3. Project Resettlement Progress 3.1. Resettlement impact

30 In August 2016, Fukang municipal people’s government approved the resettlement

plan and budget, and in January 2017, ADB approved the resettlement plan, the website

is: https://www.adb.org/sites/default/files/linked-documents/49029-002-rpab-01.pdf.

31 in December 2017, Fukang PMO has completed the resettlement update work of

ecological restoration subproject and approved by ADB. The approved and updated

resettlement report is available on the ADB website, the website is ：

https://www.adb.org/sites/default/files/project-documents/49029/49029-002-rp-en_0.pdf.

32 In August 2019, Fukang PMO has completed the update of resettlement plan of the

road engineering, the urban public pipe network and the vocational education project and

the RP has been approved by ADB. The approved and updated RP is available on the ADB

website, the website is: https://www.adb.org/sites/default/files/project-

documents/49029/49029-002-rp-en_2.pdf.

33 A working group on resettlement was formed by Fukang Housing and Urban-rural

Construction Bureau, NRB, HDO and relevant personnel from the affected

subdistricts/towns.

34 Because the construction of the project involves land acquisition (LA) and house

demolition (HD), it will affect the residents. Land acquisition (LA) and house demolition (HD)

of the project will affect 3 towns (Chengguan town, Shanghugou village, Sangong village),

6 villages (Yuergou, Huangyakeng, Tougong, Banganliang, Baiyanghe, Sigong), and 1424

people from 263 households will be affected, in which 1254 persons from 224 households

are ethnic minorities, accounting for 88% of the total affected persons (APs). 33

households with 141 members are affected by HD only (including ethnic minorities for 8

HHs with 40 persons). 230 HHs with 1283 persons are affected by LA only (28 HHs with

145 persons affected by cultivated land acquisition, including ethnic minorities for 14 HHs

with 76 persons). Ecological restoration project will affect in total of 28 grazing groups with

1138 people from 202 households (all these people are Kazak).

population, so the population of these 3 age groups is the main part of the labor force. (see figure 4-2)

Figure 4-2: Age distribution of Affected People

53 Based on the survey, many male family members over 60 and female over 55 are still engaged

in social work. However, the definition of actual labor force should be defined in the section of 16 to 65

years old male and 16 to 60 years old female, who have stopped school education. According to this,

the total number of labor force accounts for more than 80% of people surveyed.

4.2.3. Education

54 Among the APs, junior high school degree accounts for 43.45%; high school / technical

secondary school degree for 24.45%, elementary school degree for 20.31%, and senior high school

or even more higher education degree for 31.88%. From the figure we found that, the lower education

degree (primary school) and the high education degree (junior college) people accounted a little

proportion; In the total proportion of 15.94% of the elderly, Illiteracy is only 1.53%, and the junior high

school people accounted for the most; at the same time, for APs with degree of secondary and higher

education, the proportion of female slightly higher than that of male about 1.09%, while for junior

college degree and above, male’s is higher 1.75% than female’s. These statistics show that female’s

education degree improved in the affected area, and it needs to be kept paying more attention to

female's rights in implementation of the project, as well as to employment skills training for female.

The main situation:

1. Interviewee: Geng Huancheng, male, 64 years old, Han nationality, a villager of Tougong village, Chengguan

town. There are 5 persons in his family, his wife is 63 years old, his son is 36 years old, his daughter-in-law is 35

years old, and his grandson is 7 years old. The family income source mainly is from the salary that the son and

daughter-in-law go out to work, and he still work in the village, the economic condition is good, with annual income

of 130,000 yuan, in addition, his wife has pension and gets more than 200 yuan of pension every month from

government; Due to the overall planning and development of Fukang city, most of the farmland in Tougong village

has been expropriated in 2012. At present, his land under cultivation is very little. Most of the land is transferred or

rented to local enterprises and large farmers for cultivation. His son and daughter-in-law work outside on weekdays

and come back home on weekends. He works near the village and go back home every afternoon. His wife does

cook and takes care of the grandchildren at home every day. The cost is about 15,000 yuan every year, mainly

including water charge, electric charge and living expenses. What this project demolish is an old house. He hopes to

choose monetary compensation after the demolition of the house. He will move to the newly built house in the village

in 2012. After he get the compensation, he can take part of the compensation to decorate the new house, and the

rest of the compensation can be used to select a better kindergarten for his grandson who is ready to go to school.

As long as the compensation can be timely and reasonable payment.

2. Now the living standard is better, most of the villagers have cars, the roads have been repaired, and it is convenient

for the villagers to travel, so we support the road construction very much. As long as our rights and interests can be

effectively protected in accordance with national policies and make reasonable compensation and resettlement, we

are willing to participate in the project construction.

Attitude towards the project:

1. The road upgrading has facilitated our travel.

2. The dust will be much less after the road was constructed, which is beneficial to the health of the villagers.

3. Road construction is a good thing for the people, and we support it. However, the compensation for house

demolition should be reasonable, and the government should fully consider the interests of the people and

formulate a reasonable compensation scheme.
