1. Project profile and reason for update of RAP

1.1 Project introduction

The World Bank Financed Xiangyang Urban Transport Project is a key construction

project of Xiangyang City. The project content includes building and improving the

trunk road network in Panggong Subdistrict, improving urban public transport facilities

and enhancing the capability of traffic management organizations. This project aims to

establish a complete traffic network system in Panggong Subdistrict, promote the

development of this district, improve the public transport system of Xiangyang City,

enhance the capability of traffic management organizations and improve traffic control.

Xiangyang Urban Transport Project consists of four sub-projects: (1) Public transport

sub-project; (2) Urban roads sub-project; (3) Traffic management sub-project; (4)

Institutional development and capacity building sub-project.

In project preparation stage in 2011, the Project Management Office drafted the

Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) and the Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) based

on components of the project and land acquisition and house demolition involved in all

sub-projects. See Table 1-1 for project components and corresponding resettlement

documents.

The RAP of the project was approved by the Municipal People’s Government of

Xiangyang City in November 2011 and it was officially approved by the World Bank

in the same month. The project entered the implementation stage on August 2012 when

a loan agreement was signed between China’s Ministry of Finance and the World

Bank.

1.2 Reason for update of RAP

Since the project was started in 2012, major progress of land acquisition and house

demolition has been made in Zhakou 2nd Road and Xianshan Bus Maintenance Station.

As reported by the independent monitoring organization, the progress as of October

2015 is analyzed as follows:

● Construction of Zhakou 2nd Road was started in 2012 and it was opened to traffic in

late March 2014, but in a 150m length of the road, only temporary relief road was open

to traffic due to unfinished house demolition. House demolition required by Zhakou 2nd

Road totals 37928.22m2. In this total quantity, house demolition on state-owned land is

12122.95m2, which has been completely finished; house demolition on collective land is

25805.27m2, of which 25305.27m2 has been finished, accounting for 98%. Land

acquisition required by Zhakou 2nd Road totals 220mu and has been completely

6

finished. The unfinished part of house demolition is Mr. Shen Quanfu’s private house at

Hexin Village. Till now, no agreement has been reached between Mr. Shen Quanfu and

the project headquarters. So Zhakou 2nd Road hasn’t been completely open to traffic.

● As for Xianshan Bus Maintenance Station in public transport sub-project, land

acquisition agreement has been signed, construction site has been enclosed, and project

design has been started. Bus Maintenance Station in Xiangyang Economic Development

Zone requires no land acquisition and the construction has been basically completed.

In 2015, according to the actual progress and other aspects of the project, the World

Bank and the Project Management Office made mid-term adjustments and

rearrangements to project content. On the aspect of resettlement, modification of the

RAP mainly includes: 1) Relocation of Xianshan Bus Maintenance Station and bus

terminal at railway station; 2) Xingguang Avenue was extended southward by 1.14km

and its boundary line was adjusted from 80m to 70m; 3) Panggong Road was extended

from original 3.3km to 3.58km.

Given the mid-term adjustment of project content, especially long-time stagnation of

resettlement site construction in Zhakou 2nd Road sub-project since 2012 and a series of

resettlement policy changes in 2016, the World Bank requires the project management

organization to update the RAP to explain project adjustments and new resettlement

policies. That’s why this version of RAP is developed.

2. Project impact

2.1 Affected area

The affected area is completely located at Panggong Subdistrict, Xiangcheng District,

Xiangyang City. Zhakou 2nd Road and Xianshan Bus Maintenance Station are not

covered by this chapter because land acquisition and house demolition have been

finished in the two sub-projects. After mid-term adjustment of project components, four

sub-projects require land acquisition and house demolition, with affected villages

(neighborhoods) listed in the table below.

4 Extension of Panggong Road Sunjiaxiang, Panggong, Tujiaxiang, Yangjiahe

2.2 Impact of land acquisition

After mid-term adjustment, land acquisition involves mainly collective land in the four

sub-projects. Housing and Urban-rural Construction Bureau of Xiangcheng District and

the land and resources organ carried out a detailed land survey for Xingguang Avenue,

Jianghua Road and the Extension of Panggong Road. A detailed survey report has been

submitted. Land acquisition of the three roads total 1078.87mu, including 732.40mu

cultivated land. Since Xiangyang Road sub-project keeps unchanged, the survey at

project preparation stage shows that land acquisition of this sub-project includes

76.33mu cultivated land and 114.49mu non-cultivated land. Therefore, after mid-term

adjustment, the project requires a total of 1269.69mu land acquisition, including

808.73mu cultivated land and 460.96mu non-cultivated land. See Table 2-2 for land

acquisition quantity of all sub-projects.

3.2 Compensation rate for requisitioning state-owned land

The project involves a small quantity of state-owned land. A qualified and experienced

appraisal agency is engaged to assess the involved state-owned land and determine the

compensation rate on the basis of the standard land price of urban area of Xiangfan City

published by the People’s Government of Xiangfan City.

According to the professional assessment results provided by the appraisal agency, in

Xingguang Avenue sub-project, the compensation rate is 2289 Yuan/m2 for commercial

land, 1467 Yuan/m2 for residential land and 580 Yuan/m2 for industrial land; In

Xiangyang Road sub-project, the compensation rate is 1944 Yuan/m2 for commercial

land, 1198 Yuan/m2 for residential land and 567 Yuan/m2 for industrial land.

3.3 Policy for demolishing buildings on state-owned land

In scope of the project, the demolished walls, sheds and gate houses etc. on state-owned

land under the ownership of enterprises and organizations shall be compensated in

16

currency and shall be restored by the enterprises or organizations by themselves; the

demolished residential houses on state-owned land are provided with two methods, i.e.

monetary compensation and offer of resettlement house, for choice of the affected

households.

Compensation rate for demolished buildings on state-owned land is composed of local

land price and house replacement price.

Local land price is decided by a qualified appraisal agency on basis of the standard land

price of urban area published by the People’s Government of Xiangfan City.

The criteria of house replacement price is given as follows: for frame structure, the

replacement price is 1300-2000 Yuan/m2 when it has more than 10 storeys, 1300

Yuan/m2 when it has 7-10 storeys, and 1200 Yuan/m2 when it has six or less storeys; for

brick-concrete structure, it is 902 Yuan/m2 for class A, 812 Yuan/m2 for class B, 731

Yuan/m2 for class C and 657 Yuan/m2 for class D; for brick-wood structure, it is 812

Yuan/m2 for class A, 650 Yuan/m2 for class B, 520 Yuan/m2 for class C and 416

Yuan/m2 for class D.

Compensation for interior and exterior decoration shall be decided by the appraisal

agency by considering the materials and quality.

3.4 Policy for demolishing buildings on collective land

In the project, the demolished houses on collective land are provided with two

compensation methods, i.e. monetary compensation and property right exchange, for

choice of the affected persons.

1. Monetary compensation

When the expropriated person chooses monetary compensation, he or she shall be

compensated according to the appraised market value of the demolished house.

2. Property right exchange

When the expropriated person chooses the method of property right exchange, the

revertible area shall be 33m2 per person. If the expropriated person requires monetary

compensation corresponding to the revertible area, compensation rate shall be decided

17

according to the market price of commodity houses at location area of the demolished

house on issue date of house expropriation announcement. After that, the part exceeding

the revertible area shall be appraised and compensated according to the Management

Measures for Expropriation of Buildings, Structures and Ground Attachments on

Collective Land at Urban Area of Xiangyang City. If the area of the resettlement house

chosen by the expropriated person is larger than the revertible area, the price difference

for the excess area shall be paid by the expropriated person. If the excess area is within

20 square meters, it shall be paid at comprehensive cost price of the resettlement house;

if the excess area is greater than 20 square meters, the part beyond 20 square meters

shall be compensated at market price.

If any demolished house on collective land is under ownership of a collective economic

organization, enterprise or public institution, monetary compensation shall be used.

Main compensation policies are explained as follows:

1. Demolished house appurtenances and auxiliary facilities shall be appraised by the

appraisal agency and compensated by method of monetary compensation according to

compensation rate specified by relevant document. Compensation rate for interior and

exterior decoration shall be decided by the appraisal agency and paid by method of

monetary compensation. Buildings, already started but not finished with construction

permit, shall be compensated at the appraisal price. Illegally constructed buildings will

be demolished with no compensation.

2. Compensation amount for the expropriated house shall be decided by the appraisal

agency by considering construction area, structure, classification and other factors.

3. If the expropriated person arbitrarily changes the house from residential purpose to

business (production) purpose but has obtained business license, tax registration

certificate and other legitimate procedures before issue date of house expropriation

4 Implementation Plan for Resettlement and

Rehabilitation

4.1 Objective, method and principle of resettlement and

rehabilitation

4.1.1 Objective

According to the policies of the World Bank and state laws and regulations on

involuntary resettlement, the general objective of the World Bank Financed Xiangyang

Urban Transport Project focuses on recovering and improving the living standard and

production of both affected people and affected enterprises and public institutions as

soon as possible. The detailed objectives are:

Affected demolished households will be well resettled and get monetary

compensation in accordance with the criteria of replacement cost or rebuilt

resettlement houses, thus making their living quality and environment recover to or

exceed the level before relocation.

Compensate for attachments to all kinds of affected land as per their replacement

prices.

Compensate for public structures and specialized facilities as per their replacement

prices and recover them to according to the original criteria.

The production work of enterprises and public institutions will not be affected; no

labor force will loss job permanently because of the impact on their units.

Recover the public utilities and environment of affected communities to the level

before relocation and strive for improvement.

Well resettle affected labor forces, guarantee their long-term livelihood and

improve their living standards; no farmer will loss job permanently because of the

land acquisition.

30

4.1.2 Methods

The resettlement and rehabilitation of affected people involves in two aspects: living

and production.

The resettlement and rehabilitation of living focuses on the relocation and rebuilding of

houses and rehabilitation of living ancillary facilities, mainly including the following

aspects:

Give monetary compensation to relocated families or provide resettlement houses

for those who choose resettlement apartment.

Equip and improve the infrastructures concerning water and power supply.

The resettlement and rehabilitation of production focuses on placement of affected labor

forces and rebuilding of production facilities, including the following aspects:

Resettle the affected rural people and ensure their long-term livelihood.

Recover the facilities and conditions for production and operation of production

units.

4.1.3 Principle

● Affected people take part in the whole resettlement.

When it comes to such issues as the compensation rates of houses and facilities, choices

of resettlement location, schedule of demolishing and recovering, fund appropriation,

usage and management of resettlement funds, methods to recover production and

operation, etc., there must be participation of and consultation with affected people or

representatives for agreements. The consultation with affected people will be conducted

by means of symposium with representatives and conference with affected residents or

villagers.

● All kinds of compensation for private person will be granted to the property owner

completely and directly without being withheld and misappropriated by any units or

individuals.

● Compensation for houses, specialized facilities and attachments will be calculated as

per their replacement prices. The quantity for compensation cannot be detained,

31

depreciated and taxed. The compensation of property owners must be in accordance

with public compensation rates. All possessions of the original structures belong to the

property owner and the compensation price cannot deduct the scrap value of the

remained materials after relocation.

● Assist and care for vulnerable groups.

Give priority to vulnerable families when coming to preferred option of rebuilding

resettlement houses, supplying resettlement house information and granting

qualifications to buy low-rent houses and economically affordable houses; vulnerable

families enjoy priority in getting the job opportunities during implementation process

and service network in resettlement site.

4.2 Resettlement of relocated households

In project preparation stage, the RAP, on basis of investigation, proposed three ways of

resettlement, i.e. monetary resettlement, economically affordable houses and centralized

resettlement sites. Since construction progress of resettlement site in Zhakou 2nd Road

sub-project lags far behind the expectation and the supply and demand relation of real

estate market in Xiangcheng District has greatly changed in recent years, especially

after a series of new compensation methods for expropriated houses and appurtenances

on collective land were adopted in shantytown reconstruction project at southern

Xiangyang Urban area in 2015, monetary resettlement is more attracting. During May to

October of 2015, the Resettlement Office of Xiangyang Urban Transport Project and the

Housing and Urban-rural Construction Office of Xiangcheng District carried out an

investigation among the house-demolished persons in Xingguang Avenue and Jianghua

Road sub-projects to be started soon to know their preferred resettlement methods, and

it found that nearly 70-80% of them tended to choose monetary resettlement. Based on

their opinions and requirements, the Project Management Office decides to focus on

monetary resettlement, supplemented by centralized resettlement site after mid-term

adjustment.

1) Monetary resettlement

The field survey of resettlement shows that the area this project covers is all located in

the suburban area and has gradually integrated into the urban area in recent years with

32

the development of urban construction. During a long period in the past, rural area has

little control over the area of resident houses, so the resident houses usually have large

area. Each of the affected households in this survey averagely possesses brick and

concrete houses 250.2m2 and brick and wood houses 51.3 m2. 60 percent of these

households have an area over 350 m2 and the largest area amounts to 982 m2. This is to

say, every household possesses an area of structure over 300 m2. Besides, this data is

only calculated within the scope of red line and we are sure that the actual living area of

affected households exceeds 300m2. Therefore, it doesn’t affect the actual living of

some relocated households that part of the houses are demolished and they are not

necessarily need resettlement houses. If these households choose monetary

compensation, Xiangyang Construction Investment Management Co., Ltd will conduct

monetary compensation for them according to their aspiration by granting passbooks

directly to relocated households.

2) Centralized resettlement site

In the second half of 2015, Xiangyang Construction Investment Management Co., Ltd

started the construction of plot-A2 resettlement site and Sujiayuan Resettlement Site.

Plot-A2 resettlement site locates near South Ring Road, easily accessible, near to the

neighborhood where the relocated households lived before. According to the design

plan, this resettlement site has a total construction area of 60,000 square meters and it

can provide 430 resettlement houses. Sujiayuan resettlement site, locating in the middle

of Zhakou 2nd Road, has a total construction area of about 17,000 square meters, and it

can provide 225 resettlement houses. An PMO officer said that the relocated households

in Xingguang Avenue, Panggong Road, Xiangyang Road and Jianghua Road sub-

projects and the households that are not resettled in Sujiayuan site in Zhakou 2nd Road

sub-project will be included in plot-A2 site. Construction of both sites have been

commenced, with a construction period of 18 months. The resettlement houses are

expected to be delivered in March 2017.

33

Figure 4-1 Construction of plot-A2 resettlement site has been commenced.

Figure 4-2 Sujiayuan resettlement site is under construction.

34

4.3 Resettlement of affected farmers

According to the survey, all of the requisitioned collective-owned cultivated land is

vegetable field in the project. According to the resettlement field survey, the acquisition

has the following characteristics: small in requisitioned absolute area, but enormous in

affected households; the area of requisitioned vegetable field of every household is less

than 0.5mu. There isn’t any household whose vegetable field is all requisitioned. The

vegetable supply of affected families is not affected by the land acquisition of this

project.

The staffs of Xiangyang Construction Investment Management Co., Ltd and the

resettlement advisory unit, Center for Involuntary Resettlement of Wuhan University

conduct door-to-door interviews and survey on families with land acquisitioned, which

shows in the affected area most families plant the vegetables for their own use on the

affected vegetable fields and few sell the vegetables in the pedlar’s market nearby when

there is excess. The survey also found some vegetable fields are abandoned. Generally

speaking, 85 percent of the incomes of affected families come from non-agricultural

production and management, so an acquisition of less than 0.5 mu of vegetable field

will hardly impact on the real income of affected families.

During the survey of resettlement, we solicit the opinions of families with land

acquisitioned about the resettlement ways after land acquisition, among which 90

percent propose to grant the resettlement allowances directly to relocated families.

These families also propose to grant part of the land compensation to affected families

and use the rest part for collective use, first for the old-age security of villagers, then for

the public service of the village or labor skills training of villagers.

Based on the usual practice of Xiangyang City concerning the usage of compensation

funds for land acquisition of suburban area, guided by the principle of fully respecting

the opinions of affected families and through repeatedly consultation with subdistrict

offices and affected villages, this project determines the usage of land compensation as

below:

Peasants with land acquisitioned will get 70 percent of the total resettlement and land

compensation for the acquisition lands. The rest of the land compensation will be firstly

35

used to apply for social security for those who are willing to join the social security

program based of the principal of free will. Those who don’t want to join the social

security program will get corresponding personal financial compensation. Other

concrete usages of the compensation are determined by negotiations of the villager

congress, and the main usage will be for collective public services. The distribution and

usage of the land compensation and resettlement compensation will be monitored and

audited by superior institutions.

In case the per capita cultivated land area is below 0.1mu after land acquisition, the

identity of peasants can be transformed into urban residents and incorporated into the

minimum living allowance system of urban residents after the application of villagers’

committee, verification of civil affairs, land and resources department, district

government and township government, and approval of city government. Those

peasants, who can meet the conditions of minimum living allowance system as

confirmed by civil affairs department, shall be granted the minimum living allowance as

stipulated in the law.

The requisitioned attachment to the land shall be compensated to the owner according to

actual loss.

4.4 Rehabilitation of affected enterprises and institutions

The World Bank Financed Xiangyang Urban Transport Project affects 17 enterprises

and public institutions in total, which can be classified into three types:

The first type refers to non-productive institutions, whose influences mainly involve in

offices or idle houses of neighborhood committees along the affected line, fences, gate

houses and carport attached to the fences. As the areas along the main affected roads

have been under planning and control and were verified on-the-spot during design phase

to avoid relocation of large structures, the influences on these areas are slight. These

institutions can be rebuilt and recovered with the monetary compensation after the

fences and gate houses are demolished.

The second type refers to small-sized enterprises who rent the houses of the

neighborhood committees to conduct small-scale production along the affected line.

These enterprises, small-scale, easy to move and recover the production, will rent new

36

houses for operation after getting compensation.

The third type refers to markets that are completely demolished, e.g. Wangjiawa

Vegetable Wholesale Market. As the operating personnel in these markets will lose their

places of business after demolition, Xiangyang Construction Investment Management

Co., Ltd has made arrangement for resettlement and rehabilitation. Newly-built markets

near the intersection of Panggong Road and Xingguang Avenue can accept all the

affected booth proprietors for their new operating. The new market is larger in scale and

more convenient in transportation and is expected to bring the affected proprietors well

resettlement.

independently without company of staffs in local resettlement organization and local

administrators after getting the list and related information of affected persons from

primary-level organizations. When doing so, the interviewers should be fixed to a large

extent, that’s to say, one interviewer on one affected district, which will help establish a

60

relationship of mutual trust between interviewers and affected persons and is to the

benefit of the resettlement work.

2. In the area with dense affected persons, independent monitoring organization will

hold non-regular symposiums to listen to the opinions of affected persons with regard to

vital problems. The symposiums can be either formal or informal; can invite staffs in

resettlement organizations at primary level or not: depending on the specific condition

then.

3. Site observation. Staffs of independent monitoring organization will visit the

resettlement sites regularly or non-regularly and observe the resettlement progress on

site.

4. Case study. Independent monitoring organization will focus on analyzing some

certain outstanding case occurred in the process of resettlement, analyze the root cause

of the problem, find solutions and give opinions for reference.

5. Questionnaire survey. Independent monitoring organization will conduct sample

survey on the rehabilitation of life and production of displaced people and their opinions

of the resettlement work, and analyze the results promptly.

8.2.4 Main content of external monitoring

(1) Monitoring of the affected enterprises and public institutions

Independent monitoring organization will follow-up monitor the resettlement condition

of affected enterprises and public institutions by means of phone tracking visit and case

study. The main concerns include the following aspects:

Whether the time arrangement for the relocation and resettlement is rational;

Whether enterprises get compensation;

Whether staff and workers get well arranged resettlement;

Whether production of enterprises can be recovered in time;

Whether there are affected enterprises transferring impact to staff and workers;

(2) Monitoring of the Relocation Households

61

This project involves both urban and rural relocation work. The independent monitoring

organization will emphasize on monitoring the resettlement for those affected persons

and the main monitoring indexes will focus on the following aspects:

Whether the compensation rate of house and other attachments to ground abides by

the principle of replacement cost;

Whether compensation funds are allocated in time and in full;

Whether the construction of resettlement site is determined by consultation;

Whether the time arrangement for relocation is reasonable;

Whether transition allowance and relocation fee are paid;

Whether compensation for subsistence is discounted;

Whether infrastructures of water, electricity, heat and road in the new resettlement

houses are equipped and who is responsible for providing these;

(3) Monitoring of the resettlement of production

Based on the characters of the affected land and its operation, independent monitoring

organization will focus on the following aspects to monitor the resettlement of

production:

Whether compensation rates of various acquisition lands are in accordance with

national laws;

Whether the process of paying land compensation can make sure all affected

villages and groups can get their deserved compensation funds;

Whether the quantity of requisitioned land, compensation rate and compensation

fund are publicized within the whole village and in which form;

How to decide the scope if the land compensation is directly delivered to

individual;

Whether there is definite and feasible plan about the centralized use of land

compensation;

62

Whether the plan of using land compensation has taken the opinions of interest-

related villagers in account and how to decide the final plan;

How to distribute the profit from using the land compensation and how to guarantee

the real economic interests of affected labor force;

(4) Monitoring of the operation of resettlement organizations

Capable, professional and efficient resettlement organizations are reliable guarantee of

smooth progress of resettlement work. Monitoring the operation of resettlement

organizations is also an important part of external monitoring. The monitoring of

resettlement organizations is mainly by means of visiting resettlement organizations and

inspecting their information and records, which includes:

Whether staffs in resettlement organizations of all levels can meet the demands of

resettlement work;

Whether resettlement organizations of all levels have the necessary working

conditions;

Whether staffs in resettlement organizations are qualified enough to meet the

requirements of resettlement work;

Personnel training of resettlement organizations;

Internal information management of resettlement organizations.

(5) Monitoring of vulnerable groups

Vulnerable groups need special care and attention not only from resettlement

organizations, but also from independent monitoring organizations. Independent

monitoring organization will follow-up monitor the vulnerable groups among those

affected persons of this project by means of door-to-door interview, questionnaire

survey and case analysis. The main indexes of monitoring are:

What special preferential policies vulnerable groups enjoy during the resettlement;

Whether needy families among urban affected residents can afford to the new

houses;

63

Whether affected rural needy families get help during the relocation;

Measures taken to recover the resettlement of production of affected rural needy

families;

Whether resettlement measures fully consider the special demands of affected

women;

Whether vulnerable groups, especially women, get employment opportunities

related to the project; how many vulnerable people are employed in the

construction project;

Whether there are women staffs in charge of women affairs in resettlement

organizations.

(6) Monitoring and evaluation of the resettlement effect

After the official implementation of the resettlement, independent monitoring

organization will follow-up monitor the resettlement effect continuously.

Independent monitoring organization will conduct follow-up survey to those affected

families after half a year upon resettlement. The follow-up survey, similar to the living

standard benchmark survey, will be conducted by means of sample survey and through

structural questionnaire survey to reflect the impact of resettlement on the life and

production of respondents so as to evaluate the effect of resettlement.

The choose of follow-up survey sample should be the same with that of the living

standard survey by principle and the follow-up survey should track the objects of the

living standard benchmark survey as much as possible. Upon the conclusion of the

living standard benchmark survey, all the samples should be collected into a data base

as the basis of the follow-up survey. With regard to few respondents that are difficult to

track survey because of various factors, we will refer to the data base of the early socio-

economic survey and use similar affected family in the same community as substitute

respondent.

The follow-up survey should be well coordinated with the living standard baseline

survey in order to compare and analyze the changes in life and production of the

affected families before and after resettlement, and at the same time to consult the

64

opinions of affected persons about the resettlement work, which can be referenced when

evaluating the resettlement work.

8.2.5 External monitoring report system

The independent monitoring organization shall report to the World Bank and the Project

Management Office regularly as follows:

●Before July 31st of every year, submit an annual mid-term monitoring report on

resettlement status of the first half of the year;

●Before January 31st of every year, submit an annual monitoring report;

Regular monitoring report should at least contain the following aspects: 1) the

monitoring object of the report; 2) the progress of the resettlement work; 3) the major

discoveries of the monitoring organization; 4) major problems; 5) comments and

opinions of independent monitoring organization.
