 4.2 Socio-Economic Conditions of Affected Households (AHs)

Data on socio-economic situation of the AHs due to the project is collected based on survey results through questionnaire interview for 843 households (HHs) and focus interviews with nearly 50 representatives from households, ward/commune and village staff (including both men and women) and 24 public consultations and group discussions. The selection of HH sample for socio-economic survey is based on the results of inventory losses (IOL) and severely AHs due to the loss of agricultural land, loss of residential land and HHs doing businesses. . The formal and informal meetings and group discussions with local authorities and other stakeholders were held during the implementation of socio-economic survey.

The number of surveyed households through questionnaire survey is listed in the following table:

Table 8: Socio-economic survey scale

4.2.1. The demographic characteristics of APs

According the survey sample of 843 HHs living in the project area, did not evidence any presence of ethnic minority people in the project area. Average number of people in a HH was 4.2 members and 49.3% men and 50.7% women.

Survey results also showed that, except for households in which both spouses were working in state agencies, most households have at least two or more different sources of income. For agricultural HHs, the majority of additional income sources could be from employment or state agencies; other households had revenues from small businesses, combined with employment and other payment sources. Many HHs had about 03-04 income sources. Through group discussion and public consultation, it was confirmed that household’s income source have experienced a transformation from agricultural, into non-agricultural sources. Number of laborers now working in the agricultural sector has also decreased, mainly in the age range from 45 to 55. The laborers with age under 45 mainly work in non-agricultural sector.

Income level

According to survey results, the income levels of AHs mainly belong to the group of more than 70 million VND / household / year (61,3 %), in particular, each household has average income of 1.4 million per month per capita. Next was the percentage of households with income level of about 35-70 million/year (up to 31.9%) equivalent to average income ranges from 700,000 VND to 1,4 million VND/person/month. Households with incomes below 35 million/household/year accounted for lowest proportion (6.8%).

 

Graph 1: Annual Income of HHs  (%)

In the survey area, there is not great difference of income level between agricultural and non-agricultural HHs living in different wards/ communes (see detail in chart 2). This is due to the transformation into non-agricultural income sources which has mainly taken place in Da Nang. Agricultural households do not depend on only a single source of income but they have income from various activities. Among them, agriculture is only one part of the income structure of the whole family.

5.2     RESETTLEMENT POLICY

5.2.1 Objectives of the WB OP 4.12

The  overall  objectives of tthe World Bank OP/BP 4.12 are the following

(a) Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible, or minimized, exploring all viable alternative project designs.

(b) Where it is not feasible to avoid resettlement, resettlement activities should be conceived and executed as sustainable development programs, providing sufficient investment resources to enable the persons displaced by the project to share in project benefits. Displaced persons³should be meaningfully consulted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs.

(c) Displaced persons should be assisted in their efforts to improve their livelihoods and standards of living or at least to restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels or to levels prevailing prior to the beginning of project implementation, whichever is higher.

 5.2.2 Required  Measures

Measures to achieve the best resettlement results include:

• Consultation with DPs on feasible measures for compensation and preparation of RP
• Provision of resettlement alternatives to DPs, for their choices
• Participation of DPs in all steps of planning and implementation
• Full compensation at replacement costs for loss by the Project
• Resettlement locations have the same necessary infrastructure and services as DPs’ former residences
• Providing allowances, support, vocational training and income support to facilitate the relocation and restoration of their livelihood.
• Special assistance for vulnerable groups is provided
• Setting up a suitable institutional and organizational structure for smooth process of compensation and resettlement.

5.2.3 Principles for Compensation and Resettlement

All DPs who have assets within or reside within the area of project land-take before the cut-off date are entitled to compensation or assistance for their losses. Those who have lost their income and/or subsistence will be eligible for livelihood rehabilitation assistance, based on the criteria of eligibility defined by the Project and in consultation with the DPs. If, by the end of the project, livelihoods have been shown not to be restored to pre-project levels, additional measures should be considered.

• The compensation rates will be determined based on the results of independent land/assets appraisal in a timely and consultative fashion. All fees and taxes on land and/or house transfers will be waived or otherwise included in a compensation package for land and structures/houses or businesses. The local authorities will ensure that DPs choosing relocation on their own obtain, without additional cost, the necessary property titles and official certificates commensurate with similar packages provided to those who choose to move to the project resettlement sites.
• Land will be compensated “land for land” or in cash according to the DP’s choice whenever possible. The choice of land for land must be offered to those losing 20% or more of their productive land. If land is not available, the borrower must assure itself that this is indeed the case. Those losing 20% or more of their land will have to be assisted to restore their livelihood. The same principles apply for the poor and vulnerable people losing 10% or more of their productive landholding.
• DPs that prefer “land for land” will be provided with land plots with the equivalent productive capacity for lost lands if available or a combination of land (a standard land plot) in a new residential area nearby for residential land, and cash adjustment for the difference between their lost land and the land plots provided. The resettlement area will be planned properly and implemented in consultation with the DPs. All basic infrastructures, such as paved roads, sidewalks, drainage, water supply, and electricity and telephone lines, will be provided.
• DPs that prefer “cash for land” will be compensated in cash at the full replacement cost. These DPs will be assisted in rehabilitating their livelihoods and making their own arrangements for relocation.
• Compensation for all residential, commercial, or other structures will be offered at the replacement cost, without any depreciation of the structure and without deduction for salvageable materials. Structures shall be evaluated individually. Any rates set by category of structure must use the highest value structure in that group (not the lowest).
• The DPs will be provided full assistance (including a transportation allowance) for transportation of personal belongings and assets, in addition to the compensation at replacement cost of their houses, lands, and other properties.
• Compensation and rehabilitation assistance must be provided to each DP at least 30 days prior to the taking of the assets for those who are not to be relocated and 60 days for those who will have to be relocated. Exceptions should be made in the case of vulnerable groups who may need more time.

• If, by the end of the project, livelihoods have been shown not to be restored to pre-project levels, additional measures should be considered.

• Financial services (such as loans or credits) will be provided to DPs, if necessary. The installment amounts and the schedule of payments will be within the repayment capacity of DPs.
• Additional efforts, such as economic rehabilitation assistance, training and other forms of assistance, should be provided to DPs losing income sources, especially to vulnerable groups in order to enhance their future prospects toward livelihood restoration and improvement.
• The previous level of community services and resources, encountered prior to displacement, will be maintained or improved for resettlement areas.

Compensation Criteria and Eligibility: DPs who are entitled to the compensation are:

1. those who have legal rights to land or other assets;
2. those who currently do not have legal rights to land or other assets but have claimed for legalizable land or assets in accordance with the Vietnamese laws based on the storage of such documents as land tax bills, certificates of residence status, or residential permissions of local authorities to occupy and use the land in the project affected areas; and
3. those who have no recognizable legal right or no claim to legalizable land they are occupying.

Persons covered under (a) and (b) are compensated for their land and other affected assets at replacement cost and provided other assistance. Persons covered under (c) are given Resettlement Assistance in replacement of compensation for occupied land, and other assistances, if necessary, to achieve the objectives in this policy. If they occupy the project area prior to a cut-off date determined in each RP, people who encroach on the area after the cut-off date determined in each RP are not entitled to compensation or any other form of resettlement assistances (though they may be entitled to some support stipulated in current policies).

Identification of Valuation and compensation for losses: Methods used for the valuation of losses in the Bank funded projects are based on replacement costs. The replacement cost of land includes the land value as defined in accordance with the prevalent market price plus the fee for a certificate of land use rights. For affected houses and other structures, the valuation is based on the market price of construction materials to build a replaced house of equal or better quality and area to that affected. For works partly or wholly affected by the project, the compensation includes the market price of building materials plus costs for transportation, labor and contractor fees, registration fees and transfer taxes. Asset depreciation and the value of materials that can be salvaged by DPs, are not deducted from the compensation.

During the implementation phase, an external land appraiser (s) will be hired to survey and he/she/they will propose a set of replacement costs for all types of affected land (both agriculture and residential land) and assets, which will be served as basis for Da Nang City PC's compensation price ensuring that it is at the replacement cost

Linked Activities: This policy applies to all components of the project that result in involuntary resettlement, regardless of finance source. It’s also applied to other activities resulting in involuntary resettlement, that in the judgment of the Bank, are (a) directly and significantly related to the Bank-assisted project, (b) necessary to achieve its objectives as set forth in the project documents; and (c) carried out, or planned to be carried out, contemporaneously with the project. A screening of linked activities was conducted that enclosed in the Annex 1: Screening of Linked Activities). In that case that a link project is identified, a due diligence approach will be applied.

Screening  potential liked projects showed that there is only 136m of canal which belongs to Phuoc Ly urban zone project is linked to the prolonging Yen The – Bac Son canal to be built under the component 1 of SCDP. A DD review  has been done for this canal section, which is described in the Annex 1 of the RP.  Information was gathered by the PMU and reviewed by Bank staff  supporting for SCDP preparation through visiting the Project site and talking with local authorities and related stakeholders. 15 households were affected by agricultural land loss. All the compensation and assistance were provided to the DPs in accordance with the Gov. and Danang city’s regulations and norms. All DPs agreed with compensation package provided and handed over the land to the contractors,  and the civil work  were completed in October  2012. There is no outstanding complaints or legacy issues. The monitoring of livelihood restoration of the DPs will be conducted during SCDP implementation to ensure the  livelihood restoration of affected households.

The project’s DPs are mainly living in the city neighborhood; therefore, new location needs to ensure suitable chances for business opportunities, with availability of technical and social infrastructure. However, more importantly DPs should opt for a  defined location, through consultative process. Hence, consulting with DPs during  the  period of defining and constructing resettlement site is an  factor. Resettlement’s site   will accomplish the established standards for urban and basic infrastructures and built before DPs move in. Consultation is also applicable to host community as is described in detail in next section 6.5

6.2 Eligibility criteria

Eligibility criteria and is described as  follows:  DPs whose houses or land are acquired by the Project  and the remaining area is not economically viable,  will be provided with plot of land in the project resettlement site.

If land users are not the subject to the land compensation but have no other places to live, and have certificate of local government on their current status, they: (1) would be considered to be allocated a land plot at minimum size in resettlement area; and (2)  would pay the land use fee. If DPs are unable to afford fee, they would be considered to be provided with a credit  

Affected people whose land is acquired by the construction of resettlement area are entitled to be compensated and assisted same as the Project affected households.

6.3 Relocation

For the households whose houses are partly affected, if the remaining area is not enough for rebuilding the house, they will receive a land plot in resettlement site. The below table shows the summary of resettlement needs (including proposed contingency rate at 25%).

7. Livelihood  Restoration Program

7.1     OVERVIEW

The general purpose of this program is to restore the livelihoods of affected persons same as or higher the rate before there is the implementation of the Project, and ensure that affected people adapt to new conditions.

In addition, there are 999 households, whose agricultural land is heavily affected households (over 20% of agricultural land and 10% for vulnerable) and 134 households having business affected. These households (999 severely affected by agricultural land loss plus 134 affected by business) have to be paid special attention during the income restoration program implementation. Many affected households still practice agricultural production.  However, according to the survey, an estimate of 51% households are currently living in agricultural occupations, in which 85% of their income come from other revenue sources such as business, services and freelance and a few are government staff. In general, DPs mostly live in the suburban under the urbanization conversion process and their income does not depend much on agricultural activities.

The DPs have been consulted through the questionnaires and community consultations, their views and opinions to the life restoration after resettlement is shown as follows:

8. CONSULTATION AND PARTICIPATION

8.1.Objectives And Policies

The main objectives of consultation and participation are to:

1. Ensure that all DPs and related agencies participate together in issuing decisions on involuntary resettlement matters;
2. Minimize negative impacts caused by involuntary resettlement; and
3. Avoid possible conflicts during Project implementation.

DPs shall be fully informed and carefully consulted on resettlement and compensation plans. Consulting DPs is the starting point for all activities related to resettlement. DPs may be afraid that they will lose their livelihood and community, or that they are not well prepared for complicated negotiations on their rights. Participation in creating the RAP and its management will help DPs relieve their worries and give them the opportunity to participate in what will affect their lives; implementing resettlement without consulting DPs is and improper and ineffective strategy. If DPs are consulted, and any objections to the Project can be timely dealt with.

• One of the important written documents towards strengthening democracy at the grassroots level in Vietnam is Instruction No. 30-CT/TW issued by the Central Committee of the Vietnamese Communist Party on the “Construction and implementation of a basic democratic regime,” and Decree No. 79/2003/ND-CP on the same topic. The key basis of this legal document is the well-known slogan: “people know, people discuss, people do, people check.”
• Ordinance No. 34/2007/PL-UBTVQH11 (replacing and terminating the effectiveness of Decree No. 79/2003/ND-CP) points out matters that need the comments from local authorities and communities before the relevant authority issues a decision including the preparation of  approach for compensation, assistance resettlement related to projects and works within the wards/communes.

Article 39, clause 2 of the 2003 Land law requires matters related to resettlement, such as reasons and plans for land acquisition, relocation, general compensation and site clearance plans to be published for DPs.

Even so, consultation and participation is an innovation in project implementation in Vietnam, and both local residents and officers in charge of project implementation lack experience in this field. The following points need to be focused on to encourage relevant agencies to participate in the Project's consultation process:

1. Determining and encouraging all related agencies, and especially DPs, to join in  consultation and participation;
2. Establishing strategies for them to participate in project planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation;
3. Explaining strategies and details for disseminating necessary information and propaganda, and establishing procedures to enable DPs to  define their entitlements;
4. Attracting related agencies to participate in making decisions at the different steps of Project implementation (e.g. modes of compensation, consulting DPs on compensation and implementation schedules, etc);
5. Setting up a schedule for activities such as providing information; compensation levels and modes; and establishing interests, locations and the relocation plan;
6. Establishing procedures for redressing grievances.

8.2       Consultation And Participation Procedure

Responsible Organizations: DPs will be informed by PMU about the responsibilities of all organizations and local governments concerned with resettlement, and the names and functions of relevant government officers along with their telephone numbers, office addresses and working hours (if any).

Implementation Schedule: DPs will be informed of the estimated schedule for major resettlement activities, and that construction can only begin when resettlement activities are completed and DPs have moved out of the Project area. It is necessary to emphasize that DPs should move timely when once they receive all compensations for their affected assets. Compensation Councils/Committees at all levels will be provided with maps and implementation schedules.

Publication:  

After having been approved by the City PC, the RAP will be publicized in at PMU, urban/rural district and commune/ward PCs, and on websites of WB information centers in Hanoi and Washington, D.C. and PMU’s website
