Provisional Scoping and Mitigation Measures 7.1 Scoping Name of ooperation Project Urban Transport Policy and System Development Master Plan for the ity of Dar es Salaam No Impacts Rating Brief Description Social Environment * Impacts on Gender and hildren s right may be related to all social environment criteria. 1 Involuntary resettlement A The and rehabilitation of roads and transportation facilities (intersections, parking spaces, bus terminals) may require involuntary resettlement of local residents. 2 Local economy such as There is possibility of a loss of the foundations of employment and livelihoods, etc. economic activities and changes in economic structure. 3 Land use and utilization of local Existing land may need to be appropriated, including resources residential land, farming land, commercial land and recreation land. Local resources, such as wood, water, 4 Social institutions such as social infrastructure and local decision-making institutions 5 Existing social infrastructures and services 6 The poor, indigenous and ethnic people sand, and stone materials, may be used. Traffic congestions and an increase in accidents may hinder access to social institutions. Roads and traffic may divide local communities and hinder access to existing social infrastructures and services by certain groups of residents. The living conditions and lifestyles of the poor may change. No ethnic minorities live in the target area. A misdistribution of benefit and damage may occur among local residents, farmers and shop owners. 7 Misdistribution of benefit and damage 8 ultural heritage Existing cultural heritages and buried cultural properties may suffer damage and decrease its value. 9 Local conflict of interest B A local conflict of interest may occur in regard to the land after completion of the project. 10 Water usage or water rights and rights of common The route of existing water channels may be changed. 11 Sanitation An increase in garbage and insects may aggravate the sanitation environment. 12 Hazards (risks) There may be some risks of natural disasters such as Infectious diseases such as landslides and ground subsidence. The employment of road workers may increase the risk of HIV/AIDS HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases. Natural Environment 13 Topography and geographical There are no valuable topography and geographical features features in the target area. 14 Soil erosion Soil run-off may occur from areas where the earth has been cut or filled, as well as from soil disposal and withdrawal sites. 15 Groundwater Digging may cause the groundwater level to fall, and leachates may cause groundwater contamination. 16 Hydrological situation Modifications of landforms and the establishment of tunnels and other drilled structures may affect surface water and groundwater. 17 oastal situation Soil run-off may affect mangrove forests, coral reefs, and tidal flats where marine species live.

Pollution 22 Air pollution A onstruction machinery and vehicles will emit air polluting substances. 23 Water pollution B Earth cutting/filling work will cause a soil run-off from bare lands. Water polluting substances may be discharged from parking lots and service areas. 24 Soil contamination Dust from material storage yards, spraying of agricultural chemicals and discharge of grease may cause soil contamination. 25 Waste onstruction waste materials and concrete fragments may be generated. 26 Noise and vibration A onstruction machinery and vehicles will emit noise and vibration during and after the phase. 27 Ground subsidence A decrease the groundwater level during works may cause ground deformations and subsidence. 28 Offensive odor Offensive odors may occur as a result of inappropriate garbage treatment and gas emissions. 29 Bottom sediment A run-off of harmful substances during bridge works may cause sediment pollution. 30 Accidents B Traffic accidents, the handling of harmful substances, accidental fires, and explosions may endanger lives and the environment. A: Serious impact is expected; B: Some impact is expected; : Extent of impact is unknown; No mark: No impact is expected. IEE/EIA is not necessary. 7.2 Mitigation Measurement for IEE results Name of ooperation Project Likely impacts Rating Impact severity (e.g. magnitude, area extent, duration, frequency, reversibility, likelihood of occurrence) Involuntary resettlement A Involuntary resettlement may occur in densely-populated urban areas. The impact could be Urban Transport Policy and System Development Master Plan for the ity of Dar es Salaam Prediction method Possible mitigation measures - Social economy - Interview - Questionnaire - reation of a land appropriation and resident relocation plan - Detailed monitoring of the
