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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAFFECTED POPULATIONSAPARTMENTSCOMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURECOMMUNITY SERVICESCOMPENSATIONDISPLACED PERSONSDISPLACEMENTECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTEMINENT DOMAINENCROACHERSEXPROPRIATED PROPERTYEXPROPRIATIONFAIR COMPENSATIONFORCED MIGRATIONGENDERGENDER ISSUESHOST COMMUNITIESHOUSESHOUSINGHOUSING AFFORDABILITYHOUSING COOPERATIVESHOUSING STANDARDSHYDROPOWERIMPOVERISHMENTIMPOVERISHMENT RISKSINCOME RESTORATIONINDIGENOUS PEOPLEINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINVOLUNTARY RESETTLEMENTLAND ACQUISITIONLAND COMPENSATIONLAND CONSOLIDATIONLAND SETTLEMENTLINEAR RESETTLEMENTMITIGATIONNATURAL DISASTERSPLANNINGPROJECT IMPACTSPROPERTY RIGHTSRELOCATION COSTSRESETTLEMENTRESETTLEMENT ACTIVITIESRESETTLEMENT ASSISTANCERESETTLEMENT COSTSRESETTLEMENT ENTITLEMENTSRESETTLEMENT IMPACTSRESETTLEMENT MONITORINGRESETTLEMENT PLANNINGRESETTLEMENT PLANSRESETTLEMENT POLICIESRESETTLEMENT POLICYRESETTLEMENT PREPARATIONRESETTLEMENT PROGRAMSRESETTLEMENT PROJECTSRESETTLEMENT SITESRESETTLEMENT STRATEGIESRESETTLEMENT SUPERVISIONRESETTLERSRESIDENCESRISK ANALYSISSANITATIONSECURITY OF TENURESHARECROPPERSSOCIAL DISARTICULATIONSOCIAL IMPACTSSOCIOECONOMIC SURVEYSSQUATTERSTRANSPORTURBAN AREASURBAN HOUSINGURBAN LANDURBAN RENEWALURBAN RESETTLEMENTWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-5576-7
