Methods of basic analyses include cost-benefit analysis and shareholder analysis. Methods of social investigation are comprised of information collection, questionnaires, expert seminars and interviews. In order to finish the social evaluation, the Third Railway Survey and Design Institute Group Corporation carried out questionnairy surveys and sample interviews in the downtown areas of Harbin city and Jiamusi City, as well as in Bin County, Fangzheng County and Yilan County. Large changes happened on technical standards of railway lines during the modification of the fesibility study of Hajia Railway in 2012, which resulted in alignments change of the railway. Accordingly, the 3rd Railway Survey & Design Institute made a supplementary survey on June 5-7, 2012. According to analyses on changes between the existing alignment and the originally designed one, the scope of changed alignments occupies about 61.28% of the total, the scope of alignments with changes over than 200 m occupying about 41.75% of the total, and the largest flat surface movement being 3.7 km. Although with large alignment changes, there is no much influence on the affected villages and few variations on affected residents. Taking Yilan Station with large alignment changes for example, there is no influence on affected residents, only 4 relocated households with 11 persons. Therefore, the survey sample of 133 hosueholds (occupying 9% of the total) still meets the changes. In addition, the return visit on the sampling survey of affected population in 2012 verifies that, the economic characteristics is of little changes compared to 2009, and thus the conclusions from the 2009 social-economic survey is still valid. The socio-economic survey in 2012 was mainly conducted on levels of provinces, cities and towns, including updates on the latest economic data and planning materials. Table 2-2 reflects feelings and understanding of residents on the Hajia Railway, and basically they think they can get benefits from the project. In fact, above one second of affected residents feed back that the maximu benefit of the project is providing convenient transport services for passengers and the second is an easy transport of goods. Local companies and private owned business also express preference on railway transport.

Urban Residents’ Houses and Appendages In the project area, most houses are storied buildings and brick-concrete one-storey structure. Average housing area is 24 ㎡ or so. Houses and other facilities are in good condition; electricity is available in each household; all the households have running water indoors; about 94% of the households have fixed phones, all having mobile phones. 2. Urban Residents’ Production Materials Sample urban families have a high owning rate of motorcycles. About 11% of households have motorcycles, 8% have cars, and 5% have tricycles. The owning rate of these facilities is likely to increase after economic development is promoted and traffic situation is improved. 3. Household durables in the urban residents The owning rate of durables shows very well the financial condition of the urban residents. Almost all the households have color TVs (many are cable TV), about 38% have computers, 82% have VCD, about 72% have washing machines, and about 85% have refrigerators.

Urban residents’ Income From the income data of the affected urban residents, 82% of the urban households have an anuual net income per capita of more than 10 thousand yuan, while 18% below that. 5. Source of Income In most investigated households, income mainly comes from wage and business, and the latter tops all the others. 49% of the investigated households run businesses, and they usually have high income; 51% of the households depend on wages or other channels, whose income is lower. 6. Consumption and Saving of the Urban Residents From the expenditure data of 105 investigated urban households, we can see that the annual expenditure per capita is 8.1 thousand yuan in 2009. The average annual expenditure is diverse in different regions. For instance, per capita spending in World-Bank Loan Project 9 Social Evaluation Report Daowai district, Harbin, is 8.7 thousand yuan, which is the highest; while in the outskirt of Jiamusi, per capita spending is only 6.8 thousand, which is the lowest. In the affected population, the expenditure for food, education and health care occupies the largest share, accounting for 50%. Conclusion of field investigations shows that the percentage of food purchase is larger than that in the countryside. The expenditure on health care is also high, because with the improvement of living standards urban residents are more concerned about their health than before. 10% of the total income is used to pay for the loans of houses and cars. The rest income is usually saved in the banks, and the savings vary from one to one. (II) Findings from socio-economic surveys on the districts and counties located between Harbin and Jiamusi show that: A. 85.71% of the affected houses are brick-compound structure, with earth-wood structure of only 3.57%. Table 2-4 House structure Materials brick-compound Brick Wood Earth-wood others Percentage 85.71% 7.14% 3.57% 3.57% B. The basic facilities of houses are in good conditions, each household served with electricity, 46% of households supplied with running water either in a room or in the courtyard. Table 2-5 Households with water supply Indoor running Running water in Other sources of Type Well in courtyards water courtyards water supply Percentage 18.57 27.14 35.71 18.58 C. It is found out that ownership of durable goods can reflect well the degree of affluence of farmers. About 50% of the farmer household are equipeed with landlines, 98% with mobiles, oabout 98% with color TVs (most of them are cable televisions), 87% with VCD or similar appliances, about 65% with washing machines and about 72% with refrigerators. The living quality of these farmers is relatively high.

Sample surveys show that the ownership of productive assets is relatively high, obove 60% farmer households owning handcarts and 28% with tractors. In terms of the ownership of transport means, local travel demands are basically met by motorcycles, because motorcycles can travel not only on rural roads but on highways. The ownership of private vehicles is very low, with only 1.57% of households owning private cars, which reflects that most residents rely on motorcycles for traveling.

Economic reform in rural areas. In the early stage of the reform and opening-up, the economy and poverty reduction developed very fast. As it was the first time peasants had the right to contract land for operation and decide what and how much to grow, the long-time suppressed demands were released, which caused a fast growth of agricultural products. The glut of agricultural products sent the prices and the incomes down. Registered permanent residence system differentiates the agricultural and the non-agricultural registered permanent residence strictly, resulting in the inequity of employment, social services, education and other opportunities. And at the same time, urban entrepreneurs can not obtain lands from peasants. The second phase of rural reform was to develop township and village enterprises. These enterprises were operated by local governments, which provided a large amount of revenues and services for local governments and the country. At first, the development of township and village enterprises provided a lot of work opportunities for local farmers. Many enterprises like cement plant and small steel plants, as well little adventures, were established, which helped the peasants shake off poverty and even some have a better living than in those of urban areas. It was found out from on-site interviews that some peasant had an annual income of 2 million Yuan from operating restaurants in a poor village called Nanmenwai Village affected by the project. When the initial development requirements were met and the economy became mature, township and village enterprises needed more technical professionals and business managers for further development. The rural development slowed down once again. The third phase is the development of urban-suburban private economy and industry. The railway system improvement will obsolutely pushes the economy ahead rapidly, for example the project of Harbin-Jiamusi Railway . The project will provide fast passenger transport services to facilitate the economic and social development, and at the same time provide flexible and efficient freight transport services for regions along the railway line. 2.3 Social gender analysis World-Bank Loan Project 12 Social Evaluation Report In the preparation phase of the project, the project owners, as well as other authorities are paying special attention to the rights and status of women in the project. In order to understand the social division of labor, family status, and social status of women in the project area, the socio-economic survey team specifically visited the local Women's Federation of the project area , and paid a special focus on women in the the affected household sample survey . 2.3.1 General conditions of women in the project area (1) The project involves Harbin Municipality and Jiamusi City. Speaking on the overall circumstances of the project area, with the implementation of the Women's Development Program in Heilongjiang Province ( 2011-2015 ) in recent years, Harbin Municipality has developed the Women's Development Plan in Harbin City ( 2001-2010 ) and Jiamusi has developed Women's Development Plan in Jiamusi City ( 2001-2010), in order to achieve the coordinated development of the cause of women and children with economic and social development. （2）Women education Up to 2010, Harbin Municipality and Jiamusi City have fully universalized the nine-year compulsory education, and in particular guarantee the right of girls. The primary-school-age girl’s enrollment rate is 100 %, and the annual dropout rate is controlled at less than 0.02%, basically putting an end to the girls out of school. The secondary-school-age girls’ enrollment rate is 99.82%, and the annual dropout rate is controlled at less than 0.8%. In addition, the efforts on female vocational skills training efforts are constantly increasing, and actively guiding and organizing the majority of rural women to learn new knowledge and new technology, and enhancing the awareness of science and technology as well as the skills to getting rich. （3）Women employment and interest protection In 2010, Harbin Municipality and Jiamusi City strengthened the publicity of laws and regulations including the Labor Contract Law, Labor Dispute Mediation and Arbitration Law and Regulations for the Implementation of the Labor Contract Law, in order to further enhance the legal awareness of employers and of workers. Monitoring and inspection is concentrated on checking if enterprises have signed legal labor contracts with employees, and safeguarding the legitimate labor rights and interests of the workers including women workers. No unit may dismiss woman World-Bank Loan Project 13 Social Evaluation Report staff and workers or unilaterally terminate labour contracts with them by reason of marriage, pregnancy, maternity leave or baby-nursing. Three-year action of the labor contract operates in an orderly manner. Currently, the women’s labor contracts in enterprises of the two cities reach more than 95%, and the rate of Women workers labor contract is more than 88%. （4）Women’s participation in social decision making and management The Women’s Development Plans of the two cities have formulated relevant policies to promote women's participation in decision-making and management, which also clarified the main goal of women’s participation in decision-making and management, and required to raise the the proportion of women in deputies of the people's congresses and members of the committees of the political consultative conference at all levels. In 2010, the prepare rate of female cadres in leading groups at all levels of districts or counties reaches 100%, and the rate of female cadres entering “two committees” of villages is 20%. Women have played an important role in the community Juwei and the village committee grassroots autonomous organizations. 2.3.2. Survey on women development in the project area （1）The project resettlement planning team paid special attention to women during the sample surveys on affected households. Among the 133 households samples (about 628 persons), the number of women reaches 267, occupying 42.5% of the total. The resettlement investigation team learnt from the questionnaires that women enjoy equal acess with men in terms of education, employment, and family and social status. （2）Women education The results of socio-economic surveys show that educational status of men and women is not very different, but the proportion of female is lower than that of male in terms of junior education or above. （3）Women employment and production The socio-economic survey results show that the structure of employment is much similar between men and female in the project area. The percentage of women population is little less than 50%. Although some men left the village to work elsewhere in the country, in recent years, as economic activities increased in the affected areas, the local also provides jobs to allow people to stay in their home, World-Bank Loan Project 14 Social Evaluation Report which reduces the labor mobility accordingly. As Chinese farmers conduct household registration in order to retain the right to use their land, even if at this stage they do not live in the village, they can still be regarded as the local residents. Due to limited arable lands, it is not necessary for all the family members engaged in land cultivation. In addition, among all sample households surveyed, 10% of women are in the unemployed state, but the rate of men unemployed being 0. It can be clearly seen that women’s employment is worse than men. The main reason lies that women have to be engaged in house works and take care of other members of the family; and there are also some other reasons like lower employment skills and educational levels. （4）Gender division According to the household economic survey and interviews with some women, in the project-affected zone, the main household division mode is that the husband and the wife are jointly engaged in agricultural production activities and migrant working. Because of the extension of economic activities of the project affected zone, men ofen seek for paid employment while women are more engaged in farming. Depends on the practicality of the work, in addition to the farm work women may also find some part-time work. The survey also shows that besides gender differences, there are also age differences. The opportunity for employment is much similar to young women and young men, while for elder workers, men can often be employed while women obviously tends to stay at home. Through field investigation, for the households with husband going out for working, all agricultural production labor is done by women. （5）Participation of public affairs According to the socio-econmic survey and interviews with some women, the percentage of women in participating in the public affairs of the village is relatively lower in the project area. Women receiving interviews rarely expressed their opinions on public affairs, and normally they did not attend the meetings of the village unless their husbands were not at home. If their husband at home, more than 75% women thought it is their husband who should attend such meetings. 2.4 Social benefit and impact analysis World-Bank Loan Project 15 Social Evaluation Report 2.4.1 Impacts on employment The most direct economic benefit of the project is the employment opportunity created in the period of railway construction and operation. The employment opportunity created by the project is mainly divided into two types, direct job opportunity and indirect job opportunity. Direct job opportunity refers to the direct employment of workers for the construction and operation of the new railway line, for example, builders employed by civil engineering contractors, and station workers recruitment for the purpose of operation. Indirect jor opportunity is to provide freight transport or services for the new railway line. 2.4.1.1 Job opportunities in the construction period (i) Direct job opportunities The project is a large-scale infrastructure construction project with a long construction period, which provides a huge market for design and construction entities. According to the engineering design, the number of man-days of the project is 48.85 million within a term of 4.5 years, on average 2.97 per day. A part of railway construction needs experienced skilled workers and general skilled workers, which shall be provided by contractors. There are also a number of positions of unskilled workers which can be taken by local residents. it is estimated that the job opportunity of unskilled workers occupies about 60%, 50% of which can be recruited from local farmers. Assuming the salary of each worker is 30 Yuan/day, the annual income of each worker will be about 7500 Yuan. If 80% of the income is comsumed in regions along the line, the consumed commodities and services will create a second chance, and therefore, promoting the economic development along the line. The other benefit caused by construction employment is to give workers valuable practices to obtaining work experiences and skills, and providing good bases for seeking other job opportunities. (ii) Indirect job opportunities A great deal of labor forces, equipments and materials are needed in the construction period, which provides development opportunities for the building industry, building material industry and commercial industry along the line and a lot of employment opportunities for local residents. Besides World-Bank Loan Project 16 Social Evaluation Report job opportunities, the selling of construction materials, food and other necessities of life (for example office supplies, daily necessities, house rent and communication equipment) can also provide considerable economic benefits for local people. For example, during the construction period of Nanjing-Xi’an line of Zhengzhou-Xi’an Railway, the income of Tongbai County (Chengjiao village and Yuehedian village) from selling railway ballast, sand, crushed stones and slabstones was 5.79 million Yuan and the income of life necessaries being 26.62 million Yuan. The income can be used for the improvement of infrastructures and social service in counties and affected towns. 2.4.1.2 Direct job opportunities in the operation period (i) Direct job opportunities Railway transport, in a large extent, can provide job and economic development opportunities. The harbin-Jiamusi railway consists of 14 stations (including Harbin Station and Jiamusi Station), 12 of which are newly built ones. Binzhou, Fangzheng and Yilan Stations are located in county town. Binxi North, Shenglizhen, Shuanglonghu, Demoli, Gaoleng, Dalianhe, Hongkeli Stations areintermediary stations. Binxi East is passing station. The turnover volume of major stations as shown in Table 2-9 Table 2-9The turnover volume of major stations Unit: 10000 passengers 2025 2035 Stations passengers Inter-city others passengers Inter-city others Binzhou 113 93 20 151 121 30 Fangzheng 107 97 10 213 195 18 Yilan 88 79 9 131 115 16 Ping’antun 833 559 274 1116 807 309 Jiamusi 609 0 609 695 0 695 There are many direct and indirect job opportunities near the stations, for example permanent jobs like management, supervision, ticketing and ticketing collection, and food supplies and other services. Meanwhile, the surrounding areas of stations are also centers of job creation. Passengers often request services of taxi, hotels, restaurants and various retail goods. World-Bank Loan Project 17 Social Evaluation Report Markets are also constructed with shelves in many communities along the new railway line. These small businesses also provide a large number of jobs. Farmers can find jobs in places nearer home, earning additional incomes or full incomes replacing agricultural incomes. (ii) Job opportunities created by tourism The regions along the line are rich in tourism resources. Harbin is renowned for its beauty, describing as “Eastern Paris” or “Eastern Mascow”. There is over 500 places of natural and cultural interest such as Dragon Tower, the Memorial Tower of Fighting against the Floods of Songhua River, the Confucian Temple, Kek Lok Si Temple, St. Sofia church, the Central Avenue, the former residence of Xiaohong, Huiningf (the Upper Capital of the Jin Dynasty), Yuquan Hunting Ground, Siberian Tiger Park, Yabuli Ski Resort and virgin forest. There are also some places of interest in the surrounding area of Harbin, including Jingpo Lake, the Five Big Connecting Lakes and Zhalong Nature Reserve. Jiamusi also has unique tourist resources, including Russian border tourism, the most east town of China of Wusu, local customs and flavors of Hezhen minority and Daliangzihe National Forest Park. Along with the Heixiazi Islands coming under the authority of China and the future development, it will become an important breakthrough of tourism. Surrounded By beautiful landscapes, Bin County has many famous resort scenes including Erlongshan Mountain of a national AAAA -level tourism area, Changshoushan National Forest Park, Dalongshan provincial-level nature reserves, Xianglong National Forest Park, Erlongshan Provincial Geopark, Changshoushan Provincial Geopark, and Dadingshan National Key Navigation-hydropower Junction. Fangzheng County has finished the development plan for Shuanglong River Tourist Area and the master plan for Lianhua Lake scenic spot. The infrastructures of Xiangshui River Floating and Fangzhen Lake are being improved. The number of tourists in 2008 was 0.28 million person times, with a tourist income of 42 million Yuan. Yilan County has a long history. It is a noted province-level historic and cultural city. There are such heritage sites as Xiangshun Dafo Mountain, Xiaohekou “Anti-Russian stronghold” and Jingbian Camp of Qing Dynasty. The Chinese are keen to tourism and often tend to travel by trains. World-Bank Loan Project 18 Social Evaluation Report According to the surveys, above 60% of passengers put the railway transport as a top selection among various transport means. According to the collected materials, Harbin hosted 41.5 million tourists and Jiamusi hosted 0.255 million tourists in 2010. The prosperity of tourism will create more jobs near the scenic pots, such as guide, small retailers and handicraft sellers. 2.4.2 Impacts on different stakeholders 2.4.2.1 Impacts on residents along the line High-speed railways have characteristics of fast speed and large capacity; therefore, it poses higher requirements on the distribution function of stations of high-speed railways. Meanwhile, a large-volume passenger flow will also drive forward an improvement of commercial supporting facilities for the benefits of traveling and shopping of local residents. International studies on traveling psychology show that, the space and time range of daily trips is kept within one hour. The average distance between two neighbouring towns along the line is about 80 km and the average traveling time is over one hour, moreover, the road slope is relatively steep, which together causes unsafe hidden danger for traveling by motor vehicles. On the contrary, the average speed of high-speed railways is over 200 km/hour, which makes the traveling time between two neighbouring towns within 30 minutes. It also helps change the ideas of life and habits of local residents, living in middle-size or small-size city, but working, studying and consuming in central cities. The development tendency has been verified in the several decades after the construction of high-speed railways in Japan.The tendency is also emerging in megacities of China, like Beijing and Shanghai. 2.4.2.2 Impacts on enterprises along the line Regions along the line are rich in natural resources. For example, Bin County is rich in such mineral resources as copper, lead and marble. It is one of the top hundred grain producting counties and a production base of cured tobacco. Fangzheng County is rich in over 20 kinds of mineral resources like coal, quartz and marble, and with easy access to transport facilities. Yilan County has 30 state-owned enterprises with annual revenue of ove 5 million Yuan and prosperous private-owned enterprises. It is rich in coal and has various kinds of animals and plants like wild boars and World-Bank Loan Project 19 Social Evaluation Report mushrooms. Regions along the line are also rich in products and have many enterprises. The number of affected enterprises and entities along the line is 39, with an area of demolition and resettlement of 197070 m2 and affected persons of 4550. Demolition within the domain of the Harbin-Jiamusi Railway is negligibly small. Construction of the Harbin-Jiamusi Railway will help expand transport corridors of raw materials and products of local enterprises. Compensation assessment shall be conducted on demolition enterprises and impacts on affected enterprises and staff shall be relieved and well settled. 2.4.2.3 Impacts on poor people As the central region of Heilongjiang Province, Harbin and Jiamusi have a close business relationship between each other. Resettlement and employment, especially without having to go far, are quite essential for poor families. Jobs created in the construction period of the line will keep local employees in close contact with their families and generate incomes for their families. The construction will also bring investments on social communities, education, medical health service and local social cultural life development. The local government can also provide various direct welfares for local people by using operation tax and enterprise tax. Affected regions along the line experienced the Harbin-Jiamusi expressway expansion project before, with a similar route direction with the railway. Therefore, local officials know well about demolition and resettlement, accumulating such experiences as labor recruitment, social protection and poverty elimination. It is of particularly importance to make sure that poor families in remote villages can get these direct job opportunities in order to reduce the number of population below the poverty line. County office of poverty alleviation can help identify these poor families. Non-local workers can be provided with provisional accommodations by the building site or find residence in peasant household near the building site. The foremen can be required to recruit workers from remote villages and provide necessary food and accommodations for them or the local governments can be required to recruit foremen from remote villages. These new foremen can learn from experienced ones and prepare for the future infrastructure project. The capability of problem-solving of workers from remote villages can also be improved. How to keep the sustainability of poverty alleviation after the construction is finished? World-Bank Loan Project 20 Social Evaluation Report The money shall be spent for direct demands of their families or shall be saved for operating small business after railway stations are open. Some county powerty alleviation offices are granted with funds of poverty alleviation either from the state or the provincial governments; in addition, they have also additional taxes charged from engineering constructions. It is suggested that a certain part of taxes shall be reserved to develop a long-term sustainable development plan for poor families of constructors. Focus of the development plan shall be put on specific targets of poverty reduction by mainly using existing resources. Before the completion of engineering construction, the poverty allievation office shall make group inquiries on reasons for poverty of poor workers, providing trainings on finance and farming and encouraging workers to find out solutions to poverty reduction by themselves. After the completion of engineering construction, county government shall record and document reasons for poverty and solutions for poverty reduction, as well as activities of seeking job and commercial opportunities. According to on-site surveys, statistics of poor families along the line is made as Table 2-10. Table 2-10 poor families in part of villages and towms along the line Low-income Town Persons Household enjoying the five guarantees Persons household Juren Town 320 1007 80 432 Jingjian 456 1518 114 651 Bin’an Town 189 649 47 278 Baidu Town 459 1932 115 828 Yihantong 234 416 42 48 Daluomi 671 1306 123 138 Huifa Town 800 1594 196 213 Tianmen 333 607 143 165 Songnan 354 651 97 106 Fangzheng 1742 4285 73 104 Town Yilansixiang 263 523 80 80 Town Jiamusi 8602 23785 2447 2447 Surburb Total 14423 38273 3557 5490 Data source: on-site surveys World-Bank Loan Project 21 Social Evaluation Report 2.4.3 Impacts on minorities The Harbin-Jiamusi Railway goes through two districts and three counties of Harbin and one district of Jiamusi. The distribution of minorities is summarized as following based on surveys and interviews. The population of minorities in Daowai District of Harbin occupies about 3.45% of the total population of the district, which is the lowest proportion in comparison with that of other seven districts in Harbin. Among the minorities, Hui holds the largest number, living in concentrated communities. Acheng District is 23 km away from the downtown of Harbin city, with a total population of 0.58 million, among which, the population of rural population is 0.342 million, rural families 0.109 million. There is an ethnic township called Liaodian Manchu Township, whose population is about 3.2% of the total population of the district. The area of Bin County is 3844.6 square km, consisting of 17 towns and 10 nationalities including Han, Manchu, Mongolia, Hui, Miao, Zhuang, Korea, Dong, Yao and Xibo. The Korean minority nationality holds the large number of population of 872 persons, mainly distributed in Sanhe Village of Juren Town and four natural villages. Fangzheng County consists of 17 nationalities. The population is 5637 persons, occupying 2.5% of the total population of the county. There are four Korean minority villages, including Shuguang Village and Xinfeng Village in Baoxing Town, Xincheng Village in Deshan Town and Hongguang Village in Daluomi Town. The number of households is 735, with a population of 2293 persons. Apart from that, other minorities are distributed scatteredly. Yilan County consists of 17 nationalities. The population is 21308 persons, occupying 5.9% of the total population of the county, with Han, Hui and Korean holding the largest number. There is one nationality township called Yinglan Korean Minority Town. Within Yinglan Korean Minority Town, there are three Korean villages including Pingyuan, Heping and Nongfeng. With Tuanshanzi Town, there are two nationality villages called Nongzhuang Korean Minority Village and Qingshun Hui Minority Village. There are 43 ethnic minority nationalities including Korean, Man, Mongolia, Hui and World-Bank Loan Project 22 Social Evaluation Report Hezhe. There are four nationality townships, including Xinghuo Korean Minority Town in Huachuan County, Tangwang Korean Minority Town in Tangyuan County, Jiejinkou Hezhe Minority Town in Tongjiang City and Bacha Hezhe Minority Town. Except Tangwang Korean Minority Town in Tangyuan County, the rest three nationality townships are not affected by the line. The Harbin-Jiamusi railway assumes the responsibility of two-way or one-way transport between the two cities or regions along the line. It is endowed with the highest accessibility, distributing resources, goods, passengers, funds, technologies and information along the line and facilitating the local development. The studies show that, along with the increase of distance away from the line, the impacts will become weaker and weaker. The impacts can even be neglected when the distance from the line reaches 5 km. In addition, distance between two neighbouring villages is usually longer in Heilongjang Province but density is lower in each village. The direct affected regions are those within 500 meters distance from the line, with problems of land requisition and resettlement. But all minority villages are 5 km away from the line, and therefore will not receive direct impacts. Table 2-11 summarizes basic information of minority towns along the line.

These dispersed minorities have similar living styles, such as food, clothing and marriage, with local Han people. Thet are used to living in the same communities with Han people, integrating well to the local cuture. Table 2-12 Minorities in affected regions along the line Total Minority City County Town Village percentage population population Daowai District 750000 25875 3.45% Zhoujia 4550 90 1.98% Binxi Bin Huayang 3700 22 0.59% County Binzhou Xinglongdadui 984 54 5.49% Shengli Gaolimao 2900 0 0.00% Harbin Yihantong Nanmenwai 2326 110 4.73% Fangzhen Fangzheng County Forestry Gaoleng 2909 130 4.47% Office Yilan Hongwei 17403 0 0.00% Hongkeli County Yangjiadian 16147 30 0.19% Guangming 4568 33 0.72% Jiamusi Suburb Changqing Wanxing 5230 120 2.29% Total 810717 26464 3.26% Shown from Table 2-13, it can be found that the project does not go through ethnic minority villages and towns, those minorities scattering in affected villages occupying about 3% of the population of these villages on average and the population of affected minorities is only 0.24% of the total population of Harbin and Jiamusi (seen in Figure 2-2). Therefore, the project does not involve issues of land requisition and removal of a large number of minorities, without direct impacts on minorities or key religious and cultural sensitives. In addition, all ethnic groups have been highly integrated, with similar development level and ambigious distinction between each other, without cultural sensitivity and vulnerability. Thus it is no need to develop a special plan for minorities. During the period of construction, job opportunities shall be provided to minorities in order to broaden the vision and understanding and improve skills of minorities. Monrities can also sell their raised pigs and chicken in the market to improve their World-Bank Loan Project 25 Social Evaluation Report incomes and enjoy equal rights and benefits with local Han nationality from the new line.

It is not easy for the head of a house to support a family alone, especially when there is a patient or the disabled. During the period of construction, this kind of affected families shall be given special treatment, for example given priority for recruitment in order to increase their incomes. County government shall assist in providing proofs as a part of the contract of demolition and removal and recommend this kind of families to the constructors. Secondly, for families with women as the main labor force, they normally have low incomes. It is suggested to implement the following measures in order to benefit these families.  A small loan shall be granted for womens and instructions shall be provided to them on how to do a small business to provide services for the construction site. Funds can come from small loan plans of Women’s Federation and poverty alleviation office, or from special loans established by county governments  The ministry of Railways shall encourage subordinate railway agencies or companies to recruit more women workers in the operation period and to reserve special areas for women to sell handicraft products, foods and other commodities. The loan plan shall provide support to women to open small businesses within or near to the stations. Women and other disadvantaged groups shall also be fully considered in the planning and designing process of surrounding areas of the stations.  The interests of women shall also be fully considered in the development of tourism to provide more opportunities for them  Women shall be encouraged to sell foods to constructors and provide basic supplies and laundry for them, so that women can have more flexible time to take care of children and the elderly. The National Women's Federation of the People's Republic of China shall actively encourage womens along the line to make small family businesses. The women federation shall act as the instructor of women and local governments shall provide small loans for them. The National Women's Federation of the People's Republic of China shall providing trainings for these women on how to establish a stable World-Bank Loan Project 28 Social Evaluation Report commercial basis and to form a sustainable source of incomes for these poor and fragile families. 2.4.5 Impacts on local culture, nature and ecology 2.4.5.1 Impacts on local culture There are four provincial-level cultural relics protection departments near to the line. But the project does not cut across these relics. The distribution of nearby places of historical interest and cultural relics is shown in Table 2-14 Table 2-14 Distribution of historical relics along the line Administrative Shortest distance to No. Name of historical relics Level region the line 1 Qinghua Relics Bin County Provincial-level About 2km 2 Chang’an ancient city Bin County Provincial-level About 3km Sino-Japanese Friendship Fangzheng 3 Provincial-level About 3km Garden County 4 Qiaonan Relics Yilan County Provincial-level About 200m Note: The distance to line refered to the distance between the line and the land border owned by cultural relics protection departments. The affected regions are rich in resources of nature, culture and history and very attractive to tourists, but still there are many sight spots are not widely known by tourists. Along with the increase of tourists, these relatively unknown spots can be introduced to them and demands of tourism can be directed towards special ecological, cultural and historical trips. This kind of tourism can create more job opportunities, including guide, hotel and restaurant staff and managers, handcraft makers and salers, and salers of other commodities. In addition, opportunities can be provided for the purpose of exchanges between different districts and towns so as to relieve the poverty. 2.4.5.2 Impacts on the nature and ecology (i) Noise impacts and prevention The high-speed railway is featured on high speed, overpass and traction of electronic control system. Because of being totally enclosed and fully overhead, the high-speed railway has less emissions compared with normal railways, but has more impacts on noises and electromagnetic waves. World-Bank Loan Project 29 Social Evaluation Report As there are many factors affecting the noise strengths of high - speed railway, it is difficult to make quantitative estimates at the current stage on the noise effects of Haja Railway. Along with increasing environment protection awareness and requirements on living qualities, people are more sensitive to noises. Three measures to combat with noises caused by Hajia railway construction are proposed. Firstly, coordinating the railway construction planning and adjusting reasonably the city functional zoning, in particular noise sensitive points including schools, hospitals and residential communities. Make a reasonal planning on the layout of buildings on both sides of railways and use relocation or engineering measures to reduce noises. On the other hand, architectural design can be used to enable the railway to be inosculated and in line with the urban landscape. Secondly, effective measures shall be used in terms of designing to reduce noise impacts. Random whistle of locomotives shall be prohibited and the type of sound absorption, sound insulation sound barrier walls shall be set while passing the residential zones in the downtown areas of Harbin and Jiamusi. Monitoring shall be conducted on railway noises in the operational stage. Measures including control of random whistle, improvement of railway equipment and technology content, enhancement on maintenance and repair of rail rolling stock, greening on both sides of railways, and the establishment of railway safety protection areas shall be taken to further reduce railway noises. Thirdly, in terms of management, urban construction supervision departments should strengthen the management of the construction unit, carry out publicity and education in the knowledge of environmental protection, and improve the environmental awareness of construction workers. (ii) Impacts on energy resources——energy consumption reduction If the transport capacity reaches a high level, high-speed transport means will save a large amount of lands compared with low-speed transport means. Compared with expressways, high-speed railways consume much less lands. China is rich is coal but with comparatively inadequate oils and natural gases. The energy structure in China, in a relatively long term, will still be dominated with coals, with a percentage up to 70%. Therefore, the development of high-speed railways, which is driven by electricity, can fully play the advantage of rich coal resources in China and conform to actual conditions of China. World-Bank Loan Project 30 Social Evaluation Report (iii) Impacts on land——land saving and arable land protection High-speed transport means, compared with low-speed transport means, consumes much less lands. Compared with expressways, high-speed railways consume much less lands. According to relevant data, the width of four-lane expressways is 26m, while the width of double-track railway is 20m. In terms of land consumption of unit transport capacity, land consumed by expressways is three times than that of high-speed railways. A 1000 km length of air flight line has about 2-3 airports. In terms of unit transport capacity, land consumed by air transport is about two to three times than that of railway transport, and what’s more, lands consumed by airport are normally high-quality lands across the plain. Therefore, high-speed railway construction is advantageous in saving land resources and occupying less arable lands, which has key economic and social benefits. (iv) Impacts on air environment Railway is the best transport means in terms of air pollution. According to the statistics of German Federal Institute of National Land Resources and Planning, pollutants emitted by various passenger transport means are summarized in Table 2-15 Table 2-15 Hazard emissions of four transport means Items bus train airplane private cars CO2 (gram) 50 78 160 180 NOx (gram) 0.7 0.6 0.7 2.1 Data source: data from German Federal Institute of National Land Resources and Planning Some local studies also show that the conversion emission of harmful substances discharged by highway transport is eight times that of railway transport The Harbin-jiamusi railway is drived by electricity, which is more beneficial for the reduction of air pollution along the line. Compared with diesel locomotives, electric locomotives can reduce a large amount of air pollutants, for example, the reduced emission of soot is 588.7 tons, SO2 124.2 tons and CO 274.9 tons. World-Bank Loan Project 31 Social Evaluation Report 2.4.6 Impacts on local infrastructure and urban economic development Development of high-speed railways will undoubtedly facilitate the construction of local infrastructures and service facilities. Because high-speed railways have advantages of fast speed and large capacity, it poses higher requirements on the distribution function of high-speed railway stations. At the same time, a large volume of passenger flows will also promote the improvement of supporting commercial facilities in the affected region. Learned from on-site surveys, all cities along the line give priority to the development of high-speed railway stations as key areas of outbound traffic and commercial trade. For example, Harbin city has made a planning for construction of urban key infrastructures, including subways and passenger stations of expressways, near the high-speed railway station. Meanwhile, many well-knowned retail enterprises have decided to open shops in the region. The improvement of infrastructures and service facilities will greatly facilitate traveling and shopping of residents, improving the life quality of residents. The unbalanced economic and social development among different regions will continue to exist for a long period due to big difference in economic bases. But the gap between different regions will be gradually reduced and common prosperity of the people across the country will be realized finally. The construction of Harbin-Jiamusi Railway will directly contribute to the development of local economies, in particular the development of those counties with unconvenient transport services like Bin County, Fangzheng County and Yilan County. The marginal effect of investment will be more obvious in areas with weak economic bases than in more developed areas. Therefore, construction of the line will strengthen the investment intensity in less developed areas along the line in some extent, having a more direct contribution to economic growth and reducting the economic gap with economically developed areas. 3． Adaptability Analysis 3.1 Attitudes of different stakeholders 3.1.1 Attitudes of local residents The total affected population by the project is 14342 persons, including 4625 rural persons, or 1062 households. Among the rual affected persons, there are 3494 persons affected by land requisition, or 844 households; 1318 persons or 275 World-Bank Loan Project 32 Social Evaluation Report households affected by project relocation; 187 persons or 57 households affected by both land requisition and relocation. The number of affected factories or enterprises is 39, with the affected area totaling 197070 m2 and 4550 affected persons. There are 1210 households or 5167 persons affected by the project township relocation. According to sampling surveys, 89% resisents are acquainted with the project information, and 82% agree and welcome the project. They hold that the project provides convenience for traveling and freight transport, favors the improvement of local infrastructure and urban construction, promotes economic development and provides opportunites for living condition improvement and employment. 9% hold that the project is of no effects to themselves, while 9% worry about or even oppose to the project. The main concerns are the economic losses and potential income reduction due to land requisition and relocation. The residents knew about policies of demolition compensation and believed that these policies provided guarantees for the improvement of housing conditions. They prefered to select monetary compensation and hoped that the compensation can be paid in time and in full amount. 3.1.2 Attitudes of enterprises along the line The Harbin-Jiamusi Railway passes through Harbin City, Bin County, Fangzheng County, Yilan County and Jiamusi City. All the crossings with existing roads are established with intersections; therefore, it will not affect the transport of raw materials and products of surrounding enterprises. Compensation evaluation and overall relocation will be conducted on demolitioned enterprises affected by the line. Staff of affected enterprises will be given priority to reemployment, compensated with salary losses. 81% affected enterprises expressed support and welcome to the construction of the line. There are 39 enterprises are affected by this project. Demolition compensation standards on affected enterprises will be decided in accordance with relevant provisions and real conditions of these enterprises. 3.1.3 Attitudes of affected poor people In the process of on-site surveys, the investigation panel introduced to these poor people that job opportunities like life goods and lanudary services will be provided to them, and these poor people are allowed to rent shelves to sell small handcrafts near the stations. The direct and indirect job opportunities provided by the project will help World-Bank Loan Project 33 Social Evaluation Report free these poor families from poverty. Therefore, poor people at large are positive and look forward to the project. They expect that they could be granted with enough demolition and land requisition compensations and be given favorable policies of employment during the construction in order to guarantee their sources of incomes. 3.1.4 Attitudes of minorities In recent years, the affected regions have carried out such transport infrastructure construction projects as the expansion and repair project of Harbin-Jiamusi section of Harbin-Tongjiang Expressway and the highway-ring around Harbin. While receiving interviews, the local cadres directly participating in the propaganda of demolition expressed that minorities are also very supportive to project construction. Nothing like project resistance and obstruction has ever happened before. They also suggested that minorities shall be given certain prorities in recruitment. During on-site interview, minorities also expressed that they were actively supportive to the project construction and were pondering to provide services to increase their incomes during the periods of project construction and operation. 3.2 Traffic demand of local social communities and residents As far as local social communities and residents are concerned, cash income of families in counties and villages along the line are mainly from migrant workers, but considering northeast special geography and climate conditions, meanwhile, going out and returning home of labors often focuses on the period of transportation during Spring Festival before or after that festival, which results in difficulty in going out, hard to returning home, frequent traffic incidents and so on a series of problems, it not only makes migrant workers suffer, but also the member of families are hard to feel at ease, therefore, expectation to early improvement for transportation is the common voice of social communities and residents along the line. For the moment, local residents’ work along the line, visiting relatives and friends, leisure and entertainment, medical care, all traffic is so slow and very inconvenient. The urgent need for transportation of residents requires the early completion of the project. Jiamusi is one of the major grain producing areas of Heilongjiang Province, a major agricultural province in China. Along with economic development and population growth, food demand worldwide will increase rapidly. Products like green food and green oils in Yilan County, Fangzheng County and Bin County also need a convenient channel of transport to sell outside the province. The urgent cargo World-Bank Loan Project 34 Social Evaluation Report transport demand and the disadvantaged road transport produce the urgent needs of the project. In order to avoid or reduce the negative impacts caused by the project construction, local organizations and residents put forward various opinions and suggestions, including: railway stations shall be conveniently connected with freight yards of enterprises to provide easy freight transport; in terms of convenient trips, big enough parking lots for automobiles shall be set up in railway station esplanades for the convenience of transfer; noise reduction shall be well processed in urban areas passed by the railway, for example if high-noise machinery or equipment will be used in construction, the construction unit shall submit an application to the local environment protection agencies and such machinery or equipment shall not be used without approval. In areas with concentrated noise-sensitive structures, pouring concrete vibrators is prohibited at night. Overpasses shall be constructed in urban planning zones and isolation belts on both sides of the railway shall be built. Tweeters shall be replaced by bass broadcasting system or wireless call during railway station operations. 3.3 Attitudes of local social communities The project is supported by the central and local governments. It is in accordance with the national industry development policies and has been incorporated into the Study of Adjustment Scheme of Long-and-Medium Term Railway Network Planning (2008) of the Ministry of Railways. Since the project was approved and initiated, different levels of local governments, business owners and design institutes have established a good communication and coordination mechanism. The scheme recommended by the feasibility report is commonly recognized as the best one in terms of economy, society and environmental protection. The value and significance of the project is fully confirmed by different levels of local governments along the line. In order to gain more benefits and reduce or even avoid negative impacts from the project, local governments along the line have proposed various suggestions and requirements based on their experiences and actual needs, which have been studies and responded by the Ministry of Railways and The Third Railway Survey and Design Institute Group Corporation. May to August in 2009: World-Bank Loan Project 35 Social Evaluation Report A. Requirements to railway station: Binzhou Station is expected to move westwards and Binxi Station is installed additionally by Binxi County. Gaoleng Railway Station is expected to be built additionally in the interval between Yilan and Fangzheng by Fangzheng County. In addition, specific opinions are proposed on site selection of Fangzheng Station and Daluomi Station. Jiamusi City agrees that Hajin Railway can continue to use the exiting railway station of Jiamusi, and proposes to build a new passenger transport station in the City Western New Developed District. B. Requirements on the line: Jiamusi City suggested that the part of the line entering into the downtown area of the city shall be built with a type of overhead viaduct, forming overpasses with crossed 19 city roads. C. Requirements on supporting facilities coordinated with local construction plan: Jiamusi City suggested that a railway station shall be constructed straddling over the north and south sides of Jiamusi Railway station. Hepingjie Railway section shall be opened to make the street unblocked from south to north. A tunnel shall be constructed with a width of 60 meters. The clearance of Lianheshou tunnel is 4 meters, used for the community of workers. A tunnel shall be constructed between the south of the Harvesters Manufacturers and Xuefu Street for the purpose of transporting harvesters. 3.4 local social and environmental situations 3.4.1 Compatibility with the role of the cities Harbin is the capital city of Heilongjiang Province, a center of politics, economy, culture and transport in the north part of the northeast of China, one of the four central cities of Northeast China, an important manufacturing base, a famous historical and cultural city, and an internationally famous icing and snowing city. The High-speed railway will become an important infrastructure and transport hub for the urbanization development of Harbin and Jiamusi. It will be a dirving engine for economic liftoff of Heilongjiang Privince and a signal of motorization. Construction of the project is a necessity for implementing the sustainable development strategy of Harbin City and one of indispensable infrastructures for achieving the development objective of the city. World-Bank Loan Project 36 Social Evaluation Report 3.4.2 Compatibility with socio-economic development According to the planning of Heilongjiang Province, the whole province is aimed to establish a first-level economic and trade development zone facing the northeast Asia and radiating the continents of Europe and Asia. In order to achieve the target, transport infrastructure construction shall go ahead moderately. The line will greatly reduce the space and time distance between the northeast of Heilongjiang Province and Harbin and the areas south of the Great Wall. It will facilitate the development of Harbin city cluster and is of key importance to pushing forward urbanization of cities along the line, cooperation and common interests of the Northwest China, and integration of regional economies. In addition, the project acts as the supporting transport corridor for ports of trade with Russia, such as Tongjiang, Fuyuan and Heihe. Recently, along with the completion of large bridges of Tongjiang, Heihe and Heilongjiang and a rapid growth of the volume of transported goods, the line will play an important role in enhancing the economic co-operation based on division of labour and common interests Between China and Russia, facilitating regional economic development and contributing to the establishment of a first-level economic and trade development zone. 3.4.3 Compatibility with travel habits of passengers in Northeast China Northeast China has freezing winters and is always subject to dust storms each year, which causes icy roads and difficulties in traveling. Compared with other transport means, railways have more comparative advantages. Passengers in this region have a comparatively larger dependence on railways. According to the surveys on preference of transport means, above 60% passengers prefer to choose railways for traveling. As construction of the Harbin-Dalian Railway Passenger Dedicated Line has already started and such projects as Harbin-Qiqihar inter-city railway, Harbin-Mudanjiang Railway and Mudanjiang-Jiamusi Railway are to be constructed soon, a rapid railway passenger transport network will be established in Heilongjiang when the Harbin-Jiamusi Railway is finished. By then, the share of railway transport will be raised further. 3.4.4 Compatibility with energy and environment policies Along with the improvement of living quality, people have also raised their awareness World-Bank Loan Project 37 Social Evaluation Report on environmental protection, energy saving and pollution reduction. Railways have the advantages of large transport capacity, less land use, lower energy consumption and pollution and enjoy obvious advantages in the integrated transport system in terms of environmental protection, energy saving and efficiency improvement. The Harbin-Jiamusi Railway is driven by electricity, which accommodates with energy policies in China. In addition, the line is equipeed with Electric multiple units and does not discharge hazardous gases itself, which also reduces pollutions on the cities. Therefore, the line can be called as an energy saving and environmental friendly infrastructure projecet, in conformity with the harmonious relation between human and nature and the strategy ofsustainable development. 3.5 sustainability analyses Major social factors affecting sustainability of the project consist of the pricing of high-speed railways, service level, affordability of passengers, compensations for affected residents and participation of different sections of society. According to the questionnaires, passengers at large hold active attitudes towards the project, but at the same time they also express worries about ticket prices of the new line. Based on studies on existing passenger transport, passengers at the public expenses are less sensitive to the prices, while passengers at their own expenses put the price as an important indicator of modal choice. Subject to higer employment pressures and unclear potential incomes, it is quite understandable that people take a wait-and-see attitude toward the high-speed railway. In future, as the percentage of passengers at own expenses will continuously go up, the fare level of the high-speed railway will direct influence the benefits and sustainability of operators. Secondly, compensation to affected groups is an important factor affecting the smooth implementation and sustainable development of the project. As the civil awareness and law consciousness strengthens, more and more people will protect their own legal rights by legal means. The impact intensity of high-speed railways are higher than that of existing railways in terms of noises, electromagnetics and vibration, which will impact lives of demolitioned residents. Therefore, benefit compensations for affected residents shall be attached enough attentions. 3.6 Risk analyses Construction and operation of the project is beneficial for the improvement of World-Bank Loan Project 38 Social Evaluation Report transport services, urban construction and living quality of residents, but on the other hand, it also faces with certain social risks. Different measures shall be taken in order to tackle different risks and problems. Table 3-1 lists the analyes on social risks.

Conclusions In sum, conclusions are made through the social evaluation studies A. The project receives welcome and expectations from local governments and residents along the line. The construction has a good social basis. B. The feasibity study report of the project is formulated after efficient coordination, which reflects such design principles as saving lands, protecting the environmen, benefiting residents who live along the line and serving to local development. C. The project does not go through key nationality and cultural sensitive areas, therefore, it is no need to develop special development plans for minorities.
