According to the principle of people's voluntariness, the relocation is carried out in two phases in four villages and counties with relatively good conditions, such as banatang, qicuo and Xingtang. 49 households were relocated, with a total investment of 3.1455 million yuan, including 2.303 million yuan from the state and 842500 yuan from Tibet. The 274 people from 49 households came from 8 different villages, and the concentrated relocation site was named Zibo new village by the masses. The first phase of the project was completed in October 2005. The house structure is a Tibetan stone wood structure, which is arranged and constructed according to the Tibetan tradition. The per capita housing area is 26 square meters. We have reclaimed 400 mu of land, built 25 straw sheds and 25 cattle and sheep sheds, solved the infrastructure construction of drinking water, power supply and farmland irrigation for human and livestock, realized the three-way connection of water and electricity, and implemented basic living subsidies for all relocated households for three years. Landless resettlement should be carried out for the relocated households in the county seat, which should be included in the scope of urban minimum living allowance, so that they can do business in better places near the street. The cadres also provided each household with a color TV and a set of solar panels, solar cookers and solar water heaters. The second phase of the project will start in early 2007.
