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
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, an 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 assistance (such as moving allowances) during displacement; and
➢ 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
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.
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.
II
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 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.

1 Overview of the Subproject
1.1 Background of the Subproject
The Subproject is a Phase 3 subproject of the Ningbo Sustainable Urbanization Demonstration
Project. The Subproject aims to improve the resistance of Ninghai County to flood risks. The
engineering and non-engineering measures selected will make Ninghai County better prepared,
and protect important assets and susceptible groups from potential floods.
According to the Feasibility Study Report, the Subproject consists of 11 river management
components, namely the Huailu River, Xunan Brook, Longyan Brook, Bamboo Brook, Meilin Brook,
Dianqianwang Brook, Qiaoxiapan River, Lingjiao’aoli River, Xujia River, Puhu Lake, and Dongshan
Flood Diversion Canal, with a total length of 23.57km. The estimated gross investment in the
Subproject is 681.4248 million yuan, and the planned construction period is 2019-2021.
1.2 Overview of Resettlement Impacts
In the Subproject, resettlement is caused by Land Acquisition (LA) for the Xunan Brook,
Longyan Brook, Meilin Brook, Dianqianwang Brook, Qiaoxiapan River, Lingjiao’aoli River, Xujia
River, Puhu Lake, and Dongshan Flood Diversion Canal mainly. 340.64 mu of cultivated land (28.8
mu of basic farmland, 281.45mu of ordinary farmland and 30.39 mu of garden land), 47.43 mu of
woodland, 0.66 mu of protected farmland, 217.24 mu of collective construction land and 68.43 mu
of unused land will be acquired for the Subproject, affecting 5 sub-districts / towns in Ninghai
County (Meilin, Qiaotouhu, Yuelong and Taoyuan Sub-districts, and Huangtan Town), 36
administrative villages and 42 groups. The Subproject will affect 1,065 households with 3,256
persons, in which 859 households with 2,581 persons will be affected by LA, 105 households with
368 persons by temporary land occupation, and 101 households with 307 persons by ground
attachments. See Table 1-1
1) Resettlement impacts of the Huailu River Component: Within the land used for the
Bank-financed component (Huailu River Component), 62 households with 145 persons will be
affected by HD for the Qiaotouhu Village Reconstruction Project (Phase 1), including 54 houses on
collective land, where all AHs have signed HD compensation agreements and received
compensation, and 8 houses (commercial residences) on state-owned land, where the resettlement
willingness survey has been completed, and a preliminary resettlement program has been drafted,
pending approval. A resettlement due diligence investigation has been conducted on this project in
order to learn its LA, HD and resettlement.
2) Resettlement impacts of the Bamboo Brook Component: With the land used for the
Bank-financed component (Bamboo Brook Component), LA for the Zhukou Third Village HD
Reconstruction Project has been completed, and HD on collective land largely completed by 2015.
However, the residential houses of 8 households with 20 persons within the boundary line of the
Bamboo Brook have not been demolished, all on collective land. By the end of July 2019, all the 8
AHs had signed HD compensation agreements, and the compensation paid. However, some AHs
still live in their existing houses because the resettlement houses have not been completed, and will
live until the year end. Through consultation, the 8 AHs will not receive the transition subsidy until
relocation. A resettlement due diligence investigation has been conducted on this project.
See Appendix 2.
1.3 Land Permitting
In August 2019, the Ninghai County Natural Resources and Planning Bureau (NCNRPB) gave
a preliminary opinion on the land used for the Subproject (see Figure 1-1), thinking that it complied
with the national land supply policy and was rational in scale.
The Master Land Utilization Plan of Ninghai County is being prepared, where the basic
farmland within the boundary line of the Subproject will be converted into water resources
construction land. NCNRPB plans to submit the information for basic farmland conversion to the
State Council in November 2019, and conversion is expected to be completed by the end of June
2020. The Ninghai County Water Bureau (NCWB) will apply for land use quotas for ordinary
farmland, garden and woodland in batches. See Table 1-3 Land Permitting Schedule.

1.4 Linked Projects
At the design stage, the Ninghai PMO attached great importance to the identification of linked
projects together with the IA and the feasibility study agency. The following projects are linked to the
Subproject:4
1.4.1 Ninghai Chengbei WWTP
According to the EIA report, wastewater generated by the Subproject will be finally treated at
the Ninghai Chengbei WWTP. This WWTP is located in Youjia Village, Taoyuan Sub-district, with a
gross investment of 165 million yuan, a floor area of 150 mu and a design treatment capacity of
120,000 tons/day, designed to collect and treat wastewater in the downtown area of Ninghai County.
It is constructed in 4 stages, where Phases 1 and 2 have been completed and put into operation,
with a total treatment capacity of 60,000 tons/day, and the EIA report was approved by the Ninghai
County Environmental Protection Bureau in 2002; the EIA report for Phase 3 was approved by the
Ninghai County Environmental Protection Bureau in 2013, and Phase 3 is under construction. Since
wastewater generated by this project can be treated timely, it involves neither LA nor HD.
1.4.2 Ninghai Desheng New Material Co., Ltd.
According to the EIA report, river sludge will be sent to Ninghai Desheng New Material Co., Ltd.
for brick making after drying. This company is located in Dianqianwang Village, Qiaotouhu
Sub-district, being a new-type baked brick manufacturer with an annual production capacity of 60
million hollow blocks (bricks). The EIA report was approved by the Ninghai County Environmental
Protection Bureau in August 2012, and accepted in December 2013. Since waste generated by this
project can be utilized effectively, it involves neither LA nor HD.
4 This policy applies to all project activities resulting in voluntary resettlement, regardless of its funding source.
It also applies to other activities resulting in voluntary resettlement, which are judged by the Bank to be: a)
directly and materially related to the Bank-financed project; b) required to realize the objectives specified in
the project document; and c) implemented or planned to be implemented with the project.
72 Impacts of the Subproject
2.1 Measures to Reduce Resettlement
2.1.1 Design and Site Selection Principles
The design agency and the owner have taken the following measures to reduce the
Subproject’s impacts:
1) At the planning stage, the design agency optimized and compared different options to take
the impacts of the Subproject on the local society and economy into account as much as possible.
2) Resettlement impacts have been minimized at the design stage on the following principles:
a) Avoiding or minimizing occupation of existing and planned residential areas;
b) Avoiding or minimizing occupation of high-quality farmland;
c) Gaining access to the proposed construction sites through existing state and local roads;
and
d) Minimizing construction impacts on nearby residents.
At the RAP preparation and implementation stage, when LA or HD is unavoidable, the following
measures will be taken to reduce the local impacts of the Subproject:
a) Strengthen the collection of basic information, make an in-depth analysis of the local
present socioeconomic situation and future prospect, and develop a feasible RAP based on the
local practical conditions to ensure that the APs will not suffer losses due to the Subproject.
b) Encourage public participation actively and accept public supervision.
c) Strengthen internal and external monitoring, establish an efficient and unobstructed
feedback mechanism and channel, and shorten the information processing cycle to ensure that
issues arising from project implementation are solved timely.
d) Notify the AHs in advance, and conduct construction after harvest or before sowing.
2.1.2 Option Comparison
At the design stage, the subproject design was optimized continually through repeated
fieldwork to minimize negative and resettlement impacts while realizing the original effect.

2.3 Survey Methods and Process
During the fieldwork, a number of survey methods, including interview, observation, literature
study, etc., were used, collecting extensive resettlement information, providing a powerful basis for
the preparation of this RAP. 10 FGDs were held, in which 44% of the participants were women.
During March 25-27, April 24-26, May 13 and May 20-15, 2019, the task force conducted a
sampling survey, interviews and FGDs 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.
From May to June, 2019, the Subproject’s resettlement impacts were verified, and this RAP
prepared through consultation with the owner and the design agency.
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.
2) The Subproject involves permanent LA, occupation of state-owned construction land and
ground attachments.
3) The Subproject affects no ethnic minority.
2.4 Impacts of Permanent LA
2.4.1 Permanent LA
340.64 mu of cultivated land (28.8 mu of basic farmland, 281.46mu of ordinary farmland and
30.41 mu of garden land), 44.74mu of woodland, 0.66 mu of protected farmland, 240.56mu of
collective construction land and 68.43 mu of unused land will be acquired for the Subproject,
affecting 5 sub-districts / towns in Ninghai County (Meilin, Qiaotouhu, Yuelong and Taoyuan
Sub-districts, and Huangtan Town), 36administrative villages and 42 groups. The Subproject will
affect 1,065 households with 3,256 persons, in which 859 households with 2581persons will be
affected by LA, 105households with368persons by temporary land occupation, and 101 households
with 307persons by ground attachments.,See Table 1-2 and Table 2-7.
2.4.2 LA Impact Analysis
A comparative analysis has been made on the cultivat ed areas of the affected villages before
and after LA. The per capita cultivated areas of the 36 affected villages are below 1 mu. The AHs
will lose part of agricultural income due to LA, and their lost income will be compensated for at the
specified rates.
Among the36 affected villages, 35 have land loss rates of below 10%, and 14 have land loss
rates of below 1%。 It can be seen that these villages will be affected slightly by LA.
The per capita income loss rates of the 36 affected villages are below 4%,and 20have income
loss rates of below 1%. The village with the lowest per capita lost income is Liheyang Village,
Taoyuan Sub-district (3.24 yuan).
The main crops of the affected villages are paddy rice, corn and vegetables, and the main
income sources of the AHs are outside employment, vegetable cultivation and stockbreeding. Since
the Subproject is linear in shape, and mostly involves broadening or reconstruction, most AHs are
affected slightly. See Table 2-7.
