房子拆迁补偿标准
拆迁补偿是指在政府的拆迁政策实施过程中,对受到影响的房屋所有人给予的,用来补偿他们受到的不利影响而支付的补偿费。
根据我国《拆迁管理条例》的规定,拆迁补偿过程中主要涉及以下五个方面:1、受拆房屋的价值补偿;2、实施拆迁补偿政策;3、帮助被拆房屋所有人重新安置;4、为被拆房屋所有人支付拆迁补偿费;5、支付特殊帮扶性补贴。
1、受拆房屋的价值补偿
受拆房屋的价值补偿,是指由当地拆迁管理部门在安置工作中,依据产权登记情况、被拆房屋的使用年限、建成年份、地段价值、土地使用证状况等,根据相关法规计算出受拆房屋的实际价值,并准确地给予被拆房屋所有人。
2、实施拆迁补偿政策
实施拆迁补偿政策是指根据国家有关拆迁补偿政策,当地拆迁管理部门将征收区域内受影响的房屋所有权人,按照一定的拆迁补偿标准给予拆迁补偿费用。
根据我国《拆迁管理条例》的规定,每平方米拆迁补偿费应予以一定的费用,具体补偿金额由当地拆迁管理部门按照当地实际公布而定。
3、帮助被拆房屋所有人重新安置
帮助被拆房屋所有人重新安置,是指当地拆迁管理部门依据安置相关规定,根据被拆房屋所有人实际情况,积极寻求并推荐与其可实际安置的新房源,给予他们新安置房屋的釿额与安置期限的帮助支持,以实现双赢的拆迁结果。
5、支付特殊帮扶性补贴
支付特殊帮扶性补贴是指当地拆迁管理部门依据《拆迁管理条例》,根据被拆房屋所有人的实际情况,向处于特殊困境的拆迁户提供一定数额的帮扶补贴以减轻受迁害困难的拆迁户的经济负担。
一、国家拆迁补偿标准是怎样的1、房屋价值补偿标准这里的房屋补偿,是指对被征收的国有土地上建筑物价值进行的补偿,按不低于房屋征收决定公告之日被征收房屋类似的市场价格,并请有评估资质的评估机构进行评估确定。
这里的市场价格,地级市政府部门都会依据每年住宅房屋市场价格规律,制定出相应房屋市场价格表供当地被拆迁的居民进行参考。
如:石家庄市人民政府针对三年大变样政策,每年都出具了《石家庄拆迁区域住宅房屋市场价格表》。
不清楚自己区域被拆迁房屋的价格的,可以找当地政府建设部门进行咨询或索取材料。
对评估确定房屋价值有异议的,可以向复核评估,对复核结果有异议的,可以向评估专家委员会申请再次鉴定。
2、搬迁费和临时安置费(俗称过渡费)搬迁费和临时安置费用,具体数额各市一般都已确定具体数额及计算方式,详见各地出具标准,在这里作者所列算的补偿标准,是以大众化被拆迁人自主搬迁和过渡方式进行的计算。
如果拆迁人提供周转房,则无需支付临时安置费。
以石家庄为例(自主搬迁):2012年搬迁费20元/平方米,按2次计算;临时安置费(过渡费)按25元/平方米计算,逾期12月以内,每月增加50%,预期12个月不满24个月的,自第13个月起每月增加75%,逾期24个月以上的,自第25个月起每月增加100%.3、停产停业损失的补偿该费用针对非住宅类房屋运营性房屋进行补偿,因为属个案,补偿标准不能统一,一般是有征收当事人进行协商确定,协商不成的,可委托房地产价格评估机构评估确定。
4、补助和奖励补助包括困难补助和公摊补助。
困难补助是针对贫困人员进行的补助,依据当地政府出具的标准确定;公摊补助针对所有被拆迁人的房屋公摊进行的额外补助,也会出具公摊补助标准。
如石家庄出具了《石家庄市市区被征收房屋公摊基准补助系数》。
奖励是指各拆迁人鼓励被拆迁人及时拆迁而给付的额外补偿。
具体标准,因地各一,但该费用不是强制性,是否给付仍看当地政策。
5、房屋装修补偿及家电设备移机补偿房屋装修补偿也是先有当事人协商,协商不成由评估机构评估确定,家电设备移机也是参照上述方式实施。
合同法中的事后价值评估与补偿合同法是调整和约束当事人之间合法权益关系的法律规范。
一般来说,当事人在签订合同时通常会根据当前市场价格和需求情况来确定合同条款,并在一定时间内履行合同义务。
然而,在某些情况下,由于市场环境的变化,原先约定的合同条款可能无法满足当事人的实际需求。
在这种情况下,事后价值评估与补偿就成为解决争议的重要手段。
事后价值评估是指对合同履行期间发生的变化进行评估,以确定合同价值的增减。
这种评估可以根据市场价格的变动、需求的增减或合同期限的延长等各种因素进行。
例如,一方在合同签订之后,原材料价格暴涨,导致合同履行成本过高,影响到其正常经营。
此时,根据事后价值评估的原则,可以重新对合同价值进行评估,以保障当事人的合法权益。
在事后价值评估的基础上,合同法也赋予了当事人申请补偿的权利。
合同法规定,在合同有效期间,如果受到不可抗力、市场变动或企业经营环境等因素的影响导致无法履行合同义务,受损的一方可以向对方提出索赔要求。
补偿的方式可以是合同修订、追加支付或解除合同等。
例如,一家建筑公司在合同履行过程中发现建材价格猛涨,超出了原定预算,使得工程无法继续,此时可以通过补偿的方式解决争议。
然而,事后价值评估与补偿也存在一些问题。
首先,如何准确评估合同价值的增减是一个难题。
由于市场环境的复杂性,存在各种因素的交织,确定合同价值变化的具体数额并非易事。
同时,对于补偿的具体方式和金额也抱有不同的观点和理解。
因此,在实际操作中,完善的评估标准和补偿机制至关重要。
其次,事后价值评估与补偿在一定程度上可能导致合同失效。
当受损一方提出补偿要求时,另一方可能会无法承担或拒绝接受新的合同条款,从而导致合同无法继续履行。
同时,如果补偿的金额过高或要求过多,可能会对原合同的公平性和合理性产生质疑。
因此,在事后价值评估和补偿中,需要权衡各方利益,保护原合同的合法性和稳定性。
综上所述,合同法中的事后价值评估与补偿是在合同履行过程中处理变化和争议的重要机制。

价值补偿和物质补偿名词解释今天咱们来唠唠价值补偿和物质补偿这俩有点“高大上”,但其实还挺有趣的概念。
先来说说价值补偿吧。
这就好比你有个超级珍贵的魔法棒,你每天用它来给小伙伴们制造欢乐,变各种有趣的小魔术。
可是呢,魔法棒的魔力是会消耗的呀,这时候的价值补偿呢,就像是你找到一个魔法充电站,能让你的魔法棒重新充满那种制造欢乐的价值。
比如说你是个画家,你画了一幅超美的画,那这幅画花费了你好多的创意和精力,就像你把自己灵魂的颜料都涂上去了。
价值补偿就是当这幅画被卖掉或者被欣赏的时候,你得到的那种肯定和回报,就像是你的灵魂颜料又被补充满了,你又可以去创作新的“魔法”画作啦。
再看看物质补偿。
这可就更形象啦。
想象你是个小松鼠,每天辛辛苦苦地收集坚果,为了过冬做准备。
你跑来跑去,忙得像个小陀螺,小爪子都累得不行。
这时候如果突然有一棵神奇的坚果树出现在你面前,上面挂满了又大又饱满的坚果,这就是物质补偿啊。
就像你在公司里忙得像热锅上的蚂蚁,天天加班,最后拿到一笔丰厚的奖金,那奖金就像那神奇的坚果树,让你觉得自己的辛苦都有了实实在在的回报。
价值补偿和物质补偿有时候还会互相纠缠呢。
比如说你是个发明家,你发明了一个超级酷的小玩意儿,你投入了大量的时间和智慧,这是价值的付出。
当你的发明大卖的时候,你拿到了很多钱,这是物质补偿,同时你也收获了大家对你这个发明家的尊重和钦佩,这又是价值补偿。
就像你种了一颗西瓜种子,结果结出了一个巨大的西瓜,你既可以吃西瓜解渴(物质补偿),又可以因为种出这么大西瓜而被邻居们夸成种瓜小能手(价值补偿)。
而且啊,这两种补偿在生活里就像一对欢喜冤家。
有时候价值补偿先跑出来给你一个惊喜,有时候物质补偿先到你怀里。
但不管哪个先来,就像两个好朋友一样,都在帮你在这个世界里更好地生活下去,一个充实你的内心世界,一个填满你的物质小仓库。
这就是价值补偿和物质补偿啦,是不是感觉它们还挺有趣的呢?就像生活里的两个小精灵,在我们努力奋斗的道路上时不时地冒出来,给我们加油打气,或者给我们实实在在的好处呢。
生态产品价值如何实现合理补偿在当今社会,生态环境的重要性日益凸显,生态产品的价值也逐渐受到人们的重视。
然而,如何实现生态产品价值的合理补偿,却是一个亟待解决的问题。
生态产品,简单来说,就是指那些来自于生态系统,能够为人类带来福祉的各种物质和服务。
比如清新的空气、干净的水源、美丽的风景等等。
这些生态产品对于人类的生存和发展具有不可替代的重要性,但长期以来,它们的价值往往被忽视或低估。
实现生态产品价值的合理补偿,首先需要我们对生态产品的价值有一个清晰而准确的认识。
生态产品的价值不仅仅体现在其直接的经济价值上,还包括其生态价值、社会价值等多个方面。
以一片森林为例,它不仅可以提供木材等经济产品,还能够调节气候、保持水土、净化空气、提供生态旅游的场所等。
这些价值都应该被充分考虑在补偿的范围之内。
要实现合理补偿,科学的价值评估体系是关键。
目前,对于生态产品价值的评估方法还不够完善,存在着诸多的困难和挑战。
比如,很多生态产品的价值难以用货币来直接衡量,而且生态系统的复杂性和不确定性也增加了评估的难度。
因此,我们需要加强相关的研究和探索,建立一套科学、全面、可行的价值评估体系。
这可能需要综合运用多种评估方法,如市场价值法、替代成本法、意愿调查法等,同时充分考虑生态产品的多样性和特殊性。
明确补偿的主体和对象也是至关重要的。
补偿的主体应该包括那些从生态产品的使用和消费中受益的个人、企业和政府部门。
比如,一些污染企业对环境造成了破坏,它们就应该为生态修复和保护提供补偿。
而补偿的对象则应该是那些为生态保护和建设做出贡献的地区、组织和个人。
例如,那些位于生态保护区的居民,为了保护生态环境放弃了一些发展机会,他们就应该得到相应的补偿。
在补偿的方式上,可以是多样化的。
资金补偿是最常见的一种方式,但除此之外,还可以提供技术支持、政策优惠、教育培训等方面的补偿。
比如,对于一些生态脆弱地区,可以通过提供先进的环保技术和设备,帮助他们提高生态保护的能力。
Water eco-service assessment and compensation in a coal mining region –A case study in the Mentougou District in BeijingYinglan Bai,Rusong Wang *,Jiasheng JinState Key Lab of Urban and Regional Ecology,Research Centre for Eco-Environmental Sciences,Chinese Academy of Sciences,Shuangqing Road 18,Haidian District,Beijing 100085,China1.IntroductionCoal mining disturbs the complex ecosystems (air,land cover,forest,hydrology),within a coal mining region.Ecological systems with hierarchical organization and non-equilibrium dynamics require multiple-scale analyses to comprehend how a system is structured and to formulate hypotheses about regulatory mechan-isms (Zurlini et al.,2006).Economic and social conditions (employment,income,infrastructure,depression owing to the slowing down or even termination of mining activities in the region)also change drastically.In particular,coal mining causes serious damage to water resources by changing the original conditions of the aquifer migration cycle and surface runoff in mining regions.It also causes lowering of ground water levels and flow-disruptions in rivers and springs,leading to shortages of drinking water for people and livestock in mining regions (Niu and Zhang,2006).At the same time,mine drainage may pollute the surface water and groundwater and further endanger the surrounding waters,soil,and even the entire water system,which will impact the safety of domestic,industrial,and agricultural water supplies (Wang,2003).On the other hand,coal mining can bring economic benefits by stimulating the local economy andincreasing local revenues (Pan,2008).Coal mining can also bring social benefits such as more employment opportunities and corresponding infrastructure.The conflict between costs and benefits in natural,economic,and social eco-systems brought about by coal mining has intensified such that ecological compensation aimed at lowering the cost of resources to achieve faster growth and higher efficiency in economic development has become inevitable (Zhang,1995;Zhuang and Gao,1995).Compensation mechanisms and policy ideas have been proposed in studies on coal mining and the ecosystem in China (Hong and Ma,2001;Mao and Zhong,2002;Yu and Ren,2007).Zhang (2008)proposed to set up an ecological environment rehabilitation and compensation mechanism for the mining areas on the basis of an analysis of the worsening damage to the ecological environment in affected areas.Ecological compensation in a coal mining region can be classified as either broad or narrow (Bai and Cui,2008).Broad ecological compensation for farmers is carried out mainly through land requisition,relocation,and ecological reconstruction,as well as by supporting resource-based cities to achieve sustainable development.Narrow ecological compensation only includes land reclamation and ecological reconstruction.The responsibilities of relevant parties involved in the rehabilitation of the ecological environment in coal mining areas needs to be analyzed (Zhang,2008),and a market mechanism must be used to make the eco-compensation models and paths more reasonable (Bai and Cui,2008).Foreign studies on miningEcological Complexity 8(2011)144–152A R T I C L E I N F O Article history:Received 19September 2010Received in revised form 14December 2010Accepted 8January 2011Available online 2February 2011Keywords:Water eco-service Cost–benefit analysis Coal miningMulti-compensation MentougouA B S T R A C TIn conjunction with ecological service,in this study a definition for water eco-service is proposed,as well as a novel model designed for water eco-service assessment and compensation in a coal mining region based on the complex ecosystem theory.As a case study,the model was applied to assess the impact of coal mining on local water eco-service,economy,and society in the Mentougou District through cost–benefit analysis.A multi-compensation system that includes financial compensation,water resource supplementation and industry support,as well as capacity-building was also designed.The results show that water eco-service in the coal mining region of Mentougou has been damaged in four aspects (resource,environment,habitat,and disaster)with the damage valued at $5.54million.It was also found that coal enterprises and both the Mentougou and Beijing governments are responsible for the multi-compensation to the damaged mining region at specific proportions and in various ways.The multi-compensation measures and schemes in both temporal and spatial scales are outlined in this paper and this study provides new theories on and methods for water ecological compensation in coal mining areas where reconstruction is needed.This paper will provide decision-making basis for policymakers.ß2011Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.*Corresponding author.Tel.:+861062843807;fax:+861062943807.E-mail address:wangrs@ (R.Wang).Contents lists available at

reserved.doi:10.1016/j.ecocom.2011.01.003areas mostly focus on the restoration.For example,Miao and Marrs (2000)outlined the principles and approaches to ecological restoration,which included legislation systems,ecological risk evaluation,ecological assessment,financial investment and benefit distribution,clean production techniques,resource regen-eration,and restoration and rebuilding of ecosystems on mine wasteland.They also proposed that for successful restoration,the fundamental framework(i.e.,new land construction)should involve ecological planning,contour terrace building,the control of soil erosion,and so on.Bell(2001)described some of the innovative practices used to establish native ecosystems in coal operations across diverse biogeographic zones.Additionally,he briefly referred to an ecosystem function analysis,includinganalysis of landscape function,vegetation dynamics,and habitat complexity,which had been developed to assess the success of establishment of these ecosystems.Bellmann’s study(2000) presented an analysis and modeling of the components in the Lusatian coal mining region.The components included the socio-economic sector,forestry and agriculture,landscape,as well as soil and hydrology.Summing up the existing studies on compensation and restoration in coal mining areas,several problems should be mentioned,including:(1)lack of identification on the impact of coal mining on complex ecosystems(nature–economy–society);(2)eco-compensation based on ecosystem service function is needed(Xu and Yang,2006);(3)lack of quantitative assessment on the costs and benefits of coal mining based on the theory of complex ecosystems;(4)a number of groups often compose the main stakeholders in compensation,but there has been inadequate analysis of the allocation of compensation among the groups(Ge and Wu,2008);(5)the ways and means of implementation of compensation are only limited tofinancial compensation(Nicho-las,2008).Thus,it is worthwhile to study some of the above problems for further construction and development in coal mining regions.This paper aims to present a novel model designed to analyze the costs and benefits of the coal mining process,that is,to evaluate the economic and social benefits of coal mining,as well as the cost of local water eco-service,by estimating the water eco-service damage caused by mining.It also proposes measures and schemes for an efficient,workable,and sustainable multi-compensation,based on complex ecological theory and results of the cost–benefit analysis.As a case study,the model is applied to analyze costs and benefits(1996–2003)of coal mining in the Mentougou District in the west of Beijing,and to design a water ecological compensation system to achieve satisfactory and sustainable water eco-service,improve the lives of local residents, and make local social and economic conditions take a fundamental turn for the better.2.Methods2.1.Water eco-service‘Ecological Services’(eco-services)are different from‘Ecosys-tem Services’.Ecosystem services are the benefits people obtain from ecosystems(MA,2003),while eco-services refer to a mutual interaction between people and nature to provide each other with promoting or restricting conditions and processes through which sustainable relationship can be maintained.Eco-services include: (1)the services of the natural ecosystem to people(products provisioning,infrastructure supporting,habitat cultivating,bio-geo-chemical circulating and functional regulating),(2)services of the human ecosystem to nature(production,construction, restoration,transportation and cultural regulation),(3)service of ecological process,(4)service of ecological factors,and(5)service of individual species(Wang and Hu,2004).Therefore, water as an ecological factor provides products,supports infrastructure,cultivates habitat and bio-geo-chemical circulation, as well as regulating functions,and thus provides resources to people,self-purification,habitat,water landscape,and also water security or disaster,all of which we classified under water eco-service.Based on these theories(Wang and Hu,2004;de Groot et al., 2010;Burkhard et al.,2010),we identified the indicators of water eco-service assessment in the coal mining region(see Table1).2.2.Design of water eco-service assessment and compensation modelAs seen in Fig.1,the proposed model is divided into two parts: cost–benefit analysis and compensation,based on the identifica-tion of the impact of coal mining on water eco-service.The cost–benefit analysis includes benefits estimation of coal mining and water eco-service damage assessment and estimation.Based on the results of the cost–benefit analysis,compensation is designed in integrated ways and includesfinancial compensation,supple-menting water resource,capacity-building assistance,and indus-try support.Such multi-compensation covering nature,economic, and social components is more meaningful and effective.2.3.Cost–benefit analysisFig.2outlines the procedure for the cost–benefit analysis. Within the benefit analysis,we focus on the profit accounting, distribution ratio of coal supply,and social benefit estimation, through which the stakeholders who benefit from the operation are determined.The indicators used for evaluating social benefit are the increase in employment,income growth,and new infrastructure,as shown in Fig.2.In the cost analysis,water eco-service is assessed by using indicators of water resource, environment,habitat,and disaster(see Table1);meanwhile,its damage value is estimated by calculating the loss of water supply, pollution,biodiversity loss,and water disaster caused by coal mining,as shown in Fig.3and Eqs.(1)–(7).The results of the cost–benefit analysis may provide data and basis for compensation.E a¼E sþE pþE bþE d(1) E¼nÁE a(2) E y¼E aO a(3)E

multi-compensation schemes with respect to financial compensa-tion,water resource supplementation,industry support,and capacity-building assistance as shown in Fig.1.2.4.1.Financial compensationWe first show what such a compensation scheme should be like when sufficient financial resources are available to completely implement the payment plans.We then introduce a budget constraint and discuss how this affects the design of the scheme.Taking budget restriction into account requires us to consider other efficient measures.2.4.2.Water resource supplementationWe conducted a questionnaire survey among residents in the coal mining region to research and compare the water shortageFig.1.Water eco-service assessment and compensation model.Fig.2.Cost–benefit analysis model.Y.Bai et al./Ecological Complexity 8(2011)144–152146situations in different parts of the coal mining region.After combining different measures of water supply,the plans calculated for local conditions were chosen.2.4.3.Industry support and capacity-building assistanceFunds and resources provision alone are not enough because the damage caused by coal mining is complex for the natural,economic,and social components.Consequently,the damaged region also needs industry support and capacity-building assis-tance from government authorities,which will be useful to enhance the capacity of subsequent local self-repair.We proposed a number of projects such as technical support,management system,human resources,and policy support to promote the development of the coal mining region.3.A case study in Mentougou District in Beijing,China3.1.Case-study areaMentougou District,with a population of 235,000and total area of 1455km 2,is in the west of Beijing.The Mentougou coal field,in the north of Jingxi Coal Field,with a total area of 500km 2,is one of the five biggest places for anthracite production.It is estimated that the total area of the abandoned mines is 86.86km 2,and the underground exhausted mining area is 45.1km 2,which covers eight towns and 15,408people.In addition,the total area of coal gangue accumulation is 1.84km 2.There are three river systems crossing Mentougou District:Yongdinghe,Daqinghe,and Beiyunhe River systems.For many years the average precipitation in Mentougou District has been 581.1mm.For 45years (1956–2000)the average total water resource in the region was 90.919million m 3,the total usable groundwater was 24million m 3(with the precipitation-runoff of 197million m 3,and the average inflow of Yongdinghe River was 801million m 3).In 2000,the water resources decreased by72.6%compared to the past 45years.In 2004,the inflow amount of Yongdinghe River decreased to 170million m 3.There are six well-managed large and medium-sized state-owned coal mines and about 270township coal mines,most of which have been discontinued or shut down from 2002to 2005.Without production,many coal miners lost their jobs,and their family incomes were significantly reduced.Because the local economy mainly depends on coal mining,the large number of coal mine closures has caused a local economic recession and revenue reduction.The economic depression has also made local residents lose confidence in the government,which could lead to serious social problems.3.2.Cost–benefit analysis in the Mentougou coal mining region3.2.1.Economic benefit analysisFig.4shows the yield and supply of coal,and Fig.5shows the output value and profit of coal mining.The average of economic benefits of coal mining from 1996to 2003is shown in Table 2.3.2.2.Social benefit analysisThe income conditions of the coal mining region in Mentougou District from 1996to 2003are shown in Fig.6,and the public infrastructure conditions are shown in Table 3.From 1996to 2003,coal jobs in Mentougou increased by 5000,according to the average wage of $486.05/a (by monthly exchange rate average for RMB vs.American Dollar in 2003),which increased the amount of employment benefits to about $2.43million.The annual per capita income increased by $392.87from 1996to 2003for 15,408people,thus the income value increased to $6.05million.Meanwhile,the increase in public infrastructure was equal to $10.01million.Hence,the total value of social benefits was $18.50million,as shown in Table 4.3.2.3.Water eco-service assessment and its damage estimationThe investigation into the Mentougou coal mining region shows that water resources decreased to 24.896million m 3,which decreased by 72.6%compared to the average of the past several years.The surface water contains significant amount of suspended matter that causes low transparency and deterioration of water appearance.Water in most regions has high nitrogen content.Nitrogen in the form of nitrate nitrogen is more stable.In some regions nitrogen is in the form of ammonian.The high ammonian content may lead to water quality deterioration and the death of animals and plants in water.The investigation also shows high TP (total phosphorus)and TN (total nitrogen)content,thus water has a tendency toward eutrophication.Furthermore,the very high oil content indicates that there is oil pollution inwater.Fig.4.Yield and supply ofcoal.Fig.3.Water eco-service damage estimationmodel.Fig.5.Output value and profit of coal mining.Y.Bai et al./Ecological Complexity 8(2011)144–152147During the mining process,lack of water resources and change in hydrological environment can affect the growth of green vegetation.Green vegetation is a primary and the most sensitive factor in ecology environment.The significant changes in green vegetation will affect the other environmental factors directly or indirectly.A research conducted by the Land Reclamation and Ecological Reconstruction Institute (LRERI,2006)analyzed the remote sensing data of the coal-mining region and found that mining led to significant decrease of vegetation fraction from 1988to 1996.From 1996to 2004the trend of vegetation fraction improved because of the closure of some coal mines and the government’s afforestation efforts.In the mining region,however,vegetation fraction was obviously lower than in other places.Through field investigation,it was found that 73kinds of plants have disappeared.Among the 150plant families in the historical record,15have disappeared.The most alarming problem is the extinction of terrestrial plants and wetland plants.Moreover,the complexity of the system and consequently ecosystem services might also be affected due to changes of other processes (Dolinar et al.,2010).The illegal mining workshops also cause heavy damage to vegetation and animal habitat.These workshops affect birds’habitation,especially those of the passerine birds.Vegetation type and condition have links to ecosystem goods and services (Yapp et al.,2010).Because of the damage to vegetation and changes in the hydrological environment,problems of soil erosion have also occurred in the mining region.Soil erodibility is middle-degree erosion with average erosion modulus of 2500–5000tons/km 2and average loss depth of 1.9–3.7mm/a.The major geological hazards are geologic subsidence and debris flow.There are tens of thousands of tons of coal gangue piled up at the Dagou ditch in the Wangping village of Mentougou.The blocked ditch affects forward flow drainage and flood control,and moreover,leads to potential mountain torrents and debris flow hazards.The residents and buildings nearby are threatened.The Nanjian village has 17other ditches meeting at the Nanjian ditch,where the coal gangue is accumulated;therefore,during heavy rains,debris flow indifferent degrees may occur.Many mountain landslides have occurred in Dongmagezhuang and Ximagezhuang villages.Geologic subsidence and ground settlement have frequently occurred in the mining region.Up until October 2003,the Zhaitang town of Mentougou had been the region most damaged by subsidence and uneven settlement with a total of 225cases.In Mentougou District the total number of land subsidence and exhausted mine collapse is 425,totaling an area of 175,927.35m 2.Through the above investigation we concluded the assessment on the impact of coal mining on water eco-service in Mentougou District (see Table 5).Statistical data show that the number of people lacking water (P L )is 23042;the standard on per capita water use (S P )is 51.10121m 3/a (CMC,2002);the local price of water (P W )is $0.44998/m 3;the number of people who suffered from water pollution-related illnesses (P I )is 1134;the average annual cost on treatment of illness per person (E M )is $96.65338;the average annual forest degradation area (A d )is 10.79km 2/a;the loss of biodiversity caused by forest damage in unit area (V L )is $3672.83/km 2(Yang and Chen,2002);the accumulated loss caused by water disaster (D P )is $109,411.6(Zhuo,2001);n is 8(from 1996to 2003);Table 2Average of economic benefits

et al./Ecological Complexity 8(2011)144–152148and the average annual yield(O a)is3.0796million tons/a(see Table2).Using the above Eqs.(1)–(7),the results suggest that the average annual loss caused by shortage in fresh water supply(E S)is $529,839.8/a;the average annual loss caused by water pollution (E P)is$109,604.93/a;the average annual biodiversity loss(E b)is $396,29.82/a;the average annual

Table6).3.2.4.ResultsResults of cost–benefit analysis are shown in Table7.pensation for water eco-service3.3.1.Financial compensationThe data shown in Table7indicate that coal enterprises,the Mentougou government,and the Beijing government,which benefited from coal mining,will have to offer compensation payments to the damaged region in Mentougou according to the results of water eco-service damage estimation.However,most of the coal mines in Mentougou have been forced to close and most of the coal enterprises have also closed down so that the accumulated losses from1996to2003can be paid for only by the Mentougou and Beijing governments in the proportion of1–17.But two state-owned coal enterprises and ten township coal enterprises still operating in Mentougou should offer payment in accordance with loss per unit ton(E y),which means that during their operations they should be are required to pay compensation of$0.22per ton of coal production.When sufficientfinancial resources are available to completely implement the payment plans,the Mentougou government has to make a one-time payment of$0.31million, while the Beijing government should offer a one-time compensa-tion of$5.23million.Funds for the implementation of payment in a certain region are usually restricted.If they are insufficient to completely implementTable6Results of water

requires us to consider other efficient measures.Consequently,the temporal and spatial issues of payment may be important as well.Some primary results have emerged from scenarios showing alternative schemes with different amounts at different times,as shown in Table 8.Scenario 3would be efficient because compensation payments would ensure that the area most seriously damaged will be able to obtain the largest proportion of funds.Meanwhile,in the temporal scale,the most reasonable distribution ratio of funds is 2:1.3:1.Furthermore,in the first twophases,the Mentougou government can pay only a relatively small amount of the funds without affecting the outcome.3.3.2.Water resource supplementationThrough the questionnaire survey among residents in the coal mining region,the varying water shortage situations in 20villages in the coal mining region were identified,and several measures and plans for water supply were calculated for local conditions as shown in Table 9.It shows that seven villages need drilling for more water,while six villages need construction of water supply plants,and seven villages need transformation ofTable 9Water resource supplementation
