Brief Introduction of the Project Suzhou Urban Environment Project (SUEP), is one of Jiangsu Urban Environment Project (LTUEP), which includes SUEP and Wuxi Urban Environment Project (WUEP). After the construction of the project, a complete and comprehensive urban sewage treatment system will be formed in Suzhou municipal, with an integration of sewage collection, transfer and drainage with meeting the drainage standard after treatment, sewage recycled, and sludge utilization, so that the quality of ground water environment can be improved, and underground water source can be protected, then sustainable development in economy can be promoted in Suzhou. 1.1.1 SUEP (1) WECTP WECTP includes three sub-projects, which are Suzhou Downtown Sewage Treatment Second-stage Project, Watercourse Dredging Project, Jinghang Canal Sludge-blocked Project. Suzhou Downtown Sewage Treatment Second-stage Project mainly includes, Fuxing WWTP Second-stage Project with scale of 100,000 m3 per day, and Loujiang WWTP Second-stage Project with scale of 80,000 m3 per day. For both of them, original reserved land for construction in first stage can be used, so there is no land acquisition and house demolishing involved in the projects. Watercourse Dredging Project involves dredging 36KM watercourse in 1  downtown, and deepens it to 0.8m. The project does not involve permanent land occupation, and mud-removing field will occupy rural collectively-owned land. Jinghang Canal Sludge-blocked Project includes Xujiang Hinge and Shangtang River navigation lock. The project involves land acquisition of rural collectively-owned land and transfer of state-owned land, residents' houses and enterprises demolishing and resettlement. The above-mentioned projects make use of World Bank loan for construction, land acquisition, house demolishing, impacts of resettlement and rehabilitation plan are included in this RAP. Impacts of land acquisition and Retroactive review of resettlement policies of Fuxing and Loujiang first stage projects of Suzhou Downtown Sewage Treatment Project can be seen at Appendix 1. Impacts of land acquisition and policy framework of resettlement policies of project related to the project, which are supporting projects financed by domestic capital, including Project for Sewage Pipeline to Household in Downtown can be seen at Appendix 2. 1. 1.2 Wuzhong Sewage Treatment Project (WSTP) Wuzhong Sewage Treatment Project includes constructing one WWTP, and 23.5KM Sewage Pipelines Net System. One WWTP is proposed to be constructed, with scale of 30 thousand ton per day at first stage, which locates the south of Tonglin chemical industry in Hedong industry area, and M-SBR techniques process is adopted in sewage treatment techniques, sludge will be conveyed to bury in Qizi Mountain after be inspissated and dewatered. Land with 140 mu will be occupied by the project, which is transferred from state-owned land without pay. The 2  state-owned land is unused land, which is reserved for construction of the WWTP, and land acquisition is completed by Administrative Committee of Wuzhong Hi-tech Development Zone, which is collectively-owned land originally, owned by Lufeng Village, Guoxiang Town, Wuzhong. Impacts of land acquisition and Retroactive review of resettlement policies of the land acquisition be seen at Appendix1. Sewage Pipelines Net System is to be designed and laid out with the construction of three zones such as Dongwu Industrial Park and Hedong Hi-tech Development Zone etc., which is 23.5 KM in length. The pipelines net system is buried and laid out with the usage of green belt along the road, without land acquisition, and the green belt occupied temporarily is state-owned, owned by Administrative Committee of Development Zone, and the impacts are included in this RAP. 1.2 Area Affected and Served by Project 1.2.1 Areas Served by Project Lake Tai river basin bestrides Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui three provinces and Shanghai city, with the acreage of 36500km2, among which there are 52.5% in Jiangsu. There are 37 big and medium cities and county-level cities. Areas served by the project include surrounding area of Lake Tai river basin, especially Suzhou city and Wuzhong Hi-tech Development Zone. The implementation of project will improve environment in Suhzou efficiently, and promote economic and tourism development strongly, then fulfill the sustainable development of Suzhou. 3  (1 ) Environmental Benefits Sewage will be conveyed to WWTPs with relative complete collecting system for treatment, and discharged to receiving water area after meeting the discharging standard. Sewage treatment rate of city central area will be increased from 36% to 85% after implementation of the project, which will drastically change the condition that most of the sewage was discharged to city river net without treatment in the past, pollution drained to city river net will be decreased dramatically; the decrease of pollution quantity will decrease the pollution quantity of city river net, and water quality will be improved relatively, the visage of Jiangnan Water Countryside with clear water and live water recovered initially, at the same time the improvement of water quality in Lake Tai is promoted. (2) Social Benefits Improve Sanitation Environment. Sanitation condition and environment is improved evidently through increasing water quality and improving water quality of river net, which do a favor to decrease diseases and improve health level of residents'. Improve dwelling condition. Life quality can improved dramatically with the evident improvement of water quality in river net and environment in city, which will bring notable social benefits. (3) Economic Benefits Water environment will improved greatly after construction of the project, which will promote the development of tourism industry, and increase economic benefits of tourism industry. Investment environment will be improved and increase appeal of attracting investment, and strongly promote 4  economic development. 1.2.2 Areas Affected by Project Areas affected by the project includes Suzhou and Wuzhong Hi-tech Development Zone. Suzhou Downtown Sewage Treatment Second-stage Project. In the planning and construction of Fuxing WWTP and Loujiang WWTP first-stage project, design of general area reserved land for development at second-stage at the long term plan with scale of 80,000 tons per day and 60,000 tons per day, and needed city planning supporting facilities have be constructed. Therefore, there is no need for other land acquisition. Watercourse Dredging Project. The impacts are induced by temporary land occupation for pile-up sludge and treatment. According to the plan, sludge dredged from river bottom will be shipped to bury in Xinyu Village, Huqiu Town, pounds with 786.6 mu of the village will be occupied temporarily. Jinghang Canal Sludge-blocked Project. It includes Xujiang Hinge and Shangtang River Hinge, which will occupy 23.9 mu permanently, 35.8 mu land temporarily, 2442m2 residential houses and 6341 m2 workshops in total. (2) Wuzhong Sewage Treatment Project Land for construction of WWTP is the reserved land during the plan of Development Zone, which are stated-owned land, so there are no land acquisition involved in the project. The pipelines net system is buried and laid out with the usage of green belt along the road, without land acquisition, and the green belt occupied temporarily is state-owned. 5  WWTP and pipeline net do not involve house demolishing. 1.3 Social and Economic Background in the Project Area 1.3.1 Social and Economic Background in Suzhou The city of Suzhou is originally established in 514 BC with a long history of over 2500 years. At present it is still on the original site of Spring and Summer Era with the setup of double chessboard of "rivers go together with lands and streets live beside rivers", and the river ways water system of "Three length and three breadth with one circle" and the significant scene of "little bridges above water, powdery walls with black tiles and historic places of famous gardens". In Suzhou, the city is dotted with classical gardens with extractive art. Now there are more than 60 classical gardens that have been preserved in good condition, among which nine gardens including the Poor Administrative Garden, Lion Woods and others have been listed in the World Civilization Heritage Fame. In recent years, Suzhou fully uses the advantages of rich tourism resources and exerts itself to set up a new tourism frame of the old and the new together. Therefore the tourism industry in Suzhou has developed rapidly and it is becoming the new supporting industry. In 2001 there are 16,720,000 from overseas to Suzhou and the tourism foreign exchange income amounts to 0.234 billion which increases by 16.3% from that of the last year; it has got tourism total income of 17.1 billion, increased by 21% from that of the lat year; and thus it has occupied 9.7% of the domestic Production Total value. At the end of 2001, Suzhou has the total population of 5805.3 thousand, among which the urban has 2094.5 thousand. The distribution of the urban population is as follows: the central district (including Huqiu Hill, Pingjiang, 6  Canglang, Jinchang four districts) 871.1 thousand, new district 81.4 thousand, industrial park 177.3 thousand, Wuzhong District 585.1 thousand, and Xiangcheng district 379.6 thousand. Suzhou is one of the economic developed places in China. Since the Reformation and Open to outside, Suzhou has insisted the center of economy construction and vigorously actualized thriving city through science and education, economic globalization, sustainable development and strategy of urbanization with fully promote the systematic and scientific innovation to keep the economy develop continuously, rapidly and healthily. In the Period of "the ninth five" the domestic production total value has increased by 11.6% averagely in the comparative price and the finance income increased by 24.1% averagely. In 2001, Suzhou accomplished the domestic production total value of 176 billion and it increased by 12.3% from that of the last year in the comparative price, which listed in the sixth in the cities of Chinese mainland. The average domestic production total value exceeded 30 thousand and 3600 US Dollars in the current exchange rate. The finance income amounted to 20.9 billion which got the first of Jiangsu Province and the proportion of the three industries is: 5.3:56.7:38. According to Suzhou City General Plan(1 996-2010) revised in 2001, the target of Suzhou city construction and development is that Suzhou city construction and development shall observe the harmonizing development tactic of economy, society, population, environment and resources, that it shall vigorously develop high technological industries and the third industries with wholly protecting the old city's views to construct Suzhou step by step as a modern city of glory economy, civilized society, proper setup and elegancy environment with characteristics of south of Yangtse River and rich historic 7  traditions. Due to city plan, Suzhou has its target in environment protection as well, to keep the economy, urban and suburban, environment in the same step of layout, implementation and development; to emphasize on water environment renovation to realize the consolidation of economic benefit, social benefit and environmental benefit and to improve the reform of Suzhou city environment quality and country economy develop continuously, rapidly and healthily; in the near future to carry out the city renovation and prevention and care of industrial pollution emphasizing on water environment renovation and firmly control the new pollution origins and thus the environment pollution has been controlled basically and the environment quality has been improved to some extent. The first classic protection districts for drinking water origins shall go up to the 11 standard of ground water; the metaphase target is to get the inside and outside rivers to go above to Standard IV-V of ground water; and the long-term target is to get the waters quality up to Standard IV. Suzhou lies in the south of Yangtse River with developed water systems of rivers in length and breadth, which has taken good condition for city drainage. In Suzhou old city, before the 80's there were no perfect drainage system and the drainage for the roads took the principle of draining to the near river with pipelines. And so the domestic sewage and industrial waste drainage drained into the rivers, and polluted the rivers seriously. Suzhou City General Plan (1985-2000) worked out in 1986 and the relative City Drainage and Sewage Treatment Project Plan have the confirmation of the drainage system of old district that is 'to adopt interflow system and cut to treat the sewage and original rain, to rebuild the system to distribution in the new districts and reconstructive districts including the south garden and north garden'. For the other districts such as the east, west and the south, it shall be distribution system. 8  In the early of the 80's, Suzhou began to carry out the construction in large scale. And due to the above drainage plan, especially the WECTP begun in 1998 promote the distribution system and change sewage cut pipelines to be sewers. The basic condition of the whole city and urban social economy of Suzhou in 2001 is as follows: total population is 5805.3 thousand and agricultural population is 3147.7 thousand, the country acreage is 8488.42 km2, among which the plowland is 298.49 kha. The domestic production total value is 176.028 billion, among which the first industry is 10.181 billion, the second 98.949 billion and the tertiary 66.8980 billion. The industrial total production is 398.075 billion and the GDP per capita is 30322.00yuan. For the urban residents, the distributable income is 10515.00 yuan and the net income for the peasants is 5790.00 yuan. 1.3.2 Social and Economic Background in Wuzhong Hi-tech Development Zone Wuzhong Hi-tech Development Zone (previously Jiangsu Wuxian Economic Development Zone) lies in the south of the old city, to the east of China-Singapore Industrial Park and to the west of Shihu Lake Places of Interest. Jinghang Canal and Provincial way 205 go through the whole area and Huning, Sujiahang highways pass nearly. The carryout of the Wuzhong District Sewage Treatment Project enhance the attracting funds to develop the economy rapidly. Currently, there are over 700 industrial enterprises in the Zone, and the foreign invested enterprises amounts to 231 from 16 countries and districts such as America, Japan, Holand, Korea, Singapore, Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan and so on. The invested fields include engine, electron, medicine, fine chemistry, 9  clothing, constructing resources and real estate with the total amount fund of 1.4 billion US Dollars. Meanwhile, some inner project has been set up in the Zone as well. The Zone has one sub-zone of 'Wangshan Photoelectricity Hi-tech Industrial Park" which contains development zone, Changqiao Town, Hengjing Town and Puzhuang Town with the total area of 60 km2. Currently it has been in the actual realization period. The Industrial Park sticks to develop in high standard, construct in high speed, invest in high intension, output in high benefit to form it to be a zone with classical soft and hard environment and to attract classical high-tech enterprises from abroad and at home. In 2000, the export exceeds 0.33 billion Dollars and the zone have been prized as 'Perfect Development Zone" by Jiangsu Province People's Government. Wuzhong Hi-tech Development Zone is the provincial economic tech development Zone. To perfect the investing environment of the zone, to increase the attraction to the fund and to enhance the attraction of investing, the environment of Wuzhong must be promoted. Wuzhong Sewage Treatment Project is built in accordance of the construction of the Development Zone. 1.4 Project Design Procedure 1.4.1 WECTP Lake Tai River Basin is one of the most rapid economic development area, and one of areas with relatively high degree of industrialization and urbanization. With the economic development, city enlargement, population growth, the 10  conflicts of supply and demand of water resources have become standing-out and water pollution is serious increasingly. Induced water shortage of quality and water pollution has restricted sustainable development of national economy and improvement of living standard in Lake Tai River Basin. In 2001, Lake Tai Water Pollution Treatment Tenth-five Plan (Tenth-five Plan for short)was compiled by National Environmental Protection Bureau together with Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai related departments, by the end of 2005, changing better of water quality in Lake Tai will be fulfilled, which lays a good foundation for settling water pollution issues ultimately and recover ecological system of good recycle. Suzhou water net is a part of Lake Tai River Basin, city proper of Suzhou is fallen in Tenth-five of water pollution treatment range, which is Suzhou control area of Jiangsu planned area, therefore, water pollution treatment of Suzhou city proper is an important part of Lake Tai water pollution treatment, so the implementation of treatment project should be followed to objectives and guidelines of Tenth-five Plan. In 1998, WECTP of Suzhou city proper has been carried out, which includes Sewage Pipeline Net System, Loujiang and Fuxing WWTP first-stage project, leading water of Lake Tai to Gucheng District river net and River Net Renovation Project. According to general deployment and requirement of Tenth-five Plan, in July, 2002, Suzhou Planning Committee submitted Suzhou Downtown Water Pollution Treatment Project Proposal to Jiansu Planning Committee, then Jiansu Planning Committee transferred the proposal to National Development Planning Committee, in order to perfect and reinforce WECTP, and enlarge ranges and effects of treatment, on the base of implemented Suzhou WECTP. 11  1.5 Total Investment and Capital Source The project is belonging to urban infrastructure, invested by Suzhou Peoples' Government, and the capital source consist of two parts, domestic supporting capital and World Bank loan. Short term investment of Suzhou WECTP is 1.138 billion, among which 0.889 billion yuan is settled by Suzhou Peoples' Government, the rest 0.249 billion yuan is settled through applying for loan from World Bank, amounting to 30 million US dollars. 0.16092 billion yuan will be invested for Wuzhong Sewage Treatment Project, among which 0.1049 billion yuan is settled by local government, and the rest 56.02million yuan is settled through applying for loan from World Bank, amounting to 6.75 million US dollars. 1.6 Measures for Reducing Project Influences 1.6.1 Plan and Design Stage of the Project During the plan and design stage, the design unit and project owner have adopted some effective measures to reduce project impact on local social economy. The main measures are shown as below: A, In the project planning stage, project impact on the local social economy should be taken into account as much as possible and as the key factor in choosing the scheme; B, Sewage pipes and rain pipes to be laid in the edge of or in the middle of the road to avoid house demolishment; C, During the positioning process of routes of urban roads and rivers, the design unit make a reasonable analysis of it to reduce the house 12  demolishment as much as they can; for example, through optimizing planning of Xujiang Hinge Project, demolishing of main workshop of Shunchang Cotton Mill is avoided, and impacts on more than 200 employees are avoided; impacts on shops are avoided in Shangtang River Hinge Project. D, Optimize design, arranges the overall layout in preservation area, and reduces house demolishment as much as they can. 1.6.2 Construction Stage of the Project A. Reducing the Influences on Urban Transportation Laying .and construction of pipes are usually in the center. or along one side of the road. The exaction of roads will seriously influence the traffic of that area, which should be taken into consideration by the project developers. For the roads with busy traffic, they will set up temporary convenient access, arrange traffic policemen to maintain the normal order and try to avoid the rush hours for construction, such as constructing at night to ensure the smooth traffic in day time; as far as construction methods are concerned, they will construct section by section. Moreover, they try to finish the excavation, pipe laying, land filling in the shortest time as possible as they can. B. Measures to Reduce the Dust Soil excavated from the trenches is laid beside the roads. Wind in the dry season and machines raising the soil will cause the dust flying, nearby residents and factories will be influenced. In order to reduce the adverse effects on the environment, abandoned soil should be sprayed water on the surface if several days of fine weather and wind blowing are encountered in the process of construction. Units of construction should treat the abandoned soil promptly and in the loading and carrying process, try not to overload the 13  soil to prevent the falling of soil on the roads. Wheels of the vehicles should be cleaned by compressed water before the vehicles begin to work to keep the environment clean. Meanwhile, construction units should clean the roads in time if there is abandoned soil. C. Control the Noise from Construction Noise of construction comes from laying the pipes, excavating trenches, blowing of horns, mixing noise of concrete and noise of earth cover road roller. In order to control the noise, the construction in the area of 200 meters around the residences is prohibited from 11 o'clock at night to 6 o'clock next morning. And construction units should choose suitable construction facilities and methods, use machinery with low noise. And if sometimes, construction during the night is needed and residents nearby will be influenced, construction machinery should be equipped with noise elimination devices. Meanwhile, temporary noise interception devices should be set up around the building site or around the residences to keep the noise environment of residences. D. Treatment of Waste Materials in the Site of Construction Project developers and construction units should contact the local environment hygienic department to clean the domestic waste materials on the site of construction promptly to keep it clean. E. Decrease Pollution of Mud and Impacts Induced by Temporary Land Occupation of Mud-removing field The mud cleaned from watercourse have quite a number of water, if they are transported, conveyed, piled up and treated in an inappropriate way, they will lead to secondary pollution. They are conveyed with ship rather than car, which avoid secondary pollution in transporting and loading. Through choosing 14  pile-up site and reasonable place, secondary pollution is avoided or decreased, and reasonable utilization of land occupied temporarily after planting recovery, efficiency of land usage is resumed and increased. 1.6.3 Preparation of RAP & Implement Stage of the Project When resettlement is inevitable, following measures will be adopted for decreasing the local impact caused by the construction. A, Enhance basic data acquisition, analyses on local socio-economic status and development in the future, and formulate practicable action plans with due consideration of actual situation, thus ensuring that the people affected by the project will not suffer loss. B, Actively encourage the public participation in the resettlement works, and accept supervision of the public. C, Strengthen internal and external independent monitoring activities, establish highly efficient and smooth channel for information feedback, reduce information processing period, thus ensuring that problems can be resolved timely. 15  2 Project Impacts In order to find out the impacts of this project, PMO and designing organization made the socio-economic investigation of the affected family, enterprises and institutions and collectively economic organizations in affected area by this project comprehensively in September, 2002 to July, 2003 according to designed process of sub-projects. The mode of combination of investigating households and units one by one and interview are adopted. It involves all areas of land acquisition; the content of investigation includes physical quantity of land acquisition and house demolishing and socio-economic of DPs'. DPs took part in investigation work. Investigating group heard opinions on land acquisition, demolition and resettlement from residences, enterprises and rural collective economic organization, land administrative department of municipal and related groups, and discussed with them widely. 2.1 Affected Land 2.1.1 Permanent Land Occupation In the project, permanent land occupation is needed for Jinghang Canal Sludge-blocked Project, the land includes,15.48mu state-owned land and 8.42mu collectively-owned land; temporary land occupation is needed in Watercourse Dredging Project for piling-up sludge; the reserved state-owned land in first-stage has been utilized for Fuxing and Loujiang WWTP; reserved state-owned land has been used for Wuzhong WWTP, so there is no need for new land acquisition. Suzhou Downtown Sewage Treatment Second-stage Project. In Fuxing and Loujiang WWTP first-stage projects, general floor plan layout of WWTP is planned once with long term scale, and implementing by stage and land is 16  reserved for sewage and sludge treatment at second stage. Among them, the land acreage occupied by Fuxing WWTP is about 7.26ha, 4.16ha land was requisitioned by first stage project, and the reserved land for sewage treatment locates in north end of WWTP, for sludge treatment locates in northwest of WWTP, with the acreage of 46.5mu(3.1ha);land acreage occupied by Loujiang WWTP is about 8.25ha,all land was requisitioned by first stage project, and the reserved land for sewage treatment locates in southeast end of WWTP, for sludge treatment locates in southwest of WWTP, with the acreage of 45mu(3.Oha). There is no permanent land occupation in Watercourse Dredging Project. Jinghang Canal Sludge-blocked Project. The permanent land occupation mainly includes land occupied for construction (including within 10m away of sideline of construction,but the water surface should be deducted) and living administriative district. According to project designing, 14mu land is occupied for Xujiang Hinge, including 6.77 mu rural collectively-owned land of Shuangqiao Village, Hengtang Town, 1.67 mu rural collectively-owned land of Hengtang Town, 5.56mu state-owned land.9.9 mu land is occupied for construction of Shangtang River Hinge, which are all state owned land. 23.9mu is occupied by the sub-project permanently. 140 mu is occupied for WWTP in Wuzhong Sewage Treatment Project, which is the reserved state-owned land in development zone, and there is no permanent land occupation in the project. 17  Table 2.1 Impacts of Permanent Land Occupation Unit: mu Acreage of land Includes occupation(mu) Notes Sub-project Collectively-owned State-owned Title land land Jinghang Canal 23.9 8.44 15.46 Sludge-blocked Project Includes, 14.0 8.44 5.56 Xujiang Hinge Shangtang 9.9 0 9.9 River Hinge Watercourse 0 0 0 Dredging Project WWTP Second Utilization Stage Project of reserved 91.5 0 91.5 land Includes, Fuxing WWTP 46.5 0 46.5 Loujiang 45 0 45 WWTP Wuzhong Sewage Treatment 140 0 140 Project Total 254.4 8. 44 246. 96 18  2.1.2 Temporary Land Occupation (1 )WECTP Suzhou Downtown Sewage Treatment Second-stage Project, Fuxing and Loujiang WWTPs do not invlove temporary land occupation. Watercourse Dredging Project. According to Feasibility Study Report on Suhzou Downtown Watercourse Dredging Project, Watercourse Dredging Project will temporarily occupied 786.6 mu pounds and pools of Xinyu Village Huqiu for pile-up the sludge, which will last for two years. Jinghang Canal Sludge-blocked Project. It will temporarily occupied 35.8mu (23866m2 in total) totally, among which there are 18.9 mu state-owned land, 16.9 mu rural collectively-owned land, lasting for two years. Wuzhong Sewage Treatment Project. It occupied land temporarily for construction of pipelines, with 532.56 mu land for temporary land occupation.

(2) temporary using land resettlement the canal dredging project need to temporarily take up 786.6 mu fishing pond and pool for ooze storage for two years in Xinyu Village from Huqiu Town. Because income from fishing pond is affacted in this period, the compensation for the loss is paid at 2000 yuan/mu .year, the compensation can make up for a loss. In two years, PMO will return the pond to the Xinyu Village, and pay land recovery fee, and villagers committee organize project to recover land planting function, the land continue to be used for rural production. After storing ooze, the fishing pond cannot be used for fishery, just can be used for others production. Some fishing equipment cannot be used or handled with, PMO should pay compensation for these to property owners at rebuilding price . According to Suzhou middle and long term developing plan, this region is planed as ecology area. So, after land recovering, combined with the site, resource, labour, production project and DPs willing of the Village, the land 64  would be used for flowers and seedling production, enlarge production to be the basis of flower and seedling in Suzhou, the product sell to Wuxi and Shanghai. Due to the urbanization and modernization of the south of Jiangsu province demands lots of flowers and seedling to afforest and prettify city, based on market analysis, flowers and seedling production have good social and economic benefit. The production organization can refer to existing ways, the flowers company use land, investor sign contract with villager committee and land user, the company pay 500 yuan/mu.year to user for land, at the same time, the original users can work in the company, their income is 20-30 yuan /day, 300 working days per year, they can earn 6000-9000 yuan; on a voluntary basis, the original users have rights to contract the recovery land, manage flowers and seedlings to get benefit. According to local conditions, the income per mu can reach 3000-8000 yuan/ year, if each household contract eight mu land, average income of household can reach to 24000-64000 yuan/year. There are 13 enterprises in the Xinyu Village, these are good economic benefit, with income stable. On a voluntary basis, the young labours will be recommend to these enterprises to work, their income can reach to 8600 yuan/year. All DPs plant farmland, and the part of labours work in the village enterprises, this part income add up to the income from using recovery land, the DPs' income will surpass original income. 8.2 The resettlement of urban demolition Resettlement in cash, providing resettlement houses and cheap-rent houses for poverty household are adopted for the compensation and resettlement policies on demolishing residential houses of this project. Provided by more 65  choices, DPs can choose different resettlement mode according to their own economic status and individual demand. Suzhou government have already carried out the directing selling houses system in 2002, in order to ensure that DPs can resettle down well and afford to buy houses. So each of the demolition households can buy a set of merchantdise house, the area have 50, 65 and 75 m2, the price is1900-2200 yuan/M2, price difference is based on region and storey. If the demolished househould give up the rights to buy house, they can get extra 15% resettlement subsidy. So the demolished households in the Project can not only restore their living condition, but also improve their living condition. In Suzhou, a lot of houses can be found in real estate market. They distribute in each district of Suzhou. And around the area that are affected by the project, real estate markets can always be found, DPs can choose their houses in the market at their own will. What's more, the supporting systems such as the supply of water, the supply of power, traffic, the supply of gas and cable TV will also be designed and constructed. Around each residential sub-district, there are schools, post offices, saving banks, vegetable markets, bus stations and hospitals. Therefore, it can be concluded that it is convenient for people to live there. What's more, the DPs can choose their new houses at their own wills. The demolition site sit in the near by Hengtang Town, Lijiaqiao, Wangxi Road, Tongxin Garden, and so on, there are new residence, the residence price is between 2100 and 3100 yuan/M2. at the same time, DPs can buy second-hand houses whose price is between 2100 and 3000 yuan/M2. The average area of nine demolished households is 323 m2, but the houses distribution is very crowded, and more the most of houses is used for rent, the rental is about 16187 yuan/year. The renting houses have no independent toiletand kitchen, hygiene condition is terrible. After demolition, resettlers can 66  buy a suit of directing selling house and other 2-3 suits of merchandise houses, one of these houses is used for living themselves, the others are used for hiring out. According to investigation, the rental is above 100 yuan/m2.year for suiting houses in Suzhou urban.the new houses have independent toiletand kitchen, with good quality, can get higher rental. If the area of hiring out house is 200m2/ househould, the rental income can reach to 20000 yuan! year. So, after demolition, the income of affected households cannot decrease and even increase through buying new houses and hiring out the part of them. 8.3 Resettlement of Enterprises The Project involved the enterprises including Hengtang food and oil factory (HTFOF), Suzhou fruits and vegetable company limited, Shunchang cotton mill, Suzhou jingwang estate company limited(SZJWECL), Shuangqiao collective storehouse.

During the resettlement policy developing, planning compiling and implementation phase of the project, the opinions of DPs are collected widely. During the project preparing phase--feasibility study phase, the PMO has consulted Suzhou City, Wuzhong District Government, People's Congress, Political Consultant Committee, people's groups, and representatives of DPs from the affected institutions, enterprises and shops about resettlement. All the suggestions and opinions on the resettlement have been considered in the RAP compiling. From October 2002 to July 2003, PMO organized workers to conduct initial census, property survey and socioeconomic survey within the scope of land acquisition and house demolition. The representatives of DPs took part in the survey, and made suggestions to resettlement compensation and rehabilitation. All the opinions and suggestions have been considered in the RAP compiling fully. From June to August 2003, PMO organized a special group and DPs representatives to take part in the physical and socioeconomic investigations on land acquisition and the effect of demolition. PMO solicited opinions from residence, enterprises and institutions, shops on land acquisition, house demolition, resettlement, and discussed the problems from all aspects. Meanwhile, a socioeconomic survey and a psychological investigation were carried out to know about the DPs' will for resettlement, what their attitudes are. All the detail work laid a good foundation for RAP. In the future, the following procedures and methods will be taken to encourage 70  public participation and consultation: (1) PAP Representatives Taking Part in the House Demolition and Relocation DPs, enterprises and institutions, shops choose their representatives in portion. By cooperating with sub-district office and neighborhood committee, the representatives solicit opinions and collect rationalization proposals from DPs. In addition to these, they regularly exchange views with DPs. Representatives of DPs take part in the process of survey for house and its adjoining parts, in confirming compensation standard, in negotiating the agreements on resettlement compensation and rehabilitation, in the construction and distribution of relocation house and so on, so as to reflect the DPs' opinions, and to ensure the judgment and transparency of the project resettlement. (2) Negotiating with DPs about resettlement ways. (3) Information and Discussion Meeting Representatives from DPs, house-demolished enterprises and institutions, shopkeeper of house-demolished shops, women (women should be more than 30% of all representatives) are organized to take part in discussion meetings six months before land acquisition and demolition. The meeting will inform them about the process and further obtain their opinions and suggestions. (4) Public Gathering Meetings The meetings are held 3 months before land acquisition and demolition, mainly to explain relevant policies, laws and regulations, compensation rates, etc. Thus, DPs can prepare for the resettlement earlier. (5) Propaganda through Media 71  (6) Making a Land Acquisition and House Demolition Announcement Prior to initiation of civil works for each street, the project will issue a formal announcement. The main contents are: brief introduction of the project, the demolition scope, resettlement policies(including compensation rate), organizations responsible for resettlement, scheme of resettlement, rights and obligations of DPs, grievance and appeals, monitoring and evaluation etc. (7) RAP disclosure Placing the RAP in Suzhou urban construction bureau and library before the World Bank appraise the project, propagate the notice in local main paper so that DPs and non governmental organizations can look it up. (8) PAP information handbook Compile the main part of RAP in PAP information handbook and send the handbook to PAP after the evaluation of the project and before movement. The main contents of information handbook are brief situation of the project, project impacts, compensation policies, implementation organization and appealing channel. 9.2 Public Opinions Survey In July 2003, PMO carried out a questionnaire Survey.

(4)1n order to ensure a smooth implementation of the resettlement, DROP will set up supervisory mechanism in the resettlement offices at all levels, so as to guarantee all the money to be paid to the DPs as specified. 103  14 Monitoring According to World Bank Operational Policies O.P. 4. 12 "Involuntary Resettlement " and "Operational Directory of Resettlement Monitoring and Evaluation of Projects in China" Assisted by World Bank, implementation of land acquisition and resettlement activities shall be monitored regularly to ensure those actions have proceeded in accordance with the provisions of RAP. There are two kinds of monitoring mechanisms in this RAP, the internal monitoring and the independent monitoring. Internal monitoring is carried out by JSUEPO, SZUEPO, LTWQISPO, demolition implement company, SZLRMB, DLRMB and SZHDAO to ensure that all the units follow the schedule and abide by the principles of RAP. The purpose of this internal monitoring is to maintain responsibilities of resettlement implementation institutions during the implementation. Independent Monitoring Organization is mainly responsible for regularly independent monitoring and evaluation on activities of land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement. NRCR of Hohai University will undertake the independent monitoring of the resettlement component to observe. * The function of resettlement network: * The implementation of land acquisition, house demolition, rehabilitation and compensation * The recovery of DPs, affected shops, enterprises and institution; * Survey on and analysis of the DPs living standards. The purpose of independent monitoring is to provide an evaluation of resettlement by an organization independent to the institutions for the project demolition, and to review the overall implementation from a broader, long-term point of view. 104  Independent monitoring institution follows the resettlement activities to evaluate whether the goals of resettlement are achieved through observing (1) the application of the laws of P.R.C. concerned on resettlement; (2) compliance with the principles of the World Bank's Operational Policies O.P. 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement; and (3)an improvement in the standards of living of the DPs or at least maintenance of the former living standards. The Independent Monitoring Institution provides suggestions to the institutions for demolition implementation, so as the problems encountered in the implementation can be resolved in time. 14.1 Internal Monitoring and Supervision PMO has developed an internal monitoring framework to supervise the resettlement activities. It establishes relevant databank on land acquisition, house demolition and resettlement. And the databank contributes to compiling the resettlement planning, and carrying out intemal monitoring on the whole implementation process. 14.1.1 Implementation Procedures During the implementation, based on samples provided by monitoring institutions, JSUEPO, SZUEPO, LTWQISPO, SZLRMB, DLRMB, SZHDAO and demolition implement company collect and record implementation information of residents, shops, enterprises and institutions affected. Meanwhile, they deliver the record of the current activities in time to JSUEPO and SZUEPO, so as to keep a consistent monitoring on implementation. JSUEPO and SZUEPO conducts periodic supervision to the project resettlement. In the above monitoring system, there is a continuous flow of information on a regular format from SZHDAO to JSUEPO. JSUEPO, SZUEPO, LTWQISPO, SZLRMB, DLRMB, SZHDAO as the important components of internal monitoring and supervision system, will carry out periodic supervision and verifications. 14.1.2 Indicators to be Monitored * Payment of compensation to DPs and PAUs * Finding the houses for DPs replaced in cash * Construction of resettlement houses for DPs who will exchange ownership * Removal of DPs 105  * Reconstruction of replacement houses and removal * Rehabilitation of vulnerable groups * Resettlement and rehabilitation of shops affected * Resettlement and rehabilitation of institutions and enterprises affected * Rehabilitation of infrastructure * Arranging the schedule of the above activities * Conformity with the policies and regulations of RAP * Participation and negotiation of DPs during implementation * Staffing, training, work schedule and effectiveness of the institutions 14.1.3 Internal Monitoring Reports The LTWQISPO will compile an internal monitoring report every 3 months and submit to JSUEPO and SZUEPO. And JSUEPO will submit to the World Bank after collecting at the end of each year. 14.2 External Independent Monitoring Institution 14.2.1 Independent Monitoring Institution JSUEPO plans to entrust NRCR to do the independent monitoring and supervision. The monitoring and evaluation group is composed of 4 resettlement specialists with much experience on project resettlement and sociology. 14.2.2 Responsibilities Independent Monitoring Institution will periodically monitor and evaluate the implementation of RAP, including the progress, quality of resettlement, utilization of funds. It will give advice and suggestions. After checking quality of resettlement house, DPs' living standards and production conditions, the Independent Monitoring Institution will submit monitoring and evaluation reports to JSUEPO and SZUEPO and the World Bank.

The successful experience of and the lesson drawn from the affected residents, shops, enterprises and institutions will be summed up to contribute to resettlement in the future. Ex-post evaluation will be carried out by external independent monitoring institution entrusted by JSUEPO and SZUEPO. The independent monitoring and evaluation institution should compile the outline of ex-post evaluation and develop evaluation indicators. It 109  will conduct socioeconomic analysis survey, compile ex-post evaluation report on Suzhou Urben Environment Project Resettlement and submit to JSUEPO and SZUEPO and the World Bank. 110  15 Entitlement Matrix Affected Affected Policy of compensation Standard type person and resettlement Permanen Villager compensation fee of land plowland:20000RMB/mu; t land committ is paid for country group fishpond/breeding field/garden acquisition ee economic organization to plot:8000-16000RMB/mu;land develop production and for housing/country resettle living of road:10000RMB/mu;others:6000 peasants.
