Publication of the special issue of Impact Assessment and Project Appraisal on Displacement, resettlement and livelihoods
|
|
This special issue focuses on the issues associated with project-based land acquisition and resettlement processes, the displacement of people, and attempts to restore and enhance people’s livelihoods. Its publication in February 2017 coincide swith the Special Symposium on Resettlement and Livelihoods in Manila, The Philippines. This symposium of the International Association for Impact Assessmentis held in conjunction with the Asian Development Bank.
The key reason for the symposium and this special issue is that resettlement and its impacts are under-considered in the field of impact assessment . Given the history of harm created by displacement and resettlement, there is a real need to improve the practice of project-induced resettlement. The purpose of this special issue therefore is to increase awareness of the social issues associated with project-induced displacement and resettlement, and contribute to increasing capacity and knowledge about resettlement practice. The papers in this special issue are written by reflexive practitioners and some applied academics who share their experiences in an attempt to improve the practice of resettlement so that harm can be avoided and the intended positive outcomes of projects achieved.
Access to all papers is available from: http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/tiap20/35/1?nav=tocList
