PRC: Hunan Flood Management Sector Project
Resettlement Framework and Core Subproject Resettlement Plans
The project aims to enhance sustainable and inclusive economic
growth in flood-prone areas of Hunan Province by sustainably reducing
flood risks, including flood hazards, exposure and vulnerability,
in priority municipal and county cities along the middle and upper
reaches of the four main river basins of Hunan Province.
The project components include flood control, management, and forecasting
in the four mountainous river basins - Lishui, Xiangjiang, Yuanjiang,
and Zishui - as identified in Hunan's Provincial Government's River
Basin Flood Control Plan and 11th Five-Year Plan. Flood protection
works for up to 35 subprojects in 34 municipal and county cities
will be constructed. Non-structural measures will be developed to
strengthen hydrological monitoring, improve flood forecasting, and
enhance flood warning systems.
Structural works in the 35 subprojects require resettlement of
some existing urban and urban residents and businesses. Subprojects
were designed to minimize resettlement and demolition needs, but
to attain broader protection for flood affected areas, disruption
of existing residents, businesses and farmers is unavoidable. The
35 subprojects will affect up to 101 townships (towns or sub-districts),
and 352 villages or urban residential committees. A total of up
to 863 hectares of land will be acquired, including 461 hectares
of farmland.
The acquisition of farmland implies that up to 13,969 persons will
need full economic rehabilitation. In addition, during the construction
phase, about 613 hectares of land will be occupied temporarily.
Along with land acquisition, about one million m2 of
structures would be demolished, including 709,899 m2 of residential
structures (71%) and 292,933 m2 of non-residential structures
(29%).
The demolition would cause permanent or temporary relocation of
5,236 households and 20,778 persons (77% urban and 23% rural) and
affect 95 enterprises and 132 shops.
The resettlement framework stipulates the eligibility and entitlements for land, houses, income losses, and rehabilitation subsidies in accordance with PRC legal requirements and ADB's policy for resettlement. Full resettlement plans for eight core subprojects have been prepared and provide the model for preparing the remaining subproject resettlement plans where resettlement is involved.
