standard of brick and

concrete structure is 760-2000 yuan/m2, the brick and wood structure 700-1050

yuan/ m2 and civil structure 620 yuan/m2. Therefore, the demolition

compensation in this project can totally meet the housing reconstruction

requirements of the demolition households, and can help the demolition

households with original poorer housing structures to upgrade the house

structure and improve the living conditions.

5.1.2.2 Compensation Standard of Demolition of Enterprise and Public

Institutions

The enterprise demolition compensation resettlement includes two types: cash

compensation and the method of resettlement industrial land property exchange

according to the enterprise’ willingness. All demolition areas of enterprise and

public institution involved in this project are compensated after the market

estimation of qualified assessment company conducts on enterprise and public

institution to be demolished.

Principles of compensation for enterprise demolition:

The leased demolition household land is compensated by the current basic

price of industrial land. In the impacted enterprises in this project, totally 16

choose the cash resettlement without reconstruction, among which 4 are

only impacted on the enclosing wall without impact on the normal operation,

and the rest 12 are small-size individual and private enterprises. Their lands

are leased from others or the collective owned lands, and this part of rental

losses are included in the scope of housing demolition compensation by the

assessment agency. For the 18 enterprises and public institutions who

choose the reconstruction, the reconstruction resettlement will be conducted

in form of resettlement industrial land property exchange, no referring to

cash compensation of lands.

The building compensation of the demolition households: the permanent

buildings (structures) are estimated by assessment agency according to

resettlement cost method, to assess and estimate the value, determine the

compensation.

The machinery equipments and other supporting equipments of the

demolition households are estimated by assessment agency according to

resettlement cost method, to estimate the assessed value of the machinery

equipment. For the unmovable machinery equipments and other supporting

equipments of the demolition households are, the compensation is

determined according to the assessed value, and for movable machinery

equipments and other supporting equipments of the demolition households,

the remove compensation is determined according to the assessment.

For the crops on earth, the compensation and remove compensation are

determined according to the assessment.

For production halts or closedown of the demolition households caused by

the demolition, personnel who conduct the demolition shall make certain

compensation for people who suffer closedown according to the number of



workers (including temporary workers) registered in the municipal/ county

labor and social security sections by the demolition households and on the

basis of local reality. Generally, the compensation is based on the lowest local

salary standard multiplying by number of month of closedown. The

demolition households who suffer production halts or closedown are

compensated according to the time of monthly average after-tax profits in

the year with largest profits recorded by the tax department in three years

before the demolition. The compensation for removal of plant and office

buildings is carried out according to local realities.

The concrete procedures of the enterprise demolition assessment:

According to the “Urban Housing Demolition Assessment Guidance”, the

assessment procedures of the enterprise demolition in this project are regulated

as follows:

Field investigation procedure: The assessment agency assigns the real estate

assessor who has acquired the “registration card of real estate assessor” and has

location in city or region and other places, distance from the location to

important places such as downtown, airport, port, station, government offices,

trade discount and others, the surrounding environment, landscapes and others),

the area, dosage, floor, orientation, market demand and supply and other related

information. The assessor, people to conduct the demolition and demolition

households shall sign to authorize.

5.1.3 Compensation Standards for Infrastructure and Special

Establishment

The scope of influence shall involve some infrastructures like roads and public

works. As proprietors require contractors in the project construction contract to

provide temporary protection facilities in the period of construction and recover

all facilities damaged during this period, the cost of recovery shall be involved in

the project construction contract. The detailed compensation standard shall be

made by means of “one project one discussion” which is conducted by local

government through coordination with construction units. So there are no

compensation standards for infrastructure and special establishment in this

project.

5.2 Estimate of Compensation Cost for Immigration

The compensation cost of immigration mainly involves the following items:

Resettlement compensation (involving Land acquisition compensation fee,

compensations of green crops and scattered trees, compensations of houses and

attachments, transaction expense for demolition households, removal costs,

construction costs of rural immigrant resettlement centers, demolition

compensation for disadvantaged groups, and compensation for the removal of

enterprise); For urban demolition which requires compensation after market

evaluation, the demolition unit price shall be defined according to on-site survey

estimate and the local latest demolition policies. The unit price of demolished

enterprises and public institutions shall be 130% of that of the urban residents.

Infrastructure recovery costs: List into engineering costs but not the gross

cost of immigration;

Technical training costs: Mostly directed to the employment training of

affected farmers and increasing the skills of farmers in other non-major

immigrant villages. The sum of the cost is estimated on the basis of the content,

duration of training and the number of trainees. The costs will be estimated in

Chapter 6 with tables. And the percentage to direct expenses.

Costs of implementation and management calculated by 3 of the total costs of

resettlement compensation and temporary site, the cost is mainly directed to the

expenses of houses, equipment, salary, office costs and traveling allowance.

Expenses of immigration plan formulation and resettlement evaluation is

directed to the expenses of immigration plan formulation and the costs of



resettlement evaluation work made by exterior supervision and evaluation

institutions during the implementation of immigration resettlement.

Unpredictable expenses calculated by 10% of the total costs of resettlement

compensation and temporary site, the cost is mainly directed to the institution in

charge of resettlement to solve unpredictable problems and improve the

conditions of the immigrants.

The total budget for compensations on land requisition and resettlement is

807.3592 million Yuan, including 621.2680 million Yuan of resettlement

compensation fees, 76.85% of the total investment; 18.63 million Yuan of

management fees, 2.31% of the total; 19.6046 million Yuan of social safeguard

fees, 2.43% of the total; 83.22 million Yuan of land occupation tax and land

development fees, 10.31 % of the total; 2.50 million Yuan of RAP formulation and

monitoring & evaluation fees, 0.31% of the total; 62.1268 million Yuan of

unforeseeable fees, 7.7% of the total（Detail in Table 5-12 and Table 5-13)..

Chapter 6 Resettlement and Livelihood Development


Implementation of RAP of Huzhang railway project is the responsibilities of the

local governments, with support from the MOR and technical support from the

two design institutes. Based on extensive investigation on resettlement impacts,

explore proper livelihood and household development schemes in line with

domestic regulations and WB resettlement policies.

The total length of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou rapid railway turnk line is 287.087km,

with a total length of bridges as 137.673km. There are two newly built stations

and two rebuilt ones.

955 households or 3090 persons are impacted by permanent land requisition

along the line. The total requisitioned land is 12449.6 mu (not including lands

used by existing railway lines), among which, 6145.7 mu farmlands (all

drylands), occupying 49.36% of the total requisitioned lands; 804 mu forest

lands, 6.46% of the total; 823.6 mu building base, 6.62% of the total; 224 mu

construction land use, 1.8% of the total; 234 mu other types of lands, 1.88% of

the total; 4218.3 mu wastelands, 33.88% of the total.


the line; The total demolished area is 281004 m2 , including 239301 m2 brick

concrete, 10344 m2 earth wood, and 17778 m2 other types of houses.

The demolition affects a total of 43 urban households, 133 people, 8426 m2.

Among them, Ulan Qab Xinghe county town residents 31 households, 95 people,

2780 m2; Hohhot City 12 households, 38 people, 5646 m2.

The project also has impacts on 34 enterprises or public institutions. The total

area of demolished houses is 124052m2, including 5883m2 factory buildings,

28358.76m2 one-store houses, 5498m2 storied buildings, and 4312 m2 makeshifts,

occupying 191.51 m lands, 6729m fences, 10682 m2 Indurative ground and 11

wells. There are 1763 staff (indentured worker) and 10 temporary workers are

affected by the project. Apart from 326 staff in 4 enterprises whose fences are

demolished only, the number of affected staff is 1477.

6.1 General Principles

The general target of this resettlement plan is to provide adequate livelihood and

household development measures in order to ensure their living standard to be

restored to that at least as without project.

The overall principle of the project’s resettlement plan is to relocate the

households in their original communities, promote land based resettlement and

make the affected farmers have stable income from agriculture, enlarge non farm





industry to restore and improve their living standard and further maintain

sustainable development of the resettlement areas, through respecting local

customs of production and life style and fully consulting with the affected. The

specific principles of the Resettlement Plan are as follows:

Villagers self-governance principle. In line of the self-governance principle

defined under the Villager Committee Organization Law, detailed villagewise

planning will be carried out within the the broad schemes of compensation and

livelihood restoration/development based on general experiences and initial

round of consultations carried out during the socioeconomic survey. The

detailed planning will be organized by the village committees, discussed and

decided in the village councils. The package will cover all village members and

would make sure that all project affected households will get their equal share of

the resources through one or a combination of several options for the purpose of

achieving livelihood restoration. The village committees will be responsible for

organizing the implementation of the agreed livelihood measures. The

governments at township and county level, including the project resettlement

offices, will advise the planning process with technical input to guide, and

monitor its implementation.

The resettlement plan is implemented based on acquisitioned and demolished

material object indexes and compensation and subsidies of land acquisition and

demolition.

Resettlement is integrated with regional construction, development of resources

and economy as well as protection of environment. Based on their practical

condition, regulate tailored strategies to rehabilitate, develop the production and

lives of the resettlers, and create necessary conditions for their self development.

The layout of the plan is according to the principle of “beneficial to production,

convenient living”. All construction structures, including residences that are to

be demolished, are to be followed with the principle of "demolished, rebuild".

Affected people will receive new residential plots within their own village or

neighborhood committees. Demolition will not take place unless housing plans

are confirmed.

The principle is to reconstruct structures according to the scale and standards of

the demolished ones. The integration of regional development, expansion,

elevation of standards and future planning of needed investments are to be

resolved by the local governments and relevant departments. During the process

of rebuilding and relocating, farmers will be closely attended by their respective



village committees, local governments and County Railway Construction Support

Offices.

Give full and overall consideration to and correctly handle relations between the

State, collectives and individuals.

Adopt integration methods of compensation, subsidies and production support,

and make full use of the advantages of the natural resources, to gradually enable

resettlers to attain or surpass their original production and living standard.

Households managed by women will have similar chances and rights to rebuild

new houses as households managed by men. It is illegal to discriminate, deprive

of rights and reduce the area of houses of households managed by women. Make

use of resources (funds and labors) to ensure the satisfaction of households

managed by women so that they can have an appropriate new place of residence.

6.2 Recovery Planning for Production and Life of Landless

Villagers

The recovery of production and life of affected villages and households mainly

covers four kinds of recovery and development measures for production and life

in all to promote employment, including land adjustment, monetary

compensation, social security program and training.

6.2.1 Analysis of Land Acquisition Impact

Based on the statistics and analysis of field data of land acquisition impact of this

project, there are totally 10 villages whose arable area acquired in this project

takes up above 10% of total local arable area (see details in Table 3-2). This

project does not result in per capita arable land of any village reduced to below

0.3 mu. Yet per capita arable land of 3 villages amongst 100 villages involved in

this project has been lower than 0.3 mu before land acquisition (see details in

Table 6-1), including Old Yaozi Village and New Yaozi Village in Kongjiazhuang

Town, Wanquan County, Zhangjiakou City and Nandian Village in Haoqinying

Town, Xincheng District, Hohhot City.

Since most regions passed by this project possess sufficient per capita arable

land, the source of income of villages whose per capita arable land is reduced to

below 0.3 mu after land acquisition can be guaranteed through monetary

compensation, social security, recommended employment through training and

many other measures. Since villages whose per capita arable land is above 0.3

mu possess broad original per capita arable land and small linear project land

acquisition, their relocation can be resolved mainly through land adjustment.

6.2.2 Land Adjustment

Except 3 villages whose per capita arable land is below 0.3 mu before land

acquisition, there are 2 villages whose per capita arable land is below 1 mu

before land acquisition, including Maqiao Village in Chengguan Town, Xinghe

County and Zhangjiabo Village in Zhuozishan Town, Zhuozi County, Ulan Qab City.

97 villages whose per capita arable land is above 0.3 mu agree to adopt land

adjustment to adjust and allocate land after land acquisition through holding

villagers’ congress or villagers’ meeting. Detailed land adjustment program is as

follows:

Though Villager Committee and upon villagers’ intention, land adjustment is

selected to carry out land acquisition relocation. Specific enforcement method is:

adjust land according to group, work out current per capita arable land after

deducting acquired area, then divide or complement land among households

according to this standard and finally achieve average land division. Since the

project location is in the north with rich per capita land resource, per capita

arable land of all 95 villages can reach above 1 mu after land adjustment.

Subsequent production and life of affected households living on land will not be

influenced by land acquisition in this project.

Allocation of compensation for land acquisition after land adjustment: make

monetary compensation for acquired collective land according to local land



acquisition compensation standard, including land compensation and relocation

subsidy. Since affected villages will adopt land adjustment according to group,

land compensation and relocation subsidy will be allocated to affected groups

according to the quantity of acquired land, and then averagely allocated to each

household within jurisdiction. Compensation for young crops will be directly

paid to direct affected people.

Upon the calculation of per capita arable land after land acquisition in severely

affected villages in this project in Table 3-2, it is thus clear that per capita arable

land of 5 villages has reached above 1 mu through the consultation of villagers’

meeting. Except 3 villages whose per capita arable land is below 0.3 mu before

land acquisition, there are 2 villages whose per capita arable land is below 1 mu

after land acquisition, including Maqiao Village in Chengguan Town, Xinghe

County and Zhangjiabo Village in Zhuozishan Town, Zhuozi County, Ulan Qab City.

Per capita arable land of these two villages is about above 0.5 mu after land

acquisition.

Thus among 97 villages adopting land adjustment, per capita arable land of 2

villages is below 0.5 mu and that of rest 95 villages is 1~15 mu (see detailed in

Appendix 7) through consultation of villagers’ meeting. Their land possession

can fully meet farmers’ demand for subsequent agricultural production.

6.2.3 Monetary Compensation

Among affected villages in this project, 3 of them do not make land adjustment

but adopt monetary compensation and social security program, including Old

Yaozi Village and New Yaozi Village in Kongjiazhuang Town, Wanquan County,

Zhangjiakou City and Nandian Village in Haoqinying Town, Xincheng District and

Hohhot City. Direct economic loss caused by land acquisition of affected farmers

in these 3 villages will be made up through obtaining monetary compensation

and their subsequent source of income will be guaranteed through social security

program.

Monetary compensation for land acquisition in this project is calculated

according to the area price of acquired land (see details in Table 5-1, 5-2 and 5-3)

multiplied by the area of acquired land. See detailed discussion of the

compensability of monetary compensation standard for land acquisition to the

loss of farmers in 5.1.1.

For the allocation of land compensation, 20% belongs to collective economic

organization and 80% belongs to the owner of land use right of acquired land or

farmers that contract land according to household contract. All compensation for

young crops and attachments is directly made up for affected people.



Compensation for unused land in mountain area and on dam is executed

according to 60% of the area price of land acquisition. Compensation for

acquired land without the owner of land use right, non-contracted land of

collective economic organization and contracted land according to other methods

all belongs to collective economic organization, which shall be allocated or used

by collective economic organization according to law. Land compensation shall

be timely paid in full. No organization or individual can hold back or embezzle it.

Basic allocation, payment and use condition of monetary compensation for land

acquisition in this project are as follows:

1) Reach uniform decision on land compensation through villagers’ meeting;

2) Publicize each household’s land loss and compensation plan in village;

3) 80% of land compensation and all relocation subsidies shall be paid to

affected households. All compensation for young crops and attachments shall be

directly made up for affected people;

4) Reach an agreement on land loss amount and total payable compensation

with each household. All relevant parties shall sign on the agreement;

5) Pay each household according to the signed agreement;

6) Landless farmers are responsible for the use of compensation. Most of

them use it for the development of secondary and tertiary industries;

7) According to the principle of self-governance among villagers regulated in

the Organizational Law of Village Committee and under the organization of

Village Committee, the use of 20% of land compensation of collective economic

organization and compensation for acquired land without the owner of land use

right, non-contracted land of collective economic organization and contracted

land according to other methods shall be decided based on villagers’ consultation

and through the form of villagers’ meeting or villagers’ congress by means of one

or various measures so as to make all affected farmers share resource equally

and realize the recovery and development of production and life.

6.2.4 Social Security for Landless Farmers

Per capita arable land of affected villages in this project is generally wide and

that of 95% of the villages is above 1 mu. Per capita arable land of 3 villages

among 100 involved ones has been lower than 0.3 mu before land acquisition,

including Old Yaozi Village and New Yaozi Village in Kongjiazhuang Town,

Wanquan County, Zhangjiakou City and Nandian Village in Haoqinying Town,

Xincheng District, Hohhot City. Detailed introduction of social security policy of

these 3 villages is as follows:



Social security work of villagers in Nandian Village, Xincheng District,

Hohhot City. (See the case of Nandian Village in Appendix 8)

Since Nandian Village is close to Hohhot City, the villagers’ identity has been

transferred to urban residents and included in urban social security system to

enjoy the treatment of urban residents with the implementation of urbanization

land acquisition. First, cover endowment insurance, unemployment insurance

and medical insurance. Second, enjoy subsistence allowances for those have

difficulties in life. According to the regulations in Interim Procedures of

Endowment Insurance of People Transferred from Landless Farmers in Hohhot

City, draw up the Enforcement Scheme of Landless Farmers Participating

Endowment Insurance in Nandian Village (HZF [2005] 59).

There are totally 3108 agricultural registered residences from 567 households in

the village and 2380 members of village collective economic organization comply

with the condition for effecting insurance. Upon the research of two Village

Committees and the villagers’ congress, individual payment, village collective

payment and adjustment fees of totally 38166,100 Yuan shall be assumed by

village collective. All expenses have been paid off in 2009. At present, 2380

people in Nandian Village have covered endowment insurance and 482 people

have received the pension of 480 Yuan / month. This standard will be

dynamically increased according to the rising range of price level. Meanwhile, to

participate in and receive social security do not influence affected people to

obtain corresponding compensation for land acquisition. Since Nandian Village

does not adopt land adjustment, its land compensation shall be appropriated to

affected households according to the principle in monetary compensation for

land (see details in 6.2.3).

48 residents from 15 households affected by this project who meet the insuring

conditions (reaching 16 years old, losing land and having agricultural census

registration of this village) have participated in social insurance and will begin to

get pension when they reach 60 (male) or 55 (female).

Old Yaozi Village and New Yaozi Village in Kongjiazhuang Town, Wanquan

County, Zhangjiakou City

Landless farmers in above two villages shall cover insurance according to the

regulations in Measures for the Implementation of Endowment Insurance of

Landless Farmers in Zhangjiakou City. Now concrete social security fees and

received amount still cannot be calculated. Local government promises to

calculate based on current economic index as soon as possible before land

acquisition and implement the social security of landless farmers.



Concrete procedures of capital source, cost calculation, receiving and allocation

of the pension of landless farmers are as follows:

(I) Endowment insurance premium for landless farmers shall be raised

according to the principle of “individual payment, collective subsidy and

governmental undertaking”. Financing limit is confirmed according to the

standard that the pension of insured people shall not be lower than subsistence

allowances of local urban residents while reaching retirement age. Financing

proportion is shared according to below 30% of financing amount of individual

payment, above 40% of collective subsidy and above 30% of governmental

undertaking. It can be properly adjusted based on local reality by County

(Municipal, District) Government.

(II) Individual payment for endowment insurance premium shall be offset from

the allowance for land acquisition relocation; collective subsidy shall be

disbursed from land compensation; governmental undertaking shall be

disbursed from land transferring fees.

(III) Individual payment and collective subsidy for endowment insurance

premium shall be withdrawn from the allowance for land acquisition relocation

and land compensation by Village (Neighborhood) Committee and handed over

to County (Municipal, District) Rural Social Endowment Insurance Agency.

Governmental undertaking for endowment insurance premium shall be

transferred to Rural Social Endowment Insurance Agency timely in full by

financial department.

(IV) The standard of paying premium shall be approved and confirmed by Village

(Town) Government (Sub-District Office) upon the discussion and approval of

villagers’ (residents’) meeting or villagers’ (residents’) congress.

The calculation formula for paying endowment insurance premium:

Payment standard = 12R [(1.025)M-1]/[0.025(1.025)M-1]×payment

proportion to be assumed

R：Monthly standard for receiving pension;

M: Sharing time limit. The sharing time limit of insured people is 18 years.

On this basis, 1 year will be decreased for each exceeding year of insured people

to receive pension. Minimum sharing time limit cannot be less than 5 years.

(V) The raising of endowment insurance premium shall be timely adjusted

according to the variation of standard for subsistence allowances of local urban

residents. When raising standard needs be adjusted, County (Municipal, District)

Labor Security Department shall propose adjustment scheme with the



department concerned and then publicize and implement after reporting to

County (Municipal, District) Government for approval. After the standard is

adjusted, the raising of endowment insurance of new insured people shall be

executed according to new standard. The raising standard of insured people

before adjustment is not changed.

(VI) Endowment insurance treatment:

1. The age for starting receiving the pension is 60 years old for males and 55 for

females.

2. Landless farmers that have paid enough endowment insurance as required

can start receiving pension since the following month after reaching the age

till death. People who have reached the age of receiving pension during land

acquisition can start receiving it since the following month after paying off

endowment insurance. For people who haven’t reached the age while

effecting insurance, 2.5% shall be increased for each fewer year as the

standard of receiving pension when they reach the age.

3. Pension shall be paid to insured people by Rural Social Endowment

Insurance Agency through post office, bank and other socialized distribution

channels.

4. The level of pension treatment shall not be lower than the standard for

subsistence allowances of local urban residences. It shall be timely adjusted

based on the variation of standard for subsistence allowances of local urban

residences. Adjustment scheme shall be drawn up by County (Municipal,

District) Labor Security Department with the department concerned and then

publicized and executed after being reported to County (Municipal, District)

Government for approval.

(VII) Besides, according to the Standard for Compensation for Land Acquisition

and Demolition on Zhangjiakou Section Engineering of Zhangjiakou – Tangshan

Railway Issued by Zhangjiakou Municipal Land Resource Bureau and Road

Transport Bureau, “the standard of not less than 10% of the price of acquired

area shall be adopted to make sure social security fees of landless farmers are

appropriated to the special account of municipal, county (district) landless

farmers and the special fund is used for social security of landless farmers before

the approval of agricultural land acquisition. When social security reaches the

special account, competent administrative department of social security shall

timely issue the document of affirming social security measures for landless

farmers.”



6.2.5 Vocational Training and Other Recovery Measures

Two affected provinces insist on market-oriented mechanism of employment

and provide necessary technologies and opportunities for farmers with no or

little land through vocational technical training, vocational introduction and

developing integrated project to promote the employment of landless farmers

and herdsmen.

According to the Guidance on Providing Better Training for Peasant-Workers of

the State Council (GBF [2010] 11), both Hebei Province and Inner Mongolia

Autonomous Region draw up corresponding enforcement opinions and notice 2to

guarantee the smooth implementation of training of peasant-workers in aspects

of system, capital and management.

Carry out planned training of landless farmers and herdsmen. Governments at all

levels and departments concerned within urban planning area shall make

targeted vocational training plan suitable to the feature of landless farmers and

herdsmen and help them realize employment through order-type training and

other methods. Regions outside urban planning area shall actively carry out free

vocational training based on the feature of landless farmers and herdsmen to

improve their employment competitiveness and capacity to initiate and operate.

Actively create conditions to provide free employment service for landless

farmers and herdsmen. Public job introduction agency, training agency and

certifying agency of vocational skills shall initiatively provide free job

introduction, training and vocational skills verification for landless farmers and

herdsmen. At present, there are mainly two kinds of employment training

planned, organized and established by governmental departments: the first kind

is related to agriculture, which mainly involves agricultural extended services for

helping villagers (including landless villagers), e.g. seeding, fertilizer, science and

technology, veterinary service, forestation and avocation economic activities etc.

The second training is related to nonagricultural employment, which aims to

help people with few land and those who are exploring nonagricultural job

opportunities. Training will provide new skills for farmers, help them find new

jobs through information transfer and actively organize labor force output to

developing areas. Training mainly involves food production, machinery, sewing,

Offer job opportunities through multiple approaches. Two affected provinces in

this project insist on market-oriented mechanism of employment, plan urban

and rural employment, develop new jobs through multiple channels, improve

employment environment, encourage and lead various enterprises, institutions

and communities to receive landless farmers and herdsmen and support them to

search for jobs and operate on their own. Implement uniform employment

registration system for farmers and herdsmen received into urban employment



service system. Unemployed landless farmers and herdsmen can make

unemployment registration at local public employment service agency. Public

employment service agency takes charge of handling unemployment registration

procedures and providing employment counseling, guidance, training, job

introduction and other services for landless farmers and herdsmen to promote

those with employment aspirations within labor age group to realize

employment. Those unemployed people with employment aspirations within

labor age group can enjoy relevant supporting policies about employment and

re-employment promotion.

Receive “4050” landless farmers and herdsmen into urban groups with

employment difficulties and develop public service jobs for employment

settlement. For employment settlement, land use organizations can directly

provide jobs and sign labor contract with settlement targets complying with

employment conditions. Besides, land use organizations, employment service

agency and landless farmers and herdsmen can sign triple contract to entrust

settlement.

Nandian Village, Xincheng District, Hohhot City in this protect whose per capita

arable land is lower than 0.3 mu vigorously develops and coordinates integrated

project through self establishment, buying shares, joint development and other

methods to solve the employment of landless villagers, increase the revenue of

collective economy and provide convenient service for villagers. Detailed

integrated auxiliary project of development and job opportunities provided for

landless farmers are as follows (see table 6-3):

(I) Establish Hohhot Binshui Heating LLC. Adopt cooperative operation with

investors through joint contribution of villagers and collective. Build 120t Boiler

Heating Workshop. When the Heating Workshop is operated after the

completion of first-stage project, jobs are provided for more than 20 villagers.

After overall operation, more than 50 villagers will have jobs.

(II)Establish Hohhot Binshui Property Services LLC. Employees are mainly

selected through villagers’ recommendation. More than 100 people have

obtained vocational certificate through self-study, professional training,

operation time and other forms to start working.

(III) Invest to construct the project of dormitory buildings, dining halls and

multifunctional building of Inner Mongolia Normal University. At present, first-

6.2.6 Relocation Planning for Severely Affected Villages

Relocation planning of villages where stations are built

There are totally 4 stations in this project (excluding Zhangjiakou South Station),

among which Huai’an Station and Ulan Qab Station are newly built, and Zhuozi

East Station and Hohhot East Station are rebuilt. Two rebuilt stations are

reconstructed mainly through the original ones. Station reconstruction does not

cause much land reacquisition and demolition work, thus they are not regarded

as severely affected villages. Newly built Huai’an Station and Ulan Qab Station

are respectively located in Taogou Village, Dukoubao Township, Huai’an County

and the Economic Development Zone of Charhar Right Front Banner, Hohhot

City. Thereinto, totally 32 mu of arable land are acquired in Taogou Village,

which takes up 9.73% of its total arable land. The method of land adjustment

after land acquisition is adopted through the discussion villagers’ meeting (see

detailed land adjustment method in 6.2.2). Per capita area of acquired land of the

village is changed to 1.21 mu from 1.34 mu before land acquisition. Totally 318.1

mu of arable land are acquired in Economic Development Zone, which takes up

0.49% of total arable land of the village. Land adjustment is conducted based on

the agreement of villagers’ meeting. Per capita area of acquired land of the village

is changed to 5.61 mu from 5.64 mu before land acquisition. Since per capita

arable land of above two villages is abundant and the influence quantity of

Taogou Village is relatively small, acquired arable land of villages where two new



stations are built does not take up above 10% of their total arable land (see

details in Table 6-4). Per capita arable land of these two villages is above 1 mu,

which can meet the demand for agricultural production.

Demolition is not involved in Taogou Village. 1834 people from 545 households

with 50409 ㎡ of brick and concrete housing are involved in Economic

Development Zone (see details in Table 6-5). All houses are old flat brick

housing, among which 327 households with 32013 ㎡ are demolished for

stations. Relocation of above households shall be arranged based on the

intention of affected people and combined with local planning through house

returning method of “Demolish one, return one”. In 2011, Economic

Development Zone has planned 3 relocation neighborhoods within planning

area, including Zhanggaiying Relocation Neighborhood of 800,000 ㎡ within

business district an 2 relocation neighborhoods of totally 200,000㎡planned by

Saihan Industrial Park to resettle demolished households within planning area.

The 3 relocation neighborhoods above lie to the west of Pinghai Road and north

of Ulan Qab Road, convenient for farmers’ life and their children’s education. All

roads and auxiliary facilities in these neighborhoods are funded and constructed

by Development Zone Government. See detailed demolition relocation planning

in the part of “Inner Mongolia Ulan Qab Charhar Economic Development Zone

Relocation Neighborhood” of the section of “Centralized Demolition” in 6.3.1

While enjoying the training and employment promotion measures in 6.2.5,

employment settlement will also be provided by relocation department for

affected households in villages where stations are built through making use of

the advantage of adjacent railway stations to make affected people with

employment aspirations have the priority to become required employees for the

running of production and life facilities in stations, including carrying, cleaning,

catering, commerce etc. See detailed recovery measures for production and life

in Table 6-6 and Table 6-7.

In a word, land acquisition and demolition impact on 2 affected villages where

stations are newly built has been properly and sustainably resolved without

resulting in unsustainable and degraded production and life to affected people.

For land acquisition impact, both 2 villages adopt land adjustment after land

acquisition upon the discussion and agreement of villagers’ meeting. Thereinto,

per capita acquired land of Taogou Village is 1.21 mu after land acquisition and

that of Economic Development Zone is 5.61 mu after land acquisition. Their per

capita arable land can meet affected people’s demand for subsequent agricultural

production. Meanwhile, the advantage of adjacent to stations also brings more

job opportunities. For demolition impact, demolition is only involved in



Economic Development Zone. Relocation is arranged based on the intention of

affected people and combined with local planning through house returning

method of “Demolish one, return one”. The house structure, degree of old and

new and auxiliary facilities of returned houses are greatly enhanced, thus the

living environment of affected people is also improved.

There are totally 245 people in the village, among which total labor force is 98, agricultural labor force is 40 and 58 people work outside the village. Agricultural labor force takes up 40.82% of total labor force. The source of income of about 60% of labor force no longer depends on land. Current area of arable land is 329 mu.

Impact of land

acquisition

Totally 32 mu of arable land is acquired in the village, which takes up 9.73% of total arable area. Per capita area of acquired land of the village is changed to 1.21 mu from 1.34 mu before land acquisition through land adjustment upon the discussion of villagers’ meeting. After land adjustment, per capita arable land of the village can meet the demand for agricultural production of people living on agriculture. 58 people in the village work outside and jobs can be provided for about 20 people near the station, thus some jobs will be offered for affected people first so as to provide opportunities for people working outside and those with the intention of changing industry to work at home.

Consultation and decision

In project design stage, the village holds villagers’ congress to discuss relocation measures after knowing well about land acquisition. With project development, the village holds many consultative conferences in various forms and finally forms the preliminary relocation program.

Relocation measures

After land acquisition, the village prepares to allocate 80% of the compensation for land acquisition to each household averagely. The rest 20% will be kept in the village for public welfare activities.

Adjust land after land acquisition.

Relocation planning of villages whose per capita arable land is below 0.3 mu

There are only 3 villages whose per capita arable land is lower than 0.3 mu in

this project, including Old Yaozi Village and New Yaozi Village in Kongjiazhuang

Town, Wanquan County, Zhangjiakou City and Nandian Village in Haoqinying

Town, Xincheng District, Hohhot City. With large degree of impact on per capita

arable land, their subsequent life will be resolved through social security and

employment promotion measures including free training. 10 villages whose

acquired arable land takes up above 10% of total arable land among affected

villages are shown in Table 3-2. Since the railway is located in the north and

people in northern villages possess broad per capita arable land, per capita

arable land of rest 97 affected villages is generally among 1 ~15 mu except the 3

villages above, which can meet affected people’s demand for subsequent

agricultural production. Thus these 97 villages are not analyzed as severely

affected ones.

For 3 villages whose per capita arable land has been lower than 0.3 mu before

land acquisition, their subsequent source of income and qualified living standard

shall be guaranteed through monetary compensation (see details in 6.2.3), social

security (see details in 6.2.4) and employment plan (see details in 6.2.5). See

detailed enforcement scheme of production and life recovery of these 3 villages

in Table 6-8, Table 6-9 and Table 6-10.

Based on above analysis, the loss of land acquisition of affected people in villages

whose per capita arable land is lower than 0.3 mu shall be made up through land

adjustment, monetary compensation, vocational training and measures in

various aspects and channels to make them further obtain the capacity and

source of income to improve production and life level.

6.3 Demolition and Relocation Planning

6.3.1 Relocation Planning for Households Affected by Demolition

There are 1035 rural households and 3498 people affected by demolition along

the line; those affected in city amount to 43 households, 133 people. The housing

demolition and relocation planning is applicable to both the rural and urban

demolition in this project. The survey found that 43 urban households are

urbanized residents change from rural registration of urban fringe zone, and the

housing situation and the located region is completely same with the

surrounding rural housing. So there will no separate introduction for the survey,

compensation standard, relocation program in this project, for they will be same

with that of rural housing.

Households from Nandian village in Hohhot and Economic and Technological

Development Zone in Ulan Qab, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region choose the

method of local housing for reconstruction and relocation. The rest affected areas

will make self- scattered relocation.

(1)Centralized Relocation

Through the survey and interview with affected households, specific situation of

relocation place with their agreement and local condition for centralized



relocation is as follows:

Local relocation neighborhoods of Nandian Village and New Binhe Village

in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region:

Nandian Village adopts overall local relocation. Its Village Committee establishes

Inner Mongolia Nanpu Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. and has executed the

construction of villagers’ local relocation neighborhoods (Binhe village) in April,

2006. The neighborhoods that locates in the north of Haidong Road and the east

of Donghe River covers an area of 800 mu, planning construction area of 560

thousand m2 with a total investment of 1.1 billion. 2300 households can be

relocated here and the project will be finished in 2012; Villagers local relocation

neighborhoods centered on multi-storey mode will have rise block built along the

street. Five types of flat including 88.2m2，93.6 m2，103.5 m2，116 m2，117.8

m2 are provided for villagers. Auxiliary facilities constituted by living and

business service aspect are separately including health care station, elderly

activity station, police room etc. and kindergarten, commercial pedestrian street,

community service shop, etc. 40 thousand m2 has been finished at present and

the rest 160 thousand m2 is planned to be constructed in 2011. All households

agree to move in local relocation neighborhoods of Binhe New Village for its

beautiful environment and convenient facilities.

77 rural households with 279 people and 12 urban households with 38 people in

Xincheng District (Nandian Village) of Hohhot need to be relocated. As the

involved urban households are residents changed from rural registration because

of previous land acquisition and their located region and housing situation is

completely same with other rural households, so the overall relocation way is no

different with others.

According to the will of households, relocation shall be made with the standard

of 35 m2 per capita for households. If the original per capita area is over 35 m2,

the compensation for the excess area shall based on 1050 Yuan/ m2 for masonry

and brick structure and 1030 Yuan/ m2 for civil.

Local relocation neighborhoods of Charhar Economic and Technological

Development Zone in Ulan Qab of Inner Mongolia:

There are 545 households with 1834 people in Charhar economic and

technological development center in Ulan Qab of Inner Mongolia, which takes up

62% of the total affected households in Inner Mongolia. Combined the will of

people affected by demolition with local planning, relocation shall be made

through the way of “Demolish one, return pay one” for house restitution.

1. Basic situation of relocation neighborhoods is: In 2011, development zone

has prepared 3 local relocation neighborhoods in planning area for households in



this area. These neighborhoods are including Zhanggaiying local relocation

neighborhoods with an area of 800 thousand m2 in business region and two local

relocation neighborhoods cover an area of 200 thousand m2 in Saihan Industrial

Park. The above three local relocation neighborhoods that locate on the west of

Pinghai Road and the north of Ulan Qab Road hold excellent geographical

position that is convenient for villagers’ life and education of their children, etc.

The construction of roads and auxiliary facilities in the neighborhoods are

invested by the government of development zone.

2. Standard and Price of Relocation Houses Planned to Be Built

(1) The structure of relocation house shall be multi-storey residence with

masonry structure.

(2) Area of flat type: security flat type with construction area of about 40~50

m2, local relocation multiple flats of 60 m2, 70 m2, 80 m2, 90 m2, and 100 m2. After

widespread consultation with households in demolition region, the decided flat

type and area in demolition relocation agreement signed by management

committee of development zone and households shall prevail.

(3) Newly build affordable housing. The outdoor structure shall be built

based on planning requirement, the unit and individual family shall use security

door, and the indoor ground shall be cement cushion.

3. The replacement area shall be determined based on the construction area

of demolished main house confirmed by relevant department. Replace it

according to the principle of “remove one and pay one”, the grade of demolished

house can be improved a bit according to the replaced area of main house, the

improved area within 20 m2 (including 20 m2) can be purchased according to the

price of affordable house (1350Yuan/ m2), the part excesses the improved area

shall be paid according to the market price at that year. As equal-area

replacement has been made for the original demolition area of houses through

replacement, 20 m2 that is sold at the price of affordable house here is owing to

the care policy for households. Households can buy according to their will and

purchasing capability.

4. According to the relocation order, households can freely choose the

building No., unit, storey and room.

5. According to this method, make relocation with various channel and form

for households living in poverty.

6. Relocation Standard of monetary compensation: Households who disagree

with house replacement can get currency compensation. The compensation

standard shall be determined by current market valuation.

As most original houses of households in development zone were old brick



houses, the structure of houses is greatly enhanced by demolition and equal-area

house replacement of this project, the situation of surrounding infrastructure

also gets improved. Besides, as there are many flat types provided in relocation

neighborhoods, lots of residents incline to choose multiple relocation houses

with different areas, and the surplus houses can be rent for increasing family

income based on the dwelling reality of individual family.

(2)Scattered Relocation

Apart from the above relocation made for households in Nandian Village of

Hohhot and Charhar Economic Development Zone through local relocation

neighborhoods, the rest people affected by demolition choose the way of

monetary compensation and self-scattered relocation.

Households will get monetary compensation according to the compensation

standard listed in Table 5-6, see details in the statement of 5.1.2.1 related to

replacement possibility of compensation standard.

Receive transition fee, moving fee and relocation incentive fee and other fees

based on the listed standard in Table 5-8 to ensure the successful transition of

households.

Option and Standard of Immigrant Building Base

New house land required for house reconstruction shall be allocated to moving

family by their villages for free, these families have no need to pay for lands

regarding to new house land. The area of new house land shall be equal at least

with original area. The affected rural residents all adopt nearest relocation way

of their villages. Most of them agree to use the degraded slope lands near to the

adjacent roads in their villages and near the current relevant centralized resident

site for scattered housing and try to avoid occupying farmland. The place of new

house land shall be agreed by village community and households. Rural

households usually like to build new houses in where the transportation is

convenient, such as on either side of roads or village path. The village will try to

satisfy their will to make rural households freely choose specific address within

the scope of provided housing land. If collective land in this village is required by

building new houses, the villager himself shall make application, get permission

of villager conference, be inspected by Village Committee, verified by township

leveled government, and approved by county leveled government.

Land leveling and infrastructure planning

A. Land leveling for house base



Most of the farmers are resettled separately, so the resettled farmers shall choose

sloping land within their village or other villages. Generally, the base land with

good geology shall be built after leveling. Those affected farmers will choose

those centralized allocation confirmed by new country planning, and the

resettlement department will be responsible for leveling, road construction and

utility. Meanwhile, affected people can also choose dispersive allocation to build

their house and they should level land by themselves, which shall be supported

by the construction unit responsible for the section.

B. Facilities

Water supply: According to existing conditions to affected residents, the

water shall be provided by existing water supply network or digging well by

themselves.

Power supply: connecting to existing power supply facilities by 220Kv poles.

Road: villages shall be responsible for arranging the new house to locate near

existing roads and centralized residents point avoiding road construction

additionally, and it will improve transportation conditions for those live

separately.

Broadcast and TV: relocated people can receive broadcast signal by existing

facilities, meanwhile, they can reinstall their original TV facilities or use

existing facilities to receive TV signal in the resettlement area.

Hospital and School: In principle, the relocated people shall be resettled to

centralized resident point and after allocation; they can use existing school

and health facilities, so that improving their hospital and school conditions.

Housing reconstruction

The time needed for construction of the new houses is about 3-5 months. The

construction of the new houses will be carried out by the villagers. Generally,

they will entrust the construction work to a local businessman. Villagers can

salvage construction materials from their original houses without charge. There

will be no deduction of expenses from their compensation. Compensation to

orginal houses shall be paid directly to peasants before resettlement by the

resettlement department of the county government.

The principle is that new houses are to be constructed before the demolition of

the old ones. If demolition is carried out prior the construction of the new house,

it will be necessary to provide village households will transition subsidies.

If villagers would like to enlarge the area or raise the standards of the new



houses, they will have to make payment for the additional costs; based on their

financial situations, villagers are to decide for themselves whether or not to

enlarge the area or raise the standard of quality of the houses.

Labor costs and expenses for construction materials are included in the

compensation for demolition. Villagers who are to construct new houses can

select: 1) enlarge the area of the house and raise the level of comfort; 2)

construct new houses that are of the same area, quality and standard as the

previous ones and the remaining compensation can be used in other ways. The

location of the new house can be negotiated between the villager and villages or

village groups. Nevertheless, the new residential plot will be provided by the

village to the villager without charge.

It will motivate the affected families that reconstruction of new houses is

completed by themselves after they get the compensation. The families can take

many ways to control and reduce cost, such as getting help from relatives and

friends, utilizing original housing materials and local materials.

6.3.2 Relocation Planning for Affected Enterprises and Public

Institutions

For involved affected enterprises, project owners and local demolition

department have made a field survey and interviewed with enterprises owners

and employee representatives to learn affected people’s views on demolition and

selection on relocation way. All affected stakeholders agree to support the

demolition of this project providing reasonable compensation standard and

relocation has been realized.

There are 34 enterprises and public institutions affected by the project. The area

of removed houses amounts to 12, 4052 m2, among which factory buildings cover

85883 m2, bungalows cover 2,8358.76 m2, storied houses cover 5498 m2, and

starter homes cover 4312 m2, the land covered is 191.51 mu with 6729m

enclosing walls, 10682 m2 hardened ground and 11 wells. There are 7 enterprises

make partial demolition. 4 of these 7 enterprises have specified that partial

demolition scope only involve in enclosing walls without any influence to normal

operation. There are 1763 people (all are contract workers) and 10 casual

workers in those affected enterprises and public institutions. Apart from the 326

workers of 4 enterprises that only involved in demolition of enclosing walls, the

actual affected workers amount to 1477. 16 of 34 affected enterprises are

inclined to choose monetary compensation for relocation and the rest 18



enterprises choose reconstruction.

6.3.2.1 Principle of Relocation

1. If land used by households is the transferring one, relocation shall be

made by swap way used for industrial land property right, if it is the renting land,

compensation shall be made for the loss caused by breach of contract.

2. Compensation for buildings of households: The value of ever-existed

buildings shall be evaluated by valuation institutions based on replacement cost

method in order to define compensation fee (see details in 5.1.2.2 related to

compensate enterprise demolition)

3. The value of equipment and auxiliary facilities of households shall be

evaluated by valuation institution through replacement cost method, and

compensation fee of equipment and these facilities cannot be moved shall be

defined by its assessed value, and demolition compensation fee for those can be

moved shall be defined by valuation.

4. Compensation or demolition compensation fee of young crops on the

ground shall be defined by valuation;

5. If demolition cause households meet production suspension, the remover

shall make 3 months’ compensation for personnel suffered suspension of

business with the local minimum wage standard according to the personnel

number registered by the remover in labor and social security agencies. For

households suffered production suspension, one-time economy compensation

shall be made by 3 times of monthly average profits after tax at the year with

maximum profits filed in tax authorities in 3 years before removed. And subsidy

shall be offered in the demolition of factory and office housing.

6. With respect to households who moved in relocation areas, the declared

projects that satisfy conditions of state, autonomous, city and county leveled

special funds and discount loans can be arranged and supported with priority

since the day they stationed in industrial park and went into operation ;

7. Households that moved in relocation areas will enjoy all preferential

investment policies made by every relocation area.

8. Enterprises that agree with reconstruction shall be aided by their will to

arrange affected workers to get employment. City, county, township and village

leveled governments shall assist these affected enterprises to reconstruct and

resume production, guide and aid them to choose new places. Enterprises can

freely choose to move in local industrial park or stay in the town or collective

land of their villages to find new places by their will and local planning; Private



enterprises usually rent collective village land, they can still rent it in the local

area or other places to re-establish factories or other companies after receiving

compensation fee.

9. Regarding to enterprises that have no plan for reconstruction, they and

relocation department shall notify employees the relocation way of enterprises 6

months in advance for employees to re-get employment. And free training and

recommendation for employment that is offered shall be filed in local

employment security plan and realized by local labor employment service

department.

6.3.2.2 Enterprises with No Influence on Normal Operation During

Demolition

4 in 35 affected enterprises and public institutions only involved in demolition of

enclosing walls and other few attachments have no influence in normal

operation. These four companies are Suxin Alloy Co., Ltd., Zhongtian Alloy Co.,

Ltd. of Zhuozi County, Xingyong Carbon Co., Ltd. of Xinghe County in Ulan Qab

and Hengtai Building Materials Co., Ltd. of Charhar Right Front Banner. There are

326 employees in these four enterprises.

6.3.2.3 Enterprises Adopting Monetary Relocation

16 enterprises adopt monetary relocation (see details in Table 6-11), among

which are 4 enterprises only involved in demolition on enclosing walls have no

influence on normal operation stated in 6.3.2.2. Henceforth, enterprises that are

actually affected but volunteer to adopt monetary relocation amount to 12, with

affected 121 workers. Such enterprises are all individual and private enterprises

with employees no more than 20, the scale is small and the operation status is

not good. So enterprise owners volunteer to adopt monetary relocation with no

reconstruction. With respect to workers of those enterprises have no plans for

reconstruction, relocation department and enterprises will notify them the

relocation way of enterprises 6 months in advance, and offer 3 months’ wages as

transition fee for the convenience of workers to get employment. As demand

generally exceeds supply in local labor employment market at present, the

employees under the survey also reflect new jobs can be found in other

enterprises since the former enterprise closed. Meanwhile, the notice given in

advance and offered transition fee provide them plenty of time to prepare for

their satisfied jobs.

6.3.2.4 Enterprises Adopting Reconstruction Relocation

18 enterprises in this project agree to make reconstruction and relocation,

among which are 12 enterprises in Zhangjiakou, 3 enterprises of Charhar Right

Front Banner in Ulan Qab, and 3 enterprises in Hohhot. The specific

reconstruction and relocation measures are as follows:

Relocation measures for enterprises in Zhangjiakou

Demolition enterprises involved in Zhangjiakou are mainly for small and medium

sized machinery processing. They move in industrial park by bundling way after

demolition with government coordination. All enter to Xishan Industry Cluster

Zone based on industry category. Located in Xishan industrial zone of Shangying

Village in Wanquan County of Zhangjiakou, Xishan Industry Cluster Zone with a

total area of 50 sq km is a provincial industrial cluster zone approved by Hebei

People’s Government. It centers on developing three leading industries including

machinery and equipment manufacturing, food processing and modern logistics

with water and energy conservation and low pollution in order to build national

first-class machinery and equipment manufacturing base and modernized

industrial city. 1.8 billion Yuan has been invested for infrastructure construction

in cluster zone until the May in 2009. And the finished area and that in

construction covers an area of 20 sq km, over 70 enterprises have been

established and put into production, 29 projects have been signed and started

construction, total investment of over 10 billion Yuan has been put by

enterprises. On the whole, Xishan Industry is the most attractive investment area

in Zhangjiakou for its advantages in policy, geography, transportation, industry

base, infrastructure and wide investment space. 12 enterprises required to be

reconstructed together with their employees shall receive physical loss

compensation and compensation for loss caused by suspension of production

and relocation cost based on the above compensation principle in 6.3.2.1; the

removed land shall adopt equal-area property right replacement way. All affected

employees will resume the work here after enterprises are reconstructed. As all

losses received reasonable compensation and owing to the superior investment

environment in Xishan Industry Cluster Zone, the demolition enterprises in this

project are satisfied with the reconstruction and relocation in Xishan Industry

Cluster Zone.

Relocation Measures for Enterprises of Charhar Right Front Banner in

Hohhot and Ulan Qab of Inner Mongolia

As the land area is wide in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, all 6 enterprises

required to be reconstructed can find their satisfied addresses for reconstruction



with the aid of local government. Government officers in Hohhot hope and

support enterprises to make local reconstruction, and offer complete

compensation for losses of enterprises and their employees based on the above

enterprise demolition and relocation principle in 6.3.2.1. Affected employees will

receive compensation for shutdown based on local minimum wage standard, and

resume the work after enterprises are reconstructed. Enterprises in Hohhot

adopt reconstruction amount to 3, all are brick factories with original factory

buildings are village collective land being rent. After demolition, with the

coordination with local government, they reconstruct on new places being re-

rent in the town or on village collective land. 3 companies required to be

reconstructed by Charhar Right Front Banner are all commercial logistics

category. After receiving the compensation based on the above enterprise

demolition and relocation principle in 6.3.2.1, they will make reconstruction at

other positions on the original area. As commerce and industry development of

Inner Mongolia is at underdeveloped stage, so local government supports and

welcomes the reconstruction of such medium sized production and commercial

enterprises, and can assist them to find relocation places that satisfy relocation

requirements.

6.4 Affected Infrastructures Resettlement Plan

Basic infrastructures such as water conservancy, electricity, roads and etc

affected by the construction will be rehabilitated by the borrower according to

the principle of "beneficial to local living and convenient for local living" and

practical circumstances.

There are many different types of basic infrastructures and their auxiliary

components affected by the Line. They include communication lines, power

supply lines, roads, irrigation facilities, drainage systems and etc. When basic

infrastructures are affected, the construction party will carry out reparations on

the facilities or negotiate appropriate compensation with the service facilities

provider or representative organizations. During the design of construction

plans, the project owner will determine, together with local governments and

affected people, and according to actual on-site survey, the rehabilitation

methods of basic infrastructures. When the project construction is completed

and is to be submitted for approval and acceptance, the rehabilitation of basic

infrastructures will be one of the necessary conditions.

The rehabilitation of basic infrastructures affected by the project will be carried

out according to the following 3 measures:

To be directly rehabilitated by contractors during construction of the railway,

for example, village roads, agricultural water channels and etc;



The railway line will finance professional teams to carry out relocation for

communication facilities, electrical facilities and etc;

For some basic public infrastructures such as drinking water towers,

illuminating lines and etc, the railway line will make cash compensation to

the affected parties. The rehabilitation will be carried out by the affected

parties.

6.5 Resettlement of Vulnerable Groups

For especially impoverished population, single parent households managed by

women, Old and elderly people, disabled or sick people with no working capacity

and ethnic minorities not living in communities, they will receive fair

compensation and resettlement according to regulations and policies, which

include relocation subsidies, subsidies for resettlement of labors, social security

subsidies for farmers who lost and etc.

Governments of all levels will provide prompt and positive assistance when

resettlement of vulnerable groups is difficult. Special attention and assistance

will be provided by village committees, governments of townships and project

offices to households with financial difficulties, disabled people and five-

guarantee households and etc when they are required to relocate.

There are 4 “Five Guarantees”, 3 households with disabled people, 25 poor

households, and 3 households with women in charge. The above vulnerable

groups are mainly affected by land acquisition, the lands affected by land

acquisition amounts to 0.1-0.2 mu, and the farmland area per capita after land

acquisition is over 1 mu. As for families involved in land acquisition, land

acquisition in the project has no negative effects on their work and life but

increase their economic income and deposit to some extent because poverty is

mainly caused by inadequate strong labors and general idle lands.

2 households are affected by demolition. As compensation funds meet

replacement standard and Huai’an County government in Zhangjiakou where

these two poor households affected by demolition locate in will also carry out

obligations to offer labors and funds to assist in reconstruction, if there is some

difficulty for these two households in housing reconstruction.

Civil administration departments in affected areas have already incorporated the

above Five Guarantees, disabled people, poor households and families with

women in charge into the local minimum living standard security system, and

have offered minimum living security for them every month.

6.6 Women Development PlanWith respect to the survey, decision process, compensation funds allocation



related to levy and demolition involved in the project, and the offered job

opportunities after completion, women enjoy equal engagement and sharing

rights with men.

Firstly, women are members in every Village Committee, and they enjoy the equal

engagement rights with men in villager conference and villager council.

Secondly, women’s opinions received understanding and consideration in

relevant opinion poll related to land acquisition and demolition;

Thirdly, women enjoy equal sharing and allocation rights in future compensation

for land acquisition and demolition;

Fourthly, women with wills of getting employment will be preferentially

considered for job opportunities offered during project construction and project

completed, meanwhile, they enjoy local employment training and

recommendation rights.

7.2 schedule

The schedule of land acquisition and resettlement depends on that of the railway

construction. The following principles should be followed:

I) Housing demolition will be carried out by stage, but it must be completed

before the starting of the stage’s construction. Specific demolition schedule is

in accordance with the speed of project construction.

II)the notice of demolition should be given to the relocatees at least 3 months in

advance. Thus, the relocatees could have at least 3 months to reconstruct their



homes. The relocatees can stay in their old house before the new one is

constructed.

III) the duration of the relocatees’ reconstruction may be extended if necessary;

IV) land acquisition should be completed before the construction of the Railway

Line starts;

V)labor employment is completed before land acquisition;

The construction period of this project is about 4 years. Land acquisition and

demolition start from the beginning of 2012 and finish in the end of 2013. Specific

schedule for land acquisition and demolition is in accordance with the speed of

project construction. Details are shown in Table 7-1.

resettlement plan, coordinate administration work and coordination with the

railway departments.

8.4 Institutional capability and training

To ensure the implementation of the resettlement and the benefit of the affected

population, it is necessary to provide specialized training for the implementing

organizations, local Railway Construction Supporting Office and members of

other organizations to strengthen their planning and administrating capabilities.

The training work will be undertaken by the Preparation Group of Huzhang

Railway, under the instruction of the Centre of Foreign Capital of the Ministry of

Railway. The qualified experts with the large experience of resettlement action in

World Bank projects will be retained as instructors. The trainers can be divided

into 2 kinds: one group can be organized for involved personnel of provinces and

cities by the 3 provinces themselves; the other group can be organized for

involved executors of every county by the county itself before implementation of

this project. Main contents of the training include:

Relevant state and local laws and regulations regarding land

acquisition and immigration

World Bank’s policies and requirements.

RAP

Procedure and experience of resettlement and land acquisition

Through training, officials of governments of prefectures and cities begin to be

familiar with requirements of resettlement and compensation policies of World

Bank. These officials also clearly know that there is one target reflected from the

laws of the People’s Republic of China and World Bank Policies and that is the



living standards of the affected people will at least be maintained the same after

the construction of the project as prior the construction.

The expense of resettlement organization for governments of all levels can be

special management fee of this project, normally 2-3% of the total cost for

resettlement. The training fee is also included in the special management fee.

responsible for the specific implementation of land acquisition, removal and

resettlement in respective areas;

World Bank: provide loans for the project;

Project-affected enterprises and institutes: refer to project-affected

enterprises, institutions and commercial shops, etc.;

Project-affected villages and individuals: include village collectives and

individuals affected by the land acquisition, demolition and resettlement;

Constructor: the project contractor responsible for the construction of the

project.

9.1.1.2 Analyses on major stakeholders

Ministry of Railways

The Ministry of Railways is the highest administrative department in charge of

the construction, development, operation and management of China's national

railway transport. In this project, the Ministry of Railways is the main funder as

well as the World Bank loan borrower, shouldering the responsibility to

supervise and manage the implementation of the project.

Preparation Group of Huzhang Railway Company



The preparation group of Huzhang Railway Company is set up specially by the

Ministry of Railways to manage the project. The preparation group is responsible

for the project bidding, supervision over the implementation of the project

contractor. The group also undertakes the task to coordinate with local

governments and relevant agencies to jointly fulfill the land acquisition,

demolition and resettlement during the implementation of the project.

Land acquisition, demolition, resettlement and construction are major activities

among the functions of the preparation group, which is directly related to the

benefits of the project-affected collectives and individuals. The preparation

group, on the one hand, must perform its functions to strictly supervise the safety

of the project, regulate construction, and protect the production and living

facilities of the affected villages and villagers. Once the facilities are used by the

project, the organization should ensure that reasonable compensation is made,

facilities are returned immediately; once the facilities are damaged they should

be compensated accordingly and restored. Moreover, the group, together with the

local government, shall properly carry out the land acquisition, demolition and

resettlement, and ensure the affected farmers get the full compensation. On the

other hand, the group should accept the supervision of the Ministry of Railways,

local government and villages along the line; ensure to perform its functions in

accordance with national and local policies and regulations; stick to the principle

of "unlimited inform and consult in early phase", properly handle all possible

problems concerning the rights and interests of the affected villages and villagers

along the line during construction, protect the interests of the affected collectives

and individuals as well as the project image.

Provincial/Autonomous Region Government

The provincial government and autonomous region government are investors as

well as beneficiary of the project, taking its local fiscal revenue on land

acquisition, demolition and resettlement as investment. The government not only

shoulders the cost of land acquisition, demolition and resettlement, ensures the

construction team's implementation, but also shoulders the important duty to

protect the rights and interests of the village groups and villagers. Therefore, the

government should emphasize the coordination between the constructor and the

affected collectives and individuals along the line, and properly solve any

possible disputes and conflicts. It should also pay the affected farmers the full

compensation of land acquisition, demolition and resettlement, arrange

homesteads timely. The government should strengthen communications and

coordination and provide proper solutions to sensitive compensation standard

problems concerning the vital interests of the affected collectives and



individuals; it should attach great importance to any problems left behind in the

past and may interfere the current project. Through consultation with relevant

parties the government should provide a practical solution and reduce obstacle

for the grassroots government.

Affected cities, counties / districts and township governments

Project-affected city, county and township governments are beneficiaries of the

project, and also shoulder the territorial responsibility for the preparation and

construction in every stage of the project. Their major tasks are to ensure the

specific implementation of land acquisition, demolition and resettlement, the

release of compensation, to keep order of the construction, to meditate any

disputes and conflicts caused by the project, and to maintain local social order,

and the rights and interests of affected businesses and residents and so on.

Though these governments of different levels enjoy little power but shoulder

very important responsibilities. Therefore, on the one hand, they must observe

national and local policies and regulations and rightly perform their duties; on

the other hand, because they're familiar with local customs and conditions as

well as the laws, regulations and policies, they must make full use of these

advantages to play their roles in coordination, communication and conflict

resolution.

Through field investigation it is found that cadres appointed by government of all

levels to assist the project, especially those appointed by the governments they're

working in, have very good understanding of the project. They are well aware of

potential risks and the difficulties to perform their duties. Besides they have deep

understanding of local customs and conditions and are very familiar and trusted

by the masses. These are the important precondition for them to do

contributions to the project.

World Bank

World Bank is one of the loan providers of the project. Its contribution to the

project is not limited to the loans. World Bank will specially set up a team to help

owners implement the project and reduce the risks of loans. With its relevant

operation policies and extensive experience in international projects, the team

will strictly supervise and instruct the preparation, implementation of the project

and also the operation and management of the later stages of the project. World

Bank insists its security policies be strictly carried out in the whole process,

which not only helps improve the standards of the project both in policies and

operation, but also plays an important role in reducing the potential risks of the

project.



Project-affected villages and individuals:

Project-affected collectives refer to village groups by land acquisition, and

enterprises and institutions affected by demolition. Project-affected individuals

refer to villagers, urban residents, employees in enterprises and institutions and

students affected by the project. The collectives and individuals can continuously

enjoy the benefits of the project, such as convenient transportation and local

development, and at the same time bear the potential negative impacts of the

project directly.

Through field investigation, it is found that residents along the line, particularly

rural residents generally have relevant project experience in early stage, and are

informed of both positive and negative impacts of the project. They trust local

governments and cadres, hoping to solve disputes and conflicts through equal

consultation and negotiation. They believe the village committee can represent

them, knowing how to protect their own interest through appealing to the

government, other legal bodies, having a universal understanding and support of

the project. They are generally concerned with the following issues: Can the

affected farmers be fully compensated in time? Can homesteads be arranged

timely and rightly for the households whose houses are demolished? Will their

living standards be maintained and improved? Will relevant information be

disclosed timely? Will their suggestion be respected and adopted? Will the

project bring any hidden dangers to production and living and so on.

Constructor

Currently the project is still in the early stage of preparation. The owner said it

would carry out public project bidding strictly observing the national and

sectoral policies and regulations to ensure the contractor is qualified. It will also

strengthen the supervision and management of the contractor. Basing on the

principle to benefit the communities and residents, the owner also it will ask the

contractor to give priority to local surplus labor in the recruitment and give

priority to local resources and products when choosing raw materials.

9.1.2 Stage, methods and contents of public participation

Contents and methods of public participation are respectively reflected through

the following ways:

Village level: i) Village group leaders and villager representatives have been

involved in investigating and confirming the amount of land to be acquired and

the attachments. The participants in these investigations were the household

heads, villager representatives, village cadres, the town RSOs, and the railway

SDIs; iii) After the investigation is completed, the details of the expected loss of



land, buildings, crops, etc. will be verified and confirmed by the affected persons.

Compensation agreements will be signed by all the parties concerned with copies

retained by the affected households, the RSOs of local governments, and the

railway contractors; iii)The location of the new house site has significant impact

on the villager’s future life and on his/her other business activities. The villagers

usually hope to build their housing on both sides of highways so that they may

engage in business. The Project will respect the villagers’ expectations, provide

them with opportunities, and allow them a great deal of freedom in choosing new

home sites. The Project also will give the affected villages sufficient room for

adjustment and amelioration of their moving schedule which will reduce the

need for temporary housing. Establishment of a set of monitoring mechanisms is

directed against the procedures of practical implementation situateions.

Public participation is one of the most important and indispensable steps in the

project survey and design. Following training, the project survey and design

units will go to the construction sites and conduct in-depth investigations. They

hold many types of negotiation and consultation meetings to gather comments

and demands on the Project from all parties along the proposed alignment.

Through many consultations, including signing contracts with the concerned

departments of local governments along the rail line, solutions are found to

issues, which must be settled before Project construction begins, such as water

supply sources, drainage, sites for fill and disposal of spoil, and stone and sand

supply. In addition, the survey and design specialists discuss issues of regional

benefit and work out plans to handle these issues.

Public participation is also an important aspect of Project evaluation. During

compiling of the Resettlement Plan for the project, in-depth investigations were

conducted by the Consultant to identify issues of common concern to the affected

people. Questionnaire-based surveys and interviews along the rail line were

conducted. People from provinces, prefectures, counties, townships and affected

villages took part in the investigations and actions, so that they became clear

about the Project. The households interviewed were cooperative and provided

detailed data on the size of family, the area of household land, household income

and expenditure, housing condition and the number of durable items.

Households also indicated the impact they expected from land acquisition and

housing demolition, and expressed their opinions about resettlement and their

attitudes toward construction of the Line. This process will continue for the

preparation of detailed resettlement plans and for resettlement implementation.

The Project construction process is also the process of public participation.

During construction, the rural farmers and urban citizens along the alignment

will have job opportunities and participate in the construction. The materials



used for the construction may be procured from local sources, which will have a

positive impact on the local people, industries and enterprises.

During and after the completion of the Project, the monitoring and the appraisal

activities will also need public participation, in order to ensure that entitlements

have been received as planned. The surveys and assessment for monitoring and

appraisal will need public participation and support.

As the resettlement census work program is implemented, public participation

will be included as a component, that will be followed by continued public

participation as a component of the resettlement program, and that will be

followed by public participation as a component of the monitoring and evaluation

program.

9.1.3 participation in preparation stage

9.1.3.1 Meetings in the Preparatory Stage

Public participation is a major content of RAP. The major participating agency is

China Railway Consultation Group. The main participation contents include

coordination with local governments and relevant organization, on-site impact

surveys, socio-economic surveys and social evaluation. Detailed discussions and

coordination are also conducted on project improvement design, impact surveys

and restoration measures, which are reflected in the process of coordination. In

the process of Jihui railway project planning, many meetings were conducted

with the national, provincial and local bureaus, seen in Table 9-1. Meetings are

also conducted with representatives of enterprises, who represent those

enterprises getting profits from project construction and operation. The most

important is the ascertaining of affected villages and urban neighborhoods.

Aside from holding conferences with village residents, conferences were also

held for representatives of schools and other institutions that may be affected.

There were a series of problems that were discussed and evaluated regarding the

number of affected people, institutions, schools and enterprises. The extent of

impact was also discussed.

In the process of the preparation for land acquisition, housing demolition and

resettlement, consultations and meetings have been conducted by the Consultant

and will be conducted during the Project’s implementation. Consultations will be

mainly held between: MOR and the affected provinces, prefectures and county

governments; The railway contractors and prefectures, and county governments

along the rail line; The local RSOs, local Bureaus of Land and Resources and the

affected villages and groups; The local RSOs, villages/groups and farmer

households.



The content of the consultations will mainly involve the compensation standard

for land acquisition and building demolition, the location and the means of new

building construction, the schedule of removal, the resettlement methods, etc.

In the preparation and implementation stages of land acquisition and building

demolition for the Project, the local government and the affected people, the

railway support institutions at different levels, the railway sector and the local

sectors will constantly hold various types of meetings, including: Villager

meetings to be held in the villages or groups; Consultation meetings with the

affected families to be held at the county, the township and the village levels;

Meetings of the village cadres and villager representatives to be held at the

county and the township levels; Negotiation meetings on the resettlement plans

to be held between the project management office at the county and the

township level; Working level meetings to be often held between the project

management office and removal groups of the Project contractors; and county-

level working meetings to be held at the prefecture-level project management

office.

9.1.4 Survey on Public Opinions

From August to September 2010, the organization responsible for formulating

the RAP conducted a relatively large scale survey on opinions of the society.

Through random taking of samples, the opinions of 426 households (mainly the

head of the household) were collected, occupying 24.61% of the total affected

households. This is to identify with the opinions of the public in relevant villages

with regards the project construction, land acquisition, demolition and

resettlement. See Table 9-1 and 9-2 for results on relevant public and resettlers'

opinions.

On the overall, majority of the people acknowledged the information that the

project is to start construction and expresses they are in favor of the project

construction. Over half of the survey individuals (62.21%) knew the project is to

be constructed, but there are still some who did not understand (16.67%, after

questionaires, the interviewees began to know about the project); A large

number of people (60.80%) are in favor of the project construction while 5.16%

disapproves; 34.04% are indifferent;

When questioned about impacts, 89.20% considered that railway ticket prices

were lower than that of coaches, thus reducing the travel cost; 43.90%

considered the project would improve transportation conditions and traveling

will become more convenient; 15.73% considered that project would affect the

local investment environment and attract outside investors to invest locally and

thus create more chances for the people;



People also mentioned about negative impacts, especially on daily life. 26.53%

held that the land requisition would affect daily life; 48.59% were worried about

less economic incomes due to land requisition. 24.18% thought that the local

traffic conditions would be affected during the period of construction and

47.18% held that demolition of houses would bring in economic loss.

As compensation policies for land acquisition and demolition have not be

finalized, a portion of the surveyed targets (42.96%) expressed they did not

understand relevant compensation policies for land acquisition, over one third of

the people (34.04%) were not very clear on the policies; nevertheless, but still

more than half of the people (63.38%) expressed that they understood methods

of appeal to safeguard their legal rights.

During surveys, the survey group collected opinions on land requisition and

resettlement work. Due to relatively lower educational level of interviewees

which are hard to express their opinions, therefore, the survey group drafted a

generally accepted list of opinions for selection by the interviewees (See Table 9-

2). It was found out from the survey that 67.84%of the people hoped the railway

line will not requisite their land and houses. But 73.24% of the people hoped to

participate in the construction and earn money. 68.08% hoped to be

compensated and welcome coordination and transparent policies.

9.1.5 Participation plan in implementation stage

During the period of negotiation on land acquisition, every village or group will

hold the following two types of meetings (Details in Table 9-3):

Meetings of the villager representatives held by the county or the town land

administration departments. The themes of such meetings are to make clear

the significance of the Project; the area, location, and the time of land

acquisition; and the state and province laws, policies and regulations about

land acquisition. Such meetings are often held during the consultation and

negotiation on land acquisition for a project.



Meetings of all the villagers to be held by the village council with all the

villagers or the heads of households as participants at one month before

making decision. The themes of these meetings are to explain State and

provincial regulations and policies; the area and amount of land acquisition;

the standards of compensation; measures of rebuilding and people

resettlement; rehabilitation plans for income restoration; allocation of

compensation between the collective and affected households; investment of

collective compensation; livelihood training needs and plans; and other

issues identified during the consultative process. At each meeting opinions,

suggestions, and complaints from the villagers are to be collected. Such

meetings are often held during the period of land acquisition,

implementation, and signing of contracts on compensation.

A public forum is to be arranged for affected people and relevant

beneficiaries at least one month prior the implementation of the

resettlement.

demolition and resettlement. The information dissemniation shall be held by

means of pasting notices in the notice boards of affected villages, from November

to 15 November 2011.

9.3 Appealing

Resettlement is a complicated task. It is inevitable that the affected persons will

have grievances and complaints during the resettlement implementation. For the

purposes of guaranteeing the interests of the affected persons, the resettlement

offices will establish a set of highly transparent and simple procedures for

collecting and handling grievance and complaints, so as to objectively, justly and

efficiently deal with the grievances and complaints of the mass and to ensure the

smooth progress of the resettlement.

9.3.1 Procedures for complaints and appeals

There are several ways to collect complaints andappleas as follows:

Collecting grievances of the affected persons from the report of the local

ROs, including grievances of the mass, the progress, working measures

and existed problems.

All contractors must submit construction journal to the project owner

every week, from which information on whether there is any people

affecting the construction can be known.

Problems on land acquisition and relocation coordination discovered by

the Preparation Group in field inspection.

Relevant information reflected by IMO.

Letters and calls of the affected persons.

Relevant information and problems reflected from local ROs at all levels.

Relevant special problems reflected by the audit and disciplinary

inspection divisions.

Special investigation of internal and external monitoring.

9.3.2 Procedures for complaints and appeals

9.3.2.1 The First Stage
