PRC: Guangxi Roads Development II Project
Resettlement Plans
The Guangxi Roads Development II Project includes the construction
of a 188 km expressway from Greater Nanning (Tanlou City) to Baise
City, including interchanges, and connecting, intercounty and minority
village roads component.
Road alignments were selected based on impact surveys and consultations
with local officials, village leaders, and affected households to
minimize impacts on paddy land, vegetable land and housing.
The expressway will directly affect 18 townships, 70 villages,
and 505 village groups in 6 districts/counties in the Guangxi Zhuang
Autonomous Region (GZAR), People's Republic of China.
The expressway and connecting roads will permanently acquire 1,434
ha of land, and will temporarily borrow about 313 hectares of land
during construction. An estimated 13,141 persons will lose their
farmland, and about 360 households (1,584 people) will be relocated.
The upgrading of the 250 km intercounty roads will require land
acquisition of 118 ha and will affect an estimated 498 people. About
67 houses (296 people) will be relocated. The Project will also
include upgrading 500 km of minority village roads.
The Guangxi Communications Department (GCD) prepared a full Resettlement
Plan (RP) for these components, and a Resettlement Policy Framework
and Procedural Guidelines to address any village roads that involve
land acquisition and resettlement.
The resettlement plan and framework were approved by the GCD in
June 2004 and provided to county and township offices. A resettlement
information booklet in Chinese was distributed to affected households
and villages and publicized in the local media in May 2004.
