Reducing Relocation Risk in Urban Areas

As defined for this research, resettlement is a major integrated, comprehensive movement of people and families that normally involves significant distance between the original and new location. Resettlement involves not only new housing and services but also new social and economic relations, and new challenges such as access to work and social cohesion (Ferris, 2014). Relocation, meanwhile, refers to non-systematic movements of families or individuals from hazard-prone locations to nearby areas. Relocation therefore would involve less upheaval in terms of access to work and social networks (Ferris, 2012). Rehabilitation could be either relocation or resettlement, but could also mean in-situ upgradation.
