The book clarifies many policy, and
technical issues that confront resettlement policymakers,
and practitioners. It provides guidance on resettlement
design, implementation, and monitoring, and, it discusses
resettlement issues particular to development projects in
different sectors, such as urban development, natural
resource management, and the building of dams. Construction
of infrastructure, a prerequisite for sustained
socioeconomic growth, often requires the acquisition of
land, and therefore, the physical relocation, and economic
displacement of people. If such impacts, collectively
characterized as involuntary resettlement, are not
identified, and adequately mitigated, some already
vulnerable populations are likely to be further
impoverished, thereby undermining the objectives of the
development process. Integration of involuntary resettlement
issues into development projects facilitates expeditious
project implementation, and improves incomes and living
standards of affected populations.
