“…In previous studies, living necessities, home infrastructure, and environmental stability were the factors that increased the level of satisfaction of resettled people [92]. The home's location is a new place with sanitation facilities and hygiene practices [93]. In the case of the GBHP, the resettlers are satisfied with the locational characteristics, which positively impact their satisfaction.…”

“…In previous research, the health facilities have remained an issue for resettlers. In this case, the basic health facilities and health education are provided by the project authority and hospitals that are working in these three villages [93], and the people are satisfied with the GBHP. The good housing premises fulfill basic needs, so previous studies supported the idea that health facilities are considered major contributors to projects.…”

“…The level of satisfaction of resettlers depends on the quality of facilities, fulfillment of basic needs, and employment. In the case of the GBHP, proper waste management and a recycling unit is promoting a better environment [93]. Related to this, modern agricultural methods and techniques are used in the GBHP.…”

The construction of hydropower projects is increasingly prevalent worldwide, particularly in the context of climate change mitigation. Community displacement resulting from the construction of these projects raises significant questions about the post-resettlement welfare and satisfaction of the individuals subjected to project-associated relocation and resettlement processes. Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of physical resources, locational characteristics, the resettlement area, health facilities, housing facilities, communication, and the socio-cultural environment on the satisfaction of resettled people, along with two mediators: sustainable development and cultural resilience in the resettlement of the project-affected communities of the Barotha Hydropower Project (GBHP) in Pakistan. In this cross-sectional study, data are collected from 223 resettlers from three villages (Barotha, Eassa, and Feroze). The researchers examined sustainable development and cultural resilience as mediating factors that play a role in resettlers’ satisfaction. The physical resource results indicate that, in the GBHPP, resettled people are unsatisfied, while other variables such as locational characteristics, resettlement area, health facilities, housing facilities, communication, and socio-cultural environment play a significant role in resettlement satisfaction. The role of both mediators, sustainable development and cultural resilience, strengthen the relationship between the predictors and criteria in terms of their value and their contribution to the resettlers’ satisfaction. Through the analysis of these variables, this study offers a comprehensive understanding of these factors, which contribute to the satisfaction of resettlers. Additionally, the study seeks to provide insights that can inform the development of strategies that foster the creation of resilient and prosperous resettlement communities. The research conclusions will also aid in developing policies and community initiatives that support the happiness and wellbeing of resettled communities.

“…The scale for measuring the quality of dwelling (5 items) [30], quality of context (8 items) [30], residential satisfaction (4 items) [31], and quality of life (5 items) [29] have all been used and validated in the literature. Socioeconomic characteristics such as gender, level of education, and income are utilized in QoL research [12,[32][33][34][35].…”

The effects of large-scale land acquisitions for development projects such as mining, urbanization and dams are widely contested in the literature. Prior research has focused on the difficulties that resettlement poses for the affected families in terms of their capacity to meet the demands of the new community. This study suggests that resettlement (built environment) quality may act as a predictor and influence the residential satisfaction and quality of life of project-affected families. This study investigates how residential satisfaction influences the relationship between the quality of the dwelling, the context of resettlement homes, and the quality of life of mining-affected families in Ghana. A sample of 256 household heads displaced by a large-scale mining project in Ellembelle was used to evaluate the suggested model. The findings indicate that resettlement quality greatly enhances the quality of life of the mining-affected families. The findings also revealed that residential satisfaction was a significant mediator of the quality of dwellings and the context of the resettlement, in addition to being a strong predictor of quality of life. Indirectly, resident characteristics, such as socioeconomic and demographic conditions, influenced how people felt about their homes and quality of life. These results indicate that residential satisfaction and resettlement quality are accurate indicators of the mining-affected families’ quality of life. Integrating these features make it possible to quantify the mining-affected families’ quality of life for future research and public policy.
