I A series of improvement and administrative measures have been takien in Guangzhlou. CitV in recent years In order to improve the transport capacity in the center. reduce traffic accidents and alleviate the transport tensioni. The transport in the center has been improved to a certain degree by unremitting efforts. However. there are still some problems such as shortage of supply and dis- sy nclhrolnism between management and development. So at present the problem of traffic jams is still serious. and the transport pressure of the center is still very heavy. 2.1.2 In March 1993, Guangzhou Municipal Government began to use thle grants of the World Bank to develop the research project of i 'Guangczh1ou Urban Transport Studv i . This research project is a strategy researcih on transport planning of Guarngzhou city (shiorted in Strategy Research belo\ ). It was required by the Banki to search the \a\ s to solve the transport problems of Guang11zhlou. and put forward the importance of the loan for Guangzhou nii.nicipal traffic facilities. In July 1994. the achievements of this research project have been appro\ed by the GuangElzILou MuNlicipal Government. the World Banlk and the domestic and foreiun experts. The development strategy of Guan21zhIou urban transport recommenlded by the Strategy Research \\ill become the guiding principle for the future implementationi of Guang-zhiou Transport Planninc. 2.1 .3 Thie the W'orld Banlk mission visited Guan(ezh1ou and talk-ed \\ ith the Inissioni of GuanU1z1Iou M4.un1icipal Government in July, 1994. considered tentati\el\ that the Researchi of "GLang-zhIOu Central Airea Traffic Improvement Schemlie linplementation'' which should contilnue after the *-Stratep Researcli". \ ould be the importanit component of the feasibilit\ stud\ on ensurin1 the Guanezilou C'it\ Center Transport Projects as the loan project of the \World Bank .

The office is in charge of daily administrative v\ork and organizes all responsible bureaus to prepare the schieme designs and feasibility studies of the sub-projects. 2.1 .5 In December 1994. the Guangiizhiou Urban and Rural Constructioni Commiission1 fornmally entrust the MIVA Asia Limited to start the research on the issue of "Guanc'zIIou Central Area Traffic Improvement Scheme Implementation''. This researcih and the feasibility studies of all tihe sub- projects have been completed in June, 1995, and passed the appraisal of domestic experts. and have beeni approved by Guangzhou Municipal Government.  2.1.6 The main contents of the "Guanczziou Central Area Traffic Improvemlienit Scheine lImpleinentatiorW include: I Fulictionial Road Hierarchv 2 Public Transport Priority Road Netw ork: 3.

City Center Transport Projects. The Inner Ring Road is a rhin road built in the central area. It can alleviate the transport pressure in the center and cushionled tihe center transport throughi settilnl up transport defenses in accordance with the principles of fuLictionial road hierarch\. system chaninlelization. The Ininer Rine Road is necessary to suit the needs of the rapid development of GuangzhouI econonl\ aind to improve the transport in the center. 2.'.' TThe schieme of the overall layout. alignment, interchialnges and ramps of the Ininer Ring Road is a conceptLial design of transport engineering. whici was further dev eloped on tihe basis of the achlie ements of Strategy Research. The estilmated total in estmenlt of the Ininer Ring Road project is o\ er 5 billion RMB which is more thani two thirds of the investment of GuanigZzILou City Center Tranisport Pro jects. A lot of traffic of the center ill be redistributed due to the llnner RinI Road completion. The average vellicle speed in the center wnill be increased by 30-50 percents and the w%aste g as of vellicle w ill be decreased by at ieast 50 percents. Each index of environmienital assessment (compared with the situation without the Inier Ring Road project) will be improved to different degrees. The Ininer Ring Road project will play an important role to reduce the environment pollutionl in the center and improve the soci-economic benefits. 2.2.3 The Ininer Ring Road will change the traffic situation of tile center. The more convenlienit tranlsport will shorteni the travel time from the periphieral areas to the center. The planned population redistributioll will drop the population density of the center and give impetus to economic development of these zones. create good social and economic benefits and ne\ boom. Transport benefit within the center is obvious. Looking from the road layout of the Ininer Ring Road and the radial roads. the peripheral areas which benefit most are: I Northwestern part of Guangzhou such as Luociloncwei. Tongdewei. Xinsli. Huainshil 2 Northieastern part of Guangzhou sucih as Tianpingjia. neie Guangconga Highway 3. Southiern part of Guangzhou such as Yanzigang and the tail of Industr\ Avenue 4. Eastern part of Guangzhou such as Yuancilun. Chigangr 5. Western part of Guangzhou such as Fangcun district  2.3 Relationship of Inner Ring Road and Resettlenterzt Povlic, Resettlement Action Plan 23.1 There are a lot of factors constrictinr the constructioni of the Ininer Rinl Road in the cit\ center. Although some measures have been adopted, such as Litilizing, existing or planined alignment in the course of the design as far as possible. constrticting, elevated roads over oricinal main roads around the city center and connectin- w ithi the roads outside center to improve traffic capacities. The different extent impact still exists along the alignment of the Inner Ring Road (especially in the section of elevated roads). Certain degree of impact on the original economic. cultural and social structure are unavoidable too in the course of demolishline some ihousi1g and infrastructLire. displacing some persons from the place of study and work to a different one. So some protection measures will be adopted so as to minimize the project impact. 2.3.2 In order to minimize the adverse impact of the project. manke tile living standards of PAPs Linaffected, and assure that PAPs wvill benefit from the project or at least restore tlheir original i'ving standards. Resettlement Policy for Inner Ring Rocd Project hias beeii prepared in accordance with the laws and regulations of PRC.

OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPLES OF RESETTLEMENT 3.1 Objectives The objectives are to ensure the PAPs wOill et the compensationis for all tile loss of thieir assets and shiare the benefits of the project througlh reasonable resettlement and good rehabilitation, be compensated for their temporary difficulties. Their income standard and living level and the capabilirt of production of enterprises and profit-making will be improved, or at least restore to the former level. 3.2 Principles 1. The design of the alignment of the Ininer Ring Road w,ill be modified appropriately to avoid the densely populated districts or multi-storied building, highi-rise buildilng and to reduce the affected rance of land acquisition and demolition as far as possible so as to minimize the involUntarv resettlement. See Section 4.2.4.1 for details. 2. The principle of reciprocal compenisation ill be carried out. Namel. that losses w ill be com pen sated wvith replacemeent cost 3. The living space will be enlarged and the necessar\ facilities will be provrided The houses will be constructed with reinforced concrete structure. All the necessar\ facilities will be well provided at thie resettlement sites xith convenient transport and life environment. 4. The affected shops. enterprises and institutionis xx ill mailitaini the original scale and fuLiction of their hLousing. The forner busilness environment will be relhabilitated as far as possible. The loss of temporary closure and temporar\ business in different place xx ill be compenisated. 5. WUhile acquirina collective land all the loss will be compenisated reasonabl>. Tlle compenisationi fees will be paid to the representative units only for dex eloping; collective econom ic acti\rities, but canniot be direrted to an! othier purpose. Non-agricUltural jobs and penisionis wvill be arranged for those farmers. 6. The affected public facilities will be demolislhed after replacement. 7 Thie development resettlement will be planned to create full employment. So that the persons can adapt thiemselves to the resettlement sites' environment and be self-relianit in economilic activities in a shiort time. Tlle responsibility of the resettlement will be transferred in time fiom resettlement ullits to the resettled persons. 8. The vulnerable groups (housellolds of the elderly without living \ith the adult sons/daughters. widows. single-parent. the disable. tihe chronically ill and tihe poor) \\ ill be given special favorable policies such as reasonable care for thieir d\Nelling houses and employment. 9. The displacement in the range of demolition and resettlement x ill be implemelited in groups to keep thle completeness of the original community.  10. People wkill be assisted wvith transportation in the move. 11. The resettlement, rehabilitationi and compensationi w-ill be monitored. The PAPs will participate in all the process of the resettlement. There w,vill be a special mechanism established to respond to the grievance of the PAPs. 12. To ensure the benefits of PAPs. do the overall manaaement wnell. try to reduce the compensation cost, and resettlement cost as far as possible throulgh the PAPs self-reliance. It is in accordance wvith the interests of all tihe people in Guangzhou City. 3.3 Explanation The ob jectives and principles of resettlement will be implemenited in Resettlement Policy and Resettlement Action Plan. The Resettlement PolicY will set up the objectives and principles of resettlement. The Resettlement Action Plan7 kvill be specific reflectionl of the ob jectives and principles of resettlement. 2. The Resettlement Policy will apply to all phiases of the IRR Project icludingL those sections inplemented by funding from the GuanigzIhou City. 3. For the private developers and other Units. their resettlement w\ork can he completed in tw\o waxvs. One is that the resettlement is implemented by themsel es but ulider the moniitorin- of GREEO and GCCTPO to ensure the compliance of our policies. The other is that thle resettlement is implemenited by the GREEO but finaniced by thlemselk es. . The Polici will apply to other noni-banik financed urbani projects graduallk on the hasis of this pro ject. S. Accordina to the objectives and principles of resetticillemit aho\ e. \ c shall adopt proper resettlement and compensationi plans for different categories of PAPs. So wke sliall classif% the project impacts in detail first.  4 CLASSIFICATION AND SUMMARY OF PROJECT INIPACTS 4.1 Classification of Project Impacts To build a broad Inner Ring Road in GuangzhoLu citt center. involuntarN resettlemenit is inevitable. There are several categories of PAPs: I Residential households- including lihouselholds with or \ ithout residential registration certificate of Guang-zhiou CitN. whio are residing along tihe alignment of Inner Ring road. 2 Enterprises, units and their staffs. 3 Rural production teams and farmers The loss of the PAPs can be classified into following categories: I . Housin,g and attachment. 2 Living communities and business environiment. 3. I nfrastrLicture. 4. Land. land facilities and attachment The categories and degrees of the loss of the PAPs differ. 4. 1 . Affected Residential Houselholds Thiere are t\\o types of impacts on residential 11ouselholds: I LI i\in n environment 2. Houlsinc! 41 II LiL inM E\ironmillent f3ccause of the chiange of residence. comniiunit\ resources such1 as 1ospital, scIool. recreation 'lciities \v ili alter after mo% ing Ollt fromn the original comIlmunLit\. 4. .1.2 Housilne There are the following wavs of acquiring- the right of use of tile housing b! resident: I H-lousing1 of their own a. Private housing the owner is domestic resident: b. Housingr of overseas Chinese the oxvnership is of overseas Chinese ol hIis housinIgE inheritors, or the house is purchased with overseas remittance: c. Reformied housing the uniits- hiousingi or apartment is purchiased at fa\ orable price b\L urban residents in accordance ithi related reform policies: Note: the price of reformed housing is about 800 Yuan"/m. while cuL-rent market price is 3000 Yuan/in2. d. Housing of househiold plots built on the land which is allotted to to%\nship (town) farmers to solve their residential problem (the owvnersilip of the land belongs to the original rural production teams).  2. Loss rent housing wvhere residents rent houses at lovs rent. a. These housing are government-owned housino. units' housing,. private housinlg or housing of overseas Chinese and all the housing are with legal propertN rights. b. The rent length of residence is long term or lifelong. c. The rent is as low as 2 Yuani/n i/month in 1997. 3. Market rent housing (high - price) wvhere residents rent houses at market rents. a. Thiese housing with legal property rights may be units' hoLsiIng. private housing. housing of overseas Chinlese and housinig of houselhold plots. or temporary housiing built by some units. b. Thie rent length of residence is short (several months to several years). c. The market rent in 1997 was about 15-70 Yuan/mn2 /monith 4.
