Summary of the Resettlement Action Plan

The total length of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou rapid railway trunk line is 287.087km, with a total length of bridges as 137.673km. There are two newly built stations and two rebuilt ones. The line passes through 100 villages in 22 towns of 9 counties/districts (among which, Shangyi County is only passed through by tunnels, no impacts of land requisition) in Zhangjiakou, Wulanchabu and Hohhot cities.

Huzhang Railway will install 4 stations (not including Zhangjiakou South Station), including Huai’an, Wulanchabu, Zhuozi East and Hohhot East Station among which Huai’an and Wulanchabu stations are newly built ones while the rest are rebuilt. The land acquisition of the project has small impact on places along the line for the following reasons: (1) The railway is a linear project, the characteristics of which determine the small impact on places along the line; (2) The proportion of bridges and tunnels takes up 63.8% of the total length, thus, the amount of land acquisition is largely reduced; (3) The line should proceed along mountain areas as possible, so the acquisition of cultivated land drastically decreases; (4) The basic farmlands passing through by the line are mainly distributed in Wan’an County and Huai’an County located in the both sides of Dayang River, as well as Wulanchabu City and Hohhot City. In order to reduce the occupation of basic farmlands, Huzhang Railway shall share common corridors with existing transport channels as much as possible. (5) The site of railway station must keep away from towns and concentrated residential areas. The line should circumvent if it comes to urban residential communities. The land occupied by the project shall be wastelands and reduce the requisition on farmlands and forest lands.

The total number of affected households by the project is 1731 households, 5748 persons, among which 955 households’ (3090 persons) lands are affected , 1078 households’ houses (3631 persons) are demolished, and 302 households (973 persons) are impacted by demolition and land requisition. In terms of composition percentage of affected population, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is the province who is mostly impacted by the project. The number of households impacted by land requisition is 58% of the total, and the number of resettled households occupying 86% of the total.

955 households or 3090 persons are impacted by permanent land requisition along the line. The total acquired land is 12449.6 mu (not including lands used by existing railway lines), among which, 6145.7 mu farmlands (all drylands), occupying 49.36% of the total acquired lands; 804 mu forest lands, 6.46% of the total; 823.6 mu building base, 6.62% of the total; 224 mu construction land use, 1.8% of the total; 234 mu other types of lands, 1.88% of the total; 4218.3 mu wastelands, 33.88% of the total.

There are 1035 rural households (3498 persons) affected by demolition along the line; The total demolished area is 281004 m2 , including 239301 m2 brick concrete, 10344 m2 earth wood, and 17778 m2 other types of houses. There are 43 urban households (133 persons) affected by the demolition, the total demolished area being 8426 m2. It is found out from the survey that the 43 urban households are all residents changing from rural residenceship into urban residenceship, and their housing conditions and located areas being totally similar with surrounding rural houses. Therefore, their houses are treated samely with rural houses in terms of surveys, compensation standards and resettlement plans.

The project also has impacts on 34 enterprises or public institutions. The total area of houses to be demolished is 124052m2, including 5883m2 factory buildings, 28358.76m2 one-store houses, 5498m2 storied buildings, and 4312 m2 makeshifts, occupying 191.51 m lands, 6729m fences, 10682 m2 Indurative ground and 11 wells. There are 1763 staff (indentured worker) and 10 temporary workers are affected by the project. Apart from 326 staff in 4 enterprises whose fences are demolished only, the number of affected staff is 1477. 7 enterprises are partially demolished, among which 4 of them could run normally as before because only their fences are demolished. Among the 34 enterprises, 16 of them prefer to monetary compensation, while the rest 18 prefer to reconstruction.

The Foreign Capital Center of the Ministry of Railways has entrusted Wisdom Management Consulting Co. ,Ltd to formulate the “Resettlement Action Plan”. The plan received on-site data support from China Railway Engineering Consulting Group Co., Ltd. The RAP covers socio-economic survey, resettlement impact census and resettlement action plan, according to the final version of feasibility study report in October 2011. If big differences between the preliminary design plan and feasiblity study result in huge changes on resettlement impacts, the RAP will be updated and report to the World Bank for approval. The survey covers 22 towns and 100 affected villages, have a sample of 426 households (1303 persons), among them, 336 sample households affected by land requisition, 35.18% of the total number of households affected by land requisition (955 households); 254 demolition sample households, 23.56% of the total demolished households (1078 households). There are 164 households who are impacted by land requisition and demolition, and 172 households are only affected by land requisition. The survey group also learned about opinions and suggestions on the project from the 426 sample households (mainly targeting the head of the household) by means of questionnaires.

Compilation of the Resettlement Action Plan of this project and its implementation will be carried out in strict accordance with policy documents made by the Chinese government and the World Bank Operation policy OP4.12. The implementation of resident resettlement shall strictly adhere to resettlement compensation standards determined by this action plan and any change in the course of implementation should win the agreement of the World Bank. China has worked out complete legal framework and policy system concerning land acquisition, house demolition, resident resettlement and compensation etc. Hebei Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, in accordance with the requirements of national laws and policies, have constituted local laws and policies, including “Notice of Hebei Provincial People’s Government on Regional Comprehensive Price of Land Requisition (Jizheng No.〔2008〕132)”, “On Transferring the Notice of ‘Opinions of Five Departments including Provincial Department of Labor and Social Security on Establishing Social Endowment Insurance’ by Hebei Provincial People’s Government, February 17, 2005”, “Notice of the General Office of People’s Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Implementing a Unified Annual Production Value and Regional Comprehensive Price of Land Requisition” (Neizhengbanfa No.〔2009〕129), and “On Transferring the Notice of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security on Guiding Opinions on Job Training and Social Security of Affected Peasants by the General Office of the State Council by the the General Office of the People’s Government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region”.

The total budget for compensations on land requisition and resettlement is 854 million Yuan, including 660 million Yuan of resettlement compensation fees, 77% of the total investment; 19million Yuan of management fees, 2.3% of the total; 22.5 million Yuan of social safeguard fees, 2.6% of the total; 83 million Yuan of land occupation tax and land development fees, 9.7 % of the total; 2.50 million Yuan of RAP formulation and monitoring & evaluation fees, 0.29% of the total; 66 million Yuan of unforeseeable fees, 7.73% of the total.

With the village as the basic unit, each person shall have o.3 mu farmland, and relevant restoration measures are formulated accordingly. If per capita farmland is less than 0.3 m, multiple measures like monetary compensation, social safeguard measures and training as well as employment recommendation shall be implemented to ensure its income for living. If per capita farmland is more than 0.3 mu (97 villages in total in the project), land adjustment shall be made for resettlement. For the 97 villages choosing land reversion, after coordination through organizing villagers’assembly, per capita farmland in 2 villages is 0.5 mu, and the number keeps 1-1.5 mu in other 95 villages (per capita farmlands in villages whose acquired lands are less than 10% before and after the project). The farmland ownership can fully meet the demands of agricultural production after the project.

The two affected provinces adheres to the market-oriented employment mechanism. Through means of professional technical training, job recommendation, development of comprehensive projects to encourage peasants and herdsmen being employed, the two provinces have provided technical support and employment opportunities for peasants whose lands are lessened or lost totally.

There are 1035 rural households (3498 persons) affected by demolition along the line. There are 43 urban households (133 persons) affected by the demolition, who are all residents changing from rural residenceship into urban residenceship, and their housing conditions and located areas being totally similar with surrounding rural houses. Therefore, their houses are treated samely with rural houses. The demolished households in Nandian Village of Hohhot City and Chahaer Economic and Technical Development Zone of Wulanchabu City prefer to local resettlement, with a compensation of new houses. Other districts prefer to unconcentrated self-building resettlement.

Among the 34 enterprises affected by demolition, 18 prefers to reconstruction. Following the willingness of enterprises, governments at the municipal, county, township and village levels will give a support on site selection, reconstruction and production restoration. Enterprises can, in accordance with the local planning and self willingness, choose to have a new site in the local enterprise zone or in the collective lands of the original township or village. Private enterprises normally rent village’s collective lands, after obtaining compensation fees; they could still rent rural collective lands in the original village or in other areas. If the enterprises will not rebuild or open again, resettlement departments and enterprises shall inform the staff 6 months before, so that the staff could find another job. In addition, resettlement departments and enterprises shall provide free training and help introduce new jobs for the staff. All in-kind loss of enterprises, losses of enterprises and staff due to operation stop shall be compensated after market evaluation.

The Ministry of Railways, the Huzhang Railway Company, provincial and prefecture governments, as well as resettlement office at different levels shall be responsible for implementing and guiding the resettlement work in the county and village level. Presently, part of local governments at different levels along the line have set up the leading institutions for railway construction for which of the government leaders will be responsible. The people in charge of each part are the member of the institution. Development and Reform Commission of governments at various levels in other regions, if without corresponding institutions, should be in the charge of all related affairs during preparation of this project. Once this project is initiated, local governments at all levels will set railway support offices or similar institutions to cooperate and support railway construction and resettlement.

The affected population should be informed of possible impacts at different stages of this project and participate in negotiation. The stakeholders participating in the negotiation include the heads of influenced household, the village heads and villager representatives, departments of local governments and the disadvantaged group. The information relating to acquisition and resettlement has been broadcasting through public media such as newspaper, broadcasting stations and public announcement etc and meetings at the level of village to stimulate understanding and support of all communities/villages in the project area. Along with the progress of the project, the influenced families will also take part in the negotiation of specific resettlement actions: such as detailed measurement, determination of location of flyover, selection of sites of new houses and appeals etc. In the process of specific implementation of land acquisition and resettlement, the influenced population and enterprises can lodge complaints to local administrative departments, government institutions, project owner, external monitoring institutions and courts concerning land acquisition, housing demolition, compensation and resettlement. In addition, the influenced population will often be provided with opportunities to discuss the issues involving compensation and resettlement with the representatives of the organizations of all levels in charge of implementing and managing the project through public meetings, hearing, public negotiation and on-site survey etc.

The the Ministry of Railways and Resettlement Offices of local governments at all levels will jointly take the responsibility for granting the compensation fee and internal monitoring and supervision on house reconstruction, land acquisition and appealing of affected population. The Ministry of Railways will prepare the quarterly resettlement monitoring reports and submit them the World Bank until the resettlement is completed. After that, the Ministry of Railways will submit the post-evaluation report to the World Bank. What’s more, the Ministry of Railway will entrust an independent monitoring institution to undertake the work of external monitoring and assessment. External monitoring work includes base data survey, review and approval of granting compensation fee, examining and approving resettlement programs and implementation results, assessing appeal procedures and feedback/satisfaction degree of the influenced population about the interests and compensation, assessing the recovery of income of the influenced population and learning lessons from it to help future resettlement. External monitoring should submit monitoring and assessment report to the Ministry of Railway and the World Bank every half year until the resettlement is completed.

Chapter 1 Overview

1 1.1 Project Introduction

The Hohhot-Zhangjiakou Rapid Railway passes through Zhangjiakou City in Hebei Province, and Wulanchabu and Hohhot City in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The line, from east to west, goes through four categories five kinds of landforms, including Yanghe river valley, low-and-middle hills, basin area of Huangqihai Lakes, low-and-middle mountains in Zhuozi, inclined plaints in front of Daqingshan Mountain.

Local governments are responsible for land requisition and demolition and corresponding fees in their administrative regions. The expenses for land requisition and demolition shall be raised by belonged cities and provinces and shall be regarded as local capital funds to be counted as shares after recognized by all parties; the rest funds shall be shouldered by the Ministry of Railways, by using railway construction fund and self-possessed funds of railway enterprises. The other funds except capital funds are to be borrowed from China Agricultural Bank, the State Development Bank and Huaxia Bank.

Construction of Hohhot-Zhangjiakou rapid railway is of much significance to strengthen the economic link between Inner Mongolia “hubaoe economic circle”and Beijing and better involve in Beijing Two Hour economic circle, meet demands of regional passenger transport and improve coal transport capacity of “Sanxi”, construct a large-capacity freight corridor among Beijing, Baotou and Lanzhou and meet the requirements of transport coals in West Inner Mongolia to the outside, improve the rapid railway network in China and construct a rapid railway transport in Northwest and North China, and strengthen the construction of export port and build to be an international transport corridor.

2 1.2 Preparations for Resettlement Action Plan

The Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for the project is developed by the Foreign Capital Center of the Ministry of Railways with assistances of Wisdom Management Consulting Co. ,Ltd. According to the arrangement of the Department of Planning of the Ministry of Railways, the China Railway Engineering Consults Group Co., Ltd. (“CREC”) conducts formulation of feasibility study report of the project.

With close coordinations from the design institution and Wisdom Management Consulting Co. ,Ltd, the Foreign Capital Center of the Ministry of Railways begun to prepare resettlement action plan as of June 2010, and the resettlement plan and social economic survey were completed from August to September 2010. In October 2011, re-checking on impacts of resettlement was made according to the final version of the feasiblity study report and the pre-evaluation report of RAP was submitted in November 2011. If big differences between the preliminary design plan and feasiblity study result in huge changes on resettlement impacts, the RAP will be updated and report to the World Bank for approval.

3 1.3 Measures for Mitigating Project Impacts

1 1.3.1 Project Planning and Design Stage

Construction of the project will of course involve land acquisition, demolition and resettlement, and at the same time, and the existing production and living conditions of residents will unavoidably be impacted. In order to mitigate impacts of the project construction on local social economy at planning and design stage, the design organization and the owner has taken some effective measures as follows:

A. The line should proceed along mountain areas as possible, so the acquisition of cultivated land drastically decreases;

B. The basic farmlands passing through by the line are mainly distributed in Wan’an County and Huai’an County located in the both sides of Dayang River, as well as Wulanchabu City and Hohhot City. In order to reduce the occupation of basic farmlands, Huzhang Railway shall share common corridors with existing transport channels as much as possible.

C. The land occupied by the project shall be wastelands and reduce the requisition on farmlands and forest lands.

2 1.3.2 Project Construction Stage

During the stage of project construction, measures the contractors will take include:

A. Enhance the mechanism of public participation. Before the projects construction to place notices in affected areas and resettlement areas, including the time period of the project construction and planned progress; to publicize policy frameworks on compensation of land acquisition, demolition, relocation and resettlement, and to accept the supervision of the existing residents in the resettlement areas;

B. Improve the earth and stone project. Make a rational deployment according to the principle of full utilization. The earth and stones digging out from cutting excavation and base foundation of bridges shall be used for subgrade and filing materials for stations and temporary project, in order to save land, reduce damage on reclamation and avoid land and water erosion. Earth cutting and spoil fields shall use slopes or wastelands as much as possible by in line with local planning. Drainage design shall be made to avoid surface runoff. After earth cutting and spoiling, revegetation shall be conducted according to local land features and local planning.

C. Dispose of waste in the construction site. As the construction period is long and there will be many construction workers, the construction will produce a lot of waste, domestic or otherwise. The contractors should timely clean up all waste in the construction site according to the requirements of the local Environmental and Health Department. The contractors should ensure the cleanliness of the construction site to avoid breeding and spreading of infectious diseases;

D. During the construction period, the contractors will place priority in using local construction materials. Under practical circumstances, the contractors should also place priority in using local transportation and labor to enable the affected people to benefit from the construction of the project.

E. Make a scientific planning and rational layout on spoil ground, construction domestic zones, construction roads and reduce temporary land use. Preparation work for reclamation on temporary land use shall be conducted in advance

3 1.3.3 Implementation Stage

In the implementation, the following measures shall be taken to minimize the impact on the local residents:

A. The RAP is prepared for the railway infrastructure project funded by the World Bank loans. Implementation of the RAP shall follow the principle of by-stages.

B. Modify the resettlement schemes based on actual conditions to ensure the standard of living of the people will not decline;

C. Enforce internal and external monitoring, and establish an effective and straightforward mechanism and channels for feedback. Shorten the time period for handling information to ensure problems that arise during construction may be resolved promptly;

D. Conduct key monitoring on the distribution of compensation funds and living-hood restoration complementary measures. Review experiences and lesions of resettlement in the same region in order to minimize negative impacts of resettlement.

3 2.3 Social and Economic Survey

1 2.3.1 Overview

This section describes the socio-economic characteristics of the population who may face possible land loss or property loss. This information comes from the survey on in-kind indics and the socio-economic surveys in the feasibility study phase.

2 2.3.2 On-site investigations in 2010

The investigation has been strongly supported by villagers and governments at all during the investigation. The investigation is completed through collecting data from the Bureau of Statistics, the National Development and Reform Commission and other relevant local government departments, and through holding informal discussions with local government officials. Detailed topics include the future industrial development, railway route selection, the location of the stations in the towns and villages, the setting of pedestrian access and culverts, arable land reduction, especially farmland acquisition and house demolition, and local economic development and poverty release. The investigation on physical impact will be based on the feasibility study. The investigation and statistics on agrarian Impact will be developed in a unit of village. The survey of private residential buildings will take a household as a unit. The survey on individually owned auxiliary facilities and trees will take a household as a unit. The survey on public infrastructures and special projects will take a unified organization as a unit.

Through the investigation,China Railway Consulting Group has considered the local socio-economic development and environmental protection at the stage of route selection, which reduced the relative quantity of requistioned lands and the corresponding impacts. These findings have been fully reflected in the project design and resettlement planning.

3 2.3.3 Socio-economic Survey on Affected Villages and Population (2010)

In order to understand the basic living condition of the migrant families in the project area and analyze the impacts on local immigrants, a random sample survey has been made on the production and living conditions of the affected families. The survey is made possible by comparing their similarities and differences.

The affected migrant families under investigation are chosen randomly and questionnaires and informal discussions are applied to the survey. The survey group made social and economic surveys on 100 affected villages in 22 towns of 8 counties/districts (As Shangyi County are only passed through by tunnels, no land requisition or demolition) in the three cities. The group made a sample of 426 households, (1303 persons), among them, 336 sample households affected by land requisition, 35.18% of the total number of households affected by land requisition (955 households); 254 demolition sample households, 23.56% of the total demolished households (1078 households). There are 164 households who are impacted by land requisition and demolition, and 172 households are only affected by land requisition (See Table 2-2). It should be pointed out there are 1035 rural households affected by demolition. Meanwhile, there are 43 urban households (133 persons) affected by the demolition. It is found out from the survey that the 43 urban households are all residents changing from rural residenceship into urban residenceship, and their housing conditions and located areas being totally similar with surrounding rural houses. Therefore, their houses are treated samely with rural houses in terms of surveys, compensation standards and resettlement plans.

The survey group also learned about opinions and suggestions on the project from the 426 sample households (mainly targeting the head of the household) by means of questionnaires. They made a census on social and economic conditions in all the 100 villages affected by the project; The impact value on in-kind indics such as affected lands and houses has been calculated, through data summarization as well as feasibility study and on-site investigation on routes conducted by the design institute. The sample households cover all types of affected households in all affected district, being representative and typical.

Methods of investigating the affected population, land, housing and auxiliary facilities, scattered trees and special facilities: on-site division of county (city, district), township (town, street) and village (neighborhood) is the basis of ownership-division; the quantity of affected housing and subsidiary facilities are gathered into the village level; make a survey on the number of households and population affected by the houses to be demolished; gather information of lands into the village (committee); gather information of special facilities into the county (city, district) level.

Data source: on-site survey

4 2.4.3 Land requisition impacts

The surveyed peasants have planted 4831.92 mu dry lands in total. Almost 70% of the surveyed households are engaged in livestock breeding, most of whom are concentrated in Inner Mongolia. 40% of them plant cash crop, and 10% plant fruit trees. It is found out from the survey that the surveyed peasants own a relatively big land area, the biggest personal land volume reaching 86.67 mu, per capita farmland being 5.35 mu. The per capita farmland area in over 99% of the surveyed affected households is bigger than 0.3 mu, with one exception in three households in Nandian Village of Haoqinying Town in Xincheng District of Hohhot City. Generally speaking, the per capita farmland area of surveyed households is relatively bigger, except 24 households with a per capita land area lower than 1 mu, all the rest owning over 1 mu farmlands. Besides farmlands, peasants also own other kinds of agricultural land (including sloping field, forest and fruit fields)

Except the three villages with per capita farmland less than 0.3 mu, all the other affected villages keep 5-10% lands not being allocated to peasants for the purpose of flexibility. These lands will be cultivated by means of annual renting contract, and can be allocated to requisitioned peasants if needed.

As the per capita farmland area of affected household is bigger, and the project mainly conducts linear land requisition, therefore, there is no single households whose lands are requisitioned totally.

5 2.4.4 Production and Living

2.4.4.1 Peasants’ income

Table 2-5 shows the income conditions of the affected 426 households. Generally, the residents’ income distributions in the two provinces are much similar, with the three levels from 800 Yuan to 5000 Yuan occupy the largest proportion, nearly 90%. The percentage of households in absolute poverty line (less than 800 Yuan/person year) in Hebei is 2.96%, and 1.39% in Inner Mongolia. The percentage of households with per capita annual income reaching 5000 Yuan is about 10% in both provinces.
