Abstract

Thousands of people are uprooted as well as resettled every year from their homes, territories, and livelihoods to pave the way for large-scale development projects like dams, reservoirs, power plants, highways, plantations, urban redevelopment, and oil, gas, and mining operations. Development-induced displacement is the term for this type of forced displacement. People have been uprooted not merely from their homes, but also from homelands to which they may have ties from their ancestors. People who are displaced lose many things, includes their homes, productive assets, traditions, livelihoods, environmental factors that are appropriate to their skill and practices, community networks, as well as a sense of belonging. The extent of their deprivation, affliction, and pains is determined by the challenges they experience and the resources they have access to in their new place. Both the development process and the relocation can be justified if sufficient compensation is offered in the form of economic incentives and rehabilitation.
