Project Basic Information of the Project Background of the Project Gansu Province is located at the junction of the Loess Plateau, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Inner Mongolia Plateau, and the junction of the hinterland river dry region, the Qinghai-Tibet high and cold region, and the eastern monsoon region. The province governs 14 cities/prefectures, 86 counties/districts and 1,191 townships. Gansu is one of the underdeveloped hinterland provinces in northwestern China, and is significantly backward in urbanization. At the end of 2009, Gansu’s urbanization rate was 32.65%, lower than the national average of 46.6% by nearly 14 percentage points, ranking last among the 5 provinces (regions) in northwestern China; in the past 5 years, Gansu’s urbanization rate grew by 0.33% per annum on average, lower than the national average of 0.54%. The low urbanization level has affected the overall impetus to Gansu’s socioeconomic development, especially socioeconomic development in rural areas, seriously. The small size, small population, weak industry driving capacity and weak service functionality of small towns have become bottlenecks on Gansu’s urbanization. In order to improve Gansu’s urbanization level, Gansu has applied for a loan with the World Bank for the construction of the small town demonstration project. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the resources, geographic conditions, economic level, industry trends, dominant industries, key restraints and ecological impacts of the project locations, a preliminary study and comparison of investment opportunities has been conducted on the candidate small towns. Through careful selection and recommendation by municipal and county (district) authorities, the list of project towns has been determined, including 12 townships in total. The World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project (hereinafter referred to as the “Project�) aims to promote the creation and development of dominant and pillar industries, and improve the infrastructure, economic structure and employment environment of the demonstration towns, expand their employment capacity, and increase the income level of local residents, thereby driving fast yet steady regional socioeconomic growth, and social harmony. The Gansu Provincial Development and Reform Commission approved the establishment of the Leading Group and the Management Office of the Project on September 10, 2008, and began to prepare for the Project. Composition of the Project and overview of resettlement impacts The total investment in the Project 560.288million yuan, including a World Bank loan of US$50 million (equivalent to 320.00 million yuan), accounting for 57.11% of the total investment, and domestic counterpart funds of240.288 million yuan, accounting for 42.89% of the total investment. The Project involves road construction, farmland irrigation, bazaar construction, industry development and technical training, and covers 12 towns in the 7 cities of Baiyin, Tianshui, Dingxi, Pingliang, Qingyang, Zhangye and Jiuquan, namely (1) Dongwan Town, Jingyuan County, Baiyin City; (2) Hongshui Town, Jingtai County; (3) Ganquan Town, Maiji District, Tianshui City; (4) Zaojiao Town, Qinzhou District, Tianshui City; (5) Meichuan Town, Minxian County, Dingxi City; (6) Wenfeng Town, Longxi County, Dingxi City; (7) Shenzi Town, Lingtai County, Pingliang City; (8) Dongzhi Town, Xifeng District, Qingyang City; (9) Dangzhai Town, Ganzhou District, 1 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project Zhangye City; (10) Hongwansi Town, Sunan County, Zhangye City; (11) Huahai Town, Yumen City, Jiuquan Municipality; and (12) Qili Town, Dunhuang City, Jiuquan Municipality.

Afterwards, the Management Office of the Project (hereinafter referred to as the “Provincial PMO�) appointed the design agency to prepare pre-feasibility study reports for the subprojects, and have submitted them to the Gansu Provincial Development and Reform Commission, and the World Bank for review successively since April 2011. The Provincial PMO has appointed the design agency to prepare feasibility study reports for the subprojects since June. In March 2011, the preparation of the RAP, Environmental Impact Assessment Report, and Environmental Management Plan of the Project was started. Thanks to the careful planning of the Provincial PMO and the joint efforts of the subproject owners, project preparation has progressed successfully. As appointed by the Provincial PMO, the National Research Center for Resettlement at Hohai University has participated in the whole process of preparation of the RAP as the consulting agency. The RAP preparation task force has conducted a socioeconomic survey within the project areas since March 2011, and conducted extensive public consultation with affected persons. This RAP was completed in July 2011 and submitted to the World Bank for review. Measures to reduce resettlement At the project planning and design stage, the design agency and the project owner took the following effective measures to reduce the local socioeconomic impacts of the Project: At the project planning stage, the local socioeconomic impacts of the Project should be regarded as key factors for option optimization and comparison as much as possible; Design road widths have varied with existing boundary line widths to minimize land acquisition and property demolition, and the socioeconomic and livelihood impacts of the Project. Arable land occupation has been minimized through design optimization. At the RAP preparation and implementation stages, when land acquisition and property demolition is unavoidable, the following measures will be taken to reduce the local impacts of project implementation: Strengthen the collection of basic information, make an in-depth analysis of the local present socioeconomic situation and future development, and develop a feasible RAP based on the local situation to ensure that those affected by the Project do not suffer losses due to the Project. Encourage public participation actively and be open to public supervision. Strengthen internal and external monitoring, establish an efficient and unobstructed feedback mechanism and channel, and minimize the information processing period, thereby ensuring that all issues arising from project implementation are addressed timely. 10 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project Identification of related projects A related project refers to a project that is directly associated with the Project in function or benefit, namely an extended project constructed using funds other than World Bank lending within the range of the Project during the preparation and implementation of the Project. During project design, the project owner attached great importance to the identification of related projects. The Provincial PMO, the subproject owners and the design agency conducted a correlation analysis of all components. Based on the analysis, the Project has two related projects: 1. Shazhou Ancient Town Reconstruction Project in Qili Town, Dunhuang City The road construction component in the Qili Town subproject is located in the site of the Shazhou Ancient Town Reconstruction Project, and functionally associated with the latter, and will be implemented largely in step with the latter, so this project should be regarded as a related project for unified consideration. Compensation for land acquisition and other resettlement activities have been started for this related project. See Appendix 1 for its Due Diligence Report on Resettlement. 2. Central Jade Processing Trade Zone Project in Hongwansi Town, Sunan County The road and infrastructure construction component of the jade processing zone in the Hongwansi Town subproject is located in the site of the Central Jade Processing Trade Zone Project, and functionally associated with the latter, and will be implemented largely in step with the latter, so this project should be regarded as a related project for unified consideration. Compensation for land acquisition and other resettlement activities have been started for this related project. See Appendix 2 for its Due Diligence Report on Resettlement. 11 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project Impacts of the Project Project impact survey According to the requirement on the Terms of Reference for the Preparation of the RAP, the project owner together with the land and resources bureau, residential properties demolition management department and relevant organizations, conducted 100 percent detailed survey on physical quantities such as the land acquisition, temporary land occupation, demolition of residential properties and demolition of non-residential properties within the areas affected by the Project from February to March 2011 and meanwhile, the working group of preparation of the RAP conducted a survey on the social and economic conditions of the village, street, and households affected by the Project.

Properties of those adversely affected 4 will be compensated for at replacement cost 5, and assistance will be offered so that they have sufficient opportunities to restore or exceed their former standard of living. The key principles are as follows: Measures should be taken to minimize negative impacts on displaced persons; Compensation and resettlement programs are able to improve displaced persons’ standard of living or at least restore it to the pre-project level; 4 “Affected persons� refer to the group of persons affected in any of the following ways: (1) their standard of living is adversely affected; (2) their houses, land (including housing land, farmland and grassland), and other fixed and non-fixed assets are adversely affectedly, or their land is occupied temporarily or permanently; (3) they have the right to use, either temporarily or permanently, productive resources that are adversely affected; or (4) their business, occupations, and working or living areas are adversely affected. 5 “Replacement cost� is defined as follows: For agricultural land, it is the pre-project or pre-displacement, whichever is higher, market value of land of equal productive potential or use located in the vicinity of the affected land, plus the cost of preparing the land to levels similar to those of the affected land, plus the cost of any registration and transfer taxes. For land in urban areas, it is the pre-displacement market value of land of equal size and use, with similar or improved public infrastructure facilities and services and located in the vicinity of the affected land, plus the cost of any registration and transfer taxes. For houses and other structures, it is the market cost of the materials to build a replacement structure with an area and quality similar to or better than those of the affected structure, or to repair a partially affected structure, plus the cost of transporting building materials to the construction site, plus the cost of any labor and contractors’ fees, plus the cost of any registration and transfer taxes. In determining the replacement cost, depreciation of the asset and the value of salvage materials are not taken into account, nor is the value of benefits to be derived from the project deducted from the valuation of an affected asset. Where domestic law does not meet the standard of compensation at full replacement cost, compensation under domestic law is supplemented by additional measures so as to meet the replacement cost standard. Such additional assistance is distinct from resettlement measures to be provided under other clauses in OP 4.12, para. 6. 44 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project Displaced persons should be meaningfully consulted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs; All affected properties will be compensated for at full replacement cost; Adherence to the principle of resettlement before demolition: Before land acquisition and property demolition, displaced persons will receive full compensation for their losses, i.e., land and relevant properties will be acquired only if compensation has been paid or a resettlement site and a moving subsidy have been provided; The borrower shall raise compensation fees for resettlement, including contingency costs; Determination of eligibility of displaced persons: The deadline for the determination of eligibility of displaced persons is the date of publication of the announcement of land acquisition and property demolition in the Project. After this date, the displaced persons shall not build, rebuild or expand their properties; shall not change the uses of their properties and land; shall not lease their land, lease, sell or purchase their properties; and any person that moves in after this date shall not qualify as a displaced person; Property compensation shall be based on appraised value; if the appraised value of a property is lower than the rate specified in the RAP, the latter shall prevail.

As 1.8 mu of land acquisition of 5 households in Zaojiao Town, Tianshui City has a low land loss of 5%1, the effect is insignificant and the ARAP is prepared. Thus, the effect on 11 villages affected by land acquisition in 4 towns (Huahai Town, Dangzhai Town, Wenfeng Town and Dongzhi Town) is mainly analyzed in the overall report 510 households with 2,194 persons in 11 villages of 4 towns are affected to a different degree because of 563.344 mu (excluding Zaojiao Town, Tianshui City) arable/garden land acquisition. Specific analysis on the effect of arable/garden land acquisition will be carried out to identify the effect degree on the livelihood of rural households so as to determine different resettlement programs 1. Analysis on land resources loss According to social and economic investigation, arable land of affected villages before and after land acquisition is compared and analyzed.The land loss rate of all villages affected is below 10%. The land loss rate of Yujiadian Village and Huangshuiqiao Village is the highest, 6.71% and 5.91% respectively. See Table 6-1 for details of analysis on villages affected by land acquisition of the Project. For 510 households affected by land acquisition, the land acquisition effect rate of 112 households is below 10%, accounting for 21.96%; the land acquisition effect rate of 122 households is below 11%-20%, accounting for 23.92%; the land loss rate of 80 households is 21%-30%, accounting for 15.69%; the land loss rate of 55 households is 31%-40%, accounting for 10.78%; the land loss rate of 26 households is 41%-50%, accounting for 5.10%; the land loss rate of 33 households is 51%-60%, accounting for 6.47%;3 the land loss rate of 38 households is 61%-80%, accounting for 7.45%; the land loss rate of 44 households is above 80%, accounting for 8.63%. More than 80% is caused by Wenfeng Town subproject for the highest land loss rate of households affected by land acquisition. It involves 2 households with 12 persons in Santai Village, 28 households with 132 persons in Yujiadian Village, 2 households with 8 persons in Dongpu Village and 12 households with 45 persons in Yingchunbao Village. For those household suffering from serious land loss, they will be given “Prior Treatment� and key focus in the production resettlement. These displaced persons will be given priority rights in terms of employment training and endowment insurance. See Table 6-2 for detailed analysis on households affected by land acquisition. 1 Refer to the ARAP of Zaojiao Town, Tianshui City for details. 59 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project Table 6-1 Summary of acquired arable and garden land Before land acquisition Land acquisition effect Land acquisition effect rate Subp Village Group Per Arable land Land Total Total Arable Affected Affected Househol Populatio roject capita Arable per capita acquisitio househol populatio land household population d ratio n ratio arable land (mu) after land n rate ds n (mu) s (person) (%) (%) land acquistion (%) Huangsh (mu) Team Huah uiqiao 130 440 2031 4.62 120 34 129 4.34 26.92% 29.32% 5.91% 2 ai Village Town Nanqu Team 98 341 1028 3.01 28.8 7 28 2.93 7.14% 8.21% 2.80% Village 3 Beimen Dong Dong Village 60 248 593 2.39 7.5 4 12 2.36 6.67% 4.84% 1.26% men zhi Town Dongzhi Nanm 79 312 495 1.59 11.5 2 9 1.55 2.53% 2.88% 2.32% Village en Com mune 50 173 450 2.6 11.72 5 21 2.53 10.00% 12.14% 2.60% Wangjia 3 bao Dang Village Com zhai mune 42 152 384 2.53 9.49 5 25 2.46 11.90% 16.45% 2.47% Town 5 Com Huajiawa mune 65 258 454 1.76 4.9 4 15 1.74 6.15% 5.81% 1.08% Village 3 Wenf Huoyan eng / 698 3162 5616 1.78 12.27 21 104 1.77 3.01% 3.29% 0.22% Village Town Santai / 780 3335 4023 1.21 34.14 30 137 1.20 3.85% 4.11% 0.85% Village Yujiadian / 782 3263 2438 0.75 163.478 166 730 0.70 21.23% 22.37% 6.71% Village Dongpu / 1056 4456 3109 0.7 35.61 58 253 0.69 5.49% 5.68% 1.15% Village 60 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project Yingchu nbao / 785 3149 3062 0.97 123.936 174 731 0.93 22.17% 23.21% 4.05% Village Total 4625 19289 23683 1.23 563.344 510 2194 1.20 11.03% 11.37% 2.38% 61 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project Table 6-2 Analysis of land loss rate of households affected by land acquisition Land loss rate Total Subite Below 10% 11%-20% 21%-30% 31%-40% 41%-50% 51%-60% 61%-80% Above 81% Village team m Hous Hous Hous Hous Hous Hous Hous Hous Hous Popu popu Popu Popu Popu Popu Popu Popu Popul ehold ehold ehold ehold ehol ehol ehol ehol ehol latio lation lation lation lation lation lation lation ation s s s s ds ds ds ds ds n Huangs Com huiqiao mune 5 21 6 30 6 25 7 25 4 17 5 10 1 1 / / 34 129 Huahai Village 2 Town Com Nanqu mune 1 3 1 7 2 11 2 5 1 2 / / 7 28 Village 3 Beimen Dong / / 2 7 1 4 1 1 / / / / / / / / 4 12 Dongzh Village men i Town Dongzh Nanm / / / / / / / / 1 4 1 5 / / / / 2 9 i Village en Com mune / / 4 17 1 4 / / / / / / / / / / 5 21 Wangji 3 abao Dangzh Village Com ai mune / / 5 25 / / / / / / / / / / / / 5 25 Town 5 Huajia Com wa mune 2 7 2 8 / / / / / / / / / / / / 4 15 Village 3 Wenfen Huoyan g Town Village / 11 56 6 30 4 18 / / / / / / / / / / 21 104 Santai / 9 43 10 41 6 31 1 4 / / 1 3 1 3 2 12 30 137 Village Yujiadi an / 15 74 32 133 27 113 21 88 12 56 15 59 16 75 28 132 166 730 Village 62 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project Land loss rate Total Subite Below 10% 11%-20% 21%-30% 31%-40% 41%-50% 51%-60% 61%-80% Above 81% Village team m Hous Hous Hous Hous Hous Hous Hous Hous Hous Popu popu Popu Popu Popu Popu Popu Popu Popul ehold ehold ehold ehold ehol ehol ehol ehol ehol latio lation lation lation lation lation lation lation ation s s s s ds ds ds ds ds n Dongpu / 25 106 10 42 9 50 6 29 2 6 0 0 4 12 2 8 58 253 Village Yingch unbao / 45 200 44 180 25 105 17 66 7 32 9 36 15 67 12 45 174 731 Village Total 112 507 122 516 80 357 55 224 26 115 33 118 38 160 44 197 510 2194 Percentage of 21.96 23.92 15.69 10.78 5.10 6.47 7.45 8.63 100 households (%) 63 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project 2. Analysis on agricultural income loss According to the prediction and calculation of annual income loss of displaced persons affected by land acquisition of the Project, the loss per household affected by land acquisition is between 1,051.71 yuan (Huoyan Village) and 4,805.2 yuan (Wangjiabao Village Commune 3Commune 3 of Wangjiabao Village). The 211 households have loss per household of below 1,000 yuan, accounting for 41.37% of total affected households; 151 households have loss per household of 1,000 -2,000 yuan, accounting for 29.61%, 110 households have loss per household of 2000- 4,000 yuan, accounting for 21.57%; 27 households have loss per household of 4000- 6,000 yuan, accounting for 5.29%;11 households have loss per household of 6,000 yuan and above, accounting for 2.16%.Based on overall income loss, agricultural income loss of 71.41% of households affected by land acquisition is below 2,000 yuan. See Table 6-3 for details of impact of property demolition project on income. 64 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project Table 6-3 Analysis of agricultural income losses of households affected by land acquisition Agricultural income loss (L) Subtotal L<1000 1000≤L<2000 2000≤L<4000 4000≤L<6000 Above 6000 of affected Loss per Loss per Subproje Village Group househo househol capita ct Househo Percenta Househo Percenta Househo Percenta Househo Percenta Househo Percenta lds d (yuan) (yuan) lds ge (%) lds ge (%) lds ge (%) lds ge (%) lds ge (%) (househ olds) Huangsh Commu uiqiao 5 14.71% 5 14.71% 14 47.06% 9 26.47% 1 2.94% 34 3257.14 883.72 Huahai Village ne 2 Town Nanqu Commu / 1 14.29% 2 28.57% 4 57.14% / / 7 3908.57 977.14 Village ne 3 Beimen Dongme 1 16.67% / / 3 50.00% / / / / 4 1875 625 Dongzhi Village n Town Dongzhi SoNanm / / / / 1 16.66% / / 1 16.67% 2 5750 1277.78 Village en Commu / / / / 4 80.00% 1 20.00% / / 5 4805.2 1144.1 Wangjiab ne 3 Dangzha ao Village Commu / / / / 5 100.00% / / / / 5 3758.04 751.61 i Town ne 5 Huajiawa Commu / / 3 75.00% 1 25.00% / / / / 4 2450 653.33 Village ne 3 Wenfeng Huoyan / 11 52.38% 8 38.10% 2 9.52% 0 0.00% 0 0.00% 21 1051.71 212.37 Town Village Santai / 15 50.00% 7 23.33% 4 13.33% 1 3.33% 3 10.00% 30 2048.4 448.55 Village Yujiadian / 60 36.14% 56 33.73% 37 22.29% 8 4.82% 5 3.01% 166 1772.65 403.1 Village 65 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project Dongpu / 29 50.00% 22 37.93% 6 10.34% 1 1.72% 0 0.00% 58 1105.14 253.35 Village Yingchu nbao / 90 51.72% 49 28.16% 31 17.82% 3 1.72% 1 0.57% 174 1282.1 305.18 Village Total 211 41.37% 151 29.61% 110 21.57% 27 5.29% 11 2.16% 510 / / Notes of relevant villages of Wenfeng Town: 1. 44 households in Wenfeng Town have the land loss rate above 80% and only 22 households have annual agricultural income loss above 4,000 yuan. The reason is that, original arable land per capita of several affected villages of Wenfeng Town is small (see Table 6-1) and household income depends little on land. As arable land area is limited, only 22 households have agricultural income loss above 4,000 yuan. In addition, it can be seen that from Table 6-4, the effect of land acquisition on net income per capita of relevant villages of Wenfeng Town is insignificant, which proves the above analysis results. 66 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project 3. Analysis on Household economic income loss rate Due to different economic development of affected villages and different inome structures of affected households, the proportions of agricultural income loss in total income of displaced households are different and the effect on them may differ.In order to analyze the economic income loss rate of households affected by land acquisition, the land acquisition affected village teams of Huahai Town subproject, Dongzhi Town subproject, Dangzhai Town subproject and Wenfeng Town subproject are taken as samples so as to analyze income loss rate of displaced households. For farmers in 11 sample villages, income per capita, agricultural income loss per capita and income loss per capital are 3,275-7,685 yuan, 253.35-1,277.78 yuan and 5.51%-32.76% respectively. Agricultural income loss of Nanmen team, Dongzhi Village and Dongmen team, Beimen Village affected by Dongzhi Town subproject and Wangjiabao Village Commune 3Commune 3 of Wangjiabao Village affected by Dangzhai Town subproject is high. The main reason is that, affected households of three village teams are relatively few and the effect of land acquisition is caused by farm product trading and distributing center construction in block distribution and infrastructure construction for the logistics center. See Table 6-4 for details of impact of this project on displaced income In addition, from the perspective of economic income structures of affected villages, most parts of the Project are distributed around urban areas and affected greatly by area economy radiation. Their non-agricultural economy is developed, agricultural income takes a small proportion of total economic income, income from export of labor services becomes important source of rural income, transportation industry income of affected villages of the Project takes a large proportion in household economy, and farmers depend less on land income. Through comprehensive analysis, the effect on total economic income of Nanmen team, Dongzhi Village and Dongmen Village, Beimen Village of Dongzhi Town subproject and Wangjiabao Village of Dangzhai Town subproject affected by the Project land acquisition is relatively signifricant.

In the project design, the design organization takes full consideration of damage to local social and economic development and production & living systems, continuously optimizes project design, proposes multiple programs for comparision and selection, takes project measures for optimization, and control road width and construction scale so as to minimize land acquisition and property demolition scope and reduce effect of the project construction on local production and living. Thus, the Project construction will not cause destructive damage to original production and living systems. Most farmers still have partial land after land acquisition so that they can continue agricultural production with remaining land. In order to minimize adverse effect of land acquisition on these rural households and promptly and effectively restore their production and living standard, WB Office of Gansu Province and the owner’s organizations of subprojects propose different compensation and resettlement programs for land acquisition through full negociation with villager committee and affected households according to relevant national laws & regulations and policies as well as relevant policies and procedures about non-voluntary displaced persons. 1. Cash compensation for resettlement (1) Subproject of Zaojiao Town Allocation modes of compensation amount for land acquisition for villagers of affected village teams of Zaojiao Town subproject: all resettlement subsidies, land compensation fees, and young crop compensation fees are allocated to households 68 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project affected by land acquisition. The village committee will not collect retained expenses and land will not be reallocated. Total 20 mu of land is imposed for collective construction for Zaojiao Town subproject and compensation fees will be directly submitted to the collective of Zaojiao Village. According to the investigation, such funds will be used for developing collective economy and infrastructure construction for Zaojiao Village.After funds for land acquisition are distributed to villages, they will be managed and used according to some mechanisms such as “Accounting by Village and Management by Town�, collective business of rural village committee “One Discussion for One Issue� so as to ensure their safety and use for public welfare of villagers. (2) Subproject of Huahai Town Allocation modes of compensation amount for land acquisition for villagers of affected village teams of Huahai Town subproject: land compensation fees, and young crop compensation fees are allocated to households affected by land acquisition. The village committee will not collect retained expenses and land will not be reallocated. For arable land acquisition of Huahai Town subproject, the compensation standard is 29,885 yuan/mu and the compensation fees for land acquisition will be used to calculate their land revenue. Annual output value of 1 mu of dry land is 1,390 yuan/mu and net revenue per mu is 1,000 yuan/year in Huahai Town. At present, the benchmark interest rate of deposit in People's Bank of China is 4.20% (deposit more than 5 years)1, the net present value(NPV) method is used to calculate average future opportunity cost of land so as to know that2, net revenue of land affected by the Project is 12,455.97 yuan in the remaining 18 years (based on the investigation, Yumen City started the second contracting of collective land from 1998 to 1999. By 31 March, 2011, the contracting period has passed 12 years, that is, the remaining contracting period is 18 years) and compensation for land acquisition of the project is 29,885 yuan/mu. Thus, compensation fees for land acquisition are sufficient to make up the land revenue of households affected by land acquisition in the rest contractual term. According to preliminary investigation, all 41 affected households want fully cash compensation 1It was implemented on 20 October, 2010. (1 + i ) n − 1 NPV = A 2 Calculation formula for average future opportunity cost of land: i (1 + i ) n (where, NPV is net present value, A is net annual output value and i is discount rate) 69 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project (3) Subproject of Dongzhi Town Afffected village teams of Dongzhi Town subproject are within the urban planning area of Qingyang City.Before the Project subprojects, land of affected village teams was imposed by other municipal projects of Qingyang City. Thus, traditional practice of allocation of compensation fees for land acquisition has been formed for affected village teams.These methods will be used for the allocation of compensation fees for land acquisition of the Project Accordingf to actual conditions and traditional practice of affected village teams, the following mothods will be used for the allocation of compensation fees for land acquisition: 70% of compensation fees for land acquisition (land compensation fees and resettlement subsidies) will be averagely allocated by the villager team based on existing registered permanent residence population and contracted land of individual households. Traditionally, compensation fees will be allocated in 5:5 by affected village team, i.e. 50% for population and 50% for contracted land. The allocation proportion of the compensation fees for land acquisition will be determined through discussion at the villager team meeting; all young crop compensation fees and land attachment compensation shall be paid to affected households. 30% of retained expense for villager team will be used for developing collective economy and public welfare of the team, and its expenditure purpose will be determined through discussion at the villager team meeting. The town of the project always continues the practice of average allocation of land compensation fees and subsidies among village team members. Thus, households affected by land acquisition of the Project also agree to continue such allocation mode Such compensation for displaced persons can also be used for developing household economy and non-agricultural production. For arable land acquisition of Dongzhi Town subproject, the compensation for dry land is 60,000 yuan/mu, based on which their land revenue is calculated. Annual output value of dry land in Dongzhi Town is 1,550 yuan/mu and net revenue per mu is 1,000 yuan/year. At present, the benchmark interest rate of deposit in People's Bank of China is 4.20% (deposit more than 5 years), the net present value (NPV) method is used to calculate average future opportunity cost of land so as to know that, net revenue of land affected by the Project is 12,455.97 yuan in the remaining 18 years (based on the investigation, Yumen City started the second contracting of collective land from 1998 to 1999. By 31 March, 2011, the contracting period has passed 12 years, that is, the remaining contracting period is 18 years) and compensation for land acquisition of the project is 60,000 yuan/mu. Thus, compensation fees for land acquisition are sufficient to make up the land revenue of households affected by land acquisition in the rest contractual term. (4) Subproject of Dangzhai Town Allocation modes of compesnation amount for land acquisition for villagers of affected village teams of Dangzhai Town subproject: all resettlement subsidies, land compensation fees, and young crop compensation fees (48,500 yuan/mu) are allocated to households affected by land acquisition. Their use purpose will be determined through the villager representative meeting and land will not be reallocated. 70 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project For arable land acquisition of Dangzhai Town subproject, the compensation standard is 48,500 yuan/mu and the compensation fees for land acquisition will be used to calculate their land revenue. Annual output value of 1 mu of dry land is 1,450 yuan/mu and net revenue per mu is 1,200 yuan/year in Dangzhai Town. At present, the benchmark interest rate of deposit in People's Bank of China is 4.20% (deposit more than 5 years), the net present value (NPV) method is used to calculate average future opportunity cost of land so as to know that, net revenue of land affected by the Project is 14,947.17 yuan in the remaining 18 years (based on the investigation, Zhangye City started the second contracting of collective land from 1997 to 1999. By 31 March, 2011, the contracting period has passed 12 years, that is, the remaining contracting period is 18 years) and compensation for land acquisition of the project is 48,500 yuan/mu. Thus, compensation fees for land acquisition are sufficient to make up the land revenue of households affected by land acquisition in the rest contractual term. According to the investigation, one of affected households wants cash compensation. (5) Subproject of Wenfeng Town For Wenfeng Town subproject, the land will not be reallocated after land acquisition. With reference to existing land acquisition programs for the project areas of the project, land compensation fees and resettlement subsidies will be distributed to households in full through negotiation of affected rural collective economic organization and households affected by land acquisition. Retained expenses for the village collective will not be collected. According to the investigation, main income of most local farmers is sourced from migrant work and agricultual income only takes a small proportion of their total income.In addition, most migrant workers are young people and most left-behind persons are elder and children. The problems such as land abandoning and low output value exist. Thus, most displaced persons wants cash compensation. They intend to invest on small business after obtaining compensation fees, which better helps their future subsistence and development. 2. Land configuration resettlement Land configuration resettlement refers to the resettlement mode of using new arable land developed by acquisition and compensation balance to configure land for households.See Table 6-5 for detailed summary of land configuration programs and procedures for Huahai Town and Dangzhai Town meeting land configuration conditions.

Land configuration resettlement programs for towns are as follows: (1) Subproject of Huahai Town After land acquisition of Huahai Town subproject, Newly reclaimed arable land of base with acquisition and compensation balance will be allocated to households affected by land acquisition at a proportion of 1:3. For arable land reclamation, Huahai Town Government will organize rural collective economic organizations to prepare land sorting programs according to overall land use plan, village and town plans and improvement requirements of agricultural production conditions and rural villager housing so as to sort out farmland, water, road, forest, rural villager housing, scattered land and abandoned land. According to the preliminary investigation, presently no households want to select the land configuration resettlment mode because of non-agricultural employment increase and less dependency on land. In addition, land expropriated is main production of special forest and fruit such as grape and medlar with hugh yield. With the project construction, warehousing, distribution and transportation conditions will be improved and planting advantages will become more obvious. Upon the completion of the project, the village committee can, under the assistance of local government, modify their land into special forest and fruit parks such as grape and medlar so as to increase their income and ensure that, their income from land will not drop after land acquisition. (2) Subproject of Dangzhai Town After land acquisition of Dangzhai Town subproject, the resettlement mode of arable land compensation through base with acquisition and compensation balance will be used.Dangzhai Town is national oasis modern agricultural experiment demonstration area. In the oasis modern agricultural construction, the sorted land area will be larger than original one. After land acquisition, land will be reallocated for households at a proportion of 1:1.2. 72 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project Arable land will be compensated for land-expropriated households of Commune 3 and Commune 5 of Wangjiabao Village affected by Dangzhai Town subproject at a proportion of 1:1.2. Its surplus land is 83.6 mu through land sorting, which is intended for reallocation of affected persons of the project. Land for reallocation is 0.5 km away from the project. Commune 3 of Huajiawa has 62 mu of reserved land, and arable land for compensation of affected households of the project will be from the village commune reserved land. The reallocated land is 0.3 km away from the project According to the investigation, 13 of affected households want to select the resettlement mode of arable land reallocation. 3. Resettlement by social security In order to effectively ensure basic living security of land-expropriated farmers, protect their legal rights and interests and solve their future worries, for households with a certain quantity of land acquisition, the land-expropriated population affected by the Project can participate appropriate endowment insurance After land- expropriated population affected by subprojects of the Project participate appropriate endowment insurance, three subprojects (Huahai Town, Dongzhi Town and Dangzhai Town) will acquire and distribute pension according to months of pension of personal account of Gansu Province, and Wenfeng subproject will be in accordance with the Notice of the General Office of the Dingxi Municipal Government on Issuing the Opinions on the Establishment of the Employment and Social Security Systems for Land-expropriated Farmers in Dingxi City (Interim) Table 6-6 Number of months of pension payment for personal account of Gansu Province.

Through analysis on effect of land acquisition (Table 6-2), there are 27 households with land acquisition over 20-60% of existing contracted land. For the farmers who lost more than 20% of their land due to land acquisition, if they are incapable to pay endowment insurance, upon request by themselves, their household could be transferred from agricultural residence registration to urban residence registration. Urban residents whose family income is lower than the minimum living standard for urban residents can apply for the minimum living allowance. Farmers with land acquisition of over 60% and whose remaining land can ensure basic life can voluntarily select to participate endowment insurance for farmers partially losing land. 2 households affected by land acquisition of the Project have land acquisition over 60% of existing contracted land. The expenses for participating endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers (including the farmers completely and partially losing land) shall be borne by the individual and the government jointly, and the payment of the premium shall adopt the one-time off at the time of land acquisition. 40% will be undertaken by individuals paid by deducting from compensation fees for land acquisition and resettlement subsidies; 60% will be undertaken by the government. If it is of land transfer, it will be from land transfer revenue, and if of administrative allocation, it will be undertaken by municipal government. For farmers completely losing land, 60% of average social salary of on-the-job staff of Gansu Province for last year will be taken as the base for their minimum premium to be paid, and total amount to be paid shall be 20% of premiums to be paid multiplied by 15 (years). All personal payment will be included into personal account and all municipal government subsidies will be included into uniform funds. For males aged 60 and above and females aged 55 and above, 1/15 of total amount to be paid will be deducted for every 1 year older; males aged 75 and above and females aged 70 and above will not pay premium. Net income of farmers per capita of Jiuquan City last year will be taken as the base for minimum premiums to be paid. For farmers partially losing land with land acquisition of 20%-60% of existing contracted land, every 10% will be defined as one level and total amount to be paid will be determined based on 3-6 times. All personal payment and municipal government subsidies will be included into personal account. For farmers aged above 60 when participating insurance, 1/15 of total amount to be paid will be deducted for every 1 year older, and those aged above 75 will not pay premium. After payment by farmers completely losing land according to standards, they shall go through insurance registration formalities and shall be incorporated into the management of the basic endowment insurance system for urban employees. After payment by farmers partially losing land by levels, they shall go through insurance registration formalities and shall be incorporated into the future new rural social endowment insurance system management. For persons aged 60 and above when participating insurance, they shall propose application with relevant information in person to labor security administration department of insurance for review and approval and the social insurance handling authority will calculate and distribute endowment insurance monthly based on their accumulative deposit of personal account divided by calculated and distributed months. The individual account of people under 60 year-old shall be managed uniformly by social insurance agencies, 74 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project with the surrendered capital deposited in special financial accounts. Persons having already participated new rural social endowment insurance can continue payment based on new rural social endowment insurance measures and continuous record will be kept for personal account. When they reach the age that can enjoy treatment, pension will be calculated and distributed to them according to new rural social endowment insurance measures. For the farmers who lost more than 20% of their land due to land acquisition, if they are incapable to pay endowment insurance, upon request by themselves, their household could be transferred from agricultural residence registration to urban residence registration. Urban residents whose family income is lower than the minimum living standard for urban residents can apply for the minimum living allowance. According to policies on endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers of Gansu Province, farmers partially losing land in Yumen with land acquisition of the Project of 20%-60% shall be pay 7,692-15,384 yuan when participating endowment insurance, and farmers completely losing land with land acquisition above 60% shall pay 19,567.44 yuan to participate in the basic endowment insurance for urban employees of Gansu Province. Through calculation based on original arable land per capita of 3 mu in affected villages and compensation for land acquisition of the Project, compensation per capita is 22,413.75-58,275.75 yuan at different land acquisition rate. Thus, compensation fees are far higher than personal premilums to be paid when land-expropriated farmers participate endowment insurance (see Table 6-7 for details). Therefore, the land acquisition compensation will be sufficient to make up fee requirement of land-expropriated farmers participating in endowment insurance. In addition, analyzed from the security level of endowment insurance, taking the female aged 55 and the male aged 60 whose land have been expropriated for example, after participating endowment insurance according to the above standard, a female aged 55 could draw 1,357.41-3,453.08 yuan of pension every year, and a male aged 60 could draw 1,660.14-4,223.19 yuan per year, and the annual pension at every grade is higher than that of the annual loss due to land acquisition (See table 6-7 for details). Therefore, the insurance compensation drawn by land- expropriated farmers after they participate in endowment insurance will be sufficient to make up the losses caused by land acquisition, and effectively guarantee the income level of land-expropriated farmers. (2) Subproject of Dongzhi Town According to Notice of the Xifeng District Government, Qingyang City on Issuing the Detailed Rules of Xifeng District on the Implementation of the Endowment Insurance for Land-expropriated Farmers, objects participating insurance are registered rural population aged 16 and above within the administrative area and whose land is acquired by the government. Those with land acquisition over 20% (exclusive 20%) of existing contracted land can participate in endowment insurance for farmers partially losing land and fully personal account mode will be used. For multiple land acquisition, land loss proportion will be accumulated with contracted land as the base. Land loss proportion will be calculated in unit of villager team or household, and determined through discussion by farmers of land-expropriated farmer teams. Farmers with land acquisition over 80% of existing contracted land will be considered as farmers completely losing land and will participate in endowment insurance for farmers completely losing land. The expenses for participating endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers shall be borne by the individual and the government jointly, and the payment of the premium shall adopt the one-time off at the time of land acquisition, 40% of 75 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project which shall be borne by the individuals, and withheld from the land compensation and resettlement subsidies. 60% will be undertaken by the government. If it is of land transfer, it will be from land transfer revenue, and if of administrative allocation, it will be undertaken by municipal and regional governments. For farmers completely losing land, 60% of average social salary of on-the-job staff of Xifeng District for last year will be taken as the base for their minimum premium to be paid, and total amount to be paid shall be 20% of premiums to be paid multiplied by 15 (years). All personal payment will be included into personal account and all municipal government subsidies will be included into uniform funds. For males aged 60 and above and females aged 55 and above, 1/15 of total amount to be paid will be deducted for every 1 year older; males aged 75 and above and females aged 70 and above will not pay premium. Net income of farmers per capita of Xifeng District last year will be taken as the base for minimum premiums to be paid. For farmers partially losing land with land acquisition of 20%-80% of existing contracted land, total payment will be determined by defining the following levels according to land acquisition quantity and its effect on living. Every 10% will be defined as one level and total amount to be paid will be determined based on 3-8 times. Personal payment of farmers partially losing land and government subsidies will be included into personal account. After payment by farmers partially losing land in full, they shall handle insurance registration and the social endowment insurance authority will handle personal account for them. After payment by farmers completely losing land according to the standards, they shall go through insurance registration formalities and shall be incorporated into the management of the basic endowment insurance system for urban employees.

Through calculation based on original arable land per capita of 3 mu in affected villages and compensation for land acquisition of the Project, compensation per capita is 36,000-122,400 yuan at different land acquisition rate. Thus, compensation fees are far higher than personal premiums to be paid when land-expropriated farmers participate in endowment insurance (see Table 6-7 for details). Therefore, the land acquisition compensation will be sufficient to make up fee requirement of land-expropriated farmers participating in endowment insurance. In addition, analyzed from the security level of endowment insurance, taking the female aged 55 and the male aged of 60 whose land have been expropriated for example, after participating endowment insurance according to the above standard, a female aged 55 could draw 764.05-3,453.08 yuan of pension every year, and a male aged 60 could draw 934.45-4,223.19 yuan per year, and the annual pension at every grade is higher than that of the annual loss due to land acquisition (See Table 6-7 for details). Therefore, the insurance compensation drown by land-expropriated farmers after they participate in endowment insurance will be sufficient to make up the losses 76 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project caused by land acquisition, and effectively guarantee the income level of land- expropriated farmers. (3) Subproject of Dangzhai Town Farmers whose land is acquired by the government within administrative regions of Zhangye City shall be in accordance with the Detailed Rules of Zhangye City on the Implementation of the Endowment Insurance for Land-expropriated Farmers Land-expropriated farmers aged 16 (inclusive) and above and with land acquisition over 20% (exclusive 20%) of existing contracted land shall participate endowment insurance. 1.

The endowment insurance mode of unifying social allocation with individual account will be used for them; 2. Farmers with land acquisition of 20%-80% shall be considered as farmers partially losing land and complete personal account mode will be used and linked to the future new rural social endowment insurance measures. 3. If farmers have land acquisition over 80% and the remaining land can ensure their basic life, the remaining land will not be returned to the village collective and they can voluntarily select to participate in endowment insurance for farmers partially losing land. 4. Farmers with land acquisition below 20% will not be incorporated into endowment insurance for land-expropriated farmers temporarily The expenses for participating endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers shall be borne by the individual and the government jointly, and the payment of the premium shall adopt the one-time off at the time of land acquisition. 40% of which shall be borne by the individual, and withheld from the land compensation and resettlement subsidies. 60% will be undertaken by the government.

Net income of farmers per capita of Zhangye City last published by the statistics bureau of Zhangye City last year will be taken as the base for minimum premiums to be paid. For farmers partially losing land with land acquisition of 20%-80% of existing contracted land, total payment will be determined by defining the following levels according to land acquisition quantity and its effect on living. Every 10% will be defined as one level and total amount to be paid will be determined based on 3-8 times. After payment by farmers partially losing land by levels according to the rules, they shall go through insurance registration formalities and shall be incorporated into the future new rural social endowment insurance system management. For persons aged 60 and above when participating insurance, the country social insurance handling authority will calculate and distribute endowment insurance monthly based on their accumulative deposit of personal account divided by calculated and distributed months. The individual account of people under 60 year-old shall be managed uniformly by social insurance agencies, with the surrendered capital deposited in special financial accounts.

When they reach age of treatment, basic pension will be calculated and distributed monthly according to the measures of the basic endowment insurance for urban employees. According to the investigation analysis, only one household affected by land acquisition of the Project meet policies on endowment insurance. According to policies on endowment insurance of land-expropriated farmers of Zhangye City, farmers partially losing land with land acquisition of the Project of 20%- 80% shall be pay 5,986.8-15,964.8 yuan when participating in endowment insurance. Through calculation based on original arable land per capita of 2.6 mu in affected villages and compensation for land acquisition of the Project, compensation per capita is 31,525-94,575 yuan at different land acquisition rate. Thus, compensation fees are far higher than personal premiums to be paid when land-expropriated farmers participate in endowment insurance (see Table 6-7 for details). Therefore, the land acquisition compensation will be sufficient to make up fee requirement of land-expropriated farmers participating in endowment insurance. In addition, analyzed from the security level of endowment insurance, taking the female aged 55 and the male aged 60 whose land have been expropriated for example, after participating endowment insurance according to the above standard, a female aged of 55 could draw 1056.49-2817.32 yuan of pension every year, and a male aged of 60 could draw 1292.12-3445.64 yuan per year, and the annual pension at every grade is higher than that of the annual loss due to land acquisition (See Table 6-7 for details). Therefore, the insurance compensation drown by land- expropriated farmers after they participate in endowment insurance will be sufficient to make up the losses caused by land acquisition, and effectively guarantee the income level of land-expropriated farmers. (4) Subproject of Wenfeng Town According to the Notice of the General Office of the Dingxi Municipal Government on Issuing the Opinions on the Establishment of the Employment and Social Security Systems for Land-expropriated Farmers in Dingxi City (Interim) issued on December 18, 2008, all land-expropriated villagers meeting conditions will be incorporated into the endowment insurance scope based on the voluntary principle so as to solve their future worries. Key points of programs for land- expropriated farmers to participate endowment insurance are as follows: 1. Objects to be guaranteed: agricultural population losing all arable land or most agricultural land after land acquisition approved and implemented according to laws within urban planning areas (including designated towns). 78 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project Agricultural population beyond urban planning areas (including designated towns) whose arable land per capita cannot sustain basic production and life, and that can nto be coordianted by rural collective economic organization and resettled by local government. 2. Males aged 60 and above and females aged 55 and above when land acquisition shall pay endowment insurance. When land acquisition, males aged below 60 and females aged below 55 but having reached legal employment age shall pay endowment insurance premium in full at a time and then they will enjoy endowment insurance treatment monthly after they reach the age of 60 and 55 respectively. 3. Endowment insurance funds for land-expropriated farmers will be raised based on the principle that, individuals will pay one part, the collective will subsidize one part and the government will undertake one part. The fund raising rating will be determined no less than the minimum living security standard of local urban residents, provided that the insured can acquire pension when reaching retirement age. For endowment insurance premium payment of land-expropriated farmers, 30% will be undertaken by the government and fund will be disbursed from total land cost; 50% will be undertaken by the collective and fund will be disbursed from land compensation fees; 20% will be undertaken by individuals and fund will be deducted from the land acquisition resettlement fees. If land compensation fees and land acquisition resettlement subsidies for land-expropriated farmers have been distributed to them in all or in part, the premium will be undertaken by the village commune and individuals based on the fund allocation proportion, and 30% to be undertaken by the government will be disbursed from the land operation revenue. 4. Payment base and proportion: when land-expropriated farmers pay endowment insurance premium, the base will be 60% of average monthly salary of on-the-job employees of the whole province last year with payment proportion of 20% and payment years of 15. For land-expropriated farmers whose personal payment years have reached 15 but who have not reached the age of treatment, they shall continue payment and all costs shall be undertaken by themselves. Monthly basic pension will be increased 5% for one more year payment. 5. The monthly endowment insurance pension of land-expropriated farmers consists of monthly basic pension and monthly pension of personal account. The calculation formula is as follows: Monthly basic pension = average monthly salary of on-the-job employees of the whole province last year×15 years×1% Monthly pension of personal account = deposit of personal account÷calculated and distributed months For example, arable land per capita of village or village team of a villager losing land and aged 60 in Wenfeng Town is 1 mu and it is assumed that, all contracted land of such villager is acquired for the Project. According to relevant policies, the villager shall pay 7,776 yuan. And then he can receive yearly pension of 3,240 yuan far higher than his net annual agricultural income loss of about 448 yuan (calculated based on villages with the highest loss per capita of the Project). It can be seen that, even if all land is lost, displaced persons still can benefit from land acquisition. See Table 6-7 for details.

For Huahai Town, if the land acquisition rate is 20%-60% and premium payment base will be net per capita income of farmers of Jiuquan City in 2009 (6,410 yuan); if the land acquisition rate is above 60%, the base will be 60% of average monetary salary (27,177 yuan) of on-the-job employees of Gansu Province in 2009; for Dongzhi Town, if the land acquisition is 20%-80%, the base will be net per capita income of farmers of Xifeng District in 2009 (3,608 yuan); if the land acquisition is above 80%, the base will be 60% of average monetary salary (27,177 yuan) of on-the-job employees of Gansu Province in 81 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project 2009; For Dangzhai Town, if the land acquisition rate is 20%-80%, the base will be net per capita income of farmers of Zhangye City in 2009 (4,989 yuan). 2. Annual output value of arable land is calculated based on 950 yuan/mu for Huahai Town, 1,146 yuan/mu for Dongzhi Town and 1,593 yuan/mu for Dangzhai Town. 3. It will be calculated based on the compensation for land acquisition in subprojects. 82 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project In order to properly resettle the displaced population and restore or improve their income, besides the above resettlement methods for the farmers affected by land acquisition, project owner will adopt the following auxiliary measures so as to restore livelihood of the affected population. Land-expropriated population and restore or improve their income, in addition to the above resettlement measures, PMO also will take the following auxiliary measures to restore their livelihood. A. Skills training In recent years, more and more labor forces in subproject areas transfer to non- agricultural department or cities for employment. In the future, human capital and skills are the most important wealth affecting labor force. Thus, in the long run, increasing their human capital through skills training may be more important than simply providing cash compensation or employment. The town government of individual subproject prepares skills training plans for labor forces of land- expropriated areas according to market demand for labor forces. Training cost has been incorporated into the government busget funds. After training, the government will recommend them to the labor management departments. According to the investigation, trained labor forces can better obtain local employment opportunity. At present, towns affected by subprojects have prepared skills training plans and training contents including agricultural technical training and non-agricultural occupational skills. See Table 6-9 for details.

Scope of construction Through related project identification, the road construction component in the Qili Town subproject in Dunhuang City has a related project – the Shazhou Ancient Town Reconstruction Project in Qili Town, Dunhuang City. According to the survey, the land acquisition work of this project began in June 2010, and as of March 15, 2011, 42.7 mu of arable land has been acquired for this project, affecting 60 households with 229 persons, who have been resettled. To date, 41 mu of land has not been acquired and properties of 20,206 m2 have not been demolished, which will affect 105 households with 398 persons6. All compensation and resettlement for land acquisition and property demolition will be completed by August 2011. 2. Approval of land used for project construction According to the Land Administration Law of the PRC, and other applicable laws and regulations, if any organization or individual needs to use land for construction, it shall apply for the use of state-owned land according to law. This means that no organization or individual shall use collective land for construction. The use of land for construction must comply with the master land utilization plan, annual land utilization plan and standard for construction land. Therefore, land use approval formalities must be completed before the implementation of this project. In the Project, roads of 3,100 will be constructed, occupying 83.7 mu of land in total. To date, this land has been fully acquired for this project. For the land to be occupied for Danghe West Road and Yueying Road with a total length of 1,600m, a certificate of land use right (DGY 2011 No.02) has been obtained in 2011; land use approval is pending for Suzhou South Road of 1,500m, and is expected to be available in August 2011. 6 Since the 60 households and 229 persons affected by the earlier acquisition of 42.7 mu of arable land will be acquired of housing sites in the upcoming land acquisition activity, these 105 households and 398 persons include the above 60 households and 229 persons affected by land acquisition. 127 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project Attached Figure 1 Land approval document of the Shazhou Ancient Town Reconstruction Project 3. Overview of land acquisition and property demolition, and resettlement impacts Within the land use range of the Project, land acquisition and property demolition of this project will affect 105 households with 398 persons, where 83.7 mu of land will be acquired, including 45.7 mu of arable land and 38 mu of housing land; rural residential properties of 20,206 m2 will be demolished, including 19,269 m2 in masonry timber structure, 937 m2 in masonry concrete structure. According to the survey, as of March 15, 2011, part of the land acquisition for the overlapping area between this project and the Project had been completed, acquiring 42.7 mu of arable land, involving 60 households with 229 persons. 41 mu of land (including 3 mu of arable land and 38 mu of housing land) was to be acquired, involving 105 households with 398 persons. Since the 60 households with 229 persons that have been affected by land acquisition will still be acquired of housing land in the future land acquisition work, this project will affect 105 households with 398 persons in total.

Resettlement programs (1) Resettlement program for land acquisition A. Cash compensation The households already affected by land acquisition in this project have been granted direct cash compensation, and compensation fees have been paid directly to their personal accounts. According to the survey, as of March 15, 2011, all the 60 households affected by land acquisition had received compensation fees. Attached Figure 2 List of persons receiving compensation fees for land acquisition of the Shazhou Ancient Town Reconstruction Project B. Endowment insurance While the households affected by land acquisition have received cash compensation, eligible households may also participate in insurance according to the Interim Measures of Jiuquan City for the Endowment Insurance for Land- expropriated Farmers (JMG [2009] No.123), which stipulate that: Land-expropriated farmers having attained 16 years upon land acquisition and over 20% of whose existing contracted land is acquired shall participate in endowment insurance. Those with a land loss rate of over 80% are regarded as fully land-expropriated farmers, who shall be included in the basic endowment insurance for urban workers; those with a land loss rate of 20-80% are regarded as partly land- expropriated farmers, who are subject to the full individual account pattern for future connection to the new rural social endowment insurance system. 130 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project Those with a land loss rate of less than 20% shall not participate in basic endowment insurance for the moment. If anyone is subject to land acquisition again after the effective date hereof, its formerly lost land may be accumulated for the purpose hereof. Those with a land loss rate of over 80% and whose remaining land is sufficient to guarantee basic livelihood may participate in the endowment insurance for partly land-expropriated farmers voluntarily. The costs of participation of a land-expropriated (either fully or partly) farmer in endowment insurance shall be assumed jointly by the individual and the government in the form of single payment upon land acquisition, in which the individual assumes 40%, which shall be paid from land compensation fees and resettlement subsidy, and the government assumes 60%, which shall be paid from the land transfer income in case of land transfer or from the finance of the competent government in case of administrative allocation. C. Other resettlement mode The PMO of this project has decided to construct two-storied operating properties along the west boundary wall of the ancient town, 240 m2 in size each. Any household involved in arable land acquisition will be granted an operating property at cost price. Alternatively, operating properties suited to the project design may be selected within the project area through consultation between the displacer and the affected villager teams, and one will be provided to each household at cost price. In addition, the Qili Town Government and Dunhuang Ancient Town Investment & Development Co., Ltd. will provide a secured loan of 50,000 yuan to each displaced household in coordination with the bank to start tertiary industry operations. Since all the 105 affected households are affected by both land acquisition and property demolition, these displaced persons will be entitled to this resettlement measure. See Attached Table 5. Attached Table 5 Summary of resettlement modes for land acquisition of the Shazhou Ancient Town Reconstruction Project Cash Resettlement Endowment insurance Other mode compensation At a uniform rate Those losing over 20% of land Key Offering an operating of 50,000 yuan/mu may be insured; 40% of insurance resettlement property of 240 m2 at for arable land costs borne by the individual and measure cost price and housing land 60% by the government It is learned that resettlement for the completed land acquisition work has been done successfully, and there has been no dispute over compensation and resettlement. The PMO acknowledges that the upcoming land acquisition work will be conducted according to the same compensation rates and resettlement program. (2) Resettlement program for property demolition As of March 15, 2011, the demolition work for the overlapping area between this project and the Project had not been started. According to the survey, the PMO has drafted a resettlement program for property demolition: 131 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project The households affected by property demolition will be granted cash compensation at 430 yuan/m2 in masonry timber structure and 500 yuan/m2 in masonry concrete structure. A resettlement community will be constructed in a unified manner for the displaced households. The resettlement work will be conducted through consultation between the displacer and the affected villager teams. One suite in the resettlement community will be provided to each displaced household at cost price. According to the survey, the proposed resettlement community is located south of Yangguan West Road, and this site enjoys convenient traffic and sound infrastructure. The resettlement community will have 12 residential units with 144 suites, and offer two layouts. See Attached Table 6.

This project involves residential property demolition. Due to the practical need for project preparation, compensation and resettlement activities for property demolition have been started according to the state and local regulations and policies. To ensure that these resettlement activities are in line with the compensation and resettlement principles of the RAP, the resettlement planning team has conducted a due diligence investigation on the completed resettlement activities of this project. This due diligence report includes the basic information of this project, the approval procedures of property demolition, the basic information of the completed activities, the compensation rates and the resettlement programs, etc. 1. Background and basic information of this project Hongwansi Town is the seat of the Sunan Yugu Autonomous County Government, the political, economic and cultural center of the county, and a hub of human resources, agriculture, stockbreeding and local characteristic industries of the county. It is 98km away from Zhangye City and 53km away from National Highway 312, and enjoys convenient traffic. The town extends for 51km from east to west, and for 17-28km from north to south, with a gross area of 1,233 km2, including 6.2 million mu of grassland, 14,000 mu of arable land and an urban area of 5.2 km2. Qilian jade processing is a characteristic industry of Hongwansi Town. Presently, over 10 workshops have participated in industry development, processing and marketing 2 million tons of Qilian jade annually, and showing generous economic efficiency and great market potential. However, since processors are scattered, small in scale, weak in production capacity and low in added value, the development of this industry is restricted. In this background, the town government plans to construct a central jade processing and trading zone with supporting infrastructure in Dongliugou Village, and introduce strong enterprises to develop Qilian jade and landscape stone resources within the county through capital introduction, thereby promoting the intensive processing and marketing of Qilian jade, and driving rapid development of the town economy, and the income increase of local farmers and herdsmen. 2. Overview of property demolition and resettlement impacts This Project involves the demolition of urban residential properties of 12,355.69 m2, including main rooms of 10,943.7 m2 (including 8,953.62 m2 in masonry timber structure, accounting for 81.82%; and 1,990.07 m2 in earth timber structure, accounting for 18.18%), accounting for 88.57%, used for residence, and simple rooms of 1,412 m2, accounting for 11.43%, used mainly to store sundries, affecting 230 households with 613 persons in total.

Approval of land used for project construction According to the Land Administration Law of the PRC, and other applicable laws and regulations, if any organization or individual needs to use land for construction, it shall apply for the use of state-owned land according to law. This means that no organization or individual shall use collective land for construction. The use of land for construction must comply with the master land utilization plan, annual land utilization plan and standard for construction land.

Resettlement program for property demolition 140 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project This Project involves the demolition of urban residential properties of 12,355.69 m2, affecting 230 households with 613 persons. Since these properties were mostly built in the 1980s, and generally have such problems as incomplete indoor supporting facilities, irrational structure, poor day-lighting and ventilation, and backward heating, the surrounding infrastructure is also poor. The urban properties demolished for this project will be compensated for in cash at cost price in principle. Since the project area is located in a high and cold region where heating is very important in winter, all affected households wish to move into a resettlement community with central heating. In consideration of above, the following resettlement program for property demolition has been determined: (1) Resettlement mode The proprietors of the residential properties demolished for the Project will have priority in purchasing resettlement housing in the new Lama Bay and Birch Bay communities at cost price. (2) Price of resettlement housing: The budgetary price of resettlement housing is about 1,500 yuan/m2, and such housing will be sold at the final settlement price after completion. (3) Temporary resettlement measures: The proprietor of a demolished property will be granted moving and transition subsidies of 1,000 yuan by the government after entering into the compensation agreement for property demolition. The county government has decided to build color steel plate houses near the county town for individual business operators engaging in commerce, repair, etc. as temporary operating properties. Permanent operating properties will be planned and constructed in a unified manner after land approval. (4) Resettlement site: All proprietors involved in this project will be resettled at the Lama Bay and Birch Bay communities in the county town. In 2011, 20 new residential buildings have been constructed, and will accommodate 756 households in total. 19 new residential buildings have been constructed in the Lama Bay community, with a total building area of 59,740 m2 (2 residential buildings with 72 suites of 77 m2 and 2 residential buildings with 72 suites of 85 m2 for urban shanty town improvement; 6 residential buildings with 204 suites of 53 m2 as urban low-rent housing; 3 residential buildings with 108 suites of 85 m2 under the settlement project for farmers and herdsmen; 4 residential buildings with 192 suites of 85 m2 and 2 residential buildings with 72 suites of 114 m2 under the settlement project for herdsmen in Dahe Xiang). One new residential building with 36 suites of 89 m2 has been constructed in the Birch Bay residential community. The Lama Bay residential community is 1.5km and the Birch Bay residential community 1km away from the demolition site. (5) The resettlement buildings broke ground on May 15, 2011, and will be completed and put into use on November 15. According to the construction plan, the completed resettlement communities will boast a full range of living facilities, a scenic environment and excellent quality. 6. Progress of resettlement implementation 141 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project As of May 25, 2011, 185 out of the 230 displaced households had agreed on compensation and resettlement for property demolition through equal consultation, and entered into compensation agreements for property demolition. 118 households elected to secure housing themselves during the transition period, 58 households have moved, and the remaining 45 households are expected to enter into agreements and move by June 2011.

Attached Figure 8 Sample household demolition agreement of the Central Jade Processing Trade Zone Project 142 Resettlement Action Plan (General Report) for the World Bank-funded Gasnu Integrated Rural Economic Development Demonstration Town Project Attached Figure 9 List of persons receiving compensation fees for property demolition of the Central Jade Processing Trade Zone Project (part) 7. Participation and consultation process of ethnic minority displaced persons It is learned that Yugu, Tibetan and Han people live together within the project area. Since the project area is located in the built-up area of the county town, there is no significant difference in the mode of residence among different ethnic groups, and all of them use spoken and written Chinese in daily life, and have similar means of living. Property demolition will not have any special negative impact on these ethnic minorities, but will on the contrary improve their living conditions and environment. In order to resettle ethnic minority displaced persons, such as Yugu people and Tibetans, the Hongwansi Town Government conducted in-depth and extensive public participation and consultation during the drafting of the compensation and resettlement program for property demolition under the leadership and with the support of the Sunan County Government, and this program has been supported by most of the displaced households. This process was open and transparent. See Attached Table 9.
