“…When common property resources are lost, encroachment and pressure on reserved forests, rivers, and grasslands of the host area population increases by the displaced people, hence negatively affecting their ecological resilience (Terminiski 2012). In their visit to the IB Valley Coal field in the Indian State of Odisha in 2012, Sahoo and Mishra (2016) interacted with women who stated that much as life was difficult before displacement by the Coalfield mining operation. At least they had access to some common property resources such as water from the local river, fuel and fodder from the forests.…”

About 15 million people every year are forced to live their homes to give way for huge development projects such as dams, highways, and mining. In most developing countries, such projects have been noted to increase ecological and social vulnerability, thus leaving the affected people displaced, disempowered and destitute. The literature review paper focused on the different risks communities are exposed to due to development induced displacement and resettlement. The data presented is review of online peer-reviewed and grey literature between the years 1980 through 2018. The risks analyzed through the Impoverishment, Risk and Reconstruction (IRR) model acts as a guide in selecting and understanding the risks of development induced displacement and Resettlement (DIDR) during social vulnerability assessment. Often the question of social vulnerability has been largely ignored due to the difficulty in quantification. Risk analysis also provides ground to further investigate reasons for the occurrence and persistency of the risks, in developing countries such as India, Sudan and Kenya. The findings of the review through the IRR model indicated that displacement and resettlement exposes project affected people to some opportunities, but largely associated with more risks. Some of the reasons for the persistency of the risks included; compensation for lost properties and lack of experience and capacity to handle resettlement processes. Identifying reasons for the persistency of the already known risks, especially in developing countries builds on the previous work on DIDR risks by Micheal Cernea and other researchers.

“…A systematic search and review of the peer-reviewed literature on nexus between gender and development-induced displacement in the Global South including Africa, Latin America, Asia, and along with China and India, was carried out in order to understand the current and emerging theoretical and practical conclusions based on evidence. The geographical scope of the review was determined by the empirical finding that, over the past 20 years, the majority of communities have relocated in the nations of the region as a result of development initiatives (Sahoo & Mishra, 2016). For instance, in the sixty years since Independence, sixty million people have been uprooted in India alone as a result of development projects (Fernandes, 2008).…”

This comprehensive study on gender and development-induced relocation examines 98 papers from the Scopus.com collection. Between June and July 2022, a search of the academic literature was conducted using a set of preliminary key words. Mendeley Desktop 1.19 has been used to expedite this electronic search. In order to minimize bias in the identification, selection, synthesis, and summary of literature, the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis for protocols 2015 checklist is utilized in this study. Comparative case studies at the local project level, qualitative cross-sectional surveys, reviews, and mixed technique research are the most effective among a variety of studies carried out in various nations, even though there is no overt methodological bias. The main deprivations that displaced women suffer from more frequently than their male counterparts are a lack of access to land, housing, and employment; loss of access to public property; marginalization; a lack of capacity for making decisions; a lack of social cohesion; and unequal labor division. Because of internalized discrimination, women may find it more difficult to overcome these barriers. The authors of this study produce policy recommendations by carefully analyzing the empirical literature.
