1.2 Linked Projects
As is mentioned in the 4th article of Operational Policies for Involuntary Resettlement, the policy applies to all components of the project that result in involuntary resettlement, regardless of the source of financing. It also applies to other activities resulting in involuntary resettlement, that in the judgment of the Bank, are (a) directly and significantly related to the Bank-assisted project, (b) necessary to achieve its objectives as set forth in the project documents; and (c) carried out, or planned to be carried out, contemporaneously with the project.
According to the abovementioned principles, there are three linked projects: 1) extension line of Waliu Road connected with North Mid Ring Road; 2) extension line of Taihang Road connected with South Mid ring Road; 3) the bridge crossing Fenhe River.
Waliu Road and the North Mid Ring Road is 1.4 km away from each other. The construction of extension line of Waliu Road to the north can connect Waliu Road and North Mid Ring Road, and bring into full play the function of North Mid Ring Road as the urban expressway. In the World Bank financed project under planning, Taihang Road intersects Xutan East Street at Shenglidong Street towards the south, totaling 10.3 km, extending the Taihang Road northward for 1.7 km, connecting with North Mid Ring Road, forming a complete urban trunk road network, which can bring the function of Taihang Road as urban trunk road into full play. The bridge crossing Fenhe River itself is one section of North Mid Ring Road and connects two secons of North Mid Ring on the east and west banks of Fenhe River.
Considering that the abovementioned three subprojects are closely connected to this project, this Resettlement Action Plan list these three subprojects in the related projects of the World Bank Financed Urban Transport Project and brings the resettlement for them into this plan.
1.3 Regions Benefiting from the Project
The implementation of the World Bank Financed Urban Transport Project will optimize the transport system of Taiyuan city, the political, economical, cultural and transport center of Shanxi Province, make it more convenient for the outing of urban inhabitants, and enhance the functions of Taiyuan City in an all round way.
Great progresses have been made in city construction and transport in the 50 years since the founding of the P.R. China. But there are still some problems with urban transport that do not meet the demand for the development of the city. These problems are:
First, urban transport lags behind the development of the city: (1) the development of the city from the north to the south lacks the support of a backbone road; (2) the development of the east part of the city lacks the support of road network; (3) the city itself is still of a multi-circle structure with a single center, with many concentric circles, which result in the serious traffic problems in the central area. Second, the demand and supply of transport is imbalanced: (1) the capacity of road network in the city center cannot adapt to the fast development trend of motor vehicles; (2) the road network in the peripheral region still needs improvement; it is urgently needed to guide the development of land through construction of road network; (3) the traffic is more and more crowded in roads crossing Fen River; (4) static transport is seriously lagging behind.
Third, public transport is developing at a low speed: (1) the buses for public transportation is old, the distribution of bus stops and bus stations are not reasonable, the measures for public transport priority are not enough, it takes a long time for passengers to walk to the bus stops, and to wait for the buses, and the distance of travel for most passengers doesn’t reach the ideal service distance for buses. All these lead to the low service level and the unpopularity of public transportation, which only account for 11% for all the outings of the citizens. (2) The road network is imperfect, which reduce the coverage of service. The public transportation in Taiyuan (excluding taxi) only has regular over-ground roads. There is no systematic planning for public transport lines. The lines are excessively concentrated in the trunk roads in the center area. (3) The facilities for bus stops are not reasonably arranged, the development of which is restricted by policies and insufficiency of fund. The maintenance for buses is of low level. All these lead to the small number and low quality of buses. Averagely, each 10,000 permanent population in the urban area only have 6.8 buses. The bus stations of different kinds only cover an area of about 356,400 ㎡, which could only meet the demand of parking for only 1, 153 buses.
Fourth, there are not enough routes for freight: (1) the flow of freight traffic brings huge pressure to central areas; (2) there is a lack of highly sufficient ways form the peripheral supply depots of goods to the city center.
Fifth, the traffic management level is low: (1) the unidirectional transport is lack of systematic planning; (2) the land for junctions is not enough; (3) the markings are not timely renewed; (4) slow traffic is not attached enough attention to, and the transport facilities are simple and unsophisticated, and small in number; (5) the intelligent facilities are of low levels; (6) the management of parking of buses need improvement.
Sixth, the connection to the outside is insufficient: (1) the roads are of low radiating capacity to the outside; (2) the connection with the outside transport should be improved.
Considering the above-mentioned problems, the authority of Taiyuan city conceived the idea of improving the transport with the loan from the World Bank, and has made an overall plan for the project (including 4 subprojects) after consultation with the experts of the World Bank. The following can be realized through the World Bank Financed Taiyuan Urban Transport Project: (1) the construction of North Ring Road and Taihang Road will reduce the pressure on the central area, and reduce traffic jams in the central area; (2) the construction of the two roads would promote the development of the east and north parts of the city; (3) it will alleviate the crowded traffic of the north part of the city that crosses the Fen River. (4) It will increase the number of people taking buses and improve the transport conditions. (5) It will facilitate the outing of vulnerable groups, improving the traffic management and improving the efficiency of roads.
1.4 Regions Affected by the Project
The impact of the World Bank Financed Taiyuan Urban Transport Project is limited within Taiyuan City. The road network improvement project and public transport improvement project involve Bolin District, Jiancaoping District, Xinghualing District, Yingze District, Xiaodian District and Jinyuan District. The road network improvement project that leads to most relocation involves 5 districts, 10 sub-district offices (townships), and 31 villages (communities)。
For the project of public transport, four bus stations and two parking and maintenance lost are distributed in five districts, six streets and six villages.
Among related project, the relocation for the extension line of Taihang Road involves Xiaodian District, Beiying Sub-district Office, two villages (Xudong Village and Xutan Village) and a community (Community of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences); the extension of Waliu Road involves Dongshe Village of Dongshe Community in Wanbolin District.
The impact scope of the resettlement of Taiyuan Urban Transport Project is as shown in Table 1-2.

1.5 Measures to Minimize Resettlement
1.5.1 Measures adopted in the project design stage
In the planning and design stage, to mitigate the impact on local economy, the leading group of the World Bank Financed Taiyuan Urban Transport Project has several meetings together with the consulting and design departments to discuss how to optimize the design and how to mitigate impact.

Picture 1-1 Personnel of the Resettlement Office, design and consulting units are
surveying the site to optimize the alignment
Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design General Institute, responsible for the design of the project, East China Investigation and Design Institute, responsible for environmental impact assessment, Research Center for Involuntary Resettlement, Wuhan University, responsible for resettlement consulting, Liaoning Academy of Social Sciences, responsible for public participation and collecting of complaints give their suggestions for optimization of the project. The suggestions are reported to the project office by Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design General Institute. In the project design stage, the principles agreed upon to reduce impact are as follows:
First, compare different schemes, take the impact on local society and economy into consideration, minimize the use of cultivated land.
Second, minimize relocation, and take this as the major factor when choosing schemes. Leave reasonable space for other public utilities.
Third, for reconstruction and expansion of roads, when deciding the length of the red line, take the relocation into consideration, and maintain the original length of red line to reduce relocation.
For example, at the east section of North Mid Ring Road, there are two design schemes. One is the circuitous line scheme and the other is direct line scheme. Based on the initial design by Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design General Institute, East China Investigation and Design Institute and Research Center for Involuntary Resettlement, Wuhan University compare the two schemes from the aspect of environmental impact and resettlement. The environmental assessment indicates, the circuitous line scheme brings huge impact on the Zoo, and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. The resettlement research indicates the direct line has more advantages in terms of the amount of displaced persons and relocation, and resettlement cost. What’s more, the direct line scheme makes it possible to combine this transport project with the old city reconstruction project and “village within the city” reconstruction project. Therefore, it is suggested to adopt the direct line scheme. See Attachment 1 for detailed demonstration of direct line and circuitous line schemes for North Mid Ring.

As well, in the process of site selection for initial and terminal Stations and parking and maintenance lost, the design institution puts forward two or three programs for each initial and terminal Station and parking and maintenance and submits them to the resettlement department and the environmental assessment department for field exploration and physical survey. The site selection program will be determined ultimately through comprehensive evaluation based on the opinions of different departments.
For example, For Wohushan Initial and Terminal Station, the site in the original program is located in Zhongjianhe Village in Xinghualing District, 70m away from the main entrance of the zoo and 400m away from Jianhe Road, with superior geographic location. However, this plot involves a large area of relocation. It is estimated that the area of the buildings to be relocated is 8500㎡ and 140 households with 430 members need to be resettled. Besides, this plot has a complicated property right, involving the dwelling land of the staff of Taiyuan Iron and Steel, the dwelling land of the villagers of Zhongjianhe Village, the dormitory of Taiyuan Earthquake Bureau and the staff quarter of Taiyuan Slaughterhouse. After field exploration, the resettlement department suggests adopting the comparative program. The site in the comparative program is located in Zhongjianhe Village in Xinghualing District, 1500m away from the north entrance of the Zoo and bordering on the streets on both sides, with superior location. The land occupies is the collective land of Zhongjianhe Village, and now its use right is held by Hengyihua Co., Ltd. and the refractory material plant. The land acquisition and relocation involves the above-mentioned two companies and Zhongjianhe Village, and the communication will be easier. It is estimated that the houses of 2238.8㎡ will be relocated and no relocation of private houses is involved. The optimized program reduces the quantity of resettlement to a great extent.
1.5.2 Measures to be adopted during implementation
When relocation cannot be avoided, to mitigate impact of the construction, the following measures shall be adopted:
●Collect basic information, make an in-depth analysis of local socio-economic status, make feasible Resettlement Action Plan to ensure that that the displaced persons would not suffer from loss due to the implementation of the project.
●Encourage the participation and supervision of the public.
●Strength internal and external monitoring, set up highly efficient feedback mechanism and channels, minimize the period for the disposal of information to ensure the timely solution of problems occurring in the construction. Notify in advance displaced persons, arrange sites for relocation, compensate the loss of displaced persons, minimize the idling period, and provide jobs for employees of affected enterprises.
●During the relocation, get help and support from local governmental authorities to ensure the smooth implementation of resettlement, and to reduce the pressure and loss of displaced persons, institutions and enterprises.
1.5.3 Measures to be adopted during the construction
The following measures are to be adopted during the construction to mitigate impact:
●Reasonably make construction plan and arrange traffic. For example, when reconstructing or expanding road, when possible, the construction is carried out on one half of the road, the other half is reserved for traffic, and adjust the traffic within a small area, minimizing the impact of construction on the surrounding environment and traffic order. When excavating, all the factors shall be taken into full consideration. The excavation, laying of pipelines and backfilling shall be finished in the shortest time possible. For road crossing road with heavy traffic, the construction shall not be carried out in rush hours (for example the construction is carried out during the night to ensure smooth traffic flow in the day). Barbarian work manner is to be avoided. It is forbidden to destroy existing pipelines. Warning signs, signals and leading marks shall be set up for vehicles and pedestrians. After the completion of the construction, the site shall be cleared and opened to the traffic.
●Dredged spoil shall be timely carried out, and over loading is forbidden. Measures shall be taken to avoid spilling along the road. Before driving out, the tires of vehicles shall be flushed by high pressure water to avoid pollution of roads. The entrance of the construction site shall be timely cleaned.
●In the area within 200 m away from residences of the civilians, the construction is forbidden from 22 o’clock in the evening to 8 o’clock the next morning. And equipment with low noise shall be chosen for construction. For construction at night that affects citizens, measures shall be taken to eliminate or control noises, and temporary sound barrier equipment shall be set up around the construction site or near the residences of the civilians.
●The construction unit shall timely contact with local environmental sanitation department to clear and clean the wastes in the construction sites to make it clean and tidy.

2．Project Impact Analysis
2.1 Definition of Project Impact
Physical survey scope of project impact is the red line scope of road planning determined according to design organization of project planning, generally with 25m of both sides of road center, namely, all affected things within the range of 50m width belong to survey scope. In some regions, design organization of project planning carried out local optimization and slightly adjusted project impact scope according to topographic characteristics, engineering requirements and actual situation. Because the project is still in the process of optimization design while the physical survey for the resettlement is carried out, design organization of the project may carry out optimization design to the route and the date on land acquisition and relocation may be further adjusted. Resettlement office will modify and perfect Resettlement Action Plan according to adjustment data. Meanwhile, any significant change of project impact will be reported to the World Bank prior to implementation and the reasons for the change will be explained. This resettlement plan also applies to the extra displaced persons, affected enterprises and institutions, affected villages and others.
Project impact is defined as follows:
(1) Permanent occupied land: all varieties of cultivated land and uncultivated land to be used permanently within the red line range of the project.

2.2 Project Socioeconomic Survey
From December 2006 to January 2007, displaced persons of The World Bank Financed Taiyuan Urban Transport Project and environment evaluation department and Center for Resettlement Research of Wuhan University successfully made the resettlement survey in the regions affected by North Mid Ring, Taihang Toad and related projects together with the great help of resettlement offices of Yingze District, Xinghualing District, Jiancaoping District, Wanbolin District and Xiaodian District. The resettlement survey consisted of two parts: one was survey of objects in land acquisition and relocation that maybe involved in project construction; the other was survey of social economy of the displaced persons and enterprises and institutions.
In accordance with the involuntary resettlement policies of the World Bank, the land acquisition and relocation caused by the resettlement spots used for building resettlement houses for the families relocated due to the project will be brought into the impact scope of the project and the unified resettlement policies will be implemented. With respect to the resettlement spots, because at present only the written proposal of location is completed and the approximate location is determined, the accurate position needs to be detailed and the conditions for carrying out detailed survey on land acquisition and relocation have not been equipped with. Therefore, the Project Resettlement Office works out specific Resettlement Framework for the resettlement of resettlement spots in accordance with the policies and standards in line with this project, and will prepare the detailed Resettlement Plan for the resettlement spots after the conditions are equipped with.
The resettlement survey may be divided into three parts as follows:
1．Literature survey
a. Statistic of social economy of Taiyuan city and the project area;
b. Local laws and regulations of the state, Shanxi province and Taiyuan city related to land acquisition and resettlement.
2．Social economy background survey
a. Survey of basic circumstances of affected families and vulnerable families in the area;
b. Public opinions and suggestions;
c. Survey of basic circumstances of affected villages in the area: population, labour force, industrial structure, and plantation and etc.
3．Survey of affected objects in land acquisition and relocation
a. Circumstance of land acquisition: position, category and area;
b. Relocated buildings and other attachments to the land: position, category, and quantity and property rights;
c. Category and quantity of various public facilities;
d. Basic circumstances and affected situation of enterprises and institutions.
The survey gathered the impact situation of 2193 affected families, 112 affected enterprises and institutions, 114 shops and one smallware market, carried out sampling survey on the basic situation of 347 families, initially knew basic impact resulted from the project and provided information for compiling of Resettlement Action Plan. Meanwhile, the survey also gathered statistical information of social and economic development of affected areas in recent years, relevant policies and local laws and regulations relating to land acquisition and house relocation in affected areas, important cases about land acquisition and relocation in recent years and basic information about market exchange of Taiyuan estate. The information can be regarded as the reference to establishment of the compensation policy.
Towards the end of July 2007, after the design program for initial and terminal stations and parking and maintenance lots of the project of public transport was put forward, the Project Resettlement Office organized the personnel of the resettlement consulting organization and the public transport company to carry out resettlement survey on four initial and terminal stations and two parking and maintenance lots, holding complete resettlement information and laying the foundation of perfecting the Resettlement Action Plan.

2.4 Impact of Land Acquisition for the Project
According to the survey and statistics, total area of the land requisitioned for the project is 2124.77mu, including 795.47mu of collective land and 1320mu of state-owned land. Among the collective land requisitioned, cultivated land is 93.74mu, and non-cultivated land is 701.73mu; among the state-owned land requisitioned, the land used for construction is 1176mu, and the state-owned agricultural land and wood land is 144mu.
2.4.1 Acquisition of rural collectively-owned land
North Mid Ring
North Mid Ring Road is involved in the acquisition of rural collectively-owned land in two districts (Jiancaoping and Xinghualing) and four villages (Dadongliu, Xiaodongliu, Xiliu and Xiangtang). The total area of land acquired is 104.41mu, including 35.1mu of cultivated land and 69.31mu of uncultivated land.
Taihang Road
Taihang Road is involved in the acquisition of rural collectively-owned land in three districts (Xinghualing District, Yingze District and Xiaodian District). The total area of land acquired is 508.56 mu, including 29.44 mu of cultivated land, 5.79%, and 69.31mu of uncultivated land, 94.21%. See Table 2-2 for the details of the acquisition of collectively-owned land of each affected village.
Analysis on survey data shows that, cultivated land affected by Taiyuan urban transport project mainly is housing site and three-barren land, and the area of cultivated land is 93.74mu. According to the field survey of survey personnel of Center for Involuntary Resettlement Research, Wuhan University, for this, there are two reasons as follows:
Firstly, the scope of project impact is peri urban, around which less cultivated land exists.
Secondly, on Taihang Road, where acquisition of collectively-owned land centers, the land acquired has been controlled in Xiaozaogou, Daochanggou, San’ergou, Baergou in Xinghualing District according to Taiyuan urban planning. The land used for construction on Taihang Road has been controlled for many years.
64.54mu of cultivated land acquired for the project mainly is fruit garden and greenhouse, contracted by seven peasant family households, among which, two are in Dadongliu Village in Jiancaoping District, two in Xiaozaogou Village in Xinghualing District, one in Longbao Village in Xiaodian District and two in Dianpo Village inYingze District. Property rights of 1.46mu and 0.8mu green houses belong to Baergou Village and Daochanggou Village in Xinghualing District, but at present, one is used by a military organization (490 Army). There are 30 members and 16 labors in these seven households.
Project of public transport
In the project of public transport, Helaowan Initial and Terminal Station occupies the land of 10.8mu, all of which is non-cultivated land; Nanhan Depot occupies the land of 121.5mu, all of which is non-cultivated land; Beiying Depot occupies the land of 90mu, which is the wood land of the Base of Stud Plot of the Provincial Forestry Department; Beiyan Initial and Terminal Station occupies the cultivated land of 15.7mu, involving 2 contracting households; Yingxin Street Initial and Terminal Station occupies the land of 13.5mu, which is the fruit garden contracted by two households; Zoo Initial and Terminal Station occupies the land 21mu, all of which is non-cultivated land. Total area of the cultivated land requisitioned for the project of public transport is29.2mu, involving 4 families, 18 persons and 9 labors.

Seen from survey results, dwelling condition of affected families in Xinghualing District is weaker, which is expressed in the following three aspects: firstly, 91.6% of families live in single story buildings; secondly, 82% of houses were built 15 years ago; thirdly, 50% of families have no property rights of the houses they live in. In consideration of the large quantity of affected families in Xinghualing District and most samples for survey in Xinghualing District, Xinghualing needs special attention for dwelling houses of future resettlement.
For household income of rural residents, nonagricultural incomes are their main sources. Among Jiaocaoping District, Xinghualing District and Yingze District with concentrated displaced persons, the peasants in Xinghualing District have low incomes. Urban residents mainly rely on salary incomes. Seen from the districts, incomes of urban residents in Jiancaoping District are higher than that in Xinghualing District and Yingze District, main reason for which is that some affected urban residents in Jiancaoping District are working in Taiyuan Iron & Steel (Group) Co., Ltd. and this company is an enterprise with outstanding economic benefits in Taiyuan.

As to dwelling space, according the data supplied by Taiyuan Bureau of Statistics, at the end of 2006, per capita dwelling space in urban area is 12㎡. Rural residents have larger dwelling spaces. In 2006, per capita dwelling space of rural residents in Jiancaoping District is 25㎡, in Wanbolin District 28㎡, in Xinghualing District 31㎡, in Yingze District 30㎡, and in Xiaodian District 31㎡. The results of resettlement survey are generally in line with the above data. According to survey results, dwelling spaces of over 80% of rural residents are more than 80㎡, while that of 24% of urban residents are less than 402. The resettlement of these families is a key of future resettlement.

3.4 Analysis on Family Information of Affected Vulnerable Groups
Seen from special information of families of vulnerable groups, family members may be disabled, weak and sickly or have no regular income sources. See Attached Table 9 for special information of 109 vulnerable families.
The impact of land acquisition and relocation on vulnerable families faces two difficulties: firstly, the capital for buying new houses is not enough; secondly, house relocation and transition needs the support of manpower. This needs special attention during the process of resettlement.
3.5 Impact on Ethnic Minorities and Social Gender
According to census information supplied by Taiyuan Bureau of Statistics, there are 46 nationalities including Han, Man, Hui, Yi and others, among which, the population of Han nationality is over 99%. According to socioeconomic survey for resettlement, 99.49% of displaced persons belong to Han nationality, and there is no community with concentrated ethnic minorities within impact scope of Taiyuan Urban Transport Project. Therefore, the problem about the impact on ethnic minorities doesn’t exist.
According to sampling survey of resettlement organization, 48.5% of displaced persons are female. Generally speaking, educational level of women in affected regions is relatively low. Education level of most rural women is below junior high school, and illiterate and semi-illiterate women have a higher proportion. According to sampling survey, 8% of women are illiterate or semi-illiterate; 24% have accepted education in primary school, 54% have studied in junior high school, 11% graduated from senior high school or secondary technical school, and only 23% have accepted higher education.
The impact on employment of displaced persons is mainly in affected enterprises and institutions. In the enterprises and institutions with production and business being not affected, the employment of women is not affected by the project. For the enterprises with production and business being affected, resettlement office will give priority to the benefits of female employees during the recovery and resettlement of these enterprises.
As to the impact of relocation, 1834 households will obtain better dwelling conditions. For the women bearing most of labor service of the families, improvement of dwelling condition and environment may reduce their labor burden.
Seen from overall impact of the project, the construction of the project will significantly improve urban transport situation of Taiyuan. For the women more relying on urban public transport, the project will provide convenience for the transport of women and improve the quality of women’s life and this is a positive impact.

4.2.4 The World Bank’s relevant policies on involuntary resettlement
Policies of involuntary resettlement are specified by OP4.12 and BP4.12 which are operational polices and procedures of World Bank on involuntary resettlement, of which main articles related to this project include:
●Policy Objectives for Resettlement
1. Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring all viable alternative project designs.
2. Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs, providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits. Displaced persons should be meaningfully consulted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs.
●Measures to Achieve Objectives
3. The resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are:
(i) Informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement;
(ii) Consulted on, offered choices among, and provided with technically and economically feasible resettlement alternatives; and
(iii) Provided prompt and effective compensation at full replacement cost for losses of assets attributable directly to the project.
4. If it includes physical relocation, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are:
(i) Provided assistance (such as moving subsidy) during physical relocation; and
(ii) Provided with residential housing, or housing sites, or, as required, agricultural sites for which a combination of productive potential, advantages of location, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the old site.
5. Where necessary to achieve the objectives of the policy, the resettlement plan or resettlement policy framework also includes measures to ensure that displaced persons are:
(i) Offered support after displacement, for a transition period, based on a reasonable estimate of the time likely to be needed to restore their livelihood and standards of living; and
(ii) Provided with development assistance such as land preparation, credit facilities, training, or job opportunities.
●Particular attention is paid to the needs of vulnerable groups among those displaced, especially those below the poverty line, the landless, the elderly, women and children, indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities, or other displaced persons who may not be protected through national land compensation legislation.
●Preference should be given to land-based resettlement strategies for displaced persons whose livelihoods are land-based. These strategies may include resettlement on public land, or on private land acquired or purchased for resettlement. Whenever replacement land is offered, displaced persons are provided with land for which a combination of productive potential, advantages of location, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the land taken. If land is not the preferred option of the displaced persons, the provision of land would adversely affect the sustainability of a park or protected area, or sufficient land is not available at a reasonable price, non-land-based options built around opportunities for employment or self-employment should be provided in addition to cash compensation for land and other assets lost. The lack of adequate land must be demonstrated and documented to the satisfaction of the Bank.
●Payment of cash compensation for lost assets may be appropriate where (a) livelihoods are land-based but the land taken for the project is a small fraction of the affected asset and the residual is economically viable; or (b) active markets for land, housing, and labor exist, displaced persons use such markets, and there is sufficient supply of land and housing; or (c) livelihoods are not land-based. Cash compensation levels should be sufficient to replace the lost land and other assets at full replacement cost in local markets.
●Displaced persons and their communities, and any host communities receiving them, are provided timely and relevant information, consulted on resettlement options, and offered opportunities to participate in planning, implementing, and monitoring resettlement. Appropriate and accessible grievance mechanisms are established for these groups.
●In new resettlement sites or host communities, infrastructure and public services are provided as necessary to improve, restore, or maintain accessibility and levels of service for the displaced persons and host communities. Alternative or similar resources are provided to compensate for the loss of access to community resources (such as fishing areas, grazing areas, fuel, or fodder).
●Patterns of community organization appropriate to the new circumstances are based on choices made by the displaced persons. To the extent possible, the existing social and cultural institutions of displaced persons and any host communities are preserved and displaced persons’ preferences with respect to relocating in preexisting communities and groups are honored.
4.3 Polices on Resettlement for This Project

Monetary compensation rate and reference
In order to determine the amount of monetary compensation for the house to be relocated, Taiyuan Financial Assessment Center and Taiyuan Construction Budget and Settlement Auditing Center undertake evaluation of dwelling houses in the relocation scope according to relevant national policies and codes concerning real estate valuation and determine compensations prices of various building to the relocated for the project under the principle of replacement cost.

2) If monetary compensation is provided for public-property dwelling house (public-property dwelling house under the direct administration of the municipality and that under the administration of the institution itself), 30% of monetary compensation will be paid to the relocate (property owner), and 70% will be paid to the leaseholder (user).
Amount of monetary compensation = Property building area of house to be relocated ×Unit price of market evaluation×70%
3) Non-domestic house
The calculation formula of the amount of monetary compensation for non-domestic house is the same as the above.
If the property owner and the user of non-domestic house are different persons, 60% of monetary compensation will be paid to the user (leaseholder), and 40% will be paid to the property owner (relocatee).
4) For the relocation of leased house, if the agreement between the relocatee and the leaseholder cannot be achieved on canceling leasehold relation or the house involves dispute, monetary compensation will not be provided, and the exchange of property right will be carried out by the relocater for the relocatee.

●If the exchange of property right is carried out for the relocation of private dwelling house, provided that the building area of resettlement house equals the building area of property right of relocated house, the price of structural difference will not be settled if the structures are the same, and the price difference may be settled according to individual evaluation price if the structures are different.
●The preference of 10% will be provided for the resettlement house on the basis of property building area of the house to be relocated, and the relocatee pays expenses at 1800 Yuan/㎡ for high-rise building and 1500 Yuan/㎡ for multi-storied building.
● If the relocatee require increasing resettlement area, the area increased less than 10㎡ (including 10㎡) will be settled at 2000 Yuan/㎡; if the area increased is more than 10㎡ and less than 20㎡ (including 20㎡), the construction cost will be settled at 2300 Yuan/㎡; the extra part more than 20㎡ will be settled as per the price of commercial housing at 3200 Yuan/㎡.
That is, building area of the house to be resettled = property building area of the house to be relocated ×110%.
●For the relocation of public-property and institutional-property dwelling houses, in principle, the property right will be bought out. That is, for the part of property building area of the original house, after the leaseholder buys the property right of the house at 30% of market evaluation price, the exchange of property right will be carried out.

5. Resettlement Compensation Rates
On the basis of deep survey and research, various kinds of compensation rates listed in the Resettlement Action Plan, were established after full negotiation with the affected units, persons and relevant local governmental departments of Taiyuan City according to relevant laws and regulations in the People’s Republic of China and Shanxi Province and involuntary resettlement policy of the World Bank, aiming to make the displaced persons to retrieve and improve their living standard after resettlement in a short period.
5.1 Basis of Establishment of Compensation Rates
5.1.1 Basis of establishment of land compensation rates
According to Land Law of the People’s Republic of China and Regulations for the Implementation of Land Law, compensation rates of requisition land constitute three sections, namely, land compensation, resettlement subsidy and compensation for young crops. According to relevant laws and regulations in Land Management Law of the People’s Republic of China and Methods of Land Management Law of the People’s Republic of China Implemented by Shanxi Province of Shanxi province, the first three compensations need to be made sure the average production value of previous three years at first and then decide a reasonable compensation multiple to calculate.
According to the abovementioned policies, the Resettlement Office selects the cultivated land with the highest output value in affected region, refers to per unit area yield publicized by Taiyuan Statistics Bureau and grain price in the market, and calculates compensation rates for land acquisition as per the highest multiple (30 times) of annual output value in each region.
Table 5-1 Compensation rates for land acquisition calculated as per the highest multiples (30 times) of average annual output value
|Affected region |Per unit area yield |Unit price (Yuan/kg) |Output value (Yuan) |Times |Compensation amount |
| |(kg) | | | |(Yuan) |
|Xiaodian District |388.00 |2.1 |814.8 |30 |24444 |
|Yingze District |335.20 |2.1 |703.92 |30 |21117.6 |
|Xinghualing District |346.73 |2.1 |728.14 |30 |21844.2 |
|Jiancaoping District |359.13 |2.1 |754.18 |30 |22625.4 |
|Wanbolin District |371.40 |2.1 |779.94 |30 |23398.2 |
|Jinyuan District |393.27 |2.1 |825.86 |30 |24775.8 |
Seen from the results in Table 5-1, among compensation rates for land acquisition calculated according to the regulations of the current land law, the highest is RMB 24776 Yuan.
No. 28 Document issued by the State Council on Oct 21st, 2004 states that the peoples government of each province, autonomous region and municipality directly under the Central Government should stipulate and publicize unified annual output value standard and district comprehensive land price for land acquisition of each city or county. The Resettlement office of Taiyuan Urban Transport Project knows that the Land and Resources Departments of Shanxi Province and Taiyuan City have measured and established unified annual output value of the land or district land price in accordance with No.28 File and directions of the Ministry of Land and Resources of P.R.C., and determined that the unified district price for land acquisition in affected region is 50,000 Yuan/mu, 25,000 Yuan higher than compensation rate worked out as per the highest times of annual output value. The up-to-date unified annual output value standard and district comprehensive land price have been formulated and reported, but have not been formally publicized or implemented.
Although the unified district price for land acquisition in Taiyuan City has not been publicized, in order to maintain the interests of the persons suffering from land acquisition and provide conditions for recovering and improving their living level, the Resettlement Office and the land department of each district agree to provide compensation as per the unified district price, i.e. 50,000 Yuan/mu, after full consultation. Among the 50000yuan ,1000yuan is compensation for young crops, and 49000 is for land acquisition. If the village provide cultivated land for the affected family, the land compensation will be use by village , otherwise, 70% of it(34300yuan per mu) will be paid to the family directly.
5.1.2 Basis of establishment of compensation rates for buildings
All the affected buildings will be compensated according to the replacement costs. In order to know replacement costs of all the affected buildings exactly, the Project Resettlement Office, local resettlement office and the survey and consultation unit Center for Resettlement Research of Wuhan University did the ad hoc survey through following methods to know the replacement costs of affected buildings and the feasible compensation rates from December 2006 to March 2007:
First, know price index of various exchanges of estates at present through exchange information of Taiyuan estate held by Taiyuan Real Estate Bureau. In particular, know information about current second-hand houses exchange through price change of existential estate to offer basis for resettlement rates and establishing policies. See the information shown in block diagram 5-1.
According to Measuring and Calculating Methods of Base Price of Urban Existential Houses Exchange in Taiyuan City, the scope of land acquisition and relocation in Taiyuan Urban Transport Project locates in D-level district. Usually, reference price for exchange of frame structure houses is RMB 1700 Yuan and price for exchange of brick and concrete houses is RMB 1300 Yuan.
|Box Methods of Establishing Reference price for Exchange of Current Estate in Taiyuan |

Third, know prices of the newly-built commercial buildings near affected area and price of villagers’ rebuilt houses during reforming of “villages in Taiyuan city” recently.
In the vicinity of Xiangtang Village and Xiangtang Community of north middle ring with most displaced persons, large-scale residential districts are being built with reforming of “villages in the city”. The staff of the Resettlement Office and the staff of Center for Resettlement Research of Wuhan University know the prices of the newly-built buildings after survey on the spot. For a building named “Xiangtang Youth Town”, the price of building under selling is 1700 to 1900 Yuan/㎡. For Xiaozaogou that is at the crossing of Taihang Road and Shenglidong Street, the staff responsible for survey find that price of large-scale Zaoyuan District is 1350 ~1500 Yuan/㎡.
Fourth, according to base price of land in different areas of Taiyuan and constructing and installation costs of various buildings, determine reference prices of various buildings in affected areas of this project.
In accordance with the information offered by Taiyuan Real Estate Bureau, the districts of this project are 3 or 4 districts in Taiyuan. See base prices of various lands in this district as shown in Table 5-3.
Table 5-3 Base prices of various lands of Taiyuan
|Land levels |Land types |Base price |Upper limit |Lower limit |
|3-level |Land for industrial purposes |242 |300 |170 |
| |Land for business purposes |1229 |1334 |1125 |
| |Land for residence |949 |1162 |719 |
|4-level |Land for industrial purposes |NA |NA |NA |
| |Land for business purposes |908 |1125 |690 |
| |Land for residence |579 |719 |450 |
Moreover, according to costs of building materials and labors without consideration of price of the land, constructing and installation costs of frame-structure house, brick and concrete house, brick and wood house are respectively RMB 800 Yuan, RMB 600 Yuan and RMB 400 Yuan at present in Taiyuan. Therefore, considering constructing and installation costs of land types and various buildings in this project, reasonable replacement prices of the frame-structure house, brick and concrete house, brick and wood house in the areas of this project should respectively be about RMB 1750 Yuan, RMB 1550 Yuan and RMB 1350 Yuan.
In order to work out relatively feasible compensation rates for the houses on rural collective-owned land, the personnel of the Resettlement Office go deep into Xiaozaogou Village, Yangjiyu Street, Xinghualing District and Xiaodongliu Village, Huifeng Street, Jiancaoping District with more affected houses on collectively-owned land, find residents newly building houses in recent years, collect various information on costs and expenditures of building construction, analyze the costs, and obtain the first-hand data concerning the costs of house construction on rural collectively-owned land in affected region. The analysis of these typical cases lay the solid foundation for working out compensation rates for the relocation of the houses on rural collectively-owned land.
By the four approaches above, the Resettlement Office know current real estate development in Taiyuan and market conditions clearly, which lays a firm foundation for establishing compensation rates of relocated houses of this project.
5.1.3 Basis of establishment of compensation rates of other kinds
Besides compensation rates of requisitioned lands and buildings, compensation rates of various attachments to the land, various specialized facilities, moving and transition costs of affected families and etc will be established by the Resettlement Office when they negotiate with displaced persons and combine with local market price and compensation rates of the similar projects. Taking telecommunication facilities as an example, according to affected situation from survey, department responsible for the facilities puts forward the compensation report concerning resuming facilities, and then the Resettlement Office employs specialized departments to check and evaluate the report and agrees with department responsible for the facilities in accordance with results of check and evaluation to determine compensation rates of this infrastructure.
5.2 Compensation Rates
By consultation with administrative department of the real estate, enterprises and institutions and displaced persons’ representatives in the affected areas, the Resettlement Office puts forward compensation rates as follows according to some opinions and suggestions from the real estate evaluation company consulted:
5.2.1 Compensation rates for land acquisition
According to relevant policies and the results of survey, on the basis of the suggestions of relevant departments, the Resettlement Office determines the compensation rates for the acquisition of collectively-owned land as follows: for the acquisition of collectively-owned land used for construction obtained with compensation, if there is no building on the land, the compensation will be provided at 75 Yuan/㎡; for the acquisition of collectively-owned cultivated land, the compensation will be provided at 50,000 Yuan/mu.
As for the acquisition of state-owned land used for construction and with buildings, its compensation will be included in the compensation price of the building, and land compensation will not be listed separately; for the acquisition of collectively-owned land used for construction obtained with compensation, if there is no building on the land, the compensation will be provided at 240 Yuan/㎡; for the acquisition of state-owned agricultural land, the compensation will be provided at the compensation price of collectively-owned land, 50,000 Yuan/mu.
5.2.2 Compensation rates for relocated houses
Through repeated survey and consultation, the Resettlement Office organizes Taiyuan Financial Assessment Center and Taiyuan Construction Budget and Settlement Auditing Center to carry out the evaluation of houses in the relocation scope and determine compensation rates. See Table 5-4 through Table 5-6 for compensation rates for various buildings.

6．Resettlement and Rehabilitation
6.1 Objective, Mode and Principle of the Resettlement and Rehabilitation
6.1.1 Objective of the resettlement and rehabilitation
According to the requirement of World Bank’s implementing policy about involuntary resettlement and relative laws and regulations of the country, the general aim of the World Bank financed Taiyuan Urban Transport Project is to make the living and production of displaced persons, enterprises and institutions rehabilitate as soon as possible and improve as much as possible. Specific aims are:
●Affected households will be compensated according to the standard of replacement cost and ensured that the floor space, structure and inhabited environment of their reconstructed houses at least reach the level before the relocation or have improvement;
●All manner of affected attachments to the ground will be compensated according to the replacement cost price;
●Resettled labor force will be resettled appropriately, and ensured that their income will retain and increase. No peasants will lose their job permanently because of the land acquisition;
●Public buildings and special facilities will be compensated according to the replacement price and rehabilitated according to primary standard;
●After the reconstruction of enterprises, their production scale, capacity and employment of staff will not be affected. No affected labor force will lose his job permanently because his work unit is affected;
●The public facilities and environment of affected communities will rehabilitate to the level before the relocation, and improve as much as possible.
6.1.2 Mode of the resettlement and rehabilitation
The resettlement and rehabilitation of the living of the affected population and the resettlement and rehabilitation of the production will proceed at the same time.
The resettlement and rehabilitation of living, mostly resettlement and reconstruction of houses and rehabilitation of living supporting facilities, mainly include:
●Residential houses of affected households.
●Residential buildings of production organizations.
●Facilities of domestic water supply, power supply and heating, etc.
The resettlement and rehabilitation of production, mostly the job arrangement of labor force and reconstruction and rehabilitation of production facilities, include:
●Agricultural resettlement of affected agricultural population.
●Rehabilitation of production facilities of production organizations. Production facilities of production organizations will be compensated according to replacement price, so the production scale and capacity will not diminish because of the project. Former staff will be reemployed by new-constructed organizations.
The resettlement and rehabilitation will carry on mainly by fund compensation, labor force resettlement, living and production conditions rehabilitation, etc.
6.1.3 Principle of the resettlement and rehabilitation
●The affected population participate in the overall process of the resettlement.
Issues like the compensation rate of houses and facilities, the selection of resettlement location, the time arrangement of relocation and rehabilitation, the transfer of fund and resettlement measures of labor force, etc. must be negotiated and agreed with the participation of displaced persons or delegates. The consultation with displaced persons shall carry on by delegate symposium, villager conference, etc.
●All classes of compensation will be wholly and directly paid to property owners, no unit or individual including committees of districts, townships (streets),villages (communities) of all levels is allowed to use the compensation for property on behalf of others.
●Compensation for houses, special facilities and attachments shall be calculated at replacement price. Compensation amount should not be detained, depreciated or tax-borne; the compensation property owners get shall be calculated at public compensation rate. All properties of former buildings belong to former owners, no organizations and individuals have the rights of domination and disposition. The calculating of compensation price should not be deducted with salvage value of materials of relocated parts and depreciation of former properties.
●Use land reasonably.
Because the project affects many structures, land use for reconstructions shall be planned well and land shall be used reasonably on the basis of consultation with affected population.
●Help and care for vulnerable groups.
In respects of the selection of resettlement location, the supply of information of resettlement house sources, endeavor for purchase opportunities for affordable housing, etc. priority should be given to families of vulnerable groups; In respects of the supply of employment opportunities created in the process of the implement of the project, distribution of service network in resettlement locations, etc. preference should be given to families of vulnerable groups.
6.2 Resettlement for Relocated Households
Well resettlement of relocated households is one of most important contents regarded by Project Resettlement Office as well as a subject repeatedly negotiated with displaced persons. Prior to Aug 2007, Project Resettlement Office worked out currency resettlement as the preliminary policy in principle. However, during consultation with displaced persons, the Project Resettlement Office found that market price of commercial residential buildings in Taiyuan had greatly fluctuated recently and over 95% of relocated households were apt to obtaining houses rather than currency. In particular, some relocated households with smaller living space said that they were unable to get basic housing condition after currency resettlement, so they strongly held that resettlement should be done through exchange of property rights.
To guarantee basic housing condition of affected families, the Project Resettlement Office, under the precondition of fully knowing displaced persons’ resettlement will, reported to the People’s Government of Taiyuan Municipality for approval of amendment of the relocation policy. It was changed from currency resettlement to two modes including exchange of property rights and currency resettlement for affected families to make a self choice. This significant amendment was warmly supported by affected families.
To accelerate successful construction of resettlement houses, the Project Resettlement Office, after the World Bank Project Delegation visiting Taiyuan in Sep 2007, authorized Taiyuan Urban Planning and Design Research Institute to proceed in planning of land use and site selection and design of construction plan of resettlement residential buildings. The design plan has been approved by the People’s Government of Taiyuan Municipality, the construction of resettlement houses will be developed step by step with the progress of the project so that the relocated families can move to their new houses successfully.
According to construction plan of resettlement houses, selection of new resettlement spots will adhere to three principles as below:
First, “to focus on the people”, try to choose a site with smaller impact of land requisition and relocation to construct resettlement houses, and resettle the land requisition and relocation generated by construction of resettlement spots completely in accordance with the resettlement policy for this project.
Second, “settlement in vicinity”, try to choose resettlement spots along North Mid Ring Road and Taihang Road for the convenience of relocated households’ study and work, and try to maintain their activity scope of daily life;
Third, “to improve citizens’ quality of life and environment”, completely change the dirty, disorderly and bad environment during construction of resettlement spots.
According to aforesaid principles, Taiyuan Urban Planning and Design Research Institute determines construction plan of five resettlement spots. It is estimated 11247 sets of resettlement houses will be offered. Besides meeting the resettlement requirement of this project, moving-back resettlement buildings can also be offered to other key projects to facilitate improvement of residents’ housing condition in Taiyuan. See Table 6-1 for construction of resettlement spots.
Table 6-1 Construction plan of resettlement spots of Taiyuan urban transport project
|No. |Name of resettlement spot |Area of land used |Volume ratio |Resettlement area |Number of households can be |

|5 |Wohu Mountain |17 |1．6 |264000 |2640 |
|Total |60 | |1124700 |11247 |
The construction plan of above resettlement spots has started. In May 2008, written proposal of location presented by Taiyuan Urban Planning and Design Research Institute was approved by Taiyuan Urban Planning Administration, and directions of resettlement spots were determined. However, detailed positions of resettlement spots are under final determination. Resettlement survey is unavailable now due to immature conditions. Therefore, the Project Resettlement Office decides to formulate Resettlement Policy Framework for land acquisition and relocation before formal evaluation of Taiyuan Urban Transport Project and to formulate Resettlement Action Plan when resettlement survey is available. The land acquisition and relocation policy for resettlement spots will be consistent with that for resettlement spots at North Mid Ring Road and Taihang Road.
According to its schedule, the Project Resettlement Office will determine the final construction plan for resettlement spots during Aug.-Sept. 2008, arrange house building in Oct. 2008 and provide new houses for relocation households who move back to live in at the end of 2009. At the same time, the construction of project will be implemented in several stages as much as possible. Construction will be commenced from the work section for which relocation is not necessary or a small number of households need to be relocated, so as to minimize the transition period of relocation households. The longest transition period will not exceed 24 months. All relocation households will be given a housing subsidy by 10 Yuan/㎡ per month.
In May 2008, the Project Resettlement Office learnt from the coordination office for reformation of villages in Taiyuan City that, according to the city’s development plan, 14 villages including Dadongliu, Xiliu, Xiaodongliu, Xiangtang, Xiaozaogou, Daochanggou, Ba’ergou, Can’ershu, Haojiagou, Haozhuang, Wangjiafeng, Dianpo, Longbao and Dongtaibao villages involved in this project and Xudong and Dongshe villages involved in related projects were all covered by the “Village in City” reform plan of Taiyuan City. And Dadongliu, Xiliu, Xiaodongliu, Xiangtang, Xiaozaogou, Daochanggou, Haojiagou, Dianpo and Longbao villages were listed in the 2008 “village in city” reform plan. Based on the consultations with villagers, the Project Resettlement Office has considered resettlement of relocation households and construction of resettlement spots in the construction plan of resettlement spots. And the above “villages in city” will also be reformed in combination with the construction of resettlement spots. The compensation rates of the World Bank financed project is higher than those of “the reformation of villages in city”, especially much more favorite policies are adopted for the vulnerable groups and owner of illegal buildings.
Meanwhile, since real estate market has developed to some extent in recent years, some relocation households have bought houses elsewhere. So monetary compensation and physical resettlement are alternatives for relocation households to choose. If they choose monetary compensation and buy houses themselves, they will be given funds at the compensation rates.
6.3 Rehabilitation of Peasants Affected by Land Acquisition
According to the survey, totally 93.74 mu of collective land is requisitioned for this project, in which 35.1 mu is from North Mid Ring Road, 29.44 mu from Taihang Road, 13.5 mu from Starting and Ending Stations of Yingxin Street, and 15.7 mu from Starting and Ending Stations of Beiyan. The above requisitioned land is orchards and vegetable greenhouses, respectively managed by 11 peasant households under contracts, among which 2 households are from Dadongliu Village in Jiancaoping District; 2 from Nangunian Village; 2 from Xiaozaogou Village in Xinghualing District; 1 from Longbao Village in Xiaodian District; 2 from Dianpo Village in Yingze District; and 2 from Yijing Village in Jinyuan District. These 11 households have 42 persons including 23 labors.
The survey also shows that the above requisitioned orchards and greenhouses are only a part of their land and other non-agricultural incomes are their main sources of incomes.
According to the survey among the above 11 households and resettlement methods of previous similar projects, the final resettlement methods are determined based on consultation with the villages they live in:
●The compensations for attachments to ground including young groups should be given to affected households. compensation for young crops is 1000yuan per mu.
●70% of land compensation fees(34300yuan per mu) will be directly given to affected households.
●The use of land compensation funds collectively managed by villages should be determined at villager representative meetings and should be used mainly for public utilities.
6.4 Rehabilitation of Affected Enterprises and Institutions
The World Bank Financed Taiyuan Urban Transport Project affects 112 enterprises and institutions, among which 55 are at North Mid Ring Road, 53 at Taihang Road, and 4 are affected by the project of public transport. The relocated parts of these enterprises and institutions include some production and business places, some enclosing walls or office buildings, or accommodations owned by units. Resettlement offices at all levels conducted investigations and learnt the desires of all units, consulted with them on the methods of resettlement and recovery, and preliminarily formed the relevant plan of resettlement and rehabilitation of enterprises and institutions.
6.4.1 Compensation and rehabilitation of enterprises whose production and business are affected
The production and business operations of 18 enterprises among the abovementioned 112 enterprises and institutions will be affected directly. According to the preliminary resettlement intentions agreed between resettlement offices and these enterprises, except one enterprise, the rest may change their production layouts at the original sites and continue their production and business operations. As the project office has notified the project alignment in advance, the enterprises may have enough time to conduct adjustment of production layouts so as to minimize the losses of operations. Besides compensations for affected substances at standard rates, professional evaluation agents will be employed to finally determine loss from suspension.

|Shanxi Luweibao Taiyuan Steel Refractory Materials Co., Ltd. is a large-scale enterprise and became a Chinese –Germany |
|joint venture in July 2006. The refractory materials produced by the company are mainly supplied to Taiyuan Iron and |
|Steel Group. The North Mid Ring passes across the enterprise, and two major workshops and one in-construction workshop |
|have to be relocated. The whole enterprise almost losses its basic production function completely. |
|In order to solve the resettlement problem of this enterprise, from December 2006 to May 2005, the Resettlement Office |
|has made efforts from different angles: |
|1) Probe into the possibility of line optimization with the design department together. Avoid the core part of the |
|enterprise as best as possible and minimize losses. |
|2) Negotiate with the enterprises on the compensation program and the methods for proper resettlement and rehabilitation |
|when the line arrangement has been determined. |
|3) Communicate and coordinate with the municipal government and relevant organizations, and try for preferential policy |
|for integral moving of the enterprise. |
|Through full consultation, in May 2008, the Resettlement Office and Shanxi Luweibao Taiyuan Steel Refractory Materials |
|Co., Ltd. achieved the following agreement on resettlement: |
|1) Integrally move the enterprise, and resettle it in Taiyuan Stainless Steel Ecological Industrial Park. The Stainless |
|Ecological Industrial Park is located in Jiancaoping District in Taiyuan City. The area of the park is 100 square |
|kilometers, and there are exclusive market zone, industrial processing zone, sales center, resource allocation center, |
|logistics and distribution center and corresponding technical development center and information center in the park. The |
|park borders upon National Highway 108 and Xinlan Road, is 3km away from the entry of Dayun Expressway, 5km away from |
|Binhe East Road and 2.5km away from material base, Taiyuan Iron and Steel Group, and has two railway sidings, which |
|provides convenient traffic for the park. The park is successfully opened on August 28, 2004. |
|2) For the mechanical equipment which may be used normally after moving, the Project Office will afford the expenses of |
|equipment dismounting and transportation; for the equipment which may not be used after moving, the Project Office will |
|provide compensation as per the original purchasing price of the equipment; |
|3) The determination of property and area of the house to be relocated should be subject to the ownership certificate |
|issued by the relevant administration; |
|4) The compensation for mechanical equipment should be subject to the determination of the professional evaluation |
|organization; |
|5) The Resettlement Office should actively communicate and coordination with the department related to enterprise moving,|
|providing convenience for the successful moving of the enterprise. |
|6) On the basis of consultation and evaluation, resettlement compensation for the enterprise is RMB 211,335,514.59 Yuan. |
|The enterprise will finish the moving within two years after the project commencement. |

6.4.3 Reconstruction of affected schools
Among all kinds of affected organizations, the Resettlement Office pays special attention to the resettlement of affected schools. According to field survey, 4 schools that will be affected by the project respectively are: West Xinghua Street Elementary School in Jinjixi Community, Wanbolin Sub-district Office, Wanbolin District; Xincun Elementary School (and dormitory) in Xincun Community, Xincun Sub-district Office, Xinghualing District; The Professional Trading Academy of Radio, Film and TV in Haozhuang Township, Yingze District and Wangjiafeng Elementary School (and kindergarten) in Haozhuang Township, Yingze District.
Among these 4 schools, as to Xincun Elementary School, only its staff quarters are affected, the teaching area is not affected; The Professional Trading Academy of Radio, Film and TV and West Xinghua Street Elementary School are both separated by the highway into two parts, however, their teaching buildings are not affected. Considering the safety issue of the students on their way to school after the project finishes, the Resettlement Office communicated with the principles of the two schools, they all hope the Office will consider add pedestrian over-crossing or underground passage for the convenience of students’ crossing the street. The Resettlement Office delivered this demand to the design organization, and will give consideration to it during the construction process of the project.
So, the only school that needs wholly removing along the line of this project is Wangjiafeng Elementary School (and kindergarten). The floor space of this school is 9120 ㎡, among which 1664 ㎡ are brick and concrete, 7456 ㎡ are cabanas. Because this project needs to remove most of the school buildings, considering the need of the safety of students and normal teaching environment, the Office decided to rebuild the school at another place. In December 2006, workers of the Project Resettlement Office, together with workers of The Resettlement Office of Haozhuang Township, and local office workers in charge of education negotiated on the reconstruction with village cadres and the masses. The agreed opinion is that the Resettlement Office will choose a proper site within the village and requisition land to reconstruct. The compensation for affected structures will be paid once for all 6 months before the relocation, and the Villagers’ Committee will organize the reconstruction. Before the new school is completed, the old school should not be dismantled to ensure normal teaching activities. The moving from the old school to the new school will proceed during vacation.

6.4.4 Resettlement and rehabilitation of affected shops
According to the resettlement survey, there are 114 shops to be relocated along the line. Besides, a smallware market with 180 shops had to be relocated, all the affected employees are 657. These shops may be divided into three groups:
Group 1: 82 shops are rebuilt by rural or community people in their houses, which are defined as residential houses on their licenses. Shops of this kind concentrate in Huifeng Community of Jiancaoping District and Haozhuang Village of Yingze District.
Group 2: 22 shops are temporary structures built by some enterprises for rent. Shops of this kind concentrate along Madaopo Street of Dongshan Coal Mine and Kaixuan Street of Daochanggou Village, and in the Haojiagou Smallware market.
Group 10 shops are sites of failed enterprises or idle sites for rent. Shops of this kind mainly concentrate in Jin’an Chemical Plant (Yangjiayu Office of Xinghualing District).
The resettlement measures for the 82 private shops are:
●For shops rebuilt by individuals or households from residential houses, besides compensation according to the compensation rate, their operating loss of 3 months will be compensated according to their duty-aid certificates.
●Some shop fronts will be built in resettlement plots, those whose shop had been dismantled will take precedence to lease them.
The resettlement measures for the 32 shops built by enterprises and institutions are:
●For new shop fronts and mercantile occupancy rebuilt by enterprises and institutions backwardly at nearest places after current shops are dismantled, on an equal footing, the former tenants have preferential tenant right.
●Moving cost, transition cost and compensation for fitments determined by evaluation belong to the tenant; the compensation for the construction belongs to the owner of property right.
●The operating losses caused by relocation of shops of enterprises and institutions shall be determined after the Resettlement Office negotiates with the displaced persons.
In order to properly resettle the shops in Yiwu Street and Baigou Street smallware market, several smallware markets has been newly built in Haojiagou Village, Haozhuang Township, Yingze District, such as Jinyang Smallware Market, Meiji Market, and so on. These markets are close to the existing smallware market and have convenient traffic. After the smallware market is relocated, the existing shop operators may move the new places for business according to the current leasing area and price. Their businesses will not be affected, and benefit from the improvement of traffic conditions after the construction of Taihang Road.

6.5 Rehabilitation of Professional Facilities
Affected professional facilities mainly mean power facilities and telecommunication facilities. As to these facilities, on basis of sufficient consultation with power and telecommunication organizations, the resettlement organization will compensate according to the replacement prices of these facilities. Rehabilitation and reconstruction of these facilities will complete before requisition to ensure the normal requirement for production and living of population along the line of the project.
6.6 Resettlement and Rehabilitation of Affected Vulnerable Groups
As for relocated families of vulnerable groups, resettlement offices at all levels and primary government will provide special help and care. Main measures are:
With respect to the vulnerable groups determined, the project office will provide the security measures as follows:
●According to the survey, if the family only has one dwelling house, the life is poor indeed, and the public has no objection after issuing public announcement, the dwelling house with building area not less than 50㎡ will be provided. If the building area of resettlement house is less than 50㎡, the price of structure difference and the expenses for exceeding resettlement area will not be settled.
●The resettlement office sets up the funds of RMB 2 million Yuan for helping vulnerable groups according to specific needs during the resettlement course. The funds will be used strictly conforming to public and transparent management articles. See Attachment 2 for use method of the funds for helping vulnerable groups.
●For area, type and location of resettlement house, the family of vulnerable group has priority in selection.
●Resettlement organizations at all levels are responsible for organization manpower to assist in the moving of the families of vulnerable groups.
