Hydropower generation by construction of large dams attracts
considerable attention as a feasible renewable energy source to
meet the power demand in Asian cities. However, large dam
development projects cause involuntary resettlement. Of the world s
forty to eighty million resettlers, many resettlers have been
unable to rebuild their livelihood after relocation and have become
impoverished. This book uniquely explores the long-term impacts of
displacement and resettlement. It shows that long-term post-project
evaluation is necessary to assess the rehabilitation and livelihood
reconstruction of resettlers after relocation. It focuses on large
dam projects in a number of Asian countries, including Indonesia,
Japan, Laos, Turkey, Sri Lanka and Vietnam, which are often ignored
in Displacement studies in favour of China or India. Drawing on a
wealth of empirical data over ten years, it presents crucial
factors for successful resettlement by analysing lessons learned.
The range of countries allow for a diverse and complex set of
factors and outcomes to be analysed. Many of the factors for
successful resettlement recur despite the cases being different in
implementation period and location. The book presents highly
original findings gathered by local researchers in the field
directly talking to resettlers who were relocated more than a
decade ago. The book suggests a new paradigm of resettlement for
resettlers to attain long-term sustainable livelihoods. This
original book is a unique resource for researchers and postgraduate
students of development studies, environment, geography, sociology
and anthropology. It also makes policy recommendations for future
resettlement programs that are of great value to development policy
makers, planners, water resources engineers and civil society
protest groups.
