Generally, construction of dams is regarded as means of economic
progress in many countries. Major consequences of such projects are
the inundation of upstream areas and the resettlement of entire
communities in newly-built environments where they experience
dramatic transformation in their lifestyles. The present study
takes the Nubian resettlement experience after the creation of Lake
Nasser that submerged their old settlements, along the river Nile.
Following their resettlement, the design of the newly-built
environment disrupted the Nubian traditional lifestyles and
patterns of privacy mechanisms, territoriality and social
interaction. The inadequacy of the newly-built environment was
mainly attributed to the Nubians' transfer from spacious homes in
the old villages to compact contiguous houses in the new
settlements. The arrangement of these resettlement state built
houses, distributed on the basis of household size, has further
resulted in the fragmentation and the dispersion of traditional
kinship-based neighborhoods. Within an interdisciplinary approach,
the study is based on theoretical, historical and conceptual themes
and on empirical research. It sets out to examine the households'
responses towards, and adaptation mechanisms with, the newly-built
environment, looking critically at the achievements of imposed
top-down planning in meeting the socio-cultural and economic needs
of those resettled.
