Project Introduction 1.1 A Survey of the Project and Its Significance 1.1.1 Scope of the Project Design (1) Baoji Station (including K1244+600) to Lanzhou station (including K1744+000); (2) Baoji Pivot Supplementary Project (3) Lanzhou Pivot Supplementary Project 1.1.2 Significance of project & geographic location of the line In Northwest China railways, which head eastward from Weiwu-South Station, through Lan- Wu section of Lan-Xin rail-line and Baoji-Lanzhou section of Longhai rail-line and through Gan-Wu and Bao-Zhong rail lines, meeting at Baoji and heading eastward from Xi'an, are called East-heading railways of Northwest China. Of the East-heading railways, Bao-Zhong railway and Baoji-Lanzhou section of Longhai railway are two single-track lines, which bear 72% of the outward-conveying goods and 90.2% passenger conveyance in northwest region. They used for passenger and goods exchange with the east, the central and the southwest regions of China, as a result, they have heavy transportation load. The railway-attracting area, with its vast land, is an important base for energy and material supplies and a strategic rear base of China. Since China's opening-up and reform, northwest region has experienced a rapid development in economy and a rapid increase of materials conveyed to other regions. During the "Eighth Five-Year Plan" period, Bao-Zhong rail-line was built, of which the total conveyance weight has amounted to 9.4 million ton, though it has been in use for only three years. To date, the east-heading railways are being fully used and their transportation capacity is badly in need of further increase by means of rail-line reconstruction. Northwest region's east-heading railways have a conveyance capacity as follows: Bao-Lan section of Longhai railway operates 15 pairs of passenger trains and 10.79 million ton goods conveyance, and Bao-Zhong railway operates 3 pairs of passenger trains and 14.2 million ton goods conveyance. The total conveyance capacity amounts to 18 pairs of passenger trains and 24.99 million tons for goods conveyance. According to the analysis on the actual growth of economy and rail-transportation in northwest region and State's capital investment in the northwest regions, especially in exploitation of petroleum, chemical fertilizer, agriculture and colored metal. It is predicted that in the year 2005 the total volume of outward-conveying goods will be 33  million tons and that 30 pairs of passenger trains are needed. A further railway transporting capacity of 8 million tons for goods conveyance and 12 pairs of passenger trains is to be required. In 2010 the total volume of outward-conveying goods will be 41.5 million tons and 36 pairs of passenger trains are needed, so there is a shortage transporting capacity of 16.5 million tons for goods conveyance and 18 pairs of passenger trains. Therefore, one of the two railways should be reconstructed into a two-lined railway with large transportation capacity to meet the needs. To build a two-lined railway with large capacity. two construction plans are proposed, either to add a second line to Bao-Lan railway or to Bao-Zhong railway. After a feasibility study, reasoning and comparison, the Railway Ministry find that adding a second line to Bao-Lan railway corresponds with the main direction of passenger and goods transportation. This will result in great flexibility and adaptability of the existing railway-net, which will benefit economic development of Gansu Province, especially Lanzhou. one vital city in northwest regions Therefore, the plan to add a second line to Baoji-Lanzhou Section of Longhai Railway is adopted. This railway section starts in the east from Baoji Station in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, which lies in the west end of Weihe Plain, then goes along Weihe River up to Longxi Station, then it heads up Xian River, a branch of Wei River, to Mahe town, passes through Dayingliang watershed and then via Dingxi Basin, along the upper reaches of Guanchuan River, goes through Quercha watershed in Lijiaping and runs down along Wanchuan River, enters the valley of Yellow River at Sangyuanzi and goes against Yellow River up to Lanzhou, Capital of Gansu Province. The topography of the places the rail-line passes by is low in east and high in west, which appears to be an unsymmetrical "M" shape. 1.2 Economic Outline within the second Bao-lan Railway Attracting Area 1.2.1 Large part of the second Bao-lan Railway lies in Gansu province. It's direct attracting area covers 70,000 square kilometers, and the current population is about 9 million. There are rich mine resources in northwest regions, over 100 kinds of minerals have been found out, most of which are coal, petroleum, iron ore, salt, mirabilite, asbestos, cement rock, fire- tightening materials, and rare metals such as copper, aluminum, nickel, zinc, manganese,  chromium, etc. Nearly 40 kinds of minerals that have been found out have the largest reserves all over China. In the direct economic attracting area of this section, these are relatively many kinds of mineral resources, among which colored metal-mine and non-metal minerals are relatively rich. The reserves of lead and zinc mineral in the zone of Tianshui City and Cheng county and Xihe County are over 115 million ton, currently are mined by Changba, Luoba and other county or village factories. The biggest factory is Changba Lead-zinc Mineral of Chengxian County, which mines 1,000 tons of mineral per day, and which can mine 3,500 ton daily at the completion of the "Ninth Five-year Plan" extending project. And it is planned to carry the third term of extending project after 2000, so Changba will mine 600 tons more ther.. After being washed and chosen, Luoba lead and zinc minerals are loaded mainly at Tianshui Station, and conveyed by means of railway to Northwest Smelter, while a small amount of fine minerals is conveyed to the Northeast and Hubei. Non-metal minerals include mainly limestone, dolomite, serpentine, silicon, etc. Limestone distribute mainly in Wushan county and Yuzhong county, and the reserves is 102.32 million ton, which has been exploited and availed; dolomites and silicones and other non-metal minerals are all being exploited on small scale. 1.2.2 Current status of industry and agriculture and future development Within the area of the railway section's direct economic attraction, the GNP of 1997 is 15.7 billion yuan (measured by contemporary price), the first industry occupies about 30%, the second industry about 40%, and the third industry about 30%. In northwest region the industry structure consists of coal, petroleum, electricity, chemistry, smelter, mechanic, electronics, building materials, light textile and food companies. Among these, heavy industry characterized by with exploitation of raw material and fuel and raw processing is dominant, but has comparatively low economic interest. Currently, Such industries as coal, petroleum, smelting, chemical fertilizer and building materials are more relative to the volume of goods conveyance of this railway section. . 3 -  Along this section the agriculture is characterized with crops planting, but it has small developing potentiality, limited by natural condition. Within direct economic attraction area of this section, the land is of poor quality and the natural condition is rather bad, the agricultural foundation is poor. Available fields for planting cover about an area of 22 million mu, and total crop production is about 2.3 million tons. mainly consisting of wheat, corn and peas; total production of oil vegetable is about 90,000 ions. Currently food crop of the area can almost meet the needs, some amount of oil crop wvill be transferred in or out as sample adjustment. The Gross Agricultural Production in the area is about 8 billion yuan 1.2.3 Communication and Transportation Currently within the area, transportation is conducted by means of railway or highway Conveyance in regions along the Bao-Lan line is mainly by means of railway, highway transportation facilities is comparatively poor. Highway from Baoji to Tiashui is a part of National Highway Route 310, Which is now being under an extension project according to standard of level 2 highway, Highway from Tianshui to Longxi is a part of National Highway Route 316. Much of the Road from Longxi to Dingxi is of poor quality, of which only 15 kilometers reaches the standard second class highway, and 20 kilometers reaches to that of the third class highway. Highway from Dingxi to Lanzhou carries large vehicle flowage. Along with gradual realization of roads extension project and building a second track to the Bao-Lan line, conveyance transportation condition will be greatly improved. 1.3 Explanation about the change of design Chinese government decided to implement strategy of western development. In order to coordinate the strategy, the MOR decided to change the design. The aim of the changing is to increase the speed. It can be divided to two section and take Tianshui city Gangu county Weishuiyu station as the center. The Weishuiyu---Lanzhou is called west section, the aim of the design changing is to cancel the little radius. The Weishuiyu-Baoji is called the east section, the aim of the design changing is to increase bridges and railway tunnels. It also increases 5 stations in the section. Please refer 1.9 for detail information. The amount of land acquisition increases 1790.38 mu, the amount of the land acquisition affected persons increases 1247; the amount of housing demolition increases 98404.1m2,the *1*  amount of the housing demolition affected household increases 634 after the changing of design. 1.4 budgetary estimate of capital investment of the second Bao-lan Rail-line The total of capital investment in the second Bao-Lan rail-line project is 11,260.853 million yuan with a technologic-economic index of 23.6433 million yuan per kilometer of main track of the total. Budgetary estimate of static capital investigation is 9,017.868 million yuan with a technical-economic index 18.9340 million yuan per kilometer of main track; capital put aside for project price increasing is1,110.444 million yuan; Loan interest during construction is 848.0935 million yuan; money for purchasing locomotives is 284.449 million yuan. 50% of the total investment is railway construction capital, and the other 50% include 98 million dollars from the World Bank and the load from the National Development Bank. 1.5 Project Designing and Feasibility Verification The First Surveying and Designing Institute of Railway Ministry undertake the designing work of the Second Bao-Lan Rail-line. (1) According to Railway Survey and Design Plan in 1993 of Railway Ministry, the First Surveying and Designing Institute of Railway Ministry started the preliminary design in March of 1994, and finished the project design in October, then reported to Railway Ministry in the same year. (2) According to Railway Survey and Design Plan in 1995 of Railway Ministry, the First Surveying and Designing Institute of Railway Ministry finished the report on feasibility research of the Second Bao-Lan Rail-line in June of 1995 (a version for review). (3) According to Document [1998] No.66 Notif/cation on Adjustment of Railway Survey and Design Plan of 1998, the First Surveying and Designing Institute of Railway Ministry finished revised report on feasibility research of Bao-Lan second rail-line in December of 1998 (revised version after the review) (4) On December 28h, 1998, the Planning Department of the Railway Ministry reported in Document [1998] No.372 "Correspondence on reporting and sending item proposal of adding a second track to railway from Baoji to Lanzhou section of Long-Hai Railway" to the National Development Planning Comnmittee. China International Consulting Company undertook an evaluation of the item proposal. (5) Revision of preliminary design was finished in May of 1999 and sent to the Railway * 5 .  Ministry. Technical design of the project was accomplished in October of 1999 and hand in part of the working drawings. At the end of 1999 will be preparation before construction done, and the project will be began in the winter of 2000; It is expected to finish the project in four years, and the project be carried out in 2004 1.6 Proprietorship and Organization of the Project The Second Bao-Lan Rail-line Project is one of the key state construction projects; the proprietor of the project is the Railway Ministry. Zhenzhou Railway Railway Bureau and Lanzhou Railway Bureau are the agents of the proprietor that will responsibility of administrating the rail-line. The section from Baoji to Shetang is under the administration of Xi'an Branch of Zhenzhou Railway Bureau; section from Tianshui to Lanzhou is under the Administration of Lanzhou Branch of Lanzhou Railway. The dividing point of the two bureau's administrations is between Shetang and Tianshui, and the mileage of the dividing point is Zhenzhou Bureau K1392+530=Lanzhou Bureau K1398+137.6. The land administration Bureaus of Shaanxi Province and Gansu Province had contracted with the Railway Ministry to manage the implementation of land acquisition, housing demolition and reallocation as well as population settlement. 1.7 Measures to be taken to reduce land acquisition and housing demolition According to relevant directions of World Bank and the State policies practiced in China, and in considering people affected by the project, large amount of land acquisition, housing demolition and reallocation and population settlement should be reduced to possible extent by means of adjusting design if it is possible. In case population reallocation and resettlement is inevitable, best efforts mast be made to compensate property of the affected people and enterprises to be resettled, to help out their removal, and to ensure that the living standard of the affected remains no lower than that they have prior to their removal. In order to reduce population tc be resettled, the project designers made careful choice of the rail-line route in project feasibility research. In the project design, they tried their best to avoid or reduce the amount of land to be acquired and houses to be demolished and reallocated in addition to considering such factors as topography, geology and capital investment, etc. The following section presents more information in this respect. (1) All filling earth of railway roadbeds and station sites is to be taken from far-away earth- mounds, river-bends or uncultivated land, so that less farmland and rich land will be used. The  earth abandoned from the bridge and culverts constructions is used for repairing river dams so that less land will be used. (2) The only additional engineering is the construction of the supplementary facilities of water supply, drainpipes and other subsidiary structures at Baoji pivot and Lanzhou pivot caused by the Second Bao-Lan Rail-line Project (3) Train operation: According to the principle of one-time planning, construction by stages and formation of capacity, the whole section is divided into two construction stages. Because of relatively scattered distribution of the areas within the rail-line controlling capacity throughout the whole section, construction by stages will increase engineering of housing demolition, constructing housing for transition and temporary utility and housing abundant. In order to solve these problems, especially large quantity of housing demolition. The ISt Surveying and Designing Institute of Railway Ministry made a research on construction plan at different stages according to section division. The designers proposed to make Tianshui the dividing point and to implement the construction at two stages. They suggest to construct Tianshui-Lanzhou double lines and Baoji-Tianshui double lines by stages in a self-confined manner, so as to reduce housing demolition and relocation, and to reduce constructing housing for transition and temporary utility as well as engineering in housing abundant. (4) Line route: In line route design, the now-existing building and equipment are used as much as possible, and in principle, now-existing lines are not to be re-constructed. At the same time, full consideration is given to issues related to land acquisition and housing demolition & relocation in designing new lines. Examples as follows: A: Comparison and choice between plans of drawing second lining into east part of Luomen Station covering K1459+500-K1497+443 The main engineering of this section is Luomen Nan River bridge. In accordance with the location of Luomen Station, the CIK plan adopts plane curve radius with R-400 two orbits, the track goes through south side of provincial Light industry school, and part of the school will be removed. Investment of this project is 15.09 million yuan. The advantage of this plan is to increase plane-curve radius is conduce to speeding up. The weak point is too big the impact on the school. 7 -  The CYK plan is to move station-heart westward and keep now-existing line on Luomen Nan river bridge as out-pulling line, then newly build Luomen Nan river two-track big bridge. Investment of this project is 17.25 million yuan. The advantages of this plan are a shorter line. better line-mode, and avoiding passing through the school. The weak point is a comparatively larger investment. Through comparison, CYK plan is adopted. C: Comparison on plans on the second line's passing through Mafengzui Tunnel (K1521+500--- K1526+700): In this section there is now-existing line 5.2 km, 4 tunnels with a total length 1270.4m. According to project situation of passing through Mafengzui tunnel and railway situation of its two end, three plans: CK, CIK, CIIK are proposed to be compared. CIIK Plan: The second line to be added will lie on the left of now-existing line and goes along it to K1522+300, and enter the cave at 130m on the left of Tunnel 1 on the now-existing line, and al.17km-long tunnel will be built through Mafengzui. The length of the second line is 4.142km, that is, 1.058 km shorter than the now-existing line and the correspondent investment will be 69.79 million yuan. 3 The advantage of this plan is the shortest line length by passing through Mafengzui tunnel, the expenditure on the main engineering will be comparatively less. 3 The weak points are (1) the longest line, large railway base project, large volume of fence work, and big interference on engineering in the section parallel to the now-existing line (2) entrance to Mafengzui Tunnel will have to pass through 1 50m apple-orchard. CIK Plan: The entrance to Mafengzui tunnel is different from that of CIIK plan, that is, it avoids fruit-tree reallocation. The direction of pulling-out line is concordant with CIIK Plan. The Mafengzui tunnel is 1.3 km long, the second line is 3.57km long, that is, 1.63 km shorter than now-existing line, and the project investment is 71.15 million yuan according to this plan. * The advantages is hat the plane-line mode is better than CIIK, for it need 1 curve less than CIIK, the working condition of entrance to Mafengzui tunnel is nice, and it will not involve fruit-trees removal. * Weak points are (1) Exit of Mafengzui tunnel is connected with with bridge-tunnle, so it is difficult to work on the project and to rid waste-grounds;rock round the cave opening is broken and collapses seriously. * 8 -  (2) large interference on working if section parallel to now-existing line. CK Plan: Entrance location of passing Mafengzui tunnel is the same as CIK, the exit is face- to -face with Yuanyang town station and 200 m away from the newly-built road bridge. Mafengzui tunnel is 1.67 km long; while that of the second line is 3.074 km long, 2.126 km shorter than now-existing line. The investment is 69.29 million yuan according to this plan. * The advantages are a short line, a nice line-model; small removal, little farmland use, no fruit-tree removal,small project investment, wide topogrphyt at the entrance and exit of the tunnel, nice working condition, available place for ridding waste-grounds. * The weak points are a comparatively poor geology at the exit of Mafengzui tunnel and it is close to disorderly objects. Based on all the comparisons, the CK plan is adopted. Table 1-5 is a comparison of the economic statistices of these three plan: Table 1-1 Comparison of Ecomonics of the Construction Plans on Mafengzui Tunnel (K1521+500-kl526+700) Ckplan Cikplan C II Kplan Fees Fees fees Item Unit Amount (10000 Amount (10000 amount (10000 Yuan) Yuan) yuan) Length Of The Rail-Line Km 3.07 3.57 4.142 Cross-Sectional Earth Work 104m' 0.19 2.8 2.62 38.67 6.02 88.86 Cross-Sectional Stone Work 104m' 10.28 345.1 16.33 548.20 15.21 510.6 Big-Size Bridge M /One 308/1 672.91 279.05/1 609.66 279.0511 609.66 Culverts M /One 11.2 27.27 47/6 114.45 62/8 150.98 Tunnels M /One 1670/1 4343.67 1580/3 4109.58 1450/3 3771.45 Track Engineering Km 3.07 466.03 3.57 541.93 4.142 628.76 Contact Network Engineering Km 38.07 44.27 51.36 Power Engineering Km 76.75 89.25 103.55 Communication Engineering Km 43.90 51.05 59.23 Land Utility Mu 38.9 58.35 63.3 94.95 104.1 156.15 10000 Engineering Investment Yuan 6929.19 7114.89 6978.97 (4) Railway stations: At Lanzhou station, a downward, out-circling main line will be built; two plans on evacuation . 9 .  of traffic at the bottlenecks are proposed to this project. One is to build a downward, out- circling main line; the other is to build a downward, elevated main line. Plan I: The second line is pulled out at the 18th railroad switch, beyond the two bottlenecks at the east and west ends of Lanzhou Station, from K1743+800. It goes along the southern side of the now-existing rail-line, then travels through residential buildings and goes round the mechanical work section, out-circles the Number 5 platform. Then it connects with west bottleneck and ends at K1747+700. * The advantages of the plan are as follows (1) loosen crossing interference resulting from arrivals of down travelling Passenger-goods trains and locomotives' entering or out-going; increase flexibility of working. (2) Improve technical standard of the station; increase speed of goods-trains' Passing through the station. 0 The weak points are as follows (I) The line goes through residential buildings and result in loud noise that is above the standard set in the National Environmental Index. (2) Four enterprises and two residential areas will be enclosed within the line; goes on the ground close to the highway; there is no space for putting up a cloverleaf, and therefore it is unsafe to set up a plane crossing road. . (3) Many enterprises and houses will be removed, and it is difficult to arrange the resettlement. Plan II: second track is pulled out at line 18 from k1744+900, and heads westward paralleling to main down-travelling track with a distance of 8 m, and ends at Kl 747+700. * The advantages of Plan II are as follows. (1) to loosen crossing interference resulting from down-travelling goods-trains' passing-by and locomotives' entering and out-going. (2) To improve technical standard of main track in the station; increase speed of cargo trains passing through the station. * The weak points are as follows. (1) The distance between the second line and the now-existing line is small and the speed of downward-travelling passenger and cargo trains will be slowed down during the construction of the fences, the railway roadbed and the landing bridge. e 10*  Through comparison, Plan II is adopted. 1.8 Preparation for Land Acquisition Housing Demolition & Population Resettlement (1) Specification of scope of land acquisition and housing demolition The institute in charge of the project design will survey the whole line during the stage of technical design. measure and mark land to be collected and houses to be pulled down on spot, then draw a cross section diagram of the line route and a house distribution map. The scope of housing demolition uses the maximum controlling figure during technical design stage, and the figure Xwill be gradually be made more accurate and it will decrease according to the demands of construction design. (2) Socioeconomic survey on regions along the line In order to analyses impact on the regions alone the second Bao-Lan rail-line and to make a feasible working plan, the Railway Ministry deputed the lIt Surveying and Designing Institute to conduct a study on socioeconomic conditions of the regions along the whole line. With close cooperation of the land administration departments of Gansu and Shaanxi provincial govemrnents, an investigation was conducted in 1998 on the socioeconomic conditions of the cities and counties affected by the project. The 1St Surveying and Designing Institute made another detail investigation about social economy on Baoji-Weishuiyu in 2000 year for the changing of the design. The main contents of the investigation are fannland resources, industry structure, economy level, people's income and expenditure status, population, living styles, cultural customs, traffic conditions, resources status and development prospect, etc. In this study, a combination of various methods was adopted, such as collecting all the available statistic data, interviewing people on spot, and surveying on samples.. Therefore, large amount of informnation was obtained, which forms a solid foundation for making RAP. (3) Object Index Investigation Along with gradual accomplishment of the technical design, The I" Surveying and Designing Institute of Railway Ministry had made a detailed study on all sub-items of the project with the help of all local governments concemed in Gansu and Shaanxi provinces. This study concerns with land to be acquired, houses to be demolished and reallocated, and the number of people to be affected, the labor force to be resettled, and the infrastructures and above-ground attachments to be affected etc. This investigation will be conducted by means of investigating people family by family, village by village, and building by building so as to get the details of the impact of * 11 -  the project in respect of people's loss in objects (4) Consultation between the Railway Ministry and the two provincial governments Upon the completion of the technical design of the project, the Railway Ministry had reached an agreement with the local governments on issues concerning standards of compensation for land acquisition, housing demolition, and population resettlement. They had set up an organization institutional network for the land acquisition and the housing demolition. The MOR reached an agreement with the Gansu province in May 2000 year and with Shaanxi province in July 2000 year. The Gansu province and Shaanxi province had set up leading group about the building of the Bao-lan the second railway to settle the matters about land acquisition and housing demolition. (5) Preparatory work on the RAP The preparatory work has been doing by the Project Administration departments of Lanzhou railway branch Bureau and Xi'an railway branch Bureau, the 1' Survey and Design Institute of MOR together with the land administration departments under the governments of Gansu province and Shaanxi Province. The project owner has also invited the resettlement experts from the Institute of Foreign Capital Introduction and Utilization of Southwest Jiaotong University as the project consultants. All parties involved in the making the RAP for the Second Baoji-Lanzhou Rail-line Project should work on the basis of the preliminary work that will be accomplished sooner or later. The work includes setting up organizational institutions, specifying the scope of project impact, investigating on the socioeconomic conditions of the regions to be affected, verifying loss in objects to be caused by the land acquisition and housing demolition, studying the relevant policies, laws and regulations, negotiating and making the resettlement plans, and specifying compensation standards for resettlement. It is necessary to emphasize that the current report is written on the basis of the technological design. The statistics regarding the loss in objects also come from the technological design data provided by the I"t Survey and Design institute. 1.9 description and evaluation for the 5 new opened station The following are the description and evaluation for each one of the 5 stations along the Baoji-Weishuiyu section. The descriptions are detailed for this issue was not mentioned in the 5 before versions of the report. . * 12 -  1.9.1 Chaoyu Station. Chaoyu station is located in Chaoyu village of Chaovu townnship of Baoji City, Sa'anxi Province. The village is about 30 km away from downtown Baoji City and it is within the scope of the suburbs of Baoji according to the city planning. Chaoyu township consists of 8 villages with a population of 5300. of whom 2810 are laborers. T1he total cultivated land area is 12352 mu. The total income of the township in 1999 was 5.67 million yuan, of whih 2.7033 million yuan was from agriculture sector, 0.6302 million yuan was from industry, and 2.3365 million yuan was from the third industry. In terms of ratios. incomes from the three sectors accounted 47.7%, 11% and 43.3% respectively. The annual average pure income per capita in 1999 was 880 yuan. There are 8 villagers groups, with a total population of 1444 from 340 households, of whom 780 are laborers. The total cultivated land area of the village is 2599.2 mu, 1.8 mu per capita and the annual average pure income of the farmers in 1999 was 1006 yuan. 144 mu cultivated land will be acquired from Chaoyu village, of which 74 is water irrigated and 70 mu is dry land. 19920 m2 residential housing and attachments will be demolished, of which 1920 m2 is brick-concrete structure building with multiple floors, 8600 rn2 is brick-tile structure housing and 9400 m2 is simple structure attachments. In addition, 4010 non-economic trees will be cut down. The land acquisition will affect 44 people and the housing demolition will affect 55 households. Post the land acquisition for the new station, farmers in Chaoyu village will still possess sufficient cultivated land, 1.7 mu per capita. Since the land resource is rich there, the village decides to resettle the affected people by means of reallocating land within the village. In the mean time, the township will build a large market near the new station, where many storefronts will be built for rent, and the local farmers with a certain amnount of capital can rent the storefronts to do their own business. Because of the large amount housing demolition, the township government and the village council have decided to use 20 mu land as house sites and a new villager residence zone will be unitarily planned and constructed. This provides the affected households a good opportunity of renewing houses and to improve their living conditions. Construction of the new Chaoyu station is a good opportunity for the development of Chaoyu *13  township for several reasons. First, there used to be no railway station at Chaoyu township but now not only the railway station of Baoji-Lanzhou railway is built here but also, the secoad track line of Baoji-Chendu railway will lead to Chaoyu, and thus Chaoyu will be at tLe intersection joint of the two important railways. The state highway route 310 will be completed and put in use soon and the township government will be moved to a place close to the new railway station. The zone close to the railway station will become the political, economic aind cultural center, as well as the trade and commercial center of the Chaoyu township. This vill have an immeasurable impact on the overall development of the township. Second, it will be more convenient to export the local products such as lumbers, pepper, fruits and vegetables an,d the farrners' expense in this respect will be reduced. In the process of building station, the construction unit will use a large amount of locally produced materials like high-quality stone sheets and sand and the localities will get approximately 2 million yuan income from it, as is expected. The consumption of the station construction workers will promote the local third industry and the local laborers can get some income from their temporary jobs in the construction project. All this will greatly improve the villagers' living. The investigation panel visited Li fengxiang, the vice head of the township, Zhao Ami, secretary of the village Party branch and some of the affected people. 1.9.2 Majiawan Station. Majiawan Station is located at Majiawan village of Hudian township Baoji County. Hudian Township consists of 10 villages. The township has a population of 6324 from 1411 households, of whom 2878 are laborers. The total amount of cultivated land is 14464 mu, 2.28 mu per capita. Of the cultivated land, 1415 mu is water irrigated, and the rest is dry land or slopes, the ratios of the two categories of land are 10% and 90% respectively. The annual pure income of the township in 1999 was 829 yuan per capita, of which more than 50% came from agriculture and the rest was from wages of the villagers who work elsewhere and incomes from the second and the third industries. Majiawan village has 7 villagers groups. There are 1137 people from 264 households, 385 are laborers. The total amount of cultivated land in this village is 2524 mu, 2.22 mu per capita. Of the cultivated land, 210 mu is water irrigated and the rest is dry land. The ratios of the two categories of land are 9% and 91% respectively. The annul average pure income of the villagers in 1999 was 1100 yuan per capita, of which more than 50% was from agriculture. The young and middle-aged laborers of Majiawan village work elsewhere all the year round, of the 385 laborers, more than 200 work on i 14  long term jobs in other places, accounting more than 55% of the laborers. Income from their jobs is a very great component of the total family income. To build the station, 29 mu dry land will be acquired from Majiawan village and 36 mu land will be taken back from within the railway sector. 610 m2 housing will be demolished. The land acquisition will affect 6 people and the housing demolition will affect 5 households. After the land acquisition for the railway station project, people in Majiawan village will possess 2.19 mu land per capita. Since the village's land resource is rich and the amount of land acquisition is not big, the affected people can be well resettled by means of land reallocation within the village. The measures of resettling the people affected by housing demolition are to disburse land as house sites, to pay compensations to the individuals who will build new houses by themselves. Construction of the new railway station will bring some new opportunities to Majiawan village for its further development. First the local traffic conditions will be better and it will be more convenient for people's communication and goods exchange. Second, a new commercial and trade center will be established near the railway station, which will promote the local second and the third industries. Third, the local construction material and labor force provided to the station construction project will bring more incomes to the localities. Fourthly, consumption of the construction workers will promote the development of the local second and third industries and renewal of the local people's ideas. The investigation panel interviewed Wang Jiali, head of Fudian township, Wang Dechong, Li Zhanghua, head of the first village group and Yang Falin, head of the second villager group and some of the affected people. 1.9.3 Xiatuoshi Station. Xiatuoshi Station is located at Xiatuoshi village of Baoji County, about 500 meters away from the old railway station. There are 6524 people from 1664 households in Tuoshi Township, of whom 2892 are laborers. The total amount of cultivated land is 13907 mu, 2.5 mu per capita. The total annual grain output was 1344 tons, 223 kg per capita. The total income of the township was 9.3408 yuan, of which 6.48 yuan was from agriculture, 1.257 million yuan was from industry, and 1.6038 million yuan was from the third industry. In 1999, the average pure income of the villagers was 817 yuan per capita. The population of Tuoshi village is 1610 from 380 households, of whom 871 are laborers. The total cultivated land * 15-  area is 2456 mu, 1.5 mu per capita. In 1999, the total income of the village was 2.753 million yuan, of which 1.144 million yuan is from agriculture, 609400 yuan was from industry, and 999600 yuan was from the third industry. The total grain output was 380 tons, 236 kg per capita. The average pure income of the villagers in 1999 was 883 yuan per capita. The data cited above reveal that both Tuoshi Township and Tuoshi village are traditional rural village(s) engaging in agriculture production and the incomes from agriculture sector accounts about half of the total income. In order to construct the new Tuoshi station, it is necessary to acquire 50 mu dry land and 21 mu orchard land from the village. 620 m2 simple structure housing built for people in guard of the orchards will be demolished, 2230 fruit trees will be cut down and a water well will be filled up, and 26 people will be affected. Since the housing to be demolished is simple structures for people in guard of the orchards, no people need to be resettled for their residences. After the land acquisition for the station, the villagers will still have 1.48 mu land per capita, the acquisition has little impact on the villagers and surplus laborers can be well resettled by means of land reallocation. The village council planned to disburse part of the land compensations to the villagers and use part of the fund on developing 100 new land. Still some of the fund will be invested in a sandstone processing mill and a food-processing factory so as to increase economic incomes of the village collectives and to change the industry structure. Construction of the new Tuoshi station is a new opportunity of development for both Tuoshi Township and Tuoshi village. Firstly, the township will become larger in size, with its center shifting to the west of the railway station, which will be a new influential political and culture center. Secondly, the increase of the amount of passenger and goods transportation will obviously stimulate the flowing of export of the local farm products and the export of goods from other regions. Thirdly, the increase of population in mobility will promote the development of the local second and the third industries so that the traditional industrial structure with agriculture as the core will be changed. Fourthly, the township and the village can make an income of 3 million yuan at least by means of providing the construction units sand, stone and laborers, and thus the local people's income will be increased and their and living conditions will be improved. The investigation panel interviewed Gezhijun, head of the Tuoshi Township, Qin Heming, * 16  secretary of the towmship Party committee, Cheng Zhibin, head of Tuoshi village and some of the affected people. 1.9.4 Xiajianhe Station. Xiajianhe station is located in Xiajianhe village of Fegeling Township, Baoji County. It is only 300 m from the old Xiajianhe station. Fenggeling township is at the far west end of Sa'anxi Province, and it is a poor mountainous township. There are altogether 12 villages in this township, with a population of 11546 from 2413 households, of whom 4018 are laborers. The total amount of cultivated land is 24060 mu, 2.08 mu per capita. In 1999, the average pure income for the local people was 811 yuan per capita. Fenggeling is an agriculture township with almost no industry enterprises. There are 2080 people in from 450 households in Xijianhe village, of whom 1347 are laborers. The total amount of cultivated land is 2871 mu, 1.38 mu per capita, of which 907 mu is water irrigated land and the rest is dry land. In 1999, the average pure income of the villagers was 1060 yuan per capita, of which more than 60% came from agriculture. Working elsewhere is the main source of the villagers' income and there is almost no the second and the third industries in this village. In order to build Xiajianhe station, it is necessary to acquire 117 mu land from the village, of which 86 mu is water irrigated land, 31 mu is dry land. 3021 trees will be cut down and 5185 m2 residential housing of the local people will be demolished. Of the housing to be demolished, 1875 m.2 is of brick-tile structure, 3310 m2 is of brick-wood structure. The land acquisition will affect 56 people and 22 households will be affected by the housing demolition. The housing owned by an army unit is now in spare and therefore no one will be affected by its demolition. After the land acquisition for the new railway station, the villagers will still possess 1.32 mu land per capita and the affected people's production and living can be resettled by means of reallocating land within the village. The village council plans to use the compensation fund in three ways, They will disburse part of it (compensations to the attachments and standing crops) to the affected individuals. They will spend most of it on building a market near the new railway station. And they will use part of it on constructing water irrigation facilities so as to change the dry land into water irrigated land and to increase the production output of the land. The demolished housing will be restored in a way of unitary planning and unitary construction by the village collectives on a concentrated residence zone. The construction of the new Xiajianhe station will bring about various positive impacts on the village. First of all, construction of the railway bridge and the new station will greatly improve * 17  the living conditions of the local people by revolving the problem that the road conditions are bad and the villager has to walk and carry their goods across the riversides, which has troubled the villagers for a long time. Secondly, building of the roads in assesses to the construction materials for the new railway station will improve the backward country road conditions. Thirdly the development of restaurants and labor force export will promote the development of local economy. The disadvantage of building Xiajianhe station is that the total amount of the land acquisition is large and most of the land is water irrigated. This will have negative impact on the local agriculture production and on the average income of the local people. Loss caused by the negative impact can be made up by means of constructing water irrigation facilities, improving the land quality or via developing the second and the third industries. The investigation panel interviewed Wang Liner, head of the Fenggelin Township, Wang Shubao, head of Xiajianhe village, Fan Janshe, head of the 5th villagers group, and some of the affected people. 1.9.5 New Yuanlong Station. The new Yuanlong station is located on the edge between Sa'anxi Province and Ganshu Province and it is at the intersection of Duping village and Shiguchuan village of Yuanlong commune in the Beidao District of Tianshui City. There are 7 villages in Yuan long commune and the total population is 19861 from 4298 households, of who 8296 are laborers. The total cultivated land of the commune is 25055 mu, 1.26 mu per capita. In 1999, the average income of the commune was 669 yuan since the local people depend all on agriculture to make their incomes. The mountainous commune is still backward. In duping village there are 989 people from 215 households and 500 of the people are laborers. The total cultivated land there is 1579 mu, 1.6 mu per capita. In 1999, the average pure income of the villagers was 600 yuan per capita. In Shiguchuan village, there are 868 people from 194 households, of whom 247 are laborers. The total amount of cultivated land is 1895 mu, 2.18 mu per capita. In 1999, the average pure income of the people in this village was 620 yuan per capita. Both villages are somewhat backward and the local people are all dependent on incomes from agriculture for their living. The new Yuanlong station is only I km away from the old one. In order to build the station, it is necessary to acquire 56 mu water irrigated land from Duping village and 22 mu water irrigated land from Shiguchuan village. Construction of the new railway station does not involve housing * 18-  demolition, whose impact on the localities is the smallest as compared with others of the 5 stations to be built. The land acquisition will affect 19 people in Duping village and 4 people in Shiguchuan village. Post the land acquisition. people in Duping village will possess 1.56 mu cultivated land per capita and people in Shiguchuan village will still have 2.16 mu cultivated land per capita. Since the amount of land acquired by the railway sector is small and the two villages both have rich land resources, the surplus laborers can all be well resettled by means of reallocating land within the village. Most of the fund in compensation to the land will be spent mainly on developing production, building water irrigation facilities, improving quality of some poor land to increase the land's unit output and in turn the local people's production and living conditions will be improved. Construction of the new Yuanlong station will bring some new opportunities to the local people. For instance, the cost of exporting the local specialty products will decrease because of the convenient traffic conditions. The local people will have more opportunities to develop the second and the third industries, more incomes will be made from providing the station project with construction materials and laborers. The local people's conservative ideas might be changed via their interaction with the station construction personnel. All this will be helpful for the local people to change the conditions of the backward mountainous area. The investigation panel interviewed the accociate head of the Yuanlong Township, the heads of Duping village and Shiguchuan village, as well as some affected people. 19  2. Project Impacts In order to construct the second rail-line between Baoji and Lanzhou, it is enviable to displace some people to live elsewvhere, although many measures have been taken to reduce the amount of land acquisition and housing demolition to minimum by making use of the existing rail-line and facilities. "Affected persons" means persons who, on account of any change in land or water use due to works carried out or to be carried out under the project, would incur the involuntary loss, temporarily or permanently. of shelter, productive asset or access to productive assets, or of income or means of livelihood and, as a consequence, have their living standard or production levels adversely affected. 2.1 Land Acquisition The total amount of land acquired for the construction project of Baoji-Lanzhou Lline isl6369.43 mu, of which 12143.65mu is used for rail track, 3866.78 mu for stations and yards, 107 mu for Lanzhou Pivot, 252 mu for Baoji Pivot. All the land acquired can be divided into three kinds, such as: the I" kind is newly collective land acquired; the 2nd is the newly state land transferred; the 3rd is the land regained from the railway.
