15 3 Implementation Progress of RP 3.1 Preparation for Resettlement Preparation for Resettlement Quarter Preparation of resettlement quarter There are 86 AHs totally for Chongqing Road and North Xihuan Road works, most of them choose replacement of property rights, and 18 HHs cash compensation. Yining City Government will set up a resettlement quarter in the area around Railway Station of Yining City, and the area of the buildings for replacement will be m2 for the AHs on Chongqing Road and North Xihuan Road. The resettlement quarter is 2.5km away from Elementary School of Hanbin Township, 3km from Yining Elementary School No.24, 3km from Yining Middle School No.3 and 3km from Yili Prefectural Mother and Child Health Care, which makes education and medical service convenient for the residents. At present, the resettlement quarter is under construction, and it is estimated to be completed in the first half of According to the planning, the rebuilt Shandong Road is still in Hanbin Township, and the resettlement quarter for the relocating HHs for Chongqing Road and North Xihuan Road works is located on the boundary between Hanbin Township and Dadamutu Township; comparing with the originally-planned resettlement quarter on Lane I of Gongyuan Street, current resettlement quarter favors more the convenience of production and maintenance of original social relation, and line with ADB s philosophy for maintaining the relocating HHs original production and living style as much as possible. Comparing with the residential quarters in urban area, the households here have a much larger floor space for their house and courtyard, and the villagers enjoy much higher living level than before Preparation for relocating gas station The concrete plan for rebuilding the gas station of Corps Petroleum Company is: to demolish 1 single-story building of business purpose at east side of the gas station, and rebuild the office and refueling unit of the gas station there. 9

See details in Table 3-5. Comparing with the original standard, the new one reduces compensation fund for cultivated land and garden plot but there is no change to the compensation fund for woodland and wasteland. See details in Table 3-5. The basis for the new standard is: the original compensation standard for cultivated land is calculated based on the output value of special-type crops, but actually planted crops are grain crops, thus the basis for original compensation standard is not correct and the calculated compensation amount is on the high side and inconsistent with the actuality. Besides, in the explanation of land compensation standard plan issued by Land Resource Bureau of Yining City in March 2007 specifies further that the original standard of RP is a tentative standard. For the actual land requisition in 2010, according to the actual living level and land use practice in the affected area, Land Resource Bureau of Yining City negotiated with AHs and determines that the updated output value standard is: cultivated land at yuan/mu, garden plot at yuan/mu, woodland at 3600 yuan/mu, and wasteland at 3600 yuan/mu. Therefore, the actual compensation standard for the first half of 2010 is calculated on the basis of updated output value and compensation multiple in the project area, and the land compensation standard of different land types is determined, 13

20 i.e. the actual compensation is 10 times of the updated annual output value.

According to the demand of actual road works, the number of HHs suffering from relocation on Chongqing Road and North Xihuan Road is increased to 104 HHs.

According to Resettlement Plan the housing compensation standard for resettlement will be determined during the actual implementation process with the reference to the appraisal of real estate and replacement price of local houses of the same kind in 2007; the compensation price of house demolition will be finally made after a local valuation by a real estate appraisal and mapping company. The final compensation price will be negotiated between the relocating agency and the relocated and agreed with each affected household on the basis of such prices and the assessment standard of 2007 provided by Real Estate Bureau of Yining City; the specific compensation 17

24 standard is: brick-concrete structure at 700 yuan/m 2, brick-wood structure at 600 yuan/m 2, and earth-wood structure at 450 yuan/m 2. In order to keep in line with the housing compensation for local houses of the same kind during the project implementation in 2010, after a local valuation by a real estate appraisal and mapping company, the final compensation price is negotiated and agreed between the relocating agency and the relocated and agreed with each affected household, i.e. brick-concrete structure at 560 yuan/m 2, brick-wood structure at 500 yuan/m 2, and earth-wood structure at 415 yuan/m 2.

No small business shop is involved in Chongqing Road and North Xihuan Road 18

25 4 Public participation, Complain and Grievance 4.1 Public participation According to the policies, laws and regulations of the state, the Autonomous Region and Yining City about land requisition, housing demolition and resettlement, the Project attaches importance to public participation and negotiation during the establishment of RP policies and the preparation of action plan, protecting the lawful rights and interests of the relocating HHs and enterprise and hearing the opinions of the affected sample HHs in order to reduce complain and dispute. As regards the implementation of the Project in the first half of 2010, 103 sample HHs are investigated in the form of household investigation with questionnaire, and 78 valid questionnaires or 75.73% are collected. See Tables 4-1 for the summary: (1) 98.77% of sample HHs confirm: the sample HHs themselves verify the quantity of the house to be demolished and the land to be expropriated. (2) 52.29% of sample HHs know the information about RP and EMDP when someone came to my house for investigation, and some other sample HHs know that through bulletin and the publicity of neighborhood committee etc. (3) As regards income restoration measures in RP, 98.11% of sample HHs know cash compensation measures, and 16.42% knows training measures. Since the restoration measures such as adjustment of industrial structure, developing animal husbandry and tourism etc. are governmental behavior without little direct impact on the sample HHs, the residents pay little attention to them. (4) 35% of AHs know the policy about EM participation into the project construction, 16% EM training and 16% subsidies for EM vulnerable groups. (5) 77.61% of sample HHs did not participate in technical or skill trainings, and only small part of them participate in training for 1-3 times. Due to difference in the household income types of sample HHs, the residents having similar training demand could participate into the relevant trainings. (6) As regards training content, Chinese language training sees the highest percent up to 49.41%, and the trainings like breeding, planting and hospitality skills all are 19

26 about 20%. 4.2 Complain and Grievance (1) Channels of public express an opinion % of sample HHs have a habit of reflecting any problem to neighborhood committee, village leader, town or the City. Only 7.89% reflect the problem to the employer of the Project. Because the sample HHs think it is convenient to reflect the problem to the village, town or city. (2) Complain about RP implementation. More than 90% of sample HHs never complain; there is little complain about land requisition, compensation or housing demolition, and the complain occurs when there is any difference between the actual compensation amount and the compensation expected by the sample HHs. 4.3 Public Satisfaction (1) Satisfaction on registration and measurement of kind (housing and land area). With the findings, 15.19% of sample HHs are satisfied, 68.2% so-so, 15.19% not satisfied for the difference from the expectation value of AHs. (2) Satisfaction on compensation policies % of sample HHs are satisfied with compensation policies (land and housing compensation standard, subsidy for vulnerable groups), 31.6% so-so, and 6.67% not satisfied for the same reason stated in Item 1. (3) Satisfaction on fulfillment of compensation policies % of sample HHs are satisfied, 33.33% so-so, and only 4.94% not satisfied for the same reason stated in Item 1. (4) Satisfaction on living environment % of sample HHs are satisfied or so-so, and only 1.88% not satisfied.

30 5 Conclusion and Suggestion 5.1 Conclusion (1) Comparing with 2009, PMO and the relevant IAs such as Land Resource Bureau and Construction Bureau are of high work efficiency in project management, land requisition, housing demolition and compensation etc. (2) The procedures of land requisition and housing demolition are tested and evaluated, and the implementation procedures are reasonable and lawful. (3) The compensation fund for housing demolition and land requisition is fulfilled in time and satisfies the requirements of RP on funds. In the first half of 2010, the relocating HHs on Chongqing Road (Hanbin Village) and North Xihuan Road (Bulake Village) received in full the compensation fund for resettlement, and the expropriated collectively-owned land on Chongqing Road (Hanbin Village) is compensated in full, too. (4) The actual compensation standard for housing demolition and land requisition is lower than that described in the original RP, but the actual one is in line with local actuality. (5) The evaluation of housing value is completed by a competent real estate consulting firm on commission by Construction Bureau of Yining City; the evaluation results are in line with local actuality, and justice, publicity and fairness are presented during the evaluation course. 5.2 Problem Found Out during Monitoring and Suggestion Problems (1) For the income restoration measures, the residents know cash compensation rather than other measures. (2) Good information communication and transmission channels are wanted. The dossier related to RP fails to be filed up in time. The investigation finds that the original data related to RP, including land requisition, housing demolition and cash compensation fail to be filed up in time; there are some data in the aggregate with a lack of some detailed data. 24

31 5.2.2 Suggestion (1) To strengthen publicity to AHs and make them understand more about the content related to their vital interest in RP: income restoration measures. (2) To establish t statistic report system of project implementation progress, and a complete set of RP route file. All data related to RP shall be submitted to the PMO by the departments concerned periodically for unified management. PMO shall classify, process and bind the data semiannually and set up electronic archive and text archive. (3) During the project implementation, PMO shall play the role of supervisor and supervise all relevant IAs to summarize and submit relevant data in time for unified management of data information related to implementation progress. 25
