This resettlement plan identifies the components of the Cebu BRT Demonstration Project that will entail land acquisition. Land - public and private - will be required by four components of the project: the terminal in Bulacao; 12 median stations; the depot; and the bus stops. Mitigation measures include: Involuntary resettlement should be avoided where feasible; where involuntary resettlement is unavoidable, minimize through the adoption of feasible design alternatives; and offset or compensate DPs for any loss of land, structures, and sources of livelihood following the principle of replacement cost.  Réduire
