Definition

  • Resettlement is the process through which populations displaced from their habitat and productive activities relocate to another site and reestablish themselves productively. As a sociological and anthropological concept, the term resettlement is used mostly in the context of policies, planning work, and social research dealing with displacements caused by development.
