(1) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring all viable alternative project design, to minimize the negative 4 impact caused by the YWE project. (2) Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher, with particular attention paid to the poor and vulnerable groups. (3) Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs, providing sufficient investment resources with detailed resettlement action plan. (4) The resettlement should be arranged in the local area as much as possible to enable the persons displaced by the project and the local residents to share in project benefits. (5) More compensations should be given to those with per capita annual income less than CNY1000 (provincial poverty level). 1.5 Project Owner and Organizations The YWE Project is divided into two sections, i.e. Samming section and Longyan section, with two project owners of Sanming YWE Co. Ltd. and Longyan YWE Co. Ltd. To carry out the resettlement work for the YWE project smoothly, resettlement offices from provincial level to local village level are set up, i.e. Fujian Provincial Resettlement Office set at FPECD, Sanming Municipal Resettlement Office (SMRO), Longyan Municipal Resettlement Office (LMRO), Sanming YWE Co. Ltd. Resettlement Office (SYWERO), Longyan YWE Co. Ltd. Resettlement Office (LYWERO), county level resettlement office (CRO) in each of the four counties, township resettlement office (TRO) in each of the townships and village resettlement office in each of the villages. 1.6 Time Schedule of the Preparation and implementation of the RAP The preparation of the RAP started from September 2005. The field survey for the RAP was conducted in October The compilation of the draft RAP was completed in the end November 2005. The compilation of the final RAP will be completed at the end of March 2006. Some modifications may be necessary in accordance to the design of the construction plan in early July 2006. Resettlement Information Booklets (RIBs) will be distributes to those affected by the Project and the time schedule for the resettlement will be announced by the end of July 2006. The locations of the resettlement and the land adjustment scheme will be finalized in August 2006. Overall implementation of the RAP will commence in October 2006. Independent monitoring organization (IMO) will conduct the monitoring work from November 2006 to December 2009. 5 2. Project Impact 2.1 Measures to minimize the impact It is almost inevitable for the YWE project such impacts arising from the land acquisition, relocation of houses infrastructures and other facilities, which will affect the local people's production, living and employment. In the design of the YWE project, measures have been taken to minimize and mitigate the possible impact and when resettlement is necessary thoughfful RAP should be worker out and implemented to make sure the quality of life not be lowered for the affected persons, with particular attentions to be paid to the affected vulnerable groups. 2.1.1 To reduce the scale of the land acquisition and resettlement The following principles are adhered in the design of the expressway alignment. (1) To avoid the densely populated areas such as urban, town and resident areas. (2) To reduce land acquisition as much as possible. (3) To avoid relocation of houses and building facilities as far as possible and to reduce occupation of arable land, with service and rest areas, interchanges to be set at waste land areas as much as possible. 2.1.2 Facility design and construction measures Facility design and construction measures have been taken for the YWE project to minimized the impact as the following. (1) Passages have been designed to facilitate the local people passing across the expressway for going to school and for farm work. (2) Proper arrangement of the construction work has been made to reduce the construction period as much as possible and to ensure timely restoration of the damaged farm land irrigation system. (3) Balanced cutting and filling work has been considered as far as possible to reduce the amount of the wastes, to make use and proper treatment of the wastes. 2.1.3 Formulation of concrete & effective resettlement action plan Concrete and effective resettlement action is to be worked out in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of the PRC and the Fujian province and the World Bank document OP 4.12 BP 4.12 Involuntary Resettlement, with particular attentions paid to the followings. (1) To strengthen the internal monitoring work and the external monitoring work done by the IMO based on effective and efficient information communication system to reduce information process cycle, so as to make ensure the issues occurred during the implementation timely addressed. (2) To strengthen the public participation before the construction work through public awareness campaign of the project by notifying the time schedule of the project and the land acquisition and resettlement compensation policies, and to give 6 priority to the use of local construction materials and the local labor force to work for the YWE project during the construction period, subject to the same prerequisites. 2.2 General Description of the Project Impact Survey Over September - October 2005, people from Sanming and Longyan expressway companies, the RIOH, the Fujian Provincial Communications Planning and Design Institute and the Resettlement Offices for the Yong-Wu Expressway conducted detailed socio-economic and resettlement survey, based on the preliminary design, to get first hand information about the project impact, including the data about permanent land acquisition, temporary land use, the affected buildings, facilities, enterprises, households, crops and woodland, other properties, affected population and vulnerable groups, and etc., which have been listed in the draft report of the RAP and acknowledged by the local governments and the affected people. However, it should be noted that these data is based on the preliminary design, which have to be reviewed and approved later on and may be changed according to the final construction plan. (1) Scope and object of the survey Scope: all the affected 15 townships along the Yong-Wu Expressway and the selected sample villages of the all the 69 affected villages. Object: the YWE project affected land, the land attachments, facilities and the affected people. (2) Survey contents Classification and quantities of the affected groups and individuals; the details of the affected houses, lands, properties, including the income and living standards of the affected households, their comments and requests, as well as the comparisons between different groups and areas. (3) Survey method A Land Acquisition and Socio-economic Survey Form for the Expressway was prepared, and the survey was carried out, taking into account of the consistency among the design plan, the concrete physical conditions and the survey data. (4) Survey process Over 10 - 18 September 2005, the FPECD presided over the "Work Meeting for the Basic Data Survey for the Expressway Land Acquisition and Resettlement, with 20 participants from the Resettlement Office of the FPECD, the RIOH and the Resettlement Offices of the Sanming and Longyan Expressway Companies, and the affected local governments. During the meeting preparation work was organized to clarify the task of the land acquisition and resettlement survey for the YWE project, with training materials for the survey in accordance with the World Bank policy requirements. In October 2005, the RAP team from the RIOH divided into three groups went to the affected four cities of Yongan, Liancheng, Shanghang and Wuping and conducted the survey, together with people from the FPCPDI and the local resettlement offices, with support from the resettlement offices of the Sanming 7 Yong-Wu Expressway Co. Ltd. And the Longyan Yong-Wu Expressway Co. Ltd. A total of 125 persons participated in the survey, with a total of 1126 materials collected and a total of 920 affected households investigated. In the light of the World Bank expert's comments on the RAP draft report, further field survey was carried out over 18 - 20 January 2006, with assistance from each of the affected townships and villages. The detailed lists of the project impact are as follows. 2.3 Land Acquisition The land acquisition data in this RAP draft report is based on the alignment recommended by the preliminary design, which may be changed in accordance with review and approval procedures, so that the final land acquisition and resettlement data of the affected villages and population shall be based on the actual construction plan. According to the field survey based on the preliminary design, the total land acquisition will be 22740.32 mu, 9291.51 mu of which are arable land accounting for 40% of the total, including 1167.18 mu dry land, accounting for 12.6%, paddy field 7829.94 mu, accounting for 84.3%; and 13448.81 mu of which are non-arable land accounting for 59.1% of the total, including 11378.42 mu wood land, accounting for 84.6%, 276 mu waste land accounting for 2.1 %.

Annual per capita disposable income of urban residents reached CNY7595.5, 34 increased by 8.8% compared with that in 2003. Annual per capita net income for farmers reached CNY3538, increased by 6.1%. Per capita floor space of houses for urban residents was 26.46 square meters, and that for rural residents 21.44 square meters in 2004. 3.1.3 Socioeconomic analysis of the affected counties Table 3-1 and Table 3-2 list some basic socioeconomic indicators of the affected counties. It can be seen from table 3-1 that the per capita arable land area for the four counties is over 0.70 - 1.152 mu, still higher than the provincial average (0.60 mu; and that the average per mu rice output for the four counties is over 345 - 389 kg. As can be seen from Table 3-2, the annual GDP growth rate for the four counties is lower than the provincial average; and the annual per capita disposable income of urban residents is far less than the provincial average, particularly for the three counties of Longyan it is below CNY7600, CNY3500 less than the provincial average. As for farmer's annual net income, it is CNY4398 for Yongan county, higher than the provincial average, and it is about CNY3500 for the counties of Wuping, Shanghang and Liancheng, which is CNY500 less than the provincial average. On the whole, the three counties of Longyan municipality are in the west Fujian mountain area, with weak industrial foundation and under developed infrastructures, so that their socioeconomic development relatively lags behind that of the coastal area. Yongan county is located in the mid west Fujian province, a transport hub area, relatively economically developed as one of the top ten counties in Fujian province, with farmer's annual net income CNY900 more than the average of the other three counties. 35 Table 3-1 Some Socioeconomic Indicators of the Affected Areas (2004) Population (000) Per capita Rice Per capita floor space Total Farmer Land area Output Urban Rural (mu) (kg/mu) (mZ) (m Sanming 2679.4 1815.4 - 39.7 Yongan 319.1 147.8 0.70 389 40.6(town) Longyan 2869.8 2029.8 - - 31.91 35.6 Liancheng 326.9 276.9 0.77 376 36.36 28.3 Shanghang 481.9 392.1 0.80 345 26.37 41.50 Wuping 365 295 1.152 349 26.46 21.44 Table 3-2 Some Socioeconomic Indicators of the Affected Areas (2004) Output Value Resident income Total Growth Industry Agricultural Urban Rural (CNY bil.)

In terms of the per capita farm land area, Shanghang county is the lowest, over 0.55 - 0.77 mu, followed by Liancheng and Wuping, about 1.4 mu; with the towns of Hongtian and Xiaotao of Yongan county the highest over 1.4 mu. Of the total affected villages, there are 69 villages will be involved in the land acquisition and the resettlement, accounting for 26% of the total, 13 of which are in Yongan county, with 25 in Liancheng county, 20 in Shanghang and 11 in Wuping county. Table 3-4 shows some basic facts of the affected villages. The laborers refer to those of 16 - 60 years old, and the other land mainly including hilly land, orchard, house site, waste land, path for farm-use tractors, etc. 37 Table 3-4 Some Basic Facts of the Affected Areas (2004) Population Arable land Other Town Village -ln Total |Femal Labower Total Pady | Dry Pool land _ _ _ _ _(mu) Yongan County Shangjishan 697 320 409 429 339 40 50 6985 Yan- Xialing 494 250 290 924 800 119 5 9932 xi Dalian 1098 508 618 2106 1671 412 23 15585 Jinglong 748 402 580 1010 1010 0 0 9746 Hong- Guihu 730 350 401 950 780 170 0 8550 tian Hongtian 890 458 476 1001 993 8 0 6550 Mahong 1316 586 785 1336 500 800 36 16664 Shuixi 834 415 620 1035 857 173 5 10965 Shangji 424 207 328 617 617 0 0 7554.4 Xiao- Jiancun 1173 437 667 1605 1530 75 0 19395 tao Dataokou 1335 658 809 1709 1709 0 0 8204.8 Meiban 1085 517 591 1495 1495 0 0 12444 Zhongban 806 376 395 934 934 0 0 16942 Liancheng County Lelian 2371 1263 1096 1026 910 105 11 12542 Lejiang 2688 1341 1152 1318 1000 310 8 600 Liangmeng 1350 705 450 895 769 106 20 8350 Xinquan 4233 2016 1988 1092 1082 0 10 7368 Xin- Liangfu 2580 1223 1068 1209 975 230 4 1050 qan Qingan 1135 535 450 740 640 80 20 10780 Beicun 3217 1683 1716 1018 900 105 13 1798 Lianxi 2288 1136 915 696 400 250 46 19600 Xicun 1973 980 980 900 500 390 10 5245 Tianma 1722 712 864 1914 1620 120 174 14165 Peng- Pengkou 5210 3050 2750 2455 2294 105 56 26026 kou Wangcheng 932 419 460 868 692 122 54 7843 Liangzeng 1682 890 706 1165 1100 50 15 14155 Dadi 340 210 280 615 615 0 0 11250 Fudi 1217 617 720 2580 2000 80 500 24974 Wenbao 2017 1000 900 1730 1500 200 30 19445 heng Wenpi 3820 1920 2100 2233 2200 33 0 8650 heng Zhugang 1711 821 1200 1510 1510 0 60 6960 Longgang 2002 970 850 1984.8 1624.8 240 120 12211 Nankeng 1385 623 621 1937.8 1917.8 0 20 20402 To be continued 38 Table 3-4 Some Basic Facts of the Affected Areas (2004) Population Arable land Other Town Village l ll l lland Total Femal L|aborer Total Pady Dry Pool Liancheng County Chengdou 1048 500 600 524 424 100 0 41000 Xiabao 3324 1669 1994 1109 1016 82 11 20749 Gu- Zhongbao 3866 1938 1440 1856 1645 182 29 18078 tian Shangbao 3069 1490 1285 1895 1877 18 0 26710 Quxicun 1786 862 1120 1689 1595 94 0 2846.4 Shanghang County Xiache 1061 525 375 715 715 0 0 27500 Mayangdong 751 380 320 527 350 175 2 10020 Nan- Haodong 3428 1650 1200 2570 2400 140 30 27000 yang Sheshan 4619 2402 1386 3010 1000 2000 10 19504 Shuangxi 1480 720 650 940 940 0 0 7000 Chenkeng 516 315 300 268 208 50 10 3369 Caixi Xiawang 1350 720 580 980 950 28 2 6350 Rongshi 1127 545 525 977 890 57 30 20939 Tiechang 1182 582 807 810 400 400 10 6120 Jiuxian Shizhen 2128 1017 1163 1505 1125 367 13 3810 Meixi 3178 1713 1300 2421 1871 500 50 6608 Shiqi 779 370 510 500 500 0 0 1800 Lin- Gushi 1081 431 386 892 657 222 13 7925 cheng Jiuzhou 2600 1680 1500 1700 1000 600 100 15000 Fugu 886 465 460 650 470 150 30 2850 Lin- Xijiao 1936 986 950 3100 1300 1500 300 7480 cheng Chengbei 2300 1640 1180 880 650 130 100 1200 Xinan 2167 1115 923 2180 1800 80 300 10160 Wenguang 1485 738 680 1600 1230 320 50 12190 Huyang __I Tongqiao 1694 855 860 1230 1122 108 0 6864 To be continued 39 Table 3-4 Some Basic Facts of the Affected Areas (2004) Population Arable land Other TownTotal Femal Total Pady Dry Pool land Wuping County Shuangfang 3043 1450 1200 2850 1850 700 300 18338 Fenggui 2005 650 1180 1740 740 800 200 11700 Yanqian Longjing 1055 650 400 600 500 50 50 14400 Lingqian 4725 2890 3200 1960 1200 760 0 6122 Liming 1730 830 810 1350 960 370 20 8750 Xiongxin 1846 956 752 1248 1217 21 10 1500 Sanfang 1584 768 610 588 500 40 48 2870 Shifang Gaowu 4800 2500 1600 3000 2900 80 20 300 Jixian 2314 1204 1230 1457 1200 240 17 2100 Niushentang 2507 1373 893 1548 1506 21 21 19056 Xianshui 2600 1300 1150 1400 900 480 20 6700 Of the total affected villages, there are a total of 27107 households, with total population of 132553, with average of 4.89 per household. 98.5 of the affected population are in rural areas, with females of 67477, accounting for 50.91% of the total; laborers of 63745 accounting for 48.10% of the total. Total arable land area of the affected 69 villages is 95306.6 mu, including 77092.6 mu of paddy land accounting for 80.89% of the total, 15188 mu of dry land accounting for 15.94% of the total, 3086 mu of pool accounting for 3.24% of the total. The per capita arable land area is 0.73 mu, including 0.59 mu of paddy land, 0.12 mu of dry land. Table 3-5 show the variation and distribution of per capita arable land area of the affected 69 villages.

To assess the nature and magnitude of the resettlement sample survey was conducted during the socioeconomic survey, covering a total of 33 affected villages and 920 affected households with interviews and questionnaire. The selected 33 samples of the affected villages include those at the interchange areas, involving great amount of land acquisition and resettlement activities, and at places with more poverty populations or at historical culture sites. The sample survey covers about 68% of the affected houses and 60% of the land acquisition. There is no minority nationality in the YWE project area. 3.2.3 Sample survey of the affected households The sample survey of the affected households was conducted over September - October 2005. (1) Sampling There are a total 9331 households and population of 45578 affected by the land acquisition and resettlement for the YWE project.

(ii) Survey of vulnerable groups In accordance to the criteria set forth by Fujian provincial and local governments, per capita annual average income less than CNY1 000 is the poverty line. Those with per capita annual average income over CNY1001 - 1500 are defined as low income household or population. Of the total 920 sample households, there are 40 households are of poverty and low income accounting for 4.35% of the total, with population of 138, including 16 households under the poverty line, 12 households with sick person, 8 single elder households, 3 single female parent family and one low income household. (iii) Sex-role homogeneity The status and role of females in the Project affected area were included in the survey. It is found that the status and role of women in the YWE project area are basically equal and husband and wife have decision-making rights with major family decisions usually jointly made based on consultation. Men would be given the role to work and secure income for the family, while women would have more opportunities taking part in public meetings in the village. It is found from the survey that women earn over 20% - 60% of the family income. Boys and girls have equal educational opportunity. Parents usually do their best to send their children to study in school, but there are more girls discontinue their study than boys. (iv) Issues mostly concerned by the affected persons It is found from the survey that the issues mostly concerned by the affected persons are as the following. * Full payment of the compensation directly to the affected households; * The relocation site should be properly selected taking into account of accessibility and mobility and the living environment; * More area for the new house site to facilitate animal husbandry activity; * Demolition and relocation activities should be arranged in slack season with little interference with farm work; * Those with loss of contracted land arising from the land acquisition hope to get enough compensation by land reallocation; * Women, particularly those under the age of 30, hope to get professional trainings, such as hairdressing, hotel and restaurant, for employment opportunity. 3.2.4 Affected enterprises Most of the affected enterprises are small ones, private owned based on the land rent from household contracted land. The employees are local farmers. Measures 43 have been taken in the preliminary design to minimize the enterprise relocation activities, so that there are only a few enterprise land and buildings affected. For the managers of the affected enterprises, they do not care about the relocation, since their land is rent and it is an opportunity for them to find a better place and they concerned more about full compensation. For those not involved in the land acquisition and resettlement activities, they hope that the YWE project should have little impact as far as possible on their normal production and living condition of their employees. The survey shows that about 63% of the employees of the affected enterprises surveyed do not want their enterprises to be relocated, because of the possible loss of their job; and 30% of the employees do not care about the relocation and their job and seem confident to find better job. However, they all hope to get enough compensation and assistance from the resettlement office to find a better job. 44 Table 3-7 Basic Facts of the Affected Households from the Sample Survey Item Unit Sampled Yongan Liancheng Shanghang Wuping Total Average Total Average Total Average Total Average Total Average A.

Therefore, there are more rural residents to develop animal husbandry or to go to cities to find work, particularly for youths with higher education. The YWE project will have the following impacts on the local production system and the local people' life. (1) Arable land is the major source for rural residents' subsistence, the land acquisition of the YWE project will result in the loss of the arable land for affected households, which need to be compensated through resettlement, including giving employment opportunity, the improvement of production and living environment. For those to be locally resettled in farm land with little change of traditional production mode, their living standards would be restored and improved before long, so the impact may not be so great. For those to be resettled in the field other than farmland, they have to select a new life style by learning new ways for subsistence and to be familiar to new work, so it would take time for them to adapt to the new environment and their living standard may be lowered for the time being. (2) There are certain impacts on those with their household income mainly from places other than farm land, the impact of the land acquisition and resettlement for the YWE project would be relatively limited. (3) A lot of work will be needed in the process of the relocation of the houses, which are time consuming and labor intensive, not convenient for daily life. Despite all these impacts caused by the YWE project, the opportunities for the reform of the local socioeconomic system created by the same will be attractive. After completion of the YWE project, it will play an important role in the facilitation of the commodity flow in the western Fujian province and further improvement of the living standards the people in the mountain area. 3.4 Points of Attention for the Resettlement Action Plan Based on the socioeconomic survey of the affected area, attentions need to be paid to the following issues. (1) Three of the four affected counties are poverty counties by the national criteria of the poverty line. Thoughfful resettlement action plan should be formulated for all the counties affected, so that the living standards of the affected should be improved, or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to he beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher. 48 (2) Agricultural production is the major revenue source of the affected households, the impact arising from the requisition of the arable land will be substantial for the affected households, so it is necessary to reallocate the arable land for the affected households as much as possible for the affected people. (3) The compensation money should be directly paid to the affected persons to reduce intermediate hand as far as possible. Supervision should be strengthened over the handover of the compensation payment to prevent the compensation fees from being embezzled or diverted. (4) The relocation site should properly selected in local area not far from local village, taking into consideration of accessibility and mobility as well as living environment. 49 4.

The compensation criteria may be set forth by the governments at city/county level and should be submitted to the higher-level government for approval. 59 The cut-down ground attachments, such as trees (fruit tree, bamboo) on requisitioned land shall be handed over to the owner of the attachments and the compensation criteria shall be as the following. (1) For damaged young trees, the compensation shall be 1 to 2 times the production cost verified by the local forestry administration authority. For damaged middle age forest, the compensation shall be 40 - 60% of the accumulated per-mu output value of the grown-up trees. For damaged grown-up forest, the compensation shall be 30% of the accumulated per-mu output value of the grown-up trees. (2) For damaged bamboos, the compensation shall be 2 times the output value of the accumulated cut-down bamboos. (3) For requisitioned fruit trees growing land or other economic woodland the compensation shall be 2 to 7 times the annual average output value of the requisitioned land calculated on the basis of 4 years preceding such requisition. For trees with no fruits ever produced, the compensation shall be 2 times of the original cost. For trees with fruits produced, the compensation shall be 4 to 7 times the average annual output value of the requisitioned land on the basis of the harvesting cycle and the state of growing of the fruit trees. (4) For woodland with special purpose trees and shelter forest, the compensation shall be 4 to 7 times as much as that for similar trees. (5) For fuel forest the compensation shall be 40 - 60 % of that for commercial forest with similar trees. No compensation should be made for illegally build buildings and crops rush-planted and ground attachments rush-built after the land acquisition having been made to the public. Article 32 When the land compensation and the resettlement subsidies released according to the Measures for the Implementation of the Land Administration in Fujian Province are still insufficient to enable those who need to be resettled to maintain their original living standards, the resettlement subsidies may be increased appropriately provided it is approved by the provincial people's government. But the resettlement subsidies shall not be more than 15 times the average annual output value of the requisitioned land calculated on the basis of 3 years preceding such requisition. When the State Council has adjusted the criteria for land compensation and the resettlement subsidies for the requisitioned land, the provincial government shall adjust the compensation criteria accordingly based on the actual condition of the province. 60 Article 33 The average annual output value shall be calculated by the average annual yield in the previous 3 years (4 years for fruit trees and economic wood) times the state specified price. In case no state specified price is available, it shall be done at the market price published or accepted by the local price administration department. The average annual yield mentioned above should be the average of the sum of that harvested from the requisitioned land calculated on the basis of 3 years preceding such requisition, as recorded by the local statistic department of the township. Article 34 For requisitioned land for non-agricultural use of the state-owned land previously used as agricultural, wood, pasture, fruits, tea and fish raising farms, or the collective-owned land, the resettlement subsidies shall be paid in accordance with the land acquisition compensation criteria and the measures. 4.5.2 Other relevant requirements To protect the legal rights of the farmer affected by land acquisition and resettlement, to make sure proper arrangement of necessary land use for social economic development, and to maintain social stability of the rural society, the Fujian People's Government issued a document of "Notice of Fujian Provincial People's Government Concerning Strengthening the Administration of the Land Acquisition Compensation to Protect the Legal Rights of the Affected Farmers" on 14 January 2004. The main contents of the Notice are as the following. (1) Strictly implementation of the legal compensation criteria The compensation for the land requisitioned at the municipal and county levels shall not be lower than the criteria provided by the law, except for the for the projects defined under Article 31 of the Measures for the Implementation of the Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China in Fujian Province. For requisitioned cultivated land, which belongs to paddy field, vegetable plot, fish pond, the amount of compensation shall not be lower than 8.5 times the average annual output value of the acquired land in the previous 3 years; for the taken-over for use of the other types of arable land, the amount of compensation shall not be lower than 6.5 times the average annual output value of the acquired land in the previous 3 years. The compensation criteria for the land acquisition and resettlement for each of the affected persons shall not be lower than 4.5 times the average annual output value of the acquired land in the previous 3 years for the cultivated land, and shall not be lower than 3.5 times the average annual output value of the acquired land in the previous 4 years for orchard and other economic woodland. (2) Make sure full payment of the land compensation To make sure full payment of the land compensation fee to the PAPs, special 61 bank account for the land acquisition shall be established with no less than 50% of the land acquisition compensation fund deposited in the said bank account. The certificate of the said bank account shall be presented together with the application documents for the conversion of use and acquisition of farm land submitted for approval. Full payment of the land compensation fee shall be made to the affected rural collective economic organization and the farmer in three months after the approval of the land acquisition and resettlement scheme. Before the full payment of the compensation fee, the affected rural collective economic organization and the farmer shall have rights to refuse handing over the land to be requisitioned. (3) Reform of payment of land compensation The land compensation fee shall be paid directly to the PAPs by the municipal and county land resource administration department, in accordance with the list of the PAPs and the compensation scheme submitted by the rural collective economic organization. Compensations for young crops and the ground attachments should be paid to entitled land contractors or the ground building owners. No less than 70% of the land compensations should be paid to the farmers, who can not get proper contracted land in terms of quantity and quality through the land readjustment. For concentrated resettlement organized by the collective economic organization or unit, the compensation shall be paid to the said organization or unit, otherwise the compensation fee shall be paid to the PAPs. (4) To strengthen the supervision of the land compensation administration The compensations paid to the collective economic organization or unit in accordance with the laws and regulations shall be used specifically for the PAPs and shall not be withheld or misappropriated. Any infringement or dereliction of duty shall be punished by law, and the government also released relevant laws and regulations on the punishments (including criminal and civil liabilities). 4.6 World Bank document OP 4.12 4.6.1 Policy objectives Involuntary resettlement may cause severe long-term hardship, impoverishment, and environmental damage unless appropriate measures are carefully planned and carried out. For these reasons, the overall objectives of the Bank's policy on involuntary resettlement are the following: (1) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring all viable alternative project designs. (2) Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs, providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits. Displaced persons should be meaningfully consulted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement 62 programs. (3) Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to he beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher. 4.6.2 Those in need of compensation and resettlement People in need of compensation and resettlement including those who are caused by the involuntary taking of land resulting in: (1) relocation or loss of shelter; lost of assets or access to assets; or loss of income sources or means of livelihood, whether or not the affected persons must move to another location; or (2) the involuntary restriction of access9 to legally designated parks and protected areas resulting in adverse impacts on the livelihoods of the displaced persons. 4.6.3 Required measures The resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are: (1) provided prompt and effective compensation at full replacement cost for losses of assets attributable directly to the project. (2) If the impacts include physical relocation, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are provided assistance (such as moving allowances) during relocation; and provided with residential housing, or housing sites, or, as required, agricultural sites for which a combination of productive potential, locational advantages, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the old site. (3) The resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework also include measures to ensure that displaced persons are offered support after displacement, for a transition period, based on a reasonable estimate of the time likely to be needed to restore their livelihood and standards of living; and provided with development assistance in addition to compensation measures as mentioned above; such as land preparation, credit facilities, training, or job opportunities. (4) To achieve the objectives of this policy, particular attention is paid to the needs of vulnerable groups among those displaced, especially those below the poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and children, indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities, or other displaced persons who may not be protected through national land compensation legislation. (5) Preference should be given to land-based resettlement strategies for displaced persons whose livelihoods are land-based. These strategies may include resettlement on public land, or on private land acquired or purchased for resettlement. Whenever replacement land is offered, resettlers are provided with land for which a combination of productive potential, locational advantages, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the land taken. 63 If land is not the preferred option of the displaced persons, the provision of land would adversely affect the sustainability of a park or protected area, or sufficient land is not available at a reasonable price, non-land-based options built around opportunities for employment or self-employment should be provided in addition to cash compensation for land and other assets lost. The lack of adequate land must be demonstrated and documented to the satisfaction of the Bank. (6) Payment of cash compensation for lost assets may be appropriate where (a) livelihoods are land-based but the land taken for the project is a small fraction of the affected asset and the residual is economically viable; (b) active markets for land, housing, and labor exist, displaced persons use such markets, and there is sufficient supply of land and housing; or (c) livelihoods are not land-based. Cash compensation levels should be sufficient to replace the lost land and other assets at full replacement cost in local markets. 4.7 Principles for Compensations for the YWE project The following principles should be adhered in accordance with the World Bank policy on involuntary resettlement, to make sure that the PAPs' living standard can be restored in short period and get improved rapidly. * The amount of compensation for any property shall be equal to the cost of its replacement, not to its depreciated cost. * All the PAPs should have rights to get the compensation even though they may have no legal entitlement of the land, the house or productive activity, except for those unauthorized occupy or use the land and the house in the project area beyond the specified time limit. * The compensatory damages shall be paid before the requisition of the land and property. * When rehabilitation needs time, e.g. construction of the house or part of the house, the compensatory damages shall be paid to the affected persons at the time he/she needs money to start the restoration of his/her property. * The final aim for compensation to the PAPs is to improve their living standards above the present level. * When the PAPs can not maintain their previous living standards after the total land compensation and resettlement subsidies having been raised up to 25 times criteria, the local governments may use the revenue from the state owned land use fee as the government grant to the compensation, but the compensation criteria for the land acquisition and resettlement for each of the affected persons shall not be higher than 30 times the average annual output value of the acquired land in the previous 3 years. * The ratio of compensation shall be negotiated and agreed on between the resettlement office and the representatives of the affected people (a production group or collective economic organization of village/town). * The resettlement subsidy shall be paid to the person (unit or collective economic organization) to be resettled in its amount. The recipient of the 64 compensation and subsidy is not subject to pay tax for those incomes. * During temporary land occupation, the arable layer of arable land should be preserved. Once the temporary land occupation is over, the arable layer of arable land should be put back. If the productivity of the land cannot be restored immediately, the difference in the income produced by the land before and after the project will be paid to the PAPs until the previous productivity of the land is restored. * In accordance to the provisions issued by Fujian provincial people's government, the relocation of the power supply, water supply, underground communications broadcasting and TV cables within the expressway land use area shall be carried out by the affected units. 4.8 The Criteria for Compensations for the YWE project The compensation criteria for the YWE project are determined with reference to those for other similar projects. Since the design of the YWE project is still going on, some of the criteria for particular items may be different, further adjustment of the criteria may be necessary once all the affected items are finalized. 4.8.1 Criteria for land compensation The land compensation criteria is based on the land classification of cultivated land (including paddy, dry and vegetable land), orchards, non-economic woodland, non-used land (waste land) and built-up area land. The compensation criteria for vegetable land are the same as that for paddy land. Table 4-1 - Table 4-4 show the criteria, which are the averages and may be different according to the particular plant. (1) Compensation criteria for cultivated land Compensation criteria for cultivated land are shown in Table 4-1. (2) Compensation criteria for orchard The compensation for orchard shall be calculated according to the criteria as the following: * For land compensation for orchard shall be 60% of that for the paddy field (the criteria adopted for Yanxi of Yongan should be the same those for each of the other towns of Yongan). * The resettlement compensation shall be no less than 3 times the average annual output value of the requisitioned land calculated on the basis of 4 years preceding such requisition. * There are two cases for compensation for young plants and ground attachments: for young trees with no fruits ever produced, the compensation shall be 2 times of the original cost. For trees with fruits produced, the compensation shall be 4 to 7 times the average annual output value of the requisitioned land on the basis of the harvesting cycle and the state of growing of the fruit trees, with the details shown in Table 4-2. * Compensation criteria for scattered fruit trees are shown in Table 4-3. For orange tree, big tree refers to that with crown diameter over 1.8m, median 65 tree refers to that with crown diameter over 1.0 - 1 .8m, and small tree refers to that with crown diameter less than 1.0m. For other fruit trees, big tree refers to that with crown diameter over 2.5m, median tree refers to that with crown diameter over 1.5 - 2.5m, and small tree refers to that with crown diameter less than 1.5m. Compensation for saplings is CNY2 each.

For damaged middle age forest, the compensation shall be 40% of the accumulated per-mu output value of the grown-up trees. For damaged young trees, the compensation shall be 2 times the production cost verified by the local forestry administration authority. The details are shown in Table 4-4. For orange tree, big tree refers to those with crown diameter over 1.8m; Table 4-4 Compensation Criteria for Noneconomic Woodland (Unit: CNY/mu) Plant AAOV Land Young crops Mature 2000 4400 600 Pine Middle 4400 800 Young 4400 450 Mature 2100 4400 630 Yongan Fir Middle 4400 840 county Young 4400 480 Bamboo 600 4400 1200 Poplar 1750 4400 700 Others 1300 4400 500 Mature 2000 4000 600 Pine Middle 4000 800 Young 4000 450 Other Mature 2100 4000 630 Three Fir Middle 4000 840 counties Young 4000 480 Bamboo 600 4000 1200 Poplar 1750 4000 700 Others 1300 4000 500 67 (4) Compensation criteria for other requisitioned lands Compensation criteria for other requisitioned lands are as the following. * Land compensation for non-used land shall be 15% of that for the paddy field (the criteria adopted for Yanxi of Yongan should be the same those for each of the other towns of Yongan). * Land compensation for built-up area land shall be the same as that for non-used land, with the details shown in Table 4-5.

(1) Compensation criteria for loss of land Compensation for loss of land is mainly to compensate all the expected product output or revenue from the land requisitioned. The compensation is calculated based on the annual output of the land and the occupation time period of the land. According to the time schedule of the YWE project, construction work shall start at the end of 2006 and end at the end of 2009, with total construction period of three years. Based on the consultation with the affected units and persons, the compensation criteria for temporary land use have been determined preliminarily as shown in Table 4-6. Table 4-6 Compensation Criteria for Temporary Land Use (Unit: CNY/mu) Land type Paddy I Vegetable Dry Orchard Wood Unused Area\ Pdy/Vgtbe Dr rhr od Uue Yongan Yanxi 1400 1100 900 700 200 county Others 1200 1000 900 700 200 Other 3 counties 1200 1000 900 700 200 (2) Compensation criteria for young crops Compensation criteria for young crops on temporary use land are calculated in accordance to those as shown in Table 4-1 - Table 4-3. (3) Compensation for reclamation of land Compensation for reclamation of land is used for reclamation of the turned back of the temporary used land. The compensation criteria are determined according to the actual needs. Since the reclamation work should be carried out by the Employer 68 of the project, the compensation criteria are considered in this RAP report. 4.8.3 Compensation criteria for houses and ground attachments According to Article 30 under the "Measures for the Implementation of the Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China in Fujian Province", no compensation should be made for illegally build buildings and crops rush-planted and ground attachments rush-built after the land acquisition having been made to the public. However, as required by the World Bank policy, all the PAPs should have rights to get the compensation even though they may have no legal entitlement of the land, the house or productive activity, except for those unauthorized occupy or use the land and the house in the project area beyond the specified time limit; and the amount of compensation for any property shall be equal to the cost of its replacement, not to its depreciated cost. Therefore the World Bank policy shall be followed for the YWE project. In October 2005, the Fujian provincial and local Resettlement Offices and the RAP study team investigated the replacement costs of houses with typical structures such as concrete frame, brick/concrete, brick/wood/stone, and etc. with the results shown as follows. Replacement cost for building of brick concrete structure Shangjishan village, Yanxi township of Yongan county Household owner: Chen Weiqing The house is a 2-story building 1.5km away from Yongan urban area, and it was built in September 2003 with floor area of 300 square meters. The costs of the building are as the following: Steel bar: CNY17540 (including transport cost), purchased from Yongan building material market, with transport distance of 1.5 km. Cement: total 35 tons cost CNY10500, with unit cost of CNY300/ton (including transport cost), purchased from cement plant with transport distance of 2.5 km. Wood: total five cubic meters cost CNY41 00, with unit cost CNY820/cubic meter (including transport cost), purchased from Yongan building material market, with transport distance of 1.5 km. Stone: total 59 truck load cost CNY4284, with unit cost CNY72 per truck load about 2.7tons (including transport cost), purchased location 2.7km from the house site. Pre-manufactured plate: total 136 meters cost CNY2040, with unit cost CNY15 per meter (including transport cost), purchased from Yongan building material market, with transport distance of 1.5 km. Aluminum alloy: total 27 kg cost CNY8910, with unit cost CNY27 per kg (including transport cost), purchased from Yongan building material market, with transport distance of 1.5 km. Bricks: total 71000 pieces cost CNY 13490, with unit cost CNYO.19 per piece 69 (including transport cost), purchased from local brick plant with transport distance of 1.5km. Sand: total 100 cubic meters cost CNY2600, with unit cost CNY26 per cubic meter (including transport cost), purchased locally with transport distance 1.5km. Glass: total 45 square meters cost CNY720 with unit cost CNY16 per square meter (including transport cost), purchased from Yongan building material market, with transport distance of 1.5 km. Outsourced man-hour: total 400 man-day cost CNY1 0000, with unit cost CNY25 per man-day. Electrician and carpenter: cost CNY6000. Cables, electric wires, TV, telephone: CNY2200. Other materials: CNY2000. House site and formality costs: CNY9000 Total construction cost excluding house site and formality costs: CNY92348. According Mr. Chen, the house is above the average standard level and quite new. Based on this cost estimation, taking into possible cost increase of the building materials in the year of 2005, the compensation criteria for buildings over CNY360 - CNY400 per square meter should be acceptable, excluding house site and formality costs. For other type buildings, similar cost estimation was made based on the building material cost in the year of 2005. Table 4-7 shows the summary of the cost estimation and the preliminary compensation criteria for each type of buildings are shown in Table 4-8, which is the results of consultation with the project affected persons. The field survey shows that of the PAPs living in earth wood structured houses some are low income households and some are planning to build new houses in the near future. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct feasibility analysis of the compensation criteria for earth wooden structured houses. The sample survey shows that the average population per household affected by the project is 5.3 persons, with average floor area of 172 square meters per household, per capita floor area of 32.5 square meters. 78% - 85% of the houses were built 15 years ago, the earliest over 30 years ago. So about 40% of the households are going to build their new houses in 3 to 5 years, and about 70% of the households will build brick wooden structured houses, and the rests have not decided as for which structure they are going to select. Through consultation with the PAPs living in earth wooden structured houses, the compensation criteria for the said house is set at CNY260 per square meter of floor area. For those still hope to build earth wooden structured houses, they will build new houses of the same structure and size as before. For those hope to build brick wooden structured houses, the compensation for average household with 172 70 square meters of floor area, per capita floor area of 32.5 square meters, will be enough for building brick wooden structured houses with floor area of 149 square meters, with per capital floor area over 28 square meters, up to or above the standard for a well-off society as specified by the State. Therefore it can be sure that the compensation criteria for earth wooden structured houses will not lower the living standard for the PAPs.

The final criteria shall be determined based on actual structure of the attached facilities. Local people attached great importance to their ancestor tombs, so that they would select proper place to build tombs in memory of their ancestors regularly. Therefore special attentions have been paid to the relocation of the ancestor tombs affected by the YWE project, and the compensation criteria for the tomb relocation have been preliminarily set based on the consultations with the PAPs taking into account of the tomb structure, as shown in Table 4-10. 72 Table 4-10 Compensation Criteria for Tomb Relocation Structure Type CNY / tomb Single 200 Earth Double 300 Single 400 Brick Double 500 Single 600 Stone Double 700 4.8.5 Compensation criteria for scattered resettlement To make sure the living standard of the PAPs not being lowered, compensation criteria for scattered resettlement of the PAPs within existing villages, should include relocation fee, transitional residence fee, and the costs for relocation site leveling, water/power supply, and road access necessary for the resettlement. Taking into consideration of the impact on PAPs physical conditions, which may happen during the relocation process, some medical fees may be paid by the project resettlement office for those who might be injured or have disease during the relocation. Table 4-11 shows the resettlement compensation criteria for scattered resettlement. It should be noted that the road access will be the responsibility of the project resettlement office.

In addition to the relocation fee, transitional residence fee, and the costs for relocation site leveling, water/power supply, and road access, the following fees should be taken into account for compensation for concentrated resettlement. (1) Green plantation: to create an amiable living environment, for concentrated 73 resettlement site , it is necessary to plant trees and grasses surrounding the resettlement sites. (2) Drainage system: drainage system necessry for concentrated residential area should be provided. (3) Threshing ground: it is indispensable for agricultural production to have threshing ground for concentrated resettlement site, and its construction cost should be considered. (4) Education and medical service: if the concentrated resettlement site is far from the original living place of the PAPs, new education and medical service facilities may be necessary for the site, together with necessary services and employees. (5) Fuel supply: traditionally, local people depend on wood and coal from near-by mountains used for daily life. If wood and coal are not available at the resettlement site, fuel supply necessary for people's daily life should be taken into account at the site. (6) Shopping facility: shopping facility may be necessary for the resettlement site, if shopping is not convenient. (7) Administration facility or offices: if the resettlement site is large enough to form an administrative village, it is necessary to have administration facility or offices for the site. (8) Other fees: in addition to the items mentioned above, some other contingencies may arise during the process of the resettlement, which should be taken into account. Since the costs for concentrated resettlement are rather complicated, depending on the location, the number of relocated PAPs, the relocation and construction time, the difference of the resettlement cost may be great. Therefore, the criteria for construction costs are considered in this RAP report. The resettlement office of the project has promised that compensation budget will be made for concentrated resettlement to provide enough fund to build the concentrated resettlement site, in accordance with the actual needs, to make sure the living standards of the PAPs will not be lowered after the resettlement. 4.8.7 Compensation criteria for infrastructures The compensation criteria for infrastructures should follow the principle that the relocated and reconstructed infrastructure should be at least the same as the original one, and the price should be determined based on the budget of the said infrastructure owner and the consultation between the local government and the owner. Table 4-12 shows the reference criteria. 74 Table 4-12 Compensation criteria for public facilities Item Unit Criteria 380V CNY/km 25000 Power supply 10KV CNY/km 50000 line 35KV CNY/km 120000 110KV CNY/km 300000 Telecommunication line CNY/km 80000 Broadcasting & television lines CNY/km 50000 Underground cable CNY/km 200000 Underground optical cable CNY/km 200000 Transformer CNY/unit 15000 Small microwave station CNY/unit 30000 Note: The compensation criteria in this table is for reference only, the final compensation criteria shall be in accordance with the compensation agreement with the affected owner of the facility. 4.8.8 Compensation criteria for affected enterprises The Yongan Jietong Sheet Material Manufacturer Co. Ltd. (YJSMM) and the Liancheng Pengkou Pingan Incense Plant are the enterprises' production will be affected and have to stop working for about half a year. Other affected enterprises only have some buildings, living quarters and walls to be relocated without any impact on production. Based on the consultation with each of the legal representatives of the affected enterprises, the compensation at the moment for each of the enterprises are as the following. (1) CNY350000 for YJSMM as compensation for loss of production per year, and compensation for each of the employees is CNY880 per month as compensation for loss of production. During the down-time period the taxes for the enterprise will be exempted. (2) CNY140000 for the Pingan Incense Plant as compensation for loss of production per year, and compensation for each of the employees is CNY500 per month as compensation for loss of production. During the down-time period the taxes for the enterprise will be exempted. (3) For other affected enterprises only with part of building relocation without production loss, compensation will be paid based on the relocation of building or land acquisition only, with the compensation criteria shown in Table 4-13. 75 Table 4-13 Compensation criteria for building relocation for enterprises Concrete Brick/con Brick/ Earth/ Simple Enclosur crete wood wood wall Unit CNY/m' CNY/m2 CNY/m2 CNY/m2 CNY/m2 CNY/m Criteria 570 420 330 280 80 60 4.8.9 Vulnerable groups For affected vulnerable groups identified during the field survey, including those newly discovered during the YWE project implementation period, need to be compensated based on the criteria no less than CNY3000 per household. 76 5. Resettlement and Economic Rehabilitation Planning 5.1 Resettlement Demand and Alternative Schemes There are four types of the resettlement demand affected by the YWE project as the following. (1) Private houses in the affected villages; (2) Resident houses in the affected towns; (3) Small enterprises in the affected areas; (4) Public facilities in the affected areas. Of the affected four counties, there is no particularly serious impact concentrated in one area, except for individual village. The field survey shows that most of the affected households would like to be resettled in their original villages/townships or near-by areas. 5.2 Resettlement Policy and Management 5.2.1 Resettlement policy and principles The involuntary resettlement scheme shall be based on participatory method and concept. The resettlement shall be implemented under the guiding principle of respecting the wishes of the affected persons to keep up their traditional living habits and customs. The economic rehabilitation activities for the affected areas shall be carried out locally based on available alternative agricultural resources based on full consultation with the affected persons. Plantation would be the core of the economic rehabilitation strategy by opening up wasteland and improving the existing arable land, supplemented by making use of other revenue generating opportunities in the YWE project area. In other words, the economic rehabilitation strategy for the resettlement shall be based on the establishment of a solid production foundation for the affected groups, by making full use of local land and natural resources for long term sustainable development. The fundamental principle is to ensure basic cultivated land for each of the PAPs, on the base of which other revenue generating activities might be encouraged. In accordance with the guiding principles mentioned above, a series resettlement and economic rehabilitation principles have been summarized as follows. (1) The resettlement plan shall be based on the detailed lists of the land acquisition and resettlement needs and in accordance with the compensation criteria set forth by the national and Fujian provincial governments. (2) The resettlement shall be implemented in combination with local socioeconomic development, local resources use and environmental protection 77 activities, creating conditions for long term sustainable development. (3) The resettlement action plan shall be made by following the principle of "facilitating production and convenient for daily life". (4) The principle of overall arrangement shall be adhered in the RAP, taking into consideration of the relationships between and among the state, collectives and individuals interests. The standard and scale of the reconstruction shall be based on the principle of the restoration to the original standard and scale. Any investment cost arising from enhanced standard and extended scale necessary for the relocated public facilities' future development shall be funded by the local government or relevant department concerned. The PAPs' living standard may be maintained or enhanced over the original level by making full use of local natural resources, developing water reservation and irrigation system, reclaiming unused land, improving arable land quality. (5) The resettlement action plan shall include measures to improve the living standards of the affected vulnerable groups. (6) Long term monitoring regime shall be established for the RAP for the YWE project. 5.2.2 Management of the RAP Management of the RAP shall follow the guiding principles as follows. For villages with a few resettlement of affected households (less than 20), the relocation site shall be selected locally to minimize the impact. For villages with resettlement of affected households more than 20 but less than 60, which is difficult to be resettled locally, proper relocation site might be selected suitable for farm production or close to the expressway suitable for future development. For villages with resettlement of affected households more than 60, comprehensive and integrated resettlement plan shall be worked out to ensure the realization of the objectives of the resettlement to be achieved. 5.3 Overall Scheme of the Resettlement Action Plan Since the relocation site needed for the resettlement for the YWE project land is limited and available along the YWE project area, the impact on the affected villages is not so great. Based on the local conditions as well as the comments and recommendations gotten from the consultation and public meetings during the field survey, some basic resettlement and restoration schemes have been identified as the following. (1) The affected groups to be resettled in their original villages; (2) To minimize the impact of the resettlement on the production and daily life of the affected, the houses to be resettled shall not be demolished until the completion of the new houses at the relocation sites. The construction of the new houses can either be arranged by the affected themselves by making use of materials of their 78 own, or arranged by agencies authorized by the local government for the purpose of urbanization development and effective use of farmland. (3) The affected households to be resettled in their original village area. For those who have lost part of their contracted farmland, reallocation of the farmland shall be carried out combined with the compensation payment. 5.4 Resettlement Capacity Analysis 5.4.1 Natural conditions and land resources It is important to conduct overall and in-depth analysis of the local resettlement capacity based on the locally available resources and natural conditions for locally resettled affected groups. The socioeconomic survey of 33 affected villages shows that there are enough resources, including available farmland for reallocation for the resettlement and economic rehabilitation. Of the total 69 affected villages, there are 68 villages with per capita cultivated land less than 2 mu, 49 of which (accounting for 71% of the total) with per capital cultivated land less than 1 mu. Despite the low per capita cultivated land area, for most of the 33 villages surveyed, the requisitioned land area is relatively small, so the impact on the affected villages is small. Particularly the existing cultivated land allocation is usually made in such a way that one mu of first class cultivated land in one place is shared by three to five households. Therefore, the requisition of cultivated land will not have great impact on individual household. On the contrary, the land compensation may provide opportunity for the affected household to participate activities other than the farm work. In addition, the requisitioned land only accounts for small par of each of affected villages, the agricultural production based resettlement can be implemented by making use of land reserved by collective organization, the land turned back on voluntary basis by contractors, assignment of right to land contractual management, for the PAPs to proceed with agricultural production. According to the latest land acquisition policy in Fujian province, higher compensation criteria will be implemented, including that for paddy field, which is no less than CNY26000 per mu, for dry land no less than CNY23000. Most of the compensation payment will go to the affected persons with small part retained by the village collective organization used for public welfare and community service. 5.4.2 Economic development potentials of the affected area The economy of the rural area affected by the YWE project is dominated by agricultural plantation. In recent years there were more people left for cities to find work. There are great potentials in the development of vegetable and fruit production, animal husbandry and tourism. With the improvement of transport infrastructure, the inherent advantage of the local resources will be brought in to full play. Therefore, 79 there are revenue generation opportunities for the improvement of local people's living standards, so long as comprehensive and systematic development of the local resources in agricultural, forestry, sideline production, industry combined with trade and transport service, can be materialized through investment in technology and continuous improvement in management. 5.5 Production Rehabilitation Plan During the field survey for preparation of the RAP consultation meetings were held in each of the affected counties, townships and villages with participants from the resettlement offices of the Expressway Construction Directorate of Sanming and Longyan municipalities, the consultants, local government officers, villager committee members, and representatives of the affected groups. In the meetings the guidelines for the resettlement and economic rehabilitation activities were discussed and established. Agricultural production based resettlement shall be adopted combined with cash compensation and employment opportunity provided by enterprises for the PAPs to select based on concrete conditions. The agricultural production resettlement mainly includes reallocation of the reserved arable land, reclamation of unused land, and assignment of the right to land contractual management. Agricultural production resettlement is mainly adopted for PAPs engaging farm land work supplemented with cash compensation. For the PAPs living in areas close to cities, where little reserved land and reclaimable land are available, the employment resettlement will be adopted supplemented with cash compensation. For villages with great number of PAPs to be relocated, it is necessary to work out detailed resettlement action plan at village level, taking into consideration of the following issues. Based on village or PAPs group, part of the compensation fees may be used for investment in agricultural production, to ensure health, sustainable and stable development of agricultural production. The target of maintaining and improving the living standards of the PAPs can be achieved by increasing the income per unit land area. The investment plan may be as the following. (1) Making full use of the potentials of the existing land resource, by dissemination of advanced technologies of agricultural production, introduction improved breeds into farm production, so as to increase unit land output and farmers' income. (2) To strengthen capital construction of irrigation system for the farm land to improve the capacity against flood and draught disaster, to improve agricultural production conditions, so as to maintain high and stable output of the crops. 80 (3) To restructure agricultural production output by diversified rural economy in line with local conditions, developing secondary and tertiary industries, to transform traditional agriculture and rural economy into modern ones. (4) To improve agricultural production and service system for agricultural production, with biotechnology, to develop ecological agriculture; taking the geographical advantage of being close to the expressway, to develop agricultural production related economic activities, such as processing, storage and logistics and distribution services. The above mentioned investment plan will be organized and implemented by township/villager committees subject to the approval by county level resettlement offices, under the guidance of the Provincial and municipal Resettlement Offices and supervision ands consultation of the independent monitoring agency, and will be technically supported by various departments of agricultural, water conservancy/irrigation, sideline production, husbandry and village enterprises. The investment project planning at village level shall be carried out based on full discussion and consultation between the villager committee and the representatives of the PAPs, according to the local conditions. Optimal investment project scheme shall be determined through analysis of the feedbacks from the PAPs. During the implementation of the investment project, technical assistance will be provided by County Resettlement Office and relevant agency. The County Resettlement Office will review the progress and status of the investment project plan at the village level. The Provincial and Municipal Resettlement Offices and the independent monitoring agency will irregularly examine the village level investment project, so that any problem arise during the implementation can be discovered and rectified in time and to materialize the expected target. The village level investment plan shall be submitted to the County Resettlement Office for approval and the County Resettlement Office shall pay the compensation fees by stages. 5.5.1 Land adjustment and production development plan The impact of the land acquisition and resettlement for each of the affected villages is quite different, so the resettlement scheme and economic rehabilitation plan for each of the affected villages should be developed based on the magnitude of the impact, the available land resource and the wishes of the PAPs. (1) Resettlement with agricultural production land The PAPs from 16 to 60 years old are eligible to get land, including contracted or family reserved land. There are reclaimed waste land, reclaimed unused land, lands turned back by villagers and reserved land in the project affected villages 81 available for land adjustment or reallocation for the land acquisition compensation and resettlement with arable land. Even if there is not enough arable land, there are great areas of wood land and hilly land for each of the villages, which can be used for the compensation and resettlement. Detailed adjustment or reallocation schemes may be based on the concrete conditions of each of the villages to assist forestry economic development, so as to make sure long term subsistence of the PAPs and their sustainable development. The resettlement with agricultural production also includes reallocation of the land among the PAPs and all the villagers. For villages with enough reserved land, part of the reserved land may be used to be allocated to the PAPs. For villages with reserved land not enough for the land adjustment, but with per capita arable land area greater than the township average, then reallocation of all the available land to all the PAPs and the other villagers may be carried out. The villager committee will be responsible to go through the legal formalities necessary for those going to get rights to land contractual management. (2) Employment opportunity and other ways for the resettlement Villages with reserved land not enough for overall land readjustment and with per capita arable area less than the township average, the following measures may be adopted: part of the reserved lands to be allocated to the PAPs, supplemented with wood land and hilly land; for PAPs without land allocation, employment opportunities provide by near-by village/township enterprises or the development of secondary and tertiary industries may be adopted. Enterprises with development prospects and economic benefits shall be selected to provide the employment opportunities for the PAPs and shall be able to provide the PAPs to get five-year work contracts at least for them to have enough income to be better-off. Therefore the enterprises meeting with the following requirements should be selected. * Those registered with the industrial and commercial department and have legal representatives; * Those having been in operation for over three years with products sale well in the market; * Those with annual growth rate over the previous three years above 10%; * Those can pay to the employed PAP monthly salary more than his/her income from agricultural production; 0 Those with productivity growth higher than their staff growth; * Those have capacity to increase production scale and receive new employees; * Those not far from places where the resettled PAPs are living; * Those well managed with good production conditions and environmental 82 protection measures. (3) To establish shareholding township and village companies Under the guidance of provincial and municipal resettlement offices and the assistance of municipal and township enterprise bureaus, investment projects in line with local conditions might be selected based on market survey, such as agricultural products processing, storage, agricultural related logistics and distribution services. The local government may provide preferential three year tax exemption policy for the newly established enterprises by the PAPs. Taking into consideration of the local conditions and the economic development of Yongan and Longyan counties, the following enterprises may be developed in each of the project affected villages. * Food processing: the project affected area is rich in such agricultural products as peanuts, bamboo shoots, lotus root, edible fungus, and various vegetables, food processing enterprise based on local farm products may be feasible. * Animal husbandry: pigs rich in lean meat is popular in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, with market share accounting for over 30%, and it is relatively easy for farmer to grasp the pig raising technology, to extend the pig raising business may provide employment opportunity for the PAPs. * Building material and metallurgical industry: there are abundant mineral resources in the project affected area, over 60 different kinds of minerals, which provide good conditions for the development of township and village enterprise in building and metallurgical industry. The above mentioned (2) and (3) are recommendations based on the field survey for the YWE project affected areas. The final optimal investment scheme should be discussed and determined by the PAPs and the resettlement offices at different levels, with the final scheme submitted by the YWE project resettlement office to the higher level people's government for approval. 5.5.2 Other measures for economic rehabilitation To make sure the restoration of the affected production and living standard as quickly as possible, the following measures might be taken. (1) The affected persons may have priority to get labor work and to provide local construction materials construction for the construction of the YWE project; (2) The PAPs shall be given priority to get opportunity in laborer output organized by the agencies in the YWE project area; (3) To reclaim arable land for the affected; (4) Personnel training program shall be provided for the PAPs to learn professional skills including those for agricultural and non-agricultural activities, as 83 organized by local agricultural bureau, animal husbandry bureau or the local resettlement offices with lecturers invited from county agricultural technical stations and relevant trade associations. At least two training courses shall be provided for the affected persons with cost paid by the YWE project. 5.6 Demolition and Reconstruction of Affected Houses 5.6.1 House relocation site selection and criteria There are a total of 1514 households need to be relocated in 69 villages, with 22 affected households for each of the village in average. There are 2141 households affected by arable land acquisition and 624 households need to be relocated in ten affected villages close to the interchanges, with 116 households affected by both arable land acquisition and relocation of houses. It is easy to find relocation sites for all the households to be resettled in their original villages. Some relocation sites will be arranged along the existing road area or the waste land area of the villages. The villager committees will provide assistance to the selection of the relocation sites and to go through the formalities for the resettlement. 5.6.2 Ground leveling and public facility planning (1) Relocation site leveling For relocation site involved with individual household only, the leveling of the house site will be conducted by the said household itself. For relocation site involved with quite a number of households (more than 60), the local government will assist to make uniform arrangement for the development of the house site. (2) Provision of public facilities The leveling and preparation work for the house site for the resettlement shall be carried out by contractors, who will also provide the service of connection to the public utility facilities such as water supply, power supply, broadcasting and television receiving equipment, etc. The contractor's work will be monitored by supervision company, to the satisfaction of the RAP implementation agency (the YWE project Owner) and the environmental protection department. 5.6.3 Newly built houses A total of 273736 square meters floor area of newly built houses will be constructed for the resettlement of the affected households. The construction of the new houses and demolition of the old houses for the affected households shall follow the rules as the following. (1) Compensation payment The amount of compensation for any property shall be equal to the cost of its replacement. No deduction, tax or depreciation shall be applied. The intermediary offices shall not withhold the compensation funds or spend the funds on behalf of the 84 recipients. The old and waste materials in old buildings belong to the PAPs who may use these materials in construction of the new building. In this case, no deduction will be made from the compensation to be paid to the PAPs. Compensation will be directly paid to the recipients of the compensation. The compensation should be paid to the PAPs before the new building are constructed. (2) Time schedule At least 3 months will be given for the people (households) to be resettled to select the sites for construction of new buildings, and 4 months to construction the new buildings. The sites for new buildings will be selected in the principle of local area relocation, convenient to access to public service, power and water supply, production and travel. Enough time should be given for full consultation between the township level resettlement office and villager committee and the people (households) whose buildings are to be relocated. The wishes of those who decline to be resettled in places far away from their hometown will be taken into full consideration. All the resettlement measures are comply with the relevant policies, laws and regulations and will be implemented in accordance with the World Bank policies. The alternative measures for the compensation and resettlement will be consulted about with the affected and the measures will not be implemented until they have satisfied the affected and approved by the resettlement offices at various levels and the competent authorities. (3) Public consultation The field survey shows that if temporary living houses are available under uniform overall arrangement, 96% of the affected households are in favor of the resettlement scheme of demolition of the old houses first followed by construction of the new houses. By this way, it is possible to make full use of the materials from the old houses. 5.7 Restoration of Public Facilities The affected public facilities need to relocated mainly include irrigation water channel, paths for farm-use tractors, power supply lines, and telecommunication lines. In the YWE project survey and design stage, public participation meetings were held and questionnaires were issued to collect comments and recommendations from the affected groups and the general public, which have been taken into consideration in and reflected in the resettlement action plan. 5.7.1 Relocation of affected power supply and communication facilities A number of affected power supply facilities will be relocated including a total of 159700 meters of electricity power supply lines, 73180 meters of telecommunication lines, 8620 meters of broadcasting lines, 32240 meters of underground cable, 9430 meters of underground optical cables, one transformer, five small microwave stations. According to the preliminary design, the electricity power supply lines crossing over the expressway will be heightened by enhancing the height of the poles and those need to be relocated will be rebuilt at new sites. For communication lines, those 85 crossing over the expressway will be heightened by enhancing the height of the poles and those need to be relocated will be moved away from the expressway. The county power supply bureau and communications bureau will be responsible for the relocation of the said affected facilities respectively. 5.7.2 Relocation of road and water channel A total of 12.3km of rural road and 3580 meters of water channel will be affected by the YWE project. Comments and recommendations were solicited from the affected public during the field survey made at the design stage. According to the recommendations made by the affected public, relocation of the affected road and water channel has been fully taken into account at the design stage and the relocation of the affected road and water channel will be given priority and be carried out by the contractor in accordance to the design requirements. The relocation work may be undertaken by the contractor who will carry out the YWE project or by the affected unit. All the costs of the relocation work will be defrayed by the YWE project Owner. 5.8 Rehabilitation of Land for Temporary Use Land for temporary use includes that used for sand and tone material storage, mixing plant, soil disposal site, labor camp, and temporary road. The data for temporary use land is according to the preliminary design at present. More accurate data should be based on the construction plan and it may be changed during the construction period. The temporary use land shall be rented based on the agreement between the Project Owner and the local government along the YWE project area, with rent as specified by the provincial government. The rented land for temporary use will be returned back, once the construction work is completed, and be rehabilitated to the state for its original use or farm work. Hilly land and wood land rented for temporary use should be recovered with plantation. The time period of the temporary use land is two year in principle. The turning back and rehabilitation of the temporary use land should be examined and accepted under the supervision of local environmental protection bureau. 5.9 Assistance to the Affected Vulnerable Groups The affected vulnerable groups will be given priorities in the land acquisition and resettlement in the selection of relocation site and land allocation. The township resettlement offices and villager committees shall take effective measures to take care of the vulnerable PAPs (the old, weak, sick, disabled, and female single parent families),and organize labor force to help the vulnerable groups construct new houses and move out so that they can happily move into new houses. Preference policies such as tax and fee exemption, subsidy for education, and etc will be provided for the affected groups in terms of money or in kind. 86 5.10 Time Schedule of Implementation of Resettlement Work Activities The time schedule of implementation of resettlement work activities is shown Table 5-1.

Focal Point of the Resettlement and Rehabilitation Action Plan 6.1 Introduction To achieve the objectives of the resettlement, detailed impact assessment has been made based on the field survey of the project affected villages with land acquisition accounting for over 20% of the village total arable land and the number of project affected households over 60, taken as the focal point of the resettlement and rehabilitation action plan. It should be noted that since the planning of the RAP is still being going on, the rehabilitation action plan has not been finalized. 6.2 Serious Affected Villages and Rehabilitation Action Plan The outlines and rehabilitation action plans of the seriously affected 10 villages are as follows. (1) Shangjishan village Outlines: the village is at Yanxi township of Yongan city, the start point of YWE project, with total population of 697, total land area of 7414 mu in the village, of which 429 mu are arable land. The revenue source of the village is mainly from transport, factory and grocery. Land acquisition and resettlement impact: Total land acquisition is 578.71 mu, including 389.27 mu of arable land, 189.44 mu of non-arable land. The acquisitioned land area accounts for 7.8% of total land area of the village and the acquisitioned arable land accounts for 90.7% of the total arable land of the village. A total of 154 households are affected by land acquisition. There are 54 households need to be relocated with total floor area of the houses about 6629 square meters, including 4946 square meters of brick concrete house, 1168 square meters of brick wood house, 155 square meters of earth wood house, 360 square meters of simple house. There are 12 households affected by both house relocation and land acquisition. Resettlement and rehabilitation action plan: This village is close to the suburb of Yongan county, with three expressways in its surrounding areas. Quite a number of households are engaged in transport service, groceries and labor work in urban area. Two schemes have been figured out for the use of the land acquisition and resettlement compensation payment. One is used to build shop/grocery. And another is to use the compensation payment as part of the investment combined with bank loan and investment from enterprises to develop a new resident area for the resettled households. (2) Hongtian village Outlines: the village is located at Hongtian township of Yongan city, with total; 89 population of 890, land area of 7551 mu, of which 1001 mu are arable land. The acquisitioned land area accounts for 6.41% of total land area of the village and the acquisitioned arable land accounts for 27.65% of the total arable land of the village. There are a total 154 households are affected by land acquisition, with average acquisitioned land per household about 1.8 mu. Only one household is affected by house relocation with floor area of 100 square meters house need to be relocated. Economic rehabilitation: the village is located at Hongtian interchange of the YWE, mainly affected by land acquisition. The villager committee is going to adopt two measures for the affected households for economic rehabilitation. One is reallocation of land by making use of land reserved by the village, the land turned back voluntarily by contractors who migrated to cities and woodland for the PAPs to continue agricultural production. Meanwhile, the village is planning to prepare a village level development program, to develop small processing factories, commercial business/shops and transport service by taking advantage of the improvement of the transport infrastructure system, supplemented by new land use planning to attract investors to create more employment opportunities. (3) Zhongban village Outlines: the village is located at Xiaotao township of Yongan city, with total population of 806, total land area of 17876 mu, of which 934 mu are arable land. Land acquisition and resettlement impact: there are 24 households need to be relocated with total floor area of the houses about 3132 square meters, including 266 square meters of brick wood houses, 2866 square meters of earth wood houses.
