Wang, Meiyan | Park, Albert | Giles, John
The objectives of the resettlement plan for the Hubei Yiba Highway Project for China are as follows: (a) avoid and minimize potential negative impacts, which include involuntary resettlement and cropping compensation caused by tentative land occupation in project period; (b) strengthen monitoring an evaluation so as to find in time the possible land acquisition and resettlement; (c) some of the subprojects which would cause land requirement and resettlement have to be redesigned and re-selected, these subprojects will not be financed unless the resettlement plans are prepared and arrangements are properly made following the requirement of the policy framework; and (d) develop measures to adequately mitigate the adverse impacts if they cannot be avoided, and to restore the livelihoods of the affected people. Some of the negative impacts and their mitigation measures are: (i) involuntary resettlement and land acquisition will be avoided/minimized as much as possible; (ii) if resettlement and land acquisition cannot be avoided, action plans will be prepared for compensation and rehabilitation of the affected people; (iii) adequate funds will be timely provided for implementing such action plans; (iv) compensation will be paid at replacement costs without depreciation; (v) compensation will be paid prior to the move and acquisition of land; and (vi) the affected people will be assisted during relocation and in their livelihood rehabilitation activities.
