Outline The project involves construction of a highway from Urumqi to Kuitun, a total length of about 286 Km. Four connecting roads and 15 interchanges are also proposed to be built. The proposed highway starts at Urumqi south Ulabo, where the project highway shall be connected to the Turpan-Urumqi-Dahuangshan Highway presently under construction, and ends at east suburb of Kuitun City. It passes through Urumqi County, the Prefecture of Changji (Changji City, Butubi County and Ma=asi County), Shihezi City and Prefecture of Yili at Shawan County of Tacheng Prefecture and Ruitun City. The cost estimation for this project is 5.1 billion Yuan RMB. The proposed highway is planned to commence its civil works construction in March 1997 and to be completed and opened to traffic in September 2000. Map 1 attached to this Report shows the geological location of the proposed highway. The total amount of land to be occupied permanently by the proposed highway is 1139.26 ha. (17088.9 mu) affecting 3706 persons. Also a total of 466.54 ha. (6998.1 Mu) land shall be temporarily occupied by the proposed highway. No people shall be affected by this type of occupation. The project affects 1349 persons ( including 243 staff _rom enterprises) due to resettlement of-1794 rooms or a total of 38201.2 sq.m of houses, of which, 1037 persons due to resettlement of 1541 rooms or 30063.4 sq.m of resident and non-resident houses; 243 persons due to resettlement of 129 rooms or 3121.8 sq.m of houses from 9 enterprises; 69 persons due to removal of 124 rooms or a total of 5016 sq.m of houses because of noise pollution. The main objective of this resettlement scheme is to assure that the affected people's living standard is at least restored, or even improved, after the implementation of resettlement. The people affected by the project due to acquisition of their farm land will still be working in agriculture after the acquisition of their farm land. Farm land shall be read-usted and then redistributed to them on the villager group base since each villager group has a certain amount o' mobile land to be used for such purposes. There are two ways to resettle the people affected by house removal due to this project. The new houses of these. people shall either be constructed in unity by the departments responsible for the resettlement or by the affected people thbemselves by spending the compensation fee paid to them. The work for the above mentioned resettlement and compensation shall be carried out by the Resettlement and Monitoring Office under the Resettlement Lead Group of Xinjiang High Grade Highway with the help from the local governments at each level to consult with the affected people. The affected people can participate in the preparation and implementation of the resettlement scheme. Grievance redressal mechanisms related to resettlement courses had been set in the resettlement organization of the project Meanwhile the affect people are provided with the opportunities  . to appeal. The total cost estimate for the resettlement is 143480400 Yuan RME. This amount forms part of the total coit estimate for the Urunmqi-Kuitun Highway Project. The resettlement will be finished within a period from September 1994 to February 1997. The monitoring of the acquisition and resettlement of this project needs to be carried out both internally and externally. The internal monitoring will be carried out by Resettlement and Monitoring Office and the Coordination Offices at each prefectures. The external monitoring will be the monitoring and evaluation of the independent Monitoring and Evaluation Group formed by sociologists invited by the Client. These sociologists view matters from point of view of sociology and public participation. This is to ensure that the living standard of the affected people after the resettlement are at least restored to that of before the resettlement. 2  16. tME 41 Asm 4a r-.:!r itl
