摘要: Abstract Studies of development-induced displacement and resettlement (DIDR) conservation-induced argue that when displaced people are resettled at a new location, their ‘hosts’ suffer impoverishment risks due to loss common property resources resettlers. Compensation for host communities, though acknowledged increasingly in policy, is rare practice. This paper unpackages ‘host community impacts’ by investigating intra-household variations livelihood impacts central Indian village case displacement. The ability households cope with gain from opportunities distributed unevenly along lines power encoded caste, class gender. However, we show site-specific historical ecological factors can create contingent multi-directional outcomes. Moreover, the overall human development impact on varies depending how old vulnerabilities like low cash income give way related stronger integration market developmental state.
