“…This disappointed many residents and led to a public outcry to the authorities responsible for the resettlement project. The Indonesian government eventually responded to the disappointment caused by this implementation failure (Karimi et al, 2009). A new rubber plantation was financed by a national budget in both Tanjung Pauh and Tanjung Balik.…”

“…This study selected Koto Masjid (in Riau Province) to represent better-performing villages, and Tanjung Balik (in West Sumatra Province) to represent worse-performing villages. The village selection is mainly based on income improvement after resettlement (Karimi et al, 2005;Karimi et al, 2009). A random-sampling method was used to select 50 resettled households from each village to participate in a survey.…”

“…A study based on secondary data from the Central Board of Statistics (BPS, 2006) found that poor families accounted for 24% of the resettled families; this statistic includes 37% of residents in Tanjung Balik and 18% of residents in Tanjung Pauh. The proportion of poor families in West Sumatra Province is about 6% (Karimi, Nakayama, & Takesada, 2009).…”

Construction of the Koto Panjang Dam was initiated in response to the rapidly increasing demand for electricity in the central region of Sumatra, Indonesia. The process of resettling the villages affected by this construction lasted from 1991 to 2000. The economic factors related to this resettlement programme include monetary compensation, productive capacity, and appropriate distribution of income. Better-off villages (such as those where a rubber plantation was found) received a higher level of compensation and used this compensation to purchase productive assets. Increasing the level of a family's income generates better income distribution and a lower level of poverty, whereas decreasing it creates worse income distribution and a higher level of poverty. The presence of productive capacity is necessary to guarantee the success of an involuntary resettlement programme that attempts to improve the standard of living for displaced peoples.

“…The expression of these failings -the impoverishment of resettlers -has been widely documented by academics and publicised by activists (Gebre, 2003;Satyanarayana, 1999;McDowell, 1996;Roy, 1999;Karimi et al, 2009). In summary:…”

When farmers are dispossessed of their lands to make way for a development project it is often inevitable that there will not be enough land to go around. It is unlikely that parcels of fertile land are lying vacant in the surrounding areas awaiting distribution. It therefore becomes necessary for people who previously derived their livelihoods from the land to move into cities. This research explores what happens to a sample of such people and whether they are able to restore their livelihoods. It examines the Three Gorges Dam resettlement in China's Hubei province and discovers that while the Chinese government has devised an inspired toolbox of benefit-sharing initiatives, the gains accrue to a minority who live in the most amenable location of the Three Gorges area. It concludes that the availability of capital through benefit-sharing initiatives does not guarantee its productive use.

“…Low household participation indicated that the resettlement program in Koto Panjang was more dominantly determined by the central government. The integration and involvement of local stakeholders did not go well (Karimi, et al, 2009;Uslaini and Purwanto, 2015). This is recognized by the government as a mistake, but improvements to reform the development paradigm have not yet been implemented.…”

It has been said that development requires sacrifice. This has been the experience of households living in Koto Panjang, Sumatra, Indonesia. Because of new dam construction, they have had to move to new settlements provided by the government. The displaced community consists of 4868 families from 10 villages. Many problems have arisen due to this removal. This study examines the influence of household participation and compensation on household welfare by using a Structural Equation Model. The sample consisted of 360 household heads from 12 villages in Koto Panjang whose households had been moved. The results show that compensation positively and significantly affected household welfare, while household participation could not be proven to affect household welfare.
