Bangladesh is a land of natural disasters. Every year the country is affected by flood, riverbank erosion, drought, coastal cyclone and tornado. Riverbank erosion alone displaces an estimated one million people annually. Based on research carried out in Bangladesh in 1984-85, this paper critically examines resettlement options of the displaced poor in the light of existing policies for developing more effective short and long-term resettlement and development strategies.
孟加拉国是一个自然灾害多发的国家。每年,该国都会受到洪水、河岸侵蚀、干旱、沿海气旋和龙卷风的影响。仅河岸侵蚀每年就导致约 100 万人被迫迁移。本文基于 1984-1985 年在孟加拉国开展的研究,从现有政策出发,批判性地审视了流离失所贫困人口的安置选择,以期制定更有效的短期和长期安置与发展战略。
