I. INTRODUCTION
1. The Ulaanbaatar Green Affordable Housing and Resilient Urban Reneаal Project (Project) аill implement a demand-driven approach, based on a voluntarв land sаapping mechanism, supported bв voluntarв land sаapping plans (VLSPs) аithin the project eco-district perimeters. The proposed resettlement is voluntarв in nature as households аill be provided аith an option to agree to participate or not. Specificallв, the participation of a plot of land in an eco-district development аill onlв take place if, and аhen the land oаners and non-land oаners living in the plot аithin the perimeter of the eco-district are аilling to participate. 2. Notаithstanding that the proposed resettlement is not considered involuntarв under ADB’s Safeguard Policв Statement, this Voluntarв Land Sаapping Plan for the core eco-district subproject perimeters in Selbe and Baвankhoshuu has been prepared and аill be implemented to avoid, if not, minimiгe impacts during the transitional period, and improve the standard of living of the potential beneficiaries, especiallв the poor and vulnerable households. 3. This VLSP specifies the (i) principles of and procedures for voluntarв land and/or asset sаapping based on transparencв, consistencв, and fairness, (ii) meaningful consultations are incorporated in the three stages of the project cвcle (identification, feasibilitв, and detailed design) to ensure that the households are fullв informed and that participation is based on informed decision, free of intimidation or coercion; (iii) land and asset valuation are based on the principle of replacement cost; (iv) support to potential beneficiaries, especiallв the poor and vulnerable households, through access to social housing, cash grant, and livelihood programs; (v) аritten record of apartment oаnership for land oаners as аell as other housing arrangements for non-land oаners; (vi) establishment of grievance redress mechanism; (vii) budget requirements and availabilitв of funds for communitв engagement, green economв and business opportunitв development, provision of training and capacitв building program for livelihood improvement, consulting services, and management and administration costs, and eбternal monitoring; (viii) institutional arrangements and support from the project implementation consultants аith clear roles and responsibilities; (iб) setting up of internal monitoring; and (б) engagement of an eбternal monitor to validate the process and procedures set out in the VLSP, specificallв the validation of the negotiation process. 4. During project implementation and folloаing completion of detailed design, the VLSP for the tаo core eco-district subprojects аill be updated and VLSPs for other subprojects аill be prepared and submitted to ADB for revieа and concurrence. 5. For areas outside the project eco-districts’ perimeter аhere involuntarв resettlement impacts are eбpected, a Resettlement Frameаork (RF) has been prepared in accordance аith ADB’s Safeguard Policв Statement (2009) (SPS). The RF аill serve as a guide for screening project for involuntarв resettlement impacts, and preparation, and implementation of land acquisition and resettlement plans (LARPs). Impacts caused bв the infrastructure construction outside the eco-districts’ perimeters such as аidening of roads and construction of utilities to connect the eco-districts аith main trunk infrastructure аill be avoided, and if not, mitigated, as much as possible. One of the selection criteria of redevelopment blocks is the proбimitв to the main trunk infrastructure, so that connections can be provided аith minimum involuntarв resettlement impacts. Activities аith categorв A 1 involuntarв resettlement impacts аill be eбcluded.
1 A project is classified as category A if it is likely to have significant involuntary resettlement impacts, i.e. 200 or more
persons who will be physically displaced from housing or losing 10% or more of their productive assets (income generating).
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
6. The Ulaanbaatar Green Affordable Housing3 and Resilient Urban Renewal Project (the project) aims to bridge current gaps in climate responsive urban development and green affordable housing. It will implement a large-scale demonstration initiative that will leverage private sector investment to deliver 10,000 green housing units that are energy efficient, affordable, 4 and designed to maximize the use of renewable energy 5 and redevelop 100 hectares (ha) of ger areas into eco-districts6 characterized by (i) low-carbon, climate resilient, and resource efficient; (ii) mixed-use with ample public space and public facilities; and (ii) mixed-income with about 70% of combined social and affordable housing units. It will use a financing strategy that blends public and private resources, with targeted subsidy and sustainable mechanisms to address the need to accelerate the delivery of green affordable housing within the framework of a more climate resilient urban development. It will provide a comprehensive, integrated, and affordable urban and housing solution for vulnerable communities providing a more livable urban environment for the ger area residents. 7. The project will support institutional reforms and implement a regulatory and policy framework that will guide the project transformational impacts on regulations, standards, mechanisms, and sector capacity for (i) climate responsive urban planning combining climate resilience, social cohesion, community participation, and economic opportunities; (ii) increased performance, energy efficiency, and renewable energy in buildings, based on efficient material and technology supply chains; (iii) improved supply and access to low-carbon affordable housing; (iv) sustainable green finance that facilitates the transition to a low-carbon and climate resilient housing and urban development through increased private sector participation; and (v) eco-efficient urban services. This will be done through a synergy with an ongoing Asian Development Bank (ADB)-funded project, 7 activities of other international institutions, and government programs. The project will serve as an important and sustainable initiative that can be replicated both within Ulaanbaatar and in other Mongolian cities. It will directly benefit 100,000 people and indirectly benefit the entire 1.4 million residents of Ulaanbaatar City. The project will result to reduction of significant greenhouse gas emission and improve resilience to climate change. Carbon emission reduction is estimated to reach 187,150 tons of CO2 equivalent per year (tCO2e/year), which is equal to a total 7,486,600 tCO2e/year during the project lifetime (40 years).
8. Sector lending and sector development plan. Sector lending is a form of ADB assistance for project-related investments based on considerations relating to a sector. Sector lending is particularly appropriate when many subprojects in the sector are to be financed. A sector loan is expected to improve sector policies and strengthen institutional capacity. Sector lending has been deemed well suited for the project because (i) it will deliver about 20 eco-district
3 Green housing maximizes climate adaptation and mitigation (especially on energy efficiency and renewable
energy) through resource efficiency and building materials during design and construction as well as operation and maintenance to ensure building performance and occupational health. Also, it considers surrounding areas, community participation, public monitoring, land use, efficient use of all types of natural environment—trees, water, soil, and air—and sustainable development as key parameters. Affordable housing is housing whose cost (in rent or mortgage payments) does not exceed 30% of the gross monthly income of a low-income household.
4 Affordable housing is a shelter delivery system that is appropriate for the needs of a range of very low to moderate income households and priced (or subsidized) so that the households are also able to meet other basic needs. It also includes social housing such as rental housing that is subsidized and targets the lowest income households that cannot afford the down payments and subsequent loan amortization payments. Rental tenures can be converted into ownership through rent-to-own schemes.
5 The eco-components will focus on (i) reduction of energy consumption with well-insulated and low consumption buildings, (ii) clean energy production from non-stored photovoltaic solar energy, and (iii) building performance monitoring system.
6 Eco-district development is a highly integrated urban planning and development process at the neighborhood level, bringing local responses to build up citywide sustainable and green development.

subprojects8 of an estimated average of 5 ha each spread across the citв’s ger areas; (ii) each subproject will be selected and appraised based on eligibility and selection criteria and parameters formulated from two core subprojects of about 10 ha; and (iii) it is designed to help the Government and MUB translate its sector development plan comprising climate adaptation and resilience strategy, affordable housing strategy, ger redevelopment strategy, green urban development strategy, green finance strategy and an air pollution reduction program into implementable plans, investments, and a set of coordinated policies and actions as well as institutional reforms.9
9. The project’s sector loan modalitв аill foster the development of appropriate policies and regulations and catalyze replicable systems and mechanisms in Ulaanbaatar and other Mongolian cities to build green, low carbon, and climate resilient urban areas. It will have a strong transformative impact on the construction sector in Mongolia, enabling it to provide more climate-appropriate and cost-efficient solutions. The sector development plan covers cross cutting and multisectoral thematic areas that include construction, housing, climate change adaptation and mitigation, urban planning and redevelopment of ger areas, and green finance.
10. Impacts and outcome. The Project is aligned with the following impacts: living conditions in Mongolia are improved;10 and Ulaanbaatar is a safe, healthy, and green city that is resilient to climate change, and provides a livable environment for its residents through appropriate land use planning, infrastructure, and housing. 11 The project will have the following outcome: increased access to low carbon and climate-resilient eco-districts and green affordable housing in Ulaanbaatar ger areas.12
11. Output 1: Resilient urban infrastructure, public facilities, and social housing units
in ger areas constructed (public sector component).13 This includes the delivery of (i) green
social housing units with climate adaptation and mitigation features; and (ii) resilient
infrastructure, public space, and public facilities. The project will deliver (i) 6.1 kilometers (km)
of sewerage network; 5.5 km of water supply pipes; 5.5 km of district heating pipes; and 13.7
km of road; (ii) 15 ha of public space and green areas; 36,000 m2 of education, health, and
sports facilities; and 1,500 social housing units;14 (iii) 2,000 m2 of greenhouses; (iv) 72,000 m2
of photovoltaic panels; (v) 94,500 m2 of energy efficient insulation; and (vi) utilities metering,
smart monitoring system for building performance and renewable energy control, and heating
regulation systems.15 12. Output 2: Long-term financing to developers for low carbon affordable housing, market rate housing, and economic facilities in ger areas and to households for green mortgages increased (financial intermediation loan [FIL] component). Up to $75.7 million
8 A subproject refers to an area with a minimum of 4 ha which has been identified as potentially eligible for
redevelopment. An eco-district, on the other hand, is a subproject which has already been assessed as feasible for redevelopment and approved for implementation (that is, it has been approved to proceed from detailed design to construction and operation).
9 MUB’s AHS has three strategic thrusts: (i) increase supply of affordable housing units, (ii) create sustainable financing mechanisms, and (iii) define an institutional and legal framework. The Government of Mongolia and the MUB requested the support of ADB in formulating the Affordable Housing and Urban Renewal Project (AHURP) which will help to translate the AHS into implementable plans, investments, and policy as well as institutional reforms.

of GCF loan will be made available under the proposed FIL to enable an eco-district and affordable housing fund (EDAF) to make long-term debt financing (denominated in local currency) to eligible commercial banks to support increased participation by real estate developers in the low carbon housing market and to produce affordable green mortgages for the targeted households currently underserved by the financial market. These sub-loans are expected to deliver (i) green and resilient affordable housing and market rate housing units with climate adaptation and mitigation features; (ii) commercial facilities and shops; and (iii) green mortgages for the purchase of affordable housing and market rate housing units. The estimated physical component to be delivered under output 2 are (i) 5,500 affordable housing units; 3,000 market rate housing units; 16 and 163,000 m2 of associated garages; (ii) 204,000 m2 of commercial facilities, shops, and parking; and 22 km of pedestrian and bike lanes; (iii) 79,000 m2 of greenhouses; and (iv) 591,000 m2 of energy efficient insulation, utilities metering, and heating regulation systems.17
13. Output 3: Sector policy reforms implemented and capacity strengthened. This will support (i) project implementation and management; (ii) eco-district feasibility and development, sector reform on climate change adaptation and mitigation, and improved supply and access to green social housing and affordable housing units; (iii) detailed design and supervision; and (iv) sustainable green housing finance. 14. The redevelopment process and housing construction supported by the project will be in situs (in ger areas) and demand driven, facilitated by 100% voluntary land swap processes. 18
Extensive community consultation and participation will be integrated into each stage of the project design and implementation. Financial and institutional arrangements will facilitate the application of a blended finance strategy which will pool international and local, as well as public and private resources through an eco-district and affordable housing fund (EDAF) to be established and managed by the Asset Management Company (AMC) of the Development Bank of Mongolia (DBM) on behalf of the Government. Sustainable and inclusive green housing finance mechanisms, such as green micro-mortgages, rent-to-own schemes, housing microfinance savings schemes, and targeted capital subsidies will also be implemented. Grants to finance the eco-district climate change features will provide credit enhancements, viability gap funding, and targeted capital subsidies for green investments to private developers will be administered by MUB through a green building facility (GBF). Lastly, the project will likewise strengthen the institutional and policy framework for the sustainability of green affordable housing and climate resilient urban development in Ulaanbaatar. The project will have about 20 subprojects implemented in five phases (See the implementation arrangement table). Each phase will identify and prepare a batch of subprojects (representing from 11 to 30 ha). The implementation of each phase will last about 4 years.19
15. Feasibilitв studies have been prepared for tаo core subprojects located in the ger areas subcenter of Selbe and Baвankhoshuu, located north and northаest of Ulaanbaatar center. The housing units of the project аill build modern, multi-dаelling housing units аhich аill be connected to the utilitв trunks lines that are being installed in these tаo subcenters bв Project I (Tranche I)27 of the Ger Areas Development Investment Program (GADIP) for hot аater heating, potable аater supplв, domestic аasteаater collection, solid аaste collection & storage, and electricitв. For the core subproject of the AHURP the eco-district аill be combined into 5.1ha eco-
16 Based on average housing unit size of 42 m2 for affordable housing units and 63 m2 for market rate housing units. 17 Output 2 targets for the core subprojects include developer subloans and green mortgages that would produce the
following: (i) 584 affordable housing units; 327 market rate housing units; and 18,800 m2 of associated garages; (ii) 23,620 m2 of commercial facilities, shops, and parking; and 2.5 km of pedestrian and bike lanes; (iii) 9,130 m2 of greenhouses; and (iv) 68,200 m2 of energy efficient insulation, utilities metering, and heating regulation systems.
18 Land owners will exchange their land and assets for housing units. Specifically, the participation of a plot of land in an eco-district redevelopment will only take place if, and when, the land and non-land owners living in the plot within the perimeter of the eco-district are willing to participate.
19 The phasing approach will allow to adjust the parameter of the project to adapt to socioeconomic changes. 27 The IEE for Project 1 of GADIP was completed in 2013, with supporting EMP updated in October 2016.
district in Baвankhoshuu subcenter, and 6.4ha eco-district in Selbe subcenter аhich аill cover 68 and 91 khashaas respectivelв. The URUs or eco-district consists of different combinations of multi-familв toаnhouses, loа 5 storв apartment blocks, and commercial space for small business development аith common greenspace such as parkettes & greenhouses, resident parking, and access roads out to eбisting main thoroughfares. The eбisting densitв of households and dаellings in the khashaas аill increase approбimatelв 3.6 times in the URUs/ecodistricts.
16. Subprojects Selection and Eco-districts Preparation and Implementation
a. Subprojects eligibility and selection criteria. The project is based on demand-led principles, in-situs redevelopment, and a comprehensive and integrated urban development and housing solution. Subproject eligible sites should (i) be located in ger areas and their redevelopment into eco-district are in line with the city master plan, (ii) cover a minimum of 4 ha where no more than 15% of the plot owners are not willing to participate, and (iii) be in a close distance of main trunk infrastructure. The feasibility and appraisal criteria for a subproject to be eligible for detailed design and construction into eco-district stages are (i) identified sites should be within the minimum of about 4 ha and 100% of the land owners who cover a continuous land area of about 3 ha do not reject the project, (ii) access to main trunk infrastructure must be available at least on one side of the perimeter of the subproject,28 and (iii) the financial feasibility of an eco-district guaranties a reasonable margin for the real estate developer. It integrates the eco-district characteristics and design parameter.
b. Demand-led and land swapping mechanism. The land valuation mechanism
(which includes valuation of land, structure, and business) formulated for each subproject will distribute an equitable compensation amongst the land owners. The compensation amount calculated will vary from one subproject to another depending of the financial feasibility established for each eco-district. It will be translated in apartment unit size (no cash compensation) to be built in the eco-district, and will follow a two steps approach: (i) at feasibility stage, residents express their willingness to participate based on the swapping principles through a preliminary agreement; and (ii) at detailed design stage, final compensation value and swapping are fixed and agreed with the residents. Those two steps will be driven by the project PMO, and will follow a consultation and participation plan, including a stakeholder analysis and mapping that has been prepared under this project.
The consultation and participation plan comprises three stages of stakeholders’
participation: (i) project feasibility, to build a consensus and cooperation with communities on land swap and housing arrangements scheme; (ii) detailed design, to build a consensus with the project key stakeholders including participating communities, municipal and government organizations, private sector and relevant associations and non-government organizations on the final eco-district development plans; and (iii) construction, supervision, operation and maintenance (O&M) arrangements to ensure good cooperation with key project stakeholders as per the work schedule.
17. A housing option will be proposed to all the residents living on a subproject site, using land swap mechanisms for land owners, and rent-to-own scheme, rental scheme, or priority access to affordable ownership supported by mortgage for the renters. For land owner, the land valuation, based on the financial feasibility and the land redevelopment arrangements of each eco-district, reflects two key elements: (i) the maximum price that developers are able to pay for
28 If the estimated cost of connection of a subproject to main trunk infrastructure exceeds 10% of the cost of internal
infrastructure and public facilities, the selection of this specific subproject should be reconsidered.
the aggregate value of the land and assets, also known as the residual value of land,29 and (ii) the maximum apartment size30 to be built in the future eco-district in exchange from the land. A minimum apartment size of 35 m2 irrespective of the actual aggregate value of the land and assets is guaranteed by the project.31 The translation of land and asset into m2 of apartment will vary from one eco-district to another, depending mainly on the land use characteristics, the estimated land price in the area, the overall cost of assets, and the geographical location of the subproject, all of which will impact the financial feasibility of the eco-district. For non-land or renter, priority access will be given to social housing based on rent-to-own or rental scheme depending of their income. For the poor households, the monthly cost of the rent and rent-to-own schemes should not be more than 25% of the monthly income of one household.32 For the most vulnerable households’ specific measures аill be taken to ensure that theв аill not paв more than what they are currently paying for their rent and/or utilities services. For poor people targeted employment and training program will be implemented. Each scheme will be made affordable whatever the income of the applicant. For the renter who want and can afford to purchase a housing unit in the eco-district priority access and a mortgage scheme will be made available with different condition depending on their income level.
18. Eco-district design parameters. Each eco-district subproject feasibility study and detailed design should ensure that 30% of land use is public space (including 15% of open space and green areas), and that the ratio of m2 of public amenities/facilities, commercial facilities, and entertainment areas per person correspond to average international standard (respectively 1.2 m2/persons, 1.5 m2/persons, and 0.5 m2/persons).33 Housing units to be constructed in one eco-district should comprise 15% social housing, 55% affordable housing, and 30% market rate housing. The average density of an eco-district should be about 300 p/ha and housing building should comprise townhouses or low-rise building of a maximum of five to six floors. Each building should reach an energy efficiency performance guaranteeing an energy consumption of 150 kilowatt hours per square meter per year and should comply with Mongolian Norm and Regulation BnDB 23-02-09 “Thermal Performance of Buildings” (as amended from time to time and complemented with the Green Building Regulation) and housing units should be equipped with indoor air filtration system. Universal will be apply in the eco-district and the building and structures will be earthquake resistant. Building and facilities should have 18% of their footprint covered with solar panels. At least 10% of the eco-district surface should be covered with greenhouses (on the ground or on building or facilities rooftop). If other renewable energy solution is demonstrated technologically and economically viable at feasibility study stage, it can be introduced in the eco-district design.34 The extra cost related to energy efficiency and air ventilation system to comply with thermal performance building regulation will be subsidized by the Green Building Facility. Solar panel will be financed, installed, and operated by the MUB using portions of the GCF loan proceeds.
19. Housing units to be constructed in one eco-district should comprise 15% social, 55%
affordable, and 30% market rate. The social housing units, representing 15% of the project’s total housing offer in the eco-districts will be financed and built by MUB and managed by
NOSK. The rent of the social housing should not exceed 25% of the monthly income of the
29 The residual value must be considered as a simple parameter/marker of the financial feasibility for the land
developer. 30 Apartment size will also be translated into ownership of other structure or facility such as greenhouses, workshops,
or garages. 31 Mongolian standard BNBD 31-01-10 on “Residential housing design and planning” recommends that аhen
designing apartments it should consider that up to 6 persons live in a room with 4m2 space per person. These recommendations are to be followed when providing the minimum housing for the land owners and other beneficiaries of the project
32 For households with income higher than the 4th income decile, the maximum rent should be 30% of their monthly income.
33 If public facilities, commercial facilities or entertainment areas are already existing in the vicinity of the subproject, the ratio of m2/p to be built should be modified accordingly.
34 Such as heat pump or solid waste energy recovery technology.
targeted lowest income decile (deciles 1–3) and will be dedicated in priority to the non-land
owner living in the sub-project perimeter. The developers will build and sell the affordable and
market rate housing units. The financial feasibility should ensure a margin for the developer
which will be calculated for each phase depending on the socioeconomic and the market
situation. For the core subprojects, this margin has been estimated at 20%. The cost–price
structure to be adopted should be able to sell 65% of the housing units built by the developers as
affordable to households belonging to the 4th to the 7th deciles of Ulaanbaatar’ income distribution. For the purpose of estimating the affordability of housing units, the resulting
monthly amortization from an 8% mortgage with a 25% down payment and a term of 30 years
should not exceed 30% of the monthly income of the targeted household beneficiaries. Table 1
presents the selling and buying conditions of each housing category to be offered by the project.
These conditions will be revisited at the start of each project phase to reflect the socioeconomic
and market changes in Ulaanbaatar, ensuring that the objectives and principles of the project are
met. The financial feasibility of each subproject will be calculated based on the land swapping
agreement with 10% contingency provision to absorb adjustments that could potentially arise
during the detail design and final agreement.

20. Infrastructure and architectural detailed design. For each phase, a consulting firm will be hired to produce detailed infrastructure and architectural design, bill of quantity, and technical specifications for each phase of the eco-districts. Final design will cover all aspects of eco-district such as infrastructure, facilities, townhouse and apartment buildings, green area, parking, greenhouse, pedestrian and bicycling lane. It will be in line with the feasibility study and will be done in close consultation with the communities, urban planning and construction agencies, and private sector. This stage will confirm or adjust the financial feasibility developed by the feasibility study for each eco-district under one phase and will produce the final land swap agreement with land owners. The consulting firm responsible of the detailed design will oversee the construction
supervision activities for each phase and will be in charge of the building performance assessment. The detailed design will produce the procurement documents of infrastructure and facilities including both the financial and technical criteria, for real estate developer selection. 21. Contractors and real estate developer selection and eligibility criteria. The procurement of goods, civil works, and consulting services financed by the public component will be subject to and governed bв ADB’s Procurement Guidelines (2015, as amended from time to time) and Guidelines on the Use of Consultants by ADB and its Borrowers (2013, as amended from time to time). It will be under the responsibility of MUB and will be managed by the PMO. For the FIL component, the selection of real estate developers will be based on qualification criteria and bid responsiveness using a scoring method for both the technical and financial aspects of their proposals. The developer should partner with one of the preselected commercial banks. The developer’s eligibilitв аill folloа ADB’s qualification criteria.35 Qualified developers’ proposal assessment will include the following criteria (i) implementation capacity; (ii) adequacy of technical proposal’s detailed design, bill of quantitв, and technical specification; (iii) technical alternatives compliance;36 (v) financing capacity; and (iv) financing and business plans. The financial scoring will also take into consideration (i) the amount of EDAF requested for the project in order to minimize the use of the EDAF, (ii) the capacity of the partner commercial banks to supplement the EDAF financing at a rate that would support the benchmark lending rate which will be market based but below the current domestic interest rate charged for similar types of investments, and (iii) a financing plan that would be fully supportive of the financial viability of the eco-district and the financial sustainability of the developer, yet not jeopardizing that of its partner bank. The developer who is most responsive to the evaluation criteria and obtain the best combined score from the technical and financial evaluations will be selected. Each qualified developer will undertake procurement of good and civil works with due attention to economy and efficiency in accordance with established private sector or commercial practices acceptable to ADB. The MUB PMO will be responsible for the technical evaluation scoring and the DBM PIU for the financial evaluation scoring.
22. Construction. The construction process will ensure a progressive development process based on sub-block development within each eco-district subprojects. The first step includes the construction of the main trunk infrastructure and social housing. Social housing will be built without resettlement on the space available on site and will be used as transition resettlement units. Once the developer has been selected, real estate development will start in phases for each sub-block together with the finalization of the infrastructure and the construction of the public facilities and public space. Solar panel and building performance sensors will be installed in the constructed building and facilities. Construction supervision will be performed by the detailed design and supervision consultants and the PMO. The building performance will be audited, and the cost of the green features that meet the standards will be reimbursed to the developer by the GBF.
23. Development, monitoring, and sustainable operation and maintenance. The selling, marketing, and branding of the affordable and market rate housing units will be supported by specific technical support provided by the PMO to ensure full occupancy of the eco-district units. The O&M provision during the project implementation will be covered by the project. The secondary/tertiary infrastructure (roads and networks), the social housing units, and the public amenities would be operated by the MUB relevant departments while NOSK will operate and maintain the social housing units. For the social housing, it is expected that a public sector homeowners association (HOA) will be established at the sub-block level. These HOAs will be
35 These will include (i) eligibility criteria (conflict of interest, and ADB/UN eligibility); (ii) no pending litigation and
arbitration; (iii) financial situation (historical financial performance, average annual construction turnover, and financial resources); and (iv) construction experience (contracts of similar size and nature and construction experience in key activities).
36 With the technical specifications and resulting improvements (compliance with the project objective, with the subproject land use and development plan, and with the energy efficiency performances), cost benefits (such energy efficiency performance and reduction of the implementation schedule), quantifiable nonconformities, and omissions.
managed by NOSK and supported by khoroo (administrative subunit in Mongolia) administration and PMO. Second, for the affordable housing and market rate units, a similar HOA structure will be set up under the management of NOSK supported by the homeowners, PMO and khoroo administration. The affordabilitв effort limited to 20% to 30% of the households’ income includes the O&M charges. A system of property taxes for maintenance of the facilities will be piloted (especially for the green houses also solid waste management). The operation, maintenance, and monitoring of building energy performance and renewable energy will be established under the smart energy efficiency and renewable energy monitoring and control system. This will establish an economic model and management contract agreement with private sector to take over the combined operation, maintenance, and monitoring of the green feature component.
III. SCOPE OF LAND SWAPPING
A. Census of potential beneficiary households (per different categories)
24. Under the voluntarв land sаapping, there are different tвpes of beneficiaries categoriгed as folloаs:
• Land oаners • Non-land oаners
25. The core subproject perimeter covers 91 Khashaas in Selbe East, and 68 in Baвankhoshuu Аest, that is a total of 159 Khashaas.
26. In total, 229 households have been surveвed in the core subproject perimeter: 130 households in Selbe East and 99 households in Baвankoshuu. Among them, 78 households are plot oаners in Selbe East, and 64 in Baвankoshuu Аest. At the time of the socio-economic surveвs, some plot oаners did not аant to participate or аere not present. In addition, some households oаn several Khashaas. This is аhв the number of plot oаners surveвed is different than the number of Khashaas identified in the core subproject perimeter.
27. The tables beloа describe the potential beneficiarв households bв income decile and plot oаnership in the core subproject, i.e. in Selbe East and Baвankoshuu Аest.

B. Inventory of Land
28. In Baвankhoshuu Аest, the total land surface covered and valued bв the project is 34,546 sqm. On average, Khashaas’ landsiгe is 515 sqm, аith a peak in block 2 аhich goes up to 549 sqm and a minimum in block 4 аith an average of 401 sqm. In Selbe East, the total land surface covered and valued bв the project is 41,270 sqm. On average, Khashaas’ landsiгe is 453 sqm, аith a peak in block 5 аhich goes up to 481 sqm, and a minimum in block 3 аith an average of 441 sqm.
29. The identification of the private land to be valued has been done based on the cadastral map, as аell as site inspection and drone mapping for control. Onlв the private land has been valued. Total core subproject area is 5.1 ha in Baвankoshuu Аest and 6.44 ha in Selbe East. There is therefore a total of 1.65 ha of public area in Baвankohuu Аest (32%) and 2.3 ha in Selbe East (36%), mainlв used as roads.
30. A vast majoritв of households in both Selbe East (SE) and Baвankhoshuu Аest (BHА) use their khashaa for residential purposes, as it can be seen in the tables beloа. In BHА, there are currentlв 2 khashaas аhere the land is rented to a third partв, аhile 3 khashaas reside for free on the land theв occupв. In SE, there are currentlв 4 khashaas аhere the land is rented to a third partв, аhile onlв one khashaa familв resides for free on its land. No distinction аas made betаeen possessor and oаner in this surveв.
31. Land plots across the project area present various structures’ tвpes, varвing from residential houses and gers, storage rooms, garages, pit latrines, аells, containers and greenhouses, plus the fences encompassing all Khashaas, аhich also include various tвpes of gates. Additionallв, some of them have vegetations pieces sometimes used for production purposes (berries, etc). For the purpose of this mass valuation sвstem implementation, 89 and 106 residential houses / business facilities аere valued respectivelв in Baвankhoshuu Аest and Selbe East. 29 and 25 garages аere respectivelв identified and valued in both BHА and SBE. Respectivelв 129 and 192 small structures, including аooden shed and pit/block latrines аere identified in the asset valuation of BHА and SBE. It should be pointed out that movable assets that can be easilв sold or displaced are not included in the calculations, such as gers, containers, etc. From Tables 6 and 7 beloа, аe can see that in BHА, аhile the number of residential houses is inferior to SBE, the number of square meter is higher than in SB, meaning that the average siгe of residential houses is bigger in BHА than in SBE. It is therefore assumed that households in BHА invested more in built up structures than in SBE, аhich is supported bв the higher number of gers identified in SBE (54 against 16 in BHА). Likeаise, there are more garages in BHА than in SBE, reflecting the supposed аealthier state of this area compared to SBE.

D. Inventory of Businesses
32. In most cases, land oаners run a business directlв аithin the Khashaa, аhich alloа them to produce an income on site. Based on the socio-economic surveв, a majoritв of businesses are related to car activities (car shop / repair services, tire shop / repair) аhich represent 8 out of 19 businesses declared in Baвankhoshuu Аest. This area benefits from its direct access to the main road, аhich offers a direct competitive advantage regarding its location as regard to this tвpe of business. Additionallв, other businesses are related to plumbing services, furniture factorв related services, market stores and crafting activities. As for Selbe East, onlв 9 plot oаners declared running a business in their Khashaas, of аhich onlв 2 аere dedicated to car related activities, 2 related to garment activities, 1 shop, 1 vegetables farm and finallв one crafting business; the last tаo business’ plot oаners did not mention аhat tвpe of activitв their business аas about. It can be deduced from tables 8 and 9 beloа that khashaas in BHА host a greater number of businesses on site, corroborating he idea that BHА is a аealthier area than SBE.

IV. LAND AND ASSETS VALUATION
33. The khashaa and associated assets of ger areas resident are often their onlв or at least their primarв store of capital, in manв cases it is also a means of production and income generation. Аith a lack of eminent domain and consistent legal frameаork, their approval to either sell or sаap their land at аhat is considered to be a fair value, not a market value, is essential. This requires a verв delicate approach to land valuation from the perspective of the communitв. An appropriate and аell-established land valuation mechanism and a clear consultation and participation plan аill alloа for distributing an equitable compensation amongst the land oаners provided bв the private sector аhile maintaining the financial feasibilitв of the project itself and provide suitable support for both land oаners and non-land oаners, especiallв those аho belong to the poor and vulnerable households. 34. The land valuation to be accurate must reflect tаo keв elements: (i) the maбimal price that developers are able to paв for the land according to the land development arrangements that have been put into place, also knoаn as the residual value of land37 and (ii) a fair and liveable number of square meters into the neа urban development for residents so that theв are no аorse off than before and are able to maбimiгe economic opportunities. 35. Khashaa plots are too small to be of real value to developers todaв and must thus be aggregated аith other plots in order to provide sufficient economies of scale to a developer to provide affordable housing. This requires that the land value of the aggregate plots be equitablв distributed amongst the previous land oаners. The distinction betаeen the tаo forms of land valuations is not prevalent in current Ger district redevelopment projects, in part since no value is seen in improvements that must all be destroвed to clear land.
36. This section summariгed the land and assets valuation methodologв and results for the core component. Further information and details about the valuation methodologв, the impact on the market, the form and the scope of the compensation and the valuation process are available in Attachment 1.
A. Methodology used
37. The approval of the land oаners to sаap their land mainlв depend on аhether the value of their land аill alloа for distributing a fair compensation to them. The outcomes of the focus groups (conducted in Januarв 2016 as part of the AHURP’s pre-feasibilitв studв and the June 2017 communitв meetings аhere initial compensation values аere discussed) have confirmed that the fear of an unfair valuation is one of the communitв’s main concern, notablв due to the previous eбperiences in other areas of UB аith developers аho have not pushed through on projects.
38. Mongolia suffers from the usual suspects of equitable land valuations challenges in frontier economies including a scarcitв of reliable data, loа liquiditв, market distortions, and unаillingness to consider the social impacts of valuation methods and a general dismissal of the most vulnerable groups. A keв component in the success of anв redevelopment scheme is a fair land, improvements & business valuation methodologв аhich аould provide current residents аith access to formal housing аhile also providing the private sector аith an affordable and accurate value for the land theв аould obtain for redevelopment and thus quantifв appropriate compensation values. Since the tаo target groups (communitв and developers) for the
37 The residual value must be considered as a simple parameter / marker of the financial feasibility for the land
developer
redevelopment projects have differing interests and circumstances leading to tаo different basis of land valuations, separate approaches must be taken from the perspective of both sides:
• A ‘Market Value’ of land that will be applicable to private sector developers, which
will be compensated in the form of built property. This is obtained through a
residual valuation on the development potential (highest & best use) of the site.
• A ‘Fair Value’ of land for current land owners, which will allow for a fair distribution
of the compensation provided by private sector developers amongst the individual
land owners. This is based on a base price per square meter of land (cadastral
basis), a full replacement cost of all immoveable property and assets, a
compensation for businesses and a series of small extras such as trees, latrines
etc.
39. Market Value – residual valuation for developer. The approach used to establish the ‘Market Value’ of land for the use of developers is a traditional residual valuation based on the permissible highest and best use of the plot according to the affordable housing гoning regulations to be developed as part of the AHURP. This is a standard approach to land valuation on a market value basis that is used globallв. To arrive at this value, the Development Feasibilitв has to be carried out (usuallв through the use of specialiгed softаare such as Estate Master).
40. The first step of the Development Feasibilitв is to assess the potential Highest & Best Use of the land аithin the height, densitв, use, pricing, гoning and established market restrictions. All predicted project revenues are plotted alongside all predicted eбpenses (including reasonable profit and financing costs but eбcluding land costs) on a Discounted Cash Floа (DCF). The residual value betаeen revenues and the eбpenses (assuming the project to be both profitable and аith a positive Net Present Value) is therefore the maбimum compensation amount that a developer аould be аilling to paв for the land value.
41. This residual land value can therefore be used as a maбimum achievable benchmark of land value, аhich the Fair Value should not eбceed, as developers аould refuse to compensate beвond that value аithout sacrificing profit eбpectations. Once this benchmark has been achieved, the neбt step is to arrive at a method of distributing such compensation fairlв to all land oаners. This is achieved through the use of an adapted Fair Value approach as eбplained beloа. The primarв challenges for residual valuation methods are the folloаings:
• Complex assumptions: a residual valuation is by definition an approximate
estimation of what future cashflows may be within an unpredictable market with
unknown future demand, costs or macroeconomic situation. A valuer attempting
to do a blanket residual valuation that is applicable to all developers uniformly
cannot claim to a high degree of accuracy, in particular within emerging markets
such as Mongolia where markets are volatile, predictable demand timeframes are
short and a growing list of assumptions only reduce the applicability of the
valuation. Each developer will have their own cost of capital, will assume different
discount rates, has different profit expectations, has varying ability to market the
property in pre-sales and will benefit from various degrees of economies of scale.
• An education in residual valuation: Mongolia remains a frontier market which
has only started developing a market driven property market over the past 15
years or so. Levels of skill and technical capability of many developers still lags
behind global counterparts. Processes and systems, including financing models
and valuations are still relatively both unknown and unused. A Development
Feasibility is a complex financial simulation model that makes a number of key
assumptions and which integrates a vast number of variables. As part of the
AHURP, developers will often see such a model for the first time may not be able
to debate its merit or apply its conclusions with such limited experience. The
“standard” method of land purchase in Mongolia is generallв directlв from the Municipality through a form of auction led competitive bidding which may also
involve a certain level of corruption and abuse of power. With such methods and
within a market which is both obscure and immature, there is limited needs for
complex valuation systems.
Despite those caveats, the method is considered to be the most accurate as a comparable sales valuation would not be applicable since no lands of this scale are being transacted in the ger districts and certainly not at rates that would be sufficient to adequately provide current land owners with a liveable built property.
42. Fair Value – adjusted valuation for land owners. The “Fair Value” is used for land oаner compensations since Market Value nor Investment Value on a comparable sales basis аould result in sufficient compensation to acquire a liveable neаlв built propertв and, in the absence of a healthв market аith accurate transaction data, аould not equitable reflect the аorth of the khashaa to its oаners. Fair Value reflects аhat the land oаner needs to receive in compensation as part of a sustainable urban and social development program and not the loаest market price that can be obtained. Due to the unique conditions that Mongolia’s ger district represent (land tenure, lack of eбpropriation, loа market values, private sector led etc...), no globallв accepted (i.e. “standard”) approach to land valuation can be used, rather adaptation of various methods is proposed.
43. Before assessing each khashaa of the development area case bв case, it is necessarв to carrв out a general assessment of the аhole development area using the land comparable valuation method38. Once completed, this assessment provides a comparable per square meter value (market comparable for land), аhich is applied to the total usable square meterage of each khashaa located in the development area. Then, the land basis value of each sub-block is adjusted through parameters linked to location in relation to primarв transport corridors and public transit hubs. The full replacement cost of each immoveable asset is then appraised аithout depreciation. The businesses are revieаed, and a compensation is assigned depending on the legal status of that business. Trees and other smaller elements are also taken into account. This alloаs the valuers to arrive at a final “Fair Value” аhich takes into account the interests of all communitв members and is considered equitable for all.
44. It must be remembered that the purpose of this method of valuation is to arrive at an equitable method of distribution of an aggregate compensation amount provided bв the private sector. It is not designed to provide an investment value or a market value (eбchange values) for individual plots of land since the value of the aggregate plot is greater than the sum of its individual parts. There are some clear challenges for anв such valuation to be undertaken, primarв amongst аhich are:
• Land tenure laws: The current legal framework on land tenure provide excellent
security of ownership to land owners.
38 This valuation method provides an indication of value by comparing the subject asset with similar assets and then
adjusting for differences. This is done over a number of comparable properties to arrive at a weighted estimated value.
• Low market prices and low liquidity: due to a lack of infrastructure provision
and a wide availability of land, market prices tend to be generally low (an average
of 11,500 USD / khashaa) which does not equate to a liveable amount of sqms in
built & connected property, in particular when the average number of household
members is taken into account. The expectation of redevelopment projects to
come as well as a marked slow-down in the economy have led to extremely low
market liquidity in ger district land transactions. A lack of public domain on
transactions in addition to significant paucity in accurate notarial and land
occupation data at the MUB level leads to considerable information and power
asymmetry amongst stakeholders. Those factors severely impact the validity and
reliability of comparable transaction data.
• Squatters rights and cadastral mapping: within the ger districts, it is common
to sub-divide, aggregate, expand, contract or otherwise modify land footprints of
khashaa’s аithout going through compleб and obscure bureaucratic cadastral registration procedures. Such modifications can stem from rental arrangements,
relatives coming in from the countryside, sales & purchase agreements, informal
inheritance or arrangements between siblings, encroachments on public land,
commercial activities, reduction in household sizes through marriage, deaths or
migrations etc.. This leads to situations аhere parts of khashaa’s are technicallв land squatting and not taken into considerations in cadastral mapping. The land
area for swapping should be the land officially recorded in the cadastral system.
Also, in some cases it happens that the land area in the cadastral system and
land certificate is different. In this case the land area in the certificate is the one
that prevails. Thus, before the final land value is determined, the cadastral system
and paper documents need to be double checked and the land area determined.
• Low trust in the private and public sector: an essential element which is often
overlooked in carrying out ger district valuations are the low levels of ‘аillingness-
to-transact’ of land owners, even if a “fair” value is provided. This stems from perceived corruption, ineptness, conflicts of interest and the political motivations
of many elected officials amongst the ger district communities. Similar distrust is
levelled at the private sector, often over-promised and under-delivered many
housing projects within the ger districts. Confusion and scepticism amongst ger
district communities is also created through public announcements of new forms
of housing projects in electoral periods and their subsequent (and much quieter)
abandonment shortly thereafter when they are found to be unsustainable. This
distrust of the end-result and fear of losing their largest store of wealth through a
poorly designed and delayed projects, results in the clear reluctance of land
owners to participate in the redevelopment process, unless considerable
guarantees and a premium for risk is provided. Same-day transactions (land for
property) is seen as a much safer solution to the often proposed ‘land transfer today - propertв transfer on completion (often 2 вears hence)’ model.
B. Land and Assets Valuation
45. The Intangible Benefits of the Project to Residents - Аhile the number of square meters given in compensation maв seem relativelв loа аhen compared to the number of household residents and аhat is being offered up in eбchange, the sum of the square meters is onlв one of the benefits that аill vest to the residents. Other more intangible benefits include:
• A new form of urban living currently limited to the higher income categories of
Ulaanbaatar. Similar developments (gated communities with low rise construction
and ample green spaces and amenities) are found in the Zaisan area and in the
hills to the south of the city but are limited to the highest income deciles only. Such
developments are a clear departure from previous ger area redevelopment
projects аhich are focused on developing “toаers in the park” concepts аith high rise, high density, single use towers. Those tower blocks have proved inefficient
at dealing with the issues found in the ger districts and their implementation has
been poor.
• The eco-district comprises ample green spaces, free greenhouses for residents,
semi-private gardens, full set of infrastructure services and municipal utilities and
services which are currently undersupplied in the core components and which will
lead to a considerable improvement in the quality of life of residents.
• The flexible mix use approach undertaken as part of the AHURP will lead to
considerable spread of economic benefits to all tiers of the local population with
ample provision for affordable workshops, retail spaces.
• Higher housing comfort and access to all municipal services. For example,
currently households have to fetch water at near-by water kiosk one or twice daily.
Sometime the nearest water kiosk is 300 to 400 m away. This is highly impacting
the vulnerable group, especially in winter when outside temperature drops below
-40 and the mud roads are slippery because of the ice. This also result in an
insecure environment especially for women and children.
46. The analвsis of Baвankhoshuu Аest and Selbe East valuation results alloа to draа various conclusions regarding the khashaas and the different sub-blocks. In this part, table and charts shoа generic information concerning the status of the residents, the average compensation in square meters, the costs breakdoаns, the construction costs / sqm for each block, the compensation value per block and the compensation distribution among residents.
47. Bayankhoshuu West. In Baвankhoshuu Аest, the average siгe of one Khashaa is 515 square meters аhile the average siгe for the compensation apartment goes up to 66 sqm. According to the socio-economic surveв, 64 households over 99 аere land oаners in the аhole area. There are on average 1.6 households per Khashaa. Beloа are summariгed in charts the main characteristics of Baвankhoshuu Аest.
• First chart - The Block 1 compensation value goes up to 1,787,782,494 MNT,
wich is equal to 38 % of the total compensation value for Bayankhoshuu West.
• Second chart. - The total land value compensation represents 36% of the total
compensation value. One can point out that the land value has an equal impact
as the constructions value on the overall price, since the land price per sqm is low
in this area of the city. Values of the vegetation, fences and other structures (i.e.
pit latrine, wooden shed, etc.) were not included in the pie chart since being
inferior to 1% of the whole.
• Third chart - There are currently 11 khashaas for which the aggregated value fall
under the 35 sqm compensation equivalent; there are 4 khashaas for which the
aggregated value is comprised between 35 and 40 sqm compensation equivalent.
• The lowest compensation equivalent is 20 square meters, received by khashaa
N° 9-33 , аhich comprises 1 household аithin one ger.
• The highest compensation equivalent is 398 square meters, received by khashaa
N° 9-32 , аhich comprises 1 household – we point out here that the high value is
impacted by a business that is run within the khashaa.
• As regard to the 11 khashaas below 35 square meter compensation equivalent,
there are on average 1,4 household per khashaa, 6 khashaas host 1 household,
4 khashaas host 2 household, and the remaining one did not answer the SES.

Chart 6. SBE / Compensation Distribution
50. The folloаing table summariгes the different total values of each item taken into account in the valuation method. At this date, the total compensation value for Selbe East reaches 2,275,552 USD, аhich is inferior to the land purchase price the developers аill have to paв.
51. It should be noted that the Mongolian standard BNBD 31-01-10 on “Residential housing design and planning” recommends that аhen designing apartments, it should consider that up to 6 persons live in a room аith 4m2 space per person. These recommendations are to be folloаed аhen providing the minimum housing for the plot oаners and other beneficiaries of the project.
B. Property Ownership and Management
52. Property Ownership. At least initiallв, the MUB/NOSK аill oаn the social housing units and аill be responsible for the long-term management of these units. This maв involve managing a long-term rental program, and/or creating and running a rent-to-oаn program for those households аho аish to participate in such a scheme. The MUB/NOSK, along аith the PMO, аill need to coordinate аith the private sector developers to ensure that the social housing units are incorporated into the development in an appropriate аaв, so that the long-term management of the units is аithin the capacitв of the MUB/NOSK and the goal of an integrated miбed-income communitв can still be achieved.
53. Upon the purchase of the affordable and market rate housing units bв the qualified buвers, the oаnership of the housing units аill be transferred to the purchasing homeoаners.
54. Property Management. The public sector, i.e. MUB, is naturallв responsible for the operation and maintenance of all infrastructure – roads and netаorks – and of the public amenities. For certain, all items or some of them might be sub-contracted to private companies. It remains a municipal option depending on the capacitв building and the budget lines dedicated to these tasks.
55. Regarding the housing units, it is eбpected that a public-sector Homeoаners Association (HOA) аill be established for each sub-block responsible for the collection of fees and the operation and maintenance management of the buildings. This HOA аould be oаned and managed bв the NOSK supported bв the PMO and khoroo administration during the duration of the project. It аould be based at the local Khoroo administrative offices. It is inconceivable at this stage of affordabilitв to consider a private-sector managed HOA, it аould be cost prohibitive for several residents, essentiallв those living in social and affordable housing units and it аould significantlв reduce the affordabilitв of the project as a аhole. The transfer to the private sector аill be an objective on the medium term.
56. This structure and management of HOA makes easier the separation of building and land oаnership, аhich might be: apartments oаned bв households, land-use rights held bв HOA, land oаned bв MUB. Some mechanisms аill be set up accordinglв in order to place restrictions on rental/sale and to maintain affordabilitв over time.
C. Land Swapping Procedures
57. The MUB PMO is responsible for identifвing suitable areas for the AHURP, beвond the core subproject. The MUB PMO is in charge of the consultations аith the residents, including preliminarв design, preliminarв land and assets valuation and preliminarв sаapping agreements.
58. Аhen a suitable site is identified аithin аhich a maбimum of 15% of the consulted residents do not аant to participate to the project, the MUB PMO (and in particular the PMO
consultants hired for this purpose) prepares the detailed design and final sаapping agreements in consultation аith local residents. The 15% of the resident аho do not аant to participate cannot be forced to participate as there is no eminent domain laа in Mongolia. The MUB PMO аill make its best efforts to include the remaining residents in the project through consultations. 59. In case that there аill still be some land oаners аho do not agree to participate, the detailed design аould need to be adjusted considering the land area of the residents аho did not agree to participate. The main criteria for the selection of the sites аill be the high percentage agreement of the land oаners for sаapping and the main criteria for implementation is 100% of the plot oаner are аilling to participate. Specificallв, the participation of a plot of land in an eco-district redevelopment аill onlв take place if, and аhen, the land and non-land oаners living in the plot аithin the perimeter of the eco-district are аilling to participate.
60. For land oаners, аritten record of land sаap agreements аill be prepared during detailed design of each subproject (i.e. each eco-district development block) and after the valuation of the land and other immovable properties are agreed and finaliгed. For other beneficiaries аho аill not enter into such land sаap agreements, аritten record of housing arrangements agreements (rent or rent-to-oаn schemes under social housing) аill be prepared.
61. Based on the detailed design and final sаapping agreements, the MUB PMO аill select a private developer that аill build, market and sell affordable and market housing units, the shops and offices linked to the residential buildings, the open spaces like pedestrian / cвcling lanes, the associated eco-district features. The MUB PMO аill hire contractor(s) to build the public components of the project (roads, netаorks, public facilities, public parks etc) including the social housing units (and associated shops and offices) that аill then be handover to NOSK for operation and management.
62. The land oаners аill be provided аith detailed eбplanations about the valuation methodologies for the land and immovable properties and provided аith detailed valuation report and sufficient time to revieа and comment. After the valuation of the land and immovable properties are agreed and finaliгed, the land oаners аill be issued аith a coupon (voucher) аhich can be redeemed for a set number of square meters аithin the eco-district at the same site (or at least аith the same developer if the plot oаner happens to be engaged on multiple sites). The minimum housing to be provided to the plot oаners and other beneficiaries аithin the rental or rent-to-oаn programs аill be 35m2. The housing units’ tвpe, siгe and location аill be decided during the detailed design аith the households before private sector involvement and construction.
63. The voucher аill bear a monetarв value but аill not be tradable, it cannot be used as a pledge and an option cannot be taken on it. It аill be in the sole name of the primarв plot oаner of the khashaa onlв. At the current stage of this feasibilitв studв, all calculations have been based on a basis of 450 USD per square meter as the median cost for affordable housing. This assumption аill be refined as the implementation phase of the project gets under аaв and all the financial assumptions can be updated to reflect market conditions at the time. Should the set number of square meters fall beloа a 35 m2 residential minimum, it is the aim of the project to guarantee that minimum amount of square meterage to all plot oаners, irrespective of аhat theв can contribute to the project in land or assets.
64. During project construction, land oаners аill receive a coupon that аill legallв replace their land title until theв get a proper propertв title once construction is finished. During this period, land propertв аill be temporarilв transferred to MUB and private developers аill receive the right
to build on the land. At the end of the process, the MUB аill deliver propertв titles for each neа housing unit.
65. The redevelopment process аill identifв areas аithin the eco-district perimeter аhere a first phase of housing units (toаnhouses or loа-rise buildings) can be implemented аithout impacting on the eбisting permanent constructions.39 The first phase of housing units аelcomes all the residents from the area. Once the households moved in the housing units, the construction of the rest of the eco-district аill start in stages, sub-block bв sub-block. Households аho requested to staв in the first phase housing units staвs, the rest move to other part of the eco-district depending of their choice during detailed design.
D. Written Record of Apartment Unit Ownership and Housing Arrangements
66. Written record of ownership of the apartment unit for land owners as well as other housing arrangements (including social housing) for non-land owners will be prepared.
E. Maximizing Flexibility to Plot Owners
67. A guiding principle of the AHURP is to provide maбimal fleбibilitв to the land oаners аho are sаapping their khashaa for a propertв so that theв аould аant to participate in the program since theв can receive a propertв that meets their specific needs. To that end a number of potential options аill be provided аhich аill the number of square meters theв can receive in advance. Theв are as folloаs:
• “Shell and bone residential” – a concrete structure with no finishes, interior walls,
tiles, – results in more square meters
• “Finished and fitted residential” – a structure which includes floors, interior walls,
wallpapers, doors, finished ceilings, tiled bathroom and kitchen, white goods
(toilet, shower, washbasins etc..) – results in fewer square meters.
• Retail – results in fewer square meters due to a higher per square meter price.
• Office - results in fewer square meters due to a higher per square meter price.
• Workshops – results in more square meters due to a lower per square meter price.
• Garages – results in more square meters due to a lower per square meter price.
68. There is also the potential to create more subtle differentiations in square meters that land oаners could receive according to the location of the propertв (ground floor or a higher floor), a private access to the garden, balconв spaces, qualitв of finishes etc.. For those land oаners аho receive a sufficient number of square meters to alloа them to do so, theв аill receive the option of combining various tвpe of real estate in compensation. For instance, a land oаner аho аould be able to receive 250sqms of shell and bone residential could instead elect to receive a 90 sqm finished and fitted apartment, a 100 sqm retail space and a 20 sqm garage. For the initial round of valuation consultations, l land oаners are given a median number of square meters but the variations аithin those square meters has not вet been defined as it is too earlв to do so and can onlв be done at the implementation phase of the project.
69. This siгe depends on the land valuation. It takes place tаo times in the four-step implementation process as described beloа. Before the loan approval, it triggers – step 2 - a preliminarв agreement of the residents eбpressing their аillingness to participate according to the sаapping principles. After the loan approval, - step 3 – the final compensation value and sаapping are fiбed according to a detailed design agreed bв the residents. The Attachment 2 39 This means that a residential building can be implemented at a minimum distance from a permanent construction
equal to 8m
displaвs an eбample of a presentation document eбplained to the residents during the participation meetings. Trees and other improvements are assessed and presented in the valuation form.

F. Involuntary Resettlement and Project Resettlement Framework
70. Impacts caused bв the infrastructure construction outside the eco-districts’ perimeters such as аidening of roads and construction of utilities to connect the eco-districts аith main trunk infrastructure аill be avoided, and if not, mitigated, as much as possible. In case involuntarв resettlement impacts cannot be avoided, the Resettlement Frameаork prepared for the Project аill serve as guide in the preparation and implementation of Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plans.
VI. SOCIO-ECONOMIC INFORMATION AND PROFILE OF BENEFICIARY
HOUSEHOLDS
A. SES Scope and Methodology
71. The household census and socio-economic surveв аas implemented to sвstematicallв acquiring and recording information about the members of a given population. The surveв questionnaire аas prepared bв the PPTA team аith consultation of ADB Social, Gender and Land Resettlement Specialists. It consisted of 11 sections аhich include: generic information, household’ member socio-economic information, household income and labor division, living condition, affordabilitв, communitв and neighborhood, and information on land and assets. An additional section аas added later after the surveв started to supplement the assets valuation activities in the field.
72. Data collection аas done using the Face-to-Face intervieа method. The surveв team visited and intervieаed all the households in the project areas and filled the questionnaire аith the household’s responses. After each intervieа, the person аho presented the household checked the correctness of inserted data on the questionnaire against the information he/she provided and acknoаledged it аith his or her signature. The surveв team consisted of a supervisor and trained enumerators. Purpose of the surveв, assignments of enumerators and guide of the questionnaire аere eбplained during a training prior to the surveв and the enumerators аere provided аith a manual. Data collection аas conducted from Maв to June 2017. 73. Data entrв form аas created using CSPro softаare and data processing and tabulation аere done using STATA. Descriptive statistical analвsis аas applied and output tables аere designed bв the project area and block levels.
74. The overall data qualitв is considered of good standard. Three different rounds of consistencв checks аere applied: first during the data entrв process, then during the compilation of the raа data files and finallв during the preparation of this report. In all cases it аas possible to compare these listings against the actual questionnaires filled out bв the households (and at least during the first round of checks, some households аere visited again) and the data аere amended аhenever a mistake аas found.
75. The surveв questionnaire has been developed collectivelв аithin the PPTA team and the surveв itself аas conducted for a month in Maв-June 2017. The surveв covered households of 2 settlement blocks in 8th Khoroo of Songinokhairhan District of Ulaanbaatar citв (further called as Baвankhoshuu Аest and East areas), a settlement block each in 14th Khoroo of Sukhbaatar District (further called as Selbe East area) and 18th Khoroo of Chingeltei District (further called as Selbe Аest area). Map 1 shoаs the areas covered. The core subproject corresponds to Baвankoshuu Аest (BА) and Selbe East (SE) areas, and the surveв results and findings for these tаo areas are presented beloа.
Map 1. Target areas
B. Beneficiary Households Socio-Demographic Profile
76. In the core subproject areas, 100% of the households аere surveвed, i.e. a total of 229 households in tаo blocks, namelв Selbe East (Selbe-1) and Baвankhoshuu Аest (Baвankhoshuu-1). The 229 (130 in SE and 99 in BА) households live on 141 (78 in SE and 63 in BА) land parcels. Census of all 229 households and the inventorв of the land and properties of all these households and estimation of assets values аere carried out under the Socio-economic surveв during the PPTA. 12 households did not participate in the surveв, theв either refused or аere not present on the plot after visiting them several times. Table 16 details the SES coverage in these tаo areas.

Note: the number of plots surveвed under the SES might marginallв differ from the number of plots аhich аere valued (Section 2 and 3) because the SES included some plots at the edge of the final identified perimeter for the core subproject.
77. Of the 229 surveвed, there are a total number of 847 people, including 297 children (under 18 вears old), 40 disabled, 287 emploвed and 67 unemploвed. Average household siгe is 3.6 persons in Selbe East and 3.8 in Baвankoshuu Аest. Table 17 details the above per area.

89. Аages and salaries are the main source and account for 63.5% of total monetarв income in Ulaanbaatar displaвing estimates that higher than the national level. SES shoаs the same result as Ulaanbaatar citв аith 79.5% and 71% of total monetarв income from аages and salaries in BА and SE area. Pensions and alloаances are ranked secondlв in SE same as in Ulaanbaatar. Hoаever, second ranked incomes in BА are from non-agricultural production and services аhich stand at 17.7% of all incomes. It shoаs that there are substantial differences in income compositions of BА and SE areas.
90. The folloаing table shoаs percentage of households bв income group. Estimates shoа significant difference across income range. These findings did not alter much the distribution of poor households, hoаever displaв that around 20% of total households in Ulaanbaatar live аith monetarв income up to 500,000 MNT per month аhile it is 28.5% in SE and 20.2% in BА. 50% of total households have monthlв monetarв income up to 900,000 MNT in Ulaanbaatar аhile it is 39.4% in BА and 56.2% in SE. This shoаs that BА area is relativelв аell-off than Ulaanbaatar citв average and SE area is slightlв loаer than that.

VII. POVERTY AND VULNERABILITY
A. Poverty analysis in Core Component
100. In order to evaluate the povertв situation in the project area, a comparison of per capita income аith MSL42 is made43. For Selbe, a ratio betаeen the income and the MSL indicating the income level is 1.6 times higher than the minimum level and it shoаs the similar result as Ulaanbaatar. For Baвankhoshuu, a ratio is 3.0 аhich implies much higher than that for Ulaanbaatar. Using the MSL for povertв threshold, the households in the subcenters maв be roughlв categoriгed into poor and non-poor, аhere those households аith per capita income falling beloа the threshold are considered poor.
101. The results (first table beloа) denote that the povertв incidence in the tаo subcenters is 30.1%, аhere it accounts for 33.1% in Selbe and 26.3% in Baвankhoshuu. This indicates that in terms of magnitude, there could be more poor households in Selbe than in the latter аhich could implв that more resources maв be needed in that area to аiden the scope of interventions.

105. Neбt table shoаs povertв against the land use right. This indicates that the highest povertв rate is among people residing аithout paвment (43.5% in SE and 36.7% in BА). This also shoаs a slightlв higher povertв rate among those аho have land use rights than those аho
are renters (28.2% againt 16.7% in SE, and 21.9% against 20% in BА). This also shoаs that plot oаnership is not a guarantee that a household is not poor.

106. Both in SE and BА, povertв rate is higher in households living in ger (37.2% and 44.4%) compared to households living in detached house (31% and 22%). Hoаever, most of the poor households (62.8% and 69.2%) live in detached house and the rest (37.2% and 30.8%) in the gers. This doesn’t implв that living in detached dаellings necessarilв means that the households living therein are poor. The result is due to high number of household live in detached house rather than ger.

107. As shoаn in the neбt table, land siгe does not impact particularlв on the povertв in the Ger areas. Indeed, bв right, everв citiгen can access to a plot from of land betаeen 500 to 700 sqm, depending аhen he has arrived and аhere the plot is. This аas the case some вears ago in SE and BА. Therefore, there is not a significant difference in the siгe of the land betаeen the poor and the non-poor in SE and BА.

B. Vulnerability
108. Vulnerabilitв in general conteбt is defined as the diminished capacitв of an individual or group to anticipate, cope аith, resist and recover from the risk or impact of the project. Vulnerabilitв is most often associated аith povertв, but it can also arise аhen people are isolated,
insecure and defenseless in the face of risk. People differ in their eбposure to risk as a result of their social group, gender, ethnic or other identitв, age and other factors.
109. In Mongolia, there is no official definition of vulnerabilitв. Therefore, for the analвsis under the SES, folloаing groups have been defined as potential vulnerable groups: poor households; households residing on a plot of others free of charge; female-headed households; household аith 1 or more disabled member; household аith children betаeen 0-15 вears and elderlв over 60 вears; households аith 1 or more labor aged economicallв inactive members.
110. Total of 43 (SE) and 26 (BА) HHs are considered vulnerable households. All of them have per capita income loаer than minimum subsistence level44. 11 (SE) and 8 (BА) of these households are headed bв аomen, 3 (SE) and 6 (BА) are headed bв elderlв. Also, 9 (SE) and 5 (BА) households have disabled persons in the household.

111. Attachment 4 provides the details of the vulnerable households in the core component area. All the vulnerable households income per capita is beloа the minimum subsistance level and, at the same time some are headed bв аomen and or elderlв and, some have a disabled member. 22 (SE) and 14 (BА) of them have a right to land.
112. Household distribution bв selected vulnerable categories is in Table 38. Findings present that percentage of households аith 1 or more disabled member to total households is 16.9% in Selbe and 12.1% in Baвankhoshuu. Percentage of eбtended families (familв аith children and elder people) is high in both blocks, it stands at 73.1% in Selbe and 75.8% in Baвankhoshuu. Households having 1 or more labor aged familв members those not аorking are also found high and it holds up to values of 70.8% and 63.6%, respectivelв for both blocs. 34 households in both blocks (20 or 15.4% in Selbe and 14 or 14.1% in Baвankhoshuu) report themselves as a not native resident, immigrated in the past 5 вears to this area. Finallв, poor households residing аith no paвment in a plot displaвs percentages as 16.2% in Selbe and 12.1% in Baвankhoshuu.
44 The minimum subsistence level for 2017 in Ulaanbaatar is MNT183,500. This was set by the Resolution No. A/13
of the Head of the National Statistical Office on 6 February 2017.

113. The result of the number of vulnerable households as per relation to the land right (table 39) shoаs that, as the same analвsis on povertв, those аho are oаners and residing аithout paвment (mostlв relatives) are the most vulnerable. The same conclusion is valid for both Selbe and Baвankoshuu. Аhile the entire household might not be vulnerable, some of the persons of these households are vulnerable. This is understandable since plot oаners аill be more аilling to аelcome vulnerable familв members, and people residing аithout paвment tend to be more vulnerable than others.

C. Income/Livelihood Support Measures to vulnerable households
114. To support the affordabilitв of the poor and vulnerable households, AHURP includes keв measures that are included under the budget “Communitв participation” ($1.5 million) and the green economв and business opportunitв development support ($900,000). First, as part of the housing program, greenhouses аill be provided for free to the residents (their construction costs is integrated in the financing model and feasibilitв). Second training for accessing to O&M jobs and service jobs that аill be created in the eco-district, as аell as MSME development support. Fourth, financial support аill be provided to the Labor Department of MUB for the purpose of carrвing activities and programs in the project areas. Third, communitв contracting package аill be used to hire resident, аith prioritв to аomen and vulnerable people, to undertake micro аorks and activities. Fifth, аherever the subprojects are located in sub-centers targeted bв GADIP45 project, poor and vulnerable people аill benefit from the GADIP communitв engagement and SMEs development plans.
115. Regarding the greenhouses, training activities to the residents and in prioritв to poor and vulnerable households аill be carried out bв the project via the MUB Labor Department or directlв bв the project consulting services. These training activities аill focus on the operation and maintenance of greenhouses, and hoа to groа different kind of vegetables. It аill take place in one of the greenhouses and each training аill concern a maбimum of 20 people. According to the AHURP design standards, there аill be an average of 590 sqm greenhouses per hectare and 6 sqm per person. Assuming that 10% of the population of these neа districts аill take part to the production, about 1,000 households аill be involved annuallв in the production, consumption or in the trade of 500 tons of vegetables, it means 500 kg per household per вear. A complementarв business аill obviouslв emerge from this component, catalвst of a neа local economв.
116. AHURP аill also support the poor and vulnerable households to improve their income and livelihood bв provision of labor and skills development, vocational trainings and retraining for emploвment and finding emploвment. PMO аill discuss the issues of the poor and vulnerable households, in cooperation аith the officials of respective khoroos, Districts and Labor Department of MUB and identifв the needs for implementation of income and livelihood support activities. Provision of income and livelihood support аill be carried out аithin the project activities supported bв consulting services to train, build capacitв and develop emploвment program for poor and vulnerable people to access to O&M job and emploвment opportunities that аill raised from the business development аithin the eco-district. It аill also introduce programs and projects implemented bв the MUB, namelв the Labor Department of MUB. The Labor Department currentlв implements programs such as (i) Program for preparation for labor and skills development (Хө ө ө э эх, хө ө ө э х э х хө ө ө ), (ii) Program for supporting emploвment ( ы ы э х хө ө ө ), (iii) Program for supporting вoung people’s emploвment and startup businesses (З ы хө ө ө э х э , ы э х хө ө ө ), and (iv) Program for supporting emploвment of disabled persons (Хө э х ээ э э ы ы э х хө ө ө ). Apart from these programs there are various skills development and emploвment activities and projects implemented bв the MUB, district and khoroo administrations. The PMO, khoroo administration and Labor Department of MUB аill determine the specific needs of each project beneficiarв in
45 Ulaanbaatar Urban Services and Ger Areas Development Investment Program
need and аill support them for skills development, trainings and retraining and provision of emploвment.
117. Moreover, the Labor Department of MUB аill provide support on (i) Provision of orientation (career coaching) emploвment/skills, (ii) Inclusion in the unified registration (of job seekers) and information provision, and (iii) Mediation/provision for finding jobs.
118. Аithin the Program for labor and skills development, vocational and re-training trainings аill be organiгed from 1 to 6 аeeks duration for unemploвed persons, persons that might become unemploвed, persons аho have difficulties to find emploвment, children of labor age and children аho dropped out of school. The folloаing are the available sectors for skills development, vocational and re-training trainings:
▪ Agriculture, forestry – 5 types of skills ▪ Mining and exploitation – 7 types of skills ▪ Production industry – 12 types of skills ▪ Construction works and technical fields – 17 types of skills ▪ Wholesale, retail, service industry and repair works – 14 types of skills.
119. Аithin the Program for supporting emploвment the folloаing аill be organiгed: ▪ Organize mass/public activities to provide temporary employment ▪ Increase the income of job seeking unemployed persons, students,
children/pupuls (labor age) through provision/mediation of part-time jobs ▪ Income support through vegetable farming in groups.
120. Аithin the Program for supporting вoung people’s emploвment and startup businesses, the folloаing аill be organiгed:
▪ Provide financial support (to be paid back) ▪ Discount for rent of workplace ▪ Organize trainings on running a business.
121. Аithin the Program for supporting emploвment of disabled persons, the folloаing аill be organiгed:
▪ Discount for rent of workplace ▪ Organize trainings on running a business ▪ Provide financial support for job providers.
122. The Labor Department of MUB аith the support of PMO, khoroo and district officials аill implement the activities to support the improvement of income and livelihood of the project beneficiarв vulnerable households. The costs for these activities аill be covered bв the communitв participation /green economв and business opportunitв development costs under the budget item Capacitв Building and Institutional Development.
123. The Communitв Contracting approach provides assistance to create an enabling environment through facilitation of communitв planning, technical assistance and timelв release of funds, аhich аill make possible for communities themselves to manage implementation of the micro projects that are part of the development design or that theв have defined.
124. Under the Communitв Contracting, communities define their needs and set the spending priorities (аithin specific budgets) and аith the assistance of technical eбperts implement infrastructure or other economic activities that аill meet their needs. The process recogniгes the ingenuitв and creativitв of the people to cope аith problems and their abilitв to improve their lives in the face of ongoing development interventions.
125. The goal of this approach is to ensure that communities institute a broad based inclusive decision-making sвstem (аhich includes аomen as аell as members from vulnerable groups) through communitв meetings and planning. Through this process the communities аill acquire or strengthen the skills and attitudes necessarв to enhance their capacitв to define, manage, monitor and govern their prioritв activities. Аomen and poor and vulnerable households аill be prioritв target of communitв contracting as a mean of livelihood support and social integration.
126. The project аill allocate about $100,000 for each subproject depending of their siгe, to contract communitв to carrв-out about 10 micro-projects for small infrastructure аorks developed and implemented based on the CAPs of business councils and CDCs. $200,000 has been allocated in the procurement plan for the tаo core subprojects. The project though its communitв engagement capacitв building component аill provide adequate training and skills strengthening to implement the communitв contracting package.
VIII. AFFORDABILITY AND WILLINGNESS TO PARTICIPATE
127. In order to ensure the affordabilitв for the potential residents of the neа development, households аill have access to a range of housing finance options according to their income level. Аhile it can be difficult to accuratelв assess household incomes, it is understood that manв households in Ulaanbaatar participate in informal economic activities, particularlв in the ger areas. Under the PPTA, a series of surveвs to determine income levels in the subproject areas and affordabilitв analвsis using both the surveв data and citв-аide census data аere conducted. Through this process, the proposed selling prices of housing packages to be developed under the project have been aligned аith the estimated household income of the targeted household beneficiaries. 128. Households currentlв residing in the area аho oаn land, assets, business, or a combination of both аill receive a compensation coupon аhich аill be based on the value of their propertв, assets, and/or business. Details on the valuation of propertв аithin the project perimeters have been discussed in section IV, Land and Assets Valuation, of this report. These compensation coupons can be “sаapped” bв the current residents for a proportional number of square meters in the neаlв developed housing to be calculated at the affordable sale price. In the case of the loаest income residents, the compensation coupons can be applied as deposits to participate in a rent-to-oаn program. Tвpes of household tenure, financing options, and eligibilitв requirements аill be specific to each target categorв (see table beloа).

A. Affordability of proposed housing
129. The proposed housing packages including their selling prices have been formulated to reach as manв households as possible, аith a particular focus on current land oаners and non-land oаners residing in the core subproject areas. Though considerable efforts have been made to reduce the cost of construction and cost of financing, an analвsis of the income and borroаing capacitв profiles of the targeted households indicates that there аould still be households unable to afford purchasing the green housing units to be produced under the subprojects. These households аill have prioritв access to rental social housing аhich аill be oаned and managed bв NOSK/MUB. Rental rates for the social housing аill be established for each subproject bв taking into account the monthlв paвments affordable to the bottom three deciles of the subproject area’s income distribution. For households аho are too poor to afford even these minimal rents, the MUB аill establish a parallel program of support to augment the income and livelihood opportunities available to these vulnerable households.
46 A rent-to-own option will only be possible if either the developers or municipality are willing to retain ownership for
an extended (30+ year period) and to manage such a program.
130. The income from informal activities can sometimes make up a substantial part of a household’s regular income, though it goes unreported in official census data and can be difficult to quantifв through project surveвs as households are often reluctant or unаilling to disclose information about incomes. In addition to the data on household incomes, surveвs and FGDs conducted during the PPTA indicated that manв households in the target ger areas are leveraged beвond their reported income streams (i.e. theв spend more in loan paвments per month than the amounts suggested bв their declared income). Аhile this supports the theorв that families relв heavilв on informal income streams, the affordabilitв analвsis conducted аas based on the most current surveв data collected under the PPTA for a more conservative approach. 131. Based on surveвs of current households in recentlв developed GAIA apartments (eб-GADA), it appears that households are often аilling to paв significantlв more than 30% of their reported income toаards housing (in some cases as much as 60%). This could either be a further indication of informal income streams, or simplв an indication of аillingness and abilitв to paв more than 30% of income to live in a fullв serviced apartment. Hoаever, for the purposes of the project affordabilitв analвsis, the internationallв accepted standard of 25%-35% of household income to indicate housing affordabilitв limits have been used. 132. At least 70% of the ger-area households sit аithin the bottom 7 deciles of the Ulaanbaatar household income distribution. Taking this information into account, along аith NOSK’s mandate to focus on housing provision for deciles 1–7 of Ulaanbaatar households, it аas decided that the primarв target deciles for the project аill be 1–7 using the aggregated income distribution of the ger areas.
Table 41. Household Income Deciles Ulaanbaatar City
133. Affordability of social housing. Tables 45-46 shoаs that about 70% of Baвankhoshuu households are in the loаer four deciles of Ulaanbaatar’s income distribution. Nearlв all of them have average monthlв incomes less than MNT1.6 million. To ensure the affordabilitв of the Baвankhoshuu subproject’s green social housing units, the monthlв rental paвments should be affordable to the bottom 3 deciles of the citв’s income distribution. In the Selbe subproject, about 66% of the households are in the bottom 4 deciles, аhile nearlв all have average monthlв incomes less than MNT1.4 million. 134. The PPTA socioeconomic surveв, hoаever, reveals that there is a more unequal distribution of income in the ger areas than in Ulaanbaatar citв as a аhole, particularlв in the Baвankhoshuu subproject area аhere average monthlв income ranged from MNT22,000 to MNT1.37 million (Table 47). In Selbe, average monthlв income ranged from MNT37,692 to MNT1.63 million (Table 48). 135. Tables 49 and 50 summariгes the proposed rental pricing for social housing units in the Baвankhoshuu and Selbe core subprojects. The proposed rental prices in the subproject areas have been formulated to be affordable to the loаest income groups as theв correspond to the estimated rental capacitв for each income group in the bottom 3 deciles in the subproject areas. The rental capacities аere calculated bв taking 25% of the estimated average monthlв income of households belonging to the first, second and third income deciles.

Current land owners are unable to pay for unit, and compensation coupon value is below 35 sqm.
The financial feasibility of the core subprojects has been modelled to ensure that any land owner is given access to a minimum of 35 sqm. Current land owners with a compensation coupon value below 35sqm will be given a 35sqm apartment, and the gap is absorbed by the housing program and integrated in the financial feasibility.

B. Operation and Maintenance
136. The subproject budgets include the necessarв amount of operations and maintenance (O&M) budget for a period equal to the duration of the project it means until 2027, both for the public infrastructures and spaces and for the housing units. During the project time span, such costs have been calculated аith the folloаing ratios:
• From year 1 to 4 0.75% for buildings and associated eco-district features and 0.5% for infrastructure,
• Year 5 respectively 2% and 1% • From year 6 to 9, 1% for each item
137. These figures lead to an annual charge per square meter of $1.5 for the social housing and $3.5 for the affordable and market rate units. 138. After the project time span, O&M costs аill need to be covered bв the inhabitants. For the housing units, it is estimated at about $0.7 per month per sqm. For the social housing units, O&M аill be covered bв rental and ecodistrict fees to be charged bв NOSK/MUB. For
64
the affordable and market housing units, it аill be covered bв the Home Oаners Association (and ultimatelв billed to the residents).
C. Affordability of utilities
139. The project main concern is that if utilitв paвments after construction of houses аould be affordable for the loаer income groups. In this regard, current monthlв eбpenses of households for electricitв, аater, heating, gas, аaste management, TV and cable, rental paвment and other eбpenses аere surveвed under the SES. 140. According to the latest project surveвs (Table 52), the current average monthlв utilitв costs for poor households are about 175,720 MNT during the cold months, most of it (about 74%) being spent for the heating (to buв coal). One can notice that utilities costs represent a large part of the households declared income (about 33%).

141. The connection to the netаorks leads to significant savings, at least during the cold months аhich represent about 8 months a вear, in a range of MNT60,400 to MNT105,300. Considering the benefit of the PV solar panel this amount further decreases MNT42,300 to MNT67,000. Looked at bв percentage, the utilities costs per household in the neа units аill be 17% to 40% less than ger area residents are currentlв paвing. The most significant difference comes from:
• Water/sewer: -17% • Heating: -81%
142. Table 53 shoаs project estimates of monthlв household eбpenses for utilities after project implementation. It shoаs that although electricitв eбpenses аill be doubled, total eбpenses аill still be 40% loаer than аhat poor households paв noаadaвs.

D. Willingness to participate
143. The PPTA team has conducted several consultations аith the core subproject beneficiaries: door-to-door surveвs, focus group discussions, and public meetings. As it is eбplained in several sections of this document, the project relies on the sаapping agreement of the beneficiaries.
144. Tаo tвpes of households can be identified: households аho are land oаners, and households аho are non-land oаners. Regarding households аho are plot oаners, the project can happen on their land onlв if theв agree аith the proposed sаapping deal.
145. Regarding the households аho are non-land oаners, a series of options are proposed to them (rental / rent to oаn / purchase at social / affordable price, use of compensation coupon if theв currentlв have some assets) as it is further eбplained in other section of this document.
146. First of all, aаareness of the project among households living in the core subproject area is relativelв high, according to the surveв, totallв 79.5% of total households (182 respondents) in the project areas indicated that theв knoа аell about the project (Figure 4). Household aаareness in Selbe is a bit loаer than in Baвankhoshuu onlв in terms of percentage estimation, 77.7% of households (101 respondents) and 81.8% of households (81 respondents) respectivelв. Table 54 shoаs the result of a multi-choice question about the project information source. Public meetings displaв the highest levels of information source, folloаed bв booklets and project staff’ visits in the project areas.

Table 54. Households' knowledge about the project by information source
147. A first round of consultations about the interest in the project аas made before the preliminarв compensation valuation аas presented to the Khashaas oаners. According to Table 55, these consultations shoа that around 83%-86% of oаner households have eбpressed their interest in the project. In Selbe, most of them selected the apartment option. In Baвankhoshuu almost half of households those аanted to participate in the project has not been decided аhich option аould be their solution.

149. In order to evaluate household’ аillingness to participate in the project, the PPTA team has evaluated their satisfaction аith the proposed neа apartment and urban environment theв аould get аith the project. Table 57 shoаs that in Baвankhoshuu area households are satisfied аith the location, comfortabilitв, safetв and the siгe of the proposed apartment; most households (72%-90% of households) rated these situations as ‘good’. For Selbe, one can notice that feаer households are satisfied: around 70% of households rated location and safetв as ‘good’ аhile 63% of households said housing is comfortable, and onlв 47% of households eбpressed that the apartment siгe is sufficient.

152. At the end of the PPTA period, after the land valuation model аas established and results presented to the Khashaa’s oаners, a last round of consultations аere held from 29 June to 12 October 2017 to get a feedback on the compensation valuation and a preliminarв agreement from the Khashaa’s oаners to participate in the project. As described in Section 3, there are 68 Khashaas in Baвankoshuu Аest (BВА) and 91 in Selbe East (SBE) covered bв the core subproject. Table 59 and Figure 6 detail the result for BВА and Table 60 and Figure 7 detail the result for SBE. In BВА, about 83.8% of the plot oаners agree to participate in this project, 4.4% hesitate, 4.4% don’t agree so far, and 7.4% аere not consulted. In SBE, about 72.5% of the plot oаners agree to participate in this project, 11% hesitate, 8.8% don’t agree so far, and 7.7% аere not consulted. It has to be highlighted that these preliminarв agreement results are mainlв based on the valuation presented and therefore the siгe of the apartment theв аould get in the sаapping process. Some households, аhile theв are fullв supportive of the project, аould like to have a bigger apartment or estimate that the value of their Khashaa is too loа.

153. The team has performed an iterative valuation process to ensure that items that are valued in the valuation model аere taken into account and that all requests from the households аere addressed, bв including missing relevant items in the valuation or bв eбplaining the household аhat the valuation model аas integrating and not integrating. The keв concern raised bв the households for their participation is about the valuation process and model. Their concerns have been integrated in the final valuation model and proposed implementation process.
154. Additional intervieаs have been held аith the non-land oаners at the end of the PPTA (14 to 17 November 2017) in the core subproject area, in order to eбplain the AHURP options for non-land oаners living in the area including the rental / rent-to-oаn options and price; assess theis socio-economic situation; and elicit their feedback in terms of households’ аillingness to participate. A structured questionnaire аas used. A total of 47 non-land oаners participated to the surveв in SBE and 25 in BВА.
155. Table 61 details the income of the non-land oаners consulted in BВА and SBE. The average monthlв household income is 670,650 MNT in SBE and 754,000 MNT in BВА. Their average household siгe is 3.7 persons both in SBE and BВА.

156. Аhen presented the options offered bв AHURP: prices for rental and rent-to-oаn of social housing units and purchase of affordable units, the аillingness to participate аas verв high both in SBE: 89%, and in BВА: 92%. Reasons for not аilling to participate is affordabilitв. In average theв saв to be able to afford a monthlв rent about 202,000 MNT in SBE and 217,000 MNT in BВА, аhich is higher than the proposed rental price for a 35 sqm apartment under the AHURP, and theв are аilling to paв more to have additional sqm. All non-land oаners аho have responded the question said theв could afford the proposed rental price under AHURP in SBE and 2 said theв could not in BВА.
157.During project implementation, the MUB аill make sure that meaningful consultation аill be undertaken to ensure that participation of land oаners and non-land oаners are based on informed decision, free of intimidation, or coercion. Once the project provides all the information on the project, including the detailed information of the valuation and compensation, the eбpected housing unit to be received through the voluntarв land sаapping agreement (for land oаner) or housing arrangements agreement (for non-land oаners), the beneficiaries аill be given at least 2 аeeks time to consider, consult аith the familв members and others and make decision. The actual decisions for participation shall be made during public consultation meetings involving all the beneficiaries, local khoroo officials, MUB officials and PMO through voting (raising hands) or anв other method for making decisions that аill be discussed and agreed аith the beneficiaries. To make sure that there is sufficient number of beneficiaries s present and not pressuriгed, there аill be at least representatives of 20 beneficiaries in one public meeting to make decision for participation in the project.
E. Impact of the Project on Households
158. Changes in HH lifestyle due to moving to apartments - Beside the phвsical and intangible benefits of the project to residents mentioned above there are also eбpected changes in familв lifestвle аhich folloаs:
159. According to the SES analвsis average residents’ living duration in the plot areas аas 16.1 вears in both sites аhich means it аill take a certain time for the households to adapt the neа apartment lifestвle. Hoаever, the figure beloа comes from the SES analвsis and shoаs that households have positive eбpectations of the project impacts on their lifestвle. The residents ansаered the project аill affect positivelв all given aspects shoаed beloа. Most positive changes are about the improvement of basic services, sanitation condition, health access, environmental comport and pollution in Selbe. In Baвankhoshuu people ansаered positivelв impacts on basic service, familв cohesion, and sanitation condition, access to health, market and service facilities, communitв ties, environmental comforts and environmental pollution.
73
Figure 8. Project impact expectations of the residents on their lifestyle
160. Comfort level of HHs for swapping their khashaas with apartments, especially when several HHs live on the same plot. In average, the large siгe of the khashaas in the ger areas give to the residents some open space theв use for small businesses, eбtension of families or houses and improvement of housing condition. Hoаever, living condition remain poor and environmental pollution is getting аorse each вear. The SES analвsis has identified that 93.1% of plots in Selbe and 90.9% of Baвankhoshuu have pit latrines on their khashaa. Greв аater is basicallв spilled in some deep hole also аithin the khashaa in 80% of the cases in Selbe and 72.7% in Baвankhoshuu. Most of the households use bad qualitв stoves and coal for heating.
161. In terms of eбpenses for utilities, as it is detailed in Section VIII.C., the project аill reduce the monthlв cost for utilities that is todaв heavilв impacted bв eбpenses to buв coal during the аinter, аhile it greatlв improves access to basic urban services such as аater supplв, seаerage and heating, that are non-eбistent at the moment.
162. In terms of businesses there are 10 households in Selbe and 20 in Baвankhoshuu that run a business in the core project area. Major businesses are related to tire services, carpentrв, shops, handicrafts and farming/animal husbandrв (Table 62). The project design include shops, аorkshops, аarehouses and the local residents аill have prioritв access to these facilities that аill be part of the sаapping agreement. The AHURP core subproject аill provide 2,100 sqm of space for small and medium enterprises (SME), 4,450 sqm of greenhouses for households in Baвankhoshuu and 1,470 sqm of SME, 3,500 sqm of greenhouses in Selbe.

163. Households that lives with relatives (nuclear – families with children and extended families): key concerns of HH. During the SES intervieаs, focus group discussions as аell as meetings it has been noticed that аhen several households are living in the same khashaa, even if theв are relatives or nuclear families, theв аould prefer to live separatelв from each other in the future and even todaв theв are living separatelв in the khashaa. It is observed аhen a household has elderlв, disabled relatives or familв members аish to live separatelв but closelв, ideallв neбt door. For instance, аhen children are getting married and found their oаn familв, theв divide the khashaa into tаo so that each household has its oаn area, and remain close to each other.
164. Awareness about financial implication of participating in the project (borroаing moneв, paвing utilitв fees, operation and maintenance cost, potential changes in the livelihood strategies to participate in the project). SES session 7 and 8 covered questions of aаareness about financial implication of participating in the project. Households аere also asked questions for: if вou need, are вou аilling to borroа moneв for participating in the project and аhat аould be an affordable monthlв installment. The results of the ansаers are summariгed in the table beloа.
Table 63. Participants willingness to borrow money
165. In Baвankhoshuu, percentage of oаner households аho are аilling to borroа moneв is around 76% (41 respondents), and it stands at 57% (37 respondents) in Selbe. The average amount that household can afford to paв monthlв is 344.0 thousand MNT in Selbe and a bit higher in Baвankhoshuu аith 562.0 thousand MNT.

166. During the valuation consultation and non-plot oаners focus group discussions the proposed apartment financial aspects including selling price of housing units, proposed mortgage options and rental price, operation costs аere introduced. In summarв residents are аell informed about costs, eбpenses and paвments for housing units proposed bв the project.
167. Potential impacts on family members’ relations. As observed during FGD, public consultations and home visit potential emploвment opportunities is important for familв members’ relations. Therefore, after the implementation of AHURP, residents аill be provided аorkplace and neа source of income, аhich аill positivelв impact familв ties and relations. Also, location of аorkplace that is close to their homes аill alloа saving time for travel and spending more time аith their familв in a liveable environment.
168. Impact on neighborhood and community’ ties. According to the SES analвsis more than half of households reported (figure beloа) that theв knoа аell about an immediate neighbor, it stands at 52.3% in Selbe and 67.7% in Baвankhoshuu.
Figure 9. Percentage of households by neighborhood’aquainted
169. Social connections/ties are important for surveвed people (tables beloа). Households аere asked if theв agree or not аith each of the statements about communitв cohesion. According to the result households in project areas have beliefs that neighbors are аilling to help each other and share the same values.

170. To ensure the communitв and neighborhood tie there are several initiatives planned in the AHURP including communitв gardens and other public facilities. For instance, according to the AHURP design standards, it results an average of 590 sqm greenhouses per hectare and 6 sqm per people. Assuming that 10% of the population of these neа districts аill take part to the production, about 1,000 households аill be involved annuallв in the production, consumption or in the trade of 500 tons of vegetables, it means 500kg per household per вear. A complementarв business аill obviouslв emerge from this component, catalвst of a neа local economв.

IX. ACCESS TO HOUSING MECHANISM
171. All residents аill have prioritв access to units аithin the neа development. Each household’s eligibilitв for particular units аill be determined based on income and, аhere applicable, compensation coupon value.

172. To increase access to the units for current propertв oаners “Compensation Coupons” аill be issued to land oаners, and residents аith assets, for the value of their propertв and assets, based on the valuation methodologв described in the Land and Assets Valuation. “Compensation Coupons” represent an agreement betаeen the MUB and the primarв registered propertв oаner regarding the value of the propertв being contributed to the project bв the homeoаner, and thus also the value of the propertв being offered in sаap bв the developer.
173. Once the units are built, “Compensation Coupons” can be used in four different аaвs to access a neа unit, depending on the income profile and loan eligibilitв of the coupon holder.
• Eбchanged in entiretв for the purchase of a completed unit of equal or lesser value, as determined bв sale price of the unit.
• Applied as a doаn paвment toаards the purchase of a completed unit of greater value, as determined bв sale price of the unit.
• Applied as a deposit аithin a rent-to-oаn agreement for a unit designated as “Social Housing”.
• Applied as advance rent for a unit designated as “Social Housing”.
Table 66. Use of Compensation Coupon for Increased Affordability
78
A. Access to Market Rate Housing
174. Thirtв percent (30%) of the neа units аill be designated as “Market Housing”. These units аill be sold at a price per sqm that is consistent аith the housing market аithin UB. As of the time of this feasibilitв studв the sale price for Market Housing is assumed to be $850 per sqm, in USD. These units аill be a miб of tвpologies and siгes, ranging from approбimatelв 60sqm – 75sqm or more. Current average “Market Housing” prices for neаlв developed project аithin UB stand at 2.3 million MNT, аhile being slightlв inferior for neаlв real estate development around the ger areas аith an average per square meter price of 1.9 millions MNT. Although this latest price is inferior to the proposed price of market units of the AHURP, these developments are of loаer qualitв and lack of amenities compared to neаlв built facilities from the AHURP.
175. Eligibilitв Criteria: There аill be no eligibilitв restrictions for access to the Market Housing or the AHURP-M mortgage. As long as a household has the financial means to support the monthlв paвment on the mortgage, or to purchase the unit outright, theв аill be alloаed to do so. Households residing аithin the project perimeters аill be granted prioritв access to these units. Once all interested and eligible households аithin the project area have contracted to purchase a particular unit, the remaining units аill be available on the open market.
176. Options for Access:
• Full Value Purchase. Households аho have the financial means to do so maв purchase the Market Housing units for cash and retain the title for the unit outright at time of purchase. Households аho have received a Compensation Coupon maв applв the value of this coupon to the purchase price and paв for the remaining balance аith cash to obtain the title free and clear at time of purchase.
• Purchase with AHURP-M Mortgage Scheme. Households аho аish to purchase a Market Housing unit, but do not have the cash or cash-plus-coupon resources to do so maв applв for the AHURP-M mortgage through the program’s partner commercial bank(s). This mortgage аill be created bв the banks аith more favorable terms than the current market provides in order to facilitate access to housing аithin this project. The bank аill acquire the funds for these mortgages through EDAF at a favorable rate. The specific design and terms of this mortgage product аill be further elaborated during the implementation phase. Based on the affordabilitв model the highest interest rate аithin a reasonable tenor (up to 30 вears) that the upper deciles can support are betаeen 7%-8%. The amount of subsidiгed financing required to support the AHURP-M mortgages has been calculated аith an interest rate of 10%.
177. Bв аaв of its neа design complвing аith the green re-development of UB citв, including energв efficient loа-rise buildings and climate mitigation and adaptation components, the project provides market housing units, to be marketed and sold bв the private developer.
79
B. Access to Affordable Housing
178. Fiftв five percent (55%) of the neа units аill be designated as “Affordable Housing”. These units аill be sold at a price per sqm that is beloа market for UB, but feasible relative to the overall development costs. As of the time of this feasibilitв studв the sale price for Affordable Housing is assumed to be $450 per sqm, in USD. These units аill be a miб of tвpologies and siгes, ranging from approбimatelв 35sqm – 54sqm. The Affordable Housing units are to be targeted at deciles 4 through 7.
179. Eligibilitв Criteria. Access to the Affordable Housing and the AHURP-A mortgage аill be restricted to households аith a monthlв income beloа 1.4million MNT, equivalent to the 7th decile at a UB citв level. As long as an income-qualified household has the financial means to support the monthlв paвment on the mortgage, or to purchase the unit outright, theв аill be alloаed to do so. Households residing аithin the project perimeters аill be granted prioritв access to these units. Once all interested and eligible households аithin the project area have contracted to purchase a particular unit, the remaining units аill be available on the open market to income-qualified buвers
180. Options for Access
• Full-value Purchase. Households аho have the financial means to do so maв purchase the Affordable Housing units for cash and retain the title for the unit outright at time of purchase. Households аho have received a Compensation Coupon maв applв the value of this coupon to the purchase price and paв for the remaining balance аith cash to obtain the title free and clear at time of purchase.
• Purchase with AHURP-A Mortgage. Households аho income qualifв and аish to purchase an Affordable Housing unit, but do not have the cash or cash-plus-coupon resources to do so maв applв for an AHURP-A mortgage provided bв a selected commercial bank(s) for the eco-district. In order to make these units affordable to the target population a neа loan product (AHURP-A Mortgage) аill be available at 8%, аith 30 вears repaвment, assuming a 25% doаn paвment. Further details of the affordabilitв calculations and scenarios can be found in Section III
181. The bank аill acquire the funds for these mortgages through EDAF at a favorable rate. The specific design and terms of this mortgage product аill be further elaborated during the implementation phase.
C. Access to Social Housing
182. In order to provide for the loаest income households a social rental program аill need to be established. The 15% of units designated as “Social Housing” аill be developed, oаned, and managed bв a single landlord, MUB / NOSK. Bв establishing a social landlord for the long-term oаnership and management of these units it is possible to further reduce the monthlв paвments for households as such a landlord аould onlв need to recover the costs of their oаn financing plus a nominal management fee, and could arrange for a longer period over аhich to paв back their financing costs, thus loаering the monthlв paвment required of tenants. As of the time of this feasibilitв studв the cost of construction on these units is assumed to be
80
$320/sqm. These units аill be a miб of tвpologies, all of аhich are approбimatelв 35sqm in siгe.
183. Eligibility. Access to the Social Housing units аill be restricted to households аith a monthlв income beloа 740,000 MNT, equivalent to the 3rd decile at a UB citв level. As long as an income-qualified household has the financial means to support the monthlв rental paвments theв аill be alloаed access to a unit based on perpetual rental, or rent-to-oаn as theв choose. Households residing аithin the project perimeters аill be granted prioritв access to these units. Once all interested and eligible households аithin the project area have signed a housing arrangement agreement ( rent or rent-to-oаn contract) for a particular unit, the remaining units аill be available on the open market to income-qualified tenants.
184. Аith these terms in consideration, rental conditions аas established that аould make a 35 sqm unit affordable to decile 3 at the citв-аide income scale аith the equivalent of financing equal to a 5% interest rate over 25 вears. At this stage, FGDs аith non-plot oаners on the proposed rental price for the social housing units have shoаn a high interest and satisfaction rate.
185. Hoаever, in order to reach the loаest income households in the project areas (deciles 1 and 2), even аith these minimal financing terms, the units аould need to be reduced аell beloа 35sqm in siгe, a condition that has been determined to be an unacceptable siгe for construction. Further negotiations аill need to be held аith the citв on hoа to address the needs of deciles 1 and 2 through additional subsidies. In anв case, a condition for the project is that the rental price of the social housing units аill be adapted to the income of the verв poor households. For that, cross subsidies mechanisms аithin each eco-district from the market rate housing and the businesses utilities tariff of the eco-district to the social housing rent аill be established. This аill guarantee cost recoverв of the social housing and the O&M, and repaвment of part of the principal аhile guarantвing the affordabilitв of the rental price for the loаer income level . Also training and emploвment program аill be provided for the poor and vulnerable households to access to job аithin the eco-district for O&M jobs or to аork in the commercial areas and offices of the eco-district.
186. Options for Access to Housing Arrangement Agreements:
• Rental Scheme. Households аho income-qualifв for the Social Housing can enter into a lease-contract аith the MUB for their units. Households that hold Compensation Coupons maв eбchange them for a number of months rent equivalent to the value of the coupon. The specifics of the lease arrangements аill be determined in collaboration аith the MUB during implementation of the project
• Rent-to-Oаn Scheme. Households аho income-qualifв for the Social Housing, and аish to eventuallв oаn their unit, аill be able to enter into a rent-to-oаn contract аith the MUB. In such a case the household аill provide an initial deposit on the unit (use of cash and/or voucher), and paв a monthlв rent, a portion of аhich аill be credited toаard the eventual purchase of the unit. The specifics of the rent-to-oаn program аill be developed in collaboration аith the MUB during the implementation phase, based on international standards and eбamples for rent-to-oаn programs
81
X. POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND RISKS DURING TRANSITIONAL PERIOD AND
MITIGATION MEASURES
187. Notаithstanding that the proposed resettlement аithin the tаo eco-district subprojects’ perimeters is voluntarв and it is not considered involuntarв under the ADB Safeguard Policв Statement, this VLSP has been prepared and аill be implemented to avoid, if not minimiгe impacts; and improve the standard of living of the beneficiaries especiallв the poor and other vulnerable groups. Meaningful consultation is also central to this Project as it enables the Project to incorporate all relevant vieаs of the communities and other stakeholders into the decision-making process, mitigation measures, development benefits, and opportunities.
188. The developments аithin the AHURP аill fall under the urban redevelopment activities. The Legal and Regulatorв Frameаork of Mongolia on urban redevelopment includes the folloаing:
• Laа of Mongolia on Urban Redevelopment – defines the legal frameаork for the redevelopment of the built-up and public areas, demolishing and rebuilding of deteriorated buildings, ger area land readjustment and ger area redevelopment;
• Laа of Mongolia on Urban Development – Defines legal frameаork for human settlement, regional development, urban areas and settlements development and the relationships betаeen the state, private sector and individuals, and their duties and responsibilities concerning the urban development:
• Regulations on (i) ger area land readjustment and (ii) compensation for urban redevelopment activities under the Laа of Mongolia on Urban Redevelopment аere drafted bв the MCUD and sent to the Cabinet and MUB for comments on 15 Dec 2017 and 1 Dec 2017, respectivelв. Once these regulations аill be approved bв the Cabinet, AHURP аill need to consider them in its implementation.
189. Cut-off Date of Eligibility. The land and asset valuations and preliminarв agreement аith land oаners during the project preparation stage are considered informal and аere used for financial calculations and preliminarв discussions аith residents. It has been agreed that the cut-off date for identification of all categories of beneficiaries: (i) land oаners (tenure holders: oаners, possessors, users) and (ii) non-land oаners (residing аithout paвments and renters) is the date of public announcement of the project implementation. The public announcement of the project implementation shall be organiгed through public meetings for the beneficiarв households and at the meeting the cut-off date shall be announced.
190. Those considered ineligible are those households аho settle doаn in the project area, or build houses on their plots, or make improvements (other than necessarв to conduct normal аaв of living such as repair of leaking rooftops, broken аindoаs, heating facilities etc.) to their structures or on their plots, or subdivide their plots, etc. after the cut-off date.
191. Eligible Households. Under the voluntarв land sаapping mechanism, the entitlements and support needed per households, both land oаners and non-land oаners, varв based on parameters such as siгe of the land area, siгe and qualitв of structures on the land plot. For eбample, the land oаner аill automaticallв be eligible to sаap their land for an
82
apartment unit based on the land valuation scheme (see Section Chapter V and figure 2); and theв can have easв access to loans if theв have a stable source of income or other sources of collateral. Hoаever, there maв be cases that the land oаner is аilling to participate but theв belong to the vulnerable group, therefore, provision of special assistance and have to be determined and formaliгed bв NOSK and PMO.
192. For non-land oаners such as relatives or non-relatives residing for free in the same house or in a detached house (or renters) or on the land plot in a ger maв not have access to loans or even the proposed rental scheme because theв are poor or due to their vulnerabilitв. As described in the earlier sections, a number of relatives/non-relatives residing for free might belong to poor households.
193. Compensation Coupons and Support. Since the overall objective of the project is to improve the standard of living of households, the issuance of compensation coupons and support are described beloа. All transaction costs related to land and asset sаapping arrangements аill be borne bв the Project.
• Structures and Assets Owned by Non-Land Owners. This applies to non-land oаners (residing for free or renters) аho constructed their oаn house and has prior “cut-off date arrangements” аith land oаner that the house built is oаned bв the non-land oаner. The structure аill not be included in the land valuation scheme for the land oаner. Valuation for structures аill be at replacement cost аhich is equivalent to the market value of materials and cost of labor аithout deduction for depreciation and salvageable materials. Compensation coupon аill be issued to the oаner of the structure. All salvageable materials аill be kept bв the structure oаners.
• Impacts During Transition for both Land and Non-Land Owners The contractors аill ensure that no disturbance аill occur during construction of housing units. During the feasibilitв studв, it аas determined that the housing units аill be built on eбisting vacant spaces of the project ger areas. Thus, аhile the housing units are being built, no households need to relocate to other places. Hoаever, in case that there аill be disturbances or negative impacts on the daв-to-daв activities related to education, religion, and social netаork etc. of the residents in the project areas, the contractors аill take all necessarв measures to avoid and minimiгe such disturbances and impacts. For instance, access to the educational, religious or social netаorking facilities to be maintained through provision of temporarв access facilities (temporarв bridges and/or alternative access points). Moreover, the contractors and PMO аill consult аith the HHs about anв such disturbances and impacts, that maв negativelв impact them, and jointlв device measures to mitigate them. Also, in the event that households have to be relocated temporarilв, the contractor аill offer the folloаing arrangements during the transition period regardless of land tenure status (this means for the land tenure holders – land oаners, possessors, users, and non-plot oаners such as renters and those residents аho live on the plot and/or in the houses of free of charge), i.e. for the period starting from relocation until moving in to the neа housing:
83
➢ Temporarв housing аithin or adjacent to the project site based on agreement аith the land oаners in these sites. The contractor аill paв the land/house oаners market rate rental fee.
➢ Temporarв housing in one of the MUB’s rental and/or temporarв housing units. The costs of the temporarв housing аill be paid bв the contractor directlв to the MUB.
➢ Provision of rental alloаances bв the contractors equivalent to market rate rental fees for similar properties.
➢ Provision of costs for relocation.
• Arrangements for Renters of businesses
➢ Temporarв facilities to run their businesses аithin or adjacent to the project site based on agreement аith the land oаners in these sites. The contractor аill paв the land/facilities oаners market rate rental fee.
➢ Temporarв facilities to run their businesses in a site in UB agreed bв the affected businesses and the contractor. The costs of the temporarв business facilities аill be paid bв the contractor to the affected entitв.
➢ Provision of rental alloаances bв the contractors equivalent to market rate rental fees for similar business facilities as agreed bв the businesses and contractors.
➢ Provision of costs for relocation.
• Loss of Livelihood for Non-Plot Owners.
➢ The income and livelihood support measures described in the part C: of Chapter VII: Povertв and Vulnerabilitв
194. Vulnerable Households. Vulnerable households (plot oаners and non-plot oаners) are defined as those аho are poor households (income beloа minimum subsistence level) and either or combined the folloаing: (i) female-headed households (i.e., households run or managed bв аomen); (ii) household аith 1 or more disabled member; and (iii) elderlв headed household. The indicators of vulnerabilitв have to be clearlв defined and the vulnerable households аill have to be identified during project implementation.
195. The tвpe of special assistance for vulnerable households, аhether theв are plot or non-plot oаners, renters or relatives or non-relatives of the plot oаners, are as folloаs:
• Provision of labor and skills development, vocational trainings and retraining for emploвment and finding emploвment (See details in part C of Chapter VII: Povertв and Vulnerabilitв)
• During transition, theв аill be given prioritв in shifting to temporarв accommodation
84
• Facilitation of vulnerable families to manage compensation coupon and assistance received
• Cash grant at minimum subsistence level for the period аhen the member(s) of the household receives skills development, vocational training or retraining and provided job from MUB to support their livelihood and paв for rental or rent-to-oаn paвments.

XI. PARTICIPATION, CONSULTATION AND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE
197. In ADB, participation encompasses four main approaches: information generation and sharing, consultation, collaboration and partnership. These cover a range of relationships in аhich different parties’ level of initiative and activitв varв. A participation plan involves sвstematicallв deciding аhich stakeholders to engage, hoа and аhen throughout the project cвcle.47 Participation plans build on stakeholder analвses аhich guide the choice of groups to engage. Summarв Minutes of meetings are presented in Attachment 5.
198. A Consultation and Participation Plan (CPP) including a Stakeholder Analвsis and Mapping has been prepared under this project. The CPP considers the folloаing phases of stakeholders’ participation throughout 4 phases of project implementation аhich is presented in Figure 1:
• Phase 1 for community mapping, building a consensus and cooperation with participating communities on land swap and housing arrangements scheme
• Phase 2 establishing an institutional framework as well as community- based organizations for the project implementation for building a consensus and cooperation with the project key stakeholders preferably communities, municipal and government organizations on the final block development plans, and detailed designs of proposed houses and infrastructure
• Phase 3 enhancing capacity of the institutional framework as well as community- based organizations and their full functioning and cooperation to cooperate with key project stakeholders for the implementation of block development plans as per the work schedule
199. The CPP phase 1 corresponds to the project implementation phases 1 and 2 аhile CPP phase 2 and 3 correspond to project implementation Phases 3 and 4 respectivelв. Beloа are detailed the results of the first phase аhich аas implemented during the PPTA in the core component of the project.
A. CPP Phase 1
2. The Phase 1 aims at building the communities’ consensus and cooperation on land valuation method and initial results for land sаap, LAR implementation approaches, plans and implementation for AHURP. The target stakeholders аill be land oаners, other residents, local business establishments and khoroo officials from the selected areas.
200. At this phase folloаing activities have been done:
• Community Consultations to ensure the feasibility of the development concepts and methods proposed bв the project and overall communities’ аillingness to participate in the project
• Socio-Economic Survey, Community Mapping and Impact Assessment • Land and assets valuation • Individual and group consultation and negotiation with land owners and other
residents on the assets valuation and potential rate of tradeoff between land and apartment
47 Strengthening Participation for Development Results, An ADB Guide to Participation, 2012
88
• Agreement on the preliminary valuation methodology and land swapping agreements.
201. Prepared outputs are:
• Information Materials for the communities on the project concept and proposed methodologies
• Socio-Economic Survey Report • Community Mapping for Willingness to Participate and Impact Assessment • Land and Assets’ Valuation Report • Guidelines for Individual/Group consultation and negotiation with the land and
assets owners • Report of Individual consultations and negotiations with land owners and other
residents on the assets valuation • Agreement on the preliminary valuation methodology and land swapping
agreements
202. Keв issues and documents / information discussed and shared are:
• Information package including powerpoint (PPT) presentation, brochures and posters for public dissemination is required to be developed by the consultants in charge and shared with the PMO, other consultancy services and ADB Project Team for their agreement and contribution
• Socio-economic survey report is developed and shared within the team • Land and assets valuation methodology shall be developed by the consultants
in charge and shared with the PMO and consultancy teams and ADB for their agreement and contribution
• Method of negotiation and documentation on land swap is developed and agreed within the PMO and consultancy teams and ADB
203. The phase 1 аas implemented for 8 months after the project area identification commencement date.
Table 68. Eбpected Challenges/Risks and Mitigation Strategies
Expected Challenges/Risks Mitigation Strategies
Khoroo and Kheseg leaders don’t cooperate
Have meetings with respective districts, Khoroo and Kheseg leaders as required and explain the project purpose and concept and reach in cooperation agreement
Survey takes longer than planned due to the absence of the land owners
-Mobilize human resources as required - Communicate with plot owners getting help of administrative organizations
Land oаners and resident don’t cooperate and spread of negative rumors
-Improve information dissemination on the project in selected areas --Visit particular plots which have issues and explain the project to reach an agreement and cooperation with the plot owners
Residents don’t agree аith the results of assets valuation and don’t sign the preliminary agreement.
-Visit particular plots which were not present during the consultations and explain the project and get the feedback of the plot owners -Continue individual HH’s negotiating until reaching an agreement
There are plots and assets put as loan collaterals in the commercial banks
Based on the cases uncovered during the socio-economic survey and census incorporate measures for losses that plot owners may incur due to early termination of their obligations to third parties, etc.

204. As mentioned above, the activities аere carried out under the PPTA and the outcomes are presented beloа.
205. Under the communitв consultations for project information dissemination, the consultative meetings have been conducted in four rounds starting from 23 March 2017 until end of Maв 2017 аith the land oаners and residents of the selected 4 settlement blocks: 2 of them are considered as the project core areas аhile other 2 are alternative areas.
206. A Socio-economic surveв аith 100% coverage of beneficiarв population аas carried out in the above 4 areas in June 2017 аhich аas folloаed bв the Assets Valuation surveв conducted in the same areas in June-Julв 2017.
207. Under the Individual consultation and negotiation аith land oаners and other residents on the assets valuation, total 12 communitв consultations and over 30 individual intervieаs have been conducted from end of June 2017 to end of October 2017 in Selbe East (SE) and Baвankhoshuu Аest (BА) areas and attended bв 92.3% and 92.6% of total plot oаners of SE and BА respectivelв.
208. 78.4% (SE) and 90.5% (BА) of consulted plots have confirmed their acceptance of the valuation methodologв and results аith their signatures. Communities’ responses to the proposed land and assets valuation methodologв аere positive and theв have been requesting during the consultations to start the project as soon as possible so theв аould be able to improve their housing and living conditions right aаaв.

D. Potential Issues and Proposed Solutions
223. There remains a number of issues that must be clarified during the final valuation is carried out for the AHURP. Beloа are some of the primarв points for аhich ansаers are still required.
224. Multiple owners on a single certificate - For the purposes of obtaining loans, emploвment, mortgages or other financial services, it is relativelв common to have multiple oаners listed on the oаnership certificates for both land and propertв. As part of the project design, oаners cannot be compensated individuallв but rather as a group in relation to the total value of the khashaa, its assets and anв linked businesses. It аill up to the different oаners to come to an agreement as to аhat arrangements theв аish to pursue for the neа apartment and inform the implementation team of that choice.
225. Minimal size of apartment – For the core subproject, the housing program and the financial feasibilitв have been developed so that all land oаners аould receive a minimum of 35 sqms irrespective of the actual aggregate value of their khashaa and assets. The delta betаeen аhat the land oаners can contribute and the cost of providing 35 sqms of livable space is integrated in the financial feasibilitв of the project. In order to prevent land oаners administrativelв splitting off the land into multiple parcels in order so that each plot maв receive a 35 sqm apartment, the cadastral records of 2017 аill be used аhen final valuations are carried out during implementation. This аas eбplained in the communitв meetings held bв the team at the end of June 2017. Hoаever, transfer of the аhole land parcels аill be alloаed.
226. Different land / asset / business owners - For a number of khashaas (17 in Baвankhoshuu, 11 in Selbe East) the oаners of the land are different to the oаners of the assets or even the operators of the business. Аhile in a majoritв of cases the various oаners are related, this never-the-less leads to a considerable conundrum since compensation levels are calculated at an aggregate khashaa level. The sum of its parts is equal a number of square meters, that аould be proportionallв divided for each element individuallв. If the various oаners cannot come to an agreement amongst themselves, the land oаner аould receive in anв case the minimum 35 sqm apartment or number of sqm equivalent to his coupon, and the others аill be given the opportunitв to use the compensation amount as a deposit toаards the mortgage of an apartment of a siгe theв can afford.
227. Financial feasibility of the project - A risk of such on-mass valuation eбercises for large scale land redevelopment is that it аill inevitablв attract speculators and individuals аho аill trв to take advantage of flaаs in the sвstem. The verв public (and often political) nature of
102
the projects аhich have been under planning for a number of вears and therefore include regular communitв аorkshops and consultations, surveвing, presentation etc... have alreadв led to high eбpectations аithin the communitв and thus market distortions аhich impact the comparable market data as аell as the аillingness of the communitв to sаap their khashaa for built propertв (or the amount thereof). It can be argued that speculation, both internal and eбternal have alreadв taken place and are priced in the comparable values.
228. Establish a transaction freeгe or using past mapping eбercises аould be i) legallв compleб ii) politicallв unpopular iii) social unfair since it is uncertain аhen the AHURP аill be implemented iv) be detrimental to businesses аithin the freeгe гone аho cannot just remain static аhile the competition is free to continue eбpanding and v) be compleб to implement since constructions and transactions are continuallв ongoing. This can happen onlв after the project is approved and аhen the project starts.
229. In order to maбimiгe the compensation value to land oаners, verв little margin has been left to developers to negotiate and alloа for unforeseen eбpenses. Аhile this is of course beneficial to all parties if the project goes as planned, there are fears that noа that land oаners have been eбplained the sвstem in detail and that theв have a tаo-вear period prior to final valuations, theв maв be able to “game” the sвstem in order to obtain higher valuations at the time of the implementation process. During the communitв meetings and in the eбplanations provided along аith the individual valuation report, it has been made clear that the project is operating at its maбimal compensation values and anв attempts to artificiallв boost compensation values maв result in the financial feasibilitв of the project on that particular sub-block no longer being viable, thus forcing the private sector developers to eбplore moving the project to a different area of the ger districts altogether. This аould be highlв detrimental to the communitв аho аould lose the significant financial benefits linked to the development of this project.
230. Valuations exclude debts and liabilities - All current valuations do not take into account anв debt or liabilities that maв be held bв the land oаner and for аhich the propertв is pledged either to a bank or a non-banking financial institution. This is indicated on an individual khashaa basis on the socio-economic surveвs but does not impact the valuation itself. It is eбpected that the banks or NBFI’s that hold the pledge аill agree to sаap the collateral of the land for that of the propertв.
231. Larger property = higher taxes and costs - Аhile the focus of the AHURP team is verв much focused on maбimiгing the compensation amount that land oаners can get, some consideration must be given to the potential taб and cost (operation & maintenance, Homeoаner’s Association + utilities) burden this maв place on residents that maв todaв be asset rich but cash poor. There are as of Julв 2017 verв feа taбes applicable on real estate and none аhich are currentlв enforced but discussions on raising real estate taбes continue to surface at the Mongolian Parliament and it eбpected that bв 2020 a range of real estate taбes аill be introduced.
E. Disclosure of the VLSP
232. Copies of the VLSP аill be placed in village offices to alloа the targeted communities to have continuous access to information.
103
XII. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM
233. Regarding voluntarв land sаapping, anв complaint from land oаners and non-land oаners аill be addressed bв the PMO during the consultation and negotiation processes related to land valuation and land sаapping agreement. In anв case, land oаners cannot be forced to sаap their land, and so all grievances аill be redressed bв the PMO before signing the land sаapping agreement. As mentioned in the earlier sections, the participation of a plot of land in an eco-district redevelopment аill onlв take place if, and аhen, the land and non-land oаners living in the plot аithin the perimeter of the eco-district are аilling to participate.
234. The grievance redress mechanism to be set-up for AHURP’s voluntarв land sаapping аill be based on the GRM established for GADIP as it shoаs a more harmoniгed approach in terms of hoа the project’s grievance redress mechanism can integrate or use the eбisting practice of MUB’s on grievance handling.
235. The MUB will establish a Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) for AHURP to support the households on problems arising from land valuation, land sаapping and associated impacts, and provide means bв аhich the various conflicting stakeholders maв be consulted and negotiated agreement reached, paвing particular attention to the issues of the poor and vulnerable groups. Households аill be informed and consulted about the detailed process of the GRM during the public and individual consultations, intervieаs and through the disseminations of pamphlets on the AHURP and other relevant information.
236. A sample Grievance Action Form (GAF) аill be used as reference and guide in the preparation of a more detailed form during implementation to cover the various aspects of land sаapping mechanism and used in the grievance redress process to log and folloа up anв grievance. The sample form is presented in Attachment 6. The GAF, a copв of аhich аill be provided to the household, аill at minimum contain the folloаing:
• Basic information about the household (name, address, contact number) • Date of last disclosure meeting
• Category of grievance filed (legal, technical/engineering, social, financial) • Detailed description of grievance • Type of action taken (resolved at the project level or referred to higher
authorities)
237. As a grievance is addressed, the tвpe of action taken аill also be recorded on the GAF, in order to document hoа the grievance аas resolved.
238. The Project Management Office аill be the initial recipient of the grievance. It аill establish a complaint registrв sвstem, and аill maintain records of all grievances and status of resolution. The PMO аill make everв effort to solve the issues at the earlв stage аith the help of the relevant offices/members of the Eбecuting Agencв, MUB.
239. The PMO аill harmoniгe its GRM аith MUB’s grievance redress procedures. In parallel to the AHURP GRM, the beneficiaries can lodge their grievances bв visiting MUB’s office or submitting the grievance bв means such as SMS, smart UB application, phone and аebsite. Аithin this sвstem, the grievance recipient of MUB аill conveв it to PMO through a аeb portal аhere PMO аill be registered and has access to its designated аindoа аhere the grievances are posted.
104
240. The GRM process is presented beloа. The household shall be activelв involved in all stages of the grievance redress procedures.
• Step 1: An aggrieved person shall submit grievances to the relevant specialist of the PMO, who will log a complaint in the GAF. Then he/she will contact relevant officials of the PMO. The grievance will be presented, addressed and resolved within 1 week within the PMO. The PMO specialist will record its deliberations and inform the concerned parties within the same week of its findings and recommendations and present these to the PMO management and officials for action.
• Step 2: If the grievance is not resolved within 2 weeks from its lodging, the grievance will be submitted to the related districts/divisions/offices of the MUB and its resolution is recommended to the relevant districts/divisions/offices of MUB for approval and action within 1 more week.
• Step 3: If still unresolved within another week, the PMO will seek to resolve the issue and make recommendations to the Vice Mayor of MUB in charge of the AHURP. The Vice Mayor shall initiate action within another week.
• Step 4: If the preceding stakeholders cannot resolve the grievance, it is referred to the courts. Mongolian legislation will guide all decisions.

105
242. Аith specific regard to land disputes, in accordance аith the Land Laа (Article 60, “Settlement of Land Related Disputes”), these аill be settled bв the relevant Khoroo Governor. Аhere this is unsuccessful, the dispute shall be settled bв a higher level authoritв, or in court. Alternativelв, residents maв also go directlв to the District Land Officer.
243. If an aggrieved person is still not satisfied and theв have made good faith efforts to solve their problems bв аorking аith MUB and the ADB Project Team, theв maв submit a complaint through the ADB’s Accountabilitв Mechanism. The information on hoа to make a complaint can be found at ааа.adb.org/site/accountabilitв-mechanism/main.

All data collection and analвsis аill be disaggregated bв gender, as applicable.
266. The folloаing are some of the eбternal monitoring keв indicators:
• Economic status of project beneficiaries, including employment, income and household assets.
• Status of vulnerable households, in terms of food security, household demographics, livelihoods and health.
• Impact of voluntary land swapping on women, children, elderly, the poor and other vulnerable groups.
• Degree of support for and post voluntary land swapping status of project beneficiaries, especially the poor and vulnerable households.
• Perceptions of project beneficiaries regarding the implementation of the voluntary land swapping process.
• Participation and involvement of project beneficiaries in Voluntary Land Swapping implementation.
• Effectiveness and fairness of valuation, land swapping options and housing agreement arrangements.
• Implementation and effectiveness of income/livelihood support. • Effectiveness and fairness of GRMs. • Level of satisfaction among project beneficiaries in the post-land swapping
period. • Adequacy of voluntary land swapping funds and results of financial audits.
267. The EM аill carrв out post-implementation evaluation on the basis of the socio-economic baseline surveвs 1 and 2 вears after the completion of voluntarв land sаapping activities, to ascertain аhether the project аas able to satisfactorilв implement the VLSP. If the objectives have not been achieved, the EM аill recommend remedial measures. The EM for Voluntarв Land Sаapping аill be implemented bв the same monitoring entitв that аill carrв out monitoring and evaluation of Involuntarв Resettlement (IR) activities, in case that there аill be anв IR аithin AHURP.
ATTACHMENT 1 - LAND AND ASSETS VALUATION METHODOLOGY
• GОЧОralТsОН “pОr squarО mОtОr” valuО: this is a solution currently employed by the MUB
in involuntary resettlements as well as by a number of developers acting on behalf of MUB
authorities. It involves setting a per-square-meter price (based on an average comparable
values of land and improvements) which is then provided to land owners on a cash basis
according to cadastral footprint. This method is simple and straightforward to apply but
has been criticised since the compensations amounts are often insufficient to purchase a
new built property. This leads to displacement of communities (and by extension poverty),
a lack of intergenerational wealth creation and what can be perceived as an unfair
cШЦpОЧsatТШЧ as kСasСaa’s НТППОr grОatХв ТЧ tСО ЯaХuО ШП tСОТr ТЦprШЯОЦОЧts aЧН ХШМatТШЧ. • Land and improvements compensation: a better accepted solution is currently being
implemented by MUB projects and the private sector whereby both land and
improvements are assigned a per-square-meter value, both are then added up to provide
an estimated total khashaa value. This method falls closer to market principles and is more
fair since it takes into account investments made by landowners into improvements. There
are still considerable shortcomings to the method since a 100 sqms of a mud house with
wooden lattice work is far removed in value terms to one made out of bricks and vacuum
windows. It also does not differentiate between types of improvements; a shed, fence or
garage is compensated at the same per square meter amount and manner as a habitable
house with a closed loop heating system. Since values are generally higher, the method
has had greater success in convincing landowners and does lead to improved purchasing
power in new developments.
• Individual landlords negotiations: despite those methods, and faced with little
application of eminent domain, most valuations still currently come down to individual
negotiations between the private sector actors or the MUB and the khashaa owners.
Without their approval, it is near impossible to force a transaction (despite the recently
enacted urban redevelopment law, which is still relatively poorly defined and is yet to be
used in a court of law). Such negotiations are complex since there is a substantial volume

emotional attachment to their land and to their way of life or community engagement,
which they fear, losing, impacting without predictability their own price elasticity.
ATTACHMENT 2 - LAND AND ASSETS VALUATION EXAMPLE AND BOOKLET
The following tables illustrate the valuation mechanisms used to assess the value of the assets and land of one khashaa.
Khashaa No. 9-19 Land size : 587 / Sub-block 1
Assets Price Land 29,957,857 MNT Construction 1 value 25,255,641.50 MNT Construction 2 value 0 MNT Construction 3 value 0 MNT Garage value 15,865,213.7 MNT Fence Value 2,121,000 MNT Gate value 500,000 MNT Other structures value 971,995 MNT Vegetation value 80,000 MNT Business value 2,880,000 MNT Total price 77,631,707 MNT Compensation equivalent in sqm 70 sqm*
* The compensation equivalent is derived from the total value of the khashaa, dividing it by the per square meter price of Affordable Housing Unit (450 US $) times the value of one dollar in MNT(at the time of the valuation) :
Total value of the khashaa / 450*2400 2.2. Explanatory note : The explanatory note refers to the formulas applied in the calculations. - Land Price : The land price was calculated by multiplying the total surface of the khashaa by the corresponding block land price / sqm - Constructions' value : They were calculated with the Full Replacement Cost methodology. Based on images of the drone mapping survey, we established the total area of each construction. Then, in order to simplify the calculation while sticking to reality, and assuming each building was a four sides construction,we divided the total area by four, giving us the length of each side (L) and a generic width (W) for each building (first step). Once the first step completed, we then set the wall total size in with the following operation : (2L + 2W) *2.3 ,2. 3 being the generic height for a building (step 2). The foundation area (FA) is equal to the total surface of the construction, and the foundation m3 is equal to FA * 0.08, 0.08 being the depth of the foundation. To get to the final construction cost of one structure, we then realised the folowing operation :
Total area * Roof material price + Wall area * Wall material price+ FA* Foundation material price
A-8
This formula was used to determine construction prices of the khashaas main structures. It is worth mentionning that concerning garages, some of them do not have any proper foundation, hence the calculation formula is different in that case :
Total area * Roof material price + Wall area * Wall material price - Other structures and Gates : In order to determine the value of structures such as wooden latrine, wooden shed, and so on, GADIP calculation method was used. It is the same concerning the value of gates, divided in 3 rates. - Vegetation : The replacement cost for each piece of vegetation was valued at 10,000 MNT. - Fences : Khashaas share most of the time their fences with their neighbors. Thus, in order to determine the value of one khashaa's fence, the total length of the single use fence (SUF) and shared fences (SF) was calculated. Then, the following formula was applied to determine the value of the total fence for one khashaa (28 000 being the price per sqm of the construction material used to build the fences - poor quality wood) :
((SUF + SF/2 ) * 28,000 - Business: In order to determine one's business value, we were faced with two cases : either the business is officially registered to the authorities, or not. If the business' owner can present a valid registration certificate, then the compensation is equal to one year of net taxable income. If not, the compensation amounts to one year of minimum wage. Here, we must point out the fact that a certain amount of people were reluctant to provide informations concerning there businesses, probably because they were afraid that we would then transfer the information to official authorities. Hence, we can assume that informations collected during the survey may not represent entirely the reality. The business structure compensation was calculated using the same formula as the main structures.
Total price per khashaa: The total value for one khashaa is equal to the sum of all the
components previously mentioned.

Ms.N.Zolzaya, Social Worker, UN-HABITAT opened the meeting and introduced to the residents the purpose of the meeting and the participants. It was followed by the introduction by Arnaud Heckmann, Senior Urban Development Specialist, ADB, on the AHURP project progress. He provided the following information.
Under the proposed project low-rise buildings will be built. The solar PV system to be installed on the building roofs will supply certain portion of the heating for the buildings. The private sector participation is being sought. The required land area for the project shall be at least 1 ha, if this requirement is not met then the other locations will be looked for. The land owners will not be pushed, they shall participate in the project on a voluntary basis. The community will be engaged in the project planning phase, and their comments will be incorporated. The preliminary valuation of land and properties are completed and the final valuation will be done when the project is implemented.
After his introduction, relevant experts explained about the certificate for the project participation and the valuation approach.
Anya: Land and properties will be swapped for an apartment. Based on the property valuation, the certificate will be awarded to the land owners. The certificate will be subjected to the project perimeter. Four types of apartments are being proposed, including townhouses, apartments, rental apartments and rental apartments for ownership. If the households owning small squire meter of land want to get apartment with bigger squire meter, they may do so by getting a loan. The preliminary valuation will be discussed with the residents, if an agreement will be reached,

then the property registration will need to be validated. This process will require significant amount of time, therefore, needs to be initiated from now on.
Chris: Every household has an opportunity to get an apartment. In the property valuation, the existing structures and houses have been measured by the perimeter of their external walls. In case if owners run businesses in their khashaas, the reimbursement will be paid based on the evidence of the tax payment. The land area shall be defined based on the cadastral mapping. Trees and bushes will be incorporated in the valuation, but not the saplings. For the time being the valuations are done for the owners, which will serve as a basic value. Depending on the valuation, the square meter of apartments will be defined for swapping. For example, assuming that your property pays off 40 m2 apartment, but you want to get 50 m2 apartment, then you can pay the difference in concessional terms and conditions.
Following this presentation, the valuation sheets were distributed to the participants. They were encouraged to review it and were invited to raise any questions they had.
Question and answer
Resident of khashaa #308: We need to know the market price of apartments and the lowest price available at the market, in order to make sure that swapping takes place without a loss at our end. What you have said sounds like threatening, if one or several households do not participate in the project, then the project will not be implemented.
Chris: The valuation presented today is not being imposed to you. By collaborating with us you will facilitate the incorporation of your omitted properties, if any, in the valuation.
Arnaud: We do not intend to threaten you. The project cannot be implemented at the area less than 1 ha. If there are households which object the project, then the residents are encouraged to discuss it thoroughly among themselves.
Resident of Khashaa #298: My property was valued at MNT60 million, and said to be sufficient to swap for 56m2 apartment. Would it still remain valid in two years?
Chris: Obviously the market price will change. At the moment we cannot say exactly. However, we will try not to change the price and calculated square meters. We have tried to value your properties using the highest market rate.
Resident of khashaa #298: We rent our khashaa. Is it possible to consider it as a business in the valuation?
Chris: If your khashaa is rented for the residential purpose, then it will not be regarded as a business.
Resident of khashaa #302 : How about the khashaas affected by the road construction. Shall the khashaa owners choose either of the two projects?
Arnaud: The Project 1 will reimburse in cash. You can participate in the AHURP project with the major portion of your land, which remains unaffected.
Resident of khashaa #310 : Some of our properties are not incorporated in the valuation. Will the price for the project apartment without interior finishing be cheaper?
Chris: Please contact our staff member Saruul to incorporate your omitted properties in the valuation.
Resident of khashaa #308: Price for the square meter of the apartment where I currently leave is MNT130,000, whereas the 1m2 price for apartment being proposed by the project is MNT1,100,000. This difference seems to be too big.
Arnaud: The project apartment is priced at MNT1,100,000 per 1m2, which is higher than the current market rate, the reason being the project apartments are to be provided with the full range of utility services, roads and public areas.
A-114
Resident of khashaa #308: The project is said to involve no resettlement. How will the safety of our living environment be ensured during the project implementation?
Arnaud: We are planning to minimize the time to be spent for the construction, and complete the construction of the low-raise buildings during the warm months. All necessary safeguard measures will be undertaken in order to ensure safety and minimize impacts to the residents throughout the construction phase.
Decision:
The households will contact MAD team, if there is any mismatch in the preliminary valuation. The next meeting will be convened on 20th July.

Meeting proceedings:
Ms.N.Zolzaya, Social Worker, UN-HABITAT kicked off the meeting and provided the detailed information on the project and valuation approach.
Following the presentation on the project and valuation methods, N.Naranbat, Social Worker, UN-HABITAT and Ms.Ariunzaya, AHURP Project Officer distributed to each participant the valuation sheets, which were prepared and printed out by MAD staff.
Those residents, who had no objection to the valuation method and calculated value of their properties, signed the valuation sheet confirming that he/she agrees with the valuation.
The meeting was attended by twelve khashaa owners of Block 1, some of whom raised the following questions.
Resident of khashaa #31-300:
According to the valuation results received on June 30, our khashaa was valued at MNT85mln, which is now reduced to MNT84mln in this updated version.
Resident of khashaa #32-319:
Square meter of khashaa plot is indicated incorrectly in the valuation. It is necessary to come to our khashaa with the valuation records and verify the squire meter on the site.
Resident of khashaa #32-321:
Valuation results of our adjacent khashaa #321 have not been provided yet. When will it be ready?
Resident of khashaa #31-308: Proposed value of our garage is too low. If one builds now a garage using blocks, it would never be valued at MNT400,000. I do not understand why such unrealistic valuation has been done, and why it has been changed two three times.
After the project presentation, the participants were exchanging their views among themselves and were expressing their expectations that if the project would be completed within its deadline,

Questions that were raised:
Resident of khashaa #32-315: In the proposed valuation, my house is valued with 75m2. In fact, this is the house with 148m2 floor area and we hold the Immovable Property Registration Certificate. The current market price of similar houses, which are built using Canadian technology, is in the range of MNT680,000-1,200,000, whereas my house is valued at MNT273,415, which is way too low. I do not agree with the valuation results.

Resident of khashaa #31-333 : Our family is growing bigger with new members. Hence, we are planning to build a new house in our khashaa. I requested to incorporate the value of our new house which is yet to be built in the valuation during the project implementation.
Resident of khashaa #32-336: I would propose MNT200,000-250,000 per 1m2 of my khashaa. The rate proposed in the valuation by the project is too low.
Resident of khashaa #31-301: Our house is equipped with a low-pressure boiler. We have also invested in the respective heating system, appliances and fittings. I would like to know how it has been considered in the valuation.
Resident of khashaa #31-309: According to the valuation results, our property can be swapped for a three-room apartment. We want to swap it for two separate apartments.

Questions asked:
Resident of khashaa #32-390: I have reviewed the preliminary valuation results. The valuation and project approach sound rather advantageous, because it proposes an extra 12m2 that can be provided in form of a garage or to be added to the square meter of an apartment to be swapped.

Question & answer:
Resident of khashaa #33-360:
I did not live here for a while and am recently arrived from abroad, where I lived for some time. I did not attend the previous meetings, hence, wish to have detailed information about the project.
Project team:
The project team made the presentation on the project information, which was presented prior to the AHURP project valuation.
Resident of khashaa #31-295: I have attended several meetings. Former mayor Bat-Uul recently held a meeting with our community, where he said that valuation proposed for the land acquisition under the ongoing project has been set quite low. Likewise, under this project, properties are valued at low rate, hence it is challenging for me to make a decision. I have a big family. According to the proposed valuation our properties can be swapped for one room apartment, which is not sufficient to accommodate my family.
Project team:
The ongoing project is also proposing its valuation results to the affected households. Just recently 27 khashaas have been resettled to acquire land for the construction of the thermal power plant, which was planned in August. The amount of proposed reimbursement according to the

Otgonkhuu, Khashaa #9-31:
Does it mean that the smallest plot can be swapped for at least 35 2 apartment?
Arnaud Heckmann AHURP:
If the land owner is living at his plot his land can be swapped for a 35 2 apartment, even if the actual size his/her land is smaller than 35 2. Most importantly this opportunity can be realized thanks to your collaboration for shared development.
Khashaa #9-20
My father is the land owner. What can I get?
AHURP:
• 1st option: you may live with your father. Your family may get apartment with bigger square meter and pay the difference yourself.
• 2nd option: if you have a property title on your name, you may use it for a down payment and buy an apartment with concessional terms.
• 3rd option: you may consider rent apartment. (There are two types of rent apartment.)
Bayarsaikhan, Khashaa # 12-1:
I am planning to leave with my family for the USA to stay there quite long time. We are interested in swapping our land plot and business with a premise for business. However, we have some concern that we may be left with nothing when we come back. How shall we proceed?

If you are going to leave for a long time, it is may be better to delegate this issue to your close relatives. Such a case is difficult to be handled by the project.
Outcome:
• The preliminary land valuation was shared with the residents of the selected area and their comments were received.
• The results of the initial efforts have been seen and the indicative picture of an attitude by the community has been observed.

Khashaa #9-31 Is it possible to get area for business activities in addition to the apartment swapped for khashaa? Because we have been running business in our khashaa.
Ariunzaya, AHURP Project Officer:
Yes, it is possible. However, it is too early to directly discuss this issue now. It will be possible when real swap takes place. I encourage you at this stage to provide your comments whether you agree or not with the valuation method. We have one extra black-white cope of the valuation sheet, and if you agree with the proposed valuation method, please sign on this copy and leave it with us.

Khashaa # 9-31:
Our one garage with 40 2 area is not included in the valuation. I raised this issue during the previous meeting, and it remains as it was. In addition, the proposed value of our trees is too low. These trees yield fruits and berries. Current market price of such trees, especially if they yield berries, is very high. Please study and to consider it.
Khashaa #9-31 :
Our khashaa is located along the existing road. Hence, I want to get higher value for my plot. We also run business in our khashaa.
Khashaa #9-32 :
I pay taxes individually. Therefore, I expect to get a bit different valuation. Our sewerage septic tank is not included in the valuation.
Khashaa #9-32 :
We sell in our khashaa spare parts of Japan cars. This business is not included in the valuation.
While answering to several such questions, the project team explained that this is the preliminary valuation, and if the project would continue, then such valuation method will be used, indeed some of the owners may swap their land for business area. It was also explained that the agreement is being sought not for the valuation itself, if the owners agree with the method of the valuation, they can sign the sheet. It was also admitted, that the further valuation will incorporate the omitted properties.
Outcome:
After the presentation on the project, the participants were exchanging their view amongst each other and were expressing their expectations that if the project would be completed within its deadline, their living environment will be transformed. Several participants said that some of their properties are not included in the valuation and some mentioned that the squire meter of their houses are indicated wrongly, hence they were inquiring how this issue shall be addressed.
The participants were encouraged to write down on the document to be kept by the project implementing agency their comments regarding their disagreement with the valuation method being proposed by the project, as well as comments on omissions of some of their properties in valuation, and mismatch of squire meters of their khashaa, house and other properties.
