World Bank-financed Ningbo Sustainable Urbanization Demonstration Project Resettlement Action Plan for Juying Road and 3 Urban Roads in Xiangshan County Xiangshan Project Management Office (PMO) September 2019 Letter of Commitment Foreword I. Purpose of preparing this RAP 1 The RAP is prepared in accordance with the applicable laws of the People’s Republic of China and local regulations and a series of provisions in the Bank Operational Policy OP4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement for the purpose of “developing an action plan for resettlement and restoration for the people affected by the project, so that they benefit from the project, their standard of living is improved or at least restored after the completion of the project”. II. Definitions of terms Displaced persons 2 Based on the criteria for eligibility for compensation, “Displaced Persons” may be classified in one of the following three groups: a) those who have formal legal rights to land (including customary and traditional rights recognized under the laws of the country); b) those who do not have formal legal rights to land at the time the census begins but have a claim to such land or assets-provided that such claims are recognized under the laws of the country or become recognized through a process identified in the RAP; and c) those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying. 3 Persons covered under paragraphs 2(a) and (b) are provided compensation for the land they lose, and other assistance. Persons covered under paragraph 2(c) are provided resettlement assistance in lieu of compensation for the land they occupy, and other assistance, as necessary, to achieve the objective set out in this policy, if they occupy the project area prior to a cut-off date1 established by the borrower and acceptable to the World Bank. Persons who encroach on the area after the cut-off date are not entitled to compensation or any other form of resettlement assistance. All persons included in paragraph 2(a), (b), or (c) are provided compensation for loss of assets other than land. III. Compensation and resettlement measures 1 Normally, this cut-off date is the date the census begins. The cut-off date could also be the date the roject area was delineated, prior to the census, provided that there has been an effective public dissemination of information on the area delineated, and systematic and continuous dissemination subsequent to the delineation to prevent further population influx. 1 4 To address the following impacts of the involuntary taking of land: (i) displacement or loss of shelter; (ii) lost of assets or access to assets; or (iii) loss of income sources or means of livelihood, whether or not the affected persons must move to another location, a RAP or a resettlement policy framework shall be prepared to cover the following: (a) The Resettlement Action Plan or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are:  informed about their options and rights pertaining to resettlement;  consulted on, offered choices among, and provided with technically and economically feasible resettlement alternatives; and  provided prompt and effective compensation at full replacement cost2, for losses of assets attributable directly to the project. (b) If the impacts include physical displacement, the RAP or resettlement policy framework includes measures to ensure that the displaced persons are:  provided with assistance (such as moving allowances) during displacement;  provided with residential housing, or housing sites, or, as required, agricultural sites for which a combination of productive potential, locational advantages, and other factors is at least equivalent to the advantages of the old site. (c) Where necessary to achieve the objective of the policy, the Resettlement Action Plan or resettlement policy framework also includes measures to ensure that displaced persons are:  offered support after displacement, for a transition period, based on a reasonable estimate of the time likely to be needed to restore their livelihood and standards of living;  provided with development assistance in addition to compensation measures described in paragraph 4(a)(iii), such as land preparation, credit facilities, training, or job opportunities. 5 Cut-off date: means the date of publication of the announcement of land acquisition and property demolition in this project. After this date, the displaced persons shall not build, rebuild or expand their properties; shall not change the uses 2"Replacement cost" is the method of valuation of assets that helps determine the amount sufficient to replace lost assets and cover transaction costs. In applying this method of valuation, depreciation of structures and assets should not be taken into account. 2 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. 3 Contents Foreword.................................................................................................................. 1 Displaced persons .................................................................................................. 1 1.

areas, resulting in the fragmentation of the county own. One reason for this is that the existing old urban area does not have sufficient public spaces, and the urban public facilities (landscaping, lighting, canopies, seats, recreational facilities, etc.) are increasingly aged, and not maintained properly. In some areas that have been developed gradually in recent years, good public spaces are separated from resident activities by broad roads. All these factors cause people to get away from places that are increasingly old and short of public services. The improvement of residents’ living standard and the shortage of public traffic have resulted in the rapid development of traveling by private car, which is inefficient and not environment friendly, and has aggravated traffic congestion. In addition, the proportion of non-motor vehicles in place of short-distance public traffic remains high, resulting in traffic disorder and endangering traffic safety. The urban population of Xiangshan County is growing gradually, resulting in the expansion of the urban area. Due to the lack of system planning of the traffic infrastructure, the urban area is further fragmented. In addition, with the increase of residents’ living standard, the number of motor vehicles is growing, resulting in more traffic accidents. With the rapid growth of the demand for long-distance travel, Xiangshan is short of public traffic infrastructure, especially those going to the hospital, school and work, including old people, children, the poor and migrant workers. Xiangshan is frequently hit by typhoons, floods and windstorms. Although the flood control capacity of Xiangshan has improved greatly in recent years, flood control measures should be further taken to reduce flood damages, including protecting urban green spaces and constructing rational road drainage facilities. This extensive expansion pattern of Xiangshan is slowing down, which reflects China’s respect for sustainable development in the urbanization process. The Xiangshan County Government plans to strengthen Xiangshan’s urban management, infrastructure and public traffic through the Subproject, and reduce flood risks. 1 1.2 Components The Subproject consists of the Urban Renewal and Urban Traffic components: 1) Urban Renewal: including two urban corridors and a green park: Juying Road (Tashan Road-Yinghai Road), Binhai Avenue (Juying Road-Tian’an Road) and Danyang Park; and 2) Urban Traffic: including 3 urban roads – Xinyi Road, Fengrao Road and Xingyang Road. The components are described as follows: 1) Urban Renewal Juying Road: running from Tashan Road to Yinghai Road from north to south, with a full length of about 7,955.79m, with 5-20m wide green belts on both sides, divided into the south (Tashan Road-Binhai Avenue) and north (Binhai Avenue-Yinghai Road) segments, with design lengths of 5.9km and 2.1km respectively Binhai Avenue: running from Tian’an Road to Juying Road from west to east, about 1,182m long, with 20m wide green belts on both sides Danyang Park: Danyang Park is a future community park in the downtown area, and an ideal place for nearby residents to do exercise and associate, and will further improve the urban park system of Xiangshan. The park is located northwest of the junction of Laixun and Danyang Roads in Danxi Sub-district, surrounded by Laixun Road, the Xida River, Danyang Road and the Magang’an River, with a land area of 22,132.02m2. 2) Urban Traffic It consists of 3 urban roads: Xinyi Road: running from Zhengshi Road to Binhai Avenue from north to south, 1,054m long and 24m wide, excluding the junctions of Zhengshi Road, Baohai Road and Binhai Avenue Fengrao Road: running from Zhengshi Road to Binhai Avenue from north to south, 1,054m long and 24m wide, excluding the junctions of Zhengshi Road, Baohai Road and Binhai Avenue Xingyang Road: running from Laixun Road to Tian’an Road from west to east, 1,061m long and 16m wide, excluding the junctions of Laixun Road, Fengrao Road, Xinyi Road and Tian’an Road This component mainly includes the construction of roads, bridges, culverts, drainage works, lighting works and traffic facilities.

In May 2019, the task force conducted a sampling survey (sampling rate 19.6%) in the subproject area, covering population, resettlement impacts, expected resettlement modes, etc. During the survey, the task force collected comments on resettlement from village committees and villagers, and conducted extensive consultation. 9 In June 2019, the task force verified the DMS results, and prepared this RAP. The key findings of the survey are as follows: 1) Most of the APs know that the Subproject is about to break ground and support it. (As of the last day of the survey, most APs knew that the Subproject was about to break ground; they later knew that the Subproject involved LA and HD through notification by village officials.) 2) The Subproject involves permanent LA mainly, Juying Road (Binhai Avenue South) involves the demolition of attachments of non-residential properties on collective land, and Fengrao Road (Zhengshi Road-Binhai Avenue) and Xingyang Road (Laixun Road-Tian’an Road) involve the demolition of residential houses on collective land. In addition, the Subproject affects small quantities of infrastructure and ground attachments. 3) In the affected villages, villagers have diversified income sources, including employment, house lease, collective income distribution and business operations, and the proportion of agricultural income is low. 4) The Subproject affects no ethnic minority. 2.4 Impacts of Permanent LA 125.1575 mu of collective land will be acquired for the Subproject, including 57.23 mu of cultivated land, 32.241 mu of garden land, 11.2755 mu of pond surface, 22.7805 mu of other farmland, and 1.6305 mu of housing land / collective construction land, affecting 139 households with 461 persons: 1) Juying Road (Binhai Avenue South) Reconstruction 44.3402 mu of collective land in 3 villages in Dandong Sub-district will be acquired, including: 1) 1.3373 mu of cultivated land in Xiayu Village, affecting 3 households with 11 persons; 2) 18.4322 mu in Chikan Village, including 2.8127 mu of cultivated land, 15.39 mu of garden land and 0.2295 mu of other farmland, affecting 25 households with 87 persons; and 3) 24.5707 mu in Zhaimei Village, including 1.9882 mu of cultivated land, 0.0315 mu of garden land and 22.551 mu of other farmland, affecting 21 households with 66 persons.

The per capita cultivated areas of the 9 affected villages are about 0.68 mu. The land loss rates of the 9 affected villages have are below 3% (Xilin Village has the lowest land loss rate of 0.03%). It can be seen that these villages will be affected slightly by LA. The per capita income loss rates of the 9 affected villages are below 2%, in which 8 have income loss rates of below 1%. The subproject area is close to the county town with many industrial enterprises, and the APs’ main income sources are employment and house lease. Men deal mainly with machinery, electronics, textile, plastics, building materials, aquaculture, farm product processing, etc., while women mainly with textile, housekeeping, farming, housework, etc. The main crops are paddy rice and vegetables. Since the proportion of agricultural income to household income is low, these villages will be affected slightly by LA. See Tables 2-3 and 2-4. 2.5 Impacts of Temporary Land Occupation Material storage, vehicle parking, etc. during construction may involve temporary land occupation. After the completion of construction, the occupied land will be restored. 15.03 mu of land will be occupied temporarily, including 1.46 mu of rural roads, 9.84 mu of collective construction land and 3.87 mu of state-owned construction land, affecting no one.

It can be seen that the samples’ income are from outside employment and business operations mainly, and agriculture is no longer a main income source, so the Subproject will have little impact on the AHs’ income. In addition, with the progress of the Subproject, more nonagricultural job opportunities will be generated, thereby increasing the APs’ income.

2) The two affected sub-districts vary greatly in income structure, where the main income sources of Dandong Sub-district are secondary and tertiary industries, because it is located in the urban area, while that of Danxi Sub-district is house lease because there are many migrant workers here; 3) In the affected villages, the proportion of agricultural income is low, while that of operating and wage income is high, so the Subproject will have little impact on the AHs’ income; and 3) The Subproject will generate many nonagricultural job opportunities for the APs, thereby increasing their income. 22 4 Legal Framework and Policies 4.1 Laws and Policies on Resettlement 1) State laws and regulations  Land Administration Law of the PRC (amended on August 28, 2004)  Regulations on the Implementation of the Land Administration Law of the PRC  Decision of the State Council on Deepening the Reform and Rigidly Enforcing Land Administration (SC [2004] No.28)  Interim Regulations of the PRC on Farmland Occupation Tax  Rules for the Implementation of the Regulations of the PRC on Farmland Occupation Tax (Decree No.49 of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation)  Notice of the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Land and Resources on Adjusting Compensation Fees for the Use of Additional Construction Land (CZ [2002] No.93)  Notice of the Ministry of Land and Resources on Doing a Practical Job in Compensation for Land Acquisition (MLR [2004])  Guidelines on Improving Compensation and Resettlement Systems for Land Acquisition (MLR [2004] No.238) (effective from November 3, 2004)  Regulations on the Expropriation of Houses on State-owned Land and Compensation Therefor (Decree No.590 of the State Council)  Notice of the State Council on Strengthening Land Adjustment and Control (SC [2006] No.31), effective from August 31, 2006  Notice of the Ministry of Land and Resources on Doing a Better Job in LA Management (MLR [2010] No.96), effective from June 28, 2010 2) Local regulations and policies  Measures of Zhejiang Province for the Implementation of the Land Administration Law of the PRC  Notice on Strengthening and Improving Land Acquisition Work (ZPG [2002] No.27)  Measures of Zhejiang Province for Compensation for Land Acquisition and Basic Living Security for Land-expropriated Farmers (Decree No.264 of the Zhejiang Provincial Government)  Regulations of Zhejiang Province on Master Land Utilization Planning 23  Notice of the Zhejiang Provincial Government on Re-promulgating the Provincial Minimum Living Standard of Compensation for Land Acquisition (ZPG [2012] No.2)  Measures of Zhejiang Province for the Implementation of Farmland Occupation Tax (ZCNSZ [2008] No.17)  Guidelines of Zhejiang Province on Further Regulating the Management of Village-level Land Reserved for Resettlement (ZPLRD [2006])  Notice of the Zhejiang Provincial Government on Adjusting Compensation and Resettlement Policies for Land Acquisition (ZPG [2014] No.19)  Opinions of the Zhejiang Provincial Government on Promoting the Redevelopment of Urban Low-efficiency Land Comprehensively (ZPG [2014] No.20)  Regulations of Ningbo City on the Expropriation of Houses on Collective Land  Rules for the Implementation of the Regulations of Ningbo City for the Demolition of Houses on Acquired Collective Land (Decree No.141 of the Ningbo Municipal Government)  Measures of Xiangshan County for Expropriation of Houses on State-owned Land and Compensation Therefor (XCG [2014] No.97)  Measures of Xiangshan County for the Implementation of the Acquisition of Houses on Collectively-owned Land (XCG [2019] No.126)  Measures for the Implementation of Endowment Insurance for Land-expropriated Farmers of Xiangshan County (XCG [2007] No.175)  Regulations of Xiangshan County for Compensation and Resettlement for Land Acquisition (XCG [2018] No.98)  Opinions on the Connection between Endowment Insurance for LEFs and Basic Endowment Insurance for Employees (XRS [2013] No.254)  Policy on Endowment Insurance for Land Acquisition (XCGO [2015] No.123)  Measures of Xiangshan County for the Administration of Rural Housing Land (XCG [2015] No.44)  Implementation Rules of Xiangshan County for Compensation for House Demolition on Acquired Collective Land (XCG [2019]) 4.2 Bank Policy  Operational Policy OP4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement and appendixes (effective from January 1, 2002) 24  Bank Procedure BP4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement and appendixes (effective from January 1, 2002) 4.3 Differences between the Bank Policy and PRC Laws, and Remedies Compensation for land Difference: Bank policies require that compensation should be sufficient to offset any income loss, and restore long-term income-generating potential. Chinese standards are based on AAOV. Solution: An early-stage solution is to provide replacement land, which is hardly practical. Cash compensation is the preference of most people, though they cannot ensure the rational use of such compensation. Therefore, further technical support is needed to monitor the income of seriously affected households, especially those in vulnerable groups, and local governments should aid those in need. Compensation and resettlement of vulnerable groups Difference: Bank policies require that special compensation is granted to all vulnerable groups, especially seriously affected households faced with impoverishment. Chinese provisions do not require social analysis, and compensation is based only on the amount of loss. Solution: Special funds are available to assist the vulnerable groups, who will be identified during the DMS. All measures have been specified in the RP. Consultation and disclosure Difference: Bank policies require APs are fully informed and consulted as soon as possible. Chinese provisions have improved the transparency of disclosure and compensation. However, APs still play a weak role in project decision-making, and the disclosure period is usually too short. Solution: Consultation has begun at the early stage (before and during the technical assistance). The Ningbo PMO agrees to disclose the RP to APs as required by the Bank. Lack of legal title Difference: Bank policies require all demolished houses, whether lawful or not, 25 should be compensated for at the same rates. According to Chinese laws, people without local registered residence are entitled to the same compensation as local people. In addition, prevailing Chinese laws stipulate that no compensation should be provided for the acquisition of illegally owned land and houses. Solution: For a Bank-financed project, all APs, whether lawful or not, whether having ownership or right of use, will be protected, and provided with compensation or assistance. Resettlement monitoring, evaluation and reporting Difference: The Bank requires that internal and external resettlement monitoring be conducted. However, there is no such requirement in Chinese laws, expect for reservoir projects. Solution: Internal and external resettlement monitoring systems have been established for all Bank-financed projects, and this has been included in the RP. The requirements for internal and external monitoring reporting are specified in the RP. In order to achieve the above objectives, this resettlement policy framework has quoted the principles summarized in OP/BP4.12 of the World Bank, specified as follows: (a) The resettlement work will be implemented based on the socioeconomic survey and affected quantity statistics, and in accordance with national and local resettlement policies and regulations, as well as the Involuntary Resettlement Business Policy OP/BP4.12 of the World Bank. (b) The project design will be optimized to minimize the resettlement work. The populous area will be excluded as much as possible, so as to minimize the involuntary resettlement. The construction scheme will be optimized to reduce disturbance to the public. (c) All compensations for involuntary resettlement will be regarded as a part of this project. Sufficient fund will be provided to the relocated people, so as to ensure they can benefit from this project. (d) It will be guaranteed that all the affected people can receive all the compensations for the resettlement loss before the implementation of the project. 26 Their daily life will be properly arranged, and their production will be effectively restored. Subsidies and assistance will also be given to solve their temporary difficulties. (e) It will be guaranteed that the living standard, production capacity and income level of all the affected people can recover to their original level or even increase to some extent. (f) The compensation for the demolished structures, specialized facilities and land attachments will be calculated according to the replacement price. The residual value of demolished materials cannot be deducted, nor can the depreciation of original property. (g) Both physical resettlement and monetary resettlement will be offered to the affected people for them to choose freely. (h) The relocated people will receive compensation during the transition period and relocation process. (i) The relocated non-residential units will receive relocation subsidy and compensation for production and business suspension. (j) Special attention will be given to the vulnerable group, helping them select the resettlement houses and move into the new houses. (k) Compensation will be given to the owners of the infrastructure for the relocation and restoration of infrastructure affected by the project. (l) Reasonable compensation will be given to the to-be-acquired land and related losses. (m) The compensation for the to-be-acquired land will be paid within three months starting from the date when the resettlement plan is approved, no later than the date when the land is used for construction purpose. (n) During the preparation and implementation stage of resettlement work, the relocated people will be encouraged to participate in the process, so as to solicit their suggestions for the resettlement work and publicize the resettlement policy in time. (o) Great attention will be given to the complaints of affected people. Timely assistance will be given to them to solve the difficulties and inconvenience during the 27 resettlement process. The disputes on the compensation rate will be solved through consultations as far as possible. If consultation fails, it can be submitted for arbitration. (p) Units involved in the resettlement work will enhance cooperation and coordination among each other. Resettlement organizations at all levels will be established, and all the employees will be well trained. (q) During the implementation process of the resettlement work, any major changes, including the alteration of compensation rate, alteration of relocated position and scale, adding new items, etc, will be reported to the World Bank in advance. Considering that there are some gaps between the domestic resettlement policy and the Bank’s OP4.12, during the resettlement implementation stage of the projects covered by this RPF, PMO will absorb good practices and policy from the Bank on the basis of domestic laws.

The compensation for permanent LA includes land compensation, resettlement subsidy, and compensation for young crops and ground attachments. 1. In Xiangshan County, acquired land is compensated for at location-based composite land price. 2) Compensation for collective land should be distributed rationally among the rural collective economic organization and APs, and used mainly for endowment insurance for LEFs and public welfare, and should not be distributed evenly to households. LA compensation should be used and distributed as resolved by the rural collective economic organization through legal procedures, and the spending and 29 distribution of LA compensation should be disclosed to members and be subject to their supervision. The township government (sub-district) should give directions on the use of LA compensation under the supervision of the departments concerned of the county government. LA compensation must be used for the designated purpose. 3. LA compensation: The county land and sources bureau will disburse LA compensation timely and fully to the rural collective economic organization, otherwise the acquired land will not be used. The compensation rates for crops and ground are detailed in Section 4.5.4. 4.4.2 Temporary Land Occupation According to Article 57 of the Measures of Zhejiang Province for the Implementation of the Land Administration Law of the PRC, in the case of temporary using State-owned land or land owned by farmer collectives by construction projects or geological survey teams, approval should be obtained from the land administrative departments of local people's governments at and above the county level. Whereas the land to be temporarily used is within the urban planned areas, the consent of the urban planning departments should be obtained before being submitted for approval. Land users should sign contracts for temporary use of land with related land administrative departments or rural collective organizations or villagers committees depending on the ownership of the land and pay land compensation fees for the temporary use of the land according to the standard specified in the contracts. Users who use the land temporarily should use the land according to the purposes agreed upon in the contract for the temporary use of land and should not build permanent structures. The term for the temporary use of land shall not usually exceed two years. 4.4.3 Rural HD Residential houses on collective land shall be compensated for in conformity with the Regulations of Ningbo Municipality for the Demolition of Houses on Acquired Collective Land ([2006] No.25), Rules for the Implementation of the Regulations of Ningbo City for the Demolition of Houses on Acquired Collective Land (Decree No.141 of the Ningbo Municipal Government), Measures of Xiangshan County for the Implementation of the Acquisition of Houses on Collectively-owned Land ([2019] No.126), Implementation Rules of Xiangshan County for Compensation for House Demolition on Acquired Collective Land (XCG [2019]), Measures of Xiangshan County for the Administration of Rural Housing Land (XCG [2015] No.44), and other applicable laws and regulations. 30 Measures of Xiangshan County for the Implementation of the Acquisition of Houses on Collectively-owned Land (XCG [2019] No.126) (see Appendix 6): 1. Households affected by the demolition of residential houses may be subject to property swap or cash compensation. Eligible AHs may also be subject to relocation.

Replacement cost Based on the Bank’s replacement cost principle, the HD compensation rates should be compared with the market prices of similar houses on collective land in the same area. See Table 4-8. Table 4-8 Compensation rates for HD on collective land vs. market prices of similar houses Market price Structure No. Item Rate (yuan/m2) Result analysis (yuan/m2) Appraised price of 6750+ (650-950) * It can be seem ① demolished house newness from the Cash comparison that ② compensation ①*0.15 the compensation subsidy rate for each Masonry One-time moving 300 (at least 10,000 structure is much ③ 7650 higher than the concrete subsidy yuan) 21 (at least 1,150 market price of a ④ Transition subsidy house of the same yuan per month) ①*0.1 (at least structure in the ⑤ Moving reward same area, so the 30,000 yuan) compensation rate Total ①+②+③+④+⑤ complies with the Appraised price of ① 6750+700*newness Bank’s demolished house replacement cost Cash principle. ② compensation ①*0.15 subsidy Masonry One-time moving 300 (at least 10,000 ③ subsidy yuan) 7650 timber 21 (at least 1,150 ④ Transition subsidy yuan per month) ①*0.1 (at least ⑤ Moving reward 30,000 yuan) Total ①+②+③+④+⑤ Timber ① Appraised price of 6750+700*newness 7650 43 Market price Structure No. Item Rate (yuan/m2) Result analysis (yuan/m2) demolished house Cash ② compensation ①*0.15 subsidy One-time moving 300 (at least 10,000 ③ subsidy yuan) 21 (at least 1,150 ④ Transition subsidy yuan per month) ①*0.1 (at least ⑤ Moving reward 30,000 yuan) Total ①+②+③+④+⑤ Note: The market prices in the above table are from a local real estate agency. In addition, the transition subsidy for 6 months is 60*21*6 =7,560 yuan (based on the minimum house size of 60 m 2), while the market rental for 6 months is = 600*6 = 3,600 yuan. It can be seen that the transition subsidy is sufficient for house lease, and also complies with the Bank’s replacement cost principle. 2. Restoration of LA impacts The APs’ main income sources are employment and house lease. Men deal mainly with machinery, electronics, textile, plastics, building materials, aquaculture, farm product processing, etc., while women mainly with textile, housekeeping, farming, housework, etc. The main crops are paddy rice and vegetables. Since the proportion of agricultural income to household income is low, these villages will be affected slightly by LA. Eligible LEFs under the Subproject may cover endowment insurance for LEFs. 94 LEFs under the Subproject are eligible, with a coverage rate of 20.39%. The total amount of government subsidies for endowment insurance for LEFs is 7.6008 million yuan, and it is expected that the LEFs will receive a benefit of 563 yuan per month after retirement. Endowment insurance for LEFs has a high participation rate and a high benefit level, and can reduce living risks of LEFs effectively. 44 5 Resettlement and Income Restoration 5.1 Objective and Principles of Resettlement The objective of resettlement of the Subproject is to develop an action plan for restoration and restoration for those affected by the Subproject so that they benefit from the Subproject, and their living standard is improved or at least restored to the pre-project level. Some principles for resettlement and restoration have been developed according to the above objectives: 1) The willingness of the APs should be respected, and their existing production and living traditions maintained; 2) Resettlement restoration programs should be tailored to impacts of LA and HD, and based on compensation rates for LA and HD; 3) Resettlement restoration programs should be combined with group construction, resources development, economic development and environmental protection programs so as to ensure the sustainable development of the affected village groups and persons; and 4) The living standard of vulnerable groups adversely affected by the Subproject should be improved. 5.2 Restoration Program for Permanent LA 5.2.1 Summary The Subproject will affect 9 villages in two sub-districts. 125.1575 mu of collective land will be acquired permanently, including 57.23 mu of cultivated land (45.73%), 32.241 mu of garden land (25.76%), 11.2755 mu of pond surface (9.01%), 22.7805 mu of other farmland (18.20%), and 1.6305 mu of housing land / collective construction land (1.30%), affecting 139 households with 461 persons. The restoration program for permanent LA has been developed through consultation, and includes cash compensation, employment, social security, etc. 5.2.2 Cash Compensation The village groups and households affected by LA will receive cash compensation, being 60,000 yuan/mu for cultivated land, construction land, garden land and other farmland (excluding compensation for crops and ground attachments). LA compensation will be distributed rationally between the affected rural collective economic organization and the AHs, and used for endowment insurance and public welfare mainly as resolved by the collective economic organization under public supervision, and paid to the AHs fully and timely in strict accordance with the 45 Regulations of Xiangshan County for Compensation and Resettlement for Land Acquisition (XCG [2018] No.98). 5.2.3 Employment Villagers in different villages do different jobs. For example, villagers Chikan and Zhaimei Villages in Dandong Sub-district deal mainly with nonagricultural operations, such as running a store or leasing houses, while those in Danxi Sub-district mainly with farming and outside employment. The owner and agencies concerned will provide employment information and other assistance to the APs to help them get employed, as detailed below: 1) Placement to public welfare jobs New public welfare jobs, such as public works, gardening, cleaning and security, will be first made available to APs. It is estimated that about 800 public welfare jobs are available annually from 2019. See Table 5-1. Table 5-1 Public Welfare Jobs Available Job Number Public works 15 Gardening 24 Cleaning 20 Security 21 Total 80 2) Jobs generated during project implementation It is estimated that 150 temporary jobs will be generated per annum at the construction stage, including 50 skilled and 100 unskilled jobs, and 90 permanent jobs generated per annum at the operation and maintenance stage, including 30 skilled and 60 unskilled jobs. These jobs will be first made available to APs to promote their employment, expected to cover 32% of the affected population. See Table 5-2. Table 5-2 Jobs Generated at the Construction and Operation Stages Stage Job Type Number Monthly pay (yuan) Driving Skilled 10 4000 Bar bending Unskilled 30 3500 Calculation Skilled 10 3800 Construction Excavation Skilled 10 4500 Construction Unskilled 40 3000 Cooking / cleaning Unskilled 5 3000 Cleaning Unskilled 15 1500 Operation Road maintenance Skilled 10 2000 Landscaping Unskilled 20 1800 3) Resettlement with land 46 In each affected village, 9% of the LA area will be reserved to promote future village development and villager employment. 5.2.4 Skills Training In order to help LEFs get employed flexibly or start up businesses independently after receiving training, a skills training program has been developed for them. Qualified trainees will be granted certificates of qualification. See Table 5-3.

The total amount of government subsidies is 19.362 million yuan. The total amount of government subsidies for endowment insurance for LEFs is 7.6008 million yuan, and it is expected that the LEFs will receive a benefit of 563 yuan per month after retirement. Endowment insurance for LEFs has a high participation rate and a high benefit level, and can reduce living risks of LEFs effectively. See Appendix 7. Linkage of endowment insurance for LEFs and basic endowment insurance for employees According to the Opinions on the Linkage of Endowment Insurance for Land-expropriated Farmers and Basic Endowment Insurance for Employees, eligible APs in the Subproject may cover basic endowment insurance for employees. 47 Table 5-4Summary of Affected Population Eligible for Endowment Insurance for LEFs Sub- Sub- Labor Those newly Village APs Insured component district force eligible Xiayu 11 7 5 5 Chikan 87 68 16 16 Juying Road Danxi Zhaimei 66 55 13 13 Total 164 130 34 34 Xilin 3 2 1 1 Yangxin 45 32 8 8 Choujiashan 116 84 23 23 3 roads Dandong Xinqitou 46 30 9 9 Jiangjia 49 34 12 12 Shangyu 38 25 7 7 Total 297 207 60 60 Total 461 337 94 94 5.3 Restoration Program for Rural HD 5.3.1 Rural Residential Houses Fengrao and Xingyang Roads involve the demolition of residential houses of 760 m2 in Choujiashan Village, Danxi Sub-district, affecting 5 households with 19 persons, including 630 m2 in masonry concrete structure (82.89%), 50 m2 in masonry timber structure (6.58%) and 80 m2 in simple structure (10.53%). The AHs may choose from the resettlement modes of relocation, cash compensation and property swap voluntarily. See Table 5-5. Table 5-5 Expected Resettlement Modes of Households Affected by HD Resettlement mode Sub-district Village AHs Cash compensation Property swap Danxi Choujiashan 5 0 5 Total 5 0 5 Through consultation with the AHs, the Xiangshan PMO and the IA have offered the following resettlement modes: Property swap will be based on the Rules for the Implementation of the Regulations of Ningbo City on House Demolition on Collective Land, Measures of Xiangshan County for the Implementation of the Acquisition of Houses on Collectively-owned Land (XCG [2019] No.126), and Implementation Rules of Xiangshan County for Compensation for House Demolition on Acquired Collective Land (XCG [2019]). The size subsidy shall be 15% of the entitled size but not less than 15 m2, to be paid for at the preferential price; any deficiency shall be paid for at the difference between the appraised and preferential prices.

In general, the temporary occupation of construction land will not result in any property loss. The Xiangshan PMO and the IA will restore the occupied land timely, and costs so incurred will be included in the budget of the Subproject. 5.5 Restoration Programs for Ground Attachments The Subproject will involve the relocation of some ground attachments. Restoration measures for affected traffic infrastructure must be planned and arranged in advance and suited to local conditions, so that such measures are safe, efficient, timely and accurate, and their adverse impact on nearby residents is minimized. Affected special facilities will be demolished according to the construction drawings without affecting project construction and with minimum amount of relocation. Affected pipelines will be rebuilt before demolition (or relocated) without affecting regular lives of residents along such pipelines (including those not to be relocated). It should be noted that Juying Road (Binhai Avenue South-Sanlian Farm) involves the demolition of ground attachments, including a gate, enclosing walls of 230m and ditches of 240m. Since Sanlian Farm has been closed down, the compensation for such ground attachments will be paid to Ningbo Sanlian Agricultural 49 Development Co., Ltd. 5.6 Supporting Measures for Vulnerable Groups The following supporting measures will be taken for the vulnerable population affected by the Subproject: 1) Priority in employment Vulnerable residents able and willing to work will have priority in receiving jobs generated by the Subproject or public welfare jobs. Among the 9 vulnerable APs, 4 have the ability to work, in which two elder ones have become security guards, two healthy old people have been offered cleaning jobs, 3 will be hired to attend to building materials and dispose of domestic waste, and the others will be hired as landscapers after completion. See 5-6. Table 5-6 Jobs Available to Vulnerable Groups Job Number Salary (yuan/month) Security guard 2 2500 Cleaner 2 2000 Building material keeper 3 2000 Landscaper 2 2000 2) Skills training Skills training will be offered to vulnerable residents able and willing to work. Vulnerable residents already hired will be offered pertinent skills training, such as elder care and gardening. Such training will be offered in a door-to-door manner for their convenience. 3) Assistance in relocation Vulnerable residents almost unable to work will provided with assistance in relocation, etc., such as furniture relocation and new house cleaning by village collectives. 50 6 Organizational Structure 6.1 Resettlement Agencies 6.1.1 Organizational Setup In order to ensure the successful implementation of resettlement as expected, an organizational structure must be established at the implementation stage to plan, coordinate and monitor resettlement activities.

At the implementation and resettlement stages, the PMO will also pay attention to public participation and information disclosure, and communicate with the AHs adequately to ensure the successful implementation of the Subproject. With the progress of project preparation and implementation, the APs will be further consulted so that all issues can be solved before the implementation of this RAP. The resettlement agencies will arrange public participation activities rationally so that each AH will have a chance to consult on compensation before signing compensation agreements. See Table 7-3.

However, unforeseeable circumstances may arise during this process. In order to address issues effectively, and ensure the successful implementation of project construction and land acquisition, a transparent and effective grievance redress mechanism has been established. 7.4.1 Modes of Collection of Grievances and Appeals 1) Grievances, resettlement progress and issues from reports submitted by the township resettlement offices; 2) Construction impacts from construction logs submitted by construction agencies; 3) Coordination issues in LA and HD found by the construction agency through field patrol; 4) Information from the external M&E agency; 5) Letters and visits from APs; 6) Special issues reported during auditing and disciplinary inspection; 7) LA and HD expenses collected from fund disbursement sheets; and 8) Internal monitoring information. 7.4.2 Grievance Redress Procedure According to the survey, the existing grievance redress channels in the subproject area are: 1) Villagers may reflect complaints and suggestions to their village committees, which is the main grievance redress channel; 2) Villagers may reflect complaints and suggestions to their sub-district offices; 3) Villagers may reflect complaints and suggestions to the complaint handling office of the county government. All APs may maintain their rights and interests through the above channels. A grievance redress mechanism has been established to ensure the successful implementation of resettlement. Stage 1: If an AP’s rights are infringed on in any aspect of resettlement, he/she may file an appeal to the village committee or township government, which shall record such appeal and solve it within two weeks. Stage 2: If the AP is dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 1, he/she may file an appeal to the Xiangshan County Housing Construction Bureau within one month after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within two weeks. Stage 3: If the AP is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 2, he/she may file an appeal to the Xiangshan PMO within one month after receiving such disposition, which shall make a disposition within two weeks. Stage 4: If the AP is still dissatisfied with the disposition of Stage 3, he/she may 60 file a suit in a civil court in accordance with the Civil Procedure Law of the PRC after receiving such disposition. At any stage, an AP may bring a suit in a civil court directly. The APs may also present appeals in M&E reports through the external M&E agency. All grievances, oral or written, will be reported to the Bank in resettlement monitoring reports. All agencies will accept grievances and appeals from the APs for free, and costs so reasonably incurred will be disbursed from the contingencies. At the whole construction stage, the above procedure will remain effective so that the APs can use it to solve relevant issues. The above appeal channel will be disclosed to the APs via the RIB and mass media. In the meantime, the villager autonomy pattern in the subproject area is also an effective means for the settlement of community disputes. For example, the “trinity” villager autonomy pattern practiced in Xiangshan County has played an excellent role in settling disputes, where prestigious villager representatives are elected to stand for villagers’ interests and wills, promote village-level democratic decision-making, management and supervision. In this pattern, the voting matter collection, approval and voting processes are regulated. The voting system ensures that voting matters are subject to adequate consultation before decision-making to truly reflect public wills, and gives full play to villager representatives. 7.4.3 Scope and Modes of Reply 1) Brief description of grievance; 2) Investigation results; 3) Applicable state provisions, and the principles and rates specified in this RAP; 4) Disposition and basis; 5) The complainant has the right to file an appeal to the resettlement authority of the next higher level or file a suit in a civil court at the expense of the owner. Modes of reply 1) For any individual grievance, the reply will be delivered directly to the grievant in writing. 2) For any common grievance, a village meeting will be held or a notice given to the village committee. In whichever mode of reply, the reply materials must be sent to the grievant and submitted to the competent resettlement agency. 7.4.4 Recording and Feedback of Grievances and Appeals During the implementation of the RP, the resettlement agencies should register 61 and manage appeal and handling information, and submit such information to the Ningbo and Xiangshan PMOs, which will inspect the registration of appeal and handling information regularly. See Table 7-4. No appeal has occurred to date. The grievance redress mechanism will be further improved during implementation. Table 7-4 Grievance Registration Form Accepting agency: Time: Location: Proposed Appellant Appeal Expected solution Actual handling solution Recorder Appellant (signature) (signature) Notes: 1. The recorder should record the appeal and request of the appellant factually. 2. The appeal process should not be interfered with or hindered whatsoever. 3. The proposed solution should be notified to the appellant within the specified time. 7.4.5 Contact Information for Grievance Redress The resettlement agencies will assign dedicated staff members to collect and accept grievances and appeals from the APs.

Resettlement funds will be disbursed as follows: The Xiangshan County Finance Bureau will disburse resettlement funds to the resettlement agencies (affected township governments / sub-district offices), which will deposit such funds at the designated bank or credit cooperative. After acceptance by the IA, each AH will receive a cash check from the IA with its LA compensation agreement and valid identity document to draw its compensation from the designated bank or credit cooperative. See Figure 8-1. Figure 8-1 Fund Disbursement Flowchart 64 8.3.2 Fund Management and Monitoring Land compensation and resettlement subsidies will be used in consultation with the APs. Crop compensation will be paid directly to the APs, and compensation for infrastructure and attachments will be paid to proprietors. To ensure that the resettlement funds are available timely and fully, and the APs’ production, livelihoods and income are restored, the following measures will be taken: 1) Resettlement funds must be disbursed in strict accordance with the applicable state laws and regulations, and the policies outlined in this RAP, and the compensation rates specified in this RAP must be followed strictly. 2) The county finance and audit departments have the power to monitor and audit the use of special funds. 3) The external M&E agency will conduct special follow-up monitoring on the payment of compensation fees to the affected villages and the AHs. The budget is an estimate of resettlement costs, which may vary due to any variation in the DMS results, the modification of any compensation rate and inflation, but the IA will ensure the payment of compensation fees. The budget will be used and modified as necessary in consideration of contingencies. 65 9 Resettlement Implementation Schedule 9.1 Principles for Coordination between Resettlement and Construction The Subproject will be constructed from 2019 to 2021 in stages. Correspondingly, the resettlement work of the Subproject will begin in 2019 and be completed in 2020. The basic principles for resettlement are as follows: LA should be completed at least one month before the commencement of construction so that the APs have sufficient time to prepare for production resettlement and income restoration; During resettlement, the APs should have opportunities to participate in the Subproject; the range of LA should be published, and public participation should be carried out before the commencement of construction; All kinds of compensation should be paid fully within 3 months from the date of approval of the RAP; no organization or individual should use property compensation fees on their behalf, and such compensation should not be discounted for any reason. 9.2 Resettlement Implementation Schedule 9.2.1 Principles for Scheduling  The Subproject should be announced 6 months in advance.  The Xiangshan PMO, Xiangshan Urban Construction Investment Co., Ltd. and sub-district offices should hold mobilization meetings to disclose the compensation policies and rates.  Compensation fees should be settled after contract signing and before land use.  Resettlement should be supervised to the satisfaction of the AHs. 9.2.2 Resettlement Implementation Schedule The resettlement implementation schedule of the Subproject has been drafted based on the progress of construction and resettlement, and will be subject to adjustment based on overall progress.
