Overview of the Project
1.1 Background of the project
1. Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Wushan County is leading public health service system of three levels of county, township and village, engaging in medical treatment, rescue,training and guiding medical staff in three-gorge reservoir area. With economic growth, improvement of livelihood level and quality and deepening of reform of medical system, growth of the hospital cannot match with the local economic growth. In-patient department conditions are poor, facilities are not complete. Rooms and beds are insufficient; space for out-patient department, inpatient department and support rooms is only 2,570m². There are no planted area and leisure ground for patients. All these fail to meet the demand for traditional Chinese medicine and health care, restrict the improvement of local medical service and the growth of the hospital.
2. Construction of the project would upgrade the comprehensive power of Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Wushan, perfect the building of public health service system and play positive role in ensuring the health of the people in Wushan and adjacent areas.
1.2 Description of the project
3. Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital building in Jiangdong New Zone of Wushan County is the project scheduled in Phase Two of Chongqing Urban-Rural overall planned project using the loan from World Bank. The objective of the project is to expand the hospital, improve medical treatment environment, promote the growth of Chinese medicine and safeguard the health of the people. So, it is planned as a modern traditional Chinese medicine hospital of comprehensive treatment level. Construction period is five years from January, August 2012 to August 2017.
1.2.1The size of project
4. The proposed World Bank Loaned project is proposed to increase hospital beds of 200, mainly for construction out-patient department and in-patient department buildings, medical technical building, and civil engineering, decoration, electrical, water supply and drainage, heating and ventilation, fire control, central oxygen supply, negative pressure system, distant specialist diagnosis system, environment and planting and sewage treatment station of 450m3/d (including related equipment procurement and installation),the construction area is 27129.36m²(about 40mu).Remaining emergency treatment and administrative buildings (the land use is about 20mu) would be constructed using the fund from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Wushan County. Since all works would be performed simultaneously, the resettlement action plan will cover the total land use, i.e.60mu. At present, there is existing roads access to the proposed hospital with the width of 6-10m. Based on the plan of the development zone, those roads will be widen to 12-15m. According to the calculation, the roads widening will acquire about 5mu land, the impacts of land and related attachments(See Table 1-1) have been included in the total land impact of the project (seeTable 2-1, 2-2,2-3 and 2-5). Although the road will be constructed by Administrative Committee of Jiangdong New Zone, the hospital by Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital of Wushan, but the land acquisition of the road and the hospital will be conducted by the Land Reserve Center of Jiangdong New Zone the compensation policy, thus the compensation standard, funding sources and distribution channel of the land acquisition are same.The land taking for the road construction is treated as a part of this RAP.

These rates shall be complied with strictly for rural collective land acquired for all types of construction. For any new construction project, strict control shall be exercised upon land use pre-examination to ensure that land acquisition compensation fees are calculated according to the published uniform AAOV rates and location-based integrated land prices for land acquisition, and are included in the budgetary estimates in full. If the construction land is located in an area with the same AAOV or location-based integrated land price, the level compensation for land acquisition shall be largely consistent, so as to realize equal compensation for equal land.
47. All localities shall establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism for compensation rates for land acquisition, adjust compensation rates for land acquisition every 2 or 3 years depending on economic level and local per capita income growth, and improve the compensation level for land acquisition gradually.

4.5 Involuntary Resettlement Policy of the World Bank
89. In 1990, the World Bank had published its official requirements on the involuntary resettlement, which is the Guideline OD4.30: Involuntary Resettlement’. In December 2001, the World Bank announced the new guidelines, OP 4.12 and BP 4.12. The latter has been applied to all the projects after 1 January 2002. The overall objectives of these policies are:
➢ Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible. All viable project options should be explored.
➢ When involuntary resettlement inevitable, the resettlement activities should be regarded as part of the sustainable development plan and implemented as part of this plan. The sufficient resources should be provided so that the affected persons could benefit from the project. However, there are no such equivalent wordings in national or local laws and regulations in China. But the Article 50 in the P.R.C Land Administration Law (1998) stipulated that the governments at different levels should support the affected villages and farmers by land acquisition to develop the enterprises. This is the only development pattern proposed besides the basic compensation in Chinese relevant laws and regulations.
➢ The effective consultation and group discussion should be made with the affected persons and also the opportunities should be provided to them for participating the resettlement planning and implementation.
➢ The great efforts should be taken to improve the livelihood and living standards of the affected persons or at least resume the level before their resettlement or resume the level before the project is implemented. The higher living standards are preferred than the lower ones.
4.6 Compensation Principles of this Project
90. The compensation principles for this project are included as the following based on the comparison between P.R.C laws and regulations and the World Bank Policies.
➢ Measures must be taken to minimize the negative impact on the affected persons;
➢ The communities are consulted and the opinions are taken to practically improve the living standards and livelihood of the affected persons;
➢ The compensation and the rehabilitation measures have to ensure that the living standards of the affected persons could be improved or at least resumed to the level before land acquisition;
➢ The affected persons should be carefully consulted and the opportunities are provided to them to involve into the RAP planning and implementation;
➢ The property is compensated in line with the principle of replacement value;
➢ The construction should be in advance of the demolition and the compensation should be paid before land acquisition and house demolition. The implementation of land acquisition and the relevant properties should be proceeded after the affected persons are fully compensated including cash, providing the transition location (if necessary) and the resettlement subsidy;
➢ The identification of the eligible affected persons. The timeline for it is the date when the demolition notice is published. After this date, the affected persons are not allowed to build new houses, extend the existing ones and rebuild the houses and change the purposes of the houses and land uses. Neither could they lease/rent and buy/sell houses. Any persons who move into this affected areas after this date are not eligible for the compensation;
➢ The vulnerable group should be paid the special attention to and the special measures have to be taken to ensure that their livings could be improved or at least resumed to the level before land acquisition.
Compensation Rates for Land Acquisition & Relocation
91. Compensation rates for various impacts of this project are developed according to the provisions of above legal framework and combination with the actual situation in Wushan County. The time of relocation qualification is the release date of notice on land acquisition and demolition. After this date, the relocation households shall not newly build, expand and rebuild houses; shall not change uses of the housing and land; shall not perform lease, rental and sale of land and housing, and persons swarmed into the zone after this date shall not be provided with qualification of compensation of relocation households.
5.1 Compensation rate for Permanently Acquired Land
92. Compensation shall include land compensation, resettlement subsidy and young crops compensations according to Law on Land Administration of the People’s Republic of China, State Council document (GuoFa [2004] No. 28, Chongqing Municipal document (YuFuFa [2008] No. 45 and Wushan County Government Notice (WuShanFuFa [2008] No.39. Land compensation shall be calculated based on acquired land area irrespective of land type. The compensation rate is listed in Table 5.1.
Table5- 1 Compensation rate of Permanently Acquired Land
|Land Compensation (Yuan/mu) |Resettlement Compensation (Yuan/head)|Young Crop (Yuan/mu) |
|13000 |25000 |900 |
Note: As crops on affected land are grain crop, compensation rate shall be 900 Yuan/mu.
93. Longshui Village has 1,043 mu of cultivated land in 2010; total agricultural revenue is 1.205 million Yuan. That is, average output per mu is 1,155 Yuan. Land compensation is 13,000 Yuan per mu, 11.3 times the land output per mu. Cultivated land per capita in Village Groups 1 and 2 is 1.1 mu and 0.7 mu respectively, resettlement subsidy is 22,727 Yuan and 35,714 Yuan each, 20 and 31 times the average land output per mu. So, sum of land compensation and resettlement subsidy is over 30 times of the land output. The average output per mu of 1,155 Yuan, deducting the cost, the net anural income is about 700-800yuan/mu. Thus, the compensation rate could meet the requirement of the principle of the replacement cost.
5.2 Compensation Rate for Rural Houses

Rehabilitation plan of Production and Livelihood
6.1 Impact and Resettlement Plan of Permanently Acquired Collective Land
6.1.1 Assessment of Income Loss
96. The acquired cultivated land per capita is 0.54mu in Village Group 1 and 0.25 in Village Group 2. Average yearly output per mu is 1,155 Yuan. Income loss is 623.7 Yuan and 288.75 Yuan respectively. For income loss, see Table6-1.
Table6- 1 Estimation of Income Loss
|Towship/Town |Village |Village Group |Affected |Affected Population |
| | | |Household Number| |
97. If remaining cultivated land is less than 0.5 mu per capita, whole families could apply for conversion till remaining cultivated land is up to 0.5 mu per capita. In addition, house acquired and demolished families inside planned town area could apply for conversion. Thus, number of converted people may increase.
(2)Pension of Converted People
98. Affected people aged 16 and above shall participate in the basic pension insurance program for town enterprise employees on the basis of their willingness. Insurance premium of the people of different age varies and half of it would be paid by the government.
99. Majority of the households prefer that the aged people or those under age of 16 could be converted. The people of aged fewer than 16 could enjoy full resettlement subsidy at one time. After paying insurance premium, the people of retirement age could take pension (according to the standard in 2010, basic pension is 500 Yuan per month, people of age of 70 could take 50 Yuan more and people of age of 75 could take another 50 Yuan more) from the date when the resettlement is legally approved). So, the converted people could take pension of at least 6,000 Yuan every year, higher than income from agriculture.
6.1.4 Renewal Measures of Affected People
(1)Skill Training
100. Through survey of 105 people in 20 households, 15 households express those labors are willing to participate skill training, amounting to 75% of surveyed households. These labors they mentioned are mainly males under 45.
101. Designated department in the county would take charge of encouraging workforce to participate skill training, help them to seek job opportunities.
102. During implementation of the project, every year local government would organize skill training, encourage all villagers to participate. Main trainings are listed in Table 6-3.

(2)Employment Recommendation
103. Implementation of the project would create some employment opportunities for local people. After completion of the hospital, the hospital would employ affected farmers on priority as such service staff. After the hospital completed, 100 jobs of monthly wage of 1,000 Yuan would be created for farmers.
104. Wushan employment department (Human Resources and Social Security Bureau) would provide unemployment registration and recommend jobs free of charge. Healthy labors would be recommended to work in Shanghai, Xingjiang and Shanxi etc. They could earn 2,000 Yuan a month. So, income from non-agriculture is higher than from aquiculture.
(3) Micro-credit Support
105. Wushan Employment Service Department could provide micro-credit less than 50,000 Yuan to support to the farmers without land. Business initiating program could borrow loan of up to 80,000 Yuan. Loan support could help local farmers to start various businesses to improve their livelihood.
106. In addition, Wushan Women Federation could provide micro-credit of up to 80,000 Yuan without interest for business-initiating women of age of 20 to 55. For partnership business, loan would be up to 100,000 Yuan. Loan period is two years.
6.2 Resettlement Plan of Demolished Rural Houses
107. The resettlement measures include monetary resettlement and purchasing unified built houses at favorable price for converted people; and self-built houses for non-converted people. 18 out of 20 surveyed households will choose purchasing unified built houses at favorable price.
6.2.1 House Resettlement of Converted People
108. Majority of the converted people would purchase unified built houses at favorable price. The house is of brick and concrete structure and construction space is 30 m² per capita (household of under 3 members is counted as 3 member household; 4 members as 4 member household; 5 and above as 5 member household). The portion of unified built house area exceeding area of 30 m² per capita or greater than the demolished space shall be purchased at 900 Yuan per m². The Administrative Committee of Jiangdong New Zone will specially allocate three plots of land for building resettlement houses. The responsible agency is the Administrative Committee of Jiangdong New Zone. The plan is ongoing. Most of the houses consist of two bedrooms and one living room; some houses consist of three bedrooms and one living room or one bedroom and one living room. The surrounding facilities include school, supermarket and hospital. The land is proposed to be leveled in 2012, and the houses to be constructed in the end of 2012 or in the early of 2013 and finished in the end of 2013. An average member of affected households is approximately 5. So, each household could have unified built house of 5X30=150 m². Thus, each household will get a replacement of 120m² unified built houses without any additional cost. If the demolished house area is larger than the house area they buy at the preferential price, the household will get the additional compensation for those areas at the standard of 550/m²; Based on the estimation of local PIU, the rebuilt cost of a new house in rural area is about 530.79/m². Thus, the compensation standard meets the demand of the principle of the replacement cost.
109. For money resettlement, county state land department would sign the contract with demolished households and settle the amount at one time. The amount is calculated as follows: construction (900 Yuan/m²) minus compensation rate of demolished house times 30m² per capita. That is (900-500)X30 (demolished space is counted if it is smaller than resettlement house)=12,000 Yuan. Take a household of 5 members with demolished house space of 250m², house compensation is approximately 137,500 Yuan, plus money resettlement of 12,000 Yuan per capita. So, total compensation is 197,500 Yuan.
110. Land user shall pay transitional resettlement fee of 100 Yuan/person•month according to certified number of relocation population. In the project area, there are average 5 persons in one household; each household would averagely get 500 Yuan/month for temporary transition. In the nearby rural area, a rent for a rural house with 2-3 rooms is around RMB400. Thus, the transition fee could cover the transition cost. For converted people transitional resettlement fee would be issued till unified built houses are purchased at favorable price. For money resettlement, transitional resettlement fee for three months would be paid at one time. For non-converted people, transitional resettlement fee would be paid for eight months from the date when the demolished site is accepted.
6.2.2 House Resettlement of Non-converted People
111. After the houses have been demolished, non-converted people could apply for residence land to build houses by themselves. House compensation shall be as specified compensation rate and increased by 50%. Self-built houses shall not be located in planned town area. As majority of non-converted people choose self-built houses, the site of self-built houses will be taken by the economic development zone.
112. Construction cost of self-built house of 100m² is approximately 53,100 Yuan in Wushan rural area. Compensating for demolished house of 100 m² is 82,500 Yuan (construction cost is 825 Yuan/m² for brick and concrete structure), sufficient to build the house.
6.3Resettlement Plan of Enterprises and Organizations
113. Three enterprises would be affected. The project owner and the investigation team have already fully negotiated with the managers of the enterprises. The hospital construction will receive support from them.
114. Zaoyang refueling station is a state enterprise under Petro China Chongqing Sales Company and the annual turnover is 14 million Yuan. It would be compensated using money as the location is to be planned by China National Petroleum Corporation. Because all of the property of existing in gas station cannot move and will be scrapped, the replacement prices of all these assets (including oil tank, explosion-proof machine etc. equipment) is about 8 million Yuan(which was estimated by the manager). It will be compensated according to its replacement price during the implementation of the resettlement. The employees will work at the new station.
115. The site of plastic processing plant is rented; the rent is 6,000 Yuan a year. Its annual profit is 250,000 Yuan. Most of the processing equipment (such as diesel, water pump, dryer, etc.) can be directly transferred, only a small proportion equipment and facilities (such as boiler, tank, etc.) may be discarded as useless, the replacement price of these facilities to be discarded is about 200,000 Yuan, estimated by the manager of the plant. It will be compensated in accordance with the replacement price during the resettlement implementation and will be reconstructed in other area. The plant will be moved to other Areas and the production be recovered.
116. Changhong cooking stove plant is operating in the 4-storey house of the boss. The annual turnover is 1.2 million Yuan. Part of the processing equipment can be directly transferred, another part of the equipment and facilities may be discarded, and the replacement price of these facilities to be discarded is about 250,000 Yuan, estimated by the manager of the plant. It will be compensated in accordance with the replacement cost during the resettlement implementation, and will be reconstructed in other area. The director of the factory said, according to the current resettlement way, he is willing to move to other Areas to enterprise production.
117. Assets assessment department would be employed to carry out assessment on three enterprises. They would be relocated and rebuilt through discussions on compensation rate and renewal measures. Two private enterprises would be fully compensated and rebuilt according to replacement principle. Temporary employees would be informed two months in advance; fixed employees would be continuously employed. Their income would be affected as minimum as possible.

6.4 Resettlement Plan of Affected Business Shops
118. Affected three business shops are operating on the first floor of their own rural houses and the equipment will be properly compensated. The shops and facilities are simple. Facilities compensation for each shop is around 1,000 Yuan. Specific amount will be determined through consultation based on replacement principle. The owners hope that they would resume operation after relocation. The project owner expressed that some shop site information could be supplied.
5 Rehabilitation Plan of Affected Vulnerable groups
119. Land acquisition would affect three vulnerable persons. One of them would be converted from agriculture. He is 60 years old, and could take pension of not less than 500 Yuan per month, higher than his income from agriculture. Income of other two households is from engaging in industrial or engineering work. They are not too much affected by land acquisition and will not convert to urban residents. They will choose rebuilding houses. Project owner would provide some jobs, such as cleaning in the hospital and civil affairs department could provide some subsidy about 1000yuan/year for each house. In the process of moving and rebuilding new houses, the implementation unit will provide them enough help. After their houses are demolished, residence site would be supplied. Compensation is sufficient to build the new houses.
6.6Restoration of Affected Ground Attachments
120. The ground attachments affected by this project mainly include the young crops, scattered planted trees, ground structures and some professional infrastructures.
121. For the affected young crops, the project owner will pay young crop compensation fees based on unified standard stipulated in Wushan FuFa [2008] No.39 document (cash crops RMB900/mu)); compensation will also be made to the ground structures according to Wushan FuFa [2008] No.39 document; other specialized infrastructures may be transferred or rebuilt according to the original size and standard or restoring the original functions; If it is not relocated or restored, compensation shall be made in accordance with established standards of compensation.
Public Participation and Consultation
122. According to the policies and regulations of the world bank, the state and Chongqing Municipality on LA, HD and resettlement, it is very necessary to conduct public participation at the preparation and implementation stages in order to protect the lawful rights and interests of the DPs and the affected entities, reduce grievances and disputes, and realize the resettlement objectives properly by developing sound policies and implementation rules on displacement and resettlement, preparing an effective RAP, and organizing implementation properly.
7.1 Means and measures of public participation
7.1.1 Means of public consultation
123. Before the survey, terms of reference were prepared to specify the scope, methods and requirements of survey, listen to comments of local governments, and had local governments assign representatives to the survey Village Group. During the general survey, township, village and group heads, and DP representative were invited to participate, the necessity, benefits and impacts of the Project, principles for compensation and resettlement progress were communicated to them, and the survey Village Group discussed possible resettlement sites with them. At the RAP preparation stage, the resettlement planning staff discussed with Area and township leaders, listened to their comments, requirements and issues, and selected resettlement sites. During the field survey, local residents and staff of departments concerned were involved in site selection. These consultation activities will be meaningful for the successful implementation of the RAP.
124. On the basis of effectiveness and feasibility, public participation activities were conducted in the following manners:
(1) FGD (focus group discussion)
125. FGDs covering all affected population were organized at the village groups, including ordinary residents affected by LA and HD, old people, women and disabled persons.
(2) Structured questionnaire survey
126. At the preparation and design stages of the Project, a structured questionnaire was designed to fully understand the expected resettlement modes of the affected population, with focus on rural reconstruction and resettlement programs. In public consultation activities conducted at the end of October 2011, all the 113 rural DHs were included in the questionnaire survey.
(3) Discussion meeting and personal interview
127. Depending on public participation activity, discussion meetings and personal interviews were organized to collect relevant information.
7.1.2 Participation and consultation measures
128. Public participation and consultation activities were conducted in the form of discussion meeting and sampling willingness survey to explain the purpose, scope and importance of the Project, and discuss resettlement programs with DP representatives. Through the survey, public opinions will be well considered, and incorporated into house reconstruction and production resettlement programs as where possible without breach of the overall plan so as to satisfy the DPs.
129. At the resettlement implementation stage, the above two forms will be still used to collect resettlement information, investigate expectations of the DPs, and further improve resettlement programs. In addition, the DPs may reflect grievances, comments and suggestions to village committees, resettlement agencies and M&E agencies, which will be handled according to the established procedures.
130. In order that the APs and the affected local governments are fully aware of the RAP, and the compensation and resettlement programs under the Project, the state laws and regulations on resettlement, and the Bank’s policy on involuntary resettlement through public participation (in the form of discussion meeting, etc.) or local news media (e.g., TV) to the DPs from the beginning of the Project to the whole process of resettlement implementation, so that the DPs know the compensation calculation method, compensation measures of physical indicators, resettlement measures, the disbursement and use of resettlement funds, and the rights and preferential policies to which they are entitled. Resettlement information will also be disclosed to the residents of the resettlement communities, so that they know information on LA, land compensation rates and fund uses. This will increase the transparency of the resettlement work, win the support of the DPs for resettlement and ensure the successful completion of resettlement.
7.2 Public participation activities at the preparation stage
131. At the RAP preparation stage, extensive public participation and consultation activities was conducted. Through provide consultation with stakeholders to obtain stakeholders’ opinions on land acquisition, it will provide basic for designing and implementation. Such activities of the project had been done, see Table 7-1:
(1) community meeting: before starting such survey, the leader of the survey Village Group brief the background information of the project to meeting participants, including project contents, project necessity, potential impacts, compensation policies and resettlement scheme.

7.3 Public participation plan at the implementation stage
7.3.1 Participation in resettlement for HD
1) Compensation rates for houses
134. House compensation rates concern the DHs’ immediate interests. Before HD, the resettlement agencies will consult with the DHs about house compensation rates and enter into agreements with them. The consultation results will be posted after the execution of agreements for public supervision.
2) Resettlement site and mode for HD
135. At the RAP preparation stage, the departments concerned conducted a survey on resettlement sites and modes. According to the results, most DPs prefer the mode of nearby central resettlement. The resettlement agencies and the local governments will provide assistance at all stages of resettlement.
7.3.2Participation in the management of land compensation fees
136. Land compensation fees and compensation fees for other collective assets to be retained by the village as stipulated shall be owned by the village collective, and shall not be withheld or embezzled by any organization or individual. Compensation fees shall be used by the village collective for dedicated purposes in a unified manner.Fund uses must be discussed and adopted at village meetings, and be subject to supervision by villager representatives.
7.3.3 Participation in project construction
137. Project construction will affect different project areas more or less. In order to ensure that the APs benefit from the Project, public participation in project construction is highly encouraged, and convenience in materials and labor use will be provided.
7.4 Women’s participation
138. The implementing agencies and the local governments have attached special importance to the role of women in resettlement implementation, and cared about their personal and household needs from the beginning of the Project.
139. In the project areas, women enjoy the same rights and status as men, and play a crucial role in economic activities and housework, especially in rural areas, where most women stay at home. Except family responsibility, women play a crucial role in farming and nonagricultural operations. Therefore, in the project areas, women even show greater enthusiasm about the Project than men. They not only participate actively in all stages of resettlement, but also play an outstanding role in the consultation about resettlement sites and modes.
140. During the general survey, women representatives were invited to the survey Village Group to ensure communication with the affected women. At the small-scale discussion meetings of all villages, over 40% of attendees were women. They not only showed great support for the Project, but were also concerned about the accuracy of DMS results, the rationality of compensation rates, and if compensation fees could be available timely. At the resettlement planning stage, the design agency invited women representatives to discuss the project design, and listened to their comments, requirements and issues about production resettlement, relocation and resettlement housing construction. These consultation activities have positive significance in addressing women’s worries about livelihoods and traditional production patterns, and ensuring that women benefit equally from the Project.
141. Priority will be given to women during resettlement and house demolition (HD), especially in livelihood restoration and project construction activities, to provide them with more job opportunities.
Grievance redress procedure
142. During LA, HD and resettlement, the following measures shall be taken to reduce the DPs’ grievances and appeals: 1) The implementing agencies and the local governments will give extensive publicity to the LA, HD and resettlement policies in such forms as meeting, discussion and door-to-door survey so that the APs can understand the LA, HD and resettlement policies and principles, and compensation rates; 2) Disclose information on LA and HD losses, resettlement agreements, compensation fee disbursement, the construction progress of resettlement housing, and the resettlement agencies through mass media and bulletin boards to accept public supervision; 3) Strengthen communication and consultation with the APs. The implementing agencies and the local governments will listen to the DPs’ comments and requirements carefully, conduct honest communication and consultation with them, help them solve difficulties and problems encountered during resettlement, and meet their reasonable requirements where possible.
143. During preparation and implementation of the RAP, consistent attention will be paid to the participation of the APs and the affected entities, and an appeal mechanism established. If any AP is dissatisfied with any compensation arrangement or thinks that he/she is treated unfairly or unreasonably during resettlement, he/she may seek a solution through the appropriate procedure.
144. Since the resettlement work is conducted with the participation of APs, no substantial dispute will arise. However, in order to ensure that APs have a channel to file an appeal on any issue concerning land acquisition and resettlement, a four-stage grievance redress mechanism has been established during the preparation and implementation the RAP:
Phase 1: When affected persons dissatisfied with the land acquisition compensation plan, they can raise the oral or written appeals to the village committees or town governments. Such organizations have to take the written recording and provide the solutions within 2 weeks.
Phase 2: When affected persons still dissatisfied with the solutions in Phase 1, they could raise appeals to the Resettlement implementing agency, land acquisition office of Jiangdong New Zone, which have to provide the solutions within 2 weeks.
Phase 3: In case the affected persons are unsatisfied with the solutions in Phase 2, they could raise the appeals to the relative administrative Organization for administrative arbitration.
Phase 4: When affected persons dissatisfied with unsatisfied with the solutions by the administrative arbitration in Phase 3, in accordance with the stipulations of the Administrative Procedural Law, they could appeal to the civil courts upon receipts of the solutions.
145. The DPs may file an appeal about any aspect of resettlement, including compensation rates, etc. The above appeal channel will be notified to the DPs at a meeting or otherwise, so that the DPs are fully aware of their right of appeal. Mass media will be utilized for publicity, and opinions and advice about resettlement will be compiled into messages for study and disposition by the resettlement agencies. All agencies will accept grievances and appeals from the APs for free, and costs so reasonably incurred will be disbursed from contingency costs.
146. The relevant staffs that are responsible for the resettlement are listed in the Table 8-1.
