1 Summary

1.1 Introduction to the Project and Overview of the RP

1.1.1 Introduction to the Project

According to the development plan of Hubei Province, Yichang City is a sub-provincial central

city, a central city in the middle and upper Yangtze River region, and an important electricity and

tourism city in the world. In order to relieve traffic pressure, the Yichang Municipal Government has

conducted a survey on land utilization for traffic and the city’s traffic system, and developed a

comprehensive municipal traffic development plan, which has been included in the Master

Development Plan of Yichang City (2005-2020). In light of this plan, the Yichang Municipal

Government has identified bus rapid transit (BRT) as the alternative to the light rail system to meet

public transit demand.

The Yichang Sustainable Urban Transport Project (hereinafter, the “Project”) consists of the

BRT and Dongshan Fourth Road component.

1) BRT Component

The BRT corridor begins with the Yiling Coach Station on the north, runs through Yixing Avenue,

Xiazhou Road, Sanxia Road, Ganghong Road, Yemingzhu Road, Dongshan Avenue and Jucheng

Road, and ends at the Yichang East Railway Station on the south, with a full length of 23.60km, and

boundary line widths of 36-50m. It runs through Yiling, Xiling and Wujiagang District, and is one of

the busiest trunk passenger transport corridors in Yichang City.

2) Dongshan Fourth Road

Dongshan Fourth Road is a proposed all-purpose urban trunk road to overcome the immediate

freight transport problems. Dongshan Fourth Road is an urban trunk road designed to expressway

standards, joining Fazhan Avenue and Xianfeng Road. The urban trunk road can be defined in two

segments – eastern and western segments. The western segment commences at the junction of

Mingzhu Road with Fazhan Avenue to the junction with Bolinhe Road. This segment has been

defined as urban expressway. The eastern segment runs from Bolinhe Road to Xianfeng Road and

it has been defined as Class 1 highway. Both segments are designed to a speed of 80 kph. The

auxiliary lanes are designed to 40 kph. Both segments are new roads and are included in the urban

transport master plan of Yichang City. The proposed road works include tunnels, bridges, drainage

system, landscaping, traffic engineering facilities, and street lighting.

The gross investment in the Project is USD347 million, including an ADB loan of USD150

million, accounting for 43%; and a government investment of USD197 million, accounting for 57%.

successful implementation of LA and HD. In order to strengthen the understanding of ADB’s

resettlement policy among the staff of the resettlement agencies, the owner has organized relevant

training. The training included resettlement policies, resettlement planning and implementation and

also. a total of 20 staff participated in. In addition, the resettlement consultant will hold the special

training regarding LAR in March 2015.

2.3 Evaluation of the Institutional Capacity:

The external M&E team investigated the operation of the resettlement agencies. The

investigation shows that the organizational structure for resettlement is sound, the resettlement

agencies are well staffed and equipped, and the relevant staff has been trained. These agencies

have rich experience in local urban village reconstruction, new countryside building, and other

urban construction projects, and are familiar with the applicable domestic regulations.

During project implementation, the resettlement staff has got a certain understanding of ADB’s

safeguard policies and the RP. Dedicated staff is available to compile and file project and

resettlement information, and institutional capacity has been further improved. In addition, the

resettlement agencies have kept their staff stable and improved internal management systems,

Road). Their sites have been fixed, and their construction progress is behind schedule.

The sites of the resettlement communities of Heihushan and Shiban Villages, Yaowan

Xiang, Xiling District have been fixed, where the Heihushan Village resettlement

community is used to resettle the APs from Heihushan Village, located beside Zhongnan

Road, Heihushan Village, and the Shanshuiyuan resettlement community is used to

resettle the APs from Shiban Village, located at the junction of Fazhan Avenue and Wanshi

Road in Shiban Village.

The sites of the resettlement communities of Chezhan, Tumen, Meihua and Lijiatai Villages,

Longquan Town, Yiling District have been fixed, where the Chezhan Village resettlement

community is located in Chezhan Village and used to resettle the APs from the same

village; the Tumen Village resettlement community is located west of Tumen Village and

used to resettle the APs from the same village; Meihua Village resettlement community is

located in the southwest of Meihua Village and used to resettle the APs from the same

village; Lijiatai Village resettlement community is located Lijiatai Village Dongshan Fourth

Road and used to resettle the APs from the same village.

Due to varying construction progress, the transition periods of the affected villages range from 1

year to 4 years. Some AHs choose to rent houses nearby, some choose to rent or borrow empty

houses of their friends or relatives, some live in transitional housing built with the help of village

collectives, and few stay in their former villages.

As described in the previous report, since some APs have lived outside for a long time, their

living expenses are rising, and the transition subsidy already not enough to pay rental, so they

expect a higher subsidy. It was found in this round of M&E that transition subsidies had risen in all

villages, and the APs enjoyed effective living security during the transition period. For example, HD

in Heihushan Village occurred in 2014, and the transition subsidy in Year 1 was 8 yuan/month/m2,

that in Year 2 10 yuan/month/m2, and that in Year 3 and beyond 12 yuan/month/m2. HD in Meihua

Village occurred in 2013, and the transition subsidy during 2013-2015 was 800 yuan/month per

household, that in 2016 6 yuan/month/m2 and that in 2017 7 yuan/month/m2.

According to the survey, the resettlement housing in Shiban, Chezhan and Tumen Villages has

been completed, and all APs have been resettled. The resettlement housing in Heihushan, Meihua

and Lijiatai Villages is still under construction. The construction of the resettlement housing in these

3 villages is behind schedule. See Table 3-3.

with no addition during the period of this report.

3.3.5 Other

1) Hui people’s cemetery

According to the Reply of the Hubei Provincial Development and Reform Commission on the

47

Feasibility Study Report of the Project (HPDRC Approval [2013] No.208), a Hui people’s cemetery

in Dongyuan Administrative Zone will be relocated during the construction of Dongshan Fourth

Road (Fazhan Avenue-Bolinhe Road). The cemetery is close to Zhoujiachong Village in Dongyuan

Administrative Zone, and is a collective Hui people’s cemetery with 213 tombs, a floor area of 8 mu

(collective land), and a building area of 160 m2 (administrative office). The affected Hui people most

live in the urban area of Yichang City in a scattered manner. There are 3,000-4,000 scattered Hui

households in the urban area, and they show no significant difference from Han people. Whether

living centrally or together with Han people, Hui people have their own tomb sites that are closed to

people of other ethnic groups.

On June 4, 2014, the Yichang Municipal Government held a special meeting to study the

relocation of the Hui people’s cemetery. The meeting was chaired by the deputy secretary-general

of the municipal government, and involved representatives from the municipal planning bureau,

ethnic and religious affairs bureau, and Hui people administration committee. The site of the new

Hui people’s cemetery was fixed.

According to the site selection opinion (YSGXZ [2014] No.083), a new Hui people’s cemetery

will be built in Qiaohe Village, Aijia Town, Dianjun District, with a floor area of 50 mu, including 20

mu in Phase 1, and 30 mu reserved for Phases 2 and 3.

To promote the smooth relocation Hui Muslim cemetery and slaughterhouse relocation, from

October 2014 to March 2015, Yichang Municipal Government, Yichang Ethnic Minority Bureau and

YUCID and other agencies organized a series of public participation meetings, covering cemetery

location, and relocation scheme as well. Each meeting invited representatives of Hui people to

participate in order to guarantee their right to know and participation right.

According to the survey, the relocation of the Hui people’s cemetery began in September 2015

and was completed by the end of October 2015.

No grievance or appeal occurred during the period of this report.

2) Design change of BRT Yemingzhu Road and RP update

According to the former design of BRT Yemingzhu Road, only the BRT station segments of

Yemingzhu Road will be broadened to 6 lanes and the remainder will still have 4 lanes. There will be

two stations (Wangzhougang and Changliu Road) on Yemingzhu Road, and their construction will

involve the demolition of urban residential houses and small stores.

Yemingzhu Road will be reconstructed comprehensively according to the master traffic plan of

Yichang City, beginning with the junction of Ganghong Road and Yixing Avenue, and ending at

Dongshan Avenue, with a planned boundary line width of 36m and a full length of 4.35km. The

Jiangjunyan Road segment (Ganghong Road-Yizi Road) will have 6 lanes, and the Yemingzhu

Road extension (Yizi Road-Dongshan Avenue) 10 lanes (4 lanes on the flyover bridge and 6 lanes

on the ground road, including two BRT lanes).

As described in the previous report, HD for the BRT Yemingzhu Road segment had been

completed. Since the resettlement communities are still under construction, some AHs are still at

the transition period. HD involves 3 resettlement communities, in which Beichen Pearl Garden and

Jingchen Pearl Garden had been completed, and all APs resettled; the construction of Sanxia

Garden is 12 months behind schedule, and handover is expected to occur in January 2018.

3) Update of the RP for Dongshan Fourth Road East

By the end of December 2017, LA and HD for the eastern segment of Dongshan Fourth Road

(Bolinhe Road-Xianfeng Road) had been completed. Construction began in December 2016, and is

expected to be completed in 2018 according to the current progress. LA and HD have been largely

completed, and resettlement is underway. See Appendix 6 for details.

Xiling District, Longquan Town, Yiling District, Wujia Xiang, Wujiagang District, and Huya

Sub-district Xiaoting . To date, the demolition of rural residential houses has begun in Xiling and

Yiling s only.

1) Compensation rates for rural residential houses

a) Compensation rates for lawful houses

The compensation rate for lawful houses in masonry concrete structure (Class A) is 700

yuan/m2, that for lawful houses in masonry timber structure (Class A) 630 yuan/m2, that for

decoration in masonry concrete structure 390 yuan/m2, and that for decoration in masonry timber

structure 315 yuan/m2.

49

Compensation for losses due to relocation is 40 yuan/m2, transition subsidy is 8 yuan/m2 for the

first 18 months or 10 yuan/m2 beyond the first 18 months, and attachment compensation is 15,000

yuan per household.

b) Compensation rates for unlawful houses

The compensation rate for lawful houses in masonry concrete structure (Class C) is 500

yuan/m2, that for lawful houses in masonry timber structure (Class C) 400 yuan/m2, that for

2) Resettlement modes for rural residential houses

Lawful rural residential houses have the property rights, and these houses demolished for the

Project may be subject to property swap or cash compensation, and unlawful houses will be subject

to cash compensation only.

The compensation policy and rates for lawful houses are as follows:

a) In case of property swap, resettlement housing will be offered at a size ratio of 1:1, but not

more than 360 m2 in size.

If the per capita size of a demolished lawful house is less than 40 m2, resettlement housing of

not more than 40 m2 per capita will be offered at 700 yuan/m2, which is much lower than local

housing selling prices (3,000-4,000 yuan/m2). If resettlement housing offered is greater than the

size of the demolished lawful house:

i) Any excess size of not more than 10 m2 will be purchased at cost price (2,200 yuan/m2);

ii) Any excess size of 10-20 m2 will be purchased at 1.2 times cost price (2,200 yuan/m2);

iii) Any excess size of 20-30 m2 will be purchased at 1.5 times cost price (2,200 yuan/m2);

iv) Excess size should not exceed 30 m2 in principle; any excess size of over 30 m2 in special

cases will be purchased at twice cost price (2,200 yuan/m2);

If the size of the demolished lawful house is greater than the size of resettlement housing

offered, such excess size will be subject to cash compensation calculated by multiplying the

difference between the cost and purchase prices of resettlement housing (700 yuan/m2 for the

Project) by the applicable compensation rate.

b) In case of cash compensation, the amount of compensation is calculated by multiplying the

difference between the cost and purchase prices of resettlement housing by the applicable

compensation rate.

During the resettlement implementation, incentive subsidies include: a) AHs will be paid 500

yuan per mu if they take the initiative to clear the young crops and ground attachments within

prescribed time limit of land acquisition notification. b) AHs will be paid 5000 yuan if they sign

agreement and hand over houses within the prescribed period of notification requirements.

3.5 Funds and Disbursement

3.5.1 Progress of Fund Disbursement

completed. Construction began in December 2016, and is expected to be completed in 2018.

2) By the end of December 2017, HD for the BRT Yemingzhu Road segment had been

completed. Among the 3 resettlement communities, Beichen Pearl Garden and Jingchen Pearl

Garden had been fully completed, and all APs resettled; the construction of Sanxia Garden is 12

months behind schedule, and handover is expected to occur in January 2018. No grievance or

appeal occurred during the period of this report.

3) The resettlement compensation policies complied with the principles and requirements

specified in the RP, the disbursement procedure of resettlement funds was transparent,

compensation could be paid to the AHs timely, and resettlement was implemented successfully and

sufficient to realize the objectives of resettlement;

4) The fund disbursement procedure was transparent and efficient, and LA and HD

compensation fees had been paid to the AHs timely and fully.

5) Dongshan Fourth Road (Fazhan Avenue-Bolinhe Road) has 6 resettlement sites in total, in

which 3 (Shiban, Chezhan and Tumen Villages) have been handed over, and the construction

progress of the other 3 (Meihua, Lijiatai and Heihushan Villages) is behind schedule.

52

4 Livelihood Restoration and HD Resettlement

4.1 Livelihood Restoration Measures

It is learned that the AHs will not only receive cash compensation timely and fully, but also enjoy

such resettlement measures as employment and skills training.

1) Cash compensation

The compensation rates for acquired rural collective land are based on the Notice of the

Yichang Municipal Government on Uniform AAOV Rates for Land Acquisition of Yichang City (YMG

[2009] No.29), and those for HD based on the Compensation Rates for Demolished Attachments on

Acquired Land in the Urban Area of Yichang City.

At the implementation stage, LA and HD quantities and compensation rates will be determined

in strict conformity with the applicable state, provincial and municipal policies, and compensation

fees paid timely and fully to the AHs for use on education, livelihood improvement, skills training,

etc.

2) Employment

During construction, the Project will generate a large number of jobs to local residents directly,

such as raw material supply and catering services. Such jobs will increase local residents’ income.

In the field survey, the PMO and IAs will inform the leaders of the village committee of the

employment needs. The committee leaders will let the households known immediately through the

village broadcast. The construction unit will give the priority to the affected households and

vulnerable group including women and low income families that they can be the supplement of the

unskilled jobs.

By the end of December 2017, some APs were doing transportation, construction, landscaping

and other relevant unskilled jobs, in which jobs suitable for men included bar setting, formwork,

concrete work, etc., while those suitable for women included landscaping, road cleaning, etc. It is

counted that a total of 152 persons have been engaged by the Project, of which 52 are women,

accounting for 34.21%. See details in Table 4-1. Meihua, Tumen and Chezhan Villages are close to

Sanxia Logistics Park, where many jobs are available to APs.

3) Skills training

In the project area, nonagricultural income accounts for a high proportion to local residents’

gross income, so it is especially important to offer nonagricultural skills training to land-expropriated

farmers to improve their employment skills. All persons affected by LA in the project area may attend

free skills and employment training offered by agencies concerned, covering agricultural and

nonagricultural skills.

53

Since the beginning of 2016, the Yichang PMO has offered training to APs together with the

district labor and social security bureaus twice per annum. By the end of December 2017, one

training session had been offered, involving 806 men-times, including 262 men-times of women

(32.51%). Details are shown in Table 4-2.

5.7 Resettlement Satisfaction Survey

During the sampling survey, the task force also conducted a satisfaction survey to learn the

social and economic effects of resettlement and compensation from the APs’ satisfaction with

compensation and resettlement. 17.39% of the respondents first knew about the Project from a

government leaflet, 60.87% from a village meeting, and 17.39% from neighborhood discussion,

indicating that project publicity and information disclosure is effective.

65.21% of the respondents are satisfied or very satisfied with the DMS results; 43.47% are

satisfied or very satisfied with the LA and HD policies – this figure is relatively low mainly because

the compensation rates are lower than those expected by the APs; 65.21% are satisfied or very

satisfied with their current lives.

It can be seen that the APs are highly satisfied with resettlement.

See Appendix 5.

knowledge; 4) offering construction safety training to construction; and 5) giving publicity on AIDS

prevention to staff and nearby residents.

By the end of December 2017, activities had been conducted for the BRT Component under the

Social Development Action Plan, mainly including: 1) holding a public hearing on fares to fares; 2)

holding a public consulting meeting with local residents to disclose project and BRT information, and

explain the grievance redress mechanism; 3) making jobs first available to local residents, especially

women, where 882 local residents had been employed, including 246 women, accounting for

27.89%, and jobs included driver, official, manager, dispatcher, monitor, station attendant, cleaner,

etc.; 4) training employees on job skills and knowledge; 5) offering construction safety training to

7 Public Participation and Grievance Redress

7.1 Public Participation

At all stages of the Project, the Yichang PMO and IAs attach great importance to public

participation and consultation, collect comments from government agencies, NGOs, communities

and APs extensively, and encourage all stakeholders to take an active part in the Project.

7.1.1 Preparation Stage

At the preparation stage, the Yichang PMO, YUCID, IAs, township governments, and RP

preparation agency carried out various public participation activities, such as community

mobilization and publicity, social survey, planning, which promoted local residents’ awareness of the

Project, compensation rates and resettlement policies.

7.1.2 Implementation Stage

At the implementation stage, the Yichang Municipal Government, YUCID, resettlement

agencies, etc. conducted extensive public participation and consultation, including project

information disclosure, FGD with APs, public hearing on compensation rates, RIB distribution, etc.

1. Project information disclosure

At the beginning of construction of the BRT Component, the Xiling District Government

disclosed information on HD compensation through an announcement, so that the affected

households and store lessees could make preparations accordingly. A construction announcement

was also posted on the construction site during the construction of the BRT Yemingzhu Road

segment.

Figure 6-1 Construction announcement of the BRT Yemingzhu Road segment

2. Project publicity

Media coverage is an important means of project publicity. The BRT Component has been put

into trial operation except the Yemingzhu Road segment. For the issues that emerged at this stage,

such as inadequate sign setup and irrational bus routing, the BRT construction headquarters has

asked the construction agency to take corrective measures as soon as possible. In addition, the

government and the design agency have set up various channels to receive comments and

suggestions from the public for further improvement.

60

Figure 6-2 Media Coverage of BRT

The trial operation of BRT aroused a green reform of urban transport in Yichang City, and led to

extensive public participation. Relevant reports are widely available on online and print media.

It is learned that project information is well disclosed, and the level of public participation is high.

Some concerns the APs have been addressed properly by village collectives, such as construction

noise and access roads. The PMO and the owner have not received any grievance.

The external M&E consultant confirmed that the adequate public participation and grievance

redress mechanisms of the Project played a great role during resettlement. The PMO and IA were

suggested to continue to record the appeal and complaint information, put the file in order

immediately, and to solve the problems properly.

8. Findings and Suggestions

8.1 Key Findings

1) Resettlement progress

By the end of December 2017, the LA and HD work in the 6 villages affected by Dongshan

Fourth Road West had been completed, compensation 100% paid, and resettlement underway. The

resettlement housing in Shiban, Tumen and Chezhan Villages had been handed over, while that in

Heihushan, Meihua and Lijiatai Villages was still under construction, all behind schedule.

The BRT Component (except the Yemingzhu Road segment) under construction involves

neither LA nor resettlement. By the end of December 2017, the demolition of urban residential

houses and small stores involved in the Yemingzhu Road segment, and compensation therefor had

been completed. HD involves 3 resettlement communities, in which Beichen Pearl Garden and

Jingchen Pearl Garden had been completed, and all APs resettled; the construction of Sanxia

Garden is 12 months behind schedule, and handover is expected to occur in January 2018.

The construction of the eastern segment of Dongshan Fourth Road (Bolinhe Road-Xianfeng

Road) began in December 2016, and is expected to be completed in 2018. LA and HD have been

largely completed, and resettlement is underway. See Appendix 6 for details.

2) Resettlement organization

As the owner of the Project, YUCID is responsible for all aspects of the Project and has the

overall responsibility to ensure the RP is being implemented effectively. The district governments

are responsible for LA, HD, resettlement housing construction, resettlement, etc. within their

respective jurisdictions.

The organizational structure for resettlement is sound. The resettlement agencies are well

staffed and equipped, and have played a good organizing and coordinating role in resettlement

implementation. However, training, file management and internal supervision should be

strengthened.

3) File management

By the end of December 2017, the PMO, owner and IAs had prepared resettlement statistics

timely, including LA and HD quantities, AHs, affected population, compensation and payment, etc.

File management has been improving, and sound file management systems have been established.

In addition, the task force has learned that all documents related to LA, HD and resettlement,

including agreements, have been sorted out, indexed and kept properly.

4) Information disclosure and public participation

According to the survey, most of the respondents are aware of the Project, and 100% of them

support the Project and expect the Project to be implemented as soon as possible. The IAs have

disclosed project information timely and fully to the public by means of announcement, Internet,

newspaper, FGD and village meeting. The public participation mechanism is sound and the RIB has

been distributed.

5) Grievance redress

A transparent and effective grievance redress mechanism has been established during

resettlement implementation. The APs may file appeals with YUCID, the district or township

government, and village committee, or bring a suit in the people’s court. By the end of December

2017, no grievance or appeal occurred had occurred.

According to the follow-up survey, the AHs are highly satisfied with compensation and

resettlement for LA and HD.

64

8.2 Suggestions

1) Accelerate resettlement communities' construction

By the end of December 2017, the resettlement communities of 3 villages (Heihushan, Meihua

and Lijiatai) had not been completed, and the relevant APs were still during the transition period.

The IAs should accelerate construction progress in coordination with the agencies concerned to

ensure that these communities are completed and the APs are resettled on schedule.

The PMO should pay close attention to the construction progress of Sanxia Garden, which is 12

months behind schedule. Its construction should be accelerated to ensure that the AHs are

resettled successfully.

2) Continuing to pay attention to the production and livelihood restoration of the APs

The APs may become distressed due to the improper use of compensation fees and long

transition periods. The resettlement agencies are advised to pay attention to their needs, solve

issues timely, establish a database of the APs (including contact information), and track their

production and livelihood restoration regularly to ensure that the objectives of resettlement are

realized.

Key points

and findings

1) Community construction was completed in November 2017, and the water, electricity and landscaping works are under construction, and expected to be completed by the end of February 2018.

Handover will occur in September 2018. 2) Transition subsidies are paid on schedule, and all AHs still live in rented houses. HD occurred in 2013, and the transition subsidy during 2013-2015 was 800 yuan/month per household, that in 2016 6 yuan/month/m2 and that in 2017 7 yuan/month/m2.

3.7 Resettlement Satisfaction Survey During the sampling survey, the task force also conducted a satisfaction survey to learn the

social and economic effects of resettlement and compensation from the APs’ satisfaction with

60

compensation and resettlement. 10.53% of the respondents first knew about the Project from a government leaflet, 52.63% from a village meeting, and 34.21% from neighborhood discussion, indicating that project publicity and information disclosure is effective.

84.21% of the respondents are satisfied or very satisfied with the DMS results; 76.31% are satisfied or very satisfied with the LA and HD policies; 76.31% are satisfied or very satisfied with their current lives.

It can be seen that the APs are highly satisfied with resettlement. See Appendix 6-4. 4. Public participation and grievance redress During implementation, YUCIH, the IA, township governments and village committees

conducted extensive public participation activities, such as community mobilization and publicity, social survey, promoting policy awareness. During construction, extensive public participation and consultation was conducted, and construction bulletins posted at the construction site.
