Difference between resettlement and rehabilitation
Answers
Answer:
People are forced to move out of their land due to both natural and manmade disasters. Natural
disasters like earthquakes, cyclones, tsunami etc. render thousands of people homeless and sometime
even force them to move and resettle in other areas. Similarly, developmental projects like
construction of roads, dams, canals and flyovers displace people from their homes. Leakage of nuclear
material in Japan resulted in millions of people being forced to leave the area for their safety. Thus,
resettlement refers to the process of settling again in a new area. Rehabilitation means restoration to
the former state.
