Despite existing policy actions on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), many community members in Bududa still continue to settle in high-risk areas re-zoned for nonsettlement. There seems to be an apparent information asymmetry on expectations between the community and Government. The challenge then is ''. This paper sets out to explore policy options on resettlement management as a DRR approach and how engaging with communities in a public discourse using the Deliberative Polling (DP) approach; to obtain their opinions and insights on these policy issues, revealed underlying challenges to policy implementation.
A qualitative study was conducted in Bududa in eastern Uganda with fourteen group discussions; comprising 12-15 randomly assigned participants of mixed socio-economic variables. Trained research assistants and moderators collected data. All discussions were audio taped, transcribed verbatim before analysis. Data were analyzed using latent content analysis by identifying codes from which sub-themes were generated and grouped into main themes on policy options for resettlement management.
We used Deliberative Polling, an innovative approach to public policy consultation and found that although the community is in agreement with most government policy options under resettlement management, they lacked an understanding of the rationale underlying these policy options leading to challenges in implementation. The community members seemed uncertain and had mistrust in government's ability to implement the policies especially on issues of compensation for land lost.

尽管在减少灾害风险（DRR）方面已有政策行动，但布杜达的许多社区成员仍继续在重新划定为非居住区的高风险地区定居。社区与政府之间在期望方面似乎存在明显的信息不对称。那么面临的挑战是“”。本文旨在探讨作为一种减少灾害风险方法的重新安置管理政策选项，以及如何采用协商性民意调查（DP）方法在公开讨论中与社区互动；以获取他们对这些政策问题的意见和见解，揭示政策实施中潜在的挑战。
在乌干达东部的布杜达进行了一项定性研究，开展了14次小组讨论；参与者为12 - 15名随机分配的具有不同社会经济变量的人员。由经过培训的研究助理和主持人收集数据。所有讨论都进行了录音，在分析之前逐字转录。通过识别代码进行潜在内容分析来分析数据，从这些代码中生成子主题，并将其分组为重新安置管理政策选项的主要主题。
我们采用了协商性民意调查这一创新的公共政策咨询方法，发现尽管社区同意重新安置管理下的大多数政府政策选项，但他们对这些政策选项背后的基本原理缺乏理解，导致实施过程中出现挑战。社区成员似乎不确定，并且对政府实施这些政策尤其是在土地损失补偿问题上的能力缺乏信任。关键词：政策、协商性民意调查、气候变化、风险降低、山体滑坡、乌干达。
