1. Introduction
1.1 Project BackgroundThe N5 Highway stretches across the Karachi-Lahore-Rawalpindi-Peshawar-Torkhamcorridor for over 1,760 km (see Exhibit 1.1 for a map of the project area). It is the mainartery connecting the provinces of NWFP, Punjab, and Sindh, and serves more than halfthe country's inter-city traffic. The Karachi-Hyderabad Super Highway (M9) provides ahigh-speed alternative route to the N5 from Karachi to Hyderabad at the southern end ofthe highway.
The continuing rise in road traffic in Pakistan has not been matched by the adequate ortimely maintenance and improvement of the country's highways and roads. The scaleand rate of degradation of the highway system has also had an adverse impact on thenational and human environment. The N5, which currently,supports the bulk of thecountry's commercial traffic, is a clear case in point.
The National Highways Improvement Program (NHIP) was developed to address theincreasing degradation of Pakistan's national highway system. Framedjointlyby theNational Highway Authority (NHA) and World Bank based on a strategic networkanalysis carried out using the Highway Design and Maintenance (HDM) module, theNHIP will be implemented in three phases over a ten-year period (2001-2010). Thehighway sections that fall under the NHIP have been divided into three groups prioritizedaccording to need and source of funding. The highway sections originally proposed forimprovement under Group I included 13 sections of the N5 and one 48 km-section of theKarachi-Hyderabad Super Highway (M9), aimed at upgrading roughly 1,100 km of roadaltogether.
However, in order to remain within the project budget, only 12 of these 14 sections willbe upgraded under the World Bank-financed Pakistan Highway Rehabilitation Project(PHRP). Exhibit 1.2 provides details of the highway proposed for improvement underGroup I of the NHIP. The PHRP, henceforth referred to as 'the project' in this do6ument,involves the rehabilitation of 534 km, and resurfacing of 336 km of highway, upgradingabout 870 km of road altogether in two phases. Exhibit 1.3 provides details of thesections (collectively referred to as the 'project corridor') proposed for improvementunder Phase 1.
From a social perspective, the potential negative impact of the project manifests itself inthe following: the physical relocation of those people settled within the project corridor;the loss of land and/or other physical assets; and loss of access to livelihood. Thisdocument examines the social factors that affect the development impact of Phase I of thePHRP, and describes strategies for compensation based on the principle that people shallnot suffer net losses as a result of the project, in accordance with Pakistani law and theWorld Bank's policy guidelines (see Scction 1.3).

1.2 Scope of Work
The highway sections proposed for improvement under Phase I of the project have beenclassified as either rehabilitation and n7aintenance projects (RMP) or resutfacing andstrengthening projects (RSP). RMP works include those sections of the project corridorthat need major reconstruction work, and the provision of public services in ribbondevelopment areas where necessary. These sections include:
* Karachi-Hyderabad
*- Hyderabad-Hala
* Hala-Moro
* Tumol-Chablat.
RSP works concern those sections of the project corridor that are already built accordingto design, and essentially require asphalt overlay to extend their service life. Thesesections include:
* Gujranwala-Kharian
*- Nowshera-Peshawar.
1.3 Resettlement and Land Acquisition
The proposed rehabilitation works under Phase I will be divided among nine contractpackages, covering the construction of additional carriageways, and involving

earthworks, drainage provision, and intersection remodeling. Land will be leased on atemporary basis for setting up campsites and for acquiring earth fill. Permanent landacquisition is not envisaged in Phase I, and as far as possible, highway construction willbe confined within the existing right of way (RoW) of the NHA (see Section 1.6.1). Atotal of 28 commercial structures, including 14 mobile vendor units, will need to berelocated under Phase I.
1.4 Regulatory RequirementsThe Land Acquisition Act, 1894, regulates the acquisition of land and built-up property,and damage to other assets such as crops, trees, and infrastructure. It recognizes onlyformal, registered title to land, and makes no provisions for people withinformal/unregistered or usufruct rights, who are likely to suffer loss of assets and/orlivelihood as a result of the project. However, the lack of legal tenure does not negate animpact or the need for mitigation.' Accordingly, the government's Draft ResettlementPolicy is intended to address the rehabilitation and resettlement of disrupted populationsand the restoration of their livelihoods, providing a basis for managing the resettlementneeds arising from the project. However, this policy has not yet been finalized.
The objective of the Bank's resettlement policy (Operational Directive 4.30) is to ensurethat the population displaced by a project is correspondingly benefited. Displacedpersons should be: (i) compensated for their losses at full replacement cost prior torelocation; (ii) assisted with relocation and supported during the transition period; and(iii) assisted in improving or at least, restoring their former living standards, incomeearning capacity, and production levels. These concerns are addressed in the entitlementpolicy framework outlined in Section 6.4. The Bank also requires communityparticipation in planning and implementing resettlement; this is described in Section 5."
1.5 Objectives of Social Assessment
The social assessment was carried out in order to:
* Identify stakeholders and impacts on indigenous people
*. Identify poor and vulnerable groups, and strategies to ensure that such groupsbenefit from the project
* Ensure adequate stakeholder consultation and participation.
Stakeholder identification is carried out to ascertain which groups of people are affectedby the project, and the extent of that impact, based on their proximity to the corridor.This requires the project corridor to be delineated as clearly as possible, and is describedin Section 1.6 below.

1.6 Delineation of Project Corridor
The project corridor is delineated according to two criteria: the right of way (RoW),which the NHA is legally entitled to, and the corridor of impact (CoI), ie, the width of thecorridor that will be impacted, directly or indirectly, by the project during theconstruction and operation phases. These are described in detail in the followingsections.
1.6.1 Delineating the Right of Way
The N5 and Karachi-Hyderabad Super Highway (M9) have well-defined RoWs thatrange from 35 to 1 10 m in width. The RoW varies from section to section and in somecases, even within a section. For each section, major construction work will generallyremain confined within the RoW, although temporary facilities may extend beyond it (seeSection 1.2).
1.6.2 Delineating the Corridor of Impact
For the purposes of this study, the Col has been divided into two zones, Col I and CoI 2.The social assessment is concerned largely with the CoI 1, which marks the limit withinwhich the direct impact of construction activities is expected to take place, ie, in thiscontext, the displacement or relocation of people. This limit will vary along the length ofthe project corridor according to site-specific conditions. The Col 1 limits for Phase Isections are surmmarized in Exhibit 1.4. The approach followed in delineating the Col 1for RMP sections is outlined below.
Open Areas
In areas where there are no squatter settlements within the RoW, the Col I will extend upto 2.5 m from the construction limit, ie, where the toe-ditch/drain along the embankmentunder the upgraded design ends.
Ribbon Development Areas
In areas where squatters have established businesses within the RoW, the Col I will bekept as close as possible to the construction limit. Given that ribbon developmenttypically extends about 200 or 300 m from the highway, construction work will not behindered since there is enough open area beyond the ribbon development strips for themovement of construction machinery. Most squatter-owned structures are temporarykiosks and their owners have indicated their willingness to shift farther away from theroadside once construction work begins.
Open Areas With Minor Ribbon Development
The Col 1 limit will be kept site-specific in opcn areas where odd settlements or minorribbon developments exist within the RoW. Where squatters have raised the level oftheir occupied area to the road level, the distance of the construction limit from thecentral line of the carriageway is much shorter than it would have been if theembankment were resting on natural ground. The Col 1 limit of 2.5 m from theconstruction limit fixed for open areas will therefore apply. However, where squatters'
3119/03 Introduction

Social Assessment ofPakirtan Highway Rehabilitation Project
structures are located on natural ground with enough margin for the construction of anembankment and toe ditch/drain, the CoI 1 limit will be kept as near the constructionlimit as possible in order to avoid unnecessary resettlement.

1.7 Identification of Stakeholder GroupsBased on the delineation of the project corridor described in Section 1.6, two groups ofstakeholders have been identified for the purposes of the social assessment. These are asfollows:
1. Project-affected persons (PAPs) resident or operating businesses within the CoI 1,and subject to a direct impact requiring relocation.
2. The general population resident or operating businesses along the projectcorridor, who may be subject to an indirect impact on their business operation oraccess to houses during the construction period
1.8 Report Structure
Section 2 outlines the research methodology used in this study; Section 3 presents theresults of the census documenting the number and status of project-affected personslocated within the Col; Section 4 provides a socioeconomic profile of a sample of thegeneral population settled within the RoW; Section 5 summarizes the main concernsraised by stakeholders during various public consultations; and Section 6 assesses theoverall social impact of the project and explains issues arising from land acquisition andresettlement.

2. Methodology
This section outlines the methodology used in collecting and analyzing data to assess thesocial impact of Phase I of the PHRP. The assessment is based on two surveys:
*' A socioeconomic baseline survey to develop an overall profile of the populationsettled along the project corridor.
* A census to document the number and economic status of project-affectedpersons (PAPs) settled in the Col 1(see Section 2.2).
Prior to these surveys, a reconnaissance level screening was carried out within the RoWto verify the presence of a project-affected population settled along the project corridor,and gauge the possible impact of the project in terms of loss of shelter and livelihood.This initial assessment was used to provide a background for the census andsocioeconomic baseline survey carried out subsequently.
The methodology used in carrying out and documenting the results of both surveys isdescribed in the following sections.
2.1 Socioeconomic Baseline Survey
A sample survey was carried out for each Phase I section, apart from Karachi-Hyderabad, in order to develop a socioeconomic baseline of the general populationsettled within the RoW of the project corridor. The purpose of these surveys was toprovide a collective baseline against which to appraise mitigation measures and support(see Section 5.5). In view of the time and budgetary constraints on this assessment, thesocioeconomic profile developed for RoW is taken as indicative of the profile of PAPswithin the Col.
2.1.1 Survey Components
The survey documented the following features of the sample population settled within theRoW:
* Demographic characteristics 2
* Education and literacy rates3
* Nature of business/occupation
* Annual and per capita income

*' Household expenditure patterns
* Access to credit
* Women's participation in household decision-making
* Housing characteristics and amenities
* Social infrastructure, eg, mosques, graveyards.
2.1.2 Survey ApproachData for the baseline surveys was collected through detailed focus group discussions andindividual interviews with the help of a structured questionnaire (form SA-1 3 attached aspart of Appendix A) that had been pre-tested in the field, and circulated within the NHAand World Bank. An average sample size of 17% was used to represent each Phase Isection.
2.2 Census of Project-Affected Persons
A 100% census was carried out for each of the Phase I sections apart from Karachi-Hyderabad and Nowshera-Peshawar, neither of which have any resident population orbusinesses located within the Col. The purpose of each census was to register anddocument the number and status of PAPs likely to be physically displaced as a result ofthe project and therefore entitled to compensation. This process helps to facilitatecompensation, resettlement and rehabilitation under the entitlement policy frameworkdiscussed in Section 6.4. The census included people occupying parts of the Col forshelter, business purposes, or other sources of livelihood.
2.2.1 Census Components
The census documented the following features of the Col:
* Number of PAPs settled within the Col
* Nature of business/occupation
. Types and value of structures/assets owned
* Replacement cost of structures/assets
* Ownership documentation, if any
* Annual and per capita income
* Vulnerable groups (identified as below the povcrty line)
* Alternative arrangements for resettlement, if any.
Project-affected persons were classified as one of the following:
1. Squatter-owners/business operators
2. Squatter-tenants/business operators
3. Squatter employees
3/19/03 Methodology2-2
Socia1Assessnient ofPakLtan Highway Rehabilitation Project
4. Absentee owners
5. Encroachers.
The date of each census will be considered as the cut-off date for entitlements (seeSection 6.4) under the project, to determine who may be entitled to support. Peoplemoving into the Col after this cut-off date will not be entitled to any compensation.
In addition, the census documented a number of suitable resettlement sites within theRoW and in close proximity to areas where the displacement of people was likely.
2.2.2 Census Approach
Data for the census was collected through detailed focus group discussions and individualinterviews with the help of structured questionnaires that were pre-tested in the field, andcirculated within the NHA and World Bank. Forms SA-I 1 and SA-12 were used totarget squatter residents (both owners and tenants) and squatter business operators (bothowners and tenants).4 Both forns are attached as part of Appendix A.
The following steps were taken to ensure as great a level of accuracy as possible:
o The CoI was demarcated by NHA-appointed engineering consultants and furtherverified by environmental assessment consultants.
* Interviews/group discussions were carried out as efficiently as possible bypublicizing times and venues convenient to most of the local population.
Each census was carried out by a four-member team consisting of sociologistsresponsible for documenting socioeconomic parameters; and engineers managingtechnical data such as the demarcation of the Col, and details regarding structures,replacement cost, and physical measurements.
4 Although two different forms were used, it was found thal all squatter residents settled within the Col alsooperated businesses (see Section 4).

3. Socioeconomic Profile of Project-AffectedPersons
This section presents the collective results of the socioeconomic baseline surveys carriedout for sample populations settled along the following Phase I sections:
* Hyderabad-Hala
* Hala-Moro
* Turnol-Chablat
* Gujranwala-Kharian
* Nowshera-Peshawar.
As discussed in Section 2.1, the purpose of the sample surveys was to build asocioeconomic baseline of the population settled within the RoW of the project corridor,in order to create an indicative profile of PAPs located in the Col, and provide acollective baseline against which to appraise mitigation measures and support (seeSection 5.4).
3.1 Demographic Profile
The proportion of male to females among the sample population was found to be in therange of 56.3-63.8% and 29.6-43.8%, respectively, along different highway sections.The average number of family members per household was calculated to be 6.3, rangingbetween 4.0 on the Hyderabad-Hala section, to 8.0 on the Nowshera-Peshawar section.The literacy rate among the sample population ranges between 33 to 51% among men,and is almost half that among women. Detailed demographic information for the Phase Isections is included in Exhibit 3.1.

Recent studies in Pakistan mark the average income at the poverty line at Rs 7,800 perperson per year. Based on this benchmark and the average household size of each section(see Section 4.1), PAPs on the Hyderabad-Hala section who earn a monthly income lessthan Rs 3,835, and those on the Hala-Moro section who earn a monthly income less thanRs 3,575, will be classified as 'vulnerable' (see Exhibits 4.2 and 4.3 for the individualmonthly income of each PAP). As indicated in Exhibit 4.4, 82% of the total number ofPAPs under Phase I fall under this category.
4.2 Commercial Structures Within the Col

4.2.1 Replacement Cost of Structures
The replacement cost of the structures owned by PAPs was calculated to assess theirpayable replacement cost (see Exhibit 4.15). Exhibits 4.2 and 4.3 indicate the individualreplacement cost of each PAP-owned structure). The total replacement cost for structureson the Hyderabad-Hala section was estimated at Rs. 54,700 (collectively for twothatched sheds); and Rs. 328,540 (collectively for for four shops, one shop cum thatchedshed, one thatched shed, and two kiosks) on the Hala-Moro section. These structures donot include encroachments.
No replacement cost was calculated for mobile vendors, whose existing structures, aspreviously mentioned, can be moved out of the Col and further back within the RoW.
4.2.2 Ownership Documentation
Only five PAPs claimed to have documents confirming their ownership of the structuresthey operated, but none were actually willing to present these documents to the survey

team for inspection. The remaining PAPs settled within the Col owned no ownershipdocumentation.
4.2.3 Alternative Arrangements for Resettlement
The survey also examined the extent to which PAPs may be able to arrange alternativeresettlement sites for themselves before construction on the highway was started. Onlyfive PAPs indicated that they could manage such arrangements, implying that theoverwhelming majority of PAPs and their families will need assistance in resettlement.
As per project policy, PAPs who already have an alternative place in which to resettlewill also be eligible for compensation, but will be allowed to resettle in the area they havearranged of their own accord, should they so choose.

* Focus group discussions held with general highway users, including transportpassengers, vehicle drivers, roadside shopkeepers, and passersby.
Exhibit 5.1 provides a summary of the meetings held with respect to date, venue andstakeholder participation. These include an overview of the procedures used to identifystakeholders, disseminate project information, and record public concerns. Appendix Bprovides detailed records of the public consultations held.
5.1 General Stakeholder Workshops
Stakeholder workshops were organized by the EIA consultants to discuss project specificissues. The Association of Road Users of Pakistan (ARUP) organized a series of regionaldiscussions in 2000 that have provided valuable inputs for design of the project. Theprocess and the outcomes of these workshops are discussed below.
5.1.1 Workshops Organized by EIA Consultants
The EIA Consultants organized two regional stakeholders' meetings, one in Hyderabadfor Sindh-based stakeholders, and another in Lahore for Punjab- and NWFP-basedstakeholders. The participants included government and NGO representatives,environmental field specialists, engineers, road contractors, highway users, and a cross-section of project-affected persons (PAPs), such as roadside vendors and shopkeepers,squatters, and petrol pump dealers. The meetings were publicized with the help of thedistrict administration, union councils, personal contacts, and broadcast media.

Social Asessment of Pakistan Highway Rehabilitation Project
The concerns raised by the participants are listed below.
* General dissatisfaction with travel time and lack of adequatecautionary/information signage and markings.
*. Restricted mobility, particularly for women, caused by lack of rural roads andinadequate public transport.
* Delays in implementing road construction/rehabilitation projects.
*o Lack of rest areas and toilet facilities along the highway.
*. High accident risk to highway users and unacceptable delays in treating accidentvictims.
*. Exposure of surrounding population to excessive emissions and noise generatedby vehicles and construction equipment
*. Inadequate vigilance in identifying and addressing adverse project effects onpeople's health, safety, and access.
* No feedback mechanism to encourage effective beneficiary participation.
* Loss of agricultural land and natural habitats.
o. Inadequate and delayed compensation payments.
*. Delayed compensation for loss of livelihood.
* Socioeconomic impact of migrant construction labor.
*. Risk to places of cultural value.
5.2 Scoping Sessions
A series of scoping sessions and focus group discussions were carried out with localcommunities and local government representatives. The meetings were held at varioussites along the project corridor (for location details, see Exhibit 5.1).
Generally, people were found to be aware of the need to upgrade the highway, andindicated their support for the NHA. The proposed construction of the additionalcarriageway met with particular support since it will reduce traffic congestion and otherroad hazards near settlements along the project corridor. Local communities demandedthat they be part of a continuous consultation process with other stakeholders at differentstages of the project including the design, construction, and operation periods.

SocialAssessment of Pakistan Highway Rehabilitation Project
The most commonly raised concerns are listed below:
Highway Design
o Improve general standards of construction.
* Facilitate pedestrian and animal crossing by avoiding a difference in levelbetween the ACW, ECW, and median.
* Help abate dust emissions by concreting road shoulders.
* Avoid constructing sharp road curves.
* Construct service lanes and U-turns where required, and bypasses nearsettlements.
* Erect pedestrian overhead bridges, particularly near schools, hospitals, and criticalpoints, along with a fence or partition wall in between carriageways.
*. Provide drain outlets to help drain away runoff from the highway, particularly inareas where road level is higher than that of surrounding settlements.
*. Provide footpaths and lanes for slow-moving traffic, particularly cyclists.
> Build bus bays, passenger shelters, and parking areas, particularly for rickshaws.
* Provide rest areas and toilet facilities along the highway.
o Plant trees along the highway that could be entrusted to the care of localcommunities.
Highway Construction
* Avoid undue delays in road-construction and ensure that project works are carriedout in one stretch rather than in piecemeal manner.
*. Ensure that the contractor does-not use private land for parking constructionmachinery.
S
* Avoid dumping construction material along the highway and median.
* Adopt measures to minimize dust, smoke, and noise pollution, and to con;rolspillages from construction machinery.
* Provide proper diversions for traffic during construction to avoid trafficcongestion, related hazards, and dust emissions.
Highway Operation
o Provide medical aid centers along the highway to treat road accident emergencies.
* Erect cautionary and information signs.
* Control over-speeding, overloading, traffic disordcrs and violations of trafficregulations; construct speed breakers where required.
* Prohibit commercial vendors and squatters from encroaching on the RoW.
* Ensure that cross-drainage pipes and culverts are regularly cleaned.
03/19/03 Public Consuitation5-6
Social A.v.sessment of Pakistan Highway Rehabilitation Project
* Regularly remove accumulated piles of rubbish from the RoW.
Land Acquisition and Resettlement-Related Concems
* Squatters should be resettled before construction works begin. Most squatters arewilling to move from their present locations provided alternative land is madeavailable nearby within the RoW on which to erect their structures
* They held that in addition to compensation for the structures removed, additionalfinancial assistance was required to erect structures at new locations. Squatters inLala Musa have indicated they are willing to adopt the resettlement optionproposed for Dina.
*' Compensation should be fair, paid promptly, and subject to transparency. PAPshave complained of not receiving compensation even after the ACW had beenconstructed.
* The acquisition of further land should be avoided. Where necessary, acquisitionshould be carried out in accordance with the law. The acquired land should bepossessed only once the compensation payment is made.
*. Public consultation should be an integral part of the land acquisition process.
5.3 Roadside ConsultationsRoadside consultations were carried out mainly with pedestrians, vehicle drivers, publictransport passengers, roadside vendors and shopkeepers, local inhabitants, governmentofficials, and NGO representatives at various locations (see Exhibit 5.1). Most of theconcerns raised were similar to those discussed during the scoping scssions described inSection 5.2. Additional issues brought up in these polls are listed below:
Highway Design
*. Contractors hired from outside are unfamiliar with local conditions and cannottailor their work to local requirements.
* Rains have damaged the existing road shoulders, making overtaking verydangerous.
* Protective walls are needed on both sides of the road.
Highway Construction
* The presence of migrant labor restricts the movement of local women working innearby fields.
* Oil spills from overturned oil tankers destroy standing crops in adjoiningagricultural fields and damage land.
Highway Operation
* The lack of traffic law enforcement encourages careless driving.
03/19/03 Public Consultation5-7
Social Assessment of PakLitan Highway Rehabilitation Project
* Careless tractor drivers moving onto the highway are a hazard to fast movingvehicles.
* Bus drivers do not refrain from blowing their horns even near sensitive locations,such as schools or hospitals.
*. Carts and vehicles occasionally park under the shade of roadside trees, obstructingtraffic en route and causing accidents.
*. Trolleys overloaded with sugarcane and cotton harvests tend to occupy the entirewidth of the road, which often causes accidents.
* There are no streetlights to facilitate night driving through towns/settlements,raising the risk of accidents.
* Pedestrians tend to lack road sense.
* Ploughs fitted on tractors cause deep trenching on the road surface when crossingthe highway.
* There are not enough first aid or medical centers near the RoW and road accidentvictims often remain untended for hours.
* The highway provides a safe escape route to dacoits who frequently operate in thevillages.
5.4 Resettlement Issues
In analyzing various resettlement options, a study was carried out among the PAPs settledin Dina and Gujar Khan in Punjab. Twenty people were interviewed in Gujar Khan andeight in Dina. The feedback received is described below:
Gujar khan
People here are generally dissatisfied with the resettlement plan provided by NHA. Theyconsider the cost being charged for new roadside structures (Rs 30,000),to be far too highand disproportionate to their incomes. A down payment of Rs 5,000 is required and theremaining cost is to be recovered in monthly installments of Rs 1,000, in addition to amonthly Rs 1,000 rent. The structures provided are currently incomplete, eg, they lackpartition walls and other amenities, such as electricity. This problem has beencompounded by the fact that the monthly income of affected vendors has fallen as a resultof a change of location and the existence of an open drain in front of their new kiosks.
At the same time, people have indicated their appreciation of this arrangement in spite ofits accompanying problems. Previously the police and local administration frequentlydemanded they shift their kiosks elsewhere or extracted bribes for allowing them to stay.This practice has now ceased, although the people here have been warned that they mayhave to be relocated when the need arises.
Dina
Although some 104 PAPs have already been resettled in Gujar Khan, only 14 out of atotal of over 200 have so far been resettled in Dina. The resettlement model for Dina
a/ig,03 Public Consultation
5-8
Social Assetsment ofPakistan Highway Rehabilitation Project
differs from that for Gujar Khan in that PAPs have been allocated an area withoutproviding them with new structures. They have erected steel structures of their own inaccordance with the design provided by the National Logistics Cell (NLC). Thesestructures have cost them Rs 10,000 to 12,000 each. Procuring these structures hascaused them financial hardship, given that this arrangement did not come into effect untila year after they moved during which time they had no source of income. People alsoexpressed the following reservations:
* Most PAPs had enjoyed commercial success at their original location at theintersection of Mangla Road and the N5. Having now been relocated, theirbusinesses have suffered drastically. They believe that sufficient space isavailable at the old location and they would prefer to move back to their originallocation.
* Customers normally consider mobile vendors to sell goods at cheaper rates thanestablished shopkeepers. Now that PAPs have moved to proper shops, theirbusiness volume has gone down as a result of increased competition.
*. A common complaint is that steel structures with steel roofs were uncomfortableduring summer as well as winter. Most people preferred the idea of a fiberglassroof similar to those provided in Gujar Khan. For this, they will need financialassistance from the NHA, as fiberglass roofs are more expensive.
* A representative of the displaced persons stressed that although sufficient areahad been officially allocated for the resettlement of about 100 PAPs, theresettlement was proceeding very slowly.
The reservations put forward by the PAPs surveyed in Gujar Khan and Dina have beenincorporated as far as possible, into the entitlement policy framework discussed inSection 6.4.
5.5 Address of Stakeholder Concerns
The concerns raised by stakeholders have been incorporated into the project'senvironmental and social assessment as described below.
Highway Design
The contractor and supervision consultants will include the following environmental andsafety provisions in the project design:
* Highway safety audits and improved road markings/signage and demarcation ofaccident-prone junctions in order to improve the horizontal and vertical geometry,and reduce conflicting movement during opcration, particularly along inhabitedstretches of road.
* Improved intersections on side roads and village tracks in order to eliminatebottlenecks.
* Roadside furniture and traffic control devices, including information andcautionary signs, signals, traffic diversion and flow markings, to ensure pedestriansafety during construction and operation.
019/03 Public Consultation5-9
SocialAssessment of Pak}vtan H-ighwayRehablditation Project
* Public facilities, including bus bays with passenger waiting sheds and latrines,service lanes, footpaths, pedestrian-crossing facilities, and fences.
* A tree plantation program to compensate for the anticipated loss of vegetationduring construction activities, and to help abate pollution caused by emissions,dust, and noise during highway operation.
* Outfalls for the highway median and side drains to divert surface run-off from thecarriageway, and protect ribbon development areas and settlements.
Highway Construction
The following measures will be carried out in order to protect surrounding communitiesfrom the expected impact of construction:
*. Project facilities will be located at a minimum distance of 500 m from existingsettlements and built-up areas in order to avoid restricting the mobility of localwomen.
* Construction vehicles will remain confined within their designated areas ofmovement.
* Sensitivity towards local customs and traditions will be encouraged to minimizesocial friction; good relations with local communities will be promoted byencouraging contractors to provide opportunities for skilled and unskilledemployment to locals, as well as on-the-job training in construction for youngpeople.
* Soil erosion will be minimized by protecting low embankments by plantingindigenous grasses, and high embankments by constructing stone pitching or ariprap across the embankment.
* The NHA is bound to comply with PAK-EPA regulations concerning pollutionand industrial water disposal.
* The entitlement policy framework for the project incorporates stakeholderconsultation as part of the resettlement plan.
* The loss of privately owned land or built-up property will be compensated on areplacement-cost basis.
* The contractor will be required to ensure that construction work does not hinderlocal people's access to the highway and their ability to cross it safely.Constructing temporary ramps and diversion routes will facilitate pedestrians andlivestock when crossing the highway.
* Solid waste generated during construction and at campsites will be properlytreated and safely disposed of only in demarcated waste disposal sites approvedby the supervision consultant.
* The contractors will be required to instruct and train their workforce in the storageand handling of materials and chemicals that can potentially cause soilcontamination.
03119/03 Public Consultation5-10
Social Assevsment ofPaklitan Highway Rehabilitation Project
*. The contractor will raise the level of boundary walls or construct new walls forbuildings surrounding sensitive receptors such as schools and hospitals, to reducethe impact of noise generated during construction and operation.
* All necessary measures will be taken to ensure the safety of traffic duringconstruction, including barricades (including signs, pavement markings, flags, andlights) erected as required by the NHA/NHMP. All such barricades will be set upas per local regulations.
Highway Operation
* The NHA will work closely with the newly established National Highway andMotorway Police (NHMP) to ensure that drivers as well as pedestrians observetraffic rules and that the safety of the pedestrians is not compromised.
* Traffic management plans will be prepared and implemented in conjunction withthe NIMP and roadside commuters to reduce congestion and traffic hazards.
* The NHA in conjunction with the NHMP will initiate a road safety awarenesscampaign among roadside communities settled along project reaches.

6. Land Acquisition, Resettlement, andCompensation
This section addresses the issues that wifl arise as a result of land acquisition andresettlement of squatters currently located within the project corridor's RoW.
6.1 Land Requirements and Occupation
Encroachments and squatting within the RoW is common on almost all sections of theproject corridor. Squatter settlements are those that fall entirely within the RoW ie,occupy public land but do not own adjacent or other land or assets; by definition,squatters are generally classified as poor and vulnerable. The squatter settlements locatedalong the project corridor are primarily concentrated in areas where rural settlements andtowns are located fairly close to the highway. These settlements are generallycommercial in nature, and rarely residential. Encroachers are property or landownerswho have occupied a portion of public land by extending their existing adjacent landholdings into the RoW; they are not normally entitled to support, unless classified asvulnerable.
As far as possible, the existing and additional carriageways under Phase I of the projectwill be upgraded within the existing RoW.
6.2 Process of Land Acquisition
For the purposes of the project, land acquisition will proceed in accordance with the LandAcquisition Act (LAA), 1894; the process of acquisition is described below:
* Under Section 4 of the LAA, the acquiring department submits an application tothe land acquisition collector (LAC) for the acquisition of land. The notification'spublication date fixes the date for determining the market value of the land underacquisition. 0
* Following the publication of notification, land may be acquired through privatenegotiation or compulsory acquisition. &
*. The area's commissioner issues notification of the intent to acquire land for apublic purpose under Section 5, following which, any party interested in that landmay object to the acquisition within 30 days of the notification. This grievanceredressal mechanism allows people to lodge applications to rectify ownershiprecords where necessary, delete the property of an individual from acquisition, orregister any objections to the proposed land acquisition.
* A final declaration stipulating that a specific plot of land is required for a publicpurpose is issued by the provincial government under Section 6, within sixmonths of the publication of notification under Section 5.
03/19/03 Land Acquisition, Resettlement, and Compensation
6-1
SocialAssevsment ofPakistan Highway Rehabilitation Project
i Under Section 7, the LAC is given jurisdiction to acquire the land, followingwhich, under Section 8, he is bound to re-demarcate the land required inaccordance with changes in ownership records or valid objections raised byaffected parties.
* Sections 8, 9, and 10 allow interested parties to put in claims for compensation,raise any further objections to the acquisition, and ascertain the names of anyparties possessing any interest in the land.
*o The LAC makes his award under Section 1 1, stipulating the correct area of theland, and the amount and apportionment of compensation among interestedparties.
i* Under Section 16, the government becomes owner of the land on takingpossession, which under the LAA, is not conditional upon the payment ofcompensation.
6.3 Impact on Squatters' Settlements
6.3.1 Demarcation of Area of Impact
The Col 1 marks the limit within which the direct impact of construction activities islikely to occur. This limit will vary along the length of the project corridor according tosite-specific conditions, and squatters located within this area will need to be relocated.A documented 588 squatters' structures lie within the RoW of the Phase I sections; ofthese, only 28 will need to be relocated during rehabilitation works under Phase I(Section 6.4 explains how many of these structures will be compensated). Field surveyscarried out in seven of the highway sections proposed for improvement indicate thatconstruction works will not disrupt any public infrastructure under Phase I.
In areas of ribbon development where squatters have established businesses within theRoW, the Col 1 will be kept as close as possible to the construction limit. In open areaswith minor ribbon development, where squatters have raised the level of their occupiedarea to the road level, the distance of the construction limit from the central line of thecarriageway is much shorter than it would have been if the embankment were resting onnatural ground. The CoI I limit of 2.5 m from the construction limit fixed for open areaswill therefore apply. However, where squatters' structures are located on naturabgroundwith enough margin for the construction of an embankment and toe ditch/drain, the Col Ilimit will be kept as near the construction limit as possible in order to avoid unnecessaryresettlement.
6.3.2 Displacement of Squatters Under Phase I
Of the six sections that fall under Phase I, only two sections, ie, Hyderabad-Hala andHala-Moro have squatters' structures locatcd within the Col 1. Exhibit 6.1 depictssection-wise statistics for the various types of squatters' structures falling within the Col1 of the project corridor's Phase I sections. Their details are as follows:
>. Of 65 structures located within the RoW of the Hyderabad-Hala section, 16structures, ie, 14 mobile vendor units and two thatched sheds fall in the Col 1.
03119/03 Land Acquisition, Resettlement, and Compensation6-2
Social Assessment ofPakistan Highway Rehabilitation Project
*. Of 179 structures located within the RoW of the Hala-Moro section, only 12 willbe affected. These include fourpucca (brick-built) shops, five shop cum thatchedsheds, two kiosks, and one thatched shed.
* The remaining Phase I sections, ie, Karachi-Hyderabad, Gujranwala-Kharian,Turnol-Chablat, and Nowshera-Peshawar, have no squatters' structures fallingwithin the CoI 1.
In total, 28 structures and the business income of 36 PAPs, ie, 26 squatter-owners, twosquatter-tenants, six squatter-employees, and two absentee owners, will be affected oncetheir commercial facilities are removed from the Hyderabad-Hala and Hala-Morosections (see Exhibits 6.2 and 6.3 for details).
The project's RSP contracts will not entail any resettlement since all squatters'settlements lie outside the Col I limit.

6.4 Entitlement Policy Framework Under Resettlement Plan
The governing legislation governing land acquisition and compensation is the LandAcquisition Act, 1894. The LAA is limited to a cash compensation policy for theacquisition of land and built-up property, and damage to other assets such as crops, trees,and infrastructure. The LAA does not take into account the rehabilitation andresettlement of displaced populations and the restoration of their livelihoods.
To address these concerns, a Draft National Resettlement Policy and related DraftNational Resettlement Ordinance were prepared following a national consultativeprocess. Both World Bank policies on resettlement as well as the Draft NationalResettlement Policy provide full protection to squatters. Taking into account therequirements of the LAA, the Draft National Resettlement Policy, and World Bankpolicies, an entitlement policy framework was developed to define compensation for theacquisition of land and built-up property and for resettling project-affected persons(PAPs) operating within the Col 1, and therefore subject to involuntary relocation. Thisis summarized in matrix form in Exhibit 6.4.
The basic principles of the entitlement framework are as follows:
* The NHA will ensure that as far as possible, squatters' business earnings are notaffected by resettlement.
* The NHA will help shift affected squatters to the nearest possible location withinthe RoW, and provide altemative structures to squatters whose original structurescannot be moved any further back into the RoW
*- The owners of affected structures will be allowed to salvage their buildingmaterial.
* Squatters will be provided an income safety net cushioning them against potentialdelays in re-establishing them at alternative sites.
*. Encroachments, ie, structures that have been established on proprietary land, partof which extends into the RoW, will removed without any compensation.
Under the entitlement policy framework matrix, the categories of 'loss'^entitlingcompensation are defined as follows.
*. Privately owned land
*. Privately owned, built-up property
* Squatters' commercial structures within the Col
* Trees within a residential/commercial compound
o Squatter-owned utilities
*. Buildings or structures of cultural or religious significance.
Each is described in more detail below.
03119/03 Land Acquisition, Resettlement, and Compensation6-8
Social Assessment of Pakistan Highway Rehabilitation Project
Loss of Squafter-Owned AssetsSquatters who own any fixed assets, such as hand pumps or boundary walls, that fallwithin CoI 1 will allowed to salvage the facilities before they are demolished, and helpedto shift these facilities within 5 ln of the original location.
Loss of Trees Within ResidentiallCommercial CompoundSquatters who either own or rent a compound encompassing trees that need to be clearedwill be allowed to salvage the wood before the trees are cleared.
Loss of Culturally Signiricant BuildingsShould any structures of religious or cultural significance need to be demolished, theNHA will compensate the existing mosque committee or Imam on a replacement-costbasis. The NHA will also arrange a space at the nearest appropriate location to re-establish the facility, and provide assistance in shifting any salvageable material. In thecase of graves, the LAC will finance the shifting of the graves by authorized communityrepresentatives.
6.4.1 Extent of Resettlement Under Phase I
As shown in Exhibit 6.1, the total number of structures located within the Col numbers16 on the Hyderabad-Hala and 12 on the Hala-Moro section. 14 of these structures aremobile, ie, operated by mobile vendors, and can be moved out of the Col and furtherback within the RoW without incurring any damage. The NRA will compensate and helpresettle the owners of a further ten structures that need to be dismantled. All 24businesses will be entitled to assistance with shifting. The remaining four structures areencroachments and will be removed without compensation or assistance.
O3/i1I03 Land Acquisition, Resettlement, and Compensation6-10
Social Assessment of Pakistan Highway Rehabilitation Project
Loss of Privately Owned Land
The owner will be entitled to cash compensation for the loss of privately owned land, theownership of which will be verified on the basis of the current record of rights with theprovincial Board of Revenue. The LAC, in consultation with the stakeholders concermed,will value the land based on its current market value, land type, productivity and locationunder Section 11 of the LAA. The NHA and LAC will assess the value of the land on thebasis of the most recent survey carried out by provincial revenue staff. Once this valuehas been established, the NHA will be responsible for disbursing all compensationpayments.
If the loss extends to area under crops or trees, the concerned government departments,eg, the provincial agriculture or forest departrnent, will value these assets on the basis ofthe most recent survey. In addition to the market value of the land, the project-affectedperson will be entitled to an additional sum of 15% of the land value in case ofcompulsory acquisition.
Loss of Privately Owned, Built-up Property
The owner will be entitled to cash compensation on a replacement-cost basis for the lossof privately owned, built-up property, the ownership of which will be verified on thebasis of the provincial excise and taxation record in the case of urban property, and saledeeds/utility bills in the case of rural property. The value of the property will be assessednet of the value of salvaged material and include the cost of shifting.
As above, the NHA will be responsible for disbursing all compensation payments. Thecontractor will not demolish the structure until the compensation amount has beenreleased.
Loss of Squatters' Commercial Structures Within Col 1
Squatters who own and run a commercial business that falls within the Col 1 will be re-established at a location as near as possible within the RoW. Squatters whose structurescannot be moved any further back into the RoW will be provided new kiosks, leased bythe NRA under arrangements with the local administration to provide utilities to thesesettlements. Isolated kiosks that fall in areas that are not serviced will We leased tosquatters at adjusted rates to compensate for this lack of services. Squatter-owners willalso be allowed to salvage their structure material, and helped to shift their persoaalbelongings to their new location by the NRA.
In order to ensure that squatters' business earnings are not affected by their displacement,they will be given two months' notice before being relocated. In addition, should therebe any delay in resettlement, squatters will be provided livelihood assistance at a givenrate until such time that their new kiosks are ready for occupation. In order to protectsquatters' employees, this assistance will be made conditional on workers being retainedby their present squatter-employers.
Squatter-tenants who run a commercial business that falls within the Col 1 will beentitled to the same facilities described above, apart from the salvage of buildingmaterial. Absentee squatter-owners who are not currently running a business within theCol 1 will only be entitled to salvage their structure material.

6.5 Resettlement Monitoring Plan
The approach to be adopted for monitoring of resettlement will be similar to thearrangements successfully tested by the NHA under previous projects with the localauthorities in Punjab and NWFP. The General Manager Lands/Environment (GM LE)will be responsible for supervising the resettlement program under the entitlement policyframework presented in Exhibit 6.4, and conducting surveys to determine resettlementrequirements.
A resettlement committee consisting of the Deputy Director Maintenance, DeputyManager'Environment, and the Land Acquisition Collector will be appointed to monitorthe resettlement process and to ensure that it conforms to the entitlement policyframework adopted for the project Specifically, the resettlement committee will ensurethat the following activities are carried out transparently and according to acceptablestandards:
* Verifying project-affected persons, specifically squatters, on the basis of theirnational identity card numbers/photographs to ensure that only those PAPsrecorded during the census survey are allowed to claim entitlement benefits (seeExhibits 6.1 to 6.3).
* Identifying which public facilities and utilities need to be relocated
* Identifying suitable relocation sites
*o Signing leases and recording compensation payments in case of delays
* Providing shifting assistance to displaced squatters.
* Verifying that the amount to be paid as compensation and the schedule ofcompensation is in conformity with the provisions of the entitlement policyframework.
*. Recording and addressing the concerns of PAPs during and after resettlement.
Given the wide expanse of the project area, it will not be possible to engage a singleNGO to oversee resettlement as a third-party monitor. Instead, the coneerned area's localauthorities, ie, elected local bodies and administration will be assigned this responsibility,aided by community-based organizations (CBO), where available. The GM LE'sbofficewill liaise with CBO representatives and organize a joint committee to overseeresettlement activities.
6.6 Institutional Arrangements
Institutional arrangements and responsibilities for land acquisition and resettlement aredescribed in Exhibit 6.4. The staff of the GM LE will be responsible for managing landacquisition and resettlement on bchalf of the NHA. The Land Acquisition Collector,supported by a valuation committee will determine the value of the land, while theprovincial revenue department staff will assess the value of trees/assets on the land to beacquired.
03/19/03 Land Acquisition, Resettlement, and Compensation6-16
Social Asessment of Pakistan Highway Rehabilitation Project
The NHA will be responsible for the valuation of built-up property, and will also beresponsible for providing compensation for acquired land, property and structures.
The following activities will be carried out in collaboration among the contractors, andthe staff of the NHA Project Director and General Managers (Provinces), the LandAcquisition Collector, and stakeholder/community representatives:
* Compensation for the loss of privately owned land and built-up property
o Construction of new kiosks for displaced squatters, provision of shiftingasistance, and subsequent leasing arrangements
* Relocation of existing public and community-owned utilities that fall within theCol 1
* Relocation of all culturally significant structures falling within the CoI 1.
6.7 Proposed Resettlement Budget
Under Phase I, ten new kiosks will be constructed to accommodate displaced squatterswhose structures cannot be moved any further back from their current location in theRoW. The remaining 14 of 24 squatters, whose structures are mobile and can be movedfurther back into the RoW without requiring further relocation, will be provided onlyshifting assistance. The cost of PAPs' resettlement under Phase I (including livelihoodassistance if required) is estimated at Rs 678,000, and includes a contingency sum of Rs154,000. In addition, a provisional sum of Rs 6,646,000 has been earmarked forrelocating public utilities, mosques and graves that could potentially be affected in theRoW. The proposed total resettlement budget for Phase I will therefore be Rs 7,324,000.
Exhibit 6.5 provides a breakdown of the proposed resettlement costs under Phase I of theproject.
