1 Summary 1.1 Introduction to the Project and the RP

1.1.1 Introduction to the Project With the expansion of the built-up area and the sharp growth of the population of

Goubangzi Town, where the west district is a key urban district developed by the town CPC committee and town government during the 11th Five-year Plan period, developing and utilizing the west town district has become a top priority in the urban construction of the town. In order to further strengthen the infrastructure construction of the west town district, promote the development and utilization of this district, and improve the standard of living of town residents, the Goubangzi Town Government has applied for a loan with the Asian Development Bank (“ADB”) for the Goubangzi Town Urban Infrastructure Project (the “Project”)1.

The Project consists of the following components: 1) construction, reconstruction and expansion of 12 roads; 2) reconstruction of 13 alleys in the old urban area, with a total length of 26.22 km (including sewer lines and street lamps); 3) a belt-shaped park; and 4) a pumping station.

The total capital investment in this project is CNY230.3313 million, in which the ADB loan is CNY94.1396 million (equivalent to US$13.8 million), and the balance is to be raised locally.

1.2 External resettlement M&E The M&E work of involuntary resettlement of the Project was undertaken by the

National Research Center for Resettlement (NRCR), Hohai University.

1.2.1 Scope of this round of M&E According to the procurement plan of the Project, the Project has 4 contract

packages, including one consulting package and 3 civil work packages. No goods contract package is involved in the Project. All the 3 civil work packages involve land acquisition and resettlement, as shown in Table 1-3.

The resettlement work of the Project began in early May 2010, and was not completed by the end of July. Therefore, the scope of this round of M&E includes the progress of land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement, funding, management, institutional building and public participation, etc. This round of M&E aims to propose existing and potential issues in land acquisition and house demolition, and provide suggested solutions. A supplementary baseline survey was made on the households affected by land acquisition and house demolition during this round of M&E.

1.2.2 Scope of this monitoring report The M&E of the components was conducted in order of land acquisition and

house demolition, and each group of affected people will be followed up for resettlement and income restoration. When the Project is completed, a post-evaluation will be conducted.

According to the survey and the RP, the main impacts of the Project are land acquisition, house demolition, and ground attachment demolition, in which land acquisition will affect one enterprise. Therefore, this round of M&E covered the following mainly: Progress and amount of permanent land acquisition, compensation rates,

disbursement of funds, and use of compensation fees Progress and amount of house demolition, compensation rates, disbursement of

funds, and use of compensation fees Restoration of vulnerable groups Restoration and rebuilding of infrastructure Sampling analysis of income and expenditure of displaced households Satisfaction of displaced with compensation and resettlement for land acquisition

and house demolition Institutional capacity building Internal resettlement monitoring Modes and effectiveness of public participation Registration and handling of grievances and appeals

1.2.3 Working procedure of M&E 1) Preparing the terms of reference for resettlement M&E; 2) Designing the sampling plan; 3) Baseline survey; 4) Establishing a M&E information system; 5) Follow-up survey; 6) Data compilation and analysis; 7) Preparing the baseline survey and M&E report.

1.2.4 M&E methods Literature study: referring to and verifying documents, agreements and

statistical reports on resettlement

Page 9: PRC: Liaoning Small Cities and Towns Development

Sampling survey: to design the sampling plan and survey questionnaire. The M&E team surveys randomly sampled affected households one by one according to the survey questionnaire. The scope of the survey includes household population, income and expenditure, and satisfaction with resettlement, etc. These affected households will be tracked in the next round of M&E until their income is restored.

In this round of M&E, 39 households affected by land acquisition were subject to a questionnaire survey, accounting for 16% of all households affected by land acquisition. The survey covered household population, land, income and expenditure, etc. (see Appendix 7).

12 households affected by house demolition were subject to a questionnaire survey, accounting for 70% of all households affected by house demolition. The survey covered household population, housing type, housing area and building age, etc. (see Appendix 8).

FGD: Two FGDs were held with the resettlement implementing agencies of the Project, and the district (township) and sub-district (village) committees concerned (with 25% of the participants being women) to learn the progress of land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement, comments and suggestions on the Project, and public participation.

Key informant interview: The director of the Town PMO and the directors of the village committees were interviewed to learn the progress and impacts of the Project, and the affected people’s needs for and grievances about the Project (see Appendix 2).

In-depth interview: involving the person responsible of the affected enterprise (see Appendix 9) and villager representatives (with 15% being women)

The methods used in this round of M&E are described in more detail in Appendix 1.

2 Organization 2.1 Organization

The Goubangzi Town Government established the Leading Group of the ADB Financed Goubangzi Town Urban Infrastructure Project in June 2008, which governs the project management office (PMO), headed by Zhang Yunxiang, deputy head of Goubangzi Town. The Town Urban Construction Bureau is the executing agency of the Project. See Appendix 3—Notice on establishing the construction leading group of the ADB Financed Goubangzi Town Urban Infrastructure Project (GTG Office [2008] No.6).

In order to implement land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement properly, the land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement work leading group (“Town Project Leading Group”) was established in August 2009, headed by Wang Xue, head of Goubangzi Town, which governs the resettlement and compensation office, headed by Chang Xueping, Director of the Town Urban Construction Bureau. See Appendix 4—Document on establishing the land acquisition and house demolition leading group, and implementing agencies for the ADB Financed Goubangzi Town Urban Infrastructure Project (GTG Fa [2009] No.47).

In May 2010, the Provincial PMO appointed NRCR as the independent external resettlement monitoring agency of the Project.

The resettlement and land acquisition work of the Project began in early June 2010. As at July 30, the resettlement work was underway. The implementing agencies of land acquisition and resettlement of the Project include the Town Urban Construction Bureau, Town Land and Resources Station, Town Demolition and Resettlement Management Office and village committees concerned (see Figure 2-1).

Figure 2-1 Organizational chart

2.2 Capacity of implementing agencies All implementing agencies have been adequately staffed based on the activity

intensity of land acquisition and resettlement, as shown in Table 2-1. At the same time, each agency has a fixed office, office equipment and funds for resettlement implementation and management. These funds are paid by the Owner of the Project in a unified manner, and made available at the beginning of land acquisition and house demolition. The powerful resettlement implementation and management

2.3 Evaluation The M&E team surveyed the operation of the resettlement organization, and the

findings reveal that the resettlement organization has been established, the responsibilities and duties of all levels defined, the staff and equipment are rationally provided, and the staff has been trained.

However, since the Project is the first ADB financed project in Goubangzi Town and the resettlement staff is implementing land acquisition and resettlement for an ADB financed project for the first time, though part of the resettlement staff has participated in the preparation of the Project, and has got a certain understanding of ADB’s safeguard policy and RAP, there are still some deficiencies in policy understanding and resettlement practice (e.g., high staff liquidity, internal information reporting and file management).

Therefore, the team advises the Town PMO to strengthen the training of its staff and improve its internal management systems while keeping the staff stable, so that resettlement activities can be implemented successful pursuant to the RP approved by ADB.

By the end of July 2010, none of the components of the Project had been started. The land acquisition and house demolition work of the Project began in early May

2010, in which land acquisition has been completed, and house demolition is underway and expected to be completed by the early of August 2010.

3.2 Implementation of resettlement

3.2.1 Acquisition of collective land The Land and Resources Department of Liaoning Province gave a reply on the

land pre-approval of the Project on December 15, 2008, approving the land for construction of the Project (see Appendix 5). On February 26, 2010, the Liaoning Provincial Government approved the land acquisition plan of the Project (see Appendix 6).

As compared to the RP, 244.26 mu of collective land will be actually acquired in Goubangzi and Majiahuang Villages, 16.66 less than planned; 243 households will be affected, 39 more than planned, and 834 persons will be affected, 38 more than planned (see Table 3-2).

3.3 Resettlement policies and standards

3.3.1 Acquisition of collective land (1) Land compensation and resettlement policies Compensation and resettlement for acquisition of collective land is based mainly

on the Land Administration Law of the PRC, the Measures of Liaoning Province for the Implementation of the Land Administration Law of the PRC (Bulletin No.16 of the Standing Committee of the Liaoning Provincial People’s Congress) and the Notice of the General Office of the Liaoning Provincial Government on the Implementation of the Standard for Area-based Composite Land Prices for Land Acquisition (LPG Office Fa [2010] No.2).

The land acquired for the Project will be compensated for based on its former use. Compensation fees for land acquisition include land compensation fees, resettlement subsidies and compensation fees for ground attachments and young crops. It has been resolved at the village congress that the village collectives will withhold 20% of land compensation fees, and all resettlement subsidies will be paid to the affected households; compensation fees for ground attachments will belong to their proprietors.

(2) Land compensation rates The compensation rate for acquisition of collective farmland is as follows: the

composite resettlement subsidy is 30,000 yuan/mu, including a land compensation fee of 15,000 yuan/mu and a resettlement subsidy of 15,000 yuan/mu. The compensation rate for acquisition of collective land is 30,000 yuan/mu, consistent with the RP (see Table 3-5).

(3) Resettlement In Goubangzi and Majiahuang (Wangtun) Villages where land acquisition has

been completed, the mode of resettlement will be cash compensation through discussion at the village congress and in consultation with the affected households, where 20% of land compensation fees will be retained by the village collectives, and the affected people will receive 80% of land compensation fees + resettlement subsidies + young crop compensation fees. The affected households will receive a resettlement subsidy and a land compensation fee totaling 27,000 yuan/mu, and the village collectives will withhold a land compensation fee of 3,000 yuan/mu, which will be used for public benefit programs. No land reallocation will be made in each village.

Figure 3-1 Details of compensation fees received by households affected by land acquisition in Banggouzi Village

3.3.2 House demolition (1) Resettlement policies for house demolition Resettlement for house demolition is based mainly on the Land Administration

Law of the PRC, the Measures of Liaoning Province for the Implementation of the Land Administration Law of the PRC (Bulletin No.16 of the Standing Committee of the Liaoning Provincial People’s Congress), the Rules for the Administration and Implementation of Urban House Demolition of Beizhen Municipality (BTG Gui [2003] No.1), and the benchmark price levels for urban house demolition and compensation rates for attachments of Goubangzi Town.

Residential houses The policy of cash compensation or property swap applies to rural residential

houses demolished for the Project. If any affected person selects cash compensation, it will also receive a compensation fee for its housing site according to the compensation rate. In case of property swap, the Town PMO will offer new housing of the same area as the proprietary housing area without making up the price difference, and any excess of area will be settled at the market price of commercial housing. The resettlement site is Xinxinyuan Community (forward delivery housing), which is less than 1 km away from the project area. By the end of July 2010, the main part of the resettlement community had been largely completed. The resettlement housing will be available to the displaced households in the second half of 2010.

Page 16: PRC: Liaoning Small Cities and Towns Development

Figure 3-2 Storied building under construction in resettlement community

Non-residential houses

The mode of cash compensation applies to demolition of non-residential houses. Compensation fees for house demolition include house compensation fees, moving subsidies and other costs, etc.

(2) Compensation rates for house demolition Residential houses

The rural residential houses demolished for the Project will be compensated for at replacement cost: 1,270-1,340 yuan/m2 for slab houses. During project implementation, the affected households have proposed in consultation with the Town PMO that an additional area of 10 m2 per household should be offered for free, and no moving and transition subsidies will be paid. The market price of the housing of the resettlement community is 2,000 yuan/m2. As compared to the rate defined in the RP, this compensation rate is higher.

The compensation rate for residential houses is shown in Table 3-6.

According to the house demolition compensation and resettlement agreement, most of the displaced households have selected property swap. Although Xinxinyuan Community is forward delivery housing, most of them have selected this community, because it is close to the urban area, convenient in traffic and will be available in the second half of 2010.

3.3.3 Attachments (1) Compensation rates The compensation rates for attachments are based on the Rules for the

Administration and Implementation of Urban House Demolition of Beizhen Municipality, and the benchmark price levels for urban house demolition and compensation rates for attachments of Goubangzi Town, as shown in Table 3-9. The compensation rates are consistent with those defined in the RP.

3.4 Funds and disbursement By the end of July 2010, compensation fees totaling 13,341,368 yuan had been

paid for land acquisition, and house and attachment demolition under the Project.

3.4.1 Compensation fees for acquisition of collective land By the end of July 2010, land compensation fees and resettlement subsidies

totaling 7,254,071 yuan had been paid. The land compensation fees have been disbursed to the village collectives. It has been resolved at the village congress that 20% will be withheld by the village collectives to develop public benefit programs, and 80% of the land compensation fees plus the resettlement subsidies will be paid to the affected households.

Page 18: PRC: Liaoning Small Cities and Towns Development

3.4.2 Compensation fees for house and attachment demolition By the end of July 2010, compensation fees for house and attachment demolition

totaling 6,087,351 yuan had been paid directly to the affected people.

3.4.3 Fund disbursement (1) Disbursement of compensation fees for collective land The Town Land and Resources Station will disburse compensation fees to the

Town Finance Station, which will pay compensation fees to the affected village collectives. Under the supervision of the Town PMO, each village collective will hold a village congress to generate the allocation plan of compensation fees—20%of land compensation fees will be retained by the village collective to develop public benefit programs, 80% of land compensation fees and all resettlement subsidies will be paid to the affected households. A sound compensation fee management system has been established, where compensation fees will be accounted for separately and used for the intended purpose. The affected village collective organizations have prepared a land acquisition register and detailed income and expenditure accounts, which are open to villagers’ supervision.

(2) Disbursement of compensation fees for houses and attachments The Town Demolition and Resettlement Management Office had paid all

compensation fees directly to the affected collectives or persons by July 30, 2010 according to the house demolition compensation and resettlement agreement.

3.5 Evaluation Based on the fieldwork, the external monitoring agency thinks that by the end of

June 2010, the land acquisition and resettlement work of the Project had been conducted according to ADB’s requirements, the compensation policies and rates complied with the RP, the fund disbursement procedures were transparent and efficient, and compensation fees had been paid to the affected people timely and in full.

4 Resettlement baseline survey Goubangzi Town is located in the south of Beizhen City, connected to Jinzhou in

the west, Panjin in the south, Shenyang in the east and Fuxin in the north, enjoying convenient traffic and advantaged geographic location. The town has a total area of 56 km2, an arable area of 3,087.5 ha, and a resident population of about 80,000, in which rural population is about 29,000. It governs 10 administrative villages and 6 communities. The ethnic groups include Han, Manchu, Hui, Miao, Mongolian, Korean, Xibo, Zhuang, Wa and Daur, in which Manchu people account for 45% of total population.

In 2009, the town’s gross output value of enterprises was 641.619 million yuan, industrial gross output value 570.448 million yuan and agricultural gross output value 35.919 million yuan. The town has a rural population of 28,162 and a total arable area of 2,779 ha. In 2009, farmers’ per capita net income attained 7,900 yuan. Generally, agricultural income accounts for a low proportion in farmers’ income.

4.1 Survey of affected villages Goubangzi and Wangtun Villages affected by land acquisition and house

demolition were surveyed, and the heads, Party branch secretaries and some villagers of the two villages were interviewed, covering the basic information of the affected villages (population, land, per capita net income, etc.), land acquisition and house demolition, disbursement of land compensation fees, development planning, and attitude to and suggestions for the Project.

4.1.1 Overview of Goubangzi Village, and land acquisition and house demolition impacts

Goubangzi Village is located in Goubangzi Town, where most villagers live in communities. At the end of 2009, the village’s population was 4,226, including 2,016 men and 2,210 women; the village has an arable area of 2,703 mu, 0.64 mu per capita, used mainly to grow paddy rice, corn and sorghum, etc. The village has 528 business enterprises that employ 630 persons directly, whose sales revenue was 29 million yuan in 2009. The farmers mostly do business. In 2009, the village’s per capita net income was 8,247 yuan, higher than the other villages of Goubangzi Town and the average level of the town.

201.5 mu of collective land will be acquired, and rural residential houses of 1,128 m2 and premises of 257.8 m2 of one enterprise will be demolished.

By the end of July 2010, land acquisition had been completed, and house demolition was not completed yet.

According to the survey, the villagers knew about the Project several years ago. Since road water-logging is a serious problem in the village, the villagers generally support the Project. The belt park can improve the environment. Since agricultural income is low, the Project can increase farmers’ income.

The village collective has withheld 20% of land compensation fees and will use them for public benefit programs to improve the villagers’ standard of living: 1) The existing land of the village will be rehabilitated, and residential buildings will be constructed for central resettlement; the rehabilitated land will be used to develop tertiary industries whose earnings will be shared among the villagers; 2) The vulnerable groups in the village will be supported; and 3) The villagers will be trained on labor skills by village enterprises.

4.1.2 Overview of Majiahuang (Wangtun) Village, and land acquisition and house demolition impacts

Majiahuang Village has a population of 3,672, including 1,820 men and 1,817 women, and an arable area of 8,197.5 mu, 2.23 mu per capita, used mainly to grow

Page 20: PRC: Liaoning Small Cities and Towns Development

17

paddy rice, corn and sorghum, etc. The Goubangzi Rice and Oil Industrial Zone is located in the village, and hosts 21 rice processing plants and 140 individual businesses, employing 1,000 persons directly. In 2009, the industrial zone’s industrial output value was 148.769 million yuan and tax payment 3.54 million yuan, and the individual businesses’ sales revenue was 1.2 million yuan. In 2009, the village’s per capita net income was 7,450 yuan, lower than the town average.

42.7 mu of collective land will be acquired, affecting 43 households with 159 persons.

By the end of July 2010, land acquisition had been completed. According to the survey, the villagers knew about the Project several years ago.

Since the roads in the village are out of repair and have affected the trip of villagers and even the transport of farm products of some specialized breeding households, reducing the villagers’ income, the villagers support the Project generally. Since agricultural income is low, the Project will provide convenient traffic for the existing rice processing industry and further income the farmers’ income.

The village collective has withheld 20% of land compensation fees and will use them for public benefit programs: 1) Adjust the existing planting structure, with focus on the development of vegetable cultivation; funds from superior authorities will be sought to help the farmers build plastic greenhouses and increase their income; 2) The public infrastructure of the village will be improved; and 3) The vulnerable groups will be supported.

4.2 Sampling survey of affected households

(5) Comparison of annual household income and expenditure In 2009, the total income of the 39 surveyed households was 1,272,079 yuan,

total productive expenses 52,384 yuan, and total net income 1,219,695 yuan; per household net income was 31,274 yuan and per capita net income 7,972 yuan.

See Appendix 7.

4.2.2 Households affected by house demolition 16 residential houses will be demolished for the Project, all being rural residential

houses. 12 households with 39 persons were sampled during the survey, accounting for 75% of all affected households. In terms of house type, 8 households live in single-story houses and 4 live in slab houses; in terms of house structure, 25% of the houses are in masonry concrete structure and 75% in masonry timber structure; in terms of housing area, average housing area is 72.67M2 per household or 22.36 M2 per capita. These houses have an age of 14 to 18 years, 16 years on average (see Appendix 8).

4.3 Survey of affected enterprises One enterprise will be affected, which is an obsolete gas station with a total area

of about 3,200 m2, including a business room of 160 m2, an underground oil tank of 160 m2, residence of 257.8 m2 and an enclosing wall of 24 m2, with the remaining being open space. The land of this gas station has been rented to the Beizhen Hualian Motorcade for parking. This motorcade is headquartered in Jinzhou and has a workforce of 6.

The proprietor of the gas station is Xu XX, who lives in a 3-member family. His son is in university. The family’s annual income is 30,000 yuan and expenditure 15,000 yuan. The family’s standard of living is above average locally. Xu knew that the Project was about to be implemented 2 years ago, and knows much about the compensation policies of the Project. Xu said, as long as the compensation policies were carried through adequately, he would cooperate in house demolition actively; he plans to move to Goubangzi Village in the future (see Appendix 10).

The person responsible and workers of the Beizhen Hualian Motorcade think that the Project will have a far-reaching influence on Goubangzi Town, and support the Project quite a lot. They would rent another open space to park their trucks.

4.4 Vulnerable groups 5 households with 7 persons out of the 295 affected households are covered by

minimum living security. These 5 households are affected by land acquisition mainly. Their per capita arable area was 2 mu before land acquisition and will be 1.4 mu after land acquisition. Presently, the annual minimum living security benefit received by them is 1,300 yuan per capita. The village collectives have reduced or exempted their water costs and waste disposal fees. The external monitoring team suggests that more attention should be paid to these households during project implementation, and priority should be given to them in terms of employment and training.

5 Public participation, complaints and appeals 5.1 Public participation

At every stage of land acquisition and resettlement, the Town PMO and implementing agencies attach great importance to the participation of and consultation with the displaced persons.

At the preparation stage and before commencement of construction, the Town PMO has solicited suggestions and comments about the Project and resettlement from the affected village collectives, enterprises and displaced houses by means of FGD, interview and newspaper, etc., and announced the time of disclosure of the RP.

In April 2009, the Town PMO disclosed resettlement information on the Project and the time of disclosure of the RP on local media, and solicited comments from the public extensively (see Figure 6-1).

Figure 6-1 Resettlement announcement

In September 2009, the Town PMO, Majiahuang Village and Goubangzi Village

committees held a villager FGD to discuss road construction, land acquisition and house demolition.

Figure 6-2 Minutes of meeting held in Majiahuang Village

In March 2010, the Town PMO held a FGD of village and town level leaders again

to introduce the range and compensation rates of land acquisition and house demolition, establish a mechanism of compensation disbursement, and communicate project information to the affected households through the village committees.

Although the Town PMO and implementing agencies have disclosed information on the Project and resettlement in many ways, the resettlement information booklet brochure had not been distributed by the end of July 2010.

5.2 Grievances and appeals A transparent and effective channel of grievances and appeals has been

established in the RP, and communicated to the displaced persons by means of newspaper, FGD and the letter for displaced persons. The displaced persons know the channel of appeal when their rights are infringed on. The appeal hotline is 0416-6652650. No reporting or appeal by any displaced person has occurred to date.

6 Findings and suggestions 6.1 Findings

(1) Implementation progress of the Project As at May 31, 2010, the Town PMO had paid great attention to resettlement and

land acquisition, and done a lot of preparatory work. By the end of July 2010, the resettlement work of the Project had been started, with 244.26 mu of collective land acquired, accounting for 100% of total workload, and houses of 1128 M2 demolished, accounting for 90% of total workload.

(2) Resettlement implementing agencies The resettlement organization has been established, the responsibilities and

duties of all levels defined, the staff and equipment are rationally provided, and the staff has been trained. However, since the Project is the first ADB financed project in Goubangzi Town and the resettlement staff is implementing land acquisition and resettlement for an ADB financed project for the first time, though part of the resettlement staff has participated in the preparation of the Project, and has got a certain understanding of ADB’s safeguard policy and RAP, there are still some deficiencies in policy understanding and resettlement practice. The internal supervision mechanism is to be improved. Presently, internal supervision is implemented by the Goubangzi Town Government, and external monitoring is implemented by NRCR.

(3) Compensation rates During project implementation, the compensation rates for collective land are

consistent with those in the RP; the rate for rural residential houses is 1,270-1,340 yuan/m2, higher than that specified in the RP (1,200 yuan/m2); the compensation rate for business premises is 2,343 yuan/m2 for, higher than that specified in the RP (2,000 yuan/m2).

(4) Income restoration measures Compensation fees for land acquisition have been paid to the affected collectives

of Goubangzi and Majiahuang (Wangtun) Villages. It has been resolved at the village congress that 20% will be withheld by the village collectives, and 80% of the land compensation fees plus the resettlement subsidies and young crop compensation fees will be paid to the affected households. However, the livelihood restoration plans of the affected village collectives had not been started as at July 30, 2010.

(5) House rebuilding As at July 30, 2010, the main part of the resettlement housing of the Project had

been completed, and the supporting facilities were being constructed. The resettlement housing will be available to the affected households in the second half of 2010.

(6) Information disclosure and public participation The resettlement information booklet had not been distributed by July 30, 2010.

However, the Town PMO has disclosed such information to the public timely by means of newspaper, FGD, etc., and the public participation mechanism is sound.

(7) Grievances and appeals The channel of grievances and appeals is smooth. The displaced persons know

the channel of appeal when their rights are infringed on. (8) Baseline survey 1) Land-expropriated rural households: According to the survey of 39

affected households (16% of all affected households), the per capita net income of the 153 persons in these families was 7,972 yuan in 2009. For the 107 persons in 27 affected households in Goubangzi Village, per capita net income was 8,181 yuan in 2009, slightly lower than the village’s average (8,247 yuan per capita). For the 46 persons in the 12 affected households in Majiahuang Village, per capita net income was 7,485 yuan in 2009, slightly higher than the village’s average (7,450 yuan per

Page 27: PRC: Liaoning Small Cities and Towns Development

24

capita). 2) Displaced rural households According to the questionnaire survey of 12 households affected by house

demolition (75% of all affected households), average housing area was 72.67 m2 per household or 22.36 m2 per capita before house demolition.

6.2 Suggestions (1) Approve the RP as soon as possible In early 2010, the Town PMO amended the RP based on ADB’s opinions, and

submitted it to ADB. To ensure the progress of the Project, the external monitoring agency advises ADB to give a formal approval opinion as soon as possible.

(2) Act strictly on the procedures of land acquisition and house demolition, and ensure that ADB’s policies are complied with

The resettlement work of the Project has not been implemented. During implementation, the established procedures should be followed strictly, and issues arising from land acquisition and house demolition handled properly to protect the displaced persons’ lawful rights and interests. If a specialized agency is appointed to conduct land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement, “ensure that the RP approved by ADB is followed” should be added to the resettlement implementation contract.

(3) Strengthen capacity building, and improve the internal management systems

Improve the resettlement organization and strengthen its capacity building to ensure the successful conduct of the next stage of resettlement, and a detailed resettlement schedule for the next stage should be developed. The Town PMO, displacer, house demolition implementing agency, and village committees are advised to establish an internal monitoring mechanism to prepare statistics of and feed back information timely, and solve issues arising from resettlement implementation. Relevant materials should be kept properly during resettlement, and land acquisition and house demolition archives established. The Town PMO shall assign a dedicated person to file and control documents on land acquisition and house demolition timely, and provide basic information for the final acceptance, and M&E of the Project.

(4) Improve the information disclosure system To ensure that the displaced persons fully understand the impacts, resettlement

options, compensation rates, and appeal channel and mechanism of the Project, and protect their right to know, the Town PMO should assist the village committees in explaining relevant information to the displaced persons on the basis of issuing the resettlement information booklet timely, so that every displaced person can understand the information in the booklet, and be fully involved in the Project. In addition, the Town PMO should assist the village committees in disclosing the use of 20% of the land compensation fees, and ensuring that such fees are used through an open and transparent process.

(5) Implement livelihood restoration measures, and pay attention to the skills training for the affected people

For those affected by land acquisition who are to be resettled by cash compensation, the Town PMO is advised to give skills training to them in order that their livelihoods are restored as soon as possible to broaden their employment.

(6) Vulnerable group support The Town PMO is advised to pay more attention to vulnerable households during

land acquisition and house demolition, and give priority to the labor of such households in employment and training.

(7) Accelerate the construction of resettlement housing In order to reduce the impacts of house demolition on the displaced persons, the

Town PMO should urge the construction of the resettlement housing, so that they can move into the resettlement housing as soon as possible.
